About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life for over 20 years. I have extensive hands-on experience raising, training, and caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. I trained two German Shepherd from just 8 weeks old, later cared for a Pit Bull mix, and successfully walked all three dogs together with excellent behavior and control. Today, I share life with a 115 lb Anatolian Shepherd, so I’m very comfortable handling large, strong breeds as well as energetic dogs that need confident leadership. My approach centers on structure, obedience, consistency, and creating a calm environment where dogs feel secure and happy. I genuinely love dogs and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. Whether your dog needs walks, drop-in care, companionship, or someone dependable while you’re away, I’ll treat them like family and make sure they are safe, exercised, and cared for. If you’re looking for someone experienced, reliable, and confident with dogs, I’d love the opportunity to help care for your pet. I work full-time but come home midday for lunch, which allows me to provide potty breaks, playtime, and check-ins during the day. Evenings and weekends are when I’m most available for walks, boarding, drop-ins, and quality one-on-one attention. I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of care, exercise, and companionship while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a fully fenced yard for secure outdoor play and exercise, plus a clean, pet-friendly home.

About: What sets me apart is that I’m home full-time and it’s just me taking care of your pet, so they get constant attention and one-on-one care. I’m patient, gentle, and experienced with both puppies and senior pets, and I always follow each pet’s routine to keep them comfortable and happy. It’s just me caring for the pets, and I don’t work, so pet care fits into my day really naturally. I have plenty of time for walks, feeding, playtime, and giving each pet the attention they deserve. I have a very clean house no smoking in the house I have a big yard in the front to play all day in. And my house is good enough space

About: I have had animals almost my entire life. I am a big animal lover and would love to give your dog a safe, energetic, and loving home while you’re away. I do have one friendly dog of my own who would love to keep yours company. I am a stay at home mom with availability any day of the week and a lot of flexibility. I would love to welcome in and/or care for your pet. I have a fenced in yard with kids and a friendly dog to keep yours company. I can crate if needed and cater any care needs.

About: I have had many dogs in my family. We are always willing to help other family members and neighbors with watching or walking their dogs. I currently have a lot of time on my hands so I have a lot of time to walk your dog(s). I am a very active person and love taking multiple walks a day. I have a section of yard fenced off with a pool. All of the trashcans have lids. There is plenty of room in the house to run around.

About: Hello! I am a proud Clevelander and lover of the outdoors. I was previously on Rover as a regular dog-sitter and dog-walker, and looking to pick it up again as my schedule has become flexible. I loved caring for others’ dogs and meeting their needs when their pawrents were out of town or at work! I now live with my husband in a house with two pups of our own, a 8-year-old miniature poodle named Charlie and a 13 -year-old welsh terrier named Prim. I’m available for dog walking during the workweek! I have a flexible schedule these days and would be happy to walk your dog during the weekday. I always approach dogs slowly and allow them to sniff me first. On walks, I allow them to set their own pace. Then, I make sure they are comfortable and settled before I leave.

About: I have a husky and two kitties at home, and have always found working with animals to be the root of my happiness. I believe in treating our animals with the utmost care, so that they live a happiest and healthiest of lives. However, I can understand that when lives get busy it is hard to give our pets the exercise they deserve. This said, I would love to help out! I am a senior in high school, and am 18 years old. I am at school until 2:30pm, so afternoons and evenings is when I’m most available. Weekends are more open for me, so with communication I can be available any time of day. I have worked as a dog walker and sitter for about a year now, through contacting neighbors nearby. Whether it be walking my own husky or helping out in the neighborhood, I have walked dogs of all breeds. I would love to get in contact with you and see if your pet and I would be a good match!!

“Jill took awesome care of my cats while away. It was the first time leaving them alone so all the updates and pictures were appreciated! Would definitely use her service again!!”

About: I am a current student at the Ohio State university as an animal science and vet technician student. I have always had a passion for taking care of animals and ensure to extend the same care that I have for the animals I treat with your pets! I have worked with small companion animals numerous times as well as large animals so my skills are varied to work with changing circumstances! I also have experience with working with older dogs as I had an older dog for a long time. I am college student attending summer classes so I do have a time confinement in the mornings of some weekdays but I am free for weekends, afternoons, and evenings! A flexible schedule that can work for everyone and ensure comfort for your pet! I have a small unfenced front and backyard in a small, quiet neighborhood. I do not have any other animals in my home so I will ensure the comfortability and safety of your dog(s). I can easily crate your dog if needed as well.

About: I've had 5 dogs throughout my whole life, and I've enjoyed every second of taking care of them. Whether that was playing with them constantly with their puppy energy, taking them on daily walks, or spoiling them with pets and treats as they grew older. I've also pet-sat friends', family's, and neighbors' pets when needed. Not only am I experienced in pet handling and care, but I absolutely love all animals and ensuring the highest quality of life and care for them. I'm currently a student on summer break, but still taking a couple classes online in the mornings. After about 11 on everyday but Wednesday, I'm completely free to care for your sweet dog or dogs! Safety is my number 1 priority with my own dogs, and it will be just the same with yours. While walking, feeding, playing, and resting are also incredibly important to me when taking care of dogs, ensuring that your dog is safe and happy is most important.

