Personalized care for your dog or cat - Milo Grogan
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Milo Grogan
“Lauren looked after my baby while I was out of town, I was nervous because it was his first time spending the night away from me, but it’s safe to say that he had the time of his life! He was able to socialize with other dogs which was definitely a plus for me, she was also super sweet and professional. So happy to have found her ❤️”
“Stockton had such a great time with Maolin, and he has major separation issues. She made him feel comfortable instantly and took him on a lot of awesome adventures! Would definitely book again!”
“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!”
“Wonder with our needy and at times difficult dogs. This was our first big trip leaving our 2 dogs with someone other then close friends and we were very pleased with how they were cared for.”
“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.”
“Dawn and Spike are wonderful! Dawn's place is super cute and you can tell that she really loves dogs. I'll definitely use her again the next time I'm in Columbus!”
“Lauren is absolutely wonderful! Her kind and caring nature shows through in the way she cares for our pups. Lauren is very detailed oriented, giving a report on how our pups got along with her dog and each other, what they ate, if they rested. We feel very blessed to have Lauren to help us care for our fur family.”
“Sally you are the best with care of my pups! They are eager to enter your home, and clearly enjoyed your company and social time! They come back tired, loving your yard and in great health. Thank you so much! JO”
“Angie was wonderful with our one year old mini bernedoodle Reggie. This was only the second time he stayed in someone’s house and the first time with Angie ! She’s a happy, very positive person and gave Reggie lots of TLC while we were away. She also had to administer pills to him and she wasn’t bothered by that at all. We plan to use her services again in January 2026.”
“Megan was fantastic with our doodle, Luna. She was attentive, kept us updated with photos and videos throughout the stay, and made sure Luna was happy and comfortable. We could tell Luna enjoyed her time with her. Highly recommend Megan!”
“Karl is AMAZING! He watched our girls over our wedding weekend and it was so nice not to have to worry about them one bit. He sent pictures and updates through the weekend and somehow got our pullers to walk nicely on a leash. They came back tired from a weekend full of fun! Karl went above and beyond to support us and take care of our girlies and we will definitely be using his services again!”
“Will and Bibiana did an awesome job taken care of Maisie for us for a week. We got regular photos of her which made us feel at ease that she was having a great time. When meeting them, they ask great questions and covered everything. We will definitely use them again.”
“My dog Bella has been cared for by Andrew twice now, and both times she’s been absolutely happy and well taken care of. The second time we went my dog got excited as we pulled up to the house, remembering what a good time she had during her last visit. Highly recommended!”
“Rayann was great watching our dog for a week. This is the first time someone other than family has watched our dog and I was nervous about using a service like this and having to choose someone I didn’t know. Rayann was so warm and helpful from the beginning. She was really helpful and flexible on drop off and pickup times due to my schedule and flight changes. She sent multiple updates with pictures throughout the week letting me know how my dog was doing. My dog seemed very happy and well taken care of. I would recommend Rayann and will book with her in the future.”
“Incredibly thoughtful and personal communicators. Most of all, our dog loves being with Michelle, Nicholas, and their dog Waffles. We feel extremely comfortable.”
“Lily was so happy when she came home. You could tell she had a good time. Emily took great care of her during a tornado warning. I'm very thankful for her. The pictures she sent were great!”
“Katie (and Ruth!) are amazing! Our shy girl had never been boarded before, and we hit the lottery with finding Katie. She was patient with letting Parsley get to know her, and didn't try to force anything. Parsley and Ruth started playing and chasing each other right away - it was awesome to see our usually shy and anxious girl come out of her shell so quickly. We were updated frequently with plenty of pictures. We could tell that Parsley was having an absolute blast - which was confirmed when I went to pick her up and she didn't want to leave. We will absolutely be booking with Katie again.”
“Great communication and provided regular updates. Oreo seemed very happy & relaxed upon pickup after the stay. Would definitely book with Amber again in the future.”

“We greatly appreciate you, Leann! The notes and pictures you took were cute to see when we were out of town and you have fully won over our grumpy little cat fella! Thank you so, so much and hope you will work with us again in the future!”
