“Such a great experience for me and my animals. I was able to go out of town and not worry at all. Monica paid close attention to the cats and made sure they were happy. Much appreciated!!”
“Laura was great with our cat, Teddy. We received happy pictures each day, a thorough description of how much Teddy ate and how they played, and good communication. It was wonderful having Laura look after Teddy on his 'staycation'!”
“Keerie took great care of my three kitties! She communicated before and during/after the visit and sent photographs to help put me at ease! I would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter”
“My dogs took to William/were extremely at ease with him immediately - he has calming mojo 😉 He is very responsive, very punctual with his visits, and thorough with his visit reports .... and also is very conscientious and goes above and beyond - bringing in the mail and tidying up around the house if he sees something that needs attention! I would certainly recommend William to anyone needing someone to care for their furbabies!”
“Marie is our go to sitter for Hades. She is attentive and kind and sends the best pictures. She even brought him a little toy! We feel so comfortable knowing that she is watching our little lad while we are on our various trips. She is ✨literally✨ The best”
About: I have had dogs since I was little and love playing with them and taking care of them. I’m an athletic person so if the dog is in the mood to play, I can certainly be a great playmate! I work part-time at a nursing home but other than that I am totally free this summer before I head off for college!! I am looking for more pups to help take care of!! We have 2 dogs to keep your pup company. We usually just let the dogs out ourselves since we do not have a fence. We do have a crate if that’s needed!

About: My senior dog passed away recently and I’m looking for pups to care for until I decide on my next fur baby. I am a hiker and constantly in the woods so if your dog likes walks, I’m your gal! I’m skilled in emergency care and can administer medications. I am a medical professional and my schedule is flexible. I’m willing and able to spend the extra time and love your doggos (but I’m not prejudiced to just dog love!) because all creatures deserve kindness and respect. I have experience dispensing medications and caring for animals with anxiety. Please consider asking me to care for your dog/cat, I will treat them as if they were my own. -Sam I am a remote worker and am able to spend ample time with your animal! Walks are typically 30 minutes minimum, unless otherwise requested. I hike daily and I’m always looking for a hiking companion. Your dog will be able to roam freely in my home (unless otherwise requested). If I’m away, I will likely crate your dog unless they are potty trained and have house manners.
“Megan is a reliable, all-animal-loving dog sitter and a lovely person. Having her take my boy for walks while I worked long shifts put me at such ease. We are from out of town and here for the month for work- she told me about the area and gave me tips. She gave thorough updates, lots of pics of my boy, and answered any questions I had about his day. If I were staying in the area, I’d continue to book her every day!”

Weekdays after 6:30 and weekends work the best but I am flexible!

About: I have experience caring for dogs, cats, hamsters, and fish, and I treat every pet like part of the family. I'm attentive to each animal’s unique needs and have a calm, gentle approach—whether it’s playing with an energetic pup or giving extra care to a senior pet. I’m also reliable, patient, and happy to follow any special routines or instructions to help your pet feel safe and loved. I teach ESL online, which gives me a flexible schedule and the ability to work from anywhere. That means I can stay at your home and be present throughout the day to care for your pet—whether it’s feeding, playtime, or just keeping them company.

I make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved in their own familiar environment.
About: I am very experienced and knowledgeable when it comes to caring for dogs. My mom was a dog groomer for 25 years and instilled a love for dogs in me at a young age. I'll take care of your dog like it's my own! I love being active and being outside, so I'll provide your dog with as much exercise as they need. I provide lots of love and truly believe a dog is a man's best friend! I can follow specific instructions for dogs of any age. I also have a dog of my own that I treat like my only child, since I do not have kids. My dog is extremely friendly and safe with other dogs. I go above and beyond to take care of dogs!
About: I’ve been a dog owner since birth and love dogs of all sizes and varieties. I’m quite active, so I will do just about anything on visits whether that’s running, playing, or a casual stroll. I’ll go above and beyond to make sure your pup has a great time and is safe while in my care. I am the proud owner of two pups - an 8 year old Shepherd Husky mix (Zoe) and a 11 year old Corgi (Hercules). I work in healthcare, but have some flexibility in my schedule. I currently work in downtown Cleveland, so my hours may be limited during weekdays and some weekends. I work my hardest to ensure all pets are comfortable in my care - whether that’s plenty of one on one attention or independent play time. Your pet’s safety is my top priority and I will ensure I do everything I can to keep them safe in my care.
