Sent me lots of pictures . I know he had a great time with Destinee and her pets . Great communication and good vibes. I felt comfortable knowing my dog was with her . Thank you so much .....”


“We had an amazing experience with Ruby! She treated our girl like a princess 👑 She sent so many pictures and videos, reassuring us that she was having a great time. We will definitely be boarding with her again!”

“I’ve never left my dog with a stranger, so I was apprehensive about leaving him with Robin, but she was great! She sent me text messages and pictures every other day. My dog seemed really content when I picked him up! I will definitely use Robin again and recommend her to friends!”

“We felt very comfortable leaving our Scottie, Finnley with Hugh. From the first contact, communication was easy and efficient. Since Finnley is selective with humans, we met with Hugh several days before leaving Finnley. There were no issues, so that indicated that Finny approved of Hugh which is important to us. Hugh sent pictures and texts of how things were going so we were well informed. We would leave Finny with Hugh again when needed.”

“Jasmine was wonderful. Easy drop off and pick up and she sent videos and pictures of Maple ever day. We were in a bind trying to find care and Jasmine responded quickly. The next time we need a sitter in Columbus, we’ll definitely ask Jasmine first!”


“This was my first time using Rover for my own dogs, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! I felt completely at ease leaving my pups with Brook. She sent daily updates with photos, and it was so nice to see how comfortable they were while there. My dogs loved being around her and her family. I will definitely be booking with her again!”

“Kamela went above and beyond. She allowed Abbott and me to do a meet and greet to see her family, home, and yard to ensure it was a good fit before booking. She sent frequent updates about how Abbott was doing. This made me feel comfortable leaving home without my baby. I definitely will book again.”


“Christine did a great job while watching Oliver! She kept clear, prompt, and timely communication and she made Oliver feel like he was a part of her family. We will definitely use Christine again in the future.”

“Julie was great with Tucker and he had a great stay! She took care of him like he was her own! She sent photos and kept us updated on how things were going. We wouldn’t hesitate to have Julie take care of Tucker again! ?”

“Juno was well taken care of at Lauren's! She has a big backyard and such sweet doggos to play with my sweet girl. Lauren updated me daily and responded quickly when I checked in on my baby. I'll definitely count on Lauren again for boarding.”

“Deborah and Jeffrey were absolutely amazing! Genuinely the nicest people ever! I couldn’t have asked for better qualified people to take care of my babies while I was gone. Communication was 10/10! It’s a no brainer that I would request their services again in the future!”

“Nicole was wonderful with our new puppy. She sent pictures and videos during our time away from our baby. It was so reassuring to know she was in good hands. We will definitely allow Nicole to sit for us again.”

“I had an excellent experience leaving my dog, Waylon, with Keith. Keith was responsive to messages before & during Waylon's stay. I also received a few pictures. I felt confident that Waylon was in good hands while my family was on vacation.”

About: Hi, my name is Melinda of bark and stroll. I love animals. I have my own animal and I love taking care of animals inside my home or your home. I am retired, and I have plenty of time to take care of the animals. I love playing with them and taking them on nice walks. I have a decent sized yard. It’s not fenced in so I do walk the animals on a leash and we have some woods with paths near my house. If the dogs over 50 pounds I prefer them to be crate trained.
About: I’ve taken care of various dogs, cats, and reptiles my entire life. From a young age I trained, fed, walked, and bathed dogs. I currently have 6 dogs, two turtles, and a bearded dragon. I am extremely familiar and comfortable taking care of elderly dogs/medication management. I also have impaired dog experience- one of my dogs is deaf and blind and an another dog who is fully deaf. I have owned dogs of all kinds and breeds. I have a hybrid nursing job with a lot of flexibility. I also tend to be home and available majority of weekends to dog sit! My day fits around a dogs schedule of getting walks/outdoor time, having enrichment with lick mats or puzzle toys, and having the comfort of someone around nearly 24/7.
“Laura was amazing. She sent multiple pictures every day which helped put my mind at ease. Also, we were ghosted by our sitter the day we were to leave for vacation. My husband got to their door to drop our dog off and no one answered. He waited for 45 minutes to no avail. I sent Laura a message and she called me within minutes. She was very willing to help. She saved our vacation!”


