About: As someone who has grown up with furry companions, I know how comforting it is to know that our four-legged family members are in good hands. Having rescue pitties, all of my dogs have had various degrees of anxiety (especially separation anxiety) when in a new location, at the vet, thunderstorms/fireworks, away from family and fur siblings, etc. That said, I understand the importance of building trust, assurance and a comforting atmosphere! Whether it be cuddles, walks, play time, potty breaks, dinner time... you name it, I'm happy to help in any way I can :) As a recent college graduate transitioning to a seasonal Cuyahoga Valley ranger position in May 2026, I have lots of current availability! I am able to accommodate a variety of schedules and needs with notice! I will abide by the routine you've created and established to ensure the easiest transitions. I'm more than happy to provide updates after each visit or throughout house sitting when requested as well. While sitting, you can rest assured that play time, cuddles and time outside will fill our day!

About: I have several years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages and personalities. I've cared for a variety of pets: seniors, puppies, cats, kittens, high energy, shy or anxious. I’m patient, gentle, and always focused on making pets feel safe and loved. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or quiet companionship, I adapt to each pet’s needs and routine. I treat every animal like they’re my own and always keep their comfort, safety, and happiness as my top priorities. I currently am a pharmacy technician full time but I typically have 3 days off weekly and time before and after work available for your pets needs. I’m someone who believes pets deserve the same comfort, safety, and love they get at home. When your pet stays with me, they’re not just being “watched”—they’re being cared for thoughtfully and responsibly.

About: Hi! My name is Lindsay. I'm a pediatric occupational therapy assistant who works in the school system, and during the summer months I'm home full-time, allowing me to provide flexible, attentive care for your pets. I previously provided pet care through Rover and am excited to start offering services again. I have experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and energy levels, and I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member. I have a friendly, energetic 2-year-old pup who loves meeting new dogs, as well as a large, fully fenced backyard with plenty of space for running, playing, and getting their energy out. Whether your dog enjoys active playtime or simply relaxing with company, they'll receive lots of attention, care, and affection while they're here. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! Feel free to send me a message if you'd like to schedule a meet-and-greet before booking a stay. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. During the school year, I work as a pediatric occupational therapy assistant, but throughout the summer I am home full-time, which allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, playtime, walks, and plenty of attention throughout the day. My own dog is an important part of our family's routine, so daily exercise, outdoor play, feeding schedules, and lots of affection are already built into my day. With a large backyard and a dog-friendly environment, I enjoy spending time outside and making sure pets get both physical activity and companionship. I understand that every pet has different needs, and I'm happy to follow their usual routines as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable, safe, and at home while they're in my care. When caring for pets in a client's home, I understand the importance of maintaining their regular routine and keeping them comfortable in their familiar environment. I make sure they have fresh water, meals on schedule, exercise, playtime, and plenty of affection. I also provide updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are being well cared for while they're away.

About: I can sit and board during any holiday! I am new to the site, so that is why I do not have any reviews. I try to respond in less than thirty minutes. In the evening, I usually respond within a few minutes. I walk on a daily basis personally and am used to taking dogs on walks at least a few times a day. I have worked with all different breeds and do my research on breed specifications before taking care of any animal. I have helped taken care of animals that have to receive oral and injections daily. I have taken care of all ages of animals from babies to seniors. I have owned dogs, cats, Guinea pigs, and rabbits. I currently do not own any animals, so that I can focus on your pets. I do usually send updates/pictures during the time your pet is with me, so that you know how they are doing I work as a nurse full time Monday through Friday. I started work usually no earlier than 745 am and am done no later than 5 pm. I have an hour long lunch break. I board on weekends so that I can be with your animal 24/7. I can dog sit throughout the week and dogs will receive a morning and evening walk as well as a lot of love and affection. I can do dog walking in the evening and if you live in the Fairlawn/Montrose area, I can do drop in visits between 12 pm-1 pm. I keep my availability up to date on this calendar as well. I live in a two bedroom apartment, but I live near a dog park I can take them to and can take them out every hour or two during the weekend if the board with me. I would take them on at least one walk minimum whether staying at my apartment or taking care of them at yours. The walks can vary from an half an hour to an hour or more depending on the dog and how your dog is feeling. I always ask their feeding schedule and an dietary restrictions. At my home, I have intellectual toys as well as just typical toys. If allowed, dogs and cats are more than welcome to sleep in bed with me. I allow animals on my furniture and have locks on cabinets to ensure they cannot get anything to harm them. I keep treats and food at my apartment. For walks, I have a hands free leash that goes around waist, so that way there is not a chance that the leash slips out of my hands.

