Dog Sitting Avon Lake

“Great experience. Good communication. Would recommend.”

“Sophia is so sweet! She’s helped look after my cats during a few extended work trips and was happy to help when they needed medicine or special instructions. Now whenever I’m planning to be away, booking Sophia has become routine. The cats are typically shy but they sure like her and she goes above/beyond every time.”

About: What truly sets me apart as a pet caretaker is my intuitive, patient, and highly observant approach. I don’t believe in a "one-size-fits-all" method for pet care. Instead, I use my deep understanding of dog behavior and body language to adapt to each pet’s unique personality, emotional needs, and energy levels. I specialize in providing a calm, low-stress environment, making me particularly a great fit for dogs that need a gentler, more mindful touch. From a young age I have been around dogs in all ranges - puppies, elders, rescues, energetic, anxious, etc. I help take care of my own dogs, family, and friend’s dogs when they are out of town or just need some extra love! <3 I am currently a graduate student pursuing a Master’s degree in the helping profession, which allows me to maintain a highly flexible and adaptable schedule throughout the week. Because my studies are largely self-paced and hybrid, I have plenty of open availability to dedicate high-quality, focused time to your pet. Because I care for your dogs through walking and house-sitting, my top priorities are absolute home security, maintaining your pet's familiar environment, and vigilant safety on the leash. I know how stressful it can be to let someone into your home and trust them with your furry family member, which is why I approach my services with the utmost respect, awareness, and care. Before we even step foot outside, I double-check that all collars, harnesses, and leashes are securely fitted. I practice defensive walking and never let your dog off-leash in unsecured areas. When we are out on a walk, my focus is 100% on your dog. I am constantly scanning the environment for potential triggers—like off-leash dogs, loud construction, or busy intersections—and I proactively adapt our route to keep the walk calm and safe. Walks are tailored entirely to your dog's age and health. Whether it's a brisk, high-energy exercise session or a slow, sniffing-focused stroll for a senior pup, I let them set the pace. I treat your home with the highest level of respect. I strictly follow your house rules, keep spaces clean, and ensure your home is locked up and fully secure every time I enter or leave. Pets thrive on routine. By staying in their familiar environment, I minimize their separation anxiety. I stick perfectly to your established schedules for feeding, medication, potty breaks, and bedtime so their daily life changes as little as possible. To give you total peace of mind, I provide regular updates and photos. You will never have to wonder how your pet is doing; you’ll know they are safe, happy, and relaxed in their own home.

About: After I walk and feed the pet, I like to sit with them and spend time with them. Familiarity is very important and they appreciate the time. I currently work part time and while I am involved in other things, I do like to help my friends out and pet sit for them. While I only can offer service from client's residence, I tend to follow pet parents' instructions for food, exercise, and genuine care. I like to practice the same routine as the pet owner as much as I can.

About: I’ve cared for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities for over 5 years—everything from energetic puppies to sweet senior dogs who need a little extra TLC. I’m confident handling dogs with special medical or dietary needs, and I’m happy to administer oral medications or follow any routine you already have in place. What sets me apart is my calm, patient nature and attention to detail. I treat every pet like they’re my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and stimulated while you’re away. Whether it’s a long walk, cuddle time, enrichment games, or sticking to strict schedules, I adapt to your pet’s unique personality and needs. I am usually available friday to sunday if you want me to stay all the time with your dog. I work full time Monday - Thursday 8 am - 5 pm. I provide a calm, pet-friendly environment where safety and comfort come first. My home is fully pet-proofed with secure spaces for play, rest, and feeding. I only take a limited number of pets at a time to ensure each one gets plenty of individual attention. I stick closely to your pet’s usual routine including feeding schedules, potty breaks, and bedtime rituals to help them feel safe and settled. Also i have a semi fenced yard and not kids or other pets around. When caring for pets in their own home, I aim to be a respectful and reliable presence. I maintain your pet’s regular routine, keep their space tidy, and treat your home with care. I provide regular updates with photos and notes so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. Whether it’s in your home or mine, I take safety seriously: doors and gates stay secure, walks are done with caution and awareness, and I closely monitor each pet’s behavior for any signs of stress or discomfort. Your pet’s well-being and your peace of mind are always my top priorities.

About: I am a reliable, trustworthy, and enthusiastic college student who is excited to meet your furry pal! I grew up with furry friends as part of my family, and now that I am older, I rescued several furry friends on my own! I have interacted with pups of many different breeds and sizes, and I am ready to meet each individual's needs. Whether its playing fetch, sunbathing in the yard, going for a neighborhood stroll, taking a potty break, or eating lunch, I will make sure that your pet is happy, comfortable in their environment, and receiving the best care. I have a flexible schedule on both weekdays and weekends, and I am willing to care for other pets in the home during drop-in visits!

