Dog Sitting Cleveland

“Octavia saved us with a no-notice booking after one of our boys decided he would rather chase snowflakes instead of going "potty' before we had to leave for work lol. She was prompt with her response and was incredibly flexible. The boys also love her!”

“Marina came by to check in on my cats, feed them and clean their box while I was out of town. She communicated well, offered to meet beforehand and made sure she followed through with the procedure of taking care of my four cats. I hope to have her back when I’m out of town again, as she was very reliable.”

About: Hi! I’m Colleen, and I know exactly how much trust it takes to leave your feline family members in someone else’s care. As a proud pet parent to a bustling crew of four cats, Anubis, Momo, Tigger, and Vader, I am incredibly attuned to the unique personalities, quirks, and needs of our feline companions. My true passion and expertise lie with cats. Whether your pet is a playful kitten who needs to burn off energy, a food motivated lounger, or a shy rescue who prefers quiet companionship from a distance, I adapt my approach to make sure they feel safe and loved on their own terms. What I Offer: Feline Expertise: From immaculate litter box maintenance and precise meal times to providing interactive play and chin scratches (only if they’ll allow it!). I am very comfortable reading subtle feline body language. Peace of Mind: I am highly organized, detail oriented, and communicative. You can expect frequent updates and plenty of photos of your kitties having a peaceful, stress free time while you’re away. I am currently serving the Lakewood area and would love to meet you and your cats to see if we're a perfect match!

About: i’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes for several years now and always treat them as my own. your dog will feel right at home at my house with lots of room for play time and also lots of cozy places to snuggle! I work full time but am available intermittently through the week and on weekends for daytime and overnight care. We enjoy taking walks and exploring the city but also napping and relaxing when needed! I have a semi fenced in yard that is pretty spacious. Dogs are always leashed when taken out for safety purposes. Cleanliness is a top priority along with making sure your dog is happy and healthy.

About: Lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on pet care experience. New to Lakewood, I offer personalized, one-on-one attention, a flexible schedule, an active lifestyle, and a fenced backyard for play and care! I work in person but maintain a very flexible schedule, allowing me to provide reliable pet care in my home or yours, including walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays to fit your needs I have a fully fenced yard, no other pets, and can crate if needed. I live in a very dog-friendly neighborhood, perfect for safe walks, playtime, and a comfortable, stress-free stay.

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.

About: I've always been around dogs, cats, kittens, or puppies. Since I was young, we've had some kind of furry animal. The litters of puppies and kittens were always my favorite. They became part of my heart. My favorite past time activity as a kid was playing outside with the pets. I'm a full time student, but after class I am available to make sure the pets I care for get lots of love and attention. My pets have a lot of space outside and are really simple to take care of. I love the routine we've built. With my clients, I made sure to keep the pets well fed and always having water. As well as keeping them active.

“Maureen is amazing! I felt 100% at ease with her checking in on my cat, Benny. She provided detailed updates and the best pictures everyday, I truly felt that that Benny was in great hands. Maureen goes above and beyond and I (10/10) recommend her for your rover needs!”

About: I am a life long animal lover. I grew up with horses, 4-H, and FFA, which definitely included dogs, cats, and occasionally goats, rabbits, chickens, and a few others. I graduated from Polaris with a degree in Animal Production & Care and followed those studies in Science at Tri-C & CSU. I have trained and showed both horses and dogs. I believe positive reinforcement and love are the best and most effective forms of encouragement (but I’m definitely not opposed to treats 😉). I have a very active lifestyle and would be grateful for the opportunity to hike/ take a walk/ explore the area with your pup while giving them some love and quality time as well. I am blessed to have an open schedule at this point in life and therefore am available for house sitting/ overnight care, and unexpected needs (such as your stuck at work and worried your puppy needs to get out). I can absolutely provide references and am more than happy to have a meet and greet. Im very pleased to say that my availability is 100% open. All days and times work great for me. I’m now an ‘empty- nester’ and have the most amazing wife who loves and cares for our pup when I’m away. I will care for your pet as you request and as they are used to. If you don’t have a fenced in yard, I’m happy to do multiple walks a day. I, myself, do not have a yard suitable for my pup so we go for many walks, to the dog park, hikes, to the beach,… whatever she needs. And I would do the same for your pup. I am comfortable and familiar with crate training; And do enjoy teaching silly tricks (i.e, crawl, spin, and even the simple of shake). I love laid back older pups and younger energetic pups (my current is not quite 2 if that says anything) and I also believe that basic manners can be taught at all ages.

