House Sitting Downtown

“Our dog received excellent care from Madi for an overnight house sitting. Madi communicated regularly and provided several updates and pictures. Our home was kept clean. Most of all, our dog seemed to have a fun and comfortable experience. We would highly recommend Madi!”

“Palace was a wonderful sitter for our dog and cats. We booked her last minute, but she took great care of them - as if she had been their sitter many times before! She sent tons of photos throughout the weekend and she left our home very clean! Our dog loved their walks and our cats loved snuggling with Palace. We’ll definitely rebook her in the future!”

“This is the first time I've sought out a service like this. Alexa helped give me comfort and peace of mind to ensure my fur babies were well cared for.”

“I can't say enough great things about Avery! I left my dog Denver in their care and felt completely at ease the entire time. Avery sent frequent updates and photos throughout the stay, which meant so much. It was clear Denver was happy, comfortable, and well looked after. Their communication was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. Any question I had was answered quickly, and they were proactive about checking in, which I really appreciated. Most importantly, Avery treated Denver like their very own dog. You could tell the love and attention they gave was genuine. If you're looking for someone you can truly trust with your fur baby, look no further. Avery is the real deal. Highly recommend!”

About: Hello! I recently moved to CLE for a full-time role post grad. With the travel requirements needed for work I don’t have time for my own pet so would love to be able to provide services for a range of different dogs and cats. I have ownership experience with both large dogs (labradors) and smaller dogs (miniature dachshunds) as well as cats. I grew up on a family farm so I have experience looking after a multitude of different types of animals as well. I am available to walk dogs or to come over and care for an animal when the owner is away as well. I promise to provide excellent care for your animal(s) and professional service too. Taking care of animals is truly a passion of mind and I would love to take care of yours! Currently working full-time so my availability is mostly on weekends. I work from home on Monday and Fridays so could potentially walk or care for animals during those two days as well. I live in an apartment and watch smaller animals at my place from time to time. Also able to go to clients’ homes and watch/walk animals at their place. I currently dog sit for two neighbors in my apartment building and would love to watch even more animals.

About: Labs have been in my life since I was born, but I got my kitten at age 6, so I'll say that's when my real pet care experience began! Animals are such a significant part of my life that I got my bachelor's degree in zoology. I've practiced dairy goat husbandry, studied monkeys in the Surinamese rainforest, and worked as an animal keeper at the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo. Not only do I understand how to care for animals, but I'm a truly playful and active person. There's nothing better than romping around outside with a pup and wearing one another out! That being said, I helped care for my family dog Farrah in her senior years and during that time we shared some of the most tender and mellow moments. If my admiration of pets isn't yet clear, I also paint pet portraits and you can see some in my profile photos. I recently resigned from my natural history museum job in order to have more flexibility and see my out-of-state parents more often. Therefore, my schedule is extremely open and flexible. I'm an early riser, up with the sun, so morning walks are no problem! Pets are family members and the magnitude of trust put towards a petsitter is not something I take for granted. I care deeply about helping my clients feel at ease when I'm caring for their beloved pets. I'm meticulous and detail-oriented in everything I do, and that translates to following pet care directions and routines to a T. I'm open to talking through all of your needs and concerns to help make the experience excellent for all involved.

“Kristen did a fantastic job with our two dogs while we were out of town for 5 days! She was very responsive to communication the entire time. We didn’t return to any accidents or messes we had to clean up which for us is a blessing as one of our dogs tends to have some potty issues when we are gone for an extended period. Usually our dogs are super excited to see us when we return- this time I think they were disappointed to see us and not to see Kristen!! Would definitely rebook ☺️”

About: I’ve had pets since I was young and love taking dogs for walks, being affectionate with cats, and also meet your pet at their level and their energy! I work part-time as an in-home tech consultant, so my schedule is very flexible and I’m available for mornings, afternoons, evenings, and overnight! I’m also available for extended sittings if needed (: I will always communicate and make sure I’m meeting your pet’s needs. I love sharing their activities with them (staring out the window, playing on the ground, talking to each other) and am always looking out for their comfort and safety (:

“James is the best!! He has taken care of my reactive, anxious, senior pup and my senior cat many times. I can comfortable travel internationally for over a week without any worries. My pets love James so much and he’s an amazing house guest. Can’t recommend him highly enough!”

