Dog Sitting Garfield Heights

“Ellen was wonderful!! We were so grateful to her for checking on our kittyboyes while we were away. She made it a point to check in with us and spend some good time with them, we got some good petting pics so we know they were loved on. She was there for two trips we had back to back. Thanks Ellen, you’re the best!”

About: I’ve always had a love for animals, especially dogs, having grown up with two of my own. Over the years, I’ve had plenty of hands-on experience helping my brother and sister with their dogs, and I’ve enjoyed dog-sitting for friends and family. Caring for dogs has become second nature to me, and I love making sure they’re happy, comfortable, and well cared for. As a full-time student during the week, my schedule is pretty busy, but I also work part-time at a hospital, which adds some variety to my routine. However, I’m completely free on the weekends and have some flexibility during the week as well. This allows me to adjust my time for things like dog-sitting or other commitments when needed. In my home, I create a calm and comfortable environment where pets can feel safe and at ease. I make sure they have plenty of space to relax, play, and sleep, and I stick to their usual routines for feeding, walking, and playtime to keep them feeling secure. I also provide lots of attention and affection, ensuring they get the social interaction they need. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m mindful of keeping things consistent with their daily routines. I follow specific instructions for feeding, exercise, and any special care needs, ensuring that the pet stays in their familiar surroundings while receiving the same level of care and attention they would from their owner. I take extra care to respect the home while keeping everything tidy and secure.

“The best care I’ve had for my little dude! Melissa really cares for the animals. Making sure that they don’t feel alone and they are getting everything they need. Also putting my anxiety at ease with tons of check ins and photos, I never worried once about him. She went above and beyond by cleaning the silverware she used to make my cats food which was never expected but so kind! Thanks again Melissa!”

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life, and I have an 18 year old pup at home! I’m very passionate about the quality of life for our furry friends, and can’t wait to meet yours! Safety and fun are my main priority. I’ve transitioned to pet care full time! If you’re looking for someone to spend extended periods of time with your furry companion, I’m your girl! On top of house sitting, I’m also available for walks and drop in visits. I always make sure to follow instructions left by owners as closely as possible. I want you and your pet to feel comfortable and at ease with my care! I do my best to keep dogs exercised as needed so you have a sleepy pup by the end of the day.

“Carla is awesome, coming to the rescue with a last-minute cat visit when I had to leave town suddenly and giving them and my house the best care and me, peace of mind. I genuinely appreciate her flexibility and sweetness, and we would welcome her back anytime for future travels!”

“Lisa has been fantastic with my dog. He was apprehensive and standoffish about a stranger coming into the house, but she’s been so kind and patient with him while he gets to know her. Thank you so much!!!”

About: With over two decades of hands-on animal experience, I bring a deep understanding of pet behavior, health needs, and the importance of maintaining their routine while you're away. My experience includes: Behavioral observation: Skilled at reading animal body language and recognizing signs of stress, illness, or discomfort Medication administration: Comfortable giving pills, liquid medications, and following specific health protocols Routine maintenance: Experienced in maintaining feeding schedules, exercise routines, and providing the consistency pets need Emergency awareness: Trained to recognize when situations require immediate veterinary attention Gentle handling: Patient approach with anxious, elderly, or special-needs pets What sets me apart is my genuine passion for animal welfare combined with practical experience in rehabilitation and long-term care. I understand that every pet is an individual with unique needs, and I'm committed to providing the same level of attention and care I'd want for my own pets. I work from home and welcome the chance to get out of my home office and play with your adorable floofballs. Weekdays during work hours make up the bulk of my availability, but I can be flexible with evenings and weekends. I prioritize creating a safe, low-stress environment, whether caring for pets in my home or others. In client homes: I maintain pets' established routines to minimize anxiety and provide consistency Secure all doors, windows, and gates to prevent escapes Follow all specific instructions regarding food, medications, and behavioral needs Provide regular updates with photos and messages to keep owners informed Respect the home environment and leave it exactly as I found it Safety protocols: Always have emergency veterinary contact information readily available Monitor pets closely for any changes in behavior, appetite, or health Ensure all pets are properly secured during transitions (leashes, carriers, etc.) My 23 years of experience have taught me that prevention is key. I'm constantly aware of potential risks and take proactive steps to ensure every pet feels safe and comfortable. Trust is earned through consistent, reliable care and clear communication with pet parents.

About: I’ve always been a pet person- my dad is a veterinarian and we’ve lived with many dogs, cats and other animals throughout the years. I am well versed in caring for dogs of all sizes, as well as cats, reptiles, and backyard chickens. I am a very calm and patient person, and if your pet is on the shyer side, I will take as much time as they need to adjust to me. My schedule is fairly flexible, and I can usually stay with pets for several hours during the day. If I cannot stay for long periods of time, I aim to stop by at least 2-3 times per day to check on everything/let dogs out. When letting dogs out, I closely monitor them, and if the yard allows, I will give them plenty of outside time. If there is a suitable area near your home, I don’t mind driving dogs short distances for walks. My car is fairly small, so I will probably have a limit of 2 medium sized dogs that can fit in it.

About: I have a lot of experience with many pets as the go-to gal in my neighborhood and my own pets. My experiences include chickens, pugs pugs and more pugs, big dogs, little dogs, and cats. But, I love to learn so given a chance I could take on almost anything :).

About: Hi my name is Yocheved, but a lot of people call me Yo, or Ava. I am an only parent to a wonderful, active middle schooler. We have a happy home full of love and laughter, and 2 kitties. After 14 magical years together, we lost our dog to old age, a couple years back. I miss the feel of having a dog around, but I know in my heart of hearts we are all a little older, and a little busier, and our home cannot house a new permanent four-legged resident. But I do not accept the lack of dogs in our lives! I said yes to dog sitting lately, and I have made so many new friends since. Hanging out with your dogs or cats when you're unable to be there- it's become a thing I look forward to in my home. I love walking the neighborhood or doing drop-ins to feed cats. Let me help you! I'm currently WFH part time, and tend to end my days on the early side, for parenting purposes. Because of this I'm pretty flexible and available throughout the week. I tend to all pets, like I would for my own. I cared for my dog through cancer, twice- so I'm pretty familiar with medicine, senior care, and all the extra effort needed for older or sick animlas. I love to walk, burn off energy, and snuggle. Happy to do light grooming (brushing), and send photos and videos throughout our time together!

“Aliyah is absolutely the best! She has learned my dog and gives him what he needs regardless of what I may have thought he needed. He literally SMILES when she takes pics of him and my anxiety and dog mommy guilt vanishes. I just love how they love each other!”
