About: I've been a pet lover my whole life! I've lived with cats, dogs, reptiles, fish, and birds. As a pet parent, I know how stressful it can be to find a good pet sitter or walker. Let me meet with your furry or scaley babies and see that I'm a great match! Currently, I have two large dogs, three fish tanks, and an ever-growing indoor plant collection. I work part-time, so I have plenty of time to care for your pets. I am very flexible and will work with you to meet all your pet needs! I consider watching someone else's pet to be a major responsibility to be taken seriously. My pets' needs come first, always. Pets often need or expect routine and consistency. I'm more than happy to provide your pets and you with reassurance their needs will be met.
About: Pet Taxi & Check-In and Poo Cleaning Services- STARTING July 9th- AVAILABLE DAILY!! I am back in 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 $70 round trip with a max distance of 20 miles from my residence. If over 20 miles away, then the cost starts at $80 & up! $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 minutes each time to feed, take out to potty, and play with their pets. The fee for check-ins run between $20-25 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 priced above. I am available EVERY DAY with appointment in advance. I can pretty much schedule anytime pet check-ins, walks, sittings, yard cleanup and transportations. Hope to hear from you soon! 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.
“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 have provided care for many kinds of animals since I was a kid! I grew up caring for dogs, horses, cats, and reptiles, with training experience as well. Friends and family know I love each animal I take care of as my own, and have relied on me for care of any pet! I’ve had dogs as small as a mini dachshund to an english mastiff from ages 6 months until seniority. I am currently taking a rest from the typical 9-5 life. What that means for pet owners, is that their pet’s care is my number one priority throughout the day. I try to stick to a routine they are used to for comfort. I have had pets needing many different types of environments. I can do early morning meds/meals, walks and other enrichment activity’s, and any evening needs! Every animal is special and requires their own care, and I am here to do everything they need for their mental and physical health.
About: I have taken care of a dog for 12 years and have experience dog sitting all kinds of breeds. Neighbors, family members, and friends have all asked me to dog sit for them. I am devoted to providing loving and undivided care for your dog whether it’s walking, playing, or lots of petting. I am a student right now but I have plenty of free time to stop by and spend time with your dog. My schedule is flexible and allows me to check in with your dog throughout the day. In my home or yours my goal is providing a safe and comfortable environment for your dog. I make sure that there is plenty of space to relax and play. I stick to their routines when it comes to feeding, walking, playing, etc to keep them comfortable and consistent.
About: Hi, I’m Lora! I have experience with a wide range of dogs of different sizes, breeds, and temperaments—from larger breeds like labs and huskies to smaller, high-energy or more timid dogs who may need a little extra patience. I live an active lifestyle, so your dog will get plenty of walks, playtime, and attention based on their needs. I will work with you to create a plan that allows your dog(s) to feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. My current routine is mainly focused on keeping up with grad school. I am enrolled full time in the Clinical Mental Health Counseling program at John Carroll University. I have classes 3x a week for 2.5-3 hours. This would be the only time I would need to leave your pet(s) alone. I live in a 2 story home within walking distance of a park suitable for dogs. I do not have any personal pets in my home. If you are looking for me to host, I live alone so it would just be your pet(s) and me. I will be respectful of not having guests over when I am caring for your pet(s) to ensure they’re given proper attention and feel comfortable in their environment. I have a partially fenced back yard and my front yard is not fenced.

About: I just moved back to Ohio and I have had pets my whole life and lost my baby a bit ago. I know how they are family and deserve all the love. My dog was older and had a lot of health issues so I am familiar with different medication that may be needed. I’m currently in grad school for nurse anesthesia and study most days from home. I have a pretty open schedule except Thursday and Friday morning-afternoon but can be available early in the am or that evening. Happy to answer any questions. Anytime except Thursday and Friday 6am-4pm (I have clinical at the VA for grad school) I have online lectures so I can have open availability during the rest of the week and weekends. I can discuss as well. I would prefer to watch your loved one at your home or do day sitting/walks. My current family dog is very timid and a rescue and is scared of literally everything so I don’t want to stress him out
About: I've been around animals since I was very young and love all of them. They are part of my family and will be treated as such while they're with me. I enjoy going on walks and keeping pets happy and entertained. I believe it's very important to know your fur babies will be in great hands when boarding with me. My beloved dog Mario is no longer with me; he lived for 13 wonderful years and was the best dog anyone could ask for. I haven't been able to get another one since then. Watching and caring for other pets makes me happy and brings me joy. I currently work from home so my schedule is very flexible throughout the week. Working from Home is a blessing and has given me the flexibility to care for others pets. I do not have a fenced yard, but I live in a development that gives me plenty of opportunities to go for walks. As long as they come with a leash we will be walking.

Walking dogs and taking care of them is something that I have a lot of experience in. I have a very flexible schedule as an independent contractor so i can be available at any time. Whenever I watch my cousin's dog, it becomes a full time endeavor. I take pride in taking care of the things in my environment whether it is lawn care, businesses, car, or my hobbies. I walk them regularly. I make sure the pets are fed on schedule. I pay attention to the pet's communication signals, and I am a caring person towards them.
“Chloe was amazing! She was great with Ziva and sent me photos of their walk. She's reliable, responsible, and definitely loves dogs. Ziva was tired and happy when I came home. I would definitely contact Chloe again!”
About: I’ve had pets my entire life and taken care of them by myself as well as helping friends and family care for theirs when they were away. My schedule is pretty open but changes day to day. I’m happy to try to work around your schedule! If I happen to be booked, I hope you keep me in mind next time!

About: I’ve cared for animals of all kinds since I was 10 years old. Friends, neighbors, and family have always trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pets as if they were my own. I also have hands-on experience giving medications and vaccinations from my time working as a veterinary assistant. Over the years, I’ve cared for pets both inside and outside the home and have experience with boarding, dog walking, medication administration, and in-home visits for feeding and watering. Every animal I care for quickly becomes part of my extended family, and I truly enjoy every moment spent making them feel safe, loved, and spoiled. I currently work from home, giving me plenty of time to provide attention and companionship throughout the day. My schedule is flexible and is very convenient for those who may need a little extra attention. My fenced yard offers space to play, and my two friendly dogs are always ready to welcome a new friend. If needed, I can also easily crate your dog for comfort or routine.
About: When it’s time to go outside it’s time. Clean up areas where the pet(s) have pooped @. Please make sure they are trained with handling strangers. Thank you ! Currently, I am currently working part-time after almost a 9 months of unemployment. I have time for pet care services. Just a American putting effort in the American Dream for myself. Since I will take them out to poop, pee & food I’m going to be diligent on that note ! Close & lock doors is a must !

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Grand River. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
