“My dog Jojo and her cousin Ruby spent 6 nights with Kathy while my family was on vacation with my sister’s family. I was very nervous to leave Jojo, because she had never been left with anyone else before since getting her as a puppy in 2020. Kathy was wonderful! She was so kind and caring towards the dogs. It was so great to get her daily texts and pictures! I could tell both Jojo and Ruby were so well taken care of, and I was able to relax and enjoy my vacation. I would most definitely have Kathy take care of Jojo again. ;)”


“Leonard and his family were wonderful, they sent pictures multiple times a day and treated my pup as if he were their own! Thank you so much!!!! Will book with again.”


“Marilyn was amazing in caring for our Coco, she kept us updated and included pictures. She gave Coco all the love and cuddling she needed. Will definitely rebook again! Thanks Again Marilyn!??”


About: I’ve had cats and dogs as pets most of my life. I had a senior cat I administered fluids and insulin to. I have a puppy that I got at 8 weeks old. I’ve recently done potty training, walk training and trick training with my doodle. I recently retired and am looking to spend some time with furry friends rather than sitting at a desk! My schedule is flexible but prefer morning walks. I will work with you to make sure your pet is happy and comfortable while you are away. Any special requests such as certain treat or walk time will be accommodated when possible!

“Sam was wonderful! Our Lyla and Lincoln were incorporated right into her family. Communications was excellent. We got photos every day. Lyla and Lincoln were content driving home and adjusted without issue back into home life. Highly recommend!”



“Christine is absolutely amazing with dogs. A true whisperer in my opinion. My Shepard who is picky about people jumped on Christine’s shoulders and kissed her right away. I knew then it was going to be great. Would recommend 10/10 and will be using her services often!”


“Ramona was wonderful! This is the first time we left our Cockapoo for a longer period and she made him a part of her family. Her commitment to daily updates and photos made our vacation even more relaxing. I am keeping Ramona on speed dial for all my future needs.”


“My dog had a very pleasant stay .. actually cried when we drove away haha! Victoria kept me updated and sent pictures. Will use her in the future as well! Definitely reccomend.”



“Dixie's stay with Katherine was perfect. She was happy to be back at her own vacation place while we enjoyed a family trip. Katherine even helped Dixie feel comfortable during fireworks when she was frightened.”


“Monika and family are wonderful with our elderly little boy. She send pictures and when we arrive home we also get a little report about his stay. Highly recommend Monika!”


“Sligo had the best time playing with Sarah and Brendan’s pups all weekend! Thank you so much for taking such great care of him! We will definitely be using them again :)”


“Aspen was a wonderful caretaker for Jim! We highly recommend her to care for your pet. Being from out of town and not knowing anyone in the Cleveland area we were very apprehensive of just leaving our wonderful “ Jim” with just anyone. Thanks again! Aspen comes highly recommended! Mike and Sandi”


“Anna and Christian gave my dogs a good experience. I loved having daily pictures and updates about them. I am glad my dogs were able to feel at home. Thank you!”



“Simply Amazing! Elandra took great care of my buddy Bandit while I was away on my cruise. This is was the first time I've used a boarder and she really eased my anxiety with consistent updates and wonderful care. I will definitely tell anyone who will listen. GO TO ELANDRA!!!”

I am available most days. Please contact me if you are looking for a dog walker. Have a great day! Thanks so much! 🐶🐶❤️🐶🐶

“I am so happy with Kenny and Susan's care with Doodle. He is a "velcro" dog and they obviously loved and cuddled him for the five days I was gone. Definitely would recommend them!”
