“Anna took such great care of my dogs. They’re both anxious but she made them feel comfortable. She sent me pictures and updates daily without me asking for them and I really appreciated that. I drove 30 min knowing they would be in good hands. I would def recommend Anna! Thanks so much! 🙏🏻”


“Angela was an absolutely fantastic sitter for our dog! From the moment we met her, we could tell she genuinely cares about animals. She was attentive, responsible, and kept us updated with daily photos and messages, which gave us much peace of mind while we were away. Our dog was happy and well cared for when we returned. Angela followed all of our instructions perfectly, including feeding instructions and walks. We will definitely be booking her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!”

“Kathy took great care Cosmo. He had only recently started taking medications and she watched me give him his pills the morning I dropped him off so she would be able to give him his twice daily pills every day. I felt very comfortable leaving him in her care.”
“Sarah was great! She was very communicative on updates during Winnie's stay to make sure I knew how things were going. I was travelling abroad and Sarah made me super comfortable that she had things under control and that Winnie was enjoying her stay!”

“Stacey and Doug were so lovely with Papaya. She took to them immediately, and I got frequent updates and pictures! I loved how they brought Papaya into their family! Definitely will be booking again.”

“Sarah was flexible on the scheduling and great to work with. Our dog Nellie was well cared for, and got a lot of play time in with Jasper. We will definitely have Sarah watch Nellie in the future. Sarah kept us updated with lots of pics which was great!”
“We’re really happy with Debra and how she handled everything for our dog while we were out of town. We arranged for a meetup before the stay to ensure this would be a good match. When I dropped off our dog there was an introduction to the other pets in her home so our pup could get acclimated. While we were away we received daily updates with photos and it looked like our pup was having a great time. Thanks for taking good care and we look forward to scheduling with you again!”

“Roselie and Kevin are awesome caretakers! You can tell they really loved and took good care of our dogs. They sent a picture or video each day which we loved! And they were very understanding and flexible when our flight home got delayed twice. We are so appreciative of them!”

“Karin took great care with my 5 month old puppy, sent photos and was great at communicating what Daisy was doing. It was nice that her dog got along with the puppy and she had a great backyard for the dog to run and play. You can tell that her and her husband love dogs. I would highly recommend her as a pet sitter. :)”

“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter than Cliff! He watched our pup for a full week, and from start to finish, everything was seamless and stress-free. Cliff treated our dog like his own, playtime, and plenty of love. He kept us updated with photos and little notes that showed just how happy and well cared for our dog was. When we picked her up, she was relaxed, happy, and clearly had a great time. We’ll absolutely be calling Cliff again next time we travel! Highly recommend—five stars🐾⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🐾”

“Looks Like my Dog had a great stay w/ Andrea. Andrea is very communicative. Gives updates and pictures everyday. Went above and beyond even got mats out of my dogs fur. I definitely look forward to her taking care of my dog in the future.”

“Fantastic short stay for our large dog. My dog is shy and can sometimes struggle with new environments. We were given the flexibility of a meet and greet, but even without, the numerous photos were reassuring of my dog’s comfortability in Tina and Rick’s home. I am very appreciative of the updates throughout the day and taking the time to go out on walks. Will definitely be a future customer!”

“Samantha was a kind and caring sitter! She sent lots of pictures and kept me updated on how my puppy was doing. She also has 2 small and very well behaved pups and this was great for socialization. Very happy to leave my puppy with Samantha.”

“I was very comfortable with leaving Mellow with Angi. She sent me pictures and kept me up to date on how he was adjusting to new surroundings. I definitely recommend her services.”

“Matt was great with Chasey, she was so happy with him and his doggos! They made her feel right at home! I really appreciated the photo updates and communication throughout the weekend. We will definitely be coming back in the future!”

Wonderful duo who has the biggest hearts for fur babies and I certainly plan to have my pup visit again! They were very communicative. Sent frequent updates of beautiful photography level photos ! I couldn’t have asked for more. Thank you guys ! Truly was amazing meeting you all and I can tell Elijah enjoyed himself thoroughly!

We had a wonderful experience with Mary! I had to find a Petsitter last minute during a family emergency. Mary made the whole process incredibly easy and stress-free. She sent plenty of pictures and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind, and my little Andy looked happy and well cared for the entire time. Drop-off and pickup were super smooth, and her central location near downtown was really convenient. I would absolutely book with her again—A++ experience!

100% recommend! Jenna took such great care of my dog, Bee! I’m not from the Cleveland area but I’ll definitely be a repeat when I need Bee boarded again when I’m in the area. Thank you so much for putting my anxious dog at ease and taking such great care of her!
