Highly-rated overnight sitters - Ash
“Bill, Mary and Ashley were responsive, kind, and took great care of our puppy! We were a bit nervous initially as it was our first time leaving him overnight, but we had peace of mind once we met them and saw the great setup. We loved getting happy update photos of him playing and cuddling throughout the trip.”
“Joe is amazing! He was very good at checking in, sending pictures and updates with my guy. It seems that Joe’s house is the spot to be for the little fur babies; Zeus came home, greeted the kids and I and went right to sleep from exhaustion. You could tell he had been doing a lot of playing and running around while he was there. He had a lot of fun and I’m sure he’s looking forward to his next visit with Joe and his buddies.”
“Deanna was patient with our 7 months puppy who needed extra love and attention! She kept us updated with pictures and images. Our puppy even bonded with her pack! They came home happy and well.”
“Lauren took great care of Zuri! She has a great space for dogs, handled medications/other needs well, was flexible with a last-minute booking, and sent frequent updates and pictures. We will definitely be back in the future!”
“Elizabeth and her family were wonderful. She kept us updated on our Fur baby which was very helpful. It was our first time being away from home, so we were a little anxious about the process. She made it very easy for us and we will definitely use her services again! In fact I'm pretty sure that Fur baby wants a playdate!”
“Sally is great! My three year-old pup got walks each day and Sally sent updates with pictures during his two-day stay. When I picked him up, I could tell he loved being there and really liked Sally. He had such a good time and was so exhausted that he was out like a light when we got home. I highly recommend Sally as a sitter.”
“Ashliegh is wonderful and Sloopy didn't want to come home with us! We received photos and updates during our trip and could tell that Sloopy was having a ball. She will be back!”
“Samson had a great time with Will and Bibiana! We received pictures when we were away and updates. We are looking forward to work with Will and Bibiana again.”
“I had a really excellent experience with Cristi and would recommend her services to anyone. I would definitely recommend her and will plan on utilizing her care again in the very near future!”
“Emily was a great caretaker for our dog, Devon. She made sure Devon was comfortable and took her on walks. We did not have to worry about Devon while we were away on vacation because Emily sent lots of pictures and updates. We would definitely recommend her services and would use her again.”
“Tina was a wonderful sitter with my senior dogs. She kept me posted throughout the trip by sending pictures and text. It was so nice to be able to relax on our trip knowing our dogs were in good hands. Definitely will use Tina again.”
“Karen was great with our 7 month old high maintenance Frenchie! She was even able to give her medications that were started right before we left on vacation! Moira had so much fun and was super worn out when we picked her up. Karen sent pictures and even a few videos. We will definitely be using her again in the future so watch our fur baby!”
“Abigail was available for an extended week over the holiday with lots of sweet update pictures along the way. Our dogs got along well and to top it off she returned all my dog’s bedding washed and fresh!”
“Leslie is a very caring pet sitter (and person). Her love of dogs is evident and a great attribute for a pet sitter. This was our first time staying with Leslie and we have already booked another stay. I feel fortunate to have found Leslie and feel very comfortable leaving my dog in her care.”

Cat caregivers near you - Ash
“Elizabeth was amazing! She met with us earlier in the week to get to know us and meet the cats, which helped a lot to show her where everything was. During the booking time she came over and gave us updates with pictures. We loved her and her updates. I would book her again.”
“We had a wonderful experience working with Jessica! Jessica took care of our two kittens for about a week while we were on vacation. She was SUPER responsive, quick to reply, and gave us regular updates. It was such a relief knowing our cats were well taken care of while we were away! Our cats were happy and well cared for when we returned. We absolutely would recommend her, and will definitely be booking again in the future!”
