“James was very easy going and patient with my puppy Moka. He took her for a nice extended walk, fed her and most of all, allowed her to warm up to him before he took her out.”

About: Hi, I’m Kris! Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I genuinely love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I have two years of professional experience working in a busy doggy daycare, where I was responsible for safely supervising and caring for up to 20 dogs at a time. That experience taught me how to read canine body language, manage group play, administer medications, maintain proper cleaning and disinfection protocols, and provide a safe, low-stress environment for every dog in my care. I’m comfortable with dogs of all breeds and sizes, including puppies, senior dogs, reactive dogs, and pets with behavioral challenges or special medical needs. I’ve also fostered dogs in my home, which has given me additional experience helping nervous or transitioning pets feel safe and comfortable. At home, I’m a proud pet parent to three dogs and a cat, so I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family members. Whether your pet needs an energetic walking buddy, a patient companion, medication, or simply lots of love and attention while you’re away, I’ll care for them as if they were my own. My goal is simple: to make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable, confident, and happy every step of the way. I can’t wait to meet you and your best friend! et care fits naturally into my daily routine because I already structure my day around consistency and animal care. I have experience managing multiple pets at once, so I’m used to building my schedule around feeding times, litter box maintenance, play sessions, and check-ins. I’m typically available mornings, afternoons, and evenings, which allows me to provide reliable drop-in visits and maintain a steady routine for each pet I care for. I’m comfortable incorporating visits into my day-to-day activities, and I plan my time so pets always get full attention without feeling rushed. Because I’ve worked in structured animal care settings and have fostered pets in my home, staying on top of routines like feeding, cleaning, medication, and companionship is second nature to me. Caring for animals isn’t something I “fit in”—it’s something I naturally organize my day around I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment in every pet care visit. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and any specific needs so I can provide care that feels familiar and stress-free for them. I’m careful with home entry and follow all owner instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medication routines, and any house rules. I keep doors secured during visits, monitor pets closely during interactions, and make sure their environment stays clean, comfortable, and safe at all times. Building trust with both pets and owners is important to me. I approach each animal with patience and respect, especially shy, senior, or anxious pets, and I always move at their comfort level. My goal is to create a safe, consistent experience so pets feel secure while you’re away and you feel

About: I have always found myself surrounded with dogs of one kind or another and have loved each and every one from my own dear family dog, who we lost last year, or the puppy that I visit twice a week for family friends. I think that dogs, like people, have their own personalities and traits that make them unique and lovable in their own ways. You can get a doggo who is docile and sweet and only wants cuddles or you can have that crazy little thing that runs around like there is no tomorrow. I love to discover these quirks and tendencies of these four legged buddies and then develop a bond with them. I believe it is important to make a meaningful connection with your charges and from there you can really build a lasting relationship with the dogs. Every day is a little bit different but what is always the same is the level of care provided for your pet. The basics of breakfast, dinner, and pottying are all covered but I like to throw in some extra enrichment and fun so maybe your pet will get a trip to a coffee shop or the dog beach or maybe a pet friendly store. It really depends on what your pet might want on a particular day. Whatever it is, you’ll get tons of pictures and the occasional arts and crafts because it brings me joy 🤩 At my home, I have a large backyard that is fully fenced and the dogs get full range. The only portion they’re not invited into is my garden. I like to be the only one who does the watering there. Inside the pups get to hang out where they choose and if your dog needs a little quite space, I have a couple crates or baby gates that will help with that. Safety is the biggest priority though and cameras are in every room because I cannot be. I do my best to match dogs to other dogs they’re going to have a nice time with and also keep separate the ones that would prefer to have a closer knit circle of friends. Every animal is unique and I’d like them all to have an enjoyable time while they’re under my care

About: I’ve always had a love for animals, especially dogs, having grown up with two of my own. Over the years, I’ve had plenty of hands-on experience helping my brother and sister with their dogs, and I’ve enjoyed dog-sitting for friends and family. Caring for dogs has become second nature to me, and I love making sure they’re happy, comfortable, and well cared for. As a full-time student during the week, my schedule is pretty busy, but I also work part-time at a hospital, which adds some variety to my routine. However, I’m completely free on the weekends and have some flexibility during the week as well. This allows me to adjust my time for things like dog-sitting or other commitments when needed. In my home, I create a calm and comfortable environment where pets can feel safe and at ease. I make sure they have plenty of space to relax, play, and sleep, and I stick to their usual routines for feeding, walking, and playtime to keep them feeling secure. I also provide lots of attention and affection, ensuring they get the social interaction they need. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m mindful of keeping things consistent with their daily routines. I follow specific instructions for feeding, exercise, and any special care needs, ensuring that the pet stays in their familiar surroundings while receiving the same level of care and attention they would from their owner. I take extra care to respect the home while keeping everything tidy and secure.

