About: I have had dogs and cats my entire life, until the recent passing of my family dog. I am a graduate of The Ohio State University with a BS in Animal Sciences. I have worked at the Columbus Zoo, dog boarding facilities, and vet hospitals so I have a pretty good understanding of dog health and behavior. I am pretty low-key, so I try to be as calm and accommodating to all dog personality types. Whether you have a quiet senior or an excitable puppy, I can bend and mold to your doggo's needs! My services does not stop with just dogs, please ask me about your other lovable critters! I do work full time, so my services will primarily be available after 3:30 and on weekends. If my services are needed before 3:30pm, Please arrange them with me well ahead of time so that I can make the necessary changes in my FT work schedule to fulfill your needs! I am currently working full time Monday-Thursday, so I am available Fridays-Sundays. Depending on your location, I may be available for evening drop ins during the week after 530pm. If you are looking for Housesitting during the weekdays, I am able to take requests on a case-by-case basis. I have a cat of my own at home. Out of respect for both your pet and my own, I typically prefer coming to you and providing care for your pet in the comfort of their own home. Pets stress less when they are able to remain at home in a familiar space. I will treat your home respectfully and
About: Hi, I’m Tyra! I have 9+ years of hands-on pet care experience, including professional kennel, daycare, boarding, and private pet-sitting settings. At Pet Suites, I completed and passed the required assessment to lead All Day Play groups, where I independently supervised large groups of either small or large dogs throughout the day. That experience strengthened my ability to read canine body language, manage different play styles and temperaments, recognize when intervention is needed, and maintain a safe, structured environment. My background also includes feeding, exercise, behavior monitoring, sanitation, medication support, and caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and energy levels. I bring that professional experience into every booking while still giving each pet individualized attention based on their routine, personality, and comfort level. Pet care is an important part of my daily routine. I work primarily from home during the week, which allows me to be present with pets throughout much of the day. My job also includes scheduled provider visits, so there may be periods when I’m away from home. I plan pet care around my workday with morning and evening walks, feeding, potty breaks, playtime, enrichment, and plenty of attention when I’m home. Weekends allow for even more flexibility and activity. I always aim to keep each pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible while they’re in my care. I focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free by maintaining their routine and providing attentive, personalized care. Whether a pet is staying in my home or I’m caring for them in yours, I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, potty routines, and individual preferences. I supervise interactions carefully, pay close attention to body language and behavior, and provide regular photo and video updates so owners can feel confident and connected.
“Regan was an amazing pet sitter. The first time she came her key wouldn’t work and she came multiple times to keep trying and for the locksmith. She stayed extra long with my kitties, played with them, gave thorough updates and lots of pictures. We are so grateful for everything she did and more, it was so reassuring when we were gone for a week!”
“Abby is great! This was my second time with Abby as my sitter & she did a great job at taking care of my pup Theo while I was out of town, I knew he was in good hands :) Abby is great at communication / providing consistent updates. I will continue to use Abby in the future!”
“Yasmin is fabulous! She took time to meet our pup prior to starting weekly drop ins so he felt comfortable. She asked such thoughtful questions to ensure she knew about his care and what he would need. During the visits with our pup, she has been so detailed and loving with our boy. It’s clear that she really enjoys what she does. Could not ask for a better pal for our pup! Thank you, Yasmin!!”
“Christine is amazing. She’s been watching our high needs pets one. We’re out of town for a couple years now. We definitely use her every time we go out of town out of town and will continue to do so!”
“Marilyn is fantastic with our fur babies. She is prompt and very detailed in her visit communications. On the second visit, she even won over our Maltese—that has never happened!”
About: Welcome to my profile! My name is Emily. I am a wife, a pediatric nurse & newly a mom to a beautiful baby girl. I also have two silly cats named Greta & Beatrice. My life has always involved animals. I grew up with several cats & dogs in my home and love both of them! I am reliable, attentive, and treat every pet with the same care I would give my own. I have hands-on experience with puppies, senior dogs, and pets who need medication or extra attention. I stick to your routines, watch for the little details, and keep you in the loop with updates so you always know your pet is safe and happy. Hope to hear from you soon & work closely with you and your fur baby! I’m currently on maternity leave with my new baby girl! When I return to work at the hospital in September it will be very part time, so I will have plenty of time to walk, watch or check in on your pets!

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
