“Sidnhy is fantastic! She was kind and attentive to Oscar and Daisy and mindful of their tricky med regimens. Communication and reliability could not be better. I will definitely be contacting Sidnhy again! Thank you so much!”


“Kaleigh was an absolute life saver! She helped me last minute when I had to go out of town for work and provided such a great service. My cat Oma is pretty shy when it comes to meeting new people and Kaleigh did an amazing job of making her feel comfortable enough to come out, get lovings, and play. I appreciated her sending all the daily updates with pictures and loved seeing Oma being taken care of properly. If I could give her 10 stars I would. Thanks Kaleigh.”


About: I have volunteered in animal rescue for 8 years. I have cleaned kennels, fostered, TNR, transport, fundraising events and personality rescued. I am currently working part-time as a PCNA and I am certified in BLS CPR. I have a full FBI fingerprinting and background check available upon request. I have 5 dogs and 4 cats. 0 children and 1 awesome husband. I am also attending Nursing School, which will be my 2nd career and 3rd college degree. I insist on a FREE meet and greet before any services are rendered. Please reach out with any questions. I am working my 1st job only Sat and Sun for the summer. Any other times and dates are negotiable. I will commit to scheduled times and give a 3 day notice if I need to cancel booked services. I am extremely dependable and flexible. Just ask. I will care for your pets as you instruct, unless to do so, would harm your pet or myself. I do not mind written, detailed instructions. I will send pet pictures to any number upon request. I will bring in mail or packages at no additional charge.

“Leilani is very good with dogs. Rover immediately went up to her with no hesitation and was completely comfortable being around her. She made sure that she understood everything about Rover’s personality and I could tell that she is very knowledgeable about dogs and how to properly care for them. I am very confident that my dog will be getting exemplary care when he will stay with her. Rover clearly did not want her to leave when her visit with him was over.”


About: I've taken care of dogs since getting my first dog when I was 6! Since then, I've owned two dogs and have had a plethora of dog sitting experience for neighbors and family members. I'm excited to meet your pet! I will be working an internship in Bedford Heights from 9-5 Monday through Friday, so I'll be able to check in on your pets all day on weekends and in the mornings and evenings throughout the week. In your home, I follow your dog's routine closely—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific care instructions you provide. I make sure they feel at ease in their familiar surroundings while keeping their safety and well-being at the forefront.

“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 have owned and fostered countless dogs in my home. Ive done Everything from senior care to delivering puppies and kittens. I can even bottle feed. I was also a veterinary assistant for 1.5 years. I can pretty much board anytime. However, we do have dogs of our own so they must be dog friendly If you board in our home. I'm also available to walk dogs as my work schedule allows. I have a fenced yard and other pups for your dog to play with. I can crate your dog if needed. I can bathe and clip nails if needed.

About: My household has always been home to animals! From fish and guinea pigs to cats and dogs I’ve always treated all my pets with unconditional love! From a young age I would help friends and family with their animals and the past couple years I’ve been consistently pet sitting for a number of families! I’d love to add your pet to my circle of furry friends! I’m a college student that is 100% online so I have a lot of flexibility! I understand that some pets need a little more care than others! Not only will I give your pets the best care, I will make sure to respect your home - wether it’s stopping in to take your dogs on a quick walk or staying a few days while you’re gone! I currently have a dog and two cats in the home I live in, so things like walks, scheduled feeding times, allergy meds, and lots of treats are no strangers to me!

About: I’ve taken care of animals for years. Whether it’s a baby bunny or a Great Pyrenees. I’ve had dogs and cats of my own and am very comfortable handling any kind of dog. I’m well known at the shelter I volunteer at for getting through to the more timid animals! I am attending school in the fall so pet care is my main priority now!! I have plenty of time to take care of them! I’ve walked multiple different sized dogs without difficulty and have successfully deescalated fighting situations several times between dogs. I love the outdoors so long walks and hikes are always an option for your pup!! As for cat parents, I don’t mind if your cat wants to play for hours or just curl up and take a nap! Either way they’ll all get the attention they need!

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.

“Loved all the pics I received, looks like my babies were well taken care of & had fun with Joylyn.”


“Jennifer took excellent care of our tiny Tonkinese queen while we were out of town. She was responsive, communicative and treated our girl like the royalty she thinks she is. Cannot recommend Jennifer enough if you’re looking for in-home care for your furbaby!!!!”


