About: Hi! My name is Ebony, and I’m a college student pursuing a degree in Veterinary Technology. I’ve had cats and dogs my entire life and currently have a dog of my own, so caring for animals isn’t just a job… it’s my passion. With my background, I’m comfortable administering oral medications, recognizing changes in behavior, and responding appropriately in emergency situations. Cleanliness and organization are very important to me, and I always make sure your home and your pet’s space are left tidy. I am more than happy to provide regular updates and photos, so you always know how your fur baby is doing while you’re away. ❤️ While I attend school full-time , my availability outside of classes is fully dedicated to your pet’s care. I currently offer in-home sitting and walking services so your pet can stay in their familiar environment and maintain their daily routine. I understand how important patience, consistency, and compassion are when it comes to building trust with both pets and their owners. I strictly follow all provided feeding schedules, dietary needs, medication instructions, and routines to ensure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and stress-free in their own home. Thank you for considering me as your sitter ❣️

About: I am a retired high school teacher and have loved and had dogs all of my life as well as a variety of other animals. My 16 year old little man passed away May 2019 and this is the first time my house is empty since 2000. I will treat and love your fur babies like they were my own. I have prepared custom meals, walked dogs regularly for good exercise, created and managed medication and feeding schedules, kept up with their vet care, promoted a social life by introducing them to people and other dogs, groomed and bathed them, and provided and shared living space catered to their needs because they were part of my family! Your dog will be safe and comfortable in my care!

About: Hi, I'm Amanda! I've had animals my entire life and truly can't imagine a home without them. Right now, I share my life with two dogs, two guinea pigs, a cat, and a bearded dragon -- basically a small farm (yes, I know). Because I've cared for so many different types of pets, I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs. Whether your pet is playful, shy, energetic, or just wants a quiet companion, I'm happy to meet them where they're most comfortable. I offer pet sitting during the day, evenings, and overnight short visits as well as dog walking, feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, and pet transportation. Your pets will be cared for as if they were my own with patience, attention, and lots of love. Please message me if you have any questions, thank you!! I’m looking to earn extra income doing something I genuinely enjoy. My schedule is very flexible, and I’m home most of the day to provide attentive care. I provide attentive, respectful care in my client’s home so pets can stay comfortable in their own space. I follow all instructions closely, stick to routines, keep things clean and safe, and give pets plenty of attention and reassurance.

“The absolute best. Reliable, communicative, empathic, trustworthy—I could go on and on! My dog is leash reactive and it’s such a relief knowing he has someone who understands him and is willing to work with his individual needs. And his little tail doesn’t stop wagging from the moment he sees her car pull up!”

“Dasha was awesome! She texted me updates throughout Wilma's walk/visit and even brought in our packages from our front porch. She followed all of the directions we left to a T, but most importantly she took great care of our dog and made her long day alone less lonely. We will definitely use her again. Wilma had a great time with Dasha!”

About: I have taken care of pets since my youth, and I’m usually the first person my friends and family call when they need someone reliable for the day. I truly enjoy long walks, and having a furry companion along makes them even better. Animals bring so much joy into my life, and I’m always happy to provide attentive, loving care whenever you need a sitter. I currently work full-time remotely, which gives me the flexibility to provide attentive care during the week. I’m also available on weekends, including overnight stays if needed. Please try to coordinate at least three days in advance. I’m easygoing and flexible. I have a spacious backyard where pets can safely roam and get plenty of fresh air. There’s also a bike path right across the street that’s perfect for long walks and exercise. I currently don’t have any pets of my own, though my sister’s dog visits occasionally. I’m always happy to discuss details and tailor care to your pet’s needs when you’re ready.

About: I can show that I am committed to providing the best care for each pet by taking the time to get to know them. I am responsible.

