“Marena was our dog savior! We had a last minute trip out of town for the 4th of July weekend and our regular boarder couldn't watch our dog. Thankfully, Marena was willing to help us out. She's so positive and caring, we had no worries about our dog who can be anxious around new people. I HIGHLY recommend Marena. She's not only an awesome dog caretaker, she's an awesome person. Thanks so much!”

“Smith had such a great time with Kris and Baloo! He was treated like part of their family and so well taken care of. He had so much fun playing and relaxing and generally being spoiled, and I got so many great pictures of their time together. I can’t imagine letting him stay with anybody else!”

Thank you Alex for taking such good care of Amani!”

Above all, we knew we could trust Thea to do an amazing job taking care of our kittens while we were gone.

“This was the first time for our Richmond! Lauren is super communicative and just getting pictures of Richmond put us at ease. We could tell he enjoyed himself. So awesome!”
“Shanelle and Ryan are unbelievably amazing with every aspect of dog sitting and communication. Honestly, I am so blown away by their caregiving and professionalism. Five stars isn’t enough!”
“Bronzy absolutely loves Barkwatch and so do I. He has been with them since the beginning. The care they provide for us is that of extended family. I really don’t trust him with anyone else. Not only do they provide great service but accommodating and knowledgeable when I comes to my fur baby.”
“Sally was so great with my pup Marge. I have a really hard time finding people I trust with her, as she is a bit reactive and can be a little mischevious ? Marge was so excited to go back to her house, and Sally kept me informed with updates all throughout the day that brightened my work day. I’d definitely recommend her!”
“Nicole was great! My dog adored her and her dog and excitedly waited by the door in the morning to go to day care while I worked for a few weeks in Manhattan Beach. She was very flexible with timing and accommodating. If I lived nearby I would book with Nicole frequently.”

About: I adopted a hound mix from the shelter who was so afraid of the world and has become the most well-adjusted, friendly boy in the world! I also adopted a stray dog in December who has already grown leaps and bounds! I would love to pet sit/dog walk for you and love taking dogs to their own private sniff spots when they spend numerous days with me :) I am pet-sitting full time, so I have all the time to focus on caring for pets :) I am willing to come to your home anytime of day or pet sit in my home, 7 days a week. I have two friendly dogs at home and can watch your pet at home. Otherwise, I am more than happy to pet sit at your home! Dogs stay on leash unless we are at a fenced sniffspot, as approved by owner :)
“Mary was fantastic and took such good care of Archie! He played HARD with another puppy there and slept like a baby when he got home. He had so much fun! Thank you for watching him!”
“Suzanne is excellent. She took care of our puppy like her own. He was always happy to go and when I picked up. Suzanne made sure all care instructions were followed to the dot. I am glad we could find her. Will always contact her when we need to.”
“Karla is hands-down the best dog sitter I’ve ever experienced. Her love for dogs is immediately clear in everything she does. She has a spacious backyard that gives the dogs plenty of room to run and play, and her home is always clean, well-kept, and welcoming. What I appreciate most is how she allows dogs be themselves while ensuring a safe, well-managed environment. She pays close attention to group dynamics, making sure all the dogs interact well and play safely. I felt completely at ease leaving Bruno in her care, and that peace of mind is priceless. I would book with Karla again and again without hesitation. Highly recommend!”
“Easy and flexible to work with, and my pup had a great stay! Fenced area is not big enough for my greyhound to run but received multiple walks throughout the day instead. Loved all the pics and updates!”

About: I’m a stay at home dog mom myself looking to make some extra money doing something I love! I grew up with golden retrievers and when I moved out at 18, got my first dog Cozy. He is a husky German Shepherd. I have years of experience walking dogs for family friends and know how to properly care for dogs like their family. I am a part time student at Ohio state. My only other obligations are being a wife and taking care of my 16 year step daughter which is flexible! I would care for your pet like their my own, i’m very attentive and I’m open to lots of detailed instruction I would take lots of pictures and just making sure that your best friend is as comfortable as possible.
“Emily has became our regular dog walker. She’s amazing, so friendly and kind! She’s very trustworthy, it almost feels like you have a family member looking after your pet that way she dedicates herself to taking care of our animals.”
About: I’m currently a graduate student at The Ohio State University, and alongside my academic work, caring for dogs has always been a big part of my life. I’ve owned and cared for a variety of dogs of many different breeds and sizes. Growing up and into adulthood, I’ve gained hands-on experience with daily walks, feeding schedules, and playtime. I understand how important it is to maintain your dog’s routine and make them feel comfortable while you’re away. As both a responsible graduate student and a lifelong dog owner, I bring reliability, organization, and genuine care to every visit. My goal is too make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and well cared for, and to give you peace of mind while you’re away! As a graduate student at The Ohio State University, I’m only in class for a portion of the day Monday through Thursday, which gives me consistent flexibility throughout the week. Outside of class, my schedule is structured but open, allowing me to plan pet care visits, walks, and check-ins reliably. Because my academic commitments are predictable, I’m able to maintain a steady routine and dedicate focused time to each dog I care for. Whether it’s midday walks, morning or evening visits, I have availability throughout the week and can provide dependable, attentive care. When caring for pets in other homes, I prioritize keeping their routine as normal and consistent as possible. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, walk times, medications, and any specific preferences your pet may have. My goal is to make them feel safe and comfortable in their own environment.
“Patricia is absolutely wonderful! Always on time. Very patient. Great communicator—even sends photos of our guys with updates about the visits. They just love her! The peace of mind she provides is immeasurable.”
About: I’ve had 2 dogs in 15 years, I love animals and dogs especially! I enjoy walking and taking care of their needs. Please reach out! I’m on break from college till august 25th, but I am still available during the school year, although my availability would look slightly different. Don’t hesitate to reach out! I will work around the dogs needs depending on their size and the surrounding environment. I can communicate with the owner so that I can effectively care for their dog.

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by animals, from guinea pigs to large dogs. I am an animal lover and have experience from young puppies to senior kitties. I am a grad student and have flexibility during my week to check on your animals! I am also flexible by location, since I can work from home I have a lot of hands on experience with animals and follow instructions very well! I have a lot of experience dog and cat sitting and can be attuned to your pet’s individual needs