About: I have had dogs my whole life. I currently own a 7 year old shepherd lab mix and a rescue Yorkie mix (age unknown but at least 5 years old). I grew up with dogs and have experience with many breeds and many mixed breeds. I have experience with oral medications and special needs as well. I live on a small hobby farm and own a horse, 2 mischevious goats, a couple kitties and some chickens along with my 2 rescue dogs. I grew up on a farm and have taken care of many farm animals as well as house pets. I am currently working from home and would love an opportunity to meet and help others with their pets while they are away from home.
“Great as always! Cats were happy and content when I got home - in fact, they ignored me. BTW, you did not have to take my garbage out to the curb for pickup — but i do appreciate it!”
“Shelby does a great job with our dog! She has come multiple times and always does a great job with him and communicates with us about him. Our dog has anxiety and Shelby does amazing with calming him and comforting him when we are gone.”
“Faith was great! She pilled and gave other medication to our cat 4 days in a row and did a great job with her. By the end we could tell from our daily pictures that our cat was at ease with Faith. She was prompt and kept the litter box and food attended to as well.”
About: I absolutely love animals! I grew up in a home full of dogs and cats, and helping care for them was such a big part of my life growing up. I now have a cat of my own, my fur baby, Fish 🐱 I recently graduated from PA school and won’t be starting my job until August, which means I have lots of availability this summer! Spending my days with animals honestly sounds like the perfect way to spend the season. I’d love the opportunity to care for and spend time with your pets! (: I don’t start work until August, so I have a pretty open schedule and lots of availability! I do have one week-long vacation planned this summer, but aside from that, my schedule is very flexible. I’d prefer to handle most pet care during the week, but I’m available on weekends as well! 😊 It’s a single-story home, so I’m always nearby and able to keep a close eye on any pets in the house. We also have a fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor time and play!
“Rachel is great! She was so easy to work with and even arranged a meet and greet before her first visit. Couldn’t recommend more and really eased my nerves when I had to leave my fur baby for the first time!”
“My cat loved having Savannah come over every day. This is the happiest my cat has been after I took a long trip. She also helped me out by bringing in some packages that arrived while I was gone. I would be happy to use Savannah's services again in the future.”
“Finding Bethani was like an early Christmas! She was absolutely wonderful - professional, kind, so personable, communicative, and our Bean Kitty adored her and the visits! This was our first Rover experience and we are incredibly grateful.”
About: Hello! I’m an animal lover through and through. I share my life with fish, dogs, cats, and a horse, so caring for animals is part of my everyday routine. I worked as an equine veterinary technician for 3 years and have 10+ years of experience in animal care. I know every pet is unique, and I take the time to learn their personality, preferences, and needs to make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Whether that’s an energetic walk, a game of fetch, or extra snuggles on the couch, I’ll treat your pets like they’re part of my own family. I am currently working part time in the mornings as I work a regular job from 3pm - 11pm. I am looking for add some more love and cuddles to my week finding lasting pet and people friendships. I am currently not offering boarding at my home. I am able to care for your pets as you wish at your home within my allotted time before my evening job.
About: We have two cats at home currently, Marvin and Archie. Archie requires medication administration often and so I have become an expert on the perfect cat burrito lol. I can help with meds if needed and am very willing to clean litter boxes too!
About: I am passionate and dedicated to pet care, safety, and love. I am incredibly protective of the treatment and care of all animals. I vow to protect your furbabies and give them the exercise they deserve. I have had pets my whole life and have dog-sat and dog-walked for many years. I am not currently working, so I am free most of the time to take care of your fur babies. The best time for me is during a typical day. I will ensure all the rules and regulations are kept inside your home. I will also ensure that your fur baby is safe in your home and outside your home.
About: I am a total sucker for cats. I have two of my own that I rescued 10 years ago and they unequivocally shape the way I live my life. Cats are expressive, devoted, loving, intelligent and VERY ornery. Basically the world’s best predator clothed in fluffy cuteness.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Ash
“Bill and Mary are a great team that took care of our pup and showed him lots of love. We appreciated a "meet and greet" with their dogs and ours to ensure they got along okay. Our pup was able to play very well with their three dogs. From the way he came home tired, he had an awesome time playing with Bill, Mary and the other dogs.”