“Denise is amazing and I highly recommend using her. She updated us daily with adorable pictures of her playing with our fur baby. And even send me updates with WhatsApp since we were out of the country!! Knowing we have such a reliable and caring pet sitter relieves the stress we use to feel while traveling.”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs of all sizes. Also, have been trusted by many family members & friends to take care of their dogs. This includes taking care of an elderly dog who takes multiple medications & has some trouble getting around, & on the other end of the spectrum a very active & young husky, plus many more! I am a full time athletic trainer at a college, but get a month off in the summer. The other month I work during the summer I only work 4 hour shifts so will have plenty of time to attend to pups! Moving forward after summer I can pick up random week nights & weekends here & there! I am an active person so would love to walk with a dog & take it out to run around & play! On the flip side, I also love cuddles & will give your pups all the attention they would need!

“As always, Deanna took great care of our dogs while we were on a short vacation for the weekend. Highly recommend her for all your pet needs!”

About: Hi, my name is Sophia and I have a deep love for all animals. Although my beloved beagle passed away a couple years ago, I truly miss the companionship of pets, which is one of the reasons I’m so excited to help care for other animals. I’ve previously worked as a dog walker and pet sitter, where I gained experience with feeding,walking,grooming and providing plenty of love and attention to pets. In my current role as an Occupational Therapist Assistant in home health, I have also had the pleasure of interacting with my patients’ animals, which has only deepened my appreciation for pets. I also love capturing adorable photos of the animals I care for, as a way to share their unique personalities with their owner. I make my own schedule for work, so you let me know when is best for you and I should be able to make it work. I pay attention to any changes in behaviors and will notify you if anything seems off. Communication is very important to me so I will be also checking in with you to make sure everything is going well.

“Emma was a great find! Our dogs were comfortable with her the minute they met her. She is truly a pet lover! She is responsible, communicative and makes you feel comfortable leaving your beloved pets with her. We are so happy to have found her and we highly recommend her!”

“Haley took good care of Doodlebug. She sent me pictures every day so I could see him eating and playing. Thank you to Haley for being so sweet to Doodlebug.”

About: I have taken care of the pets for family and friends for years, with many over night stays with them. Animals tend to be drawn to me and I can never get enough of the unconditional love that they provide! I am great with requests for the special care of your special furry family members! I work at a school, so we are currently in summer and I am off of work at 2 ever day of the week, but also available at night for any possible over night needs! I will not be taking animals to my home, as I have a roommate who has cats and they do not do well with other animals.

About: Hello! I have had a love for pets my whole life! Starting when I was 12 I began to check in on my neighbor's and family member's animals. I would walk them, feed them, stay the night with them, and love on them! As a recent high school graduate, I am free both weekdays and weekends for the summer and can put my full attention and energy into watching your pet! I always make sure that my animal's needs are taken care of first! I take them on nice long walks and play with them and give them as much attention as possible! I make sure to take them out every few hours depending on how big or small!

About: I have been overnight sitting / home visiting different friends/neighbors pets since I was 15 years old! I am very trustworthy and reliable and make sure I am always on time and organized! I am currently a college student at kent state! I work a part time job and I am also in a sorority, I only have class Mondays and Wednesdays and other than that I am very flexible! I am very respectful and clean! I do not want your pets to be uncomfortable just as much as I wouldn't want to be! Depending on the service needed I am very flexible with you and your pets needs.

“Tara was great with my two kittens! She made sure that they were comfortable and loved while I was away. I have one who bolts for the outside and she was extra cautious to make sure there was no escapees!”
