Hear it from pet parents who've used our Columbus dog walking and pet sitting services.
I am new to the Columbus area, and needed a dog walker for my little puppy while I am at work. I had Hands N Paws recommended to me by a friend, and I have had an incredible experience with the company! They are reliable, super friendly, and my puppy loves them! I highly recommend for all of your dog walking needs!

Dog Walking in Columbus, Ohio
We used Hands N Paws to take care of our cat during a recent vacation and I couldn't have been happier with the experience! Someone came by for a meet n greet before we actually left, which was very nice to be able to meet someone before we got started! They helped out with my non-standard requests, like changing what lights are on to look like someone is still there, mail collection, and taking out garbage. Can’t wait to use them again!

We’re committed to providing reliable care throughout the city, ensuring your pet feels comfortable and secure, right in their own home.
Our dedicated team of pet sitters and dog walkers provides a range of services directly at your home, ensuring your pets are well-cared for while you’re away or busy. We offer four different lengths of visits, and you can schedule as many daily visits as you need for peace of mind.
During each visit, our team typically performs the following tasks:
– Walking your pets
– Engaging them in playtime
– Feeding and administering any necessary medication
– Performing complimentary household duties such as collecting mail and rotating blinds
We believe in a team-based approach rather than assigning just one person to your pet. This ensures that multiple team members form relationships and bonds with your pets, providing flexibility and reliability whenever you need our services.
After each visit, we provide detailed updates through our company app, Precise Petcare. These curated journal updates allow you to see how your pet’s day went, adding a personal touch to our service.
The cost of our services varies based on the duration and frequency of the services you require. For instance, if you are on vacation and need multiple visits per day for your pets, the cost will be higher compared to a single visit in a day to check on your pets. Regarding service duration, we provide options for 20, 30, 45, and 60 minutes. The cost increases with the length of the service. For detailed information on our services and their respective pricing, please visit our specific service pages for dog walking, pet sitting, and cat sitting.
Each team member undergoes a rigorous selection process to ensure they are the perfect match for our team. This process includes multiple interviews, followed by comprehensive background, drug, and reference checks. After passing these checks, they receive initial and ongoing training and are equipped with numerous resources to ensure their success in this work. All team members have previous experience in pet care, whether personal and/or professional. We also ensure each member embodies our values of compassion and professionalism, so you can trust your pets are in the best hands.
