“Kaleigh is the best! My grumpy kitty does very well with her. Everything was done as requested and Kaleigh kept me informed on everything that was done while I was away. Thanks, Kaleigh!”
“I really appreciate you stopping over and taking care of Murphy! Gabrielle checked in when she got there, gave him time to go to the bathroom, walked him and made sure he had water. My dog vomited once before she got there and she cleaned it up and even took a picture so I could know what was going on. I would definitely use Gabrielle again!”

About: I've been around animals all my life. From dogs and cats to horses. I would love the opportunity to meet and take care of your pets like they were my own. I can give medicine both pills and liquid. I hope to hear from you all, thanks!! Pets are a huge part of my life and honestly I probably like them more than most people. I'm free pretty much after 5 everyday and all day on days off. The point is I'll make time for your pets! I have a fenced in yard and 2 dogs (labradoodle Calvin french bulldog Maggie) who are both friendly and would love to hang out with your pets.
“Alexis did a wonderful job taking care of our cat, Timmy. I would highly recommend her!”
“Our first time hiring Haleigh as our regular sitter was out of town. Hadleigh took good care of 6 of our cats, posted daily updates of her visits, brought in the mail & vacuumed!! Highly recommend.”
About: If you’re looking for someone to love on your pups and spend some one on one time with them while you’re arway, I’d love to be the person to do that for you! I’ve owned dogs and cats my whole life. I presently have 4 Aussies and a senior chihuahua and we are a fun family! Keeping up with my Aussies has been most rewarding! They are high energy and always needing an activity to do so I am always engaging with them in some way, whether it be puzzles, games, walks, grooming… ect. I have two Aussies that don’t particularly like each other and we have worked with them for some time to turn that around. I have experience with behavioral based training and positive reinforcement training which gives me some experience to work with challenging furbabies if you have any. I keep my availability updated and would like to hear from you if you think I’d be a fit for you and your family! I work full time and I am presently available on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays at the moment. I have some availability Sundays through Wednesdays. I keep my availability updated and it is accurate up to 9/30/25. Please feel free to message me with your needs and we can figure out care for your furbabies! I will love your furbabies as if they are my own. My furbabies are my children and they get the best care from my husband and I. They are a priority for us and I recognize your pets as priorities of mine as well. I’ll give them the care that I give my own. If there’s any specialties that I need to be aware of, please let me know and I will accommodate that into my care for your furbabies. I’d love to meet with you to discuss future opportunities to work with your furbabies.
About: I grew up with dogs, volunteer at an animal shelter, and have had my own dogs for 20+ years. I have two of my own currently and love being with them. I have experience with puppies all the way up through senior dogs. They will be in great hands! I teach so the summer is an ideal time to do drop in visits. When the school year is in full swing, I’ll be a bit more limited. I believe communication and transparency are key. Clear, detailed instructions will be very helpful. Picture and text updates after each visit I would love to provide.

“Great experience. Good communication. Would recommend.”
“Lindsey is the best and most reliable pet sitter! She takes care of everything and is communicative and proactive with all things related to your pets and your hone. She is highly recommended!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life, have learned a lot extensively these past 4 1/2 years, a lot about their behavior, body language different personalities, etc. I’ve trained and worked with senior dogs and puppies as young as 14 weeks old! Pet care is a daily routine for me. Once I get up in the morning I let my dog out, feed both him and my cat, make sure they’ve both got plenty of water. I will either take my dog out on walks or exercise and train with him in the backyard. I do brush them (or try to) weekly as well. Depending on the type of yard the home has, I will either A. Let dog(s) out in fenced back yard Or B. Let dog(s) out on lead. If one is not friendly with another I can crate and rotate to prevent issues and ensure both dogs (or as many as there are) are all shown the right amount of attention and care! As far as cats go I like to take my time as I know not all of them are social, I tend to not push boundaries and let them do as they please while they have time to warm up to me. :)
“Great as always.”
About: My name is Kimberly and I am currently 31 years old - I have been taking care of all kinds of animals since I was a child, however I moved to working with dogs professionally at the age of 20; I have enjoyed every moment since! My husband & I recently moved to Elyria however we previously lived in Cleveland Heights where I worked at a local dog boarding and daycare center where I was responsible for the well being of upwards of 35-50 dogs, ensuring each and every dog was able to relax in their new environment, providing all meals and medication as well as ensuring the safety of all social dogs in a group together. This position gave me the most valuable knowledge possible and has solidified my idea that stress free care is one of the most important things I can do for the pets entrusted in my care. My husband & I currently own 3 cats and they are all our world and best friends; while I love all animals, dogs are my true passion however and I have extensive experience with many different breeds, sizes, temperaments, energy drives, worker breeds/service dogs, etc. I am also able to provide you with the comfort of knowing all medications and health needs will be met, as I have plenty of experience providing care for senior/health compromised dogs that follow a strict medication/feeding schedule. I am very comfortable with administering shots, pill shoots as well as old fashion 'pilling' a dog with some PB! After the pandemic and working an office job remotely for 2 years, I have stepped aside from that life and am looking to focus more on spending my days enjoying my passion: taking care of your pup and creating a relaxed, stress free experience for you both. I have a background in customer service so bringing you peace of mind, going above and beyond, and creating special experiences is something im happy to be able to do! This is my full time position so you don't need to worry about my schedule pulling me in different directions; there is extra security with my dog experienced/dog obsessed husband being close by and able to help in an kind of possible emergency that might keep me from my usual schedule. I treat house-sitting as if I am working from home and I will not be away from your pets for longer than 4-5hrs at a time, and am happy to/prefer to spend the night so your pet/home aren't alone or unsupervised. If I am in your home you can find peace in the fact that not only your pets will be safe but your home is protected as well! I treat others homes just as sacredly as ones pets, and I am more than happy to take in all mail/packages, water your plants, be home for any needed maintenance or to alert you of any home changes or emergencies. I also have extensive knowledge of what to do for all weather emergencies as well such as tornado warnings, winter storms, heavy flooding etc and you can rest easy on your vacation knowing that your pet is safe and all steps are taken to ensure your home and pet will stay protected!

About: I have always had a good connection with dogs and cats. I love all animals and we have 2 rescues of our own. 1 dog and 1 three legged cat. I care for both of our pets on a daily basis. Between feeding, petting, bathing, walking. The best part is when they play together and loving each other. We have a fenced in yard and kept as clean as possible. Our animals are fed on a schedule and given treats for positive reinforcement. Plus everyday duties that may occur.

Jennifer M.
“Hello, I would like to recognize the outstanding care that Jennifer Martin has for dogs. She as done very well taking care of my 16 year old Chihuahua. The dog absolutely loves her. Jenn seems to have a great connection with dogs and is very in tune with their personalities and needs. I haven’t seen a dog yet that doesn’t like her. I’ve witnessed her as both a caregiver and also a care receiver. When she seeks care, she take the time to make sure the care giver is going to be a good fit for her dogs, likewise, she invests the time to make sure she will be a good fit for the dogs that she cares for. Additionally, she is completely reliable. Always comes when she says she will and provides updates during her stay. I can’t recommend her enough. You can’t go wrong.”
Brianne H.
“Brianne is incredibly responsible, experienced, and caring with animals. She is truly a dog lover. She embraces every aspect of dog ownership - playing, walking, and monitoring their general well-being. She will do whatever is necessary to create a good life for her pets. She is also experienced in dealing with high energy dogs, having had a German shorthair pointer herself, and having volunteered at a dog rescue. Anyone could rest at ease knowing their dog is in great hands with her!”
