“Amy was absolutely fantastic with my three cats while we were away for over a week. She was always on time, sent great pictures, was communicative, played with them each visit and really knew their personalities a few days in! I made a mistake with my dates and realized I would be back the day after I intended and Amy was exceptionally flexible with date changes and took care of my babies an extra day, which I’m so grateful for. We came home to three well fed, taken care of, happy and playful cats! Highly recommend Amy to take care of your furry babies!”


“We had a wonderful experience working with Emily — We chose her based on her positive reviews and her willingness to do a meet-and-greet ahead of our trip. Our two friendly senior cats warmed up to her without hesitation, and all throughout our interactions Emily’s communication was exemplary — she’s so kind and thorough, and she sent lots of photos and updates through the Rover app. Even though it was a holiday and we expressed that we were totally flexible, she still took great care to maintain the cats’ regular routines and feeding times while we were away, and we’re so grateful for that! She ensured that all of their needs were met — including administering joint supplements and making sure litter boxes were clean, water was fresh, and lots of treats were enjoyed! Emily is warm and trustworthy, and we will absolutely hire her again the next time we need someone to check in on our fur babies for us! Five out of five cat paws.”


“Super detailed reports were very appreciated during our busy trip! She also got Tito to play which isn’t easily done as a “stranger” to Tito. Would definitely recommend!”


“Octavia was amazing with our dogs! She sent photos and kept me updated every time she visited. We are always nervous to leave our dogs when going out of town but Octavia always made me feel that they were being taking care of with tons of love. I strongly recommend her!!”


“Morgan was so sweet, polite, & professional. She arrived early and even stayed a little later than we originally scheduled for. Kissy warmed up to her right away. Morgan was so sweet and gentle with her and spoiled her with belly rubs & attention:) I felt really comfortable leaving her in Morgan’s care. Would definitely use her again in the future!”


About: I have had dogs in my family since I was little and adopted a little tuxedo cat two years ago. I have worked for various humane societies and watched family and friends pets for the past 8 years. Happy to watch dogs or cats! I will be available full-time from June through early August, so pet care will be a central part of my daily routine. With a very flexible schedule, I’m able to prioritize each pet’s unique needs, whether that means regular walks, playtime, feeding, or just providing companionship. I'm committed to giving pets consistent attention and care throughout the day and adapting to any specific routines they may already have. Since I’m not able to have pets in my apartment, I provide care in my clients' homes. I focus on maintaining the pet’s regular routine in a familiar environment, which helps reduce stress and keep them comfortable. I’m attentive to each pet’s needs, whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, administering medication, or just spending quality time together. I also make sure to keep the home tidy and follow any specific instructions the owner provides.

“Sprout is clearly an animal lover! My puppy had a great time. Sprout is a great communicator! I felt at ease leaving my puppy at home while I went on a trip.”


“Audrey was amazing with my fur baby, Miley! She was so kind and patient. She took lots of photos and always communicated well during my trip away. I’m so thankful for Audrey’s help with Miley!”


“Angela was fantastic! She came over to meet us and our pets and exchange information prior to our weekend away. She followed our directions, spent quality time with our pets, gave lots of feedback (which is really important to us) and photos, and left the house in good condition. We will definitely be using her services again. Can't say enough good things about our experience!”


About: I’ve helped take care of and train dogs of various sorts and sizes since I can walk along with my dad. I’ve gotten my love for animals as a whole from him and it’s the perfect therapy and job. Having many dogs, cats, birds, turtles, fish and pet crabs throughout my life has helped me to have an extra sense of care, love, and attention for all animals. I’m currently working part-time, so I’m available to play, train, and care for your lovable furry friend 7 days a week from 8am to 2pm and 9pm to 12am. I have a fenced front yard and backyard for your lovely pets to freely roam and play with me. I also have a 7 year old Shih Tzu and a 2 year old cat (both females) whom are very loving, calm, and ecstatic to meet a new friend. A crate is available upon request as well.

