“We were initially apprehensive about hiring someone to take care of our beloved Shih Tzu-Yorkshire terrier mix, Nikko. However, Cindy’s exceptional service quickly put our worries to rest. She went above and beyond in every aspect of her care. Nikko had a fantastic time at Cindy’s daycare and even made some new doggie friends. Cindy kept us updated throughout the entire process, sending pictures and providing detailed updates on Nikko’s activities and well-being. It was clear that she genuinely cared about Nikko and his happiness.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 16, and to me, they’re not just pets—they’re family. I have a soft spot for puppies and experience training them, but I also love giving senior dogs the gentle care they need. My home is cozy, with a fenced-in yard where your dog can play and explore safely. I only use non-toxic products because I want the best for your dog’s health. My focus is on providing natural, loving care to help your pup feel right at home. Since I work from home and have my own dog, pet care is just part of my daily rhythm. I love taking breaks to hang out with my dog in the yard—whether it’s playtime, a quick walk, or just chilling together. It’s a perfect balance, and it allows me to give your dog the attention they deserve while still getting my work done. Safety’s my priority, and I want your fur baby to feel at home. With a fenced-in yard and a friendly dog to keep them company, they’ll have plenty of space to play. I also have cozy crates for relaxation. My home is a calm, loving space where every pup gets the care they deserve.

My own dog gets walked four times a day. My cat has a water fountain and lots of toys. The litterboxes are cleaned daily and deep cleaned once a month. My cat is fed on a schedule (once in the morning and once in the evening) but I am happy to accomodate any feeding preferences for my clients pets.

About: Animals have my heart. ❤️ While I'm newer to Rover, I've cared for animals for over two decades. I've had lots of my own and fostered many, many others from bottle-fed to seniors. I currently have two Pomeranians (ages 8 and 4) who are very socialized and great with all sizes. My two oldest human children are grown and in college leaving just my 14 year old at home with my husband and I. We are a proud military family and love living in Columbus! I've provided pet care for 20 years and know how tough it is for you to leave your pet, I've been in your shoes as well! I'll send lots of updates and pictures to help ease that anxiety! We have a two story home with a fully fenced in backyard - and my home is animal-proofed! We go on daily walks if the weather cooperates and like going on adventures to the state parks to walk some trails and even go for a dip in the creek of you're comfortable with that! When your pet is here, it's one of our pack! I will only have pets from ONE family at a time. I'm happy to take more than one pup from the same family! I work from home in outsourced accounting so I'm always available and present for your pet in my home or yours! My schedule is flexible so if you only need me to run over periodically or walk your pet, I can do that, too! Safety and trust are important and each pet and client is different. We'll discuss in clear detail what you and your pet need prior to sitting for them. I'll provide pictures and updates to help ease any anxiety about you being away from your furry best friend. Only one family's pets are boarded at a time. Your furry friends will get our focus and attention during our stay!
