“We left our senior doggie with Kris for the first time and she did an AMAZING job. We honestly couldn’t have found a better person to care for him while we were away. She sent me sweet updates and pictures which helped me feel confident that he was in good hand so that we could enjoy our vacation. We are just beyond grateful to have found this service and Kris. We highly recommend her!!!!”
“She took great care of our girl Sadie, she was great at sending updates and pictures, made our trip worry free. Sadie had a great time with Lauren and her dog Nala! Will definitely use Lauren again!”
“Angela did a wonderful job taking care of Willow. She sent pictures and updates which was much appreciated. Will book with her again! Willow loved their morning jogs together as well.”
“Hayley was absolutely amazing! Communication was excellent and we received pictures and videos regularly throughout the day. First time using these services and I am thoroughly impressed! I will definitely be booking with Hayley again! ❤️”
“Ashley is a god send and she took care of Bosco just like she’d take care of her own. Bosco had a blast there with her puppers so much so that he refused to get into the car to head home. He was super comfortable and happy at Ashley’s and given a chance he’d be happy to stay there forever. We’re so glad to have found someone like Ashley who takes such good care of the puppies that come for a stay and the puppies know they’re safe, cared for and showered with love. Bosco will definitely return 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!”
“Bethany was great! She took great care of my dogs during our family vacation. She was easy and willing to do a meet and greet before booking. She was very easy to work with for scheduling, drop off, and pick up. Her kids seemed great, too! Would definitely book her again.”
“Tom was amazing! I can say enough great things about my dogs stay. It was a quick weekend trip, but we got lots of updates and pictures of my dog. When I went to pick my dog up, he didn’t want to leave!”
“Our chocolate lab had a wonderful time with Emily! They sent pictures often and she always looked loved and that she was having a great time. She gave us great peace of mind and would definitely not hesitate to use her again!!”
“Lauren was great! Libby felt right at home and settled in really quickly. The huge fenced in back yard was definitely a plus and libby loved hanging out back there. We really appreciated how communicative and responsive Lauren was and we will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“Kelsey was amazing! I could tell Milo was safe and happy through all of the wonderful pictures she sent to me daily. He had so much fun I was worried he wouldn't want to come home! It was truly a fun vacation for him too. Also, when I dropped him off he was still having a few accidents in the house every now and then, and since he's been home, not one! Highly recommend, thank you so much!!”
“Our experience with Jasmine was nothing but positive! Our boy Benji fell in love with her family especially her little girl. He was well taken care of for the 2 weeks we were away. She updated us with photos and messages throughout our trip. We would definitely book with her again. ??”
“We found a treasure when we asked Kelly and Ben to help watch our dog while we were out of town! They love that she wanted to meet our Daisy before we made the final arrangements. That gave us such peace of mind. Our pup walked into their beautiful home, and she instantly felt comfortable. Their home is warm and gave us a feeling that our dog would be so well loved while we had to be out of town. Kelly also showed how much she cared and how knowledgeable she is by asking all the right questions and loving on Daisy like she was already a part of their family. Communication was terrific too! We received pictures throughout the weekend of Daisy on walks and being her sweet and silly self with Kelly’s family too! We are so happy with the experience that we already scheduled another time out of town - knowing that our Daisy girl will be totally spoiled and cared for while we are gone. Thank you to Kelly and her family for loving our dog like we do!❤️”
“We appreciated all of the TLC Rita & Brian provided for our precious dog Stella. She had frequent walks and visits to the garden. We loved all of the pictures we received while we were away. It made us feel reassured she was on the right hands.”
“Tina was amazing with my dog! She took such good care of her and also helped me with some good tips on things I wanted to train her on. I would definitely recommend Tina for taking care of your fur baby.”
“Ashle was INCREDIBLE! I have never left my dog with anyone but family, so Ashle was the first. She sent me texts with photos daily & let me know how Lady was doing. I was out of state for a few days & I felt confident she was not only being taken care of, but loved on as well!”
“Our dog Ninja had a great time with Sally. We're not local to Columbus so it was much appreciated to have someone to look after our dog while we attended a family reunion. Next time we are in the are we will be sure to book Sally again.”

