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.

Thank you so much for taking care of the dogs. We came home. Everything was tidy and neat. Everything had been well taken care of and we could tell that our pups were very happy and loved.

First time Rover and the universe sent us Gianna! Detailed updates and pics of the pets made us feel secure during a hectIc wknd trip. It’s obvious Gianna loves animals and is very knowledgeable and caring. It was the perfect fit for a house sitting situation.

Rebecca was awesome and a huge help!! We have a 10 month old bernedoodle that has been recovering from pneumonia so we weren’t able to board her anywhere or have her around other dogs so she could relax. Rebecca came over and hung out with her for about 7 hours for us since my boyfriend and I were apart of a wedding. She sent us updates the whole time and our pup Remi loves her!!! We will definitely be giving her a call again in the future.

Lauren was a sweetheart with our senior dog Baltazar. She stay with him while my husband and I went to a concert. We can't leave him alone for long periods of time and knowing that he was being watched, was a tremendous relief for us. We're thankful to her and we'll look for Lauren on our next visit to Cleveland, Ohio. I encourage you to do the same, she's an excellent dog sitter and your fur four legged baby will be in great care. Thank you Lauren!!!

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 !

If you're like us, we look for care providers with multiple reviews so we have a better idea of who we're hiring. But everyone needs to start somewhere, and this time we decided to give someone a chance who hadn't received reviews yet; boy did we luck out. Jaina did a fantastic job looking after our 80 pound loverboy, Luca. She stayed in our home while we were away five days, and both he--and our home--were well taken care of. He even got a daily walk (in winter, no less!). Jaina is who you want in a sitter: responsive, reliable and kind. She provided daily updates and photos of our dog, too. We would hire her again, and suggest you do too before people catch on and her rates go up.

Matt is very good at communicating. He was good at following the instructions I left and flexible when my flight was delayed. He took Lacey for walks an made sure she went out for business before he left the house for work. When he did meet and greet a couple weeks prior, Lacey was on antibiotics (pills) and I expected her to be done by the time of my trip. She had to stay on them longer, and Matt made sure she got her pills.

About: I have cared for dogs since I was 8, and I have owned a dog since I was 5. I have successfully potty-trained a puppy. I enjoy being outside and walking, so I'd love to help out in any way, whether by helping them get their energy out or by hanging out with them. I work part-time and have free time between 10 am and 2 pm to take care of your fur babies. I usually use that time to hit the gym or study in the library, but I'm flexible. I can come to your fur baby and transport them to the park or wherever is needed. I can dog-sit for a few hours or a weekend and take them for walks.

Lindsey was awesome! She watched our 2 dogs and cat during the day and overnight. She was very attentive to our “girls” needs and contacted us when she had a question. Lindsey sent pictures and the girls were very happy when we got home. The house was immaculate. We look forward to having Lindsey house sit our girls again in the future!

Octavia was the perfect dog sitter for my mini poodle. I was nervous to leave him for the long weekend, and she provided reassuring updates and photos to let me know my little dude was doing great and having the best time with her. I would highly recommend her to anyone!

About: I"ve had pets all my life! Mostly dogs & cats but I've also had small pocket pets, birds, snakes and skunks. I just love animals of any kind! I'm a very active senior who still works so I'd like to be able to leave during the day M-F but I'm self employed so I can easily adjust my schedule to meet your furbabys needs. I have also watered the plants & flowers for my clients and fill the bird feeders! I am reliable and can give you many refrences I currently work but I'm self employed so I can make my own hours if needed to care for a furbaby. On the weekends I'm around most daysI I ask that you leave written directions on your pets daily routine so I can keep them on their schedule as much as possible. It's less stressful for them. Feeding directions along with any meds they need. Also your vets number if needed. I'll spend time with them and can send you daily pictures if you'd like!

Makenna is excellent! Great communication and updates. She left our house spic and span. We have a very nervous dog, and she did an excellent job of bonding with him and putting him at ease in our absence. We would love to have Makenna petsit again!