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats of all kinds, including my own, since I could walk. I have a 2 year old lab and 14 year old lab, so I'm very good with both puppies and seniors! I'm currently working remote on Tuesdays and Thursdays, so I'll have plenty of time to drop in and play. Once the school year starts, I'm a law student so I'll also have plenty of time outside of class! I can do whatever is needed to keep your pet safe and happy in your home, whether you have a fenced in yard or no yard at all.

About: I have experience with caring for all types of dogs from puppies to elderly dogs! I am flexible and would love to help out with walks or dog sitting. I am currently at Case Western for medical school and am looking to make a little extra money. I am pretty flexible during the week. I am happy to help with taking your dog for a walk, watching he/she at your home, or playing with it outside, even in the cold!

About: I have helped take care of the plethora of family pets since I was ten. I have experience with dogs of all sizes (I grew up with two greyhounds), cats (we had three), and other animals such as rodents and aquatic life. I currently work part-time in the mornings, so I have plenty of time in the mid afternoon and/or early evening and night to visit your pet(s). In your home, I will do my best to follow your pet's routine to maintain familiarity and comfort. I will take extra care to keep your home and pet safe, ensuring that all doors/gates are closed, and that pets are always supervised during walks and outdoor play.

“Lauren took good care of my dog Titus, while I was away, and I could not have been more pleased with the experience. She was incredibly attentive and loving, taking the time to understand my dog's needs and personality. She provided regular updates and cute photos, which really put my mind at ease. I could see that Titus was happy and well cared for. Upon return, Titus seemed relaxed and content, which is a testament to the wonderful care he received. If you're looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter, I highly recommend Lauren.”


About: I've spent my entire life around German Shepherds, which has given me deep insight into dog behavior, training, and care. From energetic puppies to wise seniors, I’ve handled every stage of a dog’s life with patience, love, and experience. What sets me apart is my intuitive understanding of dogs’ needs and my calm, confident approach to care. I work during the day, but my schedule is flexible enough to provide consistent, reliable pet care. I make time in the mornings, evenings, and weekends for walks, feedings, playtime, and check-ins. If your pet needs midday attention, I can often adjust my work hours to accommodate their routine. I’m committed to making sure your pet feels cared for, safe, and loved. I would be thrilled to watch your pet overnight for extended periods of time as I live in an apartment complex that is very spacious, has wooded floors and has great walking spaces around. Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or yours, their safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I create a calm, structured environment where pets feel secure and loved. I follow your pet’s routine closely—meals, walks, playtime, and any special needs—to keep things familiar and stress-free. In your home, I treat your space with the same respect and care I give your pet, maintaining a clean and secure environment. In my home, pets have access to safe indoor and outdoor spaces, plenty of attention, and zero overcrowding—I only take a limited number of pets at a time to ensure everyone gets the care they deserve. I also keep constant and open communication with regular updates, so you can relax knowing your pet is in trustworthy, caring hands. I also vacuum and clean floors regularly to ensure fur is kept off the common spaces! I'm very accommodating to any needs or special requests so please never hesitate to go the extra mile when discussing your pet's needs with me!

About: I’ve had a dog for over seven years now and taking care of him has been one of my favorite things! I am a law student so I love spending my free time with animals to de-stress and have taken care of lots of dogs for family members and friends throughout the years. Your dog will be extremely cared for and will receive lots of love. Although I’m a full-time law student, my schedule is very flexible. I’m able to work around most things as long as I have some notice. I’m very particular and safety is my top priority so I will make sure your dog is well taken care of and all of their needs are being met. I’m also very affectionate so your dog will be getting a lot of hugs!

Shermont'e P.Star Sitter
“Shermont’e is a loving and caring individual when it comes to others’ needs and animals. For the 5 years I’ve known Shermont’e or Mont’e, the main thing that stuck out to me was his willingness to go above and beyond for his own pets and others’. Shermont’e treats my dog (Fancy) like his own and even reaches out to me when he misses her. I would recommend and refer Shermont’e over 100 times to the next person. He has great service, very dependable, helps train your animal, respectful, and flexible.”

I would highly recommend Anne to entrust your pet to a very sincere pet lover.”
