“Christine is very communicative and consistently updated me on my 3 cats! She sent me pictures every time she came over to care for them. She also left my apartment clean which I'm very grateful for. It's nice to come home to a clean place after a long and grueling flight. Definitely would book her again!”


“Sprout did an amazing job taking care of Alfie! She walked him regularly, sent us pictures, and gave him a bath when he inevitably rolled in the mud. We’ll be glad to have her look after Alfie in the future!”


“Omega did a great job with our two older ladies, a cat and a dog. She was great at communication and left the house immaculate. The cute photos of our pets made us feel very comfortable that they were in good hands.”


“Riley was great! He was incredibly accommodating and respectful to us and our dogs. Both of our dogs are 65+ pounds and he handled them well! One of our dogs can be a bit of a jerk at initial meetings, but Riley handled him well and was able to get our dog to warm up to him. He sent photos of the dogs without having to ask and was responsive to all of our messages. We left during one of the coldest, windiest weeks in January, and Riley had no problem making sure the dogs were walked during that time. You can be certain that Riley will take excellent care of your dogs.”

“Shermont'e was very respectable and patient with our dogs, (our dogs can be shy meeting new people). He constantly gave us updates on how they were doing, and that our most shy dog warmed up to him by the end of his stay! 10/10 would recommend!!”


“Dana came and stayed with my two dogs for three nights and four days. She was fantastic! Very attentive and a great houseguest on top of being wonderful with the dogs! Will absolutely be using her again!”


“Devaneyis awesome! From the moment she walked in the door I was completely comfortable with her watching my dog Micki! She picked her up from my daughters and stayed later than expected when my flight was delayed. She was responsive, sent pictures and truly cared about how Micki was doing! I would highly recommend !”


“Dalvane was an incredible dog sitter. He watched our two dogs and a cat for 8 days. One of dogs can be particularly hard to deal with and by the end of the week Dalvane was his best friend. The house was left clean and everyone was happy. Dalvane was very communicative and willing to go the extra mile to make the dogs happy. I highly recommend Dalvane's services.”


“We would absolutely recommend having Shari care for any of your pets while you are away. We went overseas for 15 days and hired Shari to stay at our house to care for our 4 cats and 2 huskies. She was amazing. The dogs had a ton of walks, all animals were well taken care of. Shari was also an excellent house sitter. I will absolutely be reaching out to Shari again for our future pet sitting needs. Thank you so much Shari!!”


“We booked with Octavia again and she was so helpful with caring for our 2 dogs. She also made sure that one of dogs got a medication that he had just started. Octavia is very reliable and a great communicator!”


“Lee was a fantastic caretaker for our 2 Labradors. One of our dogs is very shy and Lee took the time to connect with her. She was very dependable and was in constant communication with us about how they were doing. She stayed in our home and when we returned, Lee had taken the time to tidy up before we returned with some light cleaning. I would highly recommend Lee.”


“Liz is the best! Second time she has watched our bulldog and two cats. She was amazing as usual - on time, very attentive to our animals and trustworthy! Plus many updates. We always feel at ease leaving when Liz is over. Thank you so much Liz!”


“Kai’Lee did a great job with my pups. They had a great time with her and she maintained order despite one escape attempt (under the fence) and a nasty stomach bug. They both love her!”


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.

About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was about 6. I’ve grown up with both small and large dogs, specifically Golden Retrievers, Labs, and Boston Terriers. I have cared for my dogs as well as other other people’s. Hi! I’m Sydney! I am a law student at Case Western and am living in Little Italy. I love going on walks and would love to walk dogs as part of my daily routine. My weekends are relatively quiet, making me a good fit for in home dog care! I will care for pets according to instructions, including frequent potty breaks, walks, and play time as needed. I am able to provide medicine as well as specific food requests if necessary.

“Angela was great! She was very patient & gentle with my anxious dog during the meet & greet, so I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with her! They seemed to get along great during the stay. Angela was good about sending pics & communicating. Would hire again!!”


About: I’ve spent years with mine and others dogs of all sizes with anxiety, special healthcare needs, senior living, multiple pets, reactionary, puppies, etc. I try to make pets feel loves. Would be based around my undergraduate schedule. The only thing I have is classes which are very spread out and I have a car so make it work. I try to make pets feel like things are as normal as possible. Plenty have separation anxiety and I try to help them feel loved and happy.
