“Ann was so great with Maycey, playing her favorite games, and giving her a lot of outdoor time so she could exert her energy! Great pictures too. I could see my girl was very happy 😊”


“Paige was a fantastic dog sitter. We have two dogs who aren’t the best with strangers, but during the meet and greet she made them feel comfortable and did very well with them. She was so communicative during the stay, updated with pictures, and asked about certain behaviors to ensure she wasn’t letting bad behavior happen. She was so so amazing and definitely recommend!!!”


“Allison is absolutely awesome! She stayed over at our home with our two dogs and cat and everything went so well. The pets all just love her and it was easy to see from her messages and pictures that she took great care of our pets and our home. We all look forward to having Allison come again the next time a need arises!”


“Ryn was so incredibly kind and accommodating with a last minute booking. She came to meet the dogs beforehand, and then spent the day with them while we were out of town. She kept us updated and left our home exactly as she left it. Would book with her again in a heartbeat! Thank you Ryn!”


“Rebecca was amazing! She was so patient and calm with my little guy. It took a bit for him to warm up. She didn’t bat an eye at all my requests or learning how to walk a cat. 😁 She sent daily updates with pictures. Rebecca stayed overnight for a week and I’m pretty sure she left the place cleaner than I left it. She even went the extra mile to stay a bit longer when my flight came in late and turned the lights on so I didn’t come home to a dark space. The little guy is happy, clean and healthy. I was able to really relax during vacation knowing everything was taken care of at home. I will definitely ask Rebecca to come stay again the next time I go out of town.”


“Lily was very friendly and was available rather last minute which made our lives so much easier! She was communicative and followed instructions perfectly. Would recommend her for any pet needs :)”


“Max was overall a great sitter for our 2 pittys. He was responsive to messages and sent photos. He also watered the plants, took out the recycling, and the kitchen was cleaner than I left it. He went out of his way to be helpful and the dogs seemed well cared for while we were away! We already have him booked for another sit in May!”


“Patty did an outstanding job sitting with my dogs! It was my first time to leave them since moving to Columbus, but there was no need for concern. She was fantastic with them. Definitely will keep her in mind for the future!”


“Emily is amazing and so sweet! This was our first time using Rover and I was so nervous—we always get nervous leaving our babies, but Emily made this trip less stressful for us. I would definitely book with her again! Our dogs were well taken care of, as well as our home! She followed all instructions to a tee and even went above and beyond! We also appreciated her sending lots of updates, photos, & videos!”


“I cannot recommend Alexandria highly enough for her outstanding care of my dog, Topi. I needed help on very short notice, and Alexandria stepped in without hesitation. She was absolutely wonderful with Topi, showing great affection and attentiveness. Topi was happy and well-cared for during my absence, and it was such a relief to know she was in such capable hands. Thank you, Alexandria, for your exceptional care and kindness!”


About: I have a soft spot for all animals big and small. I helped raise my family dog, Finn, who is now a 10 year old Morkie. Multiple friends have trusted me to walk and pet sit their animals and I have experience with small and large breeds. I have also volunteered for 2 years with 4 Paws for Ability, an organization that trains puppies to become service dogs. I am an owner of a black cat named Sesame who I adopted from a cat cafe earlier this year. I am currently a healthcare professional who just graduated school. I am waiting to start a job at the end of October, so I have some free time in the next few months I’m looking to fill with lots of walks and scratches. Safety is my number one priority for your pet and myself. I am good with communication and as a pet owner myself, I understand how much pets mean to us.

“Brittany did a great job caring for my pups while I was out of town! She provided my updates and pictures each day. I would use Brittany again in the future!”


About: I’ve been a proud dog mom my whole life, caring for my two pups throughout their lives, gaining hands on experience with everything from daily routines to unexpected 3am situations. Over the years, family and friends have regularly entrusted me with their pets, whether for a quick visit or extended stays. I understand how important it is to feel confident when leaving your pet in someone else’s care. You can count on me to provide attentive, realistic me and compassionate care with plenty of exercise and affection. My goal is to make sure your dog feels comfortable, happy and safe so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I work full-time but have the flexibility of working from home on Mondays and Fridays, which allows me to provide attentive care throughout the day. Even on days I’m in office, I’m available in the evenings and early mornings for walks, feedings and check-ins. I’m also completely free on weekends, making me a great fit for overnight stays, longer visits, or more active care when needed. I plan my schedule with plenty of time built in to ensure every pet gets the attention and care they deserve. Wherever I’m caring for pets, safety and trust are always my top priority. I take time to understand your pets needs, routine and personality. I make sure to respect your space while maintaining your pets normal routine to help them feel secure and comfortable.

“This is one of the best pet sitters I’ve ever had… Her communications were amazing- she took tons of photos showed concern and questions when the dogs acted in a way she wasn’t sure… Just in general she treated them as if they were her own. She was a phenomenal sitter and I will definitely use her again!”


“Kristin was the absolute best! She took such great care of Benji, made sure he had everything he needed, and even sent me picture updates throughout the stay! I came back home to a very VERY happy pup :)”


“Sheridan helped me last minute when my previous sitter had to cancel on me. She responded promptly, was attentive, and gave great updates. I’m extremely appreciative of her help!”
