From Our Clients
★★★★★
"My dog, Yoda, loves him! He spends time with him and has developed a good trust with him. I get sent daily updates of how Yoda is doing accompanied with pics of him living his best life."
★★★★★
"My schedule constantly changes so I can't walk them regularly and it's a relief knowing they're getting outside with someone they love."
★★★★★
"Brent watched my super shy and anxious dog and did amazing with her... She had a harder time around men but was cuddled up on Brent within the first day!"
What We Stand For
A walk is more than a bathroom break. It's a chance to sniff, stretch, and engage. Every outing is done with intention because even a walk around the block could be the best part of their day.
Our pets are present and accepting of our humanity, and we follow their example. Anyone with empathy and an open heart is a welcome and cherished client, and every pet deserves an opportunity to be served.
As pet owners and caretakers, our job is ensuring pets know they are loved. Your pet is family and a fully-fledged individual with their own personality, and we'll treat them that way every single visit.
Our Walking Policy
Every walk we provide is a private, dedicated session for your dog. No distractions or divided attention. In multi-dog households, each dog walks individually. We built it that way on purpose. Your dog gets the undivided focus, safety, and care they deserve. Every single time. If you prefer back-to-back walks in a multiple-dog house, we are happy to offer a discount.
What We Offer
Serving the pets and families of Upper Arlington, Grandview Heights, and Marble Cliff, with extended service to Clintonville and Worthington. Our focus is overnights and in-home visits, available weekday evenings from 5 to 10pm and on weekends. Extended-area visits carry a small travel fee, waived for recurring weekly clients. Additional areas considered upon request. See our Columbus dog walker page. New clients begin with a free meet and greet; once you're with us, we ask for 48 hours' notice on new bookings.

"Steve taught me a walk is more than just a walk, and pet sitting is more than food, water and a second of your time."

Professional nice person.
Cat-Raised, Dog-Owned • Over 25 years of experience with both.
Hello there! I've been a resident of Columbus, Ohio for over 20 years with management experience in marketing and communications before branching out to start my own business and follow my passion for meeting people and their beloved animal companions.
Originally from Northwest Ohio, I have experience being owned and loved by cats and dogs for a majority of my life. After walking and caring for dogs of all ages for more than a decade, it became clear that people are still looking for one reliable person they know by name to fill in the gaps of care for their pets. It felt like a natural fit to fill it.

Steve is a Teddy Roosevelt Terrier/Yorkshire Terrier/Chihuahua mix from Columbus Humane that joined our family about three years ago. He had big shoes to fill. Before his time, Hansel and Gretel, a pair of dachshund siblings, shared their long and rich lives with us. Even in his short tenure, Steve has picked me up, dusted me off, and got me moving through hard times. My best friend. I couldn't ask for a better boss.

Not sure if you are in range? Ask anyway. Distance factors into scheduling and rates, but some people (and pets) genuinely need help, and we would rather have the conversation than lose a good client family or help a pet that needs it.
