“Leann is perfect! This was my second time working with her and it was just as amazing as the first. So kind, communicative, and the cats love her. Leann is so trustworthy & also sends great photos and updates.”

“Abby is a superior dog sitter. I have 4 special needs yorkies & Havanese and Abby had to medicate, feed special food and provide lots of attention even carrying a dog downstairs to go to the bathroom. Abby is proactive, attentive & cleans everything so effectively!! Highly recommend!”
“Super responsive, follows all instructions, does meet and greets, addresses any concerns and tailors care to dog’s needs. Super flexible as well. Thank you for taking care of Doug!”

“Super appreciate Megan as I booked close to my vacation and she was able to help me out. My cat Bucky was well taken care of and I will have no worries when I leave my pet at home if she is taking care of him. Thanks again!”

“Maggie was excellent with my cat who can be a bit shy with new people. Quick, clear communication. Will definitely have Maggie care for my girl again! :)”

“Butterscotch was in great hands this weekend! She was shy at first, but by the end was coming out right away to greet Siobhan — that says everything about how comfortable and cared for she felt. Siobhan also sent tons of photo updates throughout the stay, which made it so easy to relax and enjoy the trip. Highly recommend!”

“Riley's actions speak loud! She loves what she does! She's prompt and thorough for every drop in! She went above and beyond with the photos, notes AND she left our home neat and tidy! I highly recommend Riley to care for your fur babies while you're away, they will love her!”

“Mariya was fantastic caring for my elderly dog! She was able to take my request on very short notice and took great care of him while I was away! Thank you!”

About: I’ve taken care of pets ever since I can remember! I’ve taken several classes on puppy training through Pilot Dogs at OSU, lived with up to four pets at once, and have experience pet sitting through family friends and neighbors! I have also worked at veterinary clinics and animal welfare positions that have given me experience in animal behavior, health emergencies, and necessary restraint for nail clippings, medication administration, and bathing. I’m a full time student at Ohio State, majoring in Zoology with a minor in Animal Science! Entering my last year of school is such an exciting experience for me, but I find myself with a lot of downtime so I’d love to use it to make others’ lives easier! I currently just permanently moved to Columbus, and have a little kitty cat of my own living with me! His name is Mocha, and he’s about a year old now! I take care of him every day through feeding him, picking up his litter, and playing with him when he gets the zoomies!

About: I’m an Ohio State sophomore studying animal sciences on track to be a veterinarian and I have worked at a vet clinic for 3 years! I have extended experience in administering medications, both oral and injectable, including diabetic care. I also have 2 golden retrievers at home and 4 cats. I’m currently a student at Ohio State and have my car on campus if needed! I have lots of breaks during my day that I would be able to get out and help! I will always make sure your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m comfortable following your pet’s routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide.
“Erica was amazing! I have a high needs cat and Erica took the time to meet and learn how to take care of him ahead of time. Highly recommend and I’ll certainly be a repeat client.”

“Joey was polite, professional, and communicated well. He took care of both of my cats and provided valuable peace of mind while I was out of town. I would definitely book his services again.”

About: I’ve cared for dogs my entire life and have several years of professional experience as a canine caretaker, including managing 20+ dogs at a time. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your dog in someone else’s care, and I’m committed to providing reliable, attentive care while you’re away. I’m a first-year law student with classes in the morning and afternoons spent studying, which gives me some flexibility to incorporate pet care into my daily routine. I’m organized and responsible with my schedule and can plan my day around walks, check-ins, and spending time with your pet. Caring for dogs has always been a part of my life, and I enjoy having that balance alongside school. I Every dog has different needs depending on their lifestyle, personality, and temperament, so I tailor my care to each dog and their owner’s routine. I make sure they get the appropriate amount of exercise, attention, and playtime while keeping them comfortable and maintaining their usual schedule as much as possible. I’m also happy to follow any specific instructions for feeding, walks, medications, or other routines to ensure they receive consistent, personalized care.

About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember! I’ve grown up with both cats and dogs and have always been the one to make sure they’re happy, healthy, and cared for. I’m currently a proud cat mom to two cats who are quite literally my children, I truly believe pets are family and deserve all the love in the world. ❤️ My friends and family regularly trust me to look after their pets because they know how much I genuinely love animals. I even originally dreamed of becoming a veterinarian before pursuing my passion for fashion design! No matter what kind of pet you have, I’ll treat them like my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet your furry family members and give them all the love and attention they deserve! 🐾 I work from home half of the week, which gives me extra flexibility to spend time with your pets! On weekends, I’m usually home spending time with my two cats, so I’d love to have some extra furry friends to keep me company. I’m happy to coordinate schedules and make sure your pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and care. I’ll do my best to accommodate your pet’s routine and needs! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my priority! If watching a dog in my home, my cats will be put in a separate room for every pets well being! I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I’ll be sure to follow your instructions carefully. I’ll keep your home clean, make sure your pets have fresh water, food, exercise, and plenty of affection, and provide updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away. I’ll treat your pets and your home with the same love and respect I give my own two cats!
“Molly was amazing with my babies! My oldest, Jackie, is very nervous around new people, but Molly handled it with care and expertise. We will definitely be booking with her again!”

I highly recommend Emma! Upon our first meeting, one of my cats was immediately obsessed with her. My other cat is a bit shy but curious, and by the end of the stay, she came out for pets! Emma was communicative, detailed, and completely reliable. I'll definitely be booking her again.

Emma has been someone that me and my dogs can count on to help us out through very trying times. My mother recently passed away and I had to make a 16 hour round trip in 2 days to attend her funeral. My first thought was “who is going to watch the dogs?!” Emma was available and more than willing to help us out. It is such a great relief when you are hours away from home but know that your house and your dogs are safe in Emma’s hands. Will book again and again 🖤