“I can't recommend Danielle highly enough! She stepped in at the last minute to provide specialized care for my cat after an incident just days before vacation. We so relieved knowing my pet was in such capable hands. Being a vet med for over a decade she is incredibly knowledgeable, attentive, and confident handling medical needs. Danielle took the time to ensure my cat, Jelly, was comfortable and well cared for, and they kept me updated throughout. It's not easy to find someone with this level of experience and compassion. I would absolutely trust them with my cat again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a skilled and dependable pet sitter.”
“Our babies, Milo and Quinn, were so well taken care of while we were away!! Garrett and Maria are wonderful and we would highly recommend them! We could tell Milo and Quinnie had a great time - thank you so much!”

“Kayla is very understanding and was able to flex her time based on my travel schedule. This was the first time I left my cat alone and I came back to a very happy and calm kitty. Thanks Kayla!”

About: I have always loved cats and I have helped take care of my friend's cats while they were away. I will always take care of them the way I would want my own cats to be taken care of. I want to make sure you feel comfortable enough to leave your pets with me so you don't have to worry.

About: Hi, I’m Olivia :) I’ve had animals my entire life—including dogs, cats, and birds—and even grew up on a farm, so caring for animals has always been second nature to me. I truly love all animals, and I understand that every pet has their own unique personality, routine, and needs. At home I have two kitties of my own that I love dearly, Gus and Sammie. Because I love to travel myself, I know how important it is to have someone caring, dependable, and trustworthy looking after your pets. Being able to give pet parents peace of mind is exactly why I’m here. I work a hybrid job, which gives me the flexibility to work remotely on many days. Just let me know the dates you’re looking for, and I’ll be happy to check my schedule. I’m comfortable with overnight stays, drop-in visits, walks, feeding, and keeping your pets on their normal routine. Growing up babysitting taught me responsibility, patience, and compassionate care for those who depend on us, and I bring that same level of care to every pet I watch. I treat every animal as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, happy, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I also love being outdoors, so walks and playtime are always something I look forward to! I’m happy to answer any questions you may have for me!! I look forward to meeting you and your furry (or hairless 😆) family members!
“Samantha was so awesome with our cats! She really went above and beyond to make sure they were taken care of and comfortable with her. We received excellent communication about how they interacted, ate, played etc. and of course got lots of pictures. Definitely will be booking with her again for any future trips!”


“Wonderful! Terrific communication & got the cats out of their scared of strangers mode. Worked with all their particular needs. Can't wait to use Kayla's services again! Thank you Kayla for the great care you gave our cat crew.”

“Kaydin was amazing with my boy Baxter. I trusted her in my home which is hard to say in this world today. Highly recommended dogsitter/drop in dog caregiver or any animal for that matter.”

About: I’ve had cats my whole life, but have worked with them professionally for 3 years now. I specialize in nutrition and behavior, but also care for my own cat’s basic needs daily. I live by the motto: all pets should be treated as my own.
“Courtney was absolutely amazing with my 3 kitties! She was consistently, always communicated and sent the best photos! Made me feel so comfortable and relaxed to be away while they were cared for! Thanks Courtney!!”


About: I have so much love and passion for sweet kitties. I have had many different breeds over the years and have enjoyed each and every one. I recently rescued a 4 week old Turkish van kitten who had a critical eye infection and upper respiratory infection. After a vet visit and a couple medications for about 2 weeks. She is now 7 weeks and a healthy happy little girl! I would love to take care of your babies as well and love them like my own.
“Elizabeth did a great job, again! She visits the cats, takes care of food, water, and litter. My cats are typically shy but she makes an effort to find them if they don't come out of their hiding places. Highly recommend.”

About: Just a stay at home mom who also loves fur babies. I love my fur babies as if they were real human babies, and I’ll do the same with yours! I am currently a stay at home mom so I am available all day. Whether that’s for walks, midday drop in’s, or even needing someone for longer periods of time. If at my house your fur babies will be allowed on furniture. They will be treated as with respect and love. Given many lovings as needed.
“Highly recommend Debbie! She was so good with our pup. She posted pictures every visit so we could see her while we were gone. She was very quick on responding and a great communicator. We will definitely be using her again!”

About: I have worked with animals as long as I can remember. I graduated with an Animal sciences degree at one of the only AZA (American Zoological Association) accredited Colleges/Schools in the United States. I have worked with a wide variety of species, including Venomous Reptiles, Fruit Bats, hoof-stock, primates and raptors. After I had children I switched to working with vets and worked for an AAHA accredited practice in Florida as a vet technician. I currently have two Labrador Retrievers. They enjoy long walks and playing in the snow. I am comfortable with all breeds and sizes of animals, including any exotics that may need cared for. Please reach out and connect with any animal questions you may have. And i look forward to meeting you and furry feathered or scaled creatures.

