“Our dog was well taken care of during her week long stay with Tina. She and her husband loved and played with her and sent photos along the way. I am thankful we found a great place for our dog to stay!”
“Jill took excellent care of our dog! The pictures and updates were thoughtful and reassuring that our fur baby was in good hands and having a blast playing with her family and their dog! I absolutely recommend Jill to anyone in the area looking for a superior alternative to a boarding kennel. Your dog will be a part of their family during his/her stay.”
“Thank you Cristi for taking care of our Pup while we were gone! Thank you for messaging me promptly and sending me pictures, too! We will definitely use your services again in the future!”
“My dog stayed with Joe for 2 weeks which is the longest time I have ever left her with someone. She came back very happy and healthy. Joe frequently sent me pictures which was very reassuring to me. I heartily reject Joe as a Dogsitter!”
“Shannan was wonderful with our dog! She gave the best updates which we really looked forward to hearing. We were so appreciative to her attentive care for him and all the lovins, play, and exercise he got while he was there.”
“Ashliegh was wonderful with our puppy. It had been awhile since I had used Rover since our previous dog had passed 4 years ago but we could not have had a better experience. Ashliegh was great with communication and so kind and sweet. 🥰”
“I had the good fortune of finding Deanna! She has established a safe and dog friendly haven that caters to the enjoyment of many breeds. Deanna goes above and beyond to understand the preferences and needs of your fur baby, ensuring a caring experience. I not only recommend but will use her services again.”
“Samantha is simply the best! We are able to leave our pup with her without a worry at all, knowing that he is going to receive the best care. I cannot recommend her enough!”
“Cassie was flexible with our needs, which was crucial for the success of this particular trip. She went above and beyond making sure that Dixie had everything she needed. We truly are thankful for her services!!”
“Darah took wonderful care of Mysti while I was out of town. Daily updates and photos were sent to me and I could see how content Mysti felt in her home. Will definitely book pet visits with Darah again for future trips trips away from home.”
“Cassie was great & took good care of Henry - she even gave him a bath! He looked great when we picked him up & seemed like he had a good time too. Will definitely use her again when we’re in the area!”
“If I could give 10 stars I would! Our boy stayed with Jamie 2 times in one week and he had the best time! Both times he came home, she gave a treat bag for him. And on our last stay she even included a treat for our twin toddlers. The sweetest human I have come in contact with. 10/10 would recommend!”
“If I could give more than five stars, I would! Denise and her family kept our boys for twelve days and took such great care of them. We got lots of pictures of them being loved on and snuggled. It made us so happy to know that they were comfortable, safe, and happy while we were away. Our dogs’ medications and supplements were not an issue either. We wholeheartedly recommend Denise to anyone who is looking for a home away from home for their dogs.”
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.

“Katelyn did a great job with feeding our cats while we were away for few days. She kept me informed on things and sent pics, which I loved! I highly recommend Katelyn as your furbaby sitter/caregiver while away.”
“We are very happy with Melina! We have booked her for drop-ins 3 days a week and will continue. We work long hours and I feel so much better knowing that a caring person is stopping in to let the dogs out to run and potty. We will continue with Rover and Melina!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs ever since I got my first dog at 12 years old, and my love for animals has only grown since then. Friends, family, neighbors, and others have trusted me to care for their pets because I’m dependable, responsible, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I understand how important pets are to a family, and I always treat every dog like they’re my own. I recently graduated from college, which gives me a very open and flexible schedule! So I have plenty of availability to care for your pets throughout the week. My schedule can vary slightly depending on the week, but I’m very flexible and always willing to work with pet owners to find times that fit best! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities.

About: My family always owned pets and I'm the only person that my old roommate trusts to dogsit for them. I love the company of pets. I work fully remote from anywhere with cellular coverage or WiFi and only have rare times when I absolutely have to be in meetings so I have a lot of flexibility to make time for other things. If it's okay with you, I would like to let your pet free to roam around your house just as if you were home. I love petting them and having chats while I'm working. I always set reminders for the meal times and potty breaks you request to make sure they are pampered as much as you want. No sharing of human food, only their approved diest and treats.