“Taylor took wonderful care of our two cats! Our one cat is skittish with new people, but she warmed up to Taylor immediately. I highly recommend her and will book with her next time we need someone to take care of our cats!”
“Sasquatch LOVES Thea!! Thea is constantly looking for anything she can to do help me out and make Sasquatch’s visit more fun. I travel a lot for work, and Thea makes it such a breeze. We would be lost without her!”
“Iona was a lifesaver stepping up when our initial river got sick and couldn’t complete our booking. She communicated clearly and took great care of our cats and our house while we were out of town. We will definitely book with her again!”
“Such an amazing person and outstanding job taking care of my cat. My cat is senior with a rare medical condition and Heather did such an amazing job caring for her and making sure she got not only her meds but amazing love and pets.”
“Sadie was a great sitter for our kitties! She has attention to detail in taking care of the cats, very attentive to our instructions. She played with the kitties a lot and gave them lots of cuddles. She gave us lots of pictures and a thorough summary every day.”
“I am really sad that I can only give Chase five stars. She was wonderful. Polite, prompt and very reliable. She treated my dog, Cooper, like he was her own. I loved receiving updates while I was gone knowing he was getting the attention, care and love he deserves. Chase was quick to ask questions and responds to text and email in a very timely fashion. If you hadn't booked with Chase yet - you need to!”
“Elizabeth is wonderful! She went far and beyond when my cat Tigger was sick. She took excellent care of him. Even water my plants while I was on vacation. Highly recommend her for cat or house sitter.”
“Vanessa did a great job taking care of my 4 cats while I was away. With two of them needing medicine, it was a lot! Everything was fine when I got home.”
“I’ve booked Jovonna a couple times now and she’s does an amazing job every time. My cats love her and are happy babies when I get home. Jovonna sends lots of updates and pictures while siting. Making it easy to enjoy my time away from my babies while knowing they’re being taken care of.”
“Great experience booking with Abby! She came to meet my cats ahead of time and sent lots of pictures during her visits. Will definitely be booking with her again, highly recommend!”
“With having a skittish cat, Kelly goes above and beyond to make my kitty feel comfortable. Luna does not run and hide and actually hangs out- indicating Kelly’s patience and devotion to making pets feel safe and comfortable. I will always try to book Kelly and suggest you all do the same!”
“Maggie took wonderful care of my girl Samantha. She spend a lot of extra time with her and gave her lots of cuddles ! Also took time to go above and beyond and clean the litter box. Would highly recommend her to care for any of your furry loved ones !”
“I can't reccomend Taylor enough! She took such good care of my cats and lizard while we were on vacation for a week. We have a very shy and standoffish cat and it was clear to me that Taylor made them all feel so safe and comfortable based on how willing the cats were to let her snap pics of them every day - shes a great photographer too! Great communication, punctual, flexible (thank you again for feeding and keeping an eye on our bearded dragon!), and just all around a wonderful sitter who we will absolutely be booking with again. I would trust her in my home and with my pets any day. Thank you Taylor!”
“Allie is so helpful with our kitties! She always does a great job with updating us. We feel so confident having her to our house for check ins! Thank you, Allie!”
“Danielle was great - I felt confident my cats were in good care. Danielle is really easy going and goes above and beyond. We also had to make last minute changes to our schedule and Danielle helped with that!”
“Elizabeth was very patient with my cat. She also helped a lot with watering the plants and making sure all was smooth in my houses. A kind and thoughtful person too.”
“Sally was wonderful as a pet sitter. My original was unavailable so I booked with her and I’m grateful that I did. She provided daily updates with insight on how my fur babies were doing and plenty of pictures. My last sitter was great but I will continue to book with Sally. She set my mind at ease, daily, and im thankful she gave them the attention they needed and deserved. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch them.”

Perfect for high energy dogs - Milo Grogan
“Shanelle was so sweet, responsive, and accommodating on such short notice! She sent regular updates on Isla including photos and videos, which helped me feel comfortable. She did such a great job with my fur baby and I know Isla had an amazing time. Will definitely be booking again!”
“Mary was great. Very flexible. Set up a pre-stay meet for our 2 puppies. She offered pickup and drop off. And she sent videos of the dogs playing while they were there. Terrific experience!”
