About Us
Your Trusted Pet Sitter in Central Ohio
At Sound the Horn Pet Care, we believe pets are more than companions — they’re family. That’s why we offer reliable pet care in Central Ohio that goes beyond the basics. Our services are built on love, trust, and years of experience with animals of all kinds, from cuddly cats and playful pups to feathered friends.

A Lifelong Bond with Animals
My name is Linda Horn, and I’m the founder of Sound the Horn Pet Care. My connection to animals began in childhood, during a time when I felt misunderstood and isolated. Bullied for being different — a redhead, shy, and overweight — I turned to animals for comfort. Their love was unconditional. Their loyalty, unmatched. That bond became the foundation for the work I do today.
Over the years, I’ve grown stronger and more confident, but my love for animals never changed. It deepened. I’ve cried over the loss of pets, both mine and those I’ve cared for. I understand the deep emotional connection we have with our furry (or feathered) family members. That’s why every service I offer is rooted in care, compassion, and respect.

Final Thoughts:
So many humans are stopped vacations or late working hours by having your loving fur babies at home. Consider someone who would help put you at ease when the fill in is needed. I have 3 dogs and 2 cats myself. Also a grand pup and little pup sister and occasional cat niece, I care for when needed. However not everyone has family who can help. At Sound the Horn Petcare, I would love to be that person to assist you and put your mind at ease.
