Brittany was very patient with my senior dog and kept me informed during her visit. Brittany was very punctual, and was very gracious about having to clean up when my dog had an accident.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have over 15 years of hands-on pet care experience with a wide range of breeds and sizes, including Saint Bernards, English Mastiffs, Golden Retrievers, Doodles, Beagles, Poodles, Huskies, Bully breeds, and Chihuahuas. I’m comfortable with daily care routines such as feeding, walking, bathing, nail trimming, and administering medication when needed. I also care for cats. I focus on providing dependable, loving care in a home environment so pets feel safe, well cared for, and comfortable while their owners are away. I work at a marina that is closed during the winter, so I am currently home every day and available full time, when the weather warms up I will be available part time. I provide a safe, calm, and family-friendly home environment where pets are treated like part of the family. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, medication, and any specific care instructions provided by the owner. Pets in my home receive plenty of attention, regular potty breaks, and supervision throughout the day. For drop-in visits at a client’s home, I make sure pets are fed, walked or let out, and cared for according to their usual routine, while also checking water, litter boxes, and overall well-being. I always respect the owner’s home and provide updates so they feel confident their pet is safe and well cared for.

About: I cared for a wonderful Pomeranian for 17 years, giving me extensive experience with small breeds and senior dogs. For the past two years, I’ve also been dog sitting a friend’s Maltipoo, who stays with me for extended periods. These experiences have strengthened my ability to provide patient, attentive, and reliable care for dogs of all ages and personalities. When caring for any pet, their needs are always my top priority. I’m home often, which means every pet in my care receives plenty of loving attention, along with frequent bathroom breaks and walks throughout the day. Your pet will always feel cared for, comfortable, and never overlooked. In my home, pets are treated like family. I provide a calm, safe, and loving environment where they can relax, play, and feel comfortable. Every pet receives individual attention, plenty of affection, and care tailored to their needs so they feel happy and secure while in my care.

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!

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.

About: I have had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember. I took care of our dog for at least 5 years up until he passed away. I have been learning to train dogs as well. I currently work full time, Monday through Friday, and I have extra time and love to give to dogs that need a place to stay. I have a partially fenced in yard that is on the process of being fixed/finished. I can easily separate dogs if needed. I will provide walks as long as weather permits.

About: I’m a stay at home mom and we love dogs! We have two dogs of our own but since we are at home all the time I thought it would be great to go let other dogs out whose owners can’t be home all the time! If your dog is kid friendly, it would be great to teach my son responsibility and help, he loves helping with our dogs! I have had a dog since I was 5 and as soon as I could, I got a dog of my own! We love dogs and since we can’t get another one right now it would be fun to see and care for a bunch of other dogs! I’m a stay at home mom, so fitting in pet care is not a problem at all. Whether they need walked or just let out, we are in no rush I can easily care for your pet in your home. Feed them when they’re hungry, take them for walks and or play fetch if they need to let out some energy, give a bath if they get too muddy. Whatever the dogs need!
