“Emily took wonderful care of Aria - I've never seen her more comfortable and relaxed at someone else's house! Received plenty of pictures and updates, was so happy to see that she felt right at home. Would highly recommend and will definitely be using Emily again.”
“I am so happy I chose Zach to watch my little finfin. He's was very caring, loving, and attentive to my little fin. Zach was very friendly and listened to all my concerns and care instructions. Also, he provided me with continuous updates and pictures of my finfin. He lives in a house with a fenced in back yard, which was a plus. In addition, he has two amazing, loving little dogs that kept my finfin company while I was away! I absolutely recommend Zach to watch your ? dog!”
“Nicholas and Emily are great pet sitters! They are timely communicators, thorough and prompt! I greatly appreciate that they have a dog-loving family as I can see my dog Luna happily engages with them and their kids!”
About: I’ve had many different types of dogs throughout my life. More recently I’ve helped care for and watch friends and family members pets while away. I have bathed and groomed my own dog for the last 5+ years. We love long walks, playtime, and most of all the zoomies. My daughter also loves to snuggle and play with any dog that will have her! Due to my daughter’s allergies I am boarding doodles and hypoallergenic dogs only. If we could host all dogs, trust me we would! I currently work full-time Monday-Friday, but I am able to take pets into the office with me any day but weekend stays are preferred. Animals make me happy and any day is better with a dog friend around! I have a flexible schedule and am excited to help care for your pet! I have a large unfenced side yard for pets to explore and potty. A pet friendly neighborhood where lots of dogs are walked at all times of the day. Your pets have free range to my condo minus the basement and are welcome to snuggle up on the couch or bed!
“Our dogs were well taken care of by Lori. She sent us pictures everyday. She even gave our dog a bath the day we were picking up. Thank you for making our vacation stress free.”
“We had a great experience with Ashley Communication was excellent throughout, and they were very patient and attentive with our dog. Everything was clean and well taken care of. We're very happy with the service and would definitely recommend!”
“My dog had a wonderful stay with Carly! She was flexible with drop off and pick up times, took him for several long walks, played with him, and sent great photo/video updates! She even wrote him a little report card 🥹 She went above and beyond and my pup can’t wait to visit her again! Thank you so much!”
“Tharatip & Daniel did a fantastic job sitting for Chewie! They sent several pics and videos over the weekend while they watched her. They were treating her like part of their family which is what we were looking for. Thanks again!”
About: I grew up with 4+ dogs at a time. I have had or taken care of all types of dog breeds. No longer having a dog of my own I am ready to love on your fur babies while you are away like they are my own! I currently work part time and have the mid day off, this is the perfect time to come walk and play with your pup! Most days I work a few hours in the morning and evening giving me flexibility to take care of your baby/babies! I currently live in an apartment but love to go for walks, my apartment also has a big fenced in dog area. If coming to your home im ready to play fetch, go for walks, and car for your fur baby!
“Will definitely be bringing my pup back to Lindsay! She was responsive, gave updates, and very friendly. I felt reassured and secure while he was in Lindsay’s care😊highly recommend!”
“Allison is wonderful! She was very communicative before and during Oz’s stay and was serious about understanding his routines and habits. We felt great knowing he was getting her full attention for walks, snuggles, and care! Highly recommend!!”
“Rayann was absolutely amazing with my girls, who admittedly are a handful. She and her family made them feel as loved and cared for as we do, and was happy to keep us updated on how they did during their stay.”
“This was our second time using Liwei to take care of our pups while away and she was just as excellent as the first time. Frequent updates and meaningful interactions with our pets while they stayed there. We fully recommend her services and will undoubtedly continue to request her in the future!”
“Kirsten and Nicolas were great! They sent pics during the whole stay and were very communicative. They also have a fenced in back yard that they let the dogs run around in. They updated us when the pups appetites were low, which I really appreciated. Both of our dogs tend to be anxious without us because they aren’t used to used to being alone, so it was also a big plus that they work from home. In the past we have had to send our pups to kennels because we don’t have friends or family near by who can watch them. They would be locked in a kennel all day and we would literally have to pay extra for belly rubs or time out of the kennel. I usually feel uneasy the whole trip but not this time. I could tell they were well taken care of and treated like one of their own. Thank you so much Kirsten and Nicolas!”
“Such a fantastic experience! She is a super accommodating with a last minute schedule change due to a flight cancellation. ann took wonderful care of our dog and kept us updated. We couldn't have asked for a better boarder!”
“Angie was wonderful with our one year old mini bernedoodle Reggie. This was only the second time he stayed in someone’s house and the first time with Angie ! She’s a happy, very positive person and gave Reggie lots of TLC while we were away. She also had to administer pills to him and she wasn’t bothered by that at all. We plan to use her services again in January 2026.”
“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!”
“Maolin was the best and took such good care of Avery! She sent daily updates of their adventures on walks and to the dog park. With her we knew our pup was safe and happy over a long trip out of town!”

Oh my goodness - I couldn’t have picked anyone better to have watched my little guy while I was gone. They were available for me at short notice, were super accommodating, and sent updates with videos and pictures throughout his stay. I would highly recommend them if you want your dog to be treated like family while you are away - you couldn’t ask for better!!
Lovie was amazing with Roxie! She was super communicative throughout the stay and sent plenty of pictures and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. Most importantly, Roxie absolutely loved her! I would definitely recommend Lovie and would happily book with her again.
Rose (Ashley Rose) did an AMAZING job with Hope's first overnight experience! Rose is so attentive to Hope, and notices right away what she may need or want. Hope is a rescue, and she is very timid and shy, but she did GREAT on her first overnight stay, thanks to Rose's attentive care. I cannot thank Rose enough for taking such good care of my baby!
Leslie watched our 2 dogs for 1 week this summer and i could not have felt more comfortable. Leslie is very thorough in her process and extremely tentative to monitoring the dogs and their behaviors to make sure they are comfortable. She sent us pictures and videos everyday and gave us updates on what they did. We will for sure be using Leslie again for future boarding needs.
Tyra took great care of Rocky! She was always responsive, kept me updated throughout his stay, and regularly sent photos and videos, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. Rocky had a great time playing with her dogs and came home happy and relaxed. It was clear that he was well cared for and got plenty of attention. I would definitely book with Tyra again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!
Repeat customer! My pup feels right at home with Jerad and Sarah. I really appreciate the frequent photo updates, their flexibility with scheduling, and the care they show while she's in their home. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy dog sitters.
We had a wonderful experience with Sarah! Our pups came home happy, healthy, and clearly well-loved. We were especially nervous about leaving our new rescue, but Sarah’s frequent updates and photos completely put our minds at ease. It was such a relief to see them settling in so well. We can’t recommend her enough! 😊
Olivia and Josh were absolutely amazing with Cookie! They kept us updated with pictures, and consistently let my partner and I know how she was doing throughout the stay. We could tell Cookie was comfortable and happy with them the entire twelve days they watched her, which is always what you want out of a pet sitter. We would always recommend trusting Olivia and Josh with your fur baby ❤️

95% of sitters in Westerville can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Westerville home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Westerville.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Westerville sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.

While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in OH ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
