“Elinor was amazing! She just love cats! The way she connected with our boys was just impressive! They loved her since the first day!! For us it was a relief, knowing that they liked her! Every time she played with them, gave a lot of pets!! That makes a difference. And she took care of my plants and tomatoes :) I wont hesitate to book with her again! Cause I know that our boys will be in good hands!!!! I only have good things to say about her!!! I appreciate all she has done while we were gone on vacations!”

“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!!”

About: I’ve grown up with both dogs and cats my entire life, and caring for animals has always been something I genuinely love. I’ve pet sat for neighbors, friends, and family, caring for pets with different personalities, routines, and needs. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. What sets me apart is that I’m also a registered nurse. My career has made me compassionate, dependable, detail-oriented, and attentive to changes in behavior or health. I have a natural instinct for noticing when something doesn’t seem quite right, and I always prioritize safety and communication. I understand that pets are family, and I promise to treat yours with the same love, patience, and care I would give my own. I currently work part time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to the pets I care for. Whether it’s going on walks, playing, keeping them active, sticking to their routine, or simply giving them companionship throughout the day, I’m happy to provide the care they need. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and will make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Since I live in the city, I don’t have a fenced yard, but that doesn’t stop my dog from getting plenty of exercise and attention! I have one dog of my own and also frequently care for my neighbor’s dog. We go on regular walks throughout the day, visit nearby grassy areas for bathroom breaks, and enjoy trips to the park just up the street for extra exercise and playtime. I also have a crate available if your dog is crate trained or if you’d like them crated for rest, bedtime, or while I’m briefly away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow their routine as closely as possible. I make sure they’re fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of exercise, playtime, bathroom breaks, and, of course, lots of love and attention. My goal is to help every pet feel comfortable, safe, and happy while their family is away.
About: Hi there! My name is Maddie and I just moved to the Cleveland area from Oregon! I have been a pet sitter/dog walker for 12+ years. I had quite a few ongoing clients back in Portland that varied from cats, elderly dogs requiring medications, and hyper active puppy breeds that I kept up on their leash training. I currently work from home full time so I’m able to stay with your pets for extended periods of time. I welcome meet and greets and will send photos of your fur babies consistently! I currently am working from home full time but crave to get out of the house during my breaks and lunch time to go for walks! If your pup or cat need some extra love during the day I am able to work from your home for extended hours as well if requested. I make sure to follow all directions and instructions left for me when caring for pets in their homes! Making sure to ask all safety questions, allergies, okay around other pets, etc to make sure that all parties involved are safe and comfortable!
“Emily did a great job taking care of our cats while we were out of town! She’s very friendly and responsive too. We won’t hesitate to use her services again in the future!”


About: I’ve had dogs since forever, I love mine more than anything. My experiences dog sitting and cat sitting range from my neighbors and family to taking care of animals on my uncles farm. I love meeting people’s pets so it would be my pleasure to meet more!! My dog Ruby is 15 years old and I love her to death, I can’t imagine her being alone all day. I go to college full time at Cleveland State University. I do play in multiple orchestras as well, but although I’m busy I have time in between classes and in the afternoons/evenings that I struggle to fill! I would love to have a slow morning taking care of a pet, or going on a walk, so I am very flexible. I understand that all pets have their own personality, and honestly the best way to take care of them relies on me getting to know them. The quirks about pets are my favorite thing about them, and I am willing to work with any needs they have. I love spending time with any animal and making sure they feel loved and entertained.
“James was so amazing with our 2 dogs! We had a pet emergency and he was able to pick them up last minute and watch them while we were away. His wife is also so sweet and caring! Would highly recommend him!”

“My dog Micky loves Altagracia! She's an excellent communicator and keeps me informed of any issues that arise. She is conscientious and positive about the work. I highly recommend Altagracia for your pet sitting needs.”

“Marti took great care of my two kitties! I would recommend her to anyone looking for a drop in sitter. She was very communicative and helpful. I came home to two happy cat brothers😻”

“Abby was great! She communicated well before her visit and did a phenomenal job checking in while I was away. Will absolutely recommend her to others and plan to keep using her help.”

“Tyler was fantastic and we wood definitely book with him again! We appreciated the chance to speak with him through a pre-visit and introduce him to our pets. He was very communicative with us, and took great care to spend quality time with our pets during each visit. His photos brought smiles to our faces and allowed us to relax, knowing that our pets were receiving excellent care.”

About: I'm just getting started taking care of pets professionally, but I've been looking after my friends and family's dogs since I was a kid. Looking forward to getting to know you and your four legged friends! I'm currently in grad school at the UofM, so my schedule is mostly dependent on when I have class. For the most part, I am available both weekdays and weekends. I am looking forward to visiting your pets in your home and treating that space with the respect it deserves! If you have any questions about my pet-sitring philosophy, don't hesitate to ask!
“Debbie has looked after my dog a couple times now and she is just amazing. She communicates well and it’s very obvious that she loves what she’s doing. My dog loves her and I can tell Debbie takes good care of her when she watches her.”

“Olivia is professional and reliable. She provided out cats and dogs with great care. We appreciated the way she communicated and was able to help us out with almost zero notice. 5 stars!”

Alexis was wonderful! Oliver can be a little sassy at first, but he warmed up to Alexis and was so well taken care of! We also really appreciated the little extras, like washing his bowls and cleaning up. It was so thoughtful and nice to come home to! We’re so grateful for the care Alexis gave Oliver and would absolutely recommend Alexis to anyone looking for a great sitter. Thank you again for everything!

Marina came by to check in on my cats, feed them and clean their box while I was out of town. She communicated well, offered to meet beforehand and made sure she followed through with the procedure of taking care of my four cats. I hope to have her back when I’m out of town again, as she was very reliable.

Jimena is great! When I first met her for the meet and greet, I knew immediately that I could trust her to provide my 3 dogs and 1 cat with the best possible care over the next four days (while I was out of town). Over those 4 days, whenever she had a question, she did not hesitate to ask. She also provided me with updates, including pics, after every visit. When I arrived back, everything was very clean and orderly. No complaints whatsoever. Will definitely ask her back the next time I have to travel.