My routine is keeping their routine as normal for them as possible. I want them to be able to adjust to me being there with them but be like nothing has changed when the owners come back home.

“Tina was as good for me as she was for Tommy! I had a pretty busy, stressful day ahead of me and she took a lot of my problems away by giving me a safe place to leave Tommy where he could play and be kept busy while I got my things taken care of pretty efficiently. Her compassion and kindness will not be forgotten.”
“Cassie was amazing!! This was Tilly's first pet sitter experience and Cassie made everything great!! Highly recommend Cassie!! She will be my go to if I ever need a pet sitter again!! 10 STARS!!!!”
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.
“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
“Sam is heaven sent ! Im a new puppy owner and I was so nervous about leaving Lulu but , Sam made me feel so comfortable and I loved how she kept me updated with pics and videos of how happy Lulu was in her care . This has been the best experience and I will continue to use Sam as a sitter for my Babygirl ☺️”
“Jodi responded right away after I inquired last minute about a daycare stay so we could explore the area while passing through on a road trip. Our doggy was slowly introduced to the other dogs, who were all so friendly, and she immediately ran off to play. She sent me pictures throughout the day of all the fun our dog was having and she was so tired on the way home. If we’re ever in the area again, I’d bring our dog back in a heart beat!”
About: I have a two bully breed babies, Paris and Ozzy (Oswald). From one dog momma to another yes ofc your dog can sleep on my furniture! I am a final year ADN-RN student and a PRN Student Nurse outside of class. However, do not let those busy titles fool you I’m very very revolved around my babies and I can be with yours too! I have spent my whole childhood following into adulthood working with a variety of pups with different behaviors/personalities/ and specific needs so I’m convinced I can handle just about anything your pup has to throw at me. I’m definitely not the gal who is ashamed of going out with an extra layer of dog hair to complete my look and I’m certainly not one to pass up a slobbery kiss. We have PLENTY of toys/treats to share and lots of on the go things for walks and playtime at the dog park (don’t worry I have seatbelts for the pups, safety first!) pls reach out to me for any of your fur baby care you might need I’m very flexible as I’m just doing this truthfully for the pleasure of meeting your sweet babies, giving my gal some friends to play with, and some extra money bc lord knows living isn’t cheap as a college student, HA! Don’t feel like holding back on any questions or concerns. I promise I’m very sweet and patient as I have worked with many pups who give me a run for my money but most of the time those are the ones I love having most! I’m very flexible! I have work and school throughout the week ofc, but my schedule is very capable of being attentive to your pet(s) as well as my own. If your pup has any care/daily needs that could potentially run into a concern of yours that you believe I may not have time for don’t be afraid to discuss with me I’m more than willing to work with accommodating to your needs!! My sweet babies Ozzy and Paris are both big fan of outdoor playtime and car rides and they love inviting new friends along for adventures! I am a firm believer in dogs ARE allowed on furniture why would it be fair for them to not also be comfy on the couch or bed ?! I am pretty laid back in my home when it comes to the “pet rules” for the most part. I will treat your pup(s) like my own and ofc send you pictures and videos every time they do something I know I wouldn’t wanna miss out on seeing with my own!
“Shannan is excellent at communist and was willing to work with me on drop off and pickup timing, which I really appreciated. Bonus points for having prior experience working at a doggie daycare. Really helped to facilitate a smooth transition for Serena. Best of all was the fact that Serena had a giant smile on her face when I came to pick her up! Thanks so much Shannan!!!”
About: I grew up with a black lab, Macey and a Chihuahua mix, Tootsie and took care of them from when I was young until around the age of 16 when they passed away. I also regularly dog sat 5 dogs at once- all with specific needs, diets and medications before the family moved away. I am comfortable with high energy dogs, I will happily administer medication, and we have 2 acres of fenced in land for your dog to run and play! I am a flight attendant so my schedule varies- usually I work 3-4 days a month and they are never the same. Request and I’ll accept if I’m not flying that day, but other than occasional work I’m pretty much always home! I would love to have a dog but because I’m a flight attendant I know I couldn’t give it the consistency and love it would need- however, on days I am home I would LOVE to have a furry friend to play with. We would be happy to host your dog(s) and let them run around our fenced in back yard, explore the barn, and roam the house. We only accept dogs that are good with children and that are potty trained. We have a large kennel if your dog is crate trained and you would like us to use it, but as long as it’s good with kids it’s free to explore. We can administer medication, give treats, and share lots of love and we hope you’ll trust us with your beloved pups ❤️ P.S. my favorite breeds are corgis, labs and golden doodles :) but I’m not picky, all dogs will receive equal love 😉
