About: I currently manage a pet care boarding and daycare facility, so taking care of animals is a big part of my everyday life. I’ve worked with all kinds of animals, from energetic puppies who need structure and patience to senior pets who need a little extra attention and care. I’m comfortable giving medications (oral and diabetic injections), following detailed routines, and getting to know each pet’s individual personality. Working in pet care has taught me how important it is to pay attention to the little things. I’m used to noticing when a pet is acting differently, figuring out what they need, and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I also know how important communication is, so I like to keep owners updated with pictures and messages so they know how their pets are doing. Whether your pet needs a long walk, some extra playtime, meds, or just someone to hang out with them, I’m happy to give them the same patience and attention I’d want someone to give my own pets! :) I currently work at a pet care facility, so caring for animals is already part of my daily routine. Outside of my shifts, I’m available to provide pet sitting and drop-in visits, which allows me to stay flexible while continuing to do something I love. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all feeding, playtime, and medication instructions exactly as provided, and I make sure to give extra attention to their favorite spots and habits—whether that’s a window perch, a certain toy, or a bedtime routine. I keep the home tidy, refresh food and water regularly, and make sure the litter box (or yard for dogs) is clean and comfortable. I also provide updates and photos so owners feel connected while they’re away.

“Payton is always on time and looks after the girls like they are her own. Since I have chihuahuas they typically don’t like to walk too far so she sits with them after they go potty to fill up the time. Another great walk/sitting!”

About: Animals are my entire life, and also my eventual career! Over 10 years ago I started walking my neighbors dogs and fell in love with animal care. Since then, I have gained a ton of experience by working with all sorts of animals in my high school animal labs and farms, working in a small animal vet clinic, volunteering at shelters and ICUs, pet sitting for family friends, knowledge through my animal science courses, and much more. I love all types of animals, and I truly hope to provide the best of service to your family pets! I am currently a college student, but I have a lot of free time throughout the week and the weekends to provide my services. My best availability is from Fri-Sun, however I can still fit quality care throughout most of the week Every time I let your pet go outside, I always make sure to have them on a leash to keep control of them for everyone’s safety. In fenced in areas, I am always outside with them to supervise so they have someone to play with and make sure they are keeping out of trouble. I am very flexible in pet care and will do whatever it takes to cater to their needs

“Audrey has been absolutely amazing! A true blessing! She worked with our quirky puppy dog. Truly engaged I cannot tell you how amazing she is to work with with. I recommend her wholeheartedly… book with her right now!”

Meredith R.

“Ryan was awesome! He was very accommodating with my schedule changes, and Leo was soo happy when he came back from his walks. Will definitely book with him again in the future!”

About: I’ve worked with animals of all sizes, from the smallest neonates to the largest of dogs! I am a college student studying biological sciences on a pre-med track. Outside of school, animals are my passion. I worked at a high volume emergency animal hospital for 3 years, and have previously worked in pet boarding & daycare! Each day, I dedicate time to feeding, walking, playing, and checking in on the pets in my care, ensuring they feel safe, stimulated, and loved. My routine is flexible and centered around their needs, whether that means early morning walks, midday playtime, or evening cuddles. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and nurturing environment tailored to each pet’s routine and personality. I keep things clean, stick to established routines, and provide regular updates with photos and notes. Whether it's feeding, administering medication, or giving extra belly rubs, I treat every pet like part of my family.

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats throughout my neighborhood since I was 12. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to feed, walk, stay with and sometimes bathe their pets. I also have been fostering dogs through Gigis since 2020. It has been such a pleasure to be able to support shelter dogs and watch them find their forever families. I am currently very available when it comes to days and times. I work part time, but my schedule changes frequently. Can be very flexible! I have lots of experience with dogs whether that be walking, playing with them or even crating them if needed. I can handle all sorts of breeds and have experience with cats as well.

“Taylor has been very helpful. She has come and walked our very energetic dog on a weekly basis and I have had 0 difficulties getting ahold of her or getting feedback about how everything went. She is very sweet and a great choice for your pet!”

