About: I’ve been dog (and other pets) sitting for families in my neighborhood since middle school, and I’ve been around dogs my entire life—growing up with two of my own. Over the past two summers, I’ve also worked at a doggy daycare where I cared for pups of all sizes and temperaments. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or just some extra love and attention, I’m passionate about making sure every pet feels well cared for and happy while away from their owners. I’d love the opportunity to care for your cute pets! I’m currently studying for the MCAT and volunteering in the morning time about 10am-1pm. That being said, I have plenty of time throughout my day to take a study break and come play/walk your dogs :) I love spending time with dogs and always treat them with the same care and attention I’d give my own. I’m patient, gentle, and attentive to each dog’s unique needs—whether that means long walks, playtime, or just quiet company. I understand how important it is to keep pets safe, happy, and relaxed while you’re away. I would love to provide a calm and loving environment that your dog can feel comfortable in.
About: Having cared for dogs for the past 20 years, I am familiar with patterns of behavior. I am attentive to every pet's needs. I am especially attuned to those of adult-senior dogs. I have cared for my family's senior dogs with diabetes, cushings, and arthritis. I adopted and loved two senior dogs, one deaf and the other with extreme separation anxiety. Last year, I adopted a young cat and earlier this month a senior cat. I am understanding and patient, knowing that I am caring for animals with individual personalities that come with unique needs. I am a full-time graduate student. I am cognizant that pets like to run on schedules themselves, so I try to accommodate them as needed. When my dogs were alive, I crated one with anxiety and let the other roam the house freely. When entering or exiting a home with pets who are not crated, I am especially cautious when opening or closing doors, fences, or gates. I will always double check that the pet did not sneak by me.
“Thank you for your service”
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 am excited to start my adventure of pet care in Cleveland Heights! I’m new to the area, having lived in the middle of nowhere up until mid March 2025, I’m excited to get to know the area around where I live now and meet new client’s! My entire life my passion has been animals, in one way or another! From a very young age I was fascinated by helping injured wildlife, into my teens I started volunteering for various animal rescue organizations, walked dogs locally for the neighbors and started my own rescue endeavor dealing with reptiles, amphibians and birds – as well as anything I could do if it involved animals and caring for them. I currently run my own pet care service business outside of Rover. However, enjoy using Rover to fill in my schedule and allow me to further help clients in need of professional, compassionate and experienced care for their pets! I have over 20 years of professional pet care experience. From working in kennels, veterinary clinics, farms, studying animal behavior, dog training, dog walking, pet sitting, working in and managing daycare and boarding facilities as well as being active in animal rescue work with a few organizations and personally. I currently dedicate a lot of my free time to working with a 501c3 non-profit reptile rescue located in South Euclid. I strive to provide the best possible care for my client’s pets – when they’re under my car e, I treat them as I’d expect my own pets to be treated. I have experience with aggressive dogs, reactive dogs, all breeds, sizes and life stages. I have medication administration experience as well as nutritional experience so even if your pup or cat needs something slightly outside of the “norm”, I’ve got you covered! I also have experience with many exotic animal species such as raccoons, skunks, mini pigs and large parrot species. I have full time availability for all services I offer. I enjoy taking care of animals as if they're my own, and in my downtime I care for my pets and any foster animals I have. I pay the utmost attention to all clients under my supervision to ensure their safety, health and happiness. I have experience with large groups - up to as many as 20 dogs - under my direct supervision and am capable of monitoring even the most chaotic situation that can arise
“Andrea is one of a kind ! She makes you feel at ease while she is taking care of your fur baby. She goes above and beyond to make sure she knows what your animals personality and needs are . My pup absolutely adores her and looks forward to seeing her every week !”
About: Hello, my name is Shari and I love taking care of pets! I have a lot of experience petsitting for both dogs, cats, rodents and reptiles. I grew up in a house with a lot of pets. Right now I help take care of my family's pets (they have one dog and two cats). Their previous dog, Max (sadly passed away three years ago) suffered from epilepsy and I've personally helped him calm down during his seizures. My friend, Dr. Rebecca Lazarus who is a veterinarian at Westpark Animal Hospital trusts me to watch her pets while she is out of town. She and her partner currently have five cats, four dogs, three pet rats, and a leopard gecko. Her pets require different medications and special foods which requires a lot of supervision and making sure everyone finishes their meals and takes their medicine. I am happy to provide a number of references if you would like! I would also prefer to schedule a meet-and-greet so we can talk more about any specialized needs required for your pet, and so that you and your pet can get to know me as well! I have a very flexible schedule, I do freelance illustration and other gig work so I am able to make my own schedule quite easily. I will never let a dog off their leash while going on walks, I will always make sure to feed them and provide fresh water daily. I will make sure they get plenty of play time and all the attention they deserve. I will ask questions about anything I’m unsure of. I will also never double book appointments, I only take one job at a time so I can give your pet all the attention they need.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats from puppies/kittens to seniors and feel I feel more then capable of watching and taking care of your animals I have two cat with pretty particular diets so keeping up with them has put me in a great routine which I can provide to your animals I would take care of mine how I take care of yours. What matters most is how you want your animals to be taken care of
