Amy became one of the first employees in 2011 after graduating from CCAD. With her previous experience as a pet sitter growing up and as a doggy daycare attendant through college, she was the perfect fit. You can find her walking pups in German Village during the week. When she's not hanging out with her animal friends, she can be found gardening, training for her next race, or volunteering with the local babywearing group.
Mallory managed kitchens for many years, but when looking for something more fulfilling, she began walking dogs for Le Pooch on her day off. After leaving restaurants all together, Mallory was able to dedicate more time to pet care. Her animal and management experience helped make her the dedicated owner she is today, handling most of our office work with sidekicks Sebastian and August.
From an early age, Leia knew she wanted to work with animals. Leia has her veterinary assistant certification and is a practitioner of healing touch for animals. She is in the process of obtaining her vet technician certification. She lives in the Old North part of Columbus with her high school sweetheart (now husband), their two kids, and their own little pack of animals. She has worked full-time for Le Pooch since 2013.
“Growing up there were always dogs. If not at our house, then family members, neighbors. We at times had cats, but dogs were prevalent bc they helped friends and family for hunting. When I left home, a dog was my constant companion as soon as I lived off campus up to the present day. When I was nearing the end of my career, I checked out fun jobs after retirement and dogwalking popped up as one of the choices. It seemed perfect to me - outside, get my steps in and, best of all, I get to be with all kinds of dogs. It is perfect! Everything I hoped for AND an added bonus is getting to love on kitties as well.”
Morgan has a passion for serving animals and people! She has 6 years of experience as a veterinary technician and is currently attending The Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine in pursuit of her DVM. She is grateful for the opportunity to get out the classroom to walk dogs and help with any pet care needs!
Brooke has loved animals since the day she was born. With a background in dog training, she returned to the pet industry after working in a law office for several years. Brooke covers the west side including the Hilliard and Dublin area. You can find her adventures with sidekick, Vivienne, on her poodle's Instagram @viviethepoo
Marlowe's entire bedroom from the age of 4 has been decorated in any and all things dogs and cats. While a visual merchandiser and fine artist by trade, most who meet Marlowe will identify her as an animal lover before anything else. She continually crosses her fingers behind her back when she promises her family no more animals and can often be sighted scooping stray cats out of trash cans, yelling "pull the car over I see a lost dog!", and rescuing abandoned litters of baby skunks from railroad tracks.
Ren has aways loved animals but has yet to have the opportunity to own any so they had to get creative to get their furry fix in…one of their favorites is to petsit while traveling for free accommodation and to meet all kinds of furry (and sometimes not) friends! Ren also works at a small cafe/bar in downtown columbus and if she is not at work, she is probably hiking, thrifting, or crafting!
Dude has been perfecting his office skills since he was a kitten. At almost twelve years of age, he has mastered the art of lap sitting on his moms while they are working in the office. He enjoys relaxing on paperwork and head butting writing utensils while in use. He makes sure that our services are up to his top kitty standards by testing them regularly.
Absolutely! We always provide a free consult in your home prior to any services. This allows you to become acquainted with your walker and allows us to meet your dog and see their routine. At this time, we also pick up keys, collect paperwork, and address any questions you may have about Le Pooch.
We ask that you give 24 hours notice if you are cancelling or booking. Less than 24 hours notice will result in a $10 fee.
We walk in all weather, including rain and snow, as long as your dog is enjoying their time outside. If your pet is not tolerating the weather, we will always be sure to bring them inside for cuddles, brushing, and play for the remainder of the visit. We do travel in snow emergencies when we are able to do so safely.
Le Pooch practices positive reinforcement, and all of our walkers are well-versed on this method of behavior correction. The confrontational dominance or 'alpha human' way of training is a common misconception that leads to harsh practices and often failure.
We do our best to provide services to all dogs and do not discriminate by breed. If you feel your pet has a special need, please let us know before the consult so that we can pair you with an appropriate staff member.
We provide services to all of Franklin county subject to staffing and availability.
Yes! Le Pooch is available every day of the year. We do add an additional 25% for services on major holidays.
We do our best to assign one main sitter to one client. Occasionally, we need to assign two alternating sitters to a client based on scheduling. If you have a single sitter for your pet, we train a back-up sitter once you are a client. Having a back-up or second sitter helps to create a seamless coverage in the event that your primary sitter is unable to complete the visit due to things such as illness, vacation, or emergencies. All of our walkers and sitters are trained as well as bonded and insured.
We have many references and are more than happy to provide them on request.
We do not provide daycare, but we can provide recommendations to alternate services if desired.