About: I have been taking care of dogs for about 5 years now and have had pets all of my life. I can even give them their meds if needed. I work a 9-5 mon-fri job, but I am available any other time to take care of your fury babies. I’m available evenings, early mornings, and weekends I can work with dogs in the yard with a fence or no fence and I can feed and bathe them when needed. Also can give medications as well
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and have always grown up caring for them. I currently have two dogs—a corgi and a corgi mix—and they’re a big part of my everyday life. My experience with dogs of all personalities has helped me become very comfortable and confident in providing safe, loving care. Pet care fits well into my routine alongside my current job schedule. I’m available early mornings and evenings during the week, as well as full availability on Mondays and Tuesdays. I’m also available for morning and evening care on weekends. This flexibility allows me to provide consistent, dependable care for pets while keeping a structured and reliable schedule. I care for pets in my home by providing a safe, clean, and calm environment. I follow their normal feeding and walking schedule, give regular potty breaks, playtime, and make sure they feel comfortable and loved.
About: I've never not known having a pet! My parents got my first dog 2 days after I was born, and just like in The Secret Life of Pets, we were inseparable! Since then, I have owned several types of species of animals, and ever since I became a dad, my love for animals has grown. All of our friends joke that we run a zoo at our house, but I absolutely love watching the bond between my kids and our pets. We currently have 2 dogs, 2 red-eared sliders, and a hamster. I have experience caring for puppies/kittens, elderly dogs/cats, pregnant dogs/cats, aggressive animals, and animals who need medication administered. Although I don't currently have a cat, I spent my entire childhood and adolescence with a cat or multiple! I have experience with indoor and outdoor cats. I can't wait to love your pet(s) as my own!
“Shelly was great! Good communication while we were away, and all the cats were happy upon our return. Definitely appreciated her help and will book again!”