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.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life. For the past 5 years, I’ve cared for my own dog with a sensitive stomach, which has made me especially attentive to diet, routines, and overall well-being. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions and keeping a close eye on behavior to ensure every dog stays happy, healthy, and stress-free. I keep a very clean home to minimize your pet picking up anything they shouldn’t. I work from home so I’m happy to watch your pup for day care or boarding. I can take your dog outside for walks or just potty breaks if needed. I work with dogs who are comfortable roaming the house. They must be friendly and used to other dogs since I have a 5 year old bernedoodle of my own. My dog loves to play but also nap.

About: *Full disclosure I am being more selective of which opportunities as I enter my final thesis year of grad school. I will always respond to a message but I just want to be as transparent as possible!* I am currently in graduate school and would love to get to spend some of it loving your pets! Growing up we always had pets in my home. I volunteered at an animal shelter for 2 years. I went 3 days a week to walk, play, and socialize the dogs and cats. Growing up I worked at a horse farm for 8 years where I cared for horses but also the barn cats. In 2020 I worked at the front desk of a veterinary practice helping check in animals and update charts. 4 years ago my boyfriend and I adopted a lab-pit mix, who came from a rescue with some quirks we have learned to work with and love. I have loved animals all my life and feel they each bring their own personalities if you just take the time to listen to what they need. I am excited to get to meet and care for your pet! I am in graduate school so with advanced notice I can have some flexibility over my schedule. I have a dog of my own so I am used to walking and playing in all weather. I am here to help support you and your pet. My dog is dog selective so sadly play dates aren’t an option but I also understand that not every dog is going to be every dog’s best friend and that’s fine! (That’s why they have me!)

About: What sets me apart is the genuine care and attention I give to every pet. I understand that leaving your pet with someone new can be stressful, so I make it a priority to keep them comfortable, happy, and on their normal routine. I’m dependable and organized, and I take commitments seriously. I’ll make sure your pet’s care is a priority and that they receive the time and attention they deserve. I know pets are most comfortable when their routine stays consistent, so I’ll take the time to learn their preferences, habits, and any special instructions before you leave. I’m also happy to send regular photo and text updates so you know how your pet is doing

About: I have been taking care of dogs for most of my life, helping family, neighbors, and friends. My family dog growing up was my whole world, and now so is my dog Lu. Lu and I work very diligently on training and spend some time every day working on something. I am passionate about learning about dog behavior and dog training, and it’s been amazing watching Lu learn with me. I work from home full-time; some days I leave once for 1-3 hours. Your pet will have consistent supervision and companionship throughout the day, and I have no trouble sticking to their routine for feeding, walks, potty breaks, and naps. It is also my pride and joy to give as much love and attention as humanly possible! I live in a clean, cozy, one-bedroom apartment on the second floor--I do not have a yard, but am always available for walks, trips to dog parks, or time on the field right next door. I also live right next to the Olentangy trail. My coonhound mix, Lu, is sweet and cuddly and loves to play, but is adept at reading other dogs' cues regarding play and backs off if your pet isn't feeling it.

About: I have taken care of a Chihuahua and a golden retriever for years. the Chihuahua for 4 years and the golden retriever for 3 years. I am available for pet services in mix with my school schedule since I am a full time college student. I have free time usually in the evenings and would love to spend it with lovely fur babies. I prefer taking care of pets In the owners home, I live on campus housing so while there is quite a lot of opportunity for outside space and time I do not have a fenced off area. in the owners home I stick to their schedule if provided for feedings, bathroom breaks, etc. My space is smoke-free.

“It has been wonderful working with JoVonna. Communication is especially great. I’m grateful she has been added to our puppy raising team! It takes a village! 😅”

Stacey H.

“Shelby was fantastic! 10/10 would recommend and an on having her walk Bluey more!”

Megan B.

“Thomas was fantastic and I definitely recommend him to anyone in the area. He took my dog Fluff on nice long walks throughout the neighborhood, giving him great exercise and time to sniff. They bonded very quickly, which is great given how nervous my dog can be :-)”
