Pet Sitting Downtown

About: As a lifelong animal lover, I understand that pets are family, and I strive to provide the same level of care, attention, and patience that I would want for my own. My background in healthcare has taught me how to be responsible, detail-oriented, and attentive to the unique needs of every individual, skills that translate naturally to pet care. I am comfortable caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies who need patience and consistency to senior dogs who may require a gentler pace and extra attention. Whether it's daily walks, drop-in visits, feeding, administering oral medications, reinforcing basic training, or simply providing companionship, I prioritize your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness. I am currently a Master's student in Medical Physiology at Case Western Reserve University, which has helped me develop strong time-management, responsibility, and organizational skills. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals as a balance to my studies. Despite a busy academic schedule, I am very intentional about managing my time and maintaining commitments. Whether it's morning walks, midday drop-in visits, evening care, or weekend sitting, I enjoy incorporating pet care into my routine because it allows me to spend time outdoors and connect with animals while helping pet owners have peace of mind. Caring for pets is something I genuinely enjoy, and I treat every pet with patience, attentiveness, and compassion. As someone pursuing a career in healthcare, I value reliability, clear communication, and attention to detail, and I bring those same qualities to caring for your furry family members. I am committed to ensuring pets feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client's home, I prioritize maintaining their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure while their owner is away. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any specific preferences or needs. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and mental stimulation while also keeping their environment clean and safe. If providing care in my own home, I would ensure pets have a safe, clean, and comfortable environment with plenty of supervision, exercise, fresh water, and opportunities for play and rest. My goal is always to make pets feel as relaxed and loved as possible, whether they are in their own home or mine.

“Em did a great job with my old lady fur baby today. I made a request so late and Em was able to come for a meet and greet so quickly and take care of Stella at very short notice.”

“Molly and Caroline took great care of our cats when we were busy in the middle of a move and when we were away on a short trip. They were great with the cats and very nice. The cats loved them and enjoyed hanging out with them. We wholeheartedly recommend Molly and Caroline to anyone looking for a sitter for their fur babies.”

“Allyson took wonderful care of my puppy and was reliable, attentive, and communicative throughout each visit. I really appreciated the thoughtful check-ins and updates, and she made sure my puppy got plenty of playtime, attention, and care. It gave me such peace of mind knowing she was in great hands while I was away. Would absolutely recommend!”

About: I have two lovely rescues who have 10/10 energy four times a day and I take them to the park once a day for a nice round of zoomies and catch. On rainy days I sometimes go still go if the rain is not too bad (mud is not my friend) I have taken dog training courses to help my dogs adjust to city life and it has been fantastic so far. High energy dogs are welcome with me! I’m currently working from home and I speed walk and run at 7am-9am 12pm-2pm 4pm-6pm 8pm-10pm. If your dog needs a morning run, they can definitely join my pack! I live in a city my entire life and have walked friends dogs so I understand how important it is to get many walks and to get them out of the building ASAP. I have a high sense of urgency and I make sure that my pack is ready for a big NAP during the day!

“Kaitlyn was very communicative throughout the whole visit and supplied many pictures of my cat maizy! Maizy loved her as well.”

Talia E.

“Tyler was fantastic and we wood definitely book with him again! We appreciated the chance to speak with him through a pre-visit and introduce him to our pets. He was very communicative with us, and took great care to spend quality time with our pets during each visit. His photos brought smiles to our faces and allowed us to relax, knowing that our pets were receiving excellent care.”

About: I grew up taking care of a pug. When I was only 4 years old, she came into my life at the young age of two months. She amazingly lived until she was nearly 17. For all those years, I took care of her— playing with her and petting her endlessly. We would often relax together, getting cozy with blankets. She loved to play outside in the yard with me and catch some sun rays too. We bounced off each other's energy. I always made sure she was fed and hydrated and taken outside for the bathroom. My pug Penny had been in my care from the days of her potty training and first learning special commands, to being senile and needing extra assistance in terms of mobility and lack of hearing and sight. More recently, I had dog sat for my friend. My friend's dog needs about 4 hours of walking total per day, so we were always on the move. My friend's dog is getting old, and I could gauge when she was getting tired when we were walking and I adjusted to her needs. I always have water handy. She also loved playing the game where I hid her sheep plushie toy around the house in such good hiding spots that it would impress me when she would almost immediately find it and run it back to me, wanting me to hide it again in a new, more difficult to find spot. I work part time in downtown Cleveland, so I have a lot of free time throughout the week and weekend to dedicate to taking care of your dog. Depending on the day, I could show up periodically throughout the day, or I could pet sit at the house all day long. I do not take care of pets overnight. I pay attention to your dog's needs. I make sure they always have access to water. I set alarms to ensure I feed them at the proper times, taking note of the required measurement of food to feed them. I gladly show them attention and loving care, playing with them when they're enthusiastic about physical activity and having a blast, and petting them and helping them relax when they're feeling like taking a breather or are simply just feeling calm. When it comes to walking dogs, I make sure I'm fully aware of my surroundings. Being observant of other people, other dogs, and drivers at all times, I remain cautious while also keeping up with the dog's pace. I make sure to scan the ground ahead of me in order to avoid debris/poop catching your dog's attention and making them stop in their tracks to sniff/eat it. It's important that your dog doesn't eat things it's not supposed to, and I pay attention to detail and always try to ensure safety when it comes to your dog.

About: Growing up with a variety of pets has really helped deepen my love for animals. I grew up a family of German shepherds, I’ve had snakes, ferrets, cats, even a hedgehog! All my friends and family have relied on me for watching over there furry friends. I am a newly post grad from Kent state and just recently moved to Cleveland. I work as a bartender and my shifts are usually at night up to 8 hours and I always make sure my apartment is set up to assure any pet I am watching is comfortable while I am gone. I also love to go on walks and would love to be accompanied by your pet! Most of my shifts are at night usually starting around 4 and ending around 12 so I always make sure to take any pet I am watching on a long walk before leaving and spending as much time with them in the mornings! I also always try to get off my shift as early as possible while I have a current pet over! I like to treat any pet as my own no matter the size, personality, or behavior. Not only is rover beneficial to you but to me as well for allowing me to spend time with your furry friend!