About: I care for ONE pet family at a time, giving your fur kiddos undivided attention! I work from home and have a secure, fenced in yard. My goal is for your pet to feel safe and loved while you’re away. A mutual stress relief, hanging with your pet is the best part of my day! I work from home full time, and provide frequent potty and sunshine breaks. I am available between 745am - 830pm for pickups and drop offs. My home is designed with pets in mind — safe, calm, and full of love. I live in a clean, cozy space where cats and pups can explore, nap, and get comfy. I’m mindful of every detail, from secure doors and windows to quiet corners for shy or senior pets. My own two friendly cats are used to sharing their space and love making new friends, but I can easily provide separation if your pet prefers solo time. I follow feeding and medication schedules carefully and keep a close eye on every guest’s comfort and well-being. You can expect regular updates and photos, so you always know your pet is happy, safe, and cared for as if they were my own.

I Have Drop in availability of 11am to 4 pm and Can host Pets During the day and evenings starting from 11am to 8 pm Monday’s Through Saturdays. If You Need Anyone To Feed your Bestfriends or to even let your babies out to the bathroom I am more then welcome to help. At anytime feel free to call and set up an appointment, or just message me and let me know what services is needed for you. Some of my prices are negotiable.
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 :)
About: Hi! I am a pet owner and enthusiast. Since I am a professor, I work from home and have a lot of free time in summers and holidays to hang out with your wonderful dog. I love getting to know a pet’s wants, anticipate their anxieties, and most importantly play! My work requires me to be on-site part time, so I am quite flexible for overnight stays, extra long walks, and boarding at my place with my sheltie Flora. I have a two bedroom apartment with my sweet, spayed sheltie Flora who loves to play and take naps. I am quite active so I would be happy to take your dog on long epic walks.
“Latisha is an incredible sitter and went above and beyond in a way that I can’t even begin to mention in a tiny review on this website. I am forever grateful to have found her to watch my baby boy.”
“Thomas took great care of my pup and he had a great time. Thomas sent plenty of updates and was very communicative and quick to respond. I could tell when I picked my dog up that he had not felt stressed or anxious, which is a huge relief.”
About: I’ve been a foster parent for Columbus Humane for 5 years. I’ve fostered everything from big dogs rescued from abuse cases to litters of kittens and their moms to pregnant guinea pigs! I also grew up in a house with 5 dogs and 2 cats—so nothing can surprise me. I have experience with breeds of all sizes, puppies, special medical needs, senior/end-of-life care, mixed animal homes (dogs AND cats, for example), and behavioral issues (other-dog aggressive, skittish, etc). I study from home all day and relax by going on walks with a science podcast. Your house, my house, whatever works—I’d love for your pup to join me! I’m currently studying from home full-time! So plenty of time for play, walks, potty breaks, or cuddles. I can do overnight boarding and doggy daycare at my house (I have a fenced backyard). I can offer lots of walks and attention as I study from home. I have a fenced-in backyard for playtime/potty and spare rooms for separation if needed. There is 1 set or stairs, but I can carry those who cannot do stairs if they are under 30lbs. I have experience with medical needs and first-aid. I’m happy to discuss your unique situation and see if we fit!
“Sally was GREAT for daycare. I know my girls were taken care of, and they were beat when they got home. She was super active with them and definitely wore off the puppy energy! Definitely will be using her again”
About: I’ll make sure they get an opportunity to enjoy themselves when you’re not available, and I’ll make sure their needs are met. You book me, you can trust your pet is taken care of. Flexible schedule. Available weekends upon special request. M-F, 9am to 10am, 12pm to 1pm, 4pm to 5pm are only times available as of right now I have a fenced yard, and two crates available. I prefer to understand the animal and client’s normal routine and proactively plan a meet and greet so the animal becomes familiar with me before further interactions.
