Personalized care for your dog or cat - Kennard
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Kennard
“Nicole took such good care of my boy Sunshine. She went above and beyond to help him spend his first week away from me including helping him with eating and sleeping anxiety. She sent me messages and pics or videos every day to let me know how he was doing. He was clearly having a ton of fun playing with her sweet pups in her lovely and safe back yard and her cozy home. She is a true dog lover and Sunshine came home happy and exhausted! I will definitely contact her again in the future.”
“Chase had an absolute blast staying with Kris. He got along with her pup, Gideon, so well. I had a little anxiety because Chase is only 4 months old and i know what trouble he gets into at home, but Kris wasn’t worried at all. Early morning potty break, puppy biting, occasional accidents - she was game for it all. It’s such a relief to have a place that Chase can stay while we’re away and not have to worry at all. Thanks, Kris and Gideon.”
“Absolutely AMAZING! I had to book at the last minute, and not only was she accommodating, but she also loved my energetic pup like no other. She went above and beyond to share photos and updates while we were on vacation. I never had to worry if he was in good hands b/c he was having the time of his life. I will use Ashley for all my pup daycare needs. She was awesome to work with and loved and cared for my pup. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!”
“This was my very first time boarding my 11-year-old Shih Tzu, Biscuit. I originally booked only 2 nights with Kristi but ended up extending for another night because my plans were disrupted by traffic and an accident on the way back from Chicago to Ohio. Kristi is very accommodating, and I can honestly say that her whole family took excellent care of Biscuit. She constantly kept me updated with texts, photos, and videos of Biscuit, which made me feel very at ease. Thank you so much, Kristi! I will definitely contact you again to board Biscuit with you!”
“Daisy and her husband are my favorite dog sitters for my little long haired dachshund, Lilly. She is very old, and sensitive. They know how to care for her well, and she loves them. This was her second visit, and she was comfortable and felt right at home immediately. I’m so thankful for them. ❤️”
“This was the first time using Kristi for boarding my dog. She took me on a tour of the kennel and explained her services before I left my dog. She sent updates during my week of boarding. I would not hesitate to leave my dog with her in the future.”
“Eido started yipping and barking as soon as we turned on the street to Tina's house. He knew where he was going and I wasn't driving fast enough. LOL! He is always so excited to stay with Tina and her pups and didn't even care when I was trying to say goodbye. The next day he came home so tired from all the fun. Tina is most excellent! I know my boy is loved and cared for. Thank you!!”
“Tom was great with Clyde! This was only a one night boarding, but Tom sent plenty of pictures and a video. I will definitely be using Tom again for a one nighter or a longer boarding of Clyde.”
“Tami was wonderful with our poodle! She was good at communicating with us during our time away, and it was reassuring coming home to an unstressed dog. Thank you, Tami! Hopefully Tami will allow us to share our dog with her again.”
“Rui was fantastic with Snoopy who can be overly joyous and loving. She sent photos of Snoopy and her dog Misty spending time together which were fantastic to receive during our holiday. It was so reassuring to know Snoopy was in good hands and had a playmate while we were out of town.”
“Claudia watched Junior while I was on a vacation overseas. He got along so well with her and her fur baby that I had no concerns while I was away. She sent tons of pics letting me know he was having a good time. Lastly, I had some issues that affected my pick up time & she was very understanding of the situation. Highly recommend & I would book future stays with Claudia.”
“THE BEST EVER. Took care of my 1 year cavapoo like their own. So many pictures and updates and my honeybun felt so loved. I was so nervous because this was her first time staying with someone and she had a ball! huge backyard and so many cuddles”
“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!”
