“Samantha took great care of two Labs and sent us lots of pictures, which we greatly appreciated! At the last minute, we had to ask her to drop off our sick cat at our Vet's office the day we left on our trip and she gladly did it. The next day, on her own initiative, she visited our cat at the Vet's office to give him some TLC.”


“My dog loved Erica! After she watched him for a weekend, he whimpered when she left. She was very easy to communicate with, sent pictures of my pup, and left the house clean and tidy. I would definitely recommend her!”


“Kiera did a fantastic job watching my energetic shepherd! In addition to the care she provided, she demonstrated excellent communication with me. I had an easy vacation because I knew Skie was in good hands while I was away.”


“Ben provided an extended time (12 days) house-sitting both our dogs and home. He was very responsive and responsible. I highly recommend Ben… he's extremely courteous and conscientious.”


“Brittany was well loved by our pups and Brittany loved our pups while we were gone. We were especially grateful when our dogs injury re-emerged while we were gone she picked up medicine and administered it until we returned home.”


“Donald was fantastic sitter. Could not ask for anything better. He babysat our cat Roux 35 days, took great care of our house, Roux was very happy with Donald. Donald kept us updated daily, and sent us daily photos. His outstanding pet sitting made our vacation stress free.”


“I don’t have enough good words to say about Jamie! Our animals are our world and I feel like we finally found a sitter who treats them just as amazing as we do. It is such a relief to find someone who takes such good care of your animals while you are gone so you don’t spend the whole time feeling guilty for leaving. At one point, we even said that our dog probably likes her more since she took him on so many walks even in the cold! Jamie was so communicative about how the animals were doing and sent the best photos! She even went the extra mile when I realized I lost something and she found it. She left our home just as clean as when we left so everything was taken care of when we returned so we could just focus on seeing our boys. I can’t recommended her enough and I’m just so glad we found her to have someone we (and our animals!) trust. Just don’t book her so much that we can’t use her 😄”

About: As a dog mom of three very different pups—a goofy cuddle bug, a squirrel-chasing chatterbox, and a calm, loyal companion—I truly understand that every dog has their own personality and needs. What sets me apart is my ability to adapt my care to each dog’s unique energy level, quirks, and routine. I have experience with senior dogs, stubborn breeds, and high-energy pups, and I’m especially great with food-motivated dogs (because let’s be honest—treats are love!). Whether your pup needs a playmate, a cuddle buddy, or a calm presence, I’m here to make them feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. I also have experience with medication administration, basic training reinforcement, and helping dogs feel comfortable in new environments. Your pet won’t just be watched—they’ll be cared for like family. Pet care is a natural fit in my life because I’m already surrounded by dogs and love spending time with them! I work full time, but I’m looking to do pet care part time—and I have flexibility in my current schedule that allows me to make arrangements as needed. Whether it’s early morning walks, evening drop-ins, or weekend stays, I’m happy to work with pet parents to find a routine that works for everyone. Caring for animals brings me joy, and I’m excited to welcome more furry friends into my weekly routine! I provide pet care exclusively in my clients' homes to ensure each pet stays comfortable in their own environment and to avoid any stress from introducing them to my three resident dogs. I’m respectful of routines and will follow all care instructions closely—whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, medication, or cuddle time. I make it a priority to keep your pet safe, happy, and loved while you're away, and I always provide updates so you can feel confident they’re in good hands.

“This was my first time leaving my two dogs with someone other than family. Kailyn did an amazing job with my two dogs who have a lot of behavioral issues that require special considerations (feeding and walking separately, medications, etc). She sent me pics and videos of the dogs too. Highly recommend!”