“Rommel can be pretty shy around new folks so I am always nervous about introducing him to new people. He also isn’t a very affectionate dog (he only likes being petted when he first wakes up, then he has has enough and doesn’t really want that). When I went to pick him up he was loving all over them. I haven’t seen him warm up to anyone as quickly and as completely as he did here. What a wonderful experience!”
“Jodi was great, very pleasant t, her husband as well. She treated my cuddle bug Jax like he was part of her family. Jax is very comfortable with her and always happy to see her and runs right to her. That feels so great to see as a pet parent. I was able to reach out to her whenever i needed to know how my baby pooch was doing and she sent videos. Jax just is very happy when he is there. I would definitely recommend Jodi and would definitely have her care for my baby again.”
About: Hi there! I’m Awia, and I’ve had around 25 years of experience caring for animals. I’ve shared my life with many wonderful dogs and cats, and I currently have a sweet Pekingese named Peking along with two cats, Lolli and Ashley. They’re all friendly, gentle, and used to having new furry friends around. I’ve also volunteered walking dogs at various animal shelters over the years—animals have always been a huge part of my life. I also have six wonderful children who absolutely adore animals. They’re gentle, respectful, and regularly nominated for Kindness Awards at their school. Your pet will receive extra love, attention, and cuddle sessions from them—helping your furry family member feel right at home. I’m currently working on my nonprofit organization, and during my downtime I’ve chosen to walk dogs and care for animals. It’s such a fun and rewarding way to spend the day—you get to hang out with adorable pups, enjoy some exercise, and soak up the sunshine. I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment for your pets. While I don’t have a fenced-in yard, I’m fortunate to live within a beautiful nature preserve and park system. This means your pup can enjoy walks along scenic, well-maintained paths with plenty of fresh air and minimal street traffic. If boarding, I’ll make sure your dog gets regular, safe walks and plenty of attention, ensuring they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for. All of my personal pets—Peking, Lolli, and Ashley—are up to date on vaccinations, and are on flea and heartworm prevention medication. For the safety and comfort of all animals, I kindly ask that visiting pets are also clean and flea-free. If a pet arrives needing a bath, I’m happy to provide one, and a pet bath fee will be added to your booking. This ensures a fresh, healthy, and pleasant environment for everyone.
“Alyssa was very responsive, sent lots of pictures/updates and Tucker is nice and tired after a full day of playing! Thank you for taking great care of our little guy!”
About: I am a dedicated dog enthusiast with more than 13 years of hands-on experience caring for and raising dogs through every stage of life, from puppyhood to senior care. While my greatest experience has been with Great Danes, I have also spent years raising and caring for Pit Bull Terriers, developing a strong understanding of the unique needs, personalities, and characteristics of both breeds. My experience includes puppy development and socialization, basic obedience training, nutrition and wellness management, daily exercise routines, preventative care, and supporting dogs through adulthood and their senior years. I have cared for aging dogs with mobility challenges, administered medications when needed, and provided the patience, comfort, and attention necessary to maintain their quality of life as they age. Living and working with Great Danes has given me extensive knowledge of giant-breed care, while my experience with Pit Bull Terriers has strengthened my appreciation for intelligent, loyal, and energetic companions. Beyond these breeds, I have a genuine love for dogs of all kinds and enjoy learning about the unique traits and needs that make every breed special. Choosing me to care for your dog also offers the unique benefit of two welcoming locations. In Lancaster, Ohio, dogs enjoy a comfortable, home-based environment where they can relax and receive personalized attention as part of the family. In Pataskala, Ohio, dogs have access to 15 acres of open space for supervised exploration, exercise, and enrichment. While the property is unfenced, all outdoor activities are closely monitored to ensure safety. During their stay in Pataskala, dogs can relax alongside me in a cozy, home-like camper, providing a comfortable and secure environment that helps them feel at ease while away from home. My approach to canine care is rooted in compassion, consistency, and respect for each dog's individual personality. Whether caring for a playful puppy, an active adult, or a beloved senior, I am committed to providing a