“Lisa did a great job! After meeting Lisa, I felt secure leaving our cat KC in good hands. Communication was excellent. She even made sure we made it home okay and all was good. I will be using Lisa's services again soon!”
About: I have 3-4 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, including daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, and making sure each dog feels safe and comfortable. I also worked at a kennel for a year, where I cared for multiples dogs at once, handled different temperaments, and kept up with structured schedules and cleanliness standards. What sets me apart is my ability to read a dog’s behavior and adjust my care to fit their needs. I’m patient with puppies who are still learning routines and boundaries, and I’m gentle and attentive with senior dogs who may need a slower pace, extra comfort, or closer monitoring. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and treat every dog like they’re my own—making sure they get not just care but attention and affection too. Pets care fits really naturally into my routine. I’m done with school by 1:00 PM every day, so I have the whole afternoon and evening available for walks, drop-ins, or sitting. I do work out a few times a week (Monday and Wednesday from 4:30-5:30 PM, and Sunday mornings at 10:30 AM), but outside of those times I’m very flexible. I’m able to give pets consistent attention, stick to their routines, and be fully present with them instead of rushing in and out. Whether it’s daily walks, check-ins, or longer stays, I have plenty of time in my schedule to make sure they’re all well taken care of. I care for pets by keeping their routine as close to normal as possible so they feel comfortable and stress-free. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications if needed— and make sure they’re getting plenty of attention, not just the basics. I keep things clean, send updates/photos, and make sure your pet feels safe while you’re away.
About: Hi! I’m Emily, a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for pets of all personalities, including shy, special needs, or high-maintenance cats. I provide a calm, safe, and cozy environment where your cat can feel relaxed and loved while you’re away. At my home, cats have plenty of space to explore, lounge, and play. I can provide feeding, litter care, enrichment, and lots of gentle attention. I understand that every cat is unique, so I tailor my care to their personality and needs. My schedule allows me to spend quality time with your furry friend, making sure they feel happy and secure while in my care.
“Kayla has been truly awesome with watching my cats! She is diligent in sending daily Rover Cards with photos, and letting me know how things are going! I trust her completely with my pets!”
“Rebecca is WONDERFUL! She took care of our two cats while we were traveling recently and she really put our minds at ease. She stopped by to meet the cats before our trip so I could go through all the things with her. I highly recommend her and will be using her again in the future. Thank you, Rebecca!”
“Michele was great watching our 2 large dogs for 2 days while we were out of town. She communicated the whole time with updates and photos. Gave great peace of mind!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats my whole life and love providing a safe living home where your animals feel loved and safe. I work from home as a software developer and have plenty of free time to give your fur babies the attention they need. Call me!! We have a full basement with plenty of room to run and play. We also have a backyard that we put our dogs and yours on a leash tethered to the fence to keep them from roaming. Also take frequent walks to stretch their legs!!
“Vainy helped us out with short notice and did an outstanding job! She sent pictures and was very easy to communicate with. My dogs seemed very happy when I picked them up. I would definitely trust her to watch my dogs again!”
“Alec and Aishu, and their lovely dog Winnie, looked after my girl Nova beautifully. She can be a little skittish at first in unfamiliar situations, but she soon settled down and relaxed! She had an amazing time exploring, going for a long walk and playing with her new pal. I appreciated that photos were sent throughout the day.”
“Payton was wonderful! I needed a sitter for the day, kind of last minute. She accommodated me, communicated well, provided updates, and had Bernie come home happy and tired :) It was very clear she loves dogs :)”
About: In addition to caring for my own dogs, I've fostered over 40 dogs including puppies, senior dogs, dogs recovering from surgery, and dogs requiring special behavioral and/or medical assistance. I've recently been approved as a puppy raiser for Canine Companions. I am retired and available during the work day. I know what it's like to worry about your dog getting the exercise and attention they need, my flexibility can work for you. I will have your dog on-leash for any walks or outside time at my home. As the pawrent, I want to follow any directions or suggestions that you have for making your dog comfortable and happy.
About: I’m a dog (and cat!) mom looking for a fun way to keep myself accountable on my health journey! I’m a 41 year old mom to a teenage boy, a 9 year old yorkie mix (Severus), and 8 cats! I’ve been on a journey to better myself for the past year and one thing I make sure I do is get my steps in. I thought it would be a great idea to put myself out there to make some new dog friends and help keep me (and the doggos) getting our exercise in! I work full time from home Monday through Friday from 7am to 330pm. My walking availability is any time after my work day through the week, and open to anytime on the weekends. For sitting/drop ins, please inquire. For boarding, pets will be with me all day and night. I have 10+ years of experience caring for animals, my house is full of love, treats and toys! If you book me for services, you can be assured that same love will be given to your furry friend. Feeding schedules followed as provided by pet parent to ensure your pup is getting the required amount of food. My dog eats freely except when I’m boarding as to not disrupt any schedules. I currently have one dog (Severus), who is a yorkie mix and 10 total cats, some indoor/outdoor/mix. Our home gets hectic but we love our animals and can’t imagine life any differently.
“Kelsey was very communicative and kept me updated on my puppy's social progress. She arrived very shy and returned the next day with confidence. Thank you, Kelsey, for creating an environment that helped Lila come out of her shell!”
“Hayley is so sweet! Has been updating me on a regular about my fur baby and sending pictures. I definitely felt very comfortable and at ease leaving knowing my pup does have a little separation anxiety. Definitely will be back!:)❤️”
About: Hi, I’m Amanda. I’m the owner of Unleashed Peaks, a full-time dog training and behavior coaching business built on calm communication, structure, and trust. Along with training, I also offer structured boarding and daycare in a peaceful, home-style environment where dogs can relax, play, and learn safely. Because I’m a trainer first, everything I do — from playgroups to potty breaks — is intentional. Dogs get enrichment, exercise, and clear routines that build confidence while keeping things fun and low-stress. I follow LIMA (Least Intrusive, Minimally Aversive) principles to make sure every dog feels safe, understood, and respected. I love working with all types of dogs, especially those who need a little extra support or structure while you’re away. Whether your pup is here for the day or a full board and train, they’ll be treated like family. Quirks, goofiness, and all. My goal is simple: for you to come home to a happy, relaxed, and well-adjusted dog who’s had a fulfilling stay and maybe learned a few new skills along the way. I’m home full-time and spend most of my day working with dogs through my business, Unleashed Peaks. Because training and structured care are what I do every day, your dog is never left unattended for long and always part of a calm, consistent routine. Drop-offs and pick-ups are flexible - mornings and early afternoons usually work best, but I’m happy to coordinate around your schedule. Whether your pup is here for daycare or boarding, they’ll get a balance of play, enrichment, rest, and individualized attention throughout the day. Dogs in my care stay in a calm, structured, and enrichment-based environment that helps them feel secure and relaxed. My home is designed with safety in mind, with separate rest areas, and consistent supervision. We have 5 acres of land. Our fence is in progress right now but we have never had an issue! As a full-time trainer, I understand canine body language and group dynamics deeply. I make sure each dog’s play, rest, and social time match their comfort level. New dogs are introduced slowly and respectfully so they can settle in at their own pace. I keep routines predictable and communication clear so dogs always know what to expect. Whether they are here for a day or an extended stay, every dog is treated like family: safe, understood, and cared for.
“The best sitter! I highly recommend Kristol for doggy day care. My shy, little puppy was right at home at Kristol's. I received pictures throughout the day of my sweet pup playing and relaxing. She even helped my girl with her potty training. Trusting someone else with your furbaby can be so stressful! But I completely trust Kristol, and cannot say enough good things!”

About: I have had dogs since the day I was born and am currently mommy to one dog, four cats, two goats and a sassy pet cow. I am located on a three acre farm on the outskirts of town in Marysville, Ohio, and offer services to most surrounding areas. I offer boarding, daycare, house/farm sitting, drop-in visits, dog walking, livestock/exotic care, and more! I can assure you that your pet(s) could not possibly be in better hands!

