Susana did a great job. It was a godsend that she was able to be flexible and adjust things last minute to help me. She was also very fast at responding and gave me great notes/photos at the check ins. Thank you!

Issac was great walking and checking in on Loubie. He was dependable, attentive, and clearly cared about her well-being. Communication was great, and I felt confident she was well taken care of.

I would definitely rebook Faith in a heartbeat! We took in a feral cat quite literally a few days before we left out of town and she was incredible. She was so gracious and offered to meet us in person prior to us leaving for the holiday so she knew where everything was and knew the lay of the land. She filled out the Rover cards, took pictures of our girl, and kept us posted along the way. I felt at ease knowing that Faith was going to be dropping in on our skittish new kitty.

About: I have always had a deep love for animals, especially dogs, and caring for them comes naturally to me. With years of hands-on experience pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors, I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and ages, from energetic puppies to gentle senior dogs who need extra patience and attention. I’m comfortable handling large breeds, small breeds, and everything in between, and I understand how their needs can vary depending on their size and stage of life. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, walks, medications, and of course plenty of playtime and affection. Pet sitting isn’t just a job to me, it’s something I genuinely enjoy and take pride in. I am currently in school but available almost everyday after 3:00 and in the summer available all day, everyday to take care of your pets! I have a large fenced in yard and big house with a big kennel if needed. I have a very friendly cat and cavalier King Charles spaniel however they can easily be separated from your pet if required!

About: i’ve taken care of dogs of all sizes for several years now and always treat them as my own. your dog will feel right at home at my house with lots of room for play time and also lots of cozy places to snuggle! I work full time but am available intermittently through the week and on weekends for daytime and overnight care.

Dogs are always leashed when taken out for safety purposes. Cleanliness is a top priority along with making sure your dog is happy and healthy.

About: I’ve always had a dog, outside of a brief stint in college, and had care responsibilities from an early age. I have taken a dog CPR course. I currently own 2 large boxer mixes named Ben Franklin and Aretha Franklin! They are my buddies and I just live all dogs! Looking forward to helping care for yours! I work from home for myself and have an adaptable schedule, so I can generally work around pet care client needs. I’m open to working with clients to schedule at their convenience. In your home, your rules apply.

About: From a young age, I have always had a pet. I love animals and look forward to taking care of your special pet/s :) I have experience with all ages and tailor my care depending on their individual needs. I am responsible, punctual, and detail-oriented. I am currently a first year law student at Cleveland State, so I have a lot of flexibility with my school schedule. Mondays I have class from 1:00-2:40 pm, Tuesdays & Thursdays from 10:00am-11:15am & 1:00-2:40 pm, and Wednesdays from 10:00-11:45am & 1:00-2:40pm. UPDATE: during the summer I work full time from 8-4:45. My boyfriend and I keep our apartment spotless so your dog/cat would be safe from any foods that may cause them harm! I also love going on walks or cuddling with your pet on the couch.

Erin was wonderful! We have a recently diagnosed diabetic cat and have been anxious about leaving the house. Erin came and met our cat ahead of time to learn his needs and was very thorough to make sure that she could take care of our sweet boy. We felt confident in her ability to administer an insulin injection to our cat, and our two other skittish cats even came out for her! She sent plenty of photos of the babies, was prompt with her arrival, and actively communicated with us leading up to and during her visit. We will absolutely book with Erin again and will recommend her to friends and family.

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: I have taken care of different breeds and ages of dogs. I have taken care of senior-aged dogs with a variety of needs as well as younger pups! I have even gained the trust of more protective/nervous dogs and have successfully taken care of them. I'm a teacher currently on summer break, so I have a lot of time and flexibility to make sure that your amazing pet receives the care they need! During the school year, I make sure that all needs are met before leaving for the day (food, water, walks) and that they get everything they need before bed time! I do my best to care for your pet the same way you would! Any entry routines or special meal time requirements you do for your pet, I'll follow those as well! While there, I keep spaces clean and am very mindful of everything in your home,

Torrey was the best! We have to keep our kitties separated and she was very understanding of that and made us feel comfortable while on vacation.

Genevieve was FABULOUS! I was in town for work and needed someone able to be with my service dog at the Rocket Arena for multiple hours in a row twice a day ... and on very short notice. She was everything I requested and much more. It was obvious that she loves dogs, and we even found quite a lot in common between us. I HIGHLY recommend Genevieve for people who want someone to care as much for their dog(s) as they do themselves. 5 stars; highly recommend!
