About: Energetic nurse, dedicated pet parent, and lifelong animal lover here to give your furry family members the royal treatment! I have a 1.5-year-old medium size rescue, whom I’ve trained from day one. I fully understand the wild puppy phase, the endless energy, and just how much patience (and love!) it takes to raise a well-behaved dog. Thanks to my super active lifestyle, your pets will always get plenty of fun exercise, zoomies, and playtime to keep their tails wagging. I have 100+ volunteer hours at the Franklin County Dog Shelter under my belt, working with pups of every size, personality, and energy level. Plus, as a nurse, I bring an extra layer of expert care to the table—I’m completely comfortable administering oral meds to cats and dogs, as well as handling injections. Whether your pet needs an adventurous brisk walk, a precise medical routine, or just heaps of love, I’m ready to make their time away from you absolute perfection! I am a nurse so on my days off I have basically the entire day wide open. I am a very active person and love going on walks. I am very flexible on time so whatever is best for your pet I can work the rest of my schedule around that! As a volunteer at the Franklin County Dog Shelter I have received training on how to handle, crate, walk, and feed dogs of all behavioral styles. I have gained over 100+ hours of volunteering at the shelter which has given me the confidence and experience to care for dogs of all type. As a nurse I am all about safety and will care for your pet in a way that makes both you and the pet feel safe and comfortable.
About: I’ve grown up with small and big dogs around, and now have a sweet medium sized girl of my own! I have a passion for the care and keeping of all dogs, and my pup will happily accept any new play dates! I work a hybrid job and am home Monday - Thursday. On Fridays, I will typically go into office anywhere from 4-6 hours out of the day. Otherwise, I’m home sending emails in between walking and playing with pups! At my home, it is nothing but me, my pup & plenty of room for love and play! I am able to crate, potty train, walk and train your pets if need be! I take walks around my neighborhood daily, and am able to accommodate to your pets needs whatever they may be.
“Nicole was great! My dog adored her and her dog and excitedly waited by the door in the morning to go to day care while I worked for a few weeks in Manhattan Beach. She was very flexible with timing and accommodating. If I lived nearby I would book with Nicole frequently.”
About: Over a year of experience with pet sitting through PetButler, caring for all types of animals. Walking and drop in visits were done. Dog daycare experience as well. Good communication and strive to provide the best experience for your pet. I am available throughout the week, although I am a student the only conflict I have is Mondays around 4-5. So very open during the week and some weekend availability. At your home I will follow instructions carefully to ensure the safety of your pet. Whether that’s using a leash, harness, or keeping them in a fenced in area.
About: Hi, I'm Daniel, and dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember! I've cared for up to three dogs at once and even bred one of my own, who had a litter of eight puppies. That experience gave me a deep understanding of dogs at every stage of life, from newborns to adults. Your pup will be in experienced, loving hands with me! I work from home, so I am able to spend quality time with your dog and take them out on a regular cadence. I am flexible with my schedule. I live in a house with a fenced-in yard, so your dog will also have the opportunity to roam around off-leash. I keep pets safe by ensuring secure, escape-proof spaces, maintaining their normal routine, and giving them constant attention and affection in a calm, comfortable environment they can feel at home in.

About: I have taken care of many different sizes and ages of cats and dogs, and I can also accommodate for special care instructions as well.

I can accommodate to any health needs for your pet. I have large areas for them to play in, and I have experience with larger breeds as well.
“Kevin was absolutely wonderful with Bronx and Sasha (who barked at him and was a bit stand-offish). He accepted Sasha who was in heat at the last moment. He kept the pups for an extra hour for us, which we appreciated very much! Dogs were returned to us completely exhausted, happy, and ready for bed. I would definitely recommend Kevin for any of your pet needs. We'll definitely be back next time in Ohio!”