I care for my clients pets as instructed and love them as if they are my own. Animals rule the world here at the farm and are allowed on all furniture and beds.

About: I care for dogs because I genuinely enjoy spending time with them—it’s not just a job for me, it’s something I look forward to every day. I love getting to know each dog’s personality and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and happy while they’re with me. I live in an area with easy access to walking trails, and daily walks are a big part of my routine. Your dog will get plenty of exercise, fresh air, and enrichment, not just quick potty breaks. I also have experience caring for puppies and can help reinforce basic training during their stay, such as leash walking, routines, and positive behaviors. I’m patient and consistent, and I understand how important structure is—especially for younger dogs. Overall, I treat every dog like my own and focus on giving them attention, activity, and a calm, caring environment. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I already spend a lot of time walking and being outdoors. Dogs in my care get regular walks, attention, and a consistent routine. I’m flexible and can adjust to each dog’s needs. Dogs are allowed to freely walk around in the house. I always make sure to leash them when we go explore the world outside. The walking trails in my neighborhood are well paved and safe.
“Tatyana did a great job providing doggy daycare twice a week! I moved to SC and my son in Dublin, OH took care of Louie for a month while I traveled for work. I was so relieved that Louie was well taken care of and happy when my son was at work! He typically doesn’t like other dogs and Tatyana appropriately introduced him slowly to her dog and they became buddies. Louie looked forward going to her house and he’s an anxious picky pup. I highly recommend her!!”

“Katarinna was absolutely wonderful with Moscow. I really enjoyed her personality and the way she handled Moscow when we did our meet and greet. Moscow is dog reactive which she has experience with, making me feel very comfortable leaving him in her care. She did exactly what I asked her to do and then some! I'm from out a town and she was the only person willing to watch him while I was visiting with some friends. I highly recommend her services and will book again with her if I lived in the area! Thank you Katarinna!”

No matter the needs, I will work to achieve them!
“Kaitlin is fantastic! She’s been looking after Loki our GSD since he was 4 months and now checks in once a day when I’m at the office to give him lovin’s and take him on a walk. She is also incredibly knowledgeable and is a great resource for new pet parents!”

About: I got my first puppy when I was 14 and and I’ve taken great care of him and my other pets since then! I’ve grown up with animals my whole life and I know how to take care of them.

I make sure to leave the clients home in as good condition as I found it. I try to not make any messes and entertain the dogs
“Payton did so well with my 1.5 year old pup Murphy and our newest family member a 5m old puppy Benny! She took them for a nice long walk and made sure to play with them before she left! She also made sure to take my littlest one back out one more time so he could make it until we came home. We have been an anxious mess thinking about who can help is with our new puppy but it’s nice to know we found a walker we can count on !”

About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life! I’ve had Oliver (frenchie) since he was a puppy, so I’m used to everything from training to daily routines. He requires allergy medication, which means I’m comfortable giving meds and paying close attention to a dog’s needs. I also frequently care for my family’s three dogs (two Frenchies and an English bulldog), so I’m great at handling multiple pups and making sure each one gets the attention they deserve. I’m currently working 3rd shift, so if you’re needing someone in the morning to let out your furry pet I can! Or if you want someone home all day with your pet, that works perfect for me as well! I can do walks during the days (after a little nap). I would say I’m pretty flexible if told ahead of time! I live in an apartment and do have a dog named Oliver. Oliver pretty much gets along with other dogs! If you’d rather your dog not be around another, I’d be more than willing to stay with your pets! My cousin would love watching my dog. I love meeting new fur babies and would love to help whenever I can with whatever you need!
About: Hi! I've taken care of animals for about 40 years. I had horses growing up, then my kids got into 4h and I've help raise chicken, turkeys, pigs, and dairy feeders. I've also had numerous big dogs that have lived to be anywhere from 10 to 14 years. We recently rescued our dog harley and we use rover when we go on vacation so I thought I would help others with the stress of worrying about their pets while they are gone. I promise to care for them like they were my own.❤️ I'm not working so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pup! I have open availability to watch ur babies in ur home, have drop in visits, or just go for a walk!! I would prefer to watch pets in your home bc my pet isn't very dog friendly and is very protective of my husband and i.
About: I have always taken care of my own pets and have pet-sat for years, for both dogs and cats. I enjoy walking dogs and caring for them. I am looking for a part-time flexible job that will fit into my current schedule. I am available with notice and can be available early or late. I will only take care of pets in your home. I currently have a dog and 5 cats and could not upset their balance. I enjoy walking with the dogs and playing fetch. I also enjoy down time just talking with them and petting them.