About: We’ve always been big dog people. Growing up around dogs taught us just how much love, attention, and care they truly need and we genuinely believe pups shouldn’t be left alone for long stretches. That’s why we’re passionate about helping others give their dogs the fun, companionship, and consistent care they deserve when life gets busy. We both adore dogs (they honestly make us so happy and bring us a ton of joy), and we’d be excited to play, cuddle, and keep your pup feeling safe and loved. Over the years, friends and family have trusted us again and again to care for their dogs, whether they’re out of town or just need a helping hand. We also enjoy training, and we’re always patiently working on new tricks and good habits with our golden retriever, Daisy! We have amazing work flexibility. We can work around people's schedules. It would just be a matter of coordinating between me and the owner of the pup. In our home, your dog will have a safe, closed fenced backyard to run and play, plenty of toys, and the company of our friendly golden retriever, Daisy. We keep preventive dog meds on hand for things like allergies, and your pup will always have access to fresh water, food, and a variety of treats.
“Kyla is AMAZING! My husband and I were in need of a sitter last minute and Kyla was quick to respond and super great at updates and communication. Our dog has been shedding a lot lately and Kyla took the time to groom her which was so kind! I can’t recommend Kyla enough for your dog sitting needs 🐶!”
About: I have had animals my entire life so there is never a time where I wasn't around one. I also trust them more than people so therefore, they trust me more than most as well. I am a stay at home mom with 2 under 2 so I am always home and most likely available but I will probably have my children when I do any services on this app. I have 4 cats and 4 dogs of all colors and a variety of personalities so I am used to chaos. I have a fenced yard, pools and toys everywhere for my dogs to run around. My cats have their own room with all the beds and scratching posts they desire. I feed them on a timed schedule but have full water bowls all around the house for them to drink at their leisure all day. I have furniture set up specifically so they can look out windows and there are no rules when it comes to where they can sleep.
About: I am 23, I’ve grown up with all kinds of animals since I was a baby and have grown up with 20+ dog breeds, I’ve raised and trained Puppies with my mom for years. I have a huge heart for all animals and don’t have any allergies, I do have 2 dogs, 2 cats, 1 ball python and a decent sized backyard. I give all animals plenty of love, attention and playtime, there is forest and field parks around me so if your dog is good on a leash I can take them there to run around and play, my neighborhood is quiet and calm all the time other than dogs barking few times throughout the day, they will love it here. I’m an animal nerd and know how to care for almost any animal including reptiles, amphibians and bugs! I currently have no job due to my agoraphobia making it very hard to work and have a steady income, I am available all day every day unless I have plans I have a fenced in yard but live in a small house, all of my animals are people and pet friendly so they will not show any aggression towards you or your pets
About: I treat every dog like family—because that’s how I care for my own! I’ve spent years caring for my dogs and those of friends and family, especially while they were out of town. I’m experienced with dogs of all ages, including playful puppies and slower-moving seniors who need extra patience and love. Whether it’s belly rubs, slow strolls, or high-energy playtime, I adjust to meet each dog’s unique needs. Your pup will be pampered, safe, and loved—just like they deserve! Pet care fits naturally into my lifestyle. I work part-time as a home health caregiver three days a week. On those days, I have a split schedule—just 3 hours in the morning and 2 hours in the afternoon, with a break in between. This gives me plenty of time to care for pets throughout the day. Outside of those hours, my schedule is very open, allowing me to give your pet the love, attention, and care they need—whether it’s for walks, playtime, or just keeping them company while you're away. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, their safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I treat every dog like my own—loved, pampered, and well cared for. I make sure they have a calm, clean, and secure environment, free of hazards and full of attention. If I’m in your home, I respect your space and your pet’s routine to keep things as familiar and stress-free as possible. I pay close attention to each pet’s needs, from meal times and medication to play and potty breaks. I also send regular updates so you can feel confident and connected while you're away. With my background as a home health caregiver, being attentive, responsible, and trustworthy is second nature to me—qualities I bring to every pet I care for.
“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!”

