“Tiffany stayed at our house with our pup for a good week while we went on vacation and we could not be happier with her time with Phoebe!! We received pics everyday and had great communication…and our house was clean upon our return!! She is an excellent dog sitter and we will be calling on her again!”
“Joy did a wonderful job with my pups while I was away for nearly 2weeks. Unexpectedly she had to take my one to the vet as we noticed something just the day before I had to leave. She kept me fully updated along the way and I felt a lot better knowing she would show the same amount of concern and care as I would. I received frequent updates and lots of pictures too! My dogs are definitely a handful and take a good amount of patience, so I really appreciate all that she does for me. I would definitely have Joy stay at my house any time I am in need of a kind hearted pet lover.”

About: I grew up with a loving & lively mix of pets - always at least 4 dogs and 4 cats running around the house. I’ve also cared for ferrets, guinea pigs, sugar gliders, and a bearded dragon. I’ve even helped take care of a family friend’s goat! Being around so many different animals has taught me how to understand each pet’s unique personality. I’m currently a graduate student completing a hybrid program to become a school psychologist. My classes take place on most Monday & Tuesday evenings, which are virtual! During the school year, I complete my practicum during school hours on Tuesday and Thursdays, but I have complete availability during the summer/spring/winter breaks! If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I’ll follow your routines closely to help your fur baby feel comfortable. I’m happy to stick to feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions you provide!
About: For my entire life I have lived with dogs, cats, and ferrets. Many of these pets had chronic conditions including kidney disease, neurological problems, asthma, insulinomas, and adrenal disease. My friends, family, and neighbors have relied on me to walk, play with, care for, and watch their pets, including both cats and dogs. While I have not owned a dog in awhile due to college, I have watched and cared for many recently. I work part time and am a student, these leave me with lots of time to care for your family pets. I am available weekdays and weekends. I am very familiar with taking care of cats and dogs in others homes including feeding, walking, crating, and playing. I also have a semi-feral cat at home, so I understand their individual needs as well.
About: Hi my names Melissa, I have been around a variety of animals my whole life. Dog’s, cat’s, chinchilla’s, bird’s, reptiles, etc. I worked at a doggy daycare for three years. I love animals. I have experience with house sitting and petsitting overnight. I am able to do medication, basic grooming, nails. I can work with teacup to extra large size animals. My training at my day job, provides additional courses such as Animal CPR/Animal behavior studies. Like play style, body language, stress levels, etc. I’ve known to teach some dogs a few tricks. I enjoy sending cute photos to mom and dad of their furry babies. Additional in-home services available upon request Benefits to booking me! +Your pet remains comfortable at home in their safe, secure environment surrounding by familiar sights, sounds, and smells +I will follow your pets diet and exercise routine +Maintain any medical treatment +They will receive the same love and personal attention they're use to +Receive daily reports on what your pets have done +I will keep your home looking fresh and clean while your away +You'll have someone who is knowledgeable, responsible, and insured in charge in case of an emergency in your home I look forward to meeting you and your family. Thank you for taking the time to get to know more about me! I like to add a little fun into my routine with animals. I did work at a doggy daycare for about three years, until I successfully came into the medical field. Missing my favorite pups that I created a great/exciting bond with them. I would still like to create new bonds, even if I'm not at the daycare!! I usually write down a schedule sheet on what your pet and I have done doing the days that I have been sitting. Always asked for permission before doing anything. Making sure everything is locked up and looking nice once I leave.
About: I’m currently in my final year studying zoology in college, and I truly love all animals with all my heart. I’ve had dogs for as long as I can remember, and for the past seven years, I’ve been trusted to care for pets belonging to neighbors, family friends, and more. I treat every pet like my own while maintaining a professional and reliable attitude. This summer I am focusing on all things animal love. I will be pet sitting/walking as well as volunteering at farms and the Cleveland zoo! My schedule is pretty open as I will be prioritizing your pets and their needs. As stated before I will treat your pet as my own. I have a huge heart for all pets; dogs, cats, lizards, birds, etc. My family dog is very anxious around other animals so to respect him I will unfortunately not be able to bring other animals into my home. I have stayed at many family friends houses while pet sitting and I’m very respectful of home and pet. My dream job is working with animals and caring for their welfare so I would love for you to consider me as your pet caregiver, I will abide by rules you set and ask specific questions for each pet!

“Emily H. is an exceptional choice for pet care. She consistently provides safe, loving care because of her deep understanding of animal behavior and her unwavering patience. Her commitment to following specific instructions for feeding, medication, and exercise ensures that every pet receives personalized attention and maintains their routine, reducing stress while I was away on vacation. She truly connects with animals, making them feel comfortable and cherished under her supervision. When it comes to great customer service, Emily is highly communicative and reliable. She often sends updates and photos, providing peace of mind and showing her dedication to keeping owners informed. Her professionalism, responsiveness, and genuine care for both pets and their owners make her an absolute standout. I have used her several times to care for my cats. She makes it easy to not worry about your furry family members. I highly recommend Emily H. Recently, when she took care of my cats, they were very relaxed and happy upon my return, a clear testament to the positive environment she creates. What makes Emily an awesome human being is her incredible empathy, not just for animals but for people too. She's remarkably trustworthy, kind, and always goes the extra mile, making her an invaluable resource for anyone seeking top-notch pet care.”

She has been my dog sitter for years and I trust her completely. She has a special way with dogs - they all love her and she loves them. Melissa is the best dog sitter that you could ever hope for!”
Allyson B.
“I cannot recommend Allyson enough! She has cared for my three furbabies several times over the past few years. Whether it is a quick overnight trip or a week long vacation, as long as I know Ally is taking care of them, I can rest easy and enjoy myself. All three of my babies are quirky, each in a different way. One needs a wide berth and lots of patience to get to go outside, one requires a ton of cuddling and gets jealous of the other two, and the third is a little addled (but we love her!) They have specific feeding instructions as well, needing their food mixed a certain and each fed in separate spots. Ally handles all of that with ease and is always gentle and comforting with them. She has a natural manner with them. In addition, she is always dependable and responsible, great with communication, sending pics of my pooches to help me when I'm away from them. If you are looking for someone to love on your dogs or cats, Ally is the BEST!”
