About: I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to sweet senior companions, and I’m comfortable handling big dogs and walking multiple pups at once. I have an open schedule and am a full-time dog dad. Available for morning, afternoon and evening walks, fetch and water breaks. Available on weekends and holidays I have a friendly dog and live in a safe, comfortable apartment. Your pet will feel secure, loved, and part of our family environment. I maintain a clean, calm space and provide attentive supervision to ensure every dog stays happy and safe while in my care.

About: I have a miniature schnauzer who I trained and raised from a puppy. I’m looking to gain more experience with all kinds of dogs. I am very interested in fostering later in life and I am missing my pup while I’m away at school. I know life can be hectic so I am excited to help anyone out a little and meet some new pets in my free time! I am working part time and in school. I work mostly mornings and have classes at night right now, however Tuesday’s are my busiest days right now. The rest of the week after 1:00 and I am free and looking to fill that time earning a little extra money and spend time with some furry friends! Every week looks a little different and I don’t always have work in the morning so please feel free to reach out, I may be available! :) I know every pet is different and needs different things. I am very flexible and happy to cater to different situations as they come. I enjoy walking and exercising so I am happy to do long and short walks, parks and more. I have an anxious dog myself so I understand some pets need a little space when meeting new people and new environments. I’m looking to give your pets the best experiences possible and listen to any instructions you may have for them.

About: Since the age of 12 I have had dog and cats in my life and have had to care for them. It is one of my true passions, and always will be. I have found dogs and cats both are pretty fond of me and while I understand them I also am very sensitive to how to treat pets correctly. I believe that comfort and safety are priority number one, and I will always make sure your pet is happy while under my care! While I am work full time remotely for a media tech company, I have quite a bit of free time and can make morning visits work along with lunch time walks of nighttime dog watching. My services are quite extensive and I am very flexible to my clients schedule. In my home because I have 2 dogs already, 1 who is now too old to have dogs coming in and out, I will need to keep services to others homes and public spaces. That being said, I am quite meticulous when it comes to cleanliness and organization. While in your home I will give it the utmost respect as I would my own. While in public spaces, I will treat your pet as if they were my own! Animals are my passion and being in a comfortable space is a major part of this.

I was so stressed out about not getting a walker for my boy due to the practical blizzard outside. But James was able to make it happen! My heart is happy. 10/10 will rebook! (:

About: Dogs have been a major part of my life since I was little walking them, bathing, feeding and overall loving on my fur babies has always been the highlight of my day. I have some experience dog training as well as experience caring for older cats and dogs. I am currently a student at Cleveland State University as well as a part timer server. Fridays and weekends I am usually avaliable during weekday afternoons and evenings. At home I have three dogs, to keep them safe I have pet cams set up around the house to keep an eye on their daily activities. I do daily walks in the morning before class and have them heal at my side when passing other dogs. My dogs wear harnesses to ensure safety on walks.

We just started working with Andria last week and have already had a great experience. She’s been very flexible with scheduling and does a wonderful job handling our husky mix, who tends to pull during walks. It’s clear she’s confident, attentive, and genuinely cares about the dogs she works with. We’re really happy to have found her and look forward to continuing!

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: I’ve loved and cared for cats all my life, so I know how to give them the attention and care they need. I enjoy visiting cats while their owners are away, feeding them, and playing with them to make them feel happy and comfortable. I also love dogs and would be excited to take them for walks and spend quality time with them. I treat every pet like part of my family and make sure they feel safe, loved, and happy. I am available most days to care for pets, except Thursdays and Sundays. I can do Saturday mornings and any other day, and I am very flexible with visits and dog walks. I always prioritize reliability, punctuality, and clear communication. I prioritize pets’ safety and well-being, following all instructions and keeping their home clean and comfortable. I am gentle, attentive, and provide updates with photos so owners can feel confident while they’re away.

About: I love dogs and have been around them most of my life. Most recently I was lucky enough to have my yorkie for over 17 years. During your dogs stay with me I will treat them as if they are my own- getting lots of attention, walks, play time, and cuddles. I am committed to making sure your dog is happy, safe and comfortable during their time with me! I currently work from home the majority of the week. I am free on weekends so I can give your pup lots of time and attention! Your dog will be treated like a member of my family during their stay! They will get walks in my dog friendly neighborhood (along with a dog friendly park across the street), and lots of couch snuggles during TV binges. They will get lots of play time and attention!

About: I work from home on a flexible schedule and can accommodate mornings, mid-day and evening times. If you’re unsure just ask! :) I have several years of experience caring for cats and dogs and understand how important communication and updates are when you trust me with your pet. I work from home full time, so your pet will have plenty of company and attention. Your dog will also have the company of my friendly dog, Paloma, a 2 year old mini Bernedoodle. We have plenty of space and toys to have fun inside, as well as a walkable neighborhood for us to explore. I have multiple dog beds for sharing and an extra crate that can be used if needed.

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.

Kaitlin took care of my pups while I was on a work trip and she went above and beyond. I did not have to worry about them as they got excellent care with routine walks, play time and she got to know each of their personalities and care for them just as I would. I got daily pictures, videos and updates which made my day everyday! I’m so grateful to have met Kaitlin and to have her take care my fur babies while I was gone ❤️

About: I grew up taking care of my 7 huskies, and helping my grandma take care of her 17 bulldogs and helping with the kennel she owns. I am currently a college student so I go to school Tuesday and Thursday mornings, and have practice on monday Wednesday nights. Though I am able to help watch pets all around this schedule, and am used to working around my busy schedule to watch animals. I have two cats who live with me in my apartment, but there is plenty of space for another. I also live down town in public square so there is plenty of space for me to walk dogs!

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.
