Doggy Day Care In Central

“Mary is so kind and truly loves animals. She was so kind and patient with my little puppy. She kept me updated throughout the day to ease my anxiety of leaving my dog for the first time. She also is very flexible in her schedule which is exactly what I was looking for. Excited to have Mary watch her again!”

“Tori was great with my little dog Jingles. Tori has two friendly larger dogs herself, and they were super great with my little dog. After meeting Tori and her dogs, I had no concerns about leaving my dog with her and would happily rebook her in the future.”

About: I have been walking dogs and pet-sitting for over 10 years now. I started walking dogs around the neighborhood and quickly demonstrated my dependability to clients. Through client word-of-mouth and recommendations, I started pet-sitting overnight. My responsibilities ranged from simple daily walks while clients were traveling to weeklong stays at residences, caring for several pets, watering plants, and doing light housework. I work remotely which allows me to be with your pet all day while sitting! This flexibility also gives me the opportunity for walks during the day and short notice care. I am very active so taking your dog out will be the best part of my day! I will follow any and all instructions you leave me for in-home pet care. I can assure you I will meet and exceed your expectations for pet-sitting. I will care for your pet as if they’re my own!

“This was Susan's first time taking care of Coco and I could not have been happier. She sent many videos and photos to keep me apprised of Coco's progress throughout the day. Coco is learning how to interact with other dogs and was a little skittish with Susan's dog when we arrived and Susan was very patient. I felt like Susan treated Coco like she was her own and that gave me so much comfort. I am very pleased and will look forward to entrusting Susan with Coco's care in the future!”

“Highly recommend dog sitting with Pamela and Marshall! :) We received pictures and videos throughout the day, which really helped since it was Bailey’s first time without us. He came home happy, and so are we. Thank you!!”

About: I have a high-energy dog that has prepared me in all aspects of pet care! I am well-versed in on- and off-leash exercise and have plenty of ideas for indoor enrichment activities. Having raised my own dog from 6 weeks old, I’m familiar with all of the accidents that can happen when pets are home alone. I’ve also cared for elderly and medically-complex dogs. I work remotely during the school year and have summers off. My work is in pacific time, giving me plenty of time in the morning to take your pet on a walk, play outside, or just keep them company. Of course, when I’m off in the summer, I have all the time in the world to spend with your pets! I am open to the safety, trust, and environment guidelines set by each pet owner. As the owner of a needy dog, I understand that each family has different preferences for keeping their home and pets safe!