“Camryn was wonderful with our Old English Sheepdogs! Not many people can handle too extra large dogs at the same time, but it was like she had been doing it her entire life. My girls absolutely loved her, and you could see her love for them. Camryn also followed instructions well, and made sure that my girls got everything that they needed. I will definitely be rebooking her in the future! Thank you Camryn!”

My goal whenever I hangout with an animal is to make sure they know they can trust me. I have to take care of my three dogs at my house, with help from my family but during the day Im the one who is usually home. I love to take my dog for a walk or even a run sometimes. I care for my pets and any pets I get to watch like they're my own. I will play with them, or hangout with them for a long time (they're the best company).

I've always had a strong love for caring for animals and especially dogs because I love their endless happiness for the world around them. I'm very comfortable around any size and any breed of dog or cat, or to take care of any other pet need you might have! Aside from growing up around more animals than I can count, I used to volunteer at my local animal shelter and I am comfortable with learning any new needs your pet may have. I currently work night shift 4 days a week so I will be available during the daytime for your pet needs! I will be available to walk, do house check ins and feed/water your pets! Although I'm not currently in a position where I can have my own pet or pet sit from where I live, Im very passionate about working with animals and I'm excited to start meeting your babies and helping you give them the best care you can from your home.
About: I own a husky, american terrier mix, and a cat. I often care for family member pets as well. Whether they are big, small, feline, or canine, I have been around them all and understand how unique each animal can be. I have an open schedule so I can spend as much time with your pet as you like. I am available on weekends for drop-ins, or walks. I understand that each pet and their home deserve the utmost respect. Your needs as well as your pet's are very important to me which is why I will see every request is met.
About: I am a real estate photographer looking to fill in the gaps in my day, and to get me out of the house on days where I’m not too busy. In my free time I like bird watch as well as visit with and walk the dogs at the Franklin county dog shelter! And growing up my family fostered dogs, which allowed me to have plenty of experience with puppy’s to senior dogs of all different breeds and sizes! More recently I have been raising a blue heeler with my dad and I have been reminded of how much better life is with a dog! I’d love to help relieve some stress for those of you who might need a little extra help. I am a real estate photographer, so I usually have lots of downtime in between shoots. I’m also always available in the afternoons past 5 and most weekends! I am able to take long walks with your babies near your home, and I can even transport to dog parks or other areas if needed!
About: Hello! My name is Katelyn and I am the most passionate animal lover you'll meet! I live on a farm with 2 dogs, 3 cats, a paralyzed rabbit named Pete, and 17 chickens. I love taking care of animals and know the stress involved when travelling away from them. For that reason, I would love to alleviate the stress of others who are going on vacation or travelling briefly out of town. I would work hard to ensure your furry loved ones were comfortable and cared for during your absence, as I would my own. I have owned animals all of my life, and have personal experience caring for cats, dogs, rabbits, and chickens! I am also willing to learn about the care of other animal breeds as well 😁 I look forward to meeting you and your furry (or feathered!) friend!
About: With two years of experience caring for dogs and other animals, including volunteer work at a local dog shelter, I offer reliable and compassionate pet care services. As a pet owner myself (two cats, three dogs, fish), I understand the importance of a safe and nurturing environment. I am also comfortable caring for fish, reptiles, and plants, and can provide light housekeeping. Currently, I am pursuing a degree in veterinary medicine, further enhancing my knowledge and skills in animal care. i am open availability and update my calendar regularly! i can do drop ins multiple times a day, and walks multiple times a day ! i have 3 friendly dogs in my home and 3 cats, right now since i do not live alone it isn’t in my range to keep animals in my home
About: I’ve been caring for dogs ever since I got my first dog at 12 years old, and my love for animals has only grown since then. Friends, family, neighbors, and others have trusted me to care for their pets because I’m dependable, responsible, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I understand how important pets are to a family, and I always treat every dog like they’re my own. I recently graduated from college, which gives me a very open and flexible schedule! So I have plenty of availability to care for your pets throughout the week. My schedule can vary slightly depending on the week, but I’m very flexible and always willing to work with pet owners to find times that fit best! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I have experience caring for both my own dogs and others’ pets, and I always make sure they are supervised, safe, and well cared for in any environment.
About: My family always owned pets and I'm the only person that my old roommate trusts to dogsit for them. I love the company of pets. I work fully remote from anywhere with cellular coverage or WiFi and only have rare times when I absolutely have to be in meetings so I have a lot of flexibility to make time for other things. If it's okay with you, I would like to let your pet free to roam around your house just as if you were home. I love petting them and having chats while I'm working. I always set reminders for the meal times and potty breaks you request to make sure they are pampered as much as you want. No sharing of human food, only their approved diest and treats.