safe, loving, and enriching environment where dogs can thrive and feel like valued members of the family. Your dog's comfort, happiness, and well-being are always my top priorities. ABOUT ME I'm a stay-at-home mom and lifelong dog lover with over 13 years of experience caring for dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to senior companions. Because I am home full-time, your dog will receive plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day and night. Whether your dog enjoys playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having someone nearby, they'll never feel like they're being left alone for long periods. I have three children who have grown up around large-breed dogs their entire lives, including Great Danes and Pit Bull Terriers. They understand how to interact respectfully with dogs, are well-mannered around dogs they don't know, and have learned the importance of giving each dog the space and attention they need to feel comfortable and secure. One of the unique benefits of choosing me is the flexibility of two care locations, allowing you to select the environment that best suits your dog's personality and needs: 📍 Lancaster, Ohio – A traditional home setting where your dog can enjoy a comfortable family environment, regular routines, and plenty of one-on-one attention. 📍 Pataskala, Ohio – A peaceful rural property with 15 acres of open land for supervised exploration, exercise, and enrichment. While the property is unfenced, all outdoor time is carefully supervised. Dogs stay with me in a cozy camper that serves as a comfortable, home-like space during their visit. Whether your dog prefers the familiarity of a traditional home environment or the adventure of wide-open spaces, the choice is yours. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free experience where your dog is treated like a member of the family from the moment they arrive until it's time to go home. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! 🐾💕 When your dog stays with me, they'll be treated like part of the family. As a stay-at-home mom, I am available throughout the day to provide supervision, companionship, exercise, potty breaks, feeding, and plenty of affection. Your dog won't be left alone for long stretches, allowing me to maintain their routine and give them the attention they deserve. With more than 13 years of experience raising and caring for Great Danes and Pit Bull Terriers from puppyhood through their senior years, I understand that every dog has unique needs. Whether your dog is an energetic puppy, an active adult, or a senior who requires extra patience and care, I am committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved during their stay. I strive to keep your dog's routine as consistent as possible by following feeding schedules, exercise preferences, medication instructions, and any special requests you provide. I understand how important it is for dogs to feel secure when away from home, and I work hard to create a calm, positive environment where they can relax and thrive. I offer two care settings, allowing you to choose the environment that best fits your dog's personality: Lancaster, Ohio – A traditional home environment ideal for dogs who enjoy a familiar family atmosphere, indoor comfort, and plenty of companionship. Pataskala, Ohio – A peaceful property with 15 acres of open space for supervised walks, exploration, and enrichment. While the land is unfenced, all outdoor activities are closely monitored. Dogs stay with me in a comfortable, home-like camper, ensuring they always have a safe and cozy place to rest. My three children have been raised around large-breed dogs their entire lives and understand how to respectfully interact with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. They help create a warm, family-oriented environment while respecting each dog's individual comfort level and boundaries. Most importantly, I believe every dog deserves individualized care. Whether your dog loves to play, explore, cuddle, or simply relax, I take the time to learn their personality and preferences so they can enjoy a stress-free stay while you're away. My goal is for you to have peace of mind knowing your dog is safe, happy, and receiving the same level of care and attention I would give my own.
“Fantastic experience, very communicative and flexible, sent great pictures of my dog and even a video of her having a great time! Safe neighborhood and clean home, with a fun backyard for the dogs to play in. Cannot recommend them highly enough!”
“Fran’s ears go up followed by a cute little head tilt whenever I mention that it’s “time to go see Mrs. Laken” 😀 I can tell she really loves her days there and getting to hangout with Remy and Mouse, other pet friends and of course Bostynn ☺️ because she starts to get so excited as soon as we turn onto the street. I appreciate all of the cuddles and love my girl receives. Thank you from me and Nanny Fran.”