“I cannot say enough about how wonderful Brittany was with our pup, Hazel. Hazel is pretty sensitive and this was a new experience for her. We had no idea she would develop some anxiety during our time away as we had only left her one other time. During the first 12 hours of her stay, Brittany recognized there was an issue as Hazel hadn’t gone potty once. She notified me right away and continued to keep me updated throughout the day. We decided it would be best for the vet to check her out. Brittany couldn’t have been more accommodating during this whole situation. She brought her to our vet as soon as they could see her. It was determined she was just anxious in a new environment and they provided some medication to help her relax, which Brittany gave her throughout the week. The issue resolved quickly after. I am SO grateful that she was so attentive and recognized the issue so quickly. Brittany continued to keep a close eye on her and kept us updated all week. She provided many pictures and videos, which we loved. I know she was in great care while we were away. Brittany’s dog, Lola, was also so sweet and welcoming to our girl. Brittany will absolutely be the first person we ask the next time we need care for Hazel. I couldn’t recommend her more. She is THE best.”
“Vainy was wonderful with our dog Ollie. This was the first time using Rover so I was apprehensive but Vainy kept us continually updated with photos with Ollie going for walks, taking naps etc.”

“Krista took fantastic care of my kitty, Girly, while I was away on vacation. She sent pictures every day, so that I could see Girly was happy and doing great. This is the second time she has taken care of Girly, and both times I was able to relax and enjoy my vacations knowing Girly was in very good hands. Thanks Krista!”
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.
About: I have had dogs in my household my entire life, currently with 3 rescues of my own, that have been trained with cute tricks to make you laugh and melt your heart. I have been entrusted with friends and pet clients over the years to care for their pets while they are away from home and would like to offer the same to you. I have a large fenced in backyard with room to run and beds for lounging. I can administer medications (oral, topical, and injections), take for walks, and offer other special instructions as needed. I have provided specialty care with senior dogs. I’m currently working from home (WFH), so I am available for daycare from morning through early evening during the week, as well as potential boarding if coordinated. Weekend boarding/daycare arrangements can also be made. I have a fully fenced in backyard with three friendly pups of my own to offer play and companionship. If you choose to have your dog crated at times to match their home routine, I can accommodate that if needed.
“Jessica was absolutely wonderful and incredibly dependable, always arriving right on time. She took the extra effort to truly get to know our cat’s personality and asked thoughtful questions that put us completely at ease. With her great communication and genuine care, we knew our furry friend was in the best possible hands. Plus, she noticed out-of-the-ordinary behavior and alerted us immediately. 5 stars and highly recommend!”
“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!”
“Katarinna was fantastic. My cat Shadow loved her. She was dependable and very thorough. We really enjoyed the videos and feedback provided by Katarinna. She was great and we will use her again.”
About: My family has 3 cats. All were rescued from the street.. Our momma Opal was a stray, who gave birth to Simba. He's been hand raised and adored since day 1. Slater, our tiny guy was found abandoned in a bush at less than 5 weeks old and now at 2yrs old is just mommy's (my) baby! All 3 of our kitties and their unique stories have equipped me with years of experience on how to love and take care each and every other special kitty out there.
“First time using Kylie to watch our dog and went very well. We will definitely look to rebook for our next trip. Did well with our dog, kept the house tidy, and was very informative. Highly recommend.”
“Jayson was great with our high energy Australian shepherd while we were gone. He threw the frisbee with her every day even though it was freezing cold! He was very reliable and easy to work with!”
About: I've cared for many pets during my life including exotics, cats, dogs, and birds in all age groups from babies to seniors. I will treat your fur babies like my own. I am currently retired with my husband. We eschool our twin boys during the day. I can pop out to do pet care and have a flexible schedule. We do travel a lot during school breaks and in the summer. I am eager to help out with home visits or walks. I enjoy all kinds of pets and don't shy away from those who need special care. Typically I visit dogs in their homes three times per day at whatever schedule works best for the pet and me. Some may need more or less visits and I can be flexible. I do not care for dogs or cats in my home. My two cats don't like other pets, unless it's a pet that lives in a small crate or cage, such as a guinea pig.
“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!”
