Ebony was so kind and helpful throughout my dog baby's visit. She sent me tons of photos and updates while she had my baby. Baby(my dog) was well taken care of threwout her stay with Ebony. I'm so grateful for her, as she took my booking last minute since I had an unexpected family emergency come up. I will definitely use Ebony again in the future seeing as how amazingly she took care of what I consider a family member to me.

About: I will make myself available to do everything possible to keep your dog happy and calm while you are away. Animals are my passion and come natural to me. You will have to worries leaving them me. I’m currently working part-time cleaning houses. As well as, babysitting and pet sitting. I make my own schedule so I can be available when you need me. I try to stick to the routine the pets are most used to as not to stress them out too much. Regular feeding, walking, etc.

August was wonderful with my fur baby and my home. It was so much easier to just leave and go on vacation instead of packing my dog up with all her stuff and trying to pick her up. I think it was less stressful for both of us. I definitely will be using August in the future.

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.

Kristen did a fantastic job with our two dogs while we were out of town for 5 days! She was very responsive to communication the entire time. We didn’t return to any accidents or messes we had to clean up which for us is a blessing as one of our dogs tends to have some potty issues when we are gone for an extended period. Usually our dogs are super excited to see us when we return- this time I think they were disappointed to see us and not to see Kristen!! Would definitely rebook ☺️

About: I have professional animal care experience of 4+ years working in a dog daycare/boarding facility and in pet stores where I cared for small mammals, reptiles, and fish. I've also had dogs and cats my whole life. New to cleveland area, looking to explore and earn on this side gig! I currently work as a bartender- almost exclusively at night, so my days are very open! The perfect fit for me would be jobs in the early afternoon. With love, kindness, and respect! Animals are living creatures and should be treated as such. That being said I'm aware certain animals will need specific care and would do whatever I could to comply with them :)

About: I have grown up with dogs and cats my entire life and think that they are great to be around, as well as very sweet animals. I occasionally dog sit for family and friends and would love to help more people out. I am currently a college student home for the summer and wanting to do something that I genuinely enjoy. I have a very flexible schedule. I feed and walk dogs as needed per each clients request. I can do longer or shorter walks and even take them to parks if they are well trained on leash.

Alivia was extremely responsive and responsible. She took wonderful care of Anakin, giving him lots of exercise and cuddles. She also took wonderful care of our home. She sent regular updates and photos and responded to any questions promptly. Our house was immaculate upon our return, and she even stripped her bed, washed the sheets and replaced them before we arrived home. Highly recommend Alivia and hope to have her stay again.