About: Growing up I have always cared for our family pets. Today I have 3 rescue dogs of my own. My pups are apart of my family. I volunteer to transport dogs to a safe homes. Animals of any type depend on their humans to care for them. When their humans can’t be there for some reason they still need that special care and attention. I have always struggled when leaving my dogs to go away. What do I do with them? Who will care for them like I do? I would like to help people to be at ease knowing your pet will be well taken care of in my hands because I understand what it is like to have that worry. I will care for your pet as though they are mine.
“This was an outstanding experience and we will gladly trust our dog (Miss Maya) with Jennifer and family in the future. We booked last minute but she was quick to respond and accommodate us. Throughout her stay, we received frequent updates — a lot of pictures and videos. Jennifer watched Miss Maya for us two days in a row while work on the house was being done. In the car ride out on the second day, Miss Maya was anxious (we’d bounced around to different locations for over a week). Once we got to Jennifer’s home, however, she immediately relaxed. She trotted up to the door, tail wagging, and was clearly pleased to be back for another day. Jennifer’s children were so gentle and kind with Miss Maya. I can’t say enough good things about her. Thank you for taking such good care of Miss Maya!”
“Samantha was amazing! She took our pup in for doggy daycare last minute, was so kind and caring, and took fantastic care of our pup! She sent me updates throughout the day with pictures and was so flexible and accommodating to meet our pup’s needs and provide him with the best experience. He loved running and playing with her dogs and came home so happy! Would 100% recommend her and will definitely be using her daycare services again!”
About: I grew up with dogs my entire life, helping my parents to take care of ours as a young teen. I adopted Charlie, my hound mix, and spent 12 incredible years with her. Hi! I am currently working from home, full time, and will be able to provide your dog with the best in home care, including lots of daytime walks! I am close to a park and am able to take your dog on long walks as well. I live a sweet community in Blacklick with lots of space for walks and play. I am close to an amazing park, great for long walks with the pups. I work from home and am able to love on your dog, all day long!
“Extremely reliable & so attentive to the needs of my dog and accommodating our busy life!! I’m endlessly grateful for her and her adorable daughter. They’re our number one go to for dog care in Ohio!!”
About: I love animals! What else is there to say? All sizes, shapes, temperaments......I used to work at the Humane Society, have fostered dogs and cats and had many animals growing up - fish, hamsters, rabbits, cats and dogs... I have some training in animal intuition and energy healing and I love giving Love...I live alone and am looking at getting a dog in the future but I travel a lot. Also I live in an apt and I can take most any pets except ones who bark at all as I have neighbors on both sides and dogs I. A new environment tend to bark at the strange new things often, so if they bark at all, unfortunately I cannot take them. Looking forward to meeting your baby! My apt is pretty small (400sq ft on the first floor) but any animal guest is welcome to stay wherever they want to hang out - couch or comfy carpeted upstairs floor and since I’m 6’ ft tall - Great Danes welcome! Please let me know any needs and/or special requests....so you can bet I've heard them all! I work from home so my availability is very flexible. He/she can work along side me and I take many breaks to pet and cuddle! I am only available for walks and drop-in visits Wednesday and Sunday afternoon/evenings and Friday evenings. I have a small yard that opens to woods in the back. Sometime I work outside so can stay with him/her while they are chilling outside. I can also crate them when at home or away, whatever is needed and they are used to.
“Ashleigh and family took care of our 12 week old Cairn Terrier puppy while we took a day trip to visit family out of town. She seemed instantly at ease with him, her daughters were obviously very good with dogs and we had little doubt our pup would enjoy his "camp" experience. He did and even made friends with their pug. We had been looking for a sitter during the week and gladly would go with Ashleigh if it was easier on the commute. Zero concerns and I highly recommend trying them out.”