About: Hi there! My name is Maddie and I just moved to the Cleveland area from Oregon! I have been a pet sitter/dog walker for 12+ years. I had quite a few ongoing clients back in Portland that varied from cats, elderly dogs requiring medications, and hyper active puppy breeds that I kept up on their leash training. I currently work from home full time so I’m able to stay with your pets for extended periods of time. I welcome meet and greets and will send photos of your fur babies consistently! I currently am working from home full time but crave to get out of the house during my breaks and lunch time to go for walks! If your pup or cat need some extra love during the day I am able to work from your home for extended hours as well if requested. I make sure to follow all directions and instructions left for me when caring for pets in their homes! Making sure to ask all safety questions, allergies, okay around other pets, etc to make sure that all parties involved are safe and comfortable!

About: I grew up with dogs my entire life and started watching dogs for family and friends while in college and couldn't have my own. I've enjoyed watching pets for my loved ones and now that I am in a house and working remotely I want to be able to provide my pet care experience to more fur babies. While the majority of my experience is with dogs I've also taken care of cats, fish, anoles, bearded dragons, rabbits, chinchillas, and hedgehogs. I'm open to caring for all sorts of animals and I'm able to be flexible with your needs. I work outside the house part time so when pets are with me they are my first priority and I only accept pets when I know I have enough time to give them all the attention they need. I have caged animals that I let out when I can supervise them so they house is animal proofed and anything potentially harmful is locked away. I have baby gates that can be put up to keep puppies/ elderly dogs from falling down the stairs. My back yard is enclosed on 3 sides by fencing and would be watched and leashed at all times when outside.

“Olesja is the best of the best. Our pup was recovering from surgery this week but stayed so happy and relaxed with all of the puzzles, scent work, and training games Olesja did with him!”

About: I’ve grown up with both dogs and cats my entire life, and caring for animals has always been something I genuinely love. I’ve pet sat for neighbors, friends, and family, caring for pets with different personalities, routines, and needs. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. What sets me apart is that I’m also a registered nurse. My career has made me compassionate, dependable, detail-oriented, and attentive to changes in behavior or health. I have a natural instinct for noticing when something doesn’t seem quite right, and I always prioritize safety and communication. I understand that pets are family, and I promise to treat yours with the same love, patience, and care I would give my own. I currently work part time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to the pets I care for. Whether it’s going on walks, playing, keeping them active, sticking to their routine, or simply giving them companionship throughout the day, I’m happy to provide the care they need. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and will make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Since I live in the city, I don’t have a fenced yard, but that doesn’t stop my dog from getting plenty of exercise and attention! I have one dog of my own and also frequently care for my neighbor’s dog. We go on regular walks throughout the day, visit nearby grassy areas for bathroom breaks, and enjoy trips to the park just up the street for extra exercise and playtime. I also have a crate available if your dog is crate trained or if you’d like them crated for rest, bedtime, or while I’m briefly away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow their routine as closely as possible. I make sure they’re fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of exercise, playtime, bathroom breaks, and, of course, lots of love and attention. My goal is to help every pet feel comfortable, safe, and happy while their family is away.

“Caitlin is responsive and communicative! I know my Millie is in good hands whenever Caitlin can sit for her. Plus she updates with pictures and videos. Thanks for all that you do for Millie!”

About: I’m a champion for human & pets alike. Familial animals have been apart of my life since I was a young child & the subsequent years into my adulthood. I’ve assisted in the basic obedience training of 10+ dogs both in youth & elder-hood; temporarily lived with anxious pups whilst their parents traveled out of state; & I’ve formed genuine bonds with clients’ pets that I’ve routinely walked & tended to for years now. I’ve departed from traditional 9 to 5 employment to commit myself full-time towards the enriching of relations between all living beings, in particular, one Pet/Parent client at a time! Pet caregiving, dog handling & house sitting are my full-time job! Which fortunately means I’ve got quite a fluid weekly schedule capable of integrating a broad range of client scenarios. Mondays & Tuesdays between 9am and 9pm are my most flexible hours — services needed Wednesday thru Friday can be readily accommodated during our initial consultation. For clients interested in Boarding services - my home is a decently sized, fully furnished apartment with climate control functionality. During their stay with me your pets are welcome to languor however they normally would at home. I strive to make the stay as comfortable as possible for your pets whilst honoring whatever caregiving conditions/training you may request. If house-sitting your home is preferred, you can feel confident that your residence & loved-ones will be tended to with exemplary care & that upon your return home, it will be in the exact same or better condition than when you’d left it!
