I appreciate Rachel understanding what the dogs needed during our time away. She took the time to meet with the dogs and us prior to walking them. It was a very positive experience for all.

About: I've been caring for a variety of pets my entire life and have a passion for helping animals of all shapes and sizes. I'm excited to provide the best care for your furry, scaly, or feathered friends while you're away. Your pets will be loved and looked after as if they were my own. I have extensive experience with dogs, cats, and even lifers I am available early mornings every day of the week . Right now I have open availability so i have free range to help out any time of the day. I can even check in on your precious cargo holidays or weekends I have a fenced in backyard for your dog to run around in. I do have cats in my home who were introduced and lived with our pooch until her passing recently. I prefer to home sit in your home due to the fact I have 5 cats and 2 dogs and it may be overwhelming

About: My parents are also animal lovers, so I have had many different dogs growing up from Great Danes to Teacup Chihuahuas! My first dog was a Golden Retriever named Roxy! She made me fall in love with animal care which is when I pursued positions working at boarding facilities, vet clinics, and animal shelters. These positions gave me plenty of experience working with many different breeds and personalities. I also learned correct ways to administer medications and deal with animals that may be in distress. I currently am in grad school and have classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays. My field season is in the spring, so I may have limited availability. I am very trustworthy. I understand that my only job is to come and offer the care and love to your pets while you are not available. Most of my time will be spent giving my full attention to your loved one’s! If your pet is not the social type or I need to be at your house for a long period of time, I have many hobbies (journaling, reading, crocheting, etc.), and I am also in school to receive my masters degree in Biology, so I have homework or materials I can bring to entertain myself if needed.

Melissa was an absolute lifesaver for us. We had an unexpected situation come up, and she stepped in on short notice to take care of Reggie, Stella, and Mayhem without hesitation. From the start, she was communicative, reliable, and incredibly accommodating. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our dogs were in such capable and caring hands during a stressful time. We could tell they were happy, comfortable, and well looked after. We’ll absolutely be booking with Melissa again and are so grateful for her help when we needed it most. Highly recommend!

About: I worked in the veterinary field for 9 years. I have extensive experience with pets who have fear aggression or need special care due to anxiety or age. I have for the past decade been routinely petsitting or dog walking for friends. I am currently working part time, and my schedule is pretty flexible, so I am open most days to take love and care for your pets!! My main goal in any dog walking or sitting gig is that the pet and the owner are 100% comfortable with me. As a pet owner myself, I know how important our babies are to us. I want there to be no concern about my services provided. I want you to feel confident that I can provide the top most care when it comes to your furry loved ones.

Matthew was willing to help me out on relatively short notice. I needed help walking my dog over the weekend because of a flared back issue. He was terrific! Friendly, enthusiastic, good walker and communicator. I appreciated his ability to be flexible, too. Shankara evidently loved the walks. I will definitely book with him in the future as needs demand it! Thanks, Matt!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid, including my black lab, Sadie. She taught me how to be thoughtful of how pets feel, and as she aged, how to clean up lots and lots of poop in the house! I believe pets deserve a happy alternative to being boarded, and I intend to give that genuine connection to any pet I encounter! I am currently on summer break from college, but I decided to stay in the area. I have a couple of part-time jobs, but they are only a few hours a day, so I can designate more time to taking care of your pets! I can be pretty flexible with hours and days, and I don't care what time of day it is to make sure your pet gets the attention they need. Pet safety is my top priority. I make sure pets are always in a secure environment—free from hazards, toxic plants, or small items they could swallow. I follow any routines or instructions you provide closely, from feeding schedules to exercise needs. As a collegiate athlete, I prioritize healthy foods and exercise, and I will make sure your pets do as well. In your home, I treat your space with respect and maintain a calm, comforting environment to reduce stress for your pet. I always supervise outdoor time and use secure leashes or fenced areas. You can count on regular updates and photos, so you feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for.

About: Hello fellow pet peeps! I’ve had pets as long as I can remember- I’ve been lucky enough to have been a pet mama to small pocket pets, cats, dogs, reptiles (snakes and lizards), fish, a chinchilla named Jerry and even a small flock of chickens! I am a teacher, so I have time this summer to help out! I would love to offer my services to all the families needing someone to look after their furry (or scaley) family members. I can offer housesitting, but I am unable to stay over night due to my own family needs at this time. I can be flexible and would love to help if I can. I have a lot of experience taking care of different types of animals, but would always follow the specific directions based on the needs of your pet. I am comfortable with all types of pet care including medication needs, crating, potty training etc…

About: Pet Taxi & Check-In and Poo Cleaning Services- STARTING July 6th- AVAILABLE DAILY!! Moving back to Ohio! https://pettaxicheck-inservice dot com This is an "at your home pet check-in service" and "transportation service" for your pet in the local area(s). I also do poop clean up in your residential yard for $40 a time- will use your trash or remove from premises for an additional fee. Do you need your pet to go to the groomer, or get a vet check up, or enjoy a walk in the park, and you cannot find the time? Or you do not drive and public transportation will not allow pets to ride? Here is your solution.... the LOCAL PET TAXI is at your service! The Pet Taxi cost is $60 round trip with a max distance of 20 miles from my residence. If over 20 miles away, then the cost is $80. $5 additional per pet, please. I am located in Lake County and look forward to checking in or transporting your beloved pet to wherever they need to go! "Check-In" [Drop-In] Visits I stop by my client's home while they're away a few times a day (Usually 3-4X is most common) for 30-45 minutes each time to feed, take out to potty, and play with their pets. The fee for check-ins run between $18-20 a visit, depending on the distance and the amount of times needed, holiday rates, number of pets, etc. Overnight sitting in your home is at a higher rate and dependent on scheduling availability. (This would not include staying at the residence all day; just over-night with your pet.) Pet sitters take care of our most treasured furry friends and help ease the stress and discomfort that comes with a disrupted schedule for your dogs. They’ll still miss you, but having someone available for belly rubs, food, and fetch can help take their minds off the misery. If you need your yard picked up after your pup’s poop- I offer that service too!! As of July 6, 2026 I am available EVERY DAY with appointment in advance. Losing my full time job so after July 5 I can pretty much schedule anytime pet check-ins, walks, sittings, yard cleanup and transportations. I check in at the pets' residence. I can take care of any kind or breed of animal. I have several years experience with different kinds of animals- including reptiles.

About: I’ve taken care of family pets my whole life, including Labrador retrievers, rescues, and Pembroke Welsh corgis. I love all dogs, playing, walking and cuddling with them! I currently work at a hospital (3 12hr shifts). On days off, I can pop in whenever, and days that I work would be early in the morning and later in the evening. I know how to properly feed dogs, safely walk them with traffic and other dogs, and play with them to ensure they are getting by exercise and socialization time.