About: I love my dog and 3 cats, but have room in my heart to love many more! Your pets will be healthy and safe in my care. Whether throwing a ball, playing with toys or just snuggling together, your pet will be loved! I work from home with a flexible schedule that can fit most needs. I live on the east side of Columbus and I can easily travel locally. I have a proven track record of being reliable and conscientious. I realize I am a guest in your home and respect your home and property. I will always lock up when I leave and ensure pets are safely inside.
“Elizabeth is a wonderful pet sitter...the other day storms came in suddenly and she provided his medication in a correct timely caring way. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER to be trusted in all situations with your fur babies.”
About: I had dogs growing up as a child and have taken care of them on and off throughout my whole life, but some specific examples of pet care include: taking care of my Grandparents 2 dogs when they no longer could, taking care of my best friends dogs (and many cats) when she goes on vacation, & of course taking care of my 2 cats that I am currently a mom of (I have had cats throughout my whole adult life). I understand the importance of allowing animals to get comfortable with you and come to you on their own terms and not trying to force them to let you pet them or play with them. I am comfortable taking the time to slowly encourage an animal to be comfortable in my presence. I am currently working part-time while I finish my degree, so I am available fairly often to help take care of your beloved animals. I am extremely reliable and I am often available for last minute situations and happy to help. I have experience and am comfortable with dog walking, picking up waste, and crating dogs when needed. I am willing to assist with cleaning litter boxes as needed and am willing to take time to play with and give your animals attention and love while you are away from the home.
“Rachel was great with Grace! Provided us with updates on how the walks went, whether or not she was eating while we were gone, and her overall mood. The pics of Grace she included in the card were great, too! Thank a ton!”

About: What sets me apart from other dog sitters is the genuine love and lifelong experience I have with animals. I’ve cared for dogs my entire life, and to me, pets are family. My own dogs are truly like my children, and I treat every animal in my care with the same patience, attention, and affection I give my own. Growing up, we always had dogs in our home, and having animals as part of the family was something I always wanted to continue in my own life. Because of that, I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy, dependable, and caring when leaving your pet with someone else. I strive to create a safe, loving, and comfortable environment where pets feel at home and cared for while their owners are away. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I’m currently home during the day, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, supervision, and care throughout the day. We have a fenced-in yard and a doggie door, so dogs are able to safely go outside whenever they need to, making it easy for them to stay active and comfortable on their own schedule. Our dogs are truly part of our family, so caring for animals is already built into our everyday life. They have their own routines and habits, especially at bedtime. Every night when we take our son upstairs for bed, our dogs follow right along. One of them is usually waiting by the stairs looking at us like, “Come on, it’s bedtime!” It’s those little moments that show how loved and comfortable they are in our home, and I want every dog staying with us to feel that same sense of comfort and belonging. When pets are in my home, they will be treated like part of the family—just like my own dogs. My priority is always making sure they are safe, comfortable, well cared for, and getting plenty of love and attention while their owners are away. I want pets to feel relaxed and at home in our environment. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I understand the importance of being respectful of both their home and their pet’s routine. I will follow any instructions carefully to help pets stay comfortable in a familiar environment while also maintaining the same level of care, attention, and safety. No matter where I am caring for a pet, I believe trust is the most important thing. Animals need to feel safe with the person caring for them, and I always strive to create a calm, loving, and trustworthy environment for every pet I look after.

About: I have been taking care of animals (mostly dogs) for many years. I have taken a 4 year vet program and am a certified veterinary assistant! I know basic first aid for cats and dogs. I pride myself on being a loving, reliable, and safe person for your fur babies! I am currently working a part time job but before and after my job I can happily walk and play with your animals. Wednesday’s and Saturdays I do not work so I can walk more, play more, or stay for longer periods of time/check up more frequently. I am happy to help your pets by feeding, walking, and playing with them. I can also kennel them if needed/asked. I do not feel comfortable with reactive/aggressive animals.
