About: Hi, My most recent experience has been long term care for friends and families dogs. I offer to walk dogs multiple times a day, as well as check in multiple times a day. I also offer personalized behavioral training a recommendations. I have particular experience with behavioral issues like separation anxiety and difficulties walking on a leash and getting overwhelmed with various stimuli. Previously, I fostered large dogs with behavioral issues for the SPCA for 5 years. I have experience with dogs that are reactive, anxiety ridden and once with medical issues. I fostered the dogs until the issues are either managed or resolved and they are ready for adoption. I have experience primarily with large dogs. I am used to long walks and hikes with dogs. I primarily keeps dogs on leash but in the right circumstances I will let them off leash. However, I am very picky. I am open to walking l, check-ins and boarding. I’m in class a few times a month and working 1-2 days a week so I have times of availability to care for your pup. Thank you for considering me, Celine I’m a graduate student with minimal in class time so I have plenty of time to play and cuddle your pup. I love long walks and play time. I enjoy finding engaging activities that keep them mentally stimulated. I would like to get a sense of your pup and aspects of their care that are most important to you. This could be frequency of walking, caring for behavioral issues or simply giving them lots of cuddles. I can be in your hole where your pup is most comfortable or bring them to mine.

About: Labs have been in my life since I was born, but I got my kitten at age 6, so I'll say that's when my real pet care experience began! Animals are such a significant part of my life that I got my bachelor's degree in zoology. I've practiced dairy goat husbandry, studied monkeys in the Surinamese rainforest, and worked as an animal keeper at the Cleveland Metroparks Zoo. Not only do I understand how to care for animals, but I'm a truly playful and active person. There's nothing better than romping around outside with a pup and wearing one another out! That being said, I helped care for my family dog Farrah in her senior years and during that time we shared some of the most tender and mellow moments. If my admiration of pets isn't yet clear, I also paint pet portraits and you can see some in my profile photos. I’m a morning person, up with the sun, so early walks and check-ins are no problem! I also have a hybrid work schedule, which supports my flexibility around pet care. Pets are family members and the magnitude of trust put towards a petsitter is not something I take for granted. I care deeply about helping my clients feel at ease when I'm caring for their beloved pets. I'm meticulous and detail-oriented in everything I do, and that translates to following pet care directions and routines to a T. I'm open to talking through all of your needs and concerns to help make the experience excellent for all involved.

“Angela did a wonderful job house sitting and taking care of Forest. She kept Forest on his routine with walks and she provided plenty of updates. Forest really bonded with her! I will definitely be rebooking Angela in the future!”

“Christina was absolutely wonderful! She went above and beyond. She house sat for us and took care of our 2 dogs and 2 cats. Unfortunately, one of our dogs needed emergency care while we were away. We are so grateful for her for taking our pup to the emergency vet and staying with her until 4:00am! She administered meds and was able to care for her until we came home. Even with all of that excitement, all of our animals were content when we got home!”

About: I grew up between the city and farm country of Colombia where i developed my love of animals. I’ve been a caretaker of both pets and farm animals since I was a child. I have the most experience with medium and large dogs, but love dogs of all sizes. I grew up with Labradors and Border Collies. I’ve cared for many breeds including labs, border collies, schnauzers, frenchies, great pyraneans, and many others. I feel a deep connection to pets and am most relaxed when spending time with them. It would be my pleasure to help you care for your pets. I currently work full time 5 days a week, but with enough notice I have some flexibility. I am very active and enjoy running and walking before and after work and love bringing dogs with to join the fun. I live close to a dog park downtown where I enjoy bringing dogs for socializing and exercise. If you prefer to have me at your home, I’m more than happy to accommodate any routine or habits your dog and family prefer

“Alejandra was an excellent steward of our senior pup. She was very open and communicative and gave lots of snuggles and walkies. We would love to book her again!”

“Joe was so great. The dogs loved him. He was punctual, friendly and kept me updated. I was really able to enjoy my vacation knowing the dogs were in good hands. When I came home my house was tidy and he was very considerate during his stay here. I could tell the dogs were in good spirits. Joe spent a lot of time with them. Super grateful. Thank you Joe. I would highly recommend him to watch your fur babies”

“Emily was great! She sent lots of pictures and made sure my dogs were taken care of while I was out of town, especially when one wasn’t feeling well. I would definitely have her pet sit again!”

About: I am a huge animal lover; I’ve had pets my whole life and know how much a routine matters to them, especially during a stressful time apart from their family. I’ve cared for a diabetic dog, giving insulin shots three times a day for years, and also babysat a diabetic cat — so I’m comfortable with medication schedules and special-needs care. I’m an active person who treats every fur baby like they are my best friend because that’s what they deserve! I have a flexible schedule and work from home Mondays and Fridays, so those days are perfect for midday walks or potty breaks — I can easily fit your pup into my schedule without rushing. On weekends, I’m open to house sitting or home visits, giving your pet consistent, attentive care while you’re away. I don’t board pets at my own home, so all care happens at your house, keeping your pet in their familiar, comfortable environment. During home visits or house sits, I follow your routines closely for feeding, walks, and medication, and I’m experienced with special and elder pet needs. I treat your home and pet with the same care and respect I’d want for my own.

“SHE IS AMAZING. Seriously the best. She communicates well, sends pictures and videos every day, and obviously loves animals. My dogs loved her and they are normally very shy and picky with people they don’t know. I will definitely be booking again.”

Makayla H.

“Emily is a fantastic dog sitter! We felt so comfortable having her house sit our two dogs, with one still being house trained, and we could actually relax on our vacation knowing that our dogs were in good care. She was flexible enough to do a meet and greet before we left for vacation and she constantly kept us updated with pictures of our dogs. She is so loving and caring and we could tell that she loves all dogs. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter, you will not be disappointed!”

“Ishmell is the bomb - took great care of my big troublemaker and gave her a nice little vacation of her own. Absolutely trustworthy and accommodating!”

“Joseph did a great job with taking care of Bosco and the house. He was very responsive when I reached out to see how things were going; and he notified me when he thought I might have a concern about Bosco. He took great care of the condo and left it very neat. Great job!”