About: Hi there! My name is Ireland, if you ever need someone to check in on your furry one during the day, I’d love to help. I’ve been the go‑to dog walker and pet‑check‑in person for neighbors for over 10 years, and caring for furry friends has genuinely become one of my favorite parts of life. I’m extremely reliable, consistent, and always treat every dog like they’re one of my own and trust me, mine set the bar high. I currently have two big, lovable goofballs at home: a Saint Bernedoodle and a Golden Doodle, both tipping the scales at over 100 pounds. So whether your pup is tiny, timid, energetic, or extra‑large, I’m fully prepared and experienced. If you’re looking for someone who shows up, pays attention, and makes your dog feel safe, happy, and loved, I’m your girl. Big dogs, small dogs, shy dogs, wild dogs - I walk them all like they’re my own. ❣️ I’m currently attending Cleveland State University’s Accelerated Nursing Program, and because the program is fully online, it gives me incredible flexibility throughout the day. I’m able to structure my coursework around your pet’s needs, which means I can reliably stop in for walks, check‑ins, feedings, or whatever support your family needs. Caring for animals fits naturally into my daily routine, and I love having that balance of studying and spending time with your furry one. When I’m caring for a pet whether in my home or yours my approach is simple: treat them like family and keep their routine steady, safe, and stress‑free. • Routine consistency - I follow your pet’s normal schedule for meals, walks, potty breaks, and playtime so everything feels familiar and comforting. • Detailed communication - You’ll get updates, photos, and notes so you always know how your furry one is doing. • Respect for your space - I keep your home tidy, follow all house rules, and make sure your pet’s environment stays clean and safe. • Behavior + comfort check‑ins - I pay attention to mood, appetite, energy, and any changes so you’re always in the loop. • Experience with large breeds I currently own two gentle giants a Saint Bernedoodle and a Goldendoodle, both over 100 lbs so I’m very comfortable managing big personalities and big paws. • Play, enrichment, and affection - Walks, mental stimulation, cuddles, and attention are all part of the package. • Cleanliness + comfort - Fresh water, clean bowls, cozy rest spots, and a calm environment are always maintained. Why You Can Trust Me: • 10+ years of experience caring for neighbors’ pets • Extremely reliable. I show up, communicate, and follow through. • Comfortable with all sizes — from tiny pups to 100+ lb doodles. • Genuine love for animals — I treat every pet like it’s my own.

“I have really appreciated Makaila taking care of our cat while we were gone. She always goes above and beyond, and even went out of her way to get supplies for Buddy when we ran out. She is truly amazing and will always book with her! Your pet is in excellent care with her! Thank you Makaila!”

“Taylor was great with my dog, Nika. She accepted a last minute booking when my regular sitter fell through which was a lifesaver for both me and my dog’s old lady bladder! My dog was also comfortable enough with Taylor to eat some food so that was an added bonus. I’ll be happy to book with Taylor again”

About: I’ve had dogs since forever, I love mine more than anything. My experiences dog sitting and cat sitting range from my neighbors and family to taking care of animals on my uncles farm. I love meeting people’s pets so it would be my pleasure to meet more!! My dog Ruby is 15 years old and I love her to death, I can’t imagine her being alone all day. I go to college full time at Cleveland State University. I do play in multiple orchestras as well, but although I’m busy I have time in between classes and in the afternoons/evenings that I struggle to fill! I would love to have a slow morning taking care of a pet, or going on a walk, so I am very flexible. I understand that all pets have their own personality, and honestly the best way to take care of them relies on me getting to know them. The quirks about pets are my favorite thing about them, and I am willing to work with any needs they have. I love spending time with any animal and making sure they feel loved and entertained.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid- from dog sitting for neighbors when I was a kid to dog sitting for relatives and friends as an adult. I’ve also owned a Dachshund, a German Shepherd, and Great Dane (yes, I kept sizing up lol). I’m currently available all day Monday-Thursday in the morning and afternoon. Since I have the summer free, I will prioritize your pet care in my daily schedule. When pets stay with me, I treat them like part of the family. I make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable in a calm, clean environment (no kids and I don’t smoke). I stick closely to their normal routines (including feeding times, walks, and potty breaks) and I’m always happy to provide updates, photos, and messages to make you feel conn acted when you’re away. If your pet has any special needs (like medication or dietary preferences), I’m experienced and attentive to those details. When I take care of pets in their own home, I aim to keep everything as consistent as possible by following instructions carefully and treating your space with the utmost respect. I’ll make sure they have plenty of companionship, exercise, and affection while you’re away.

About: My dear friend FLIES me down to Florida to care for her 3 dogs when she goes on vacation - yes, I'm that loving and attentive to the pups! I love, love, love them - big, small, in-between. I grew up with dogs, and have a gentle, kind way with them, and they tend to love me right back, pretty quickly in return! Dogs are so wonderful - they ground you, they help you remember every day what's really important in life... they're joyful, they're soulful and I'll care for and love your furry family member wonderfully in your absence! Please feel free to contact me with any questions and I'll be delighted to tell you more about me any time you'd like to talk! Pet care fits perfectly into my schedule as my other work that I do (marketing) is remote. I'll have lots of time with your pet if you bring me in for home care/pet sitting! I care for pets in their own homes, which is more comfortable for my pet clients. In my home, I have 4 cats of my own and my yard is not fenced in, so I'm happy to care for your buddies right in the environment they're happiest in -- their own house!

“Great communication!”

“I needed someone to let my dogs out in the mornings and Daisy was awesome! She was very consistent and always punctual, plus the dogs really loved her! She was also very patient when my key code system wouldn’t let her in. Overall, I highly recommend Daisy and will definitely hire her again in the future:)”