About: Growing up on a 5-acre farm, I've raised all types of animals from cats to dogs or even pigs and horses. I have experience with shepherd dogs, pugs and bulldogs, st. Bernards and rottweilers, elderly pets, puppies and kittens, nursing and pregnant mamas, and so on! I also have taken care of horses, dogs, cats, and ferrets when house-sitting. My schedule is super clear these days! I am a part time lifeguard, soon to transition to coaching high school soccer, so Im usually free for most of the day every day. When I am taking care of your pet in your home, I will prioritize your family’s specific needs and respect any rules you have in place.
About: I absolutely love animals! I grew up in a home full of dogs and cats, and helping care for them was such a big part of my life growing up. I now have a cat of my own, my fur baby, Fish 🐱 I recently graduated from PA school and won’t be starting my job until August, which means I have lots of availability this summer! Spending my days with animals honestly sounds like the perfect way to spend the season. I’d love the opportunity to care for and spend time with your pets!

About: I currently have an 13year old English Bulldog, Roxy! She has always been pretty easy to please, make sure her food and water are full and her bed is available 😃 I have 4grandpups that live in Cincinnati.

About: i’ve owned dogs my whole life, i can help with any age of dog along with any breed, i’m not scared of the size or weight of an animal. booking with me is the best way to go ! i do have a job in the mornings but after 1pm i’m available for all animals ! i will be able to give my undivided attention to your pet! i always make sure your animals are safe, if that means putting my own dogs up so your dog can feel comfortable then i’ll do that!
About: I bring a fun, bubbly personality to every visit—but what truly sets me apart is the way I understand animal behavior. As a psychology major, I’ve trained my own dogs using positive reinforcement and classical conditioning (Pavlov’s principles), focusing on consistency, trust, and communication rather than punishment. Because of this approach, my dogs were well-mannered, confident, and happy: they never chewed household items, had house accidents, or developed anxiety-based behaviors. I believe great pet care is about more than supervision—it’s about guiding behavior with patience, encouragement, and love! I work a couple hours during the day and take care of my two kids (3 and 6) at the house. I often have online classes so there’s always something to do for me at home! My kids miss having our dog, Big Boy, around to pet and snuggle. He was 16 when he passed away.😥 We have a lot of love to give and miss having a dog! I am a non-smoker with a clean house. I have white carpet😂 but have a handy carpet cleaner in case your pet has an accident😜 I also have multiple dog leashes and couplers so can walk three dogs at a time. I have carpeted stairs- which is easier for older pups. I do have large crates if your pup needs to be crated (unless they are potty trained -then that would not be necessary). Dogs are allowed on my couches. I have lots of cozy blankets! It’s a quiet end of street neighborhood. Dogs are all “puppies” to me and I love them!
About: I have been helping care for my beagle, Chance, for 9 years. I have taken care of dogs while babysitting. I know how to prepare food, control a tugger of a dog on walks, and give pets the love they deserve. My own beagle is somewhat disabled with full use in only 3 legs. My experience is in dogs, but I also love kitties. I am available to for work Wednesdays, Fridays, and weekends all day. Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday I have an internship until 3pm. Thursdays are available from 4pm-midnight. Monday and Tuesday are available from 4pm-6pm. All care will be done within clients house, with the exceptions of walks or dog parks. I am also available to drive your fur babies if necessary. I will always check the water dish and feed on time.
“Kyla has been wonderful to work with! Our energetic pup has lots of rules after training and Kyla was very open to learning our expectations for him. She already has been perpetuating his training. She has our dog walking right next to her like he does with us. Highly recommend!”
“Kennedy was great! She was very easy to communicate with and our dog loved her! She was very prompt and reliable. I wish she was staying in Athens after graduation!”

“Bill, Mary and Ashley were responsive, kind, and took great care of our puppy! We were a bit nervous initially as it was our first time leaving him overnight, but we had peace of mind once we met them and saw the great setup. We loved getting happy update photos of him playing and cuddling throughout the trip.”
