Hi there, I'm Olivia! I love spending time with dogs, and love to get outside and get some fresh air! I have a 10-year-old border collie who is my world! In the past I have cared for our family dogs that being, a greyhound, a goldendoodle, and a mini dachshund. We go to the dog park, go for long walks, and they all get the snuggles and cuddles they so surely deserve! I am currently a part-time nanny for 2 amazing kiddos! I have a very flexible schedule! That being my days off are Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays. I cannot wait to meet your fur babies!
Hello, I’m Della! I’ve been around animals my whole life including being blessed to have loved & fussed over three “Homies” (dogs) of my own: Jeannie (CocaPoo), Essence (German Shepherd) and Shaggy (PomChow). When I began missing the natural connection with a being other than a human during the times in my life without a Homie, I would offer to pet sit for my family and friends. I’m looking forward to giving your pet(s) the best care and giving you a peace of mind while you are away.
Hi I'm Mackenzie! I am actually the older sister of Happy Tails owner, Carly, and have been pet sitting for her clients for a few years now. I am a special education teacher in Worthington City Schools so my schedule is fairly consistent and flexible to make sure that your pets are all getting the love and attention they need. I am a lover of dogs, and recently cats as well, since Carly adopted her two kitties a few years ago. I am looking forward to spending time with your furry ones!