“Morgan is a god send!! She spent the day, night and morning at my downtown Columbus apartment looking after my 16-22 mo. old rescue American Bully while I was away for the weekend and did a perfect job. I didn’t know Morgan personally, but upon our meet and greet, I immediately felt comfortable leaving my dog for the first time in her care. She took Shadow on many walks, fed him as I asked, was a fast communicator, kept me in the loop with photos and updates, and was very respectful of my apartment. I came home to a very happy boy!! Thank you Morgan for looking after Shadow on such short notice. Will look to you for your support again! 😊🐶”


“Mallory was amazing and when she gets back from vacation, I will contact her again. She showed up on time and was professional and friendly. My dog loved her and was very calm when I returned home. I highly recommend her.”


About: With the help from my mom and trainer, when I was 17, I raised and trained my own dog, Rosie, a Shilo Shepherd. I also helped my mom train her own puppies, two Aussie Shepherds, Rocco and Gypsy, and they are real bundles of energy. Especially Rocco! I will bring that same love, enthusiasm, and knowledge when taking care of your fur babies! I am currently available throughout the whole week as I am shifting work positions. Once I secure a different position, I will be available most weekend days at certain times and often on weekday evenings. I never ignore the pet, I always try to go above and beyond, when pet sitting for my parents or family friends, I would always spend at least an hour and a half outside with the dog that way they got some good exercise, I always give treats IF I have to go ahead. I always try to make sure they are well hydrated after running around outside, or even playing around in the house.

“Khalia watched our three dogs over thanksgiving and she did an amazing job! They were so well taken care of and loved. We would recommend her and will definitely be using her again in the future!”


“Zoey did a great job taking care of my Labrador’ retriever while we were out of town. He usually is stresses when we are gone but Zoey made him feel like his family never left.”


About: I have experience caring for dogs, cats, and caged animals. I am a loving owner of 2 dogs and 4 rats. I understand that time away from owners can be stressful to pets and want to make their lives more peaceful and enriching. I have full weekend availability to care for animals, and would love to be a little more active on weekday evenings by walking sweet pups. I would love to spend time with your pets, giving them the care they need when you’re away. I am happy to send you updates as needed.

“Kayce was wonderful with our pups and cat. She gave us regular updates and photos and took great care of our home. The home was spotless and everything was treated very respectfully. We hope to work with her again on an upcoming trip.”

Mary R.
“Mary is as loving and caring as it gets. She’s watched after my black lab Tara numerous times and it’s adorable watching how excited she gets when she comes by to watch her when I’ve been out of town. I’ve known her for years and she’s not just an animal lover, but she’s as kind hearted a person I know. I’m hoping she gets lots of success on Rover as she absolutely deserves it and the animals she’ll take care of will be in the best hands.”

Jamie did a truly amazing job watching my dogs Frankie and Obi. Frankie is a special needs senior, and Jamie made sure she was well taken care of and received all her medication. Obi doesn't warm up to everyone right away, so I was so happy to receive pictures of Obi snuggling up to Jamie. She was proactive in communicating how the dogs were doing. I would absolutely trust Jamie to watch my dogs in the future and would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter, especially to someone with dogs that need a little extra care and attention.

Mia was great! She stayed at our house and took care of our two dogs for a week while we were on vacation. One of our dogs is older and requires extra attention and Mia provided the extra care she needed. Our dogs were happy and healthy when we got back, and our house was clean. We could tell she took good care while we were away and would definitely recommend her.

Donald was fantastic sitter. Could not ask for anything better. He babysat our cat Roux 35 days, took great care of our house, Roux was very happy with Donald. Donald kept us updated daily, and sent us daily photos. His outstanding pet sitting made our vacation stress free.

Emily did a fabulous job with my 2 dogs. She proactively shared updates, pictures and videos during her stay. She shared genuine care and concern for the dogs and tried to find ways to keep them happy and entertained. She also took the time to clean up the house! Emily definitely went above and beyond expectations and I would highly recommend her.

Coleman took wonderful care of my senior dog and my cat. He went above and beyond to make sure the animals were happy and barely noticed that I was gone! He paid attention to the limitations of my dog. He communicated any issue or just to send a pic. I would highly recommend Coleman and will book with his again!
