Highly-rated overnight sitters - Weinland Park
“Lauren was absolutely great with my doggos! She sent me pictures and kept me updated. One of my dogs required quite a bit of medication and she was very accepting of it. I would definitely recommend Lauren if you ever need someone to care for your fur babies!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“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!”
“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”
“Andrew and his family took great care of Luna. She seems to have settled in quickly with his family of people and pups and came home happy. Would absolutely book with him again.”
“Incredibly thoughtful and personal communicators. Most of all, our dog loves being with Michelle, Nicholas, and their dog Waffles. We feel extremely comfortable.”
“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Marena was a fantastic sitter for my dog Max! She gave me frequent updates and had no issues with the provided instructions for his care. Marena took such great care of Max, I don’t think he wanted to leave when we picked him up :) I will definitely have her watch Max again in the future.”
“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.”
“Emily was amazing with our Goose! Not only was she able to take him on such a short notice, she was excited about having him stay with her. She sent me daily pictures and updates of Goose playing with her pups and having a fantastic time. Emily’s communication was fantastic and helped ease any anxiety I had about not being able to bring Goose with us on a road trip. I cannot say how thankful I am that Emily was able to watch and care for our dog on such a short notice and during the Thanksgiving week. We definitely will be recommending Emily and booking with her for any future needs. Absolutely amazing, I cannot say it enough.”

“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!”
About: One of my favorite parts of my undergrad experience was taking care of my cousin’s cat. I fed, played, and took care of her for extended periods of time and loved having a furry friend keeping me company. I’ve also taken care of 8 week old kittens for my next door neighbors at 14 years old! Sometimes when I got cat deprived, my friends and I would go to a humane society to play with cats.
“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!”
“Anna did a great job with my kitty Maya. Maya is shy and Anna made sure to engage with her and send me some photos. She also followed all instructions and was dependable.and trustworthy. You can leave your kitty with her without worry!”
“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.”
“Ioana not only accepted my booking very last minute, but took the BEST care of my babies! Some scheduling issues with evening care resulted in lack of litter clean up, which Ioana promptly addressed and took care of without being a part of original care plan. Great communication, highly attentive, would recommend to anyone!!”
“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.”
“Abby was kind enough to let me book her last minute. She was friendly, considerate, and so good with my cat Tobi. She updated each visit with photos and made me feel at ease that Tobi is in good hands. I will definitely book her again in the future! Highly recommend Abby”
“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
“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 - Weinland Park
“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!”
“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 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.
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!
“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.”
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.

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.

“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!”
“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”
“She took awesome care of my two babies even after they totally act like they had no home training kept in contact and was even accommodating with picking up early and dropping off late I appreciate her so much highly recommended and will definitely use again”
About: I’ve grown up with small and big dogs around, and now have a sweet medium sized girl of my own! I have a passion for the care and keeping of all dogs, and my pup will happily accept any new play dates! I work a hybrid job and am home Monday - Thursday. On Fridays, I will typically go into office anywhere from 4-6 hours out of the day. Otherwise, I’m home sending emails in between walking and playing with pups! At my home, it is nothing but me, my pup & plenty of room for love and play! I am able to crate, potty train, walk and train your pets if need be! I take walks around my neighborhood daily, and am able to accommodate to your pets needs whatever they may be.

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.
“Elizabeth is amazing. Extremely reliable, prompt communication and easily handles any obstacle. Highly recommended and very trustworthy. I selfishly hope others don't find her so she is always available...”
“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!”
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!
“Erin was incredible! She helped my sister and I out during a family emergency and showed up for us last minute to save the day! Incredible communication very compassionate unable to work with our quirky puppy! I highly recommend her!!!”
“Andrea is truly incredible! The best dog walker, send pictures, and is very timely with her responses! I strongly recommend her to anyone wanting someone to take your energetic puppy out for a walk :)”
“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.”
“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!”
“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!”
“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!”
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
About: Hi there! I'm Rae, a lifelong animal lover with two cats of my own (Cheese and Cabernet Sauvignon) and years of experience growing up around dogs. I've spent years house-sitting and pet-sitting for family and friends, so I'm comfortable with everything from feeding schedules and medications to walks, playtime, or just keeping your pup or kitty company while you're away. I have a very flexible schedule with my PhD program and would love some opportunities to get out and about and away from my desk (and playing with your pets!). I have a pretty flexible schedule and only need to be away from home a couple hours at a time! I have occasional classes at OSU or a few yoga classes I teach during the week, but otherwise I'm free to hang out with my pets (or yours!). Because I spend a lot of time at home, I like to make sure it is a clean and lovely environment to be in. I treat my home like a safe space and with respect and that is how I like to treat others' homes, too!
“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!”
