“We had a last minute need for a dog sitter and Kelsey was incredibly accommodating and willing to help watch out pup. She was considerate, sent updates and pictures, and was sure to check in on any needs our dog may need. Highly highly recommended!”
“Kirsten and Nicolas were great! They sent pics during the whole stay and were very communicative. They also have a fenced in back yard that they let the dogs run around in. They updated us when the pups appetites were low, which I really appreciated. Both of our dogs tend to be anxious without us because they aren’t used to used to being alone, so it was also a big plus that they work from home. In the past we have had to send our pups to kennels because we don’t have friends or family near by who can watch them. They would be locked in a kennel all day and we would literally have to pay extra for belly rubs or time out of the kennel. I usually feel uneasy the whole trip but not this time. I could tell they were well taken care of and treated like one of their own. Thank you so much Kirsten and Nicolas!”
“Alexandria is wonderful! She took incredible care of Lucky, providing frequent updates and photos that kept my mind at ease. It was clear from the start that Lucky was in great hands and felt right at home throughout the entire stay. I highly recommend Alexandria for anyone needing a reliable and attentive sitter!”
“Rachel and her fiancée, Newt, were fantastic with Reese! She sent plenty of updates and took awesome care of Reese. He looked happy and well taken care of! I would definitely recommend Rachel and will work with her again.”
“Our pup loved staying with Emily! They were very flexible with our pick up time since we were coming back from a volleyball tourney and weren't exactly sure what time we would arrive. I would highly recommend.”
“Home away from home! My 2 girls absolutely loved their stay. They got tons of pets and cuddles and of course were spoiled! Halina and Theodore do a fantastic job of making sure your pup is comfortable and feels loved :)”
“Megan & Jay were wonderful! Easy to communicate with and sent lots of pictures. They took great care of our pup! She looks forward to staying with them again!”
“This AMAZING family took care of our dog while we were on vacation. We had plenty of updates and photos. I was honestly surprised Bella wanted to leave! We will be using their services every time we need a sitter. Thank you so much for loving and caring for Bella!”
“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.”
“Nicole made me feel very comfortable leaving our fur baby with a meet and greet, and then later after drop-off, sending pictures immediately after we left of our Jack settling in with her dog. I felt so relieved and could enjoy our vacation! She checked in and sent pics regularly. Our highly active Jack was well exercised and crashed out when he got home! I will definitely use Nicole again!”
“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.”
“Kris watched my dog for 5 days and it was a wonderful experience! She sent us daily updates and photos and we appreciate all the care and play time she put into our “high energy” dog!”
“Jasmine took care of our puppy like her own, and kept us updated with regular photos and messages, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. We’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable and caring boarding services.”
“Kristin was so nice and accommodating! It made traveling so much easier knowing that my pup was in good hands. She sent regular text updates and was flexible with pick up and drop off times. She even left a note in my dog's food container! I would 100% recommend her to anyone!”
“I love Liz and so does my Jimmy. I couldn't be any happier. I am very protective of my dog since he is a rescue but I trust Liz fully. Always send pics and keeps me up to date. She loves my fur baby as if he was her own. ”
“Absolutely amazing experience. Great communication, tons of photos. You could tell in the picture how calm and happy my dog was. Laura and Joey followed all my requests/wants/needs perfectly and gave him all his medication. Would recommend to anyone. We got stuck at the airport and they were able to accommodate him for an additional night/day (making a grand total of 17 days). Will use again when going out of town.”
“Pam and her husband are the absolute best! We set up a meet and greet before our trip, and my dog instantly loved them both from the start. Pam asked great questions and took detailed notes about Jaxx’s care, so I knew he would be in great hands. And they sent wonderful pictures, videos, and updates throughout our entire trip. Jaxx had a great time and I didn’t have to worry at all while I was away. Thank you!!!”
“Loni is absolutely amazing! It's clear she has a genuine love for animals, and she took exceptional care of our fur baby while we were away. Her communication was top-notch—frequent updates and plenty of adorable pictures kept us completely at ease. I wouldn’t be surprised if our pup was a little sad to leave her care! Highly recommend her to anyone looking for peace of mind and a happy pet.”

