I am not only a dog walker, pet sitter and animal lover, I am also a mom to 3 cats and 2 dogs. As a parent of 5 pets, I am constantly looking for the best of the best when it comes to my "kids".

Whether its dog treats, an animal hospital or a rescue group, I want to share with you some of my favorite pet businesses and organizations that I have encountered. I will be updating this list on a regular basis. Please contact me with questions or feedback!

I am a foster parent for Columbus Dog Connection. I also adopted my German Shepard/Husky named Dawn from them. There are no words to describe what an amazing rescue group they are.

Veternarians and Animal Hospitals

Dr. Marian Burns of Red Maples Veterinary Clinic has been our family veterinarian for over 10 years. She has become a great friend to my family. I have never met a veternarian who was so empathatic with her animal patients. Red Maples Veterinary Clinic is located at 3340 E. Broad St., Columbus, OH 43213 and can be reached by phone at (614)235-5703.

Gahanna Animal Hospital has been amazing to work with. It is a great place to take your pet for a regular check up or if there is an emergency. The staff and veternarians are very friendly! For more information please check out their website - GahannaAnimalHospital.org.

I rescued a cat in the past and took it to Northwest Animal Hospital which is located in Upper Arlington. The car was diagnosed with FIV. The staff and Veternarians were very informative and accomadating. Many nights, after hours, the vet called and explained my options. Good News! Ira the FIV cat is living a good life at a foster home. If you are interested in adopting him he is on the Columbus Dog Connection website. Check out Northwest Animal Hospital on their website - NWAH.com.
