As native of Westerville, I have been active in rescue work since I was a young child. Our family takes in foster animals when space allows or run transports to get animals out of kill shelters and into foster/forever homes. I first starting pet sitting for neighborhood pets at the age of 12. My current furry family includes 6 cats- Princess (Leia) (who we fostered since she was a week old!), Bing, Skippy, Sassy, Floof, & Hattie Mae.
Our chocolate lab loves Scales Tails and Paws! All of the walkers are friendly, reliable, flexible, and I enjoy the texts and pictures I receive after each visit. They treat our fur baby like family, and I am at ease knowing he is getting great care, love, and attention while we are at work! Worried about your pet holding it too long while you're at work?
We understand that there is much more to your furkids than just setting out food and water. Of course, we provide the basics such as feeding, fresh water and meticulous litter box care. More importantly, we take the time to get to know your individual pet's personality and tailor our services to best suit their needs.
Looking to spoil your pet while you are gone? Our overnight visits are 10 hours, typically lasting from 9pm until 7am and your pet(s) will receive lots of one on one cuddle and snuggle time, extra walks and exercise. Of course your pet is welcome to sleep with us! A mid day visit is included in the slumber pawty package.

Our pet sitter for at least 10 years now. It's been such a comfort to have someone we can trust to take care of our precious pets. Care included testing and administering insulin for our diabetic cat, and communication if things weren't normal with him. Ingrid is always responsive to any issues, and hires great people! Highly recommended!

Scales, Tails and Paws has taken care of my pets for many years. They are reliable, caring and knowledgeable. I always feel confident leaving my pets in their care. If you need a pet sitter, I'd highly recommend them. Also, know that you're supporting a locally owned business, which is more important than ever!

Scales, Tails and Paws is hands down the best pet sitting service we have ever used. They are trustworthy and reliable and seem to love our pets almost as much as we do. I love that you can schedule and pay online. Plus every time they come, I get a message about the visit and a photo of my pet. The piece of mind I get from this is worth its weight in gold and yet their prices are very reasonable.

I've used Scales and Tails for quite a few years. When my cat Chloe became diabetic, Ingrid knew how to give the shots. What a relief to know that all would be fine while we were gone. I have several cats and my cats told me they were being played with while we were gone. How'd they tell me? After feeding them their food, they all went to the toy box and waited for me to come over and play. Not my usual routine but must have been ST's while I was gone. Really love the pics they send daily. Thanks Scales and Tails!

Scales Tails, and Paws have been amazing! I trust them to take great care of our dog and love the updates we get! It makes our vacations so much more enjoyable knowing our dog is in good hands. It's also been nice to have someone come walk our dog on busy weeks during work! Ingrid and her team take great care of your animals and your home!

Ingrid and all of the sitters at ST&P are the VERY VERY BEST in the Columbus area. Everyone of the sitters who takes care of our pets is wonderful and caring and treats our pets as if they were one of their own. If you have the opportunity to use this service do it and you'll never use another. TOP NOTCH pet service at its best.

I have used the petsitting service for my two cats for the last 2 years when I've had to travel. One of my cats is diabetic and needs to be an a certain feed schedule. I've been very happy with the service I've received. I always schedule morning and evening visits to feed my cats and I always get great pictures from visit and also confirmation that they've been there which is a relief to me.
Any questions I've had have been promptly answered and the notes are always so nice and I feel like they really take the time to get to know the cats and play and appreciate them. I've used them for short work trips as well as longer over a week stays and the service has always been great and I return to happy cats, clean bowls and litter boxes. I would recommend to any pet owners I know.

Highly Recommend! We have used their service for a couple years now. Very dependable - we've never had a missed appointment. They care for your pets as if they were their own. One of our pets had an emergency during a visit and Tessa jumped right into action and got our dog to a vet for care and he ended up being ok. I was kept aware of what was happening the entire time. I like that they send you an update and pictures with each visit. Our dogs are always happy to see them!

Ingrid and her crew are the BEST! I know our special needs kitty and other pets are always in good hands with them. The best parts are how easy it is to reserve their service using the portal, and how they send updates (including photos) via the portal/email during every visit. They are experienced with all kinds of pets too - including ferrets. I can finally relax while I'm away, and know my fur kids are well taken care of and loved while I'm gone.

Ingrid and her staff are the absolute best! We have a very sensitive, anxious dog, and they go above and beyond to help her feel comfortable. They all deeply care about animals and provide the highest quality care. We have been using Scales Tails and Paws for four years and have always been more than satisfied with their services and care. They are the only pet sitting service I trust.

I have a huge fear of leaving my dog and I could not ask for better care! I booked the overnight stays. They came and stayed with my baby all night and also came during the day to take her out! They sent an email update with every visit. When plans changed with the original sitter they called and reassured me she would still be taken care of as planned!
I have a senior husky that still has lots of energy! I came home to one very tired and happy husky! She also has some health concerns, but they were so knowledgeable on what to do that I did not stress out to leave (other than my usual missing my puppy). She was just so well taken care of! I will definitely use them again!