“Elaina was wonderful to work with! She was incredibly thorough with her care and followed every direction I left while I was away. Her report cards were detailed and gave me a really good idea of how each of the boys was doing, which gave me so much peace of mind. She also sent plenty of pictures, and those meant a lot since I missed them so much. It was such a relief knowing they were in good hands, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Molly is THE best there is! She is extremely communicative, sends lots of pictures, and strives to do an amazing job. She understands the importance of this role and goes above and beyond not just for the pets, but the owners too! You can tell she’s an animal lover to her core. My cats were well cared for!”
“Ellen was great. We hate leaving our cat alone for an extended time, and we're always apprehensive about how the cat will get along. All of the concerns were out the window when the cat cozied up to Ellen on her lap after 2 days! We received daily photos/videos as updates that really let us enjoy our time away. We highly recommend Ellen.”
“Carolyne did a great job; she showed up on time every day and communicated with me when necessary. There were some extra things I asked her to do during drop-ins and she was happy to do so. I appreciated when she asked to make sure she was doing things the way I wanted. She is someone you can count on!”
“Emily always does an amazing job, I have no worries knowing she is caring for my cats while I’m away! She goes above and beyond just the cats, also helping care for my house/plants as well. You can tell she actually enjoys spending time with them and helping out!”
“Karlina is the absolute best!!! My spicy kitty is almost certainly her most difficult client, being both anxious and diabetic, but she handles him like an absolute champ. She’s gone out of her way to make him as comfortable as possible, and we’re so grateful for her.”
“Jacqueline is amazing. She is absolutely our go-to sitter. She communicates well, pays attention to detail, and clearly adores our kitties, both indoor and outdoor. No more coming home to stressed cats!”
“Maddie was wonderful with our cat Ginny! She sent me daily updates & pics of her. When we returned from vacation our cat seemed very content & was well taken care of. I would highly recommend her!”
“Marissa, helped me in a pinch with a last-minute request for drop-in visits with my cat when I left town. She also agreed to an extra day when I decided to extend my trip. She communicated well with me before and during. I will definitely use her services again!”
“This is our first time using Ema as a pet sitter and she was great! Very responsive and responsible, provided exceptional care for our cats and shared great feedback with us. I highly recommend her! Thank you Emma, we appreciate YOU! :)”
“April did a great job caring for our 2 cats. Communication was easy, she consistently sent us updates and pictures, and the cats received full care. What I especially appreciated is that she did not just come in, but also spent the full half hour playing with them and giving them some love. Would recommend!”
“Sidlali was great at our first meeting, and very patient with the possibly-overly-detailed introduction I gave her to our cats and their litter situation. I look forward to her taking care of our cats next month!”
“Kyra went above and beyond to help me out. I had to extend her service because of my work and she was super flexible about it. Both my cat and chinchilla loved her and they both seemed happy and well taken care of when I came back.”
“This was our first time using River and Brittany made it a wonderful experience. Surprisingly, she was able to get pictures of our kitties which was a surprise, plus one of the more skittish ones almost let her pet her. I would definitely request her again.”
“Arianna impressed me from the start with her great communication before booking. She stayed overnight with my mom's two 14-year-old cats. I came home to two happy cats and a clean house. Thank you so much, Arianna!”

About: I truly love all animals and will treat your pet as my own while they are in my care! I have experience house sitting, walking, feeding, playing, and experience with senior pets. I would love the opportunity to spend time with your pet and give them the love and care they need while you are away! I work fully from home so I have a very flexible schedule during the week and weekends. I work Monday through Friday and can fit pet care in the mornings, midday, and evenings those days. I do not work weekends so I am even more available Saturdays and Sundays. I will care for your pet in your home exactly as you would. I carefully follow all instructions provided and will be communicative throughout my time with your pet. I can assist with anything you may need in your home as well, such as plants or getting mail. I know the stress of being away from your pet, so I am here to make it as easy on you as possible!
“We appreciate the communication and flexibility provided esp with a late scramble with another sitter this past couple of weeks. And, most importantly, we were confident our big fur-baby was happy and taken care of with walks and more!”
“Maria was wonderful and took fantastic care of my little girl Bailey. I got photo updates regularly and really appreciate Maria taking such great care of her and being so communicative!”