About: Hi, my name is Tina! I grew up on a farm in rural PA which has provided me with a lifetime of caring for animals. I actually cannot remember a time when I haven’t had a pet. When I moved to Cleveland I didn’t know anyone here and I was working 12 hour night shifts. With my work schedule (and before Rover), finding dog sitting/walking was tough. Now that my job has become more flexible and I have the luxury of providing pet services, I want to make this task as easy as possible on you and your pup. I am comfortable giving both oral and injection medications. I can provide care from puppies to seniors. My love for animals doesn’t stop at dogs. I can also drop-in to your home to look after your cats and other pets (birds, fish, rodents, reptiles, etc) - I have experience with them all. If you'd prefer to have a solo stay with your dog(s) I can provide a one fur family at a time service (excluding my pets) for an additional $10/dog per day fee. Please let me know your preference at booking. Otherwise, there may be overlap in fur clients during your dogs stay. **WE ARE UNABLE TO ACCOMMODATE HIGH ENERGY DOGS AT THIS TIME** I am a registered nurse who works on an as needed basis. My partner (Rick) works from home 100% of the time so there will always be at least one set of eyes, if not two, on your furry friend. We currently have 2 rescue dogs and 2 cats in our home (at times we may have a foster dog as well). All of which are spayed/neutered, up to date with vaccines and are non-territorial with new dogs. I know it’s hard to leave your doggo behind, but I will ensure that they are well cared for while you are away. We have a quiet, comfortable, clean home for your pup to enjoy in a safe and friendly neighborhood. We have a spacious, fully fenced in backyard with a doggie door that will fit up to 40lbs - meaning your dog will have 24/7 access to the outside. And a pet camera to watch them on if we so happen to not be home. *All of my clients will receive photos daily.* Whether it is humans or animals — providing loving care is my passion. I will treat your furry family member as one of my own.

“Asis was very good with our dog. He was unsure of her at first because it was their first time meeting but he quickly warmed up to her once they started walking. We will definitely be using her again.”

Rod S.

“Val is great. Communicated well. Taylor really looked forward to their walks.”

Michelle L.

“Stacey is compassionate and very caring. Stacey is positive and energetic, a perfect demeanor for entrusting the care of our puppy too. We appreciate all that she does for our puppy!”

About: I have been a pet owner for about four years now and truly have a passion for taking care of dogs and giving them freedom to have fun and be themselves. I work at night time so usually when I get up in the day, I have the most energy and that’s when I’m totally available for the time and attention for the love of dogs. I have a closed in gated fence, which allows the pets to have access to roam around handedly at Will I have a true passion for taking care of dogs.

About: I’ve grown up with family dogs and have been a trusted dog sitter for close friends and family for nearly 10 years, caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I also have 5 years of hands-on experience with my own Portuguese Water Dog, who is healthy, happy, and well-trained. He’s part of our family and gets two walks a day, lots of playful activity, and special care. He truly is our little boy! I love puppy playdates and socializing dogs safely. My dog enjoys the company of other dogs, children, and adults of all ages, so I’m comfortable caring for pets in multi-dog households or busy family environments. I treat every dog like part of the family, ensuring they get exercise, attention, and love every day. Additionally, I have experience raising baby chickens and cared for my very own hens for three years! I truly love pets of all kinds and can’t wait to help take care of yours! I work part-time so I have plenty of time to play with your pups! I am available 3 days a week, Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, from 6 AM to 10PM for drop-ins and walks. I focus on providing reliable, flexible, and loving care, and I’m happy to help with feeding, potty breaks, playtime and general house sitting while I drop in. I live in Independence and am excited to help neighbors and the local community when you need an extra hand. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I provide a secure, loving environment whether we’re walking, playing, or checking in at home. I build trust with every dog, making sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and part of the family. From supervised puppy playdates and sleepovers to daily walks, I focus on exercise, mental stimulation, and affection — so your furry friend thrives while you’re away.

“Kendall has been very receptive and quick to respond with any communications. The dogs immediately took to her! Very happy with the services.”

“Joanna is amazing!!!! This was my first time using a dog walking service and I was instantly comfortable with her. She went above and beyond in taking care of my girl! A great communicator with updates, scheduling, and pics/reports of my dog's behavior. I would highly recommend her if you're looking for someone to be responsible, loving, and affectionate toward your "kid", whether a pup or senior dog.”

Brenda B.

“We keep going back to her. Katherine always treats our pets kindly and updates us with lots of pictures. She even helped to clean up messes our puppy made during her visit. Cannot recommend her enough!!”

About: I’ve taken care of a German Shepherd named Kylo for the past 2 years. I recently stopped due to the owner being able to stay home with him full time. I used to house/dog sit, walk, and help with general care including baths, nail trimming, and very very basic trims. I work 3rd shift Monday-Friday. So I will be available between noon-6:00 PM on those days. I am available between 9AM-5PM on Saturday’s and 9AM-2:00PM on Sundays. I will care in anyway needed. I can provide companion, physical and mental stimulation to your dog, make sure they are fed and hydrated, walked and taken to go potty, along with any other basic task you may want complete.

“Jessica was wonderful with Honey! She is very comfortable with her. I would call her again.”
