Tailored Care for Your Pets and Home

At Paws and Pads, I offer a range of premium services designed to keep your pets happy and your home running smoothly.

Pet + Home Sitting

For your pet I provide in-home care, overnight stays, or quick drop-ins. My personalized attention keeps your pets happy, comfortable, and loved.

Your home will also be well cared for, mail and packages collected, trash put out, and other basic housekeeping tasks will be performed.

Pet Transportation

Whether it’s a local trip or across state lines, our certified USDA Class E pet transport ensures safe, stress-free travel for dogs, cats, and small animals.

No pet wants to be locked in a crate in a cargo space for hours. Give them a more enjoyable trip with regular comfort breaks with my pet transportation service.

Areas I Serve

My standard rates cover in-home, overnight care in Central Ohio and surrounding areas including Columbus, Powell, New Albany, Granville, and Dublin. While I am happy to travel outside of the Central Ohio region, additional fees may apply.

Inspired by Sparky, she created Sparky Express, offering certified USDA Class E pet transport and personalized pet care to ensure every furry friend feels safe, loved, and happy.
