Wedding Season Good for Pet Sitting in Columbus!

My brother’s wedding is coming up, so we will be going out of town and are unable to take Ty with us. We have decided to use the Petsmart PetsHotel like we have before. We’ve tried several different kennels, but always feel a little bad about keeping him away from home. We’ve never tried a pet sitter and know how hard it can be to trust someone. That’s why I started Trusty Paws Pet Sitting to begin strong relationships with pet owners and provide reliable care. When choosing a pet sitter, you need to make sure you discuss and check for certain things, like being insured and bonded. See a previous post Tips for choosing a Pet Sitter

Summer is wedding season and time for vacations!! If you will be gone for just a couple of days, such as going to a wedding out of town, it is a great opportunity to try a pet sitter. Trusty Paws is available on weekends and holidays, and weekdays after 5:30. See the page on Why choose a Pet Sitter for more information.

Welcome to Trusty Paws Pet Care: Pet Sitting and Dog Walking in Columbus, Ohio! Thanks for taking the time to check out the services offered and mission statement. Feel free to connect using Facebook or Twitter, or add your comments to any of the blog posts. We’re just now getting started, but there will be much more coming soon!

Pawfect Lounge: Pet Connection Launched!

The pet connection website is now in beta mode. I’ve added many businesses that I found by Google searches, but I need your help in adding others that you find! Please sign up for a free account to add a business to the site. Search the website by service type to find a particular service near you. I’ve added pretty many categories of services, including Doggie Daycare/camp, merchandise, boarding, grooming, dog walking, pet sitting, training, dog parks, clean up, adoption/shelter, health care/clinic (veterinarians), pet store, and cuisine! I didn’t realize that there are businesses out there that provide dog food and treats in a buffet-style (bakery) for dogs that come in! I found Three Dog Bakery and Heidi’s Homemade. They are under the cuisine category.

Social Links

The details page of a business will display links to that business’ profile on social networks and other community/review sites. I haven’t done much research to find all these links yet, so please send an email or post a comment if you would like to point out a link to a business.

Reviews

Viewing and creating reviews for a business are not available yet. I’m still not sure if adding the ability to write reviews on this site is prudent due to the numerous other review sites out there. Please use the social links for the respective business to find reviews on other sites. But what would set these reviews apart from the others is the ability to rate each individual service provided by a business, and provide an opportunity for businesses to respond to the feedback and reviews they receive. NOTE: Reviews and feedback will be moderated to an extent to ensure communication is civil, intelligent, appropriate, respectful, and rated G.

Let me know what you think about the new site!
