Emma watched Sadie while we were away for a day. She was communicative when needed, did everything we asked of her, and even stayed a little while extra to comfort Sadie when Sadie was afraid of fireworks going off outside. Sadie was cared for and in good spirits when we returned. We would happily book Emma again!

Lyndsey was an incredible sitter for Lincoln. It was his first time being with a sitter while I was out of town and Lyndsey really did everything to make it a comfortable experience for him. He was happy and exercised when I got home. My place was clean and tidy when I got back too. Thank you so much Lyndsey!

About: Hi! I am a pet owner and enthusiast. Since I am a professor, I work from home and have a lot of free time in summers and holidays to hang out with your wonderful dog. I love getting to know a pet’s wants, anticipate their anxieties, and most importantly play! My work requires me to be on-site part time, so I am quite flexible for overnight stays, extra long walks, and boarding at my place with my sheltie Flora. I have a two bedroom apartment with my sweet, spayed sheltie Flora who loves to play and take naps. I am quite active so I would be happy to take your dog on long epic walks.

Kristen was so great! She was available on very late notice and came over to meet me and my pups the same day! She went above and beyond with photo and video updates which were amazing to see while traveling. You can tell she had a genuine interest in caring for the pups and not just there “punching the clock”. She did way better than I could have ever hoped and was a life saver in what was a last minute situation. 5⭐️

My dogs were so happy when we came home and that tells me everything I need to know about her. She’s the best!

Downtown, Columbus, OH, 43215

About: I’ve been walking my two dogs around downtown for more than 5 years—we know all the best spots! I nursed one of my dogs during surgical recovery and both are technically geriatric at this point, so I have experience with dogs of nearly all ages. Would love to get to know your fur babies! I work remotely downtown so my schedule is fairly flexible. Some days I have no meetings at all! Even when I do, they are few and far between. I generally tend to stay local to Downtown when I’m not working too. Plenty of walks and playtime, always making sure to keep an eye on them so they stay out of trouble. My dogs love to snuggle so we often curl up on the couch with a good show or movie!

Kati took such wonderful care of my dog, Benji! From the start, I felt completely at ease, and it was clear that Benji did too. One of the things I appreciated most was Kati’s communication. She sent regular checkins along with the most adorable pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was obvious from the photos that Benji was relaxed, having fun, and getting plenty of love and attention. I’m so grateful for the care Kati provided and would absolutely trust her with Benji again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and attentive dog sitter!

Mikaela is so awesome!!! 2nd time she watched my dog and cat while I was out of town for a week each time in 4 months - I knew after the first time she watched them I wanted to ask her again before looking for anyone else, and I was SO glad she was available! She does a fantastic job not just feeding and walking pets but making sure they get all the pets and belly rubs they need - I could not recommend anyone better 🥰 thanks again Mikaela!!!

Sarah was great watching our two adorable if not anxious and energetic pups! She was great about fitting in a meet and greet and was communicative through the whole process. She was comfortable and great with them both right away and not put off by them as they adjusted to meeting her. Especially our 11 month old puppy. During her two night stay with them she sent photos and updates, and adjusted to accommodate their anxiety the first night when they were confused about where we were. She took them for walks independently and they both looked happy and relaxed in her care! As a first time user of this app, our minds were at ease and we are so glad to have had her and will definitely use her again!

Jacinda was great! We have 3 big dogs and she did a great job taking care of them -- our dogs all liked her so much that by day 3 our skittish Pyrenees was up on the sofa with her. She gave us daily check-ins with photos like we asked for and was very prompt responding to any questions we had. The house was tidy and neat when we got back, and she was even thoughtful enough to wash and dry the towels and sheets we had in our laundry basket. If we needed a house sitter again, we would absolutely reach out to Jacinda!

Jess house sat and watched our two labs for about a week while we were on vacation and did a fantastic job. She’s communicative, and does a great job messaging with updates or any questions she has. Our house was in great shape upon our return and I could tell our dogs had a great time with her based on how relaxed they seemed. We will definitely be having her back for another sit! Thanks, Jess!

Katelyn was very responsible and took care of not only our cat, but fed the birds, fed the feral cat, took care of the koi pond and all of our outdoor potted plants. She responded promptly to my texts & left no doubt in my mind that all was okay while we were gone. I would definitely hire her again.