About: ✅Genuinely love all animals and want them to be happy ✅ Always willing to meet/greet before so you are 💯 comfortable ✅Very experienced (30 years of dog and cat care, from puppies to senior dogs with special needs, my own pets lived up to 22 years old) ✅ specially trained and very experienced dog enrichment (walk, run, hike) volunteer at the City Dogs (Cleveland Kennel) ✅Flexible schedule (freelance fashion photographer) ✅Reliable and trustworthy (run my own business since 2004, no criminal record of any kind, home owner in Lakewood, proud mom of two older kids, in a happy relationship :) ✅Fit and active (run marathons, hike mountains like Inca trail to Machu Picchu, exercise every day) ✅2 reliable cars fit to accommodate any size dog (Toyota Yaris and 4Runner SUV) ✅comfortable with any size dog, love cats, have both ✅ dog training is always part of my services (reactive leash pulling, heeling, manners, etc) ✅ you can trust me with your home - 77 five star reviews on Airbnb - attached some screenshots in the pictures. Services description: 1) Pet sitting at the client’s home: I stay at your home full time at night and most of the day (with the exception of a couple departures if any, but never more than 3 hours). I don’t raid your fridge or bar and treat your home with respect. I walk, play, feed, clean up after your pets. We cuddle and sleep together at night and they get lots of love. I leave the house exactly the way you left it, no surprises:) I provide uninterrupted routine for your babies and treat them like my own. You find your pets happy and relaxed. Up to 3 walks 20-30 min each a day are included. 2) House drop ins: I feel this service is more for cats who don’t need to be walked. I come in, clean up any accidents, feed the pet, administer medication if needed, play, give cuddles and make sure I leave water bowl full. 3) Pet walk: I come in, take the pet out for a walk. We work on our manners, leash training, etc. For the high energy pups we can jog together. For high energy dogs I suggest upgrading to 50 min. I try to improve dog training every time we hang out together and build on what we learned. I leave with water bowl full unless instructed otherwise. If dog needs to be crated, I can also do that before leaving. 4) Boarding: I own a 3 level home and your fur baby would reside on the living room/kitchen floor. It has front door entrance, covered patio, plenty of cozy room to roam around, access to water bowl and food bowls during feeding time. If your pet is dog friendly, I will introduce my cute dogs (Mini Bernedoodle and mini Dachshund) to him so they play. If not - no worries, my dogs will be kept in a different living level with another exit door, so they don’t trouble each other. I have a fully fenced in yard (with no escape cracks even for smallest dogs) and provide walks/potty breaks every 2-3 hours. You are welcome to bring in anything you wish, and a crate if you want your dog crated at night, for example. If you prefer not to crate - during boarding I will be sleeping on the couch in the living room so they will be safe and are welcome to sleep with me. We treat them as family! See photos in the end of the gallery for pictures of where your fur baby will stay - example with our recent guest 8 month old Chandler whom my dogs adored. We have a cat who grew up around my dogs and is very dog friendly but for the sake of guest dogs we keep him upstairs on our bedrooms level, there is a tall gate to that level so it is fully secure. My kids are 13 and 15 and very responsible and animal loving. I truly love animals of all kinds. Always had a pet in my family. Been responsibly taking care of dogs since I was 14 - my cocker spaniel, childhood dog whom I even was able to cut hair and groom:) All my dogs live/lived a very long life - 15-22 years. Through my life I have adopted German shepherd (when he was 8, and took care of him through severe hip dysplasia until he was 15 and vet recommended putting him to sleep), adopted Toy fox terrier at age 6 who was abused and bit me several times but I never abandoned him and he lived until 22 - last 4 years deaf, blind, but still was full of life and always wanted to cuddle. I saved and nursed a baby squirrel until it was grown enough to take to wild life center. I fed it kitten milk from a tiny bottle :) I raised a puppy who is now 3, and another who is now 1, so I have patience and experience with the little ones. I have extensive experience administering medicines to pets - shots, oral, etc. Taking care of seniors, dogs with double hernia, dogs with mobile difficulties (I can help their hind legs with a towel so they can walk), doggie diapers - you name it. I am not a little bit squirmish because I truly love animals and they love me back. With larger breeds I am very confident and can take care of the ones who are leash reactive or not very well trained. A bit about myself: moved here with my family from L.A. and proud home owner in Lakewood. Freelance fashion photographer since 2004. I used to ride horses and am very fit and strong. I run marathons and hike up mountains. I am thrilled to take your dogs out as much as they would like. I drive reliable hutch back car and can fit up to 2 large Shepherds in to run in the metropark should you have multiple large friends:) Oh, and when watching pets in your home I would absolutely love if they want to cuddle in bed with me:))) But won’t force them:)) Overall I raised also two kids, have a great family, and I am currently 45. I have been scaling down my work travels so I would love to help you when you need me. Hoping to get many repeat clients! Feel free to reach out with any questions! Freelance fashion photographer, I started dog care business as a passion project as I love pets and as an extra motivation to step away from laptop and get those hikes in. When not traveling for fashion shoots, I work on the laptop from home and my schedule is very flexible. I can adjust to the schedule you prefer, so it’s easiest on your pets and you. I have used Rover before for my own pets when traveling so I can anticipate what questions to ask. Ideally I would provide uninterrupted routine and lots of attention, exercise, cuddles and games.

“All went well, my dog enjoyed her stay!”

About: I’ve dealt with small to large pups in different breeds. I’ve handled all kinds of request like clothing when it’s raining or cold etc. I’m here to service you! I have a doggie and had her for four years and babysat other dogs two years before her. I work from home so my schedule is open to step away and attend to the doggies! I tend to take mine to the park down the street and go on walks three times a day. The doggies are free to roam around my home and have a comfy couch to chill on. There’s plenty of roaming space and toys that I keep! each dog has their own food and water bowl. In clients home I will follow any directions given.

“Angel is very good at communicating and sent many pictures updates. My puppy had a blast with her.”

“Clifford did an amazing job watching my dog, Zebo, today! From the moment I picked him up, I could tell he had a great time. He came back happy, energetic, and acting like he had puppy fever again — and he’s 11! 😂 That alone tells me he was well cared for and genuinely enjoyed his time. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Zebo was in good hands. I truly appreciate the care and attention Clifford gave him and would absolutely trust him again for doggy day care. Highly recommend!”

About: I have been a pet owner for about four years now and truly have a passion for taking care of dogs and giving them freedom to have fun and be themselves. I work at night time so usually when I get up in the day, I have the most energy and that’s when I’m totally available for the time and attention for the love of dogs. I have a closed in gated fence, which allows the pets to have access to roam around handedly at Will I have a true passion for taking care of dogs.

