“This is the second time we've booked with Makenna, and I'm yet again a happy customer! She's done a house sitting and drop in visit with fantastic through updates. I feel relieved she's taking such great care of my dog and cat.”


“Matthew did a great job with his drop in visits with Archie while I was working and my husband was away. Matthew was very timely and great at communicating. Archie enjoyed his time with Matthew and I look forward to booking him again!”

About: I have been a nurse for 30 years but worked for veterinarians and in a shelter setting prior to that. I have had pets all my life and have experience fostering dogs. I currently have dogs, cats, rabbits, horses, goats, and a pig. I have a lot of flexibility and can make most situations fit my schedule. I have my own vehicle and look forward to making your pet feel as comfortable as possible. I am happy to play with your dog or cat, provide exercise, food, and medication if needed. I can do multiple drop ins a day. I truly love animals and will try to connect with your pets so they feel safe with me.
About: I have extensive experience with a wide variety of animals. Besides the aforementioned, I've also cared for dogs, small/caged mammals (gerbils & mice), rabbits, fish, and a lizard (leopard gecko)! These pets come with a wide variety of responsibities, needs, & comforts, and I'll do all I can to help your pet have a healthy & positive experience while you're away! :) I'm currently attending school fully online, which means I can study from pretty much anywhere! This also means that I spend many hours of my day at home because I'm not commuting to a school or work site. I've found this works out especially well for pets who need frequent monitoring through the day; such as kittens/puppies or animals with special needs. I will certainly do everything in my care to take good care of your pets!! :) I have experience with both house-sitting and visiting pets, whether the latter be daily or a few times a week/month. I'm happy to accommodate any needs your pet may have!
“Brittany took great care of our kitties. She's reliable and communicative and I love the pictures she posts so that I can see my boys are doing well :) Brittany also puts in extra effort to get down our street, which is under major construction, so we appreciate that.”

“Melanie was very responsive, kind and professional! She took great care of your two pups while we were out of town. Easy to coordinate with and look forward to working with her in the future!”

About: Hi!!! I love dogs and love watching them! Love their personalities and am good with showing them love ! I can’t wait to meet your baby/babies! I have a pretty open schedule! During the day I am always home. Some nights I work but when at work my man is home. I have a mini dachshund whose name is Oreo 😊who is super friendly and playful! I live in an apartment and put my window I have a little area where the dogs can run free that is fenced in! I can also take the dogs on walks or just let them play inside whatever you’re comfortable with! However they live with you they will live with me 🥰
“Anthony is fantastic, brings treats, toys and a ton of love for your animals. He even made smalll adjustments, of course letting us know first, to ensure if there was poor weather that day he timed it within a window so he could let our pups out without it pouring rain. Absolutely will use him in the future and I am certain our dogs loved their time with him.”
“Respectful and Professional, got along great with my precious creature. Followed instructions perfectly, and reached out when needed. Could stand to be more assertive w/ dogs sometimes, but still a great sitter. 10/10 would book again :)”

About: I have been a pet owner and a pet sitter for over a decade. I grew up with pugs and now have a very happy, sweet, old boxer/pittie mix named Lou. From 2016-2017, I worked at a dog daycare in New York City, walking pets to and from home and daycare, and managing rooms of dogs of all sizes while they played, ate meals, and were boarded. I am comfortable walking and caring for dogs of all sizes. I love going on long walks as well. I have reliable transportation and am lucky to have a very flexible schedule. I am currently between full-time work as I recently moved back to Cleveland after 7 years in Miami, Florida, so I am very available for your pet care and pet walking needs. I am very comfortable with dogs of all sizes and other pets including hamsters, cats, and birds. I am also comfortable administering medicine as needed, am comfortable crating dogs, and can works with whatever needs your pet may have.
“Terry is a caring and attentive cat-sitter that we were delighted to have watching over our 5 cats. It’s not easy to handle the various food patterns and routine that each of our babies prefer, but she handled it with ease and kindness. We cannot say how much we appreciated her - she gave us detailed updates and made sure everyone was comfortable and happy while we were out for a week. Thank you!!”

“Octavia took great care of our pups! Our one dog, Frankie, is very reactive to strangers and a hard sell and she warmed up to her so well! She took the time to make sure Frankie felt safe and comfortable! Both dogs were very happy to have her there! We can’t wait to hire her again!”

“Adara was absolutely wonderful with Javi and Tamale! From the start, it was clear she genuinely cares about the dogs in her care — she was attentive, gentle, and really listened to everything I shared about their needs and routines. The regular updates she sent gave me total peace of mind while I was away. I came home to two happy, relaxed pups, which says everything. We will 100% be booking with Adara again — highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who treats your pets like her own!”

“Omega has been terrific, giving 5 meds per day to my old kitty. She checked in via the app each of the three times a day thst she visited, & I appreciated the photos, taken in various locations. My stand-offish kitty even rubbed up against her after a couple of days! Thanks so much, Omega, I will def request you again!”
About: I have watched my friends animals for years. I own 2 cats, both rescues. I love all animals and will give you pet the best care possible! My work hours are 6-2:30 Monday-Friday.

I cannot say enough great things about Lauren. She is very flexible and someone you can trust. She has been visiting my puppy while I work long shifts. She always says hi to my cats when she comes to visit my puppy and sends me pictures of them as well- which is so sweet! She doesn’t even have to do that part but she has a huge heart for animals and she’s just a good human- which is very important when you are trusting someone in your home with your pet children. I am so very happy that I found Lauren (and my puppy Truffles is too)!!!
