“Very helpful and accommodated last minute booking. Went the extra step even when I gave the wrong address”

About: Starting in July, I am available all day! I've always grown up with animals. I was born into a family with two older dogs, and grew up with 2 family dogs, Maggie & Henry, whom I loved and adored as family. When I moved to graduate school, I adopted two cats, Plum & May. I didn't grow up with cats, but during college up to now I spend time at local animal shelters volunteering and helping to socialize cats where I have time. Currently, I spend my free time trapping, spaying/neutering, and releasing feral cats in my neighborhood to give them better, safer lives. I work an 8-5pm job M-F currently in Cleveland. I am a graduate student, which does mean I am relatively busy, However, I am more than willing to try to fit pet-sitting/walking into my schedule. We can talk more about this if you want to book with me! I always like to get a detailed account of the owner's daily routine with the pet, as well as any medical or physical concerns I should be looking out for. If the client approves, I like to err on the side of reaching out if I have questions or concerns, rather than waiting until they get back. Additionally, having emergency veterinary information is a must, as I am willing to do what is necessary to keep your pet safe.

“Very experienced and reliable!! Was available for me last minute and has been doing a great job with my dog! Will continue to use her services!”

“Sydney and James were great! We did a meet and greet, and they took such great care of my pup while walking him. It’s nice to have some extra hands during long work days! Thanks guys!”

Lexi D.

“James was very easy going and patient with my puppy Moka. He took her for a nice extended walk, fed her and most of all, allowed her to warm up to him before he took her out.”

“Emily is friendly, kind and attentive, and I trust her to take great care of my Artie. She was even kind enough to bring my packages inside when she came over to walk him. I highly recommend booking with Emily.”

About: I have my own dog and two cats, I can pick up after and play with your pets. I am easily adaptable, so if your pet requires things like medications I am willing to help. I currently have a part-time job, so I will only be available during weekdays. I am mostly available around midday hours, but can be flexible if I can work it in my schedule. I can take your pet on a walk or simpley watch over your pet for a bit. I myself have a dog and two cats, so I am familiar with feeding and picking up after animals.

About: Ever since I was in middle school, I have volunteered at the food bank, senior homes, elementary schools, preschools, and taking care of pets. I am well-versed in handling numerous conflicts. I am currently a new grad, whose job is summer based and am looking to be busy during the winter and spring months. I will be picking up subbing soon, but that is earlier in the day. I am comfortable with caring for pets however their family see fit. It is always important to keep pets in a routine and to follow instructions. I have no issues with implementing them.

“James is awesome! He was so great with my doggo & even helped with a knocked over vase. He left a great report & I so appreciate him walking in the heat!”

About: I have been pet sitting and dog walking since before I can remember. My family members were all allergic to animals so I was never able to have my own to love and care for. Pet sitting and dog walking was a way to get my animal “fix” without causing any allergic reactions in our household! I also ride horses and have owned and cared for many horses over the past ten years. Currently, I am taking a break from owning a horse but still get to ride occasionally! I do have references available if need be and would be happy to share to whomever is interested. I now have my own dog, Zuri, I rescued her in October 2020! She is the best girl ever and loves her life! I also have fostered for a few different organizations so am well versed in how each dog is different. I love all animals and would love any opportunity to give yours love when you aren’t available to do so! I work from home 4 days a week! So I am able to snuggle and play with the dogs all day! We do several walks a day & utilize enrichment toys. I live in an apartment, it’s big enough to host Zuri and one other dog comfortably. There are a few flights of stairs so would want to make sure your dog is comfortable with that.

“Charlotte came to walk my dog three times when my partner was a patient at Cleveland Clinic and I was staying at a hotel nearby. She dealt with some logistical difficulties with the hotel and took care of Ahsoka. She got Ahsoka some exercise and dealt with her reactivity. Her communication was excellent and I could tell Ahsoka had been well-cared for.”

“Just had our first walk and she was as very patient with my two dogs that were a bit confused by walking with someone else for the first time.”

Cassie C.

“Again, Jaina was prompt and friendly. Glad we found her!”

Kristina S.

“Otter LOVES his walks with Olesja and her husband Tomas. Now that the weather is getting nicer they are doing some jogging too. He and we are very lucky to have the best dog sitters ever!”

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life, and I have an 18 year old pup at home! I’m very passionate about the quality of life for our furry friends, and can’t wait to meet yours! Safety and fun are my main priority. I’m working part time, so I’m looking to fill the gaps in my week with pet care! I can be flexible with scheduling given enough notice. I have an 18 year old dog at home, as well as a 3 year old cat. My animals are spoiled beyond belief, and taken care of diligently.

“I booked Octavia for a last minute walk with my pup and everything was fantastic! We had good communication, she was on time, and she gave a great summary at the end of the walk. I’m adding her to my roster of walkers ASAP.”
