“Maia was incredible. 🤯🎉🎊 She kept us updated and took care of the house. We had some people come to the house to move furniture and repair some things and Maia remained flexible through the entirety of that endeavor. The dogs clearly loved her and we’d be absolutely delighted to utilize their services again. 🦮🐕‍🦺🐕 She did some awesome, creative activities with the dogs too!!! 🎨 What a wonderful surprise to come home to the crafts she made with them! Strongly recommend her services 😊”

About: I've been an animal person my entire life. I grew up helping pet-sit the neighborhood dogs, and my family loved a rescue German Shepherd/Rottweiler mix from the time I was 10 (she was 2) until she was 15 - she watched us grow up and even visited my college house. As an adult, my heart belonged to January, a border collie/American Staffordshire terrier mix I brought home in my late 20s after seeing her story on the news. She was an energetic, clever puppy who taught me patience, consistency, and the value of positive training. We had 13 wonderful years together before she passed in November 2025. Losing January left a hole in my routine and my heart, and i'm not quite ready to adopt again - but i've found real joy and healing in caring for other people's pets. I've recently house-sat and hosted dogs, cats, and birds for friends and family, from puppies and kittens to seniors on medications with special needs. That experience, plus a gentle nudge from the people who suggested Rover, is what brings me here. I've used the same trusted vet since I was a kid and know the ropes - comfortable administering medication, contacting the vet, or getting emergency care if needed. Your pet will be loved, watched closely, and cared for like one of my own. I work a hybrid schedule: two days at home (typically Monday and Friday) and three 8-hour days in an Avon Lake office (Tuesday-Thursday). My schedule is flexible and easy to swap these days. I can use my noon lunch break for midday walks, potty breaks, and playtime if you're within 5-10 miles of my location. I’m available in the evenings after work for walks, feeding & visits. I'm also happy to water plants, bring in mail, and handle other small house-sitting tasks. I live in a cozy Lakewood duplex on the first floor with a front yard and porch my dog loved to lounge on (yard stake leash available for safe outdoor time). I already have bowls, beds, leashes, and other supplies, so your pup won't need to travel with a pile of gear. I can board up to two dogs at a time -any size, any friendly mix - but I don't board cats in my home (happy to care for them at yours).

“Claire was great and will definitely book her again! She sent picture updates throughout the stay and took great care of our pets and home.”

Paige F.

“Elizabeth was phenomenal! She sent pictures everyday of my two cats and kept my mind at ease while being away. Also came home to a spotless home and the place better than when we left it! Will 100% rebook in the future for my next trip.”

Meghan B.

“Elizabeth was amazing and took such great care of Gus! She sent pictures and videos and kept us thoroughly updated each day that we were gone. We would be very happy to have Elizabeth sit Gus again!”

Carly A.

“If I could rate her 20 stars I would! She cared for my dog Vito while I was on a vacation and he had so many adventures with her and her dogs. He was very comfy with her both in my home at night and at her house during the day and she followed all my instructions and even gave me some cool new ideas to implement into our relationship with him now.”

Mike H.

“Hannah is a great dog sitter for my 2 year old golden retriever! She communicates frequent updates and is very responsive and does a great job with the dogs. Would definitely recommend giving her a call next time you need a pet sitter.”

Anna Rose R.

“Shandra was awesome. A wonderful personality that immediately made us comfortable to leave our Cavalier twin brothers in her care. She brought tremendous experience that also helped us ease our human separation anxiety. She communicated before and during the engagement in an effective and professional manner. We would highly recommend her.”

“Laura is awesome! She took great care of our dog and provided several updates throughout the week we were gone. She is very easy to communicate with and you can tell how much she genuinely cares for animals. We will definitely be booking her again! Thanks for everything Laura!”