About: I genuinely love caring for animals—it’s something I truly enjoy! With 3 years of experience, I’ve provided dependable, compassionate care for both dogs and cats of all ages. What sets me apart is my patience, reliability, and ability to adapt to each pet’s unique needs. I’ve worked with energetic puppies, mellow senior pets, and everything in between. Whether it’s walks, playtime, medication, or overnight stays, I treat every pet like they’re my own. Pet care fits perfectly into my weekends, which are fully open for walks. On weekdays, I’m available after 5:30 PM for special cases or evening care. I’m happy to work with pet parents to find a schedule that meets their needs! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in the client’s, their safety and comfort always come first. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs they may have. I keep a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment, and I closely follow any instructions provided by the owner. I also give regular updates and photos so pet parents can feel confident and connected while they’re away.
About: Dogs have been apart of my life since I was born! Part of my chores was taking care of them. I love taking dogs on walks and playing at the doggy park! I also love giving dogs the best care I can! I personally try to stay updated on the best ways to care for dogs, instead of sticking to old ways of taking care of them. I have a part time job, I only work Sunday, Monday, and Tuesdays! But, I might have some weeks where my schedule looks different. I don’t mind waking up early or staying out late to take care of your babies! I can crate if your dog needs to be, I can also create enrichment items for them to have some fun! I’ll measure out food, take them outside, or walk them at a certain time. When it comes to pet care, I keep it simple yet fun to have a relaxing time. As well as if there needs to be strict rules, I’ll follow that as well!
About: I have a two bully breed babies, Paris and Ozzy (Oswald). From one dog momma to another yes ofc your dog can sleep on my furniture! I am a final year ADN-RN student and a PRN Student Nurse outside of class. However, do not let those busy titles fool you I’m very very revolved around my babies and I can be with yours too! I have spent my whole childhood following into adulthood working with a variety of pups with different behaviors/personalities/ and specific needs so I’m convinced I can handle just about anything your pup has to throw at me. I’m definitely not the gal who is ashamed of going out with an extra layer of dog hair to complete my look and I’m certainly not one to pass up a slobbery kiss. We have PLENTY of toys/treats to share and lots of on the go things for walks and playtime at the dog park (don’t worry I have seatbelts for the pups, safety first!) pls reach out to me for any of your fur baby care you might need I’m very flexible as I’m just doing this truthfully for the pleasure of meeting your sweet babies, giving my gal some friends to play with, and some extra money bc lord knows living isn’t cheap as a college student, HA! Don’t feel like holding back on any questions or concerns. I promise I’m very sweet and patient as I have worked with many pups who give me a run for my money but most of the time those are the ones I love having most! I’m very flexible! I have work and school throughout the week ofc, but my schedule is very capable of being attentive to your pet(s) as well as my own. If your pup has any care/daily needs that could potentially run into a concern of yours that you believe I may not have time for don’t be afraid to discuss with me I’m more than willing to work with accommodating to your needs!! My sweet babies Ozzy and Paris are both big fan of outdoor playtime and car rides and they love inviting new friends along for adventures! I am a firm believer in dogs ARE allowed on furniture why would it be fair for them to not also be comfy on the couch or bed ?! I am pretty laid back in my home when it comes to the “pet rules” for the most part. I will treat your pup(s) like my own and ofc send you pictures and videos every time they do something I know I wouldn’t wanna miss out on seeing with my own!
About: My name is Jordan Harris and I am an animal lover hoping to be able to make a difference in you and your pets life! I have worked with animals in my daily career for the last 10 years, beginning as a kennel technician in a large boarding facility, working in doggy daycare, grooming, and basic obedience dog training. I was promoted to General Manager in 2017 and in 2021 I left my job at the boarding facility to pursue a career in Veterinary Medicine. I currently am a Clinic Office Manager at a veterinary clinic where we care for cats, dogs, and exotic pets. After working in boarding for so many years, I understand that not all pets do well in a boarding facility. I am hoping to offer families and their pets the peace of mind and comfort for your pet however I can, in your home. I currently work full time, 4 days a week. I am free on the weekends and would be more than happy to discuss my weekly availability. 🙂 I do have a 5 year old daughter that may come along from time to time; however only if necessary. If your pet doesn’t do well with children please let me know ahead of time so I can plan accordingly. I am comfortable dispensing medication/strict diets, and handling dogs with special needs such as behavioral, medical, etc. Tell me how your pet prefers their attention and exercise and we will do it their way!