“Jasmine was absolutely wonderful with our 4-month-old puppy! She was friendly and polite, and we could tell right away that he was in great hands. She followed all of the instructions we left for her and sent us many updates throughout the day, which we really appreciated. This was our first time leaving our puppy for daycare, so we were naturally a little nervous, but Jasmine made the entire experience completely stress-free. Her communication and care gave us so much peace of mind. We would absolutely recommend Jasmine!”

“Pete comes how tired so I know he had a good time. Hey we're able to take Pete with only a days notice which I appreciate...but I usually try to plan ahead. I know Pete enjoys the big yard and lots to explore. And it is always a bonus when he is able to take a nap because he is often too excited to do so. Super easy to work with!”

“Deborah and Jeffrey are warm and they genuinely love dogs. I’ve booked doggy day care with them for my dog several times now. They’re very good at communication and taking care of my fur baby as their own. I highly recommend them!”

“I dropped off Oz, our 6 year old, curious, mischievous and playful Husky-Keeshond, at Laura’s house for daycare and as well a surprise overnight boarding and he loved it!! He was good and tired from playing all day with other dogs and walking in the park and to top it all off the photo updates on the dog’s activities throughout the day were awesome!! My wife and I just wish we had found out about her sooner!! We will definitely consider her our first option the next time we need daycare, boarding or or the next time Oz just needs a day of fun!”

About: Hey there! I am Jen. I can’t walk past a dog without saying hi. Love being active outdoors, going for walks, and making new animal friends. Pets bring so much joy, and I’m here to make sure they have just as much fun (and comfort!) while you’re gone- as they do when you’re home. I work from home, with a fenced in yard. I often just keep the back door open, unless it's winter... so they can explore and potty as they wish. I think animals do better with company so we really like the social aspect of this app where animals can be together with each other
“A wondering family that took excellent care of my canine. You can expect lots of walks and updates and they even had fresh toys for my dog when I arrived. I will definitely request their services again when I am in town. Thanks so much!”

“Just phenomenal! I can not recommend Kayla enough. She and her whole family are just wonderful and my Riley Girl LOVED staying with them. I would use them again in a heartbeat. Very accommodating and sweet with my girl!”

About: Hi, I’m Bayley! ✨ I’m a pet lover with a 4 year old Lab and two crazy cats of my own. I also foster dogs through a local lab rescue. (I do not take clients in my home while I foster so if I’m away, this is most likely why!) I have a year of experience working at a dog board & train facility and have also spent time volunteering at animal shelters caring for cats, so I’m comfortable with all kinds of personalities! I look forward to meeting your furry family members. ☺️ I offer drop-in visits for both cats and dogs, as well as dog walking. I recently purchased a home and have a fully fenced yard in a quiet neighborhood. I work full time, but I am fully remote. My schedule is pretty flexible, so a quick drop in or walk is no problem! I am home most weekends as well. I will always treat your animal as my own while I care for them. I always have extra leashes, treats, toys, etc. on me so that they never go without. I am happy to provide and do anything for your pets as if they were my own!

About: My house has never had less than 3 animals in it, including a parakeet. I’ve worked on my family farm and cared for animals for over 20 years. I currently work full time from home, so I am available to provide services on weekdays and on the weekends anytime. I can work around my current work schedule very easily from home. I live in a pet friendly, spacious house that provides lots of windows for pets to look out and full of fun yours for toys for any animal. My wife is a fellow animal lover and is helping raise our 2 cats and 1 dog . The cats and dog play well with anyone and everyone, including other cats and dogs.
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life, and that lifelong experience has shaped me into a patient, attentive, and genuinely passionate caregiver. I’m not just a pet sitter—I’m someone who truly understands different personalities, needs, and stages of life. I have hands-on experience with everything from energetic puppies who need consistent training and structure to senior pets who require gentle care, medication routines, and extra comfort. My goal is always to make your pet feel safe, loved, and understood, while giving you complete peace of mind when you’re away. I work a part time job with a pretty consistent schedule while also going to school online. I plan my days to make sure I can give each pet the attention, exercise, and companionship they need—whether that’s early-morning potty breaks, midday check-ins, or consistent evening routines. On a weekly basis, I dedicate time for longer walks, and special care for senior pets. When pets stay in my home, they become part of the family. I create a calm, safe, and structured environment where they can relax and settle in comfortably. I maintain consistent feeding schedules, provide plenty of playtime and walks, and make sure they always have access to fresh water and cozy resting spots. I pay close attention to their routine, preferences, and any special needs—whether that’s extra potty breaks for puppies or a quiet space for senior pets.
About: Hey! As a devoted fur mama myself, I promise to make it my mission to take care of your babies as I do my own. They will leave my care even more spoiled than they already are! 🥰 I would love to answer any and all questions and you are also welcome to see where your babies will be at when coming to my home. I look forward to meeting all those sweet babies! My fiancé and I do both work full time but I’m off on all weekends and he is off on Monday’s. We have plenty of time to fit your babies into our schedule and help out a fellow fur parent! I have plenty of space in our townhouse and a large grass area for them to be walked and play in. I have a medium sized crate if needed as well. Plenty of toys and running space for play time all day. A comfy couch and bed for the babies to take naps and many spaces for feeding time. To keep safe measure.
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life, and grew up volunteering in shelters and working at a kennel. I am completely comfortable around both cats and dogs, and I occasionally foster both through my local shelter while they wait for their forever homes. I’m experienced and certified in basic dog training for puppies. I am able to administer dog CPR and basic first aid in case of emergency. I’d be happy and proud to take care of your pet(s) for you. I am extremely flexible, and able to work with most schedules. I can do set schedules as well as one-time as needed schedules. Willing to work with my clients for whatever fits their needs. I am located very close to two pet friendly parks, and an extremely walkable neighborhood that has ample amounts of sidewalks. I love hanging out high energy animals that need a lot of play time as well as just relaxing on the couch with more low key pets!