About: I’ve had pets all my life, I adore dogs especially. This being my full time job, your pets get my full attention and a stable schedule! This is my full time job! So I am home with your pet at all times creating a stable and safe environment with hands on care. I live in a spacious 1 bedroom luxury apartment. We have a closed in turf area for pets as well. And being in the city there are plenty of places for nice walks!

About: Hi! I have about 2 years of personal experience walking dogs for family friends. I like to believe I have a special bond with animals, and will treat them with nothing but love and care. There’s not much about me other than I’m young and full of energy! I’m recently graduated from Case Western Reserve University and have just started a full-time job. It can be kind of lonely living alone so what better way to get some company than to spend time with animals! I have experience walking, playing, sitting, feeding dogs, and overnight care. I’m open to sitting cats as well, I just don’t have as much experience with them. Please feel free to contact me with any questions you have, and we can work something out together! I’m currently working full-time at a mainly remote job, so I have plenty of time to spend at my home to take care of all of the necessary needs your pet may have. I have a large yard great for potty breaks and playing fetch. I’m also in a great neighborhood for walking. Keeping an eye on your pet at all times is my number one priority.

“Sage watched our elderly family dog while we were in Cleveland managing numerous appointments at the Cleveland clinic. She created a comfortable space for our 18 year old dog, sent lots of cute pictures and seemed to really care about her well being. Sage was extra flexible with our changing schedule, and it was a comfort to know that Maggie was being well taken care of during our stressful time. She is compassionate, reliable, and easy to get a hold of. When we are back in Cleveland we hope to have her watch Maggie again. I’d recommend her to anyone.”

About: Hello! My name is Ella and I’m 23 years old and I am a student at the Cleveland institute of music studying opera. Singing and animals are my two greatest passions in life! I grew up with a Bichon who is now 12 years old and living with my mom in Columbus Ohio. Taking care of him throughout my life has been one of my greatest blessings and I’ve had the joy of extending my love for him to dozens of dogs and cats across the Cleveland area over the past 6 years! I follow a vegan diet and am passionate about the color yellow and I adore movies (especially horror!). All my friends love meeting and playing with any animals I care for (with pet parent permission of course!) so no matter what, I (or me AND my friends) will give your baby(s) a most fun and special time! I am a graduate student at the Cleveland institute of music and within my schedule have breaks and long blocks of time where I can go to hangout with, check in on, walk, and feed pets :) I’m almost always available to spend the night and take care of them in the morning before setting off for my day. The longest I would need to leave a dog alone would be 5-6 at most, but that would be rare. Most often, it would be 3-4 hours or less :) I always appreciate when pet parents create a list for me of things I need to know so I can continue to reference it throughout my time caring for their pet until I get to know the dog super well! I am careful to keep dangerous or toxic things off floors and out of reach, I ensure that small dogs have easy access to higher couches or beds (as long as pet parents allow this), I clean and refill their water bowl every morning and wash their food bowls. I will give your dog lots of love and cuddles and pets and attention and time outside and exercise and plenty of treats!

About: Growing up with a variety of pets has really helped deepen my love for animals. I grew up a family of German shepherds, I’ve had snakes, ferrets, cats, even a hedgehog! All my friends and family have relied on me for watching over there furry friends. I am a newly post grad from Kent state and just recently moved to Cleveland. I am doing a remote internship so I am home most the time during the week but on weekends I bartend and my shifts are usually 6 hours at most but my boyfriend lives close by and he will stop by while I’m at work and help out! and I also love to go on walks and would love to be accompanied by your pet! All my classes are in the morning so I will be up early to take your pet out and feed them whenever necessary, all my classes are also an hour long at most. With my internship being remote I am home almost all the time. I like to treat any pet as my own no matter the size, personality, or behavior. Not only is rover beneficial to you but to me as well for allowing me to spend time with your furry friend!

About: I’ve always taken care of animals my whole life. From dogs,cats,chickens to small critters. I love having fun with animals as of playing, walks and teaching new tricks! I’m currently free 7 days a week. My calendar is always up to date! If it’s green I’m free! If you ever need to drop off a day ahead or even have your pet stay an extra day do to some issues I WON’T charge an extra fee I understand life always throws things at us. I care for pets in my home like they are my own children. I love playing and spending time with pets and animals I love to spoil other people’s pets as they are my own I do have a closed in fence and is shaded so when pets are out there there is no problem with the sun. If your dog, doesn’t get along with other dogs please let me know because sometimes I do have another dog already in my care and my number one priority is to always make sure all animals are safe. I love to send you pet home with goodies such as toys, treats, blankets or whatever I have free for them!