“We left our senior doggie with Kris for the first time and she did an AMAZING job. We honestly couldn’t have found a better person to care for him while we were away. She sent me sweet updates and pictures which helped me feel confident that he was in good hand so that we could enjoy our vacation. We are just beyond grateful to have found this service and Kris. We highly recommend her!!!!”
“She took great care of our girl Sadie, she was great at sending updates and pictures, made our trip worry free. Sadie had a great time with Lauren and her dog Nala! Will definitely use Lauren again!”
“Ashley is a god send and she took care of Bosco just like she’d take care of her own. Bosco had a blast there with her puppers so much so that he refused to get into the car to head home. He was super comfortable and happy at Ashley’s and given a chance he’d be happy to stay there forever. We’re so glad to have found someone like Ashley who takes such good care of the puppies that come for a stay and the puppies know they’re safe, cared for and showered with love. Bosco will definitely return again”
“Tom was amazing! I can say enough great things about my dogs stay. It was a quick weekend trip, but we got lots of updates and pictures of my dog. When I went to pick my dog up, he didn’t want to leave!”
“Our chocolate lab had a wonderful time with Emily! They sent pictures often and she always looked loved and that she was having a great time. She gave us great peace of mind and would definitely not hesitate to use her again!!”
“Kelsey was amazing! I could tell Milo was safe and happy through all of the wonderful pictures she sent to me daily. He had so much fun I was worried he wouldn't want to come home! It was truly a fun vacation for him too. Also, when I dropped him off he was still having a few accidents in the house every now and then, and since he's been home, not one! Highly recommend, thank you so much!!”
“Ashle was INCREDIBLE! I have never left my dog with anyone but family, so Ashle was the first. She sent me texts with photos daily & let me know how Lady was doing. I was out of state for a few days & I felt confident she was not only being taken care of, but loved on as well!”
“Our dog Ninja had a great time with Sally. We're not local to Columbus so it was much appreciated to have someone to look after our dog while we attended a family reunion. Next time we are in the are we will be sure to book Sally again.”
“Angela was wonderful with our dog. He absolutely enjoyed his time with her family with unlimited love and affection! Her fenced backyard was his happy place for playtime, sniffing and bird watching. Overall a perfect stay and he will definitely be back for another vacation!”
“I felt comfortable with Cameo right away and knew my pup was in good hands. I received updates and good reports on how things were going for the week. I would definitely use Cameo again in the future!”
“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!”
“Amazing Care for My Pup! 🐾 We really appreciated the care and patience that Maia provided to Remy who still very much has puppy energy but is already almost full size. Maia provided outstanding care for my dog while I was away. From the moment we met, it was clear how much she genuinely loves and cares about her own dog, Kermit so I was very comfortable leaving Remy in her care. If Maia would be willing to take Remy again, I absolutely would book with her again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for top-notch pet care! 🐶💕”
“We felt very comfortable our pup was getting the best care while staying with Ellen. She had great communication throughout the process and we so appreciated the pic/video updates she shared with us!”
“Emily was great with our dog Sydney. This was her first time being away from us so we were nervous of how she would act. Her and Emily's dog Winter seemed to have the best time playing together! We will definitely reach back out when we're in need of a sitter again.”
“Mary was amazing. My dog Thyon is a sweet but skittish boy. Since making a big move from the country to the city, he has suffered from anxiety which he needed to be medicated for. I tried traditional boarding facilities however they were not a good fit. There were too many loud noises and he always came home stressed and nervous. Mary provided a wonderful environment. Not only was he able to quickly adapt and feel comfortable, but he seemed to thrived there. He was running in the yard with her dog Elle. Which he has not done since we moved months ago. I have finally found a place where I am comfortable to leave my boy and know he’s being well cared for. Thanks Mary!”
“We had a great experience booking with Michelle & Nicholas! We did a meet and greet to see how our dog Flynn and their dog Waffles would get along, and they became good buddies! Michelle & Nicholas sent daily updates with lots of photos. They have a fenced in backyard that our Flynny loved exploring. We would highly recommend & plan to book again!”
“Sorillian proved to be very caring and responsive to Bo’s needs. Bo is dealing with allergy issues and Sorillian administered medication and kept Bo’s cone on while he healed. She also sent daily pictures and updates so we could stay informed. We appreciated her compassion and professionalism. We would highly recommend Sorillian to others.”
“My miniature Goldendoodle was in great spirits after her 7-day stay. I got plenty of updates. No issues were noted with her care. I would highly recommend them to anyone!”