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and grew up helping care for my own pets, taking on a larger role in their daily routines about six years ago. Over the past two years, I’ve also provided reliable pet and house sitting for family and friends. Through these experiences, I’ve become comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and pet transportation. I have experience with both small and large dogs (growing up with a miniature sheltie and a black lab)! As the families I’ve provided pet care services for have grown, I also have gained experience providing care for senior dogs. I treat every pet like my own and aim to make them feel comfortable while you’re away! I am currently a graduate student at John Carroll, so I am only away from 12-5 Tuesday- Friday, so I have a very flexible schedule to take care of your pets while you’re at work or away! I also am available almost always on weekends for walks and check ins. When caring for pets in a clients home, I focus on keeping their routines as consistent as possible. I am attentive to detailed instruction and preferences, and take safety very seriously. I am mindful of keeping doors and gates secure, monitoring pets during walks or outdoors, and making sure their (and your) space stays clean and safe. I respect your home just as much as your pet, and I make sure to communicate regularly with updates for your peace of mind.

About: 20% off code upon FIRST booking 😁 || I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since i was little. My parents are huge fans of dogs, bull dogs especially. I also love cats! I’ve had 3 cats of my own and I have two birds. I am also enrolled in a vet care school called Pennfoster to get my degree. I also have experience with exotic pets like birds and spiders. Currently have a babygirl hampster named Willow ☺️ Pet care can easily fit into my daily and weekly routine because i have a lot of free time. I love going to parks and into nature overall and walking in it, and i feel my love for animals with my adventurous and animal loving attitude I could help care for them and make them happy as well I care for pets in my home by walking them a few times throughout the day. They don’t normally have to wait around for that because i like getting out a lot. I also bathe when/if need be. they eat between 2-3 times a day. I also purchase new toys for others pets to make them feel welcomed and gift them. Treats are also given as well. The most important part to me also is the quality time throughout the day. Dog Park available at my residence.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a child. I always had large family dogs and then during my 20s I had my own dog who was my best friend. She recently passed and my friends started asking me to dog sit for them since they knew how much I could be trusted and how well I was with dogs. This has been a wonderful way to get dog time while helping others! I only take one client at a time but up to 3 dogs per client My work is very flexible for any scheduling needs. My prior dog before passing was extremely Ill and needy. I am use to tough schedules, medicine, watching out for any side effects or red flags, vet appointments, frequent bathroom breaks, I can navigate issues with other dogs or children. Anything you need to make sure you dog is as comfortable as possible! If watching at my own home, your dog is welcome to roam free, I live in a community with fields and easy walking paths. ( no fenced in area ) your dog will be allowed to sleep in bed with me or on any furniture! Let’s be honest, most homes are the animals home- not ours ;)

About: I have taken care of friend's dogs several times in the past including walking and feeding and also have been paid to walk dogs/care for them overnight in the summer and on this app. I am currently a full-time online student and am very free during the week. My apartment has a dog park and I have several toys! I do not have pets at my home because I currently live in an apartment but it is a pet-friendly apartment with a dog park and I am also more than willing to go to clients' homes to pet sit if they need me to.

About: If you're like me your pet is your baby, so why trust anyone but the most experienced?! I have trained, groomed, fostered, pet sit and worked as a vet assistant. Your fur baby will be in the best of hands when I'm taking care of them! Have a dog that requires special treatment? No worries! Difficult to handle and nervous pets, those that require medication, etc. are not an issue for me at all. I am self employed with a very flexible schedule, reliable, responsible and trustworthy. Added bonus? I am a photographer so you can expect pictures of pet on a regular basis! I have numerous references that I will gladly provide for pets I have cared for. Thank you for considering me and I hope to meet you and your pet soon! As someone that is self employed, I have a very adaptable schedule to fit the needs of my clients. I allow for enough time between clients and I also try to schedule everyone on a route that will utilize my time best and allow me to give everyone the attention they require! I am vigilant and attentive to each animal in my care. I always double check things are put away, doors/gates are latched, etc. My focus remains on the animals I am caring for to insure their safety!

About: I’ve had dogs since forever, I love mine more than anything. My experiences dog sitting and cat sitting range from my neighbors and family to taking care of animals on my uncles farm. I love meeting people’s pets so it would be my pleasure to meet more!! My dog Ruby is 15 years old and I love her to death, I can’t imagine her being alone all day. I go to college full time at Cleveland State University. I do play in multiple orchestras as well, but although I’m busy I have time in between classes and in the afternoons/evenings that I struggle to fill! I would love to have a slow morning taking care of a pet, or going on a walk, so I am very flexible. I understand that all pets have their own personality, and honestly the best way to take care of them relies on me getting to know them. The quirks about pets are my favorite thing about them, and I am willing to work with any needs they have. I love spending time with any animal and making sure they feel loved and entertained.

**Five Stars! Exceptional Care for Gracie! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐** Katie took wonderful care of my sweet Gracie while I was away for three very busy days of business meetings. Although my schedule didn't always allow me to respond to her thoughtful messages and photo updates, I can't express how reassuring it was to receive them. Seeing Gracie looking so happy, comfortable, and content gave me tremendous peace of mind and allowed me to focus on my work, knowing she was in excellent hands. When I returned home, Gracie was in wonderful spirits, and my home was just as clean, organized, and in order as I had left it. It was clear that Katie had taken exceptional care of both Gracie and my home. Katie is thoughtful, attentive, dependable, and genuinely caring. I'm so grateful for the love and attention she gave Gracie, and I wouldn't hesitate to trust her again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat their beloved pet like family!