“Joe is amazing! He was very good at checking in, sending pictures and updates with my guy. It seems that Joe’s house is the spot to be for the little fur babies; Zeus came home, greeted the kids and I and went right to sleep from exhaustion. You could tell he had been doing a lot of playing and running around while he was there. He had a lot of fun and I’m sure he’s looking forward to his next visit with Joe and his buddies.”
“Lauren took great care of Zuri! She has a great space for dogs, handled medications/other needs well, was flexible with a last-minute booking, and sent frequent updates and pictures. We will definitely be back in the future!”
“Elizabeth and her family were wonderful. She kept us updated on our Fur baby which was very helpful. It was our first time being away from home, so we were a little anxious about the process. She made it very easy for us and we will definitely use her services again! In fact I'm pretty sure that Fur baby wants a playdate!”
“Sally is great! My three year-old pup got walks each day and Sally sent updates with pictures during his two-day stay. When I picked him up, I could tell he loved being there and really liked Sally. He had such a good time and was so exhausted that he was out like a light when we got home. I highly recommend Sally as a sitter.”
“Ashliegh is wonderful and Sloopy didn't want to come home with us! We received photos and updates during our trip and could tell that Sloopy was having a ball. She will be back!”
“Samson had a great time with Will and Bibiana! We received pictures when we were away and updates. We are looking forward to work with Will and Bibiana again.”
“Emily was a great caretaker for our dog, Devon. She made sure Devon was comfortable and took her on walks. We did not have to worry about Devon while we were away on vacation because Emily sent lots of pictures and updates. We would definitely recommend her services and would use her again.”
“Karen was great with our 7 month old high maintenance Frenchie! She was even able to give her medications that were started right before we left on vacation! Moira had so much fun and was super worn out when we picked her up. Karen sent pictures and even a few videos. We will definitely be using her again in the future so watch our fur baby!”
“Abigail was available for an extended week over the holiday with lots of sweet update pictures along the way. Our dogs got along well and to top it off she returned all my dog’s bedding washed and fresh!”
“Leslie is a very caring pet sitter (and person). Her love of dogs is evident and a great attribute for a pet sitter. This was our first time staying with Leslie and we have already booked another stay. I feel fortunate to have found Leslie and feel very comfortable leaving my dog in her care.”
“Mary was an excellent host. Her two dogs Ellie and Fufu were so welcoming and Laika meshed in with ease. Cannot recommend more highly and I looked forward to booking again and again.”
“Samantha responded promptly to questions and updated often on how our boy, Tate, was doing . Tate had so much fun, I was worried he may not want to come home 😆 Highly recommend Samantha!”
“I could not have asked for a better dog sitting experience. I have an older dog and I was very selective about who I left him with on my first vacation away from him. Ellen sent me regular updates and pictures so I could see how he was doing. Her communication was excellent. She accommodated my drop off and pick up times. When she had a request to keep another dog for a couple of days in the middle of my dog’s stay, she contacted me to ask if that would be alright. It seems my dog was very comfortable with her at her place, and I am very grateful for that.”
“We left our fur babies with Jamie for a week. We got pictures and updates multiple times a day. I’m pretty sure my boys didn’t want to come home because they were having so much fun!! I would highly recommend using Jamie to care for your animals. I felt reassured everyday that my dogs were having fun and being loved on.”
“Amy was able to sit for my dog Ivy for four days on very short notice. She was very accommodating and really want the extra mile to work with me on schedule. She has a lovely home with a nice fenced backyard for your pup. Her fur baby Roxy is such a sweetheart and immediately was friendly with my 100 pound dog. Amy was amazing at sending me updates and pictures during Ivy’s stay. I would 100% use her again in the future!”
“Alexandria was really wonderful with my dog Henry! She was great at communicating both before and during my dog's stay. Henry seemed to have a great time and got along well with her sweet dogs!”
