Dog Sitting Upper Arlington

About: My family got our first dog when I was 5 years old (I creatively named him Bingo). Since then, my love for dogs has only grown and I've cared for all types of dogs of various breeds from yorkies to hound dogs to golden doodles. I have experience in caring for senior dogs with medical concerns (medications, incontinence, etc) as well as puppies who may need additional attention. I love to take pups for walks and make sure they get plenty of exercise and entertainment while their pet-parents are away. I have experience with dogs from hard backgrounds that may be timid, so rescues are no issue for me. I would love the opportunity to care for your dogs! I am currently a graduate student, so I am available in the evenings during the week as well as all day on the weekends. I'm available for sitting/check-ins after 4 pm during the week and all day during on the weekend. I see pet care as a treat after a long day of grad school that allows me to destress, so I would love to be able to spend time with your pet while you are away. My pets are thoroughly spoiled. I love to pick up a surprise treat or toy on the way home for my fur-babies and I always make time to play with them after a long day. I show the same care and love for my clients' pets as I do for my own and I would love to spoil yours :) I encourage communication and am very quick to respond to texts, so please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any concerns or additional tips I should know about your pet.

“We’re so lucky to have Thea! She’s always looking out for ways to help me out, and Sasquatch has so much fun with her. We’d be lost without her!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and have always been comfortable caring for animals of different personalities and energy levels. I regularly pet sit for family and friends, including providing meals and fresh water, walks, playtime, companionship, and lots of attention while their owners are away. I understand how important it is to know your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for when you can’t be there. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual routine and preferences and will follow any care instructions closely. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands! I work from home, which gives me flexibility to provide plenty of attention, potty breaks, walks, and companionship throughout the day. I also have especially flexible availability on Fridays and weekends, making me a great option for weekend trips, date nights, or longer stays. I’m happy to work with your pet’s normal routine as much as possible, including their usual feeding, walking, playtime, and bedtime schedule. I know pets are often most comfortable in their own environment, so I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. During drop-in visits, I can provide feeding and fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, walks, medication if needed and within my comfort level, and plenty of attention and affection. For walks, I’ll prioritize your dog’s safety while making sure they get the exercise, stimulation, and sniffing time they need. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual personality and will follow any instructions regarding leash habits, other animals, feeding, or special routines. I’ll always treat your home respectfully, make sure everything is secure before I leave, and send photos and updates so you know how your pet is doing!

“Ellen did an excellent job dropping by to take care of my two kitties. She was very responsive and did everything I asked for them. Would definitely have her cat sit again!”

About: I lived with my brother’s dog for over 20 months, but I unfortunately no longer live with her now. I have done three house sits for cats but will accept dog only 😊 I work full time on weekdays and am available on weekends only (Friday night to Sunday night). I will be exploring parks and be happy to be in the nature with your dog. I will feed your dog regularly. I will make sure that your dog gets regular bathroom breaks (every 6 hours) and may send you a lot of photos.

“Caitlyn did a great job taking care of my cat while I was away. She was very kind with her, and left detailed updates and pictures each day. I would definitely book her again!”

“Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! Madison made us feel so comfortable leaving our dog while we are away. We used to board him and he would cry himself hoarse when we went out of town- he was SO happy to see Madison and get his walks, playtime, and not having to leave his own home. She went above and beyond for us and was very communicative with lots of pictures- Thanks for everything!”

About: I grew up caring for medium and large dogs, and for the past few years I’ve been a devoted cat dad. Friends often ask me to look after their pets because they know I’m dependable, patient, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I’m comfortable with a variety of pet personalities and routines, and I take pride in making dogs and cats feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for while their people are away. I am currently working part-time, so my schedule is flexible. I am generally available any day of the week and can accommodate most scheduling requests as long as I am given advanced notice. I focus on keeping pets comfortable by trying to follow their normal routines to the best of my ability. In your home, I make sure they get the right balance of attention, exercise, and quiet time. I handle feeding, walks, litter care, play time, and any special instructions with care and consistency. I always check in with updates so you know how your pets are doing, and I aim to create a calm, safe environment where dogs and cats feel relaxed while you’re away.

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

About: I had a dog from the time she was a puppy and I potty trained her, crate trained her and trained her in basic skills like sitting and how to properly walk on a leash. I love working with puppies and older dogs as well. I like to set up activities for them and interact with them a lot. I work during the week, so my weekend is free to care for your pets! I can be there from as early as 7am if you are hitting the road early for a road trip and I can be there typically until 9pm or if requested overnight. I can house sit and walk them, exercise them and set up activities to help your pup use their brains for social development and intelligence.

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’ve had dogs in my home for over 10 years and have daily hands-on experience with feeding, walking, and caring for a few different personalities and energy levels. I’m comfortable with all sizes and temperaments and focus on calm, safe, reliable care. Dog and Cat care fits naturally into my daily routine since I’m a stay at home mom, I’m already in the Upper Arlington, Grandview, and Hilliard area during the day. I’m available for morning or mid-day walks and check-ins, and I enjoy getting outside and building consistent routines with local dogs. I keep dogs safe by paying close attention on every walk and making sure they are always properly leashed and comfortable. I provide calm, consistent care and treat every dog like they’re my own. Safety and trust are my top priorities and I always make sure the get a little fun in too!

About: I am a veterinary student at THE Ohio State University and I am in New York for a veterinary internship. In addition to daily feedings, walking, and maintenance, I am also able to administer medication orally and via injections if needed. I also have pet guinea pigs and can help with small mammals too. My priority is to make your pet as comfortable as they can be while you are away. Available on weekends and evenings with prior arrangements. I am open to communicating with you to fiddle out how to best care for your pet Please leave instructions if applicable—mix water in food, rotate blankets etc—and I will make sure they happen. In your home, I am respectful of your privacy and will leave everything the way I found it. In my daily/per visit updates, I will note any changes in behavior and appetite so you can make decisions on what you want me to do to help your pet feel better.

“Words can’t describe how incredible Ashley is! She has only watched my cats once but I will never use anyone but her! She is so kind, compassionate, and considerate. My cats were so at ease with her and I was at ease knowing she was watching over them! Ashley is truly one of the sweetest and greatest people I have come across!”

About: I grew up with Susie (dog) and Corky (cat). I have helped many friends and neighbors care for their pets while they are away and enjoy walking, especially with a purpose! During the summer, I have a very flexible schedule and am available during the morning, midday, afternoon and evening for pets' varied needs and I love to walk. I take your pets' care seriously and am committed to making them feel comfortable and meeting their needs. Each pet has a distinct personality and varied needs.

“Kaylee was wonderful with our boy Lukas. It was a first time we ever left him home while out of town. Kaylee was thorough in communicating and did a great job keeping Lukas on schedule with walks and meals. Knowing Kaylee was reliable gave us security and peace of mind.”

“Juli was amazing with my pup, Sunny! Sunny is very timid and shy, and Juli was really patient with her. Sunny was even asking for belly rubs by the end of their first visit! I couldn’t recommend Juli enough, I will definitely be using her in the future!”

“Kelly did a fantastic job with my two kitties! My cats each have different gastrointestinal issues (IBD and a scarf-and-barfer) which require some pretty specific feeding instructions and Kelly followed them to a T, communicating with me when there were complications (which were not her fault in the slightest). She also cleaned up after the IBD cat when necessary. She took plenty of pictures and my cats were healthy and well upon my return. Thanks so much!”