About: I’m currently a graduate student at The Ohio State University, and alongside my academic work, caring for dogs has always been a big part of my life. I’ve owned and cared for a variety of dogs of many different breeds and sizes. Growing up and into adulthood, I’ve gained hands-on experience with daily walks, feeding schedules, and playtime. I understand how important it is to maintain your dog’s routine and make them feel comfortable while you’re away. As both a responsible graduate student and a lifelong dog owner, I bring reliability, organization, and genuine care to every visit. My goal is too make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and well cared for, and to give you peace of mind while you’re away! As a graduate student at The Ohio State University, I’m only in class for a portion of the day Monday through Thursday, which gives me consistent flexibility throughout the week. I’ve included my class schedule to be fully transparent about my availability: -Mondays 8am-4pm -Tuesdays 8am-12pm -Thursdays 8am-4pm My Wednesdays will be open until October, and Fri/Sat/Sun are generally open! Outside of class, my schedule is structured but open, allowing me to plan pet care visits, walks, and check-ins reliably. When caring for pets in other homes, I prioritize keeping their routine as normal and consistent as possible. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, walk times, medications, and any specific preferences your pet may have. My goal is to make them feel safe and comfortable in their own environment.

About: I’ve worked with animals of all sizes, from the smallest neonates to the largest of dogs! I am a college student studying biological sciences on a pre-med track. Outside of school, animals are my passion. I worked at a high volume emergency animal hospital for 3 years, and have previously worked in pet boarding & daycare! Each day, I dedicate time to feeding, walking, playing, and checking in on the pets in my care, ensuring they feel safe, stimulated, and loved. My routine is flexible and centered around their needs, whether that means early morning walks, midday playtime, or evening cuddles. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and nurturing environment tailored to each pet’s routine and personality. I keep things clean, stick to established routines, and provide regular updates with photos and notes. Whether it's feeding, administering medication, or giving extra belly rubs, I treat every pet like part of my family.
“Taylor has been very helpful. She has come and walked our very energetic dog on a weekly basis and I have had 0 difficulties getting ahold of her or getting feedback about how everything went. She is very sweet and a great choice for your pet!”
About: Since I was 9, I have been the trusted neighborhood dog walker and sitter, because of my deep understanding and love for the individual animal. I meet the pet where they are. Owners say I have a calming presence for their anxious pets, or fun, outdoorsy, playful energy for the more high energy pet. I see the animal for who they are. I work as a substitute teacher so I can pick my schedules, and work around any kind of pet-sitting task. The animals come first, so I will plan my schedule around them. I am big on dog safety, so that means for me, making sure the fence is locked and shut, and no dangerous obstacles (food, fallen unsafe debris) in the yard. House stays locked when I am not in it, even when it is a walk around the block. I keep clients homes clean as well, making sure there is not mess from their pet, as well as myself.
“Caleb was absolutely wonderful with my babies! All the pets loved Caleb, they were always on time, got some great photos, and were excellent with communication. I felt very secure going away for the weekend knowing my babies were being well looked after. I highly recommend Caleb to anyone looking for a sitter!”
About: I have been a dog lover all my life and will treat your pet like my own. I have grown up with many pets, and I trained service dogs for several years. I have extensive experience handling all types of dogs, and I will give your dog all the activity, attention, and care they need. My goal is to make sure your dog enjoys their time with me and is as comfortable as possible. I will maintain any schedules you have, and I am able to run with your dog, play fetch, and give them lots of love! I work a hybrid schedule so I am flexible and open to be available when your dog may need a walk or some company.
About: Throughout my whole life I have been around dogs and cats. I have helped with feeding, grooming, giving medication, and of course love! At one point I had a three legged dog and had to help assist with her physical needs as well. Animals are such an important part of so many lives and being able to care for them and be around them is something that I would never take for granted. I am reliable and always ready to do what is needed. I hope to make your pets day and to show how important and rewarding loving does to an animal! I am currently a college student home for the summer looking for a part time job with taking care of animals. I’m available all day and if needed I can always work around your schedule and pick up days. I have had St. Bernards so I am good with larger dog breeds and controlling them. I’m also comfortable with smaller dog breeds and cats. Whether it is going on walks or stopping by to say hi to your fur babies, I am more than happy to take excellent care of them.
“This is our second time booking with Emma, and we'll happily book with her again in the future. We had good communication, the walks were for the agreed upon amount of time, and we always came home to a happy dog!”

We will absolutely be booking with Ally anytime we need a dog sitter in the future!!”