About: I have had multiple pets growing up and my love for them has grown as an adult. I have volunteered in a shelter and have taken care of pets of all sizes. All requests on how you'd like me to care for your fur babies are welcome. I live a minute away from a park and have a pet clinic up the street. My goal is to provide comfort for your pets and peace of mind knowing they will be loved and taken care of😊 I have a very flexible schedule since I work part-time and do college online. I have my own dog who I care for full-time. I am able to get multiple walks in for your pet or spend my time indoors with them if they are older. I have a fenced yard and a friendly dog. I have a crate available if needed. I am comfortable with giving medication and can handle stronger dogs. Your pet can sleep wherever they choose.

About: I’ve been an animal lover since the day I was born, so much so that I decided to become an RVT! I’m also an equine massage therapist! I work full time but I have a lot of free time on evenings and weekends. I also am not a big vacation person myself so I’m usually available if last minute plans “happen” I can not offer care in my home but I will take care of your pet in the comfort of their own home. This proves to be best for your fur baby!

“Laura was very attentive to our cat socks who tends to be shy. She was able to interact with socks and socks, even came out to see her when she would visit.”

“Carla is awesome, coming to the rescue with a last-minute cat visit when I had to leave town suddenly and giving them and my house the best care and me, peace of mind. I genuinely appreciate her flexibility and sweetness, and we would welcome her back anytime for future travels!”

About: Hi! I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have taken care of them for friends, family, and neighbors over the years. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and energy levels, from relaxed older dogs to high energy breeds that need a lot of exercise. I also have experience helping dogs recovering from injuries. I’ve worked patiently with dogs that needed extra care and attention, including helping a French bulldog regain strength and learn how to walk again. That experience taught me how to be attentive, patient, and adapt to each dog’s specific needs. I stay active and workout regularly, so I’m more than capable of handling longer walks and keeping up with energetic dogs. I take safety seriously and always make sure dogs are secure, comfortable, and well cared for at all times. I’m reliable, show up on time, and communicate clearly so you always know how your dog is doing. My goal is to make sure your dog gets the attention, exercise, and care they need while giving you peace of mind. I have a structured but flexible schedule that allows me to consistently fit pet care into my routine. I manage my time well and stay active so I’m able to take on daily walks, drop-ins and sitting throughout the week. I’m available most weekdays and weekends and keep my schedule organized to ensure I’m always on time and able to give each dog my full attention. I prioritize safety and consistency in every visit. I always follow the owners instructions closely, whether that’s feeding, medications, or specific routines, and I make sure pets are secure at all times on walks and in the home. I pay attention to each dog’s behavior and energy level to keep them comfortable and avoid any risks. I respect my client’s homes, keep everything clean, and communicate clearly with updates so you always know your pet is in good hands.

“Ember was great with our pups and so helpful with my last minute requests!”

About: As a former pet owner I understand how important it is to make sure your pets are safe and comfortable. I have over 10 years of experience with all breeds and types of dogs and cats. I grew up fostering dogs out of our childhood home. I was very involved even at the age of 6. We stopped fostering when I was around the age of 19. I have experience administering medication to dogs. I have experience with training. And I have LOTS of experience, cuddling with dogs🥰 I am currently a part-time RBT. My current schedule is Wednesday, Friday 3:30pm-7:30 and Saturday 9:30am-1:30. I’ll only be gone for around 4-5 hours those days if I do end up staying with your fur-babies I will adjust to your dogs schedule. I love walking and playing with energetic dogs, or cuddling with the sleepy ones! Daily updates are not a problem if you ask for them. However I will send updates sparingly if not requested in respect for personal pace/ if you’re on vacation.

About: ’ve been around dogs my whole life, my grandma trained therapy dogs, so I learned early how to care for pets with patience and structure. I’ve looked after both a Golden Retriever puppy and an elderly Shih Tzu with health needs, including meds and slow walks. I’m based in Gordon Square, work fully remote, and am super flexible for last-minute bookings, routine care, and giving your pet all the love they deserve. I work fully remote, so pet care fits into my routine really easily. I love starting and breaking up my day with walks, check-ins, or playtime — it keeps me active and gives me an excuse to get outside. I keep a pretty flexible schedule, so I’m able to adjust around your pet’s needs, whether that’s a midday potty break, an early morning walk, or evening feedings. I’m comfortable caring for pets in both my home and theirs — my goal is always to make your dog feel like they’ve got a second home (and a new bestie). In a client’s home, I follow their routine closely to keep things familiar. At my place, it’s calm, clean, and cozy with plenty of attention, outdoor time, and space to chill. Wherever I am, your dog’s comfort comes first

“Randy was absolutely wonderful at taking care of our pets while we were on vacation (a dog and a cat). He was communicative and took many pictures during his drop ins. Our dog ended up peeing on the upstairs carpet multiple times while we were away and he took the initiative to clean it up for us. Randy also came out a week before we left to meet the animals so the dog/cat could get used to him being around for the week.”