“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”
“Will and Bibiana were absolutely amazing with Milo. They made me feel so comfortable that he would be taken care of and loved just as if he were home with me. They provided lots of pictures and took Milo on lovely long walks in nature!”
“Shanelle was absolutely amazing! This was our first time taking our puppy to a sitter and it was great. She sent multiple photos, videos, and updates. She tired her out and took great care of our girl! Definitely recommend! :)”
“Yoniray and family have been great with my dog, a little Havanese. She took pictures and sent them through rover. I can tell he was given a lot of love during the stay!”
About: I have had a dog growing up ever since I was a little girl. I have always puppy sat for past neighbors and family members and treat them as my own! I love dogs, always have and now have my own Bernese mountain dog and chocolate lab! Very available and flexible with time to help care for your fur babies! I can provide as many potty breaks as needed- also have a dog park within our apartment neighborhood! As always I will treat any home I enter with the greatest respect and caution and will welcome mine to any dog I dog sit!
“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!”
“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!”
“What a fabulous experience with Zach! He spent time with our virtual meet and greet making minor adjustments to assure Coleman’s safety and my comfort. He understands how much pets mean as family members and works hard to accommodate. His place is set up to care for pups in separate areas if necessary. Lots of photos and video throughout the stay. I highly recommend him.”
“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!”
“Kevin was amazing! He was able to accommodate us last minute and was super responsive during day care. Our pups had a great day and came back super happy with tails waggin!”
“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!”
“Sean is the best! He always comes through when l need him to watch my baby and he has even helped me out when I forget dogfood. Sean is very flexible and is understanding with my last minute schedule changes as well. Sean really does treat us like family and my Oso loves him!”

“Madde was fantastic! I could not imagine a better experience. She took great care of our older dog and younger pup both equally. She is kind, thorough, and extremely knowledgeable with helpful tips for our new puppy. If you are on the fence, choose Madde.”
“Jacqueline is fantastic - always on schedule, prompt, goes above and beyond, willing to do an extra task when asked. My pups really enjoy her and I know I can count on her following through.”
About: I have been providing pet sitting services for at least 15 years now for our various personal family friends and others. I love animals and have had pets my whole life. They are my fur babies, and yours will be treated the same! I am a recently retired mom and grandma who has two fur babies. I can provide my own transportation, and I’m available all throughout the day for various times as needed. I would be happy to help you with your fur baby needs. I plan to provide pet care in my client’s home and keep to the same schedule they are used to. It is my goal to make sure they are comfortable and safe before I leave from the visit.
About: I took care of my neighbors four cats when I was a teenager, and I have owned several dogs and one cat over the course of my life. One of my dogs had canine cognitive decline (dementia), so I am familiar with that and all of the attached issues. I currently work two days a week in downtown Columbus, but that means that I am available some Tuesday and Thursday afternoons. Otherwise, my schedule is flexible since my other work is self-guided. I like to make sure that pets are comfortable and that my presence is not an imposition on them. This means that I am on the lookout for signs that they need to go outside or that it is meal time. I give them as much attention as they want and then let them do their thing.
“Brittany has been such a relief for my husband and myself. Our adopted four legged Gus Bus is home for at least 10-11 hours. Brittany is his saving grace and spends time giving him snuggles and walks whenever he’s willing. She’s very punctual and very good with communicating about Gus. We’re so appreciative for the love and attention she has given our special boy.”
About: I have a beautiful dog of my own at home, his name is Merlin, he is an Australian Shepherd Border Collie mix, and a huge bundle of energy! I am not unfamiliar with puppies, elders, big dogs, little dogs, and the like! I am comfortable interacting with dogs ranging from Great Danes, Golden Retreivers, and even Dachshunds! I am able to stay overnight, head over around mid day, and leave in the morning! My work schedule is four 9 hour shifts a week, WTF and Sunday, with the hours of those shifts being 7am-4pm. I currently work over in Sunbury, so if your pets are unable to be left alone that long I encourage you to check out some other options! (Depending on location I am more than willing to stop by during my shift, given time permits) I love to take dogs on walks, play with cats and dogs alike, and cuddle with both of them, should they permit me to! I am fully willing to do whatever needed to keep you and your furbaby happy given I am able to do so!
