“It was a pleasure to have Christine look after my cats over the weekend. My two cats are normally shy, but they warmed right up to Christine - so much so that she was able to pill my boy cat, who needs medications four times a day for a medical condition. She even took out my trash and straightened up my living room and kitchen just to make my life easier, without me even asking her to do so. What a gem! I would highly recommend Christine to anyone who has a gift with animals and with people.”


“Basil was great! She is very accommodating and took great care of our two 15 year old Havanese. This included cleaning up after them and she did this willingly. I would highly recommend her,”


“Ari was great! She kept us updated with messages and pictures and followed all of our instructions! She was absolutely essential to us enjoying a few days away without worrying about our pups. We have a very large dog ( 100lbs) and she handled him no problem.”


“Mont’e was absolutely amazing! He provided excellent care for my cat and dog while house sitting. I was pretty nervous to leave town and Mont’e was super kind and professional. He updated me regularly, took my dog on walks, and even took her to his family’s Christmas Eve celebration (after asking of course) because I was worried about her having separation anxiety! Mont’e treated my pets as if they were his own and when I came back they were both super calm and relaxed because of the great care provided. Mont’e was also super respectful of my home and left it very neat and tidy! Highly recommend Mont’e for all pet sitting needs, I’ll definitely be asking him to come back!”


“Dana is an amazing pet sitter! Awesome communication and cute photos of my dog🫶 they handled my garden, house plants, and chickens too! Everything was amazing. I couldn't recommend them to pet sit more!”


“Riley took care of our three dogs and our cat for four nights. He did a great job! One of our dogs is quite Senior and takes some extra patience and support, and we're so grateful Riley was here for him. It's hard to leave them, but we felt very confident with Riley, and he gave us great peace of mind. He sent pictures and didn't hesitate to text me a question when he wasn't sure if something our old man was doing was normal for him. It was! But, I'm so glad he asked. Riley kept our home just as we left it, and we are especially glad to have found someone that was able to stay at our home while we were gone so our pets could have as much normalcy as possible. We highly recommend Riley if you are looking for excellent care for you pets!”


“I am so happy to have found Devaney! She took amazing care of my girls and was very flexible with their quirks. She sends lots of updates and photos. I look forward to knowing I have someone I can trust the girls with in the future if ever needed.”


“Rafi loved Alle, and for good reason! He was spoiled rotten with love, daily hikes, playdates and an endless amount of love! Alle stayed in our house and was communicative, responsible, and even left both Rafi and us beautiful gifts (hint, she is an artists in her spare time!). We cannot recommend Alle highly enough.”


“We booked with Octavia again and she was so helpful with caring for our 2 dogs. She also made sure that one of dogs got a medication that he had just started. Octavia is very reliable and a great communicator!”


“We would absolutely recommend having Shari care for any of your pets while you are away. We went overseas for 15 days and hired Shari to stay at our house to care for our 4 cats and 2 huskies. She was amazing. The dogs had a ton of walks, all animals were well taken care of. Shari was also an excellent house sitter. I will absolutely be reaching out to Shari again for our future pet sitting needs. Thank you so much Shari!!”


“Palace was amazing! Took very good care of the dogs, kept in touch with messages and photos while I was away, and I came back to happy dogs and a clean home. Would absolutely book with her again in the future!”


About: I have had dogs in my family since I was little and adopted a little tuxedo cat two years ago. I have worked for various humane societies and watched family and friends pets for the past 8 years. Happy to watch dogs or cats! I will be available full-time from June through early August, so pet care will be a central part of my daily routine. With a very flexible schedule, I’m able to prioritize each pet’s unique needs, whether that means regular walks, playtime, feeding, or just providing companionship. I'm committed to giving pets consistent attention and care throughout the day and adapting to any specific routines they may already have. Since I’m not able to have pets in my apartment, I provide care in my clients' homes. I focus on maintaining the pet’s regular routine in a familiar environment, which helps reduce stress and keep them comfortable. I’m attentive to each pet’s needs, whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, administering medication, or just spending quality time together. I also make sure to keep the home tidy and follow any specific instructions the owner provides.

About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was about 6. I’ve grown up with both small and large dogs, specifically Golden Retrievers, Labs, and Boston Terriers. I have cared for my dogs as well as other other people’s. Hi! I’m Sydney! I am a law student at Case Western and am living in Little Italy. I love going on walks and would love to walk dogs as part of my daily routine. My weekends are relatively quiet, making me a good fit for in home dog care! I will care for pets according to instructions, including frequent potty breaks, walks, and play time as needed. I am able to provide medicine as well as specific food requests if necessary.

“Angela was great! She was very patient & gentle with my anxious dog during the meet & greet, so I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with her! They seemed to get along great during the stay. Angela was good about sending pics & communicating. Would hire again!!”


About: I’ve spent years with mine and others dogs of all sizes with anxiety, special healthcare needs, senior living, multiple pets, reactionary, puppies, etc. I try to make pets feel loves. Would be based around my undergraduate schedule. The only thing I have is classes which are very spread out and I have a car so make it work. I try to make pets feel like things are as normal as possible. Plenty have separation anxiety and I try to help them feel loved and happy.

About: I have been caring for dogs since i was 11 when my family and I first got a dog. my mom made it clear that i would be the primary caretaker and i made sure i was well equipt with the proper knowledge. i have experience (and success) with clicker training, walking, feeding, as well as caring for dogs with complicated feeding and medication requirements. I am training to be a social worker and my empathy and compassion goes beyond my love of humans; i will treat your dog with the utmost respect and care! I am a grad student but I am on summer break, so other than a few theatre commitments, I have very open availability! I have a dog at home but split the care with my partner. Because of my social work studies, I have an increased capacity of understanding and am also very aware of my surroundings. You can trust your pet will be safe on whether on walks with me or in your home.