About: Being a senior makes me old school, like being exactly on time or a bit early. I subscribe to the Dog Whisperer tenet of being ALPHA and pack leader to dogs in my care. A dog in a pack is a happy dog. I only use positive reinforcement. Ex.: dog pulling on the leash can be fixed by changing directions every 4 steps to the left, walking in a square, this encourages the dog to slow down and watch his human. Dog hair is a welcome addition to a life well lived, that's why my dogs get furniture and bed privileges. One fact about my dogs i pay attention to is how many sips of water they take. On a very hot day I've seen 30-40. This helps me know easily how my pet is feeling so I can react accordingly. Maybe time to put the soft Frisbee away! I'm fully retired, and rise early, so morning walks are easy. Breakfast is next, and 1hr later another walk outside. I like to prep a bag to take to the park. My fav is Schiller Park in German Village. I don't own a pet currently, I've had some health issues that are now resolved. Having been an owner twice in my life has given me many many experiences so I am flexible.
“Michelle was AMAZING! We have a 3 month old puppy and she was truly incredible with him. We got tons of updates and lots of pictures and videos. I highly recommend using Michelle to watch your fur baby - I will definitely be using her again!”
“Dexter had a good time as usual with Sydney and of course she provided plenty of pics and videos during the day. So glad we found a place where Dexter is so comfortable. Definitely will be having her watch him again.”

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Milo Grogan
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.
“Chase was wonderful! Very communicative and handled my 3 crazy rescues very well! She provided great updates and pictures each walk and my kids seemed very happy! Will definitely utilize their services again!”
About: Hi! My name is Sabrina and I’m going to be a second year optometry student at The Ohio State University! My first job at 13 was taking care of my next door neighbor’s dog. She loved me so much that she referred me to a few other people within the neighborhood. They relied on me to walk, feed, give medications, among other responsibilities. I never had the opportunity to have my own furry friend, so I loved dedicating my time to helping others with theirs :) I’m a first year optometry student looking for an easy and fun way to make some extra money! I’m currently in my last summer between first and second year so I’m available most of the time! I love pets and love being active, so walking dogs definitely is within my ballpark (no pun intended). If your pet loves to have someone keeping them company I’m the same way!
“Audrey has been absolutely amazing! A true blessing! She worked with our quirky puppy dog. Truly engaged I cannot tell you how amazing she is to work with with. I recommend her wholeheartedly… book with her right now!”

“Cannot rave over JoVonna enough 🤍 so thankful for her bright spirit and love for our doggos! She helped us out in a pinch and is such a wonderful addition to our care team.”
“Vanessa has been our dog walker for almost a year. She is professional, communicate & make sure your energetic pup gets the exercise he needs! I very highly recommend Vanessa for any of your pets needs!”
“Taylor has been very helpful. She has come and walked our very energetic dog on a weekly basis and I have had 0 difficulties getting ahold of her or getting feedback about how everything went. She is very sweet and a great choice for your pet!”
“Jennifer was really assuring through the process of using rover for the first time! She provided a lot of pictures and details and did things I forgot to ask for, like refilling my dog’s water bowl. I felt really comfortable with her walking my dog and am happy knowing he got some extra care and attention!”
About: I have rescued dogs for 25+ years. I have rescued Rottweilers, Cane Corso, Hound mix, and Lab mixes. I am well versed on handling large, reactive dogs. My dogs always get walked twice/day for 2-3 miles, regardless of weather. I have also taken care of friends and neighbors dogs, everything from French Mastiffs to chihuahuas. Because I sometimes have damaged/reactive dogs, I take walks very seriously and stay very alert to avoid issues. I no longer work at my career job, and am semi-retired so am available most of the time, during the week and weekends, aside from vacations. My dogs get free rein of the downstairs, I do not let them on furniture, however. Despite living in the city, I have a large fenced backyard that I let the dogs out to run around whenever they want, though they always get walked twice a day as well
“This is our second time booking with Emma, and we'll happily book with her again in the future. We had good communication, the walks were for the agreed upon amount of time, and we always came home to a happy dog!”
“Camryn has been amazing for this first 3 weeks. She scheduled a consultation on short notice, and has been great with timing, communication, and most importantly, care of our dog. We’ll be hiring her for a long time!”
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.
“In addition to being a reliable and communicative walker, Jessica even stayed with Myles today while he was sick. Made me feel so much better to know he was well taken care of and closely monitored!”
