About: Hi! I’m Lindsey. I am 39 years old and have two sons ages 18 and 16. I am a licensed practical nurse and I have had animals since I was 7 years old. I love just about every critter there is. I have had cats and dogs of all sizes. My skills include: dog walking, feeding, playing, companionship, administering any medications, urinary incontinence and diaper use, following necessary diets, and lots of belly rubs. I am familiar with most collars and leads. I can host up to two dogs a day in my home if they are from the same family, possibly more if they are small dogs. I have a fenced in yard. Puppies are welcome. I have been operating this business full time since September of 2019 and I have a very loyal client base. I am an energetic loving animal sitter who is looking forward to meeting you and your family pets! We are a homeschooling family who spends most time at...you guessed it! Home! Check our calendar for availability! We would love to meet you and your family! Here we have a fenced in backyard so we get lots of outside play time in. When the weather is nice we also like to go to our local area park. We have toy boxes filled with treasures for your fur baby to enjoy. We also made sure to stock our cabinets full of treats....just in case!!! ☺️ I have been passionately working full time in this pet care business since the beginning of September 2019. It has lead me to become the proud owner of Harleys Hounds LLC. I absolutely love what I do and I love meeting all of your furry family members! My main goal is to make sure your fur babies feel safe, secure, loved, and as if they are having a vacation of their own!

Marissa is awesome! She has been walking Lilly for over a week now, and I couldn't be happier. She is dependable, always comes in the time frame I ask, and I feel that she cares about my dog. She always gives me updates in addition to the card that Rover gives you. As a dog trainer myself, I have met several dog walkers who don't actually know how to walk a dog. You can rest assured that Marissa will properly walk your dog. I highly recommend that if you need a dog walker to look no further than Marissa.

My dog looked forward to his walks with Brittany. We think he really misses his walks with her. Brittany helped us walk our dog daily while my parents were watching my dog for 10 days. She was great with communication, reliable and great with my dog. Would absolutely recommend and use her again!

About: *covered by both Rover and personal PCI insurance! 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 taken care many dogs in my family. As well as senior dogs that needed medication when it came to feeding time. I have taught my dogs to do little tricks. Pet care can fit into my daily and weekly routine very easily and I have a car so I can be to the home on time. I follow what the owner wants for the pets. I will always make it a point to have the pet go to the bathroom before I leave, and play with toys or outside before I fully leave each time.

About: I have always had dogs my whole life growing up. Recently our two dogs have gone through a board and train program and I have learned alot from that! I’m currently working a full time job. I am available in the afternoons usually and could do pop in visit during the day depending on the time. I am usually available after 5pm for sure but can work out times during the day that would work! I have a fenced in yard on my property. I can take your dog for a walk ; let them out for potty breaks however you usually do. I can Crate your dog as I have experience with that as well.

About: Hello! I would love to be a full time dog mom but until then I’d love to shower your pet with love! I have been housesitting/pet sitting for many years now and for multiple wonderful families. I love big dogs, small dogs, cats, turtles, guinea pigs, chickens and even spiders!! I am completely comfortable administering insulin and giving oral meds. I also understand pets have different diets. I’m able to walk multiple dogs at a time and understand each has their own distinct personality 🙂 I am an honest and trust worthy and come with references if requested. So go ahead and enjoy your vacation or get in a full days work. Let me take care of your beautiful pet(s)! Animals bring us comfort and joy, let us take care of them ☺️ I have a pretty open schedule. Right now Wednesdays I take care of a 5 month old baby, one American Eskimo with an ACL repair and one orange playful cat. It is important to follow the needs and wants of the pets owners as they know their pets best and I take care of their pets accordingly.

About: I’ve got a large fenced in yard and two boys (dogs) that love to play. In the summer there will be a shallow dog pool to cool off in as well. My goldendoodle frequently will lay in it. Plenty of toys/stimulation. My dogs enjoy playing with puppies but also do really well with older/senior dogs. Plenty of bathroom breaks and attention as I am home full time. I’m also available for drop-ins, walks, and giving meds with food if needed. I am home full time and can work with your current daily or weekly routine. I start my day at 5am and don't stop until around 9-10pm. I have a large fenced in yard and two male (neutered) dogs of my own! Small shallow dog pool when the weather is nice. Dogs are fed in separate rooms. Lounging on the couch chairs is absolutely acceptable here!

Extremely reliable, communicative, and the dogs absolutely love him—we couldn’t ask for a better daily visit than our walks with CJ! He provides so much peace of mind, knowing my dogs are being well cared for when I can’t be there. The adorable photo updates are always a joy, and it’s clear that he puts a lot of effort into building relationships with his clients—human and furry friends alike.