“Jill took excellent care of our dog! The pictures and updates were thoughtful and reassuring that our fur baby was in good hands and having a blast playing with her family and their dog! I absolutely recommend Jill to anyone in the area looking for a superior alternative to a boarding kennel. Your dog will be a part of their family during his/her stay.”

“Lacey was awesome!! She was extremely sweet and I immediately felt comfortable leaving my puppy with her. She was always very quick to respond and asked a lot of questions beforehand to ensure she was providing the best care possible. Lacey sent lots of pictures and videos throughout the stay which I greatly appreciated and it gave me peace of mind. My dog came home exhausted from all the playtime, walks and a dog park visit. Lacey exceeded my expectations and I would highly recommend her to care for your pet. I will definitely book Lacey again for my precious pup!”

Amy was amazing at sending me updates and pictures during Ivy’s stay. I would 100% use her again in the future!”
“If I could give 10 stars I would! Our boy stayed with Jamie 2 times in one week and he had the best time! Both times he came home, she gave a treat bag for him.

About: I grew up with dogs but now I take care of other people’s dogs! Been dog sitting since 2020 and I have many regular families that love me! I work two part time flexible schedule jobs so I have lots of free time where I check on animals or go for a quick walk/feed! I personally don’t take animals to my own space unless needed, but I will stay the night if you want and always follow detailed instructions!
“If I could give more than five stars, I would! Denise and her family kept our boys for twelve days and took such great care of them. We got lots of pictures of them being loved on and snuggled. It made us so happy to know that they were comfortable, safe, and happy while we were away. Our dogs’ medications and supplements were not an issue either. We wholeheartedly recommend Denise to anyone who is looking for a home away from home for their dogs.”
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.