About: I grew up within a household with a variety of animals. At one point we had five dogs, a cat, a bunny, a guinea pig, three hamsters, 5 birds, a bearded dragon, and a gecko. I learned at a very early age how to tend to animals (clean, feed, play, walk, potty breaks, etc) I enjoy helping others and especially caring for animals. They simply bring me joy. I have open availability (other than dates marked off calendar) and am flexible to try and accommodate your schedule as best as possible in order to make things easy for you and your pet. My male husband and I own a house with a fenced in backward and a neighborhood to walk in. Since I have open availability, I have time to tend to the animals without any distractions from other tasks.
About: I have had experience in dog sitting my friends’ dogs in the past. Now I want to do it more and give our dog more friends to play with also! Everybody wins! I can be available on weekdays in the afternoon , and weekends after 10 AM for dog sitting. I can walk dog every 2-4 hours. I have a large fenced in backyard with my friendly husky named Zangy and Maltipoo named Nimbus in the house. Lots of space for dogs to play and plenty of treats.
About: ✨ Meet & greets available for new clients ✨ Detailed updates with photos & videos ✨ Plenty of playtime, cuddles, and personalized care ✨ 5 years of nursing experience + a lifetime of caring for dogs Hi! I’m Gabriella 🤍 Your dog’s new favorite sitter (and hopefully a new bestie for them). I’ve been a registered nurse for the past five years, and caring for others has always been at the heart of who I am. That same patience, attentiveness, and compassion carries over into how I care for every pet I meet. Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up in a home with at least three dogs at all times—from gentle Newfoundlands and playful Yorkies to Mastiffs, Golden Retrievers, Poodles, and many more. I’ve helped train many of our family dogs using a variety of training methods and have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, personalities, and energy levels. Since moving to Columbus a few years ago and getting married, we haven’t welcomed a dog of our own just yet—which means I have plenty of love and attention to give yours! Whether your pup is energetic, shy, anxious, goofy, or a senior who just wants a calm companion, I take the time to get to know them and help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I also have experience with house sitting, boarding, walks, feeding, medication administration, and caring for pets with different routines and needs. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family member, so I’ll always treat your dog like they’re one of my own. My goal is simple: for you to enjoy your time away knowing your pet is happy, safe, loved, and in caring hands. You’ll always receive consistent communication, adorable photos, and honest updates, so you never have to wonder how your best friend is doing. I can’t wait to meet you and your pup! 🐾🤍 I’m currently working 32 hours a week. I’m free on Wednesday’s completely. I have evenings available (except Thursday) and I’m available on weekends. I’m an early riser, so if you need someone as early as 6:30am I’m your girl! Times gone: Monday 10-6 (work) Tuesday 8:30-4 (work Thursday 8:30-4 (work) Friday 8:00-4 (work) Sunday 10-12 (church) I will treat your pup just like my own! The more information you give me about them, the better! This way I can make sure i’m doing things/caring for them in a way that is the most familiar for them. You can expect quite a few photos of your pup when they are in my care, and quick communication from me as well. I’d love to walk your pup, however long they’re comfortable. Dogs when over our house can roam around wherever while we’re present. I have a guest room to keep them in, if I were not to be home. I can also crate them, as long as that’s provided with them! They are free to sleep on the couch, floor, or bed. We have no pets currently living with us, it is me and my husband. I have experience training dogs in public settings and taking them out and about to pet friendly places. If your dog is already trained and well mannered in public places, I’m more than happy to take them out to places that stimulate them and are pet friendly.
“Christine is a gem! My dog loves her and she is sweet, super responsive, and reliable. She takes lots of pictures and always makes me feel like my furry baby is in good hands.”
About: I've had a dog in my home since I was born, having 7 different dogs in my home over my lifetime. For the first time in 32 years, I have no dog in my home, because I'm living with my sister and can't get one of my very own, but I have lots of doggie love to share with your pups! Im currently unemployed and lost my most recent dog last year, I'm not quite ready to take the plunge and get a dog yet, but I miss having a pup around and have a lot of doggie loving to give. I promise to treat your dogs with the utmost care, and like they were a member of my own family. I'll keep them safe and happy until you can be reunited.