“Before working with Amanda, Ranger was reactive and unsure of new people, so finding someone to watch him was stressful. Now he absolutely loves staying with her. She understands his personality and keeps things structured but fun, which helps him stay calm and confident. Amanda updates me throughout his stay and even keeps up with his training while we’re gone. He always comes home happy, relaxed, and better than ever. I wouldn’t trust anyone else!”
About: I have about 10 years of caring for pets, from cats, dogs and even rodents! I also have experience in giving vaccines and pills to animals. I have fostered and rescued animals over the years, I know how to care for new born puppies/kittens. I am currently working part time and doing online school part time. I have plenty of time to help with your pets, whether it’s walking or staying over night with them! My husband and I have 1 dog and 3 cats, my parents live with us, they have a dog and a cat. Everyone gets along great.
About: I’ve been around cats my entire life and truly understand how unique and special their personalities can be. From playful kittens to independent seniors, I’ve cared for cats of all temperaments. I currently have a cat named Eddie, who is 7 years old, and a 2-year-old female cat, Pheobe. I love both of them deeply, and they have taught me so much about the importance of patience, routine, and affection in cat care. Whether your cat loves to cuddle or prefers space, I’ll make sure they feel safe, respected, and cared for while you’re away.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Kennard
“Nicole was wonderful taking care of my greyhound, Buttercup. There was excellent communication before and during the visit and as someone like myself that hasn’t taken a dog for daycare, I was so happy how easy it was with your service. My dog loved Nicole and I would highly recommend her.”
“Kristol was the perfect dog sitter. Very warm and welcoming to us and our fur babies. My dog had never been to a dog sitter before, but everything was perfect. My dog felt very comfortable there and did great. Kristol sent several photos, which made me feel better. I would use Kristol's service anytime I could. Recommend her highly.”
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.

“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.”
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 10 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.
“Angel is very good with dogs, caring and empathetic to their needs. She was also friendly and helpful to us personally as out-of-towners. Hers is more of a boarding situation with a separate building and individual kennels with several dogs present. This was intimidating for both of our smaller dogs, especially our rescue, but they calmed after a bit. Angel did put them in a back kennel away from the other dogs which helped.”
“He’s FABULOUS! My dog has not been boarded for years and coming to Tom’s home was easy for him. Tom took the time to meet us before he came to stay long term, so when Max saw Tom he was all happy tag wags! This is a miraculous event. I expected Max to be shy and back away, but he trotted into the house like he was an old friend. I am so grateful for Tom!”
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.
“Beth was amazing with our dog and we couldn’t be happier with the care that she provided him for day care - treating him like her own. He was so excited to see her each day. She was also very responsive, sending updates and pictures each day. We would highly recommend her for any dog sitting/day care needs!”

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.
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! They will get all the love and attention that I would give my own ....and then some. I look forward to caring for your furred, feathered, hooved, and scaled family members real soon! :) My life and schedule is centered around my animals. I own a trailer rental company and can alter my schedule however is needed to make sure all animals in my care and on my schedule are well cared for. 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. Roughly an acre is securely chain link fenced and gated for plenty of outdoor exercise, weather permitting.
About: I've cared for many pets during my life including exotics, cats, dogs, and birds in all age groups from babies to seniors. I will treat your fur babies like my own. I am currently retired with my husband. We eschool our twin boys during the day. I can pop out to do pet care and have a flexible schedule. We do travel a lot during school breaks and in the summer. I am eager to help out with home visits or walks. I enjoy all kinds of pets and don't shy away from those who need special care. Typically I visit dogs in their homes three times per day at whatever schedule works best for the pet and me. Some may need more or less visits and I can be flexible. I do not care for dogs or cats in my home. My two cats don't like other pets, unless it's a pet that lives in a small crate or cage, such as a guinea pig.
