Pet Sitting in Garfield Heights

About: Hi! My name is Ebony, and I’m a college student pursuing a degree in Veterinary Technology. I’ve had cats and dogs my entire life and currently have a dog of my own, so caring for animals isn’t just a job — it’s my passion. With my background, I’m comfortable administering oral medications, recognizing changes in behavior, and responding appropriately in emergency situations. Cleanliness and organization are very important to me, and I always make sure your home and your pet’s space are left tidy. I am more than happy to provide regular updates and photos, so you always know how your fur baby is doing while you’re away. ❤️ While I attend school full-time , my availability outside of classes is fully dedicated to your pet’s care. I currently offer in-home sitting and walking services so your pet can stay in their familiar environment and maintain their daily routine. I understand how important patience, consistency, and compassion are when it comes to building trust with both pets and their owners. I strictly follow all provided feeding schedules, dietary needs, medication instructions, and routines to ensure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and stress-free in their own home. Thank you for considering me as your sitter ❣️

“Kendra was absolutely amazing! She was very flexible with her availability and even traveled through bad weather to watch my two kittens (much appreciated!). She spent some time playing with them after feedings and cleaned up any mess they would make. Her regular updates with photos were reassuring. My cats loved her and would be happy to have her back. Thank you again!!!!”

About: I have been a pet owner for about four years now and truly have a passion for taking care of dogs and giving them freedom to have fun and be themselves. I work at night time so usually when I get up in the day, I have the most energy and that’s when I’m totally available for the time and attention for the love of dogs. I have a closed in gated fence, which allows the pets to have access to roam around handedly at Will I have a true passion for taking care of dogs.

“My dog Buster is 15 years old; although very sweet, he requires special attention and patience. I believe Angelina went above & beyond to make him happy. I will definitely book again! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”

About: I’ve grown up with family dogs and have been a trusted dog sitter for close friends and family for nearly 10 years, caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I also have 5 years of hands-on experience with my own Portuguese Water Dog, who is healthy, happy, and well-trained. He’s part of our family and gets two walks a day, lots of playful activity, and special care. He truly is our little boy! I love puppy playdates and socializing dogs safely. My dog enjoys the company of other dogs, children, and adults of all ages, so I’m comfortable caring for pets in multi-dog households or busy family environments. I treat every dog like part of the family, ensuring they get exercise, attention, and love every day. Additionally, I have experience raising baby chickens and cared for my very own hens for three years! I truly love pets of all kinds and can’t wait to help take care of yours! I work part-time so I have plenty of time to play with your pups! I am available 3 days a week, Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, from 6 AM to 10PM for drop-ins and walks. I focus on providing reliable, flexible, and loving care, and I’m happy to help with feeding, potty breaks, playtime and general house sitting while I drop in. I live in Independence and am excited to help neighbors and the local community when you need an extra hand. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I provide a secure, loving environment whether we’re walking, playing, or checking in at home. I build trust with every dog, making sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and part of the family. From supervised puppy playdates and sleepovers to daily walks, I focus on exercise, mental stimulation, and affection — so your furry friend thrives while you’re away.

“My dogs absolutely love Jesseca! She is amazing!! She even brought my mail/packages in the house because she knew we were out of town. I will continue to have her take care of my babies.”

About: Hi, I'm Sheran! I've loved dogs for as long as I can remember, having had a furry companion by my side since the day I was born. From loyal German Shepherds to adorable Morkies, dogs have always been a vital part of my life. They are more than just pets; they are best friends, family members, grief counselors, and anxiety buddies. Their unconditional love truly heals the soul, and I am grateful for every moment spent with them. My Philosophy: I believe that dogs deserve the same care and attention as any human being. They communicate with us in more ways than we often realize, expressing a range of emotions and needs. Understanding your dog's unique way of communication is essential to provide the best care possible. Just like us, dogs experience anxiety and other complex emotions, and it’s important to be there for them, offering support and companionship. Why Choose Us: Flexible Availability: My remote and creatively intensive work allows me the flexibility to dedicate quality time to your dog. Whether it's a walk in the park, a play session, or simply sitting together, I love being there for dogs and ensuring they are happy and well-cared for. Personalized Care: I take the time to understand your dog’s habits, preferences, and needs. Every dog is unique, and I tailor my approach to fit their individual personality. Regular Updates: I believe in clear communication, both with the dogs and their owners. I will provide regular updates and keep a detailed log of my visits. Trust Building: The first few visits will focus on building trust through positive reinforcement, treat and retreat exercises, and lots of playtime. Homey Environment: My wife, who also loves dogs, helps provide a homey, welcoming environment for the puppies while they are away from home. She is featured in the photos on my profile, showing our family setting where your furry friend will be cared for and loved. Special Care: I am experienced in providing special care, such as administering medications and assisting dogs with mobility issues. Your dog's health and happiness are my top priorities, and I am dedicated to accommodating any specific needs they may have. Information Request: If your dog has any special needs or preferences, please let me know. Understanding their likes and dislikes, especially in relation to other people and animals, is crucial for providing the best care. Don't hesitate to share any details—I'm here to ensure your dog feels loved, safe, and happy. I look forward to meeting you and your furry buddy soon! My work is remote and is very flexible, and due to the creative nature of my field video editing I tend to work mostly at night. I have a fenced back yard and plenty of space to run and play. With your permission I can bring well mannered friends for play dates. If your dog is crate trained I’m able to set one up for him or her.