“We have 5 dogs which can definitely be a handful so we can’t trust them with just anyone. Joe did an awesome job at our meet and greet to do a slow introduction so everyone involved felt comfortable. Joe stayed for 4 days, 3 nights and did very well with all of them, keeping us up to date on feedings and pics of the pups playing. He also took care to leave the house in good clean condition, we unfortunately had a leak in our bay window after a heavy rain but Joe cleaned it up to make sure no further water damage occurred while we were gone which was very appreciated. We would definitely hire Joe again if needed.”

About: Hi, My most recent experience has been long term care for friends and families dogs. I offer to walk dogs multiple times a day, as well as check in multiple times a day. I also offer personalized behavioral training a recommendations. I have particular experience with behavioral issues like separation anxiety and difficulties walking on a leash and getting overwhelmed with various stimuli. Previously, I fostered large dogs with behavioral issues for the SPCA for 5 years. I have experience with dogs that are reactive, anxiety ridden and once with medical issues. I fostered the dogs until the issues are either managed or resolved and they are ready for adoption. I have experience primarily with large dogs. I am used to long walks and hikes with dogs. I primarily keeps dogs on leash but in the right circumstances I will let them off leash. However, I am very picky. I am open to walking l, check-ins and boarding. I’m in class a few times a month and working 1-2 days a week so I have times of availability to care for your pup. Thank you for considering me, Celine I’m a graduate student with minimal in class time so I have plenty of time to play and cuddle your pup. I love long walks and play time. I enjoy finding engaging activities that keep them mentally stimulated. I would like to get a sense of your pup and aspects of their care that are most important to you. This could be frequency of walking, caring for behavioral issues or simply giving them lots of cuddles. I can be in your hole where your pup is most comfortable or bring them to mine.

“Emily was great! She sent lots of pictures and made sure my dogs were taken care of while I was out of town, especially when one wasn’t feeling well. I would definitely have her pet sit again!”

“Breon was absolutely wonderful with our two dogs! We read every review and they could not be more accurate; Breon has a warm, welcoming presence and she clearly loves what she does. Our dogs immediately took to her when we first met so we knew she would be a great fit. Her communication was excellent, which helped us feel so comfortable with her caring for the dogs. She sent such precious pictures during the walks and during their time hanging out together in the evenings. We also so appreciate Breon’s thoughtfulness in keeping our home tidy, such a nice touch that really helps you feel relaxed when you return home. We recommend her highly and will absolutely be having her stay with our pups in the future! Thank you Breon!!”

About: I grew up between the city and farm country of Colombia where i developed my love of animals. I’ve been a caretaker of both pets and farm animals since I was a child. I have the most experience with medium and large dogs, but love dogs of all sizes. I grew up with Labradors and Border Collies. I’ve cared for many breeds including labs, border collies, schnauzers, frenchies, great pyraneans, and many others. I feel a deep connection to pets and am most relaxed when spending time with them. It would be my pleasure to help you care for your pets. I currently work full time 5 days a week, but with enough notice I have some flexibility. I am very active and enjoy running and walking before and after work and love bringing dogs with to join the fun. I live close to a dog park downtown where I enjoy bringing dogs for socializing and exercise. If you prefer to have me at your home, I’m more than happy to accommodate any routine or habits your dog and family prefer

“Emily is a fantastic dog sitter! We felt so comfortable having her house sit our two dogs, with one still being house trained, and we could actually relax on our vacation knowing that our dogs were in good care. She was flexible enough to do a meet and greet before we left for vacation and she constantly kept us updated with pictures of our dogs. She is so loving and caring and we could tell that she loves all dogs. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter, you will not be disappointed!”

“Maddie was a wonderful sitter for our two big fur babies. She was always quick to respond to messages, provided pics, and went above and beyond to leave our home clean and ready for our return. She even managed to clean Odin's ears multiple times, which usually sends him running for the hills. A great experience, and very comforting knowing she was there with our pets. Highly recommended!”

Jacob M.

“Meg did a wonderful job watching our boy, Dewy. He has severe separation anxiety, and since it was our first time leaving him with a sitter in our home, we were a bit nervous about how it would go. Meg eased all our concerns with constant updates and photos!”

Merri K.

“Simply amazing and stress free. Alejandra was so kind and took such great care of both our dogs. She was flexible in he scheduling and available when needed. Sent so many great updates and photos! Will be our first call for the next time! Thank you! You will not go wrong with Alejandra!”