About: I’m a born animal lover! Have had and cared for animals my entire life. Any and all animals from wild to domestic are my ultimate passion in life. I promise to care for your pets at the highest level in order to give you peace of mind while you’re apart from them. I’m dependable, reliable, responsible, easy to work with/communicate with, I’m a diverse person who is comfortable in any setting and I’m very solution oriented. I hope you’ll give me an opportunity to help out with your animals. I’ve just recently relocated here to Columbus,OH area from Los Angeles California. I’m looking to help others with their pets because animals are my life’s passion! I’ve taken care of pets consistently for 10+ years and it simply never grows old. I have full open availability and I am very flexible and understanding. I’m easy to communicate with. At this time I can offer services at clients homes. I have two dogs of my own and so I am able to give your pets the one on one attention that they need I provide care in clients homes. I’ve found that pets do best with a sitter when they are inside of their domain.
“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!”

“Nicole took such good care of my boy Sunshine. She went above and beyond to help him spend his first week away from me including helping him with eating and sleeping anxiety. She sent me messages and pics or videos every day to let me know how he was doing. He was clearly having a ton of fun playing with her sweet pups in her lovely and safe back yard and her cozy home. She is a true dog lover and Sunshine came home happy and exhausted! I will definitely contact her again in the future.”
“Chase had an absolute blast staying with Kris. He got along with her pup, Gideon, so well. I had a little anxiety because Chase is only 4 months old and i know what trouble he gets into at home, but Kris wasn’t worried at all. Early morning potty break, puppy biting, occasional accidents - she was game for it all. It’s such a relief to have a place that Chase can stay while we’re away and not have to worry at all. Thanks, Kris and Gideon.”
“Absolutely AMAZING! I had to book at the last minute, and not only was she accommodating, but she also loved my energetic pup like no other. She went above and beyond to share photos and updates while we were on vacation. I never had to worry if he was in good hands b/c he was having the time of his life. I will use Ashley for all my pup daycare needs. She was awesome to work with and loved and cared for my pup. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!”
“This was my very first time boarding my 11-year-old Shih Tzu, Biscuit. I originally booked only 2 nights with Kristi but ended up extending for another night because my plans were disrupted by traffic and an accident on the way back from Chicago to Ohio. Kristi is very accommodating, and I can honestly say that her whole family took excellent care of Biscuit. She constantly kept me updated with texts, photos, and videos of Biscuit, which made me feel very at ease. Thank you so much, Kristi! I will definitely contact you again to board Biscuit with you!”
“Daisy and her husband are my favorite dog sitters for my little long haired dachshund, Lilly. She is very old, and sensitive. They know how to care for her well, and she loves them. This was her second visit, and she was comfortable and felt right at home immediately. I’m so thankful for them. ❤️”
“This was the first time using Kristi for boarding my dog. She took me on a tour of the kennel and explained her services before I left my dog. She sent updates during my week of boarding. I would not hesitate to leave my dog with her in the future.”
“Tom was great with Clyde! This was only a one night boarding, but Tom sent plenty of pictures and a video. I will definitely be using Tom again for a one nighter or a longer boarding of Clyde.”
“THE BEST EVER. Took care of my 1 year cavapoo like their own. So many pictures and updates and my honeybun felt so loved. I was so nervous because this was her first time staying with someone and she had a ball! huge backyard and so many cuddles”
“Emily was fantastic with our dogs! She was so organized, kept us updated on the boys, and her set up for them was phenomenal. It gave us such peace of mind that they were safe, well cared for, and happy. I did not have a single worry when they were with her and I will absolutely be booking with her again. Thanks Emily!”
“Moose loved staying with Monica and her pets. Monica was super friendly, responsive and sent a ton of cute pics of our Lab puppy playing with her animals. We will definitely book again!”
“Maia took wonderful care of Lady while we were away. She kept us updated, treated her like family, and we came home to a happy, well-cared-for pup. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommend!”

“I cannot speak highly enough of our experience with Amanda. She watched our 2 dogs this week, 2 separate times that we needed to travel overnight. You can tell she genuinely adores every dog she cares for and she is so great about sending updates and pictures. I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for peace of mind when they have to be away from their fur babies.”