I look forward to having a proper place to make a loving dog a home at. When I watch pets in other homes, I like to follow whatever regimen the owner has in place. I have found animals adapt to a new person in their territory when they stick to a routine and are in a familiar place.

About: Hi, my name is Melinda of bark and stroll. I love animals. I have my own animal and I love taking care of animals inside my home or your home. I am retired, and I have plenty of time to take care of the animals. I love playing with them and taking them on nice walks. I have a decent sized yard. It’s not fenced in so I do walk the animals on a leash and we have some woods with paths near my house. If the dogs over 50 pounds I prefer them to be crate trained.
About: I’ve taken care of various dogs, cats, and reptiles my entire life. From a young age I trained, fed, walked, and bathed dogs. I currently have 6 dogs, two turtles, and a bearded dragon. I am extremely familiar and comfortable taking care of elderly dogs/medication management. I also have impaired dog experience- one of my dogs is deaf and blind and an another dog who is fully deaf. I have owned dogs of all kinds and breeds. I have a hybrid nursing job with a lot of flexibility. I also tend to be home and available majority of weekends to dog sit! My day fits around a dogs schedule of getting walks/outdoor time, having enrichment with lick mats or puzzle toys, and having the comfort of someone around nearly 24/7.
“Laura was amazing. She sent multiple pictures every day which helped put my mind at ease. Also, we were ghosted by our sitter the day we were to leave for vacation. My husband got to their door to drop our dog off and no one answered. He waited for 45 minutes to no avail. I sent Laura a message and she called me within minutes. She was very willing to help. She saved our vacation!”


“I can't recommend Danielle highly enough! She stepped in at the last minute to provide specialized care for my cat after an incident just days before vacation. We so relieved knowing my pet was in such capable hands. Being a vet med for over a decade she is incredibly knowledgeable, attentive, and confident handling medical needs. Danielle took the time to ensure my cat, Jelly, was comfortable and well cared for, and they kept me updated throughout. It's not easy to find someone with this level of experience and compassion. I would absolutely trust them with my cat again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a skilled and dependable pet sitter.”
“Our babies, Milo and Quinn, were so well taken care of while we were away!! Garrett and Maria are wonderful and we would highly recommend them! We could tell Milo and Quinnie had a great time - thank you so much!”

“Laura was amazing with our two Pups of Chaos. She dealt expertly with their problem behaviors, and kept us updated on how they were doing. It was hugely comforting to us know that our one very anxious pup was able to be calm with her. Would definitely recommend Laura to anyone looking for a great place for their dogs, and I know we'll be back.”

“Dita was fantastic! She has a nice large backyard for the pups to play in. Our pups got plenty of exercise while they were there! She sent many pictures and updates so I always knew what they were up to! Great experience overall and I would definitely recommend her to anyone!”

“Cole was really great with our dog during his stay! He sent regular check ins and pictures. It really gave me peace of mind knowing he was taking such good care of my dog during his stay! I appreciate how he did my dogs favorite activities with him while I was away and spent a lot of time with him. I will definitely be using Cole for any future boarding!”