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. :)

About: I have had animals in my life since I was six months old and have helped care for them since I can remember. I've been married to my husband for 33 years and we have had cats, dogs, ferrets, and fish that. We are empty nesters so our complete focus is on our dogs and your dogs when they come to join our pack. I just retired so I am home all day everyday except when I have appointments. My husband Dan is also retired. So we have all kinds of time to care for your pet. Meet the team! My name is Ruth and I'm the female human in the house and my Dan is the male human in the house. Then comes Maisy, our 6 year old toy aussiedoodle, followed by her two year old half sister Gertie, our mini aussiedoodle. Maisy is more laid back and she gets along with other laid back dogs preferably. Gertie on the other hand loves all people and all dogs. I will treat your dog like our own under our care. We offer leashed walks in our dog friendly neighborhood, belly rubs, playing fetch and generally chasing each other around in fun. My house is more the dogs home than ours - where they have furniture privileges except the tables. If they are staying the night, they will be allowed to stay in our bed or we can crate as upon preference.

“Lori was wonderful with my dog!! Highly recommend I got a picture on every walk . It was nice to see her while we were away”


About: I’ve had animals all my life, and would love the opportunity to pamper yours! My husband and I have a six month old great Dane/English mastiff puppy in our home, so puppy training is very fresh in our minds! That being said, if doing any in-home pet sitting, our girl adores all other kinds of dogs from Yorkie sized, all the way to her size! We will love and care for your fur babies just as much as we love ours! We are very much open to overseeing any animal’s care as we have experience in most pet departments, and if we do not, we’ll be sure to let you know! My husband and I both work full time as I’m a nurse & he works in the trades. But, that being said, between the two of us, our schedules are relatively flexible! And if we are not available, we will be open and honest as such! We have a fenced in back yard, a cockatiel named Ellie, and as stated, we have our 6 mo. old pup, Willow, at home who is the best girl with other dogs! We have a large crate available if needed and can tend to whatever needs your pup requires!

About: My name is Kimberly and I am currently 30 years old - my husband and I have been taking care of all kinds of animals since we were children, however I moved to working with dogs professionally at the age of 20; I have enjoyed every moment since! We recently moved to Elyria however 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 we can do for the pets entrusted in our care. We currently own 3 cats and they are all our world and best friends. While I love all animals, dogs are my true passion 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! My husband has a full time work schedule however this is my full time position - you don't need to worry about my schedule pulling me in different directions. I treat house-sitting as if I am working from home and I will not be away from your pets for very long. If we are 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! We treat others homes just as sacredly as ones pets and we are more than happy to take in all mail/packages, water your plants, be home for any needed maintenance and we are there to alert you of any home changes or emergencies! We 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.

“Great experience. Good communication. Would recommend.”

“Kimberly is a wonderful and loving pet owner who has been involved in rescue since I met her. I 100% recommend her for anyone looking for a responsible and caring sitter/dog walker, etc. I have known her for quite a few years and she has even adopted cats from me. Only a handful of people have ever been trusted enough to direct adopt a cat from me and she did it 3 times! I would trust her with my personal pets any day.”

“Having grown up with dogs and cats her whole life, Lola has the compassion and knowledge for taking care of animals of all kinds! She genuinely cares for everyone’s pets as if they were her own! Lola is using her passion for the caring of animals and will be starting the vet tech program in the fall and hopefully then pursuing a career in veterinary medicine. She is definitely someone I would trust to take care of my animals!”


10. Jennifer M.
“Jenn has cared for my dogs for a couple years. I needed a sitter during my work shift. My dogs were immediately drawn to her when we did the meet and greet. I was able to see her passion and love for dogs. Her interaction with them was great and I knew immediately that she would be a perfect fit. I enjoyed the picture updates during her visit and receiving those pictures during my work shift always made my day. I have a ring camera in my backyard and I love seeing my dogs enjoy their time outside and her genuine interaction playing with them and petting them. I mean who doesn't love belly rubs. My pups love her and if they knew how to type they would be writing a testimonial too. They would also say that I am a helicopter dog mom, and that Jenn comes highly recommended since I trust her with my pups. She has pups of her own and she treated mine like they were her own.”