“She took a great care of my two cats when I was away for christmas and new years! Thank you so much :)”

“Madalyn did a great job with my 2 cats! She helped me when I needed someone extremely last minute, sent me numerous updates with pictures and videos, and helped me feel so at ease! I would absolutely use her again 🐾❤️”

“Dasha has been great with both of my dogs! Blue is a new puppy to us and certainly requires much more work, however Dasha was absolutely fantastic with him and he seemed very thrilled with having someone able to come and play with him while I was gone for the day!”

“Patience watched my cat while I was away for a week. She came over for a meet & greet before and asked lots of good questions and took thorough notes. She arrived on time, twice a day and did a great job! I will happily use her again in the future. Thank you!!”

“We’re so grateful for Janet! We had overlapping work travel and she was able to watch Oscar despite our wonky schedules. We are a little concerned, however, that our cat is starting to like Janet better than us because he’s clearly disappointed when we come home! 😂”

About: Hi! I’m Dan, and I’ve spent the last 10 years caring for animals of all kinds — from energetic puppies to senior cats with special needs. Whether you need a dependable dog walker, a drop-in visit while you're at work, or overnight care while you're away, I’m here to treat your pets like family. Animals have always been a big part of my life. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets — someone who is responsible, loving, and attentive. I take pride in being that person. I’m comfortable administering medication, following special routines, handling multiple pets, and sending lots of photo updates (if you want them!). Your pets’ safety and happiness are always my top priorities. I’m available for morning and evening visits every day, with midday visits frequently accommodated as well. Weekends are also open for walks, drop-ins, and extended care. I'm flexible and happy to work with your pet’s routine — just send a message to coordinate the best times! - Stick to the pet’s routine (feeding, walks, meds, bedtime). - Keep the home clean — tidy up after the pet and myself. - Send daily updates with photos and any behavior changes. - Respect the home — use only approved areas and follow instructions. - Keep the pet safe — secure doors, no off-leash unless allowed. - Know emergency contacts (vet, owner, backup). - Give love and attention — play, cuddle, or keep company as needed.

“Brittany has done visits while I was out of town as well as walks for my golden retriever. She took great care of my baby while I was away. Even cuddled with my 70+pound baby who thinks he's a lap dog! Appreciated all the pictures and knowing he was with someone who loves animals as much as me! Thank you😀”

About: I am available on weekends mostly and evening during the week on some days. Please check schedule. 🐾 My Services and Activities I offer reliable and loving pet care, specializing in dog walking and drop-in visits. My services are designed to give your dog the exercise, attention, and care they need while you're away. I currently have a yorkie poo and he’s truly part of my family. I love and care for him like he’s my child — from daily walks to belly rubs and playtime. My experience has taught me patience, responsibility, and how much joy a dog can bring to everyday life. My dog is a big part of my morning routine. We start the day with a morning walk, which helps both of us get some fresh air and exercise. I work during the day during the week. I make time for attention and cuddles when I get home. On weekends, we spend extra time together — going for longer walks, visiting parks, or just relaxing at home. Having my dog around keeps me active, balanced, and always smiling. When caring for someone’s pet in their home, I make sure to follow their regular routine so the pet feels comfortable and secure. I keep their feeding schedule consistent, make sure they have plenty of water, and give them the same love and attention they’re used to

About: I have a 10 year old Australian shepherd, lab mix and 1 cat that just had 3 kittens, 1 which already found its home. I've had dogs my entire life with , a passion towards all animals... After doing my daily walk with my dog and getting my daughter to school, I'll be ready to start my day taking care of the pets scheduled for my days .

I can do the same for your dog , or follow how ever your routine is with your pup or cat .

“There is no one I trust more with my cat’s care than Katherine. She’s the absolute best. I travel a lot for work and she has saved me more than once when plans have gone awry.”
