Dog Sitting Lakemore

About: Hi! I’m an 18 year old pet sitter and I’d love the opportunity to care for your furry family members! Although I’m new to professional pet sitting, caring for animals has been a huge part of my life since I was 6 years old. I’ve grown up with both dogs and cats, as well as drop in to care for friends animals. I’m someone who is dependable, patient, gentle, and always on time. I understand that leaving your pets with someone new can be stressful, so I’ll do everything I can to make them feel safe, comfortable, loved, and happy while you’re away. ❤️ I work part-time in the evenings, which means I have plenty of time during the day to care for and keep your pets company! I’m available every morning and have afternoon availability as well, while my work schedule stays consistent from week to week. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. When caring for your pets in their home, I pay close attention to small details and follow your instructions exactly so you can feel confident that everything is being taken care of the way you prefer. I’m happy to help with feeding, dog walks, potty breaks, playtime, giving pets and attention, and caring for cats. I’ll make sure your pets have everything they need while you’re away and keep their normal routine as consistent as possible.

“Hayley was amazing with Buddy, my high energy 4 month old pup! Buddy is my first puppy and I feel comfortable having Hayley look after him. She is very caring, organized, trustworthy and responsible. She genuinely cares about Buddy’s well-being and getting him the proper exercise he needs. I am so happy that I hired Hayley to do daily drop-ins. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for proper care for their fur baby.”

About: Hi I’m Sofia, I’ve grown up being the main caretaker of 3 dogs, I have volunteered at dog shelters and I love dogs from all sizes and personalities! For my scheduling, I am a student so my time can be made flexible making my availability pretty open. I am always free on the weekends. I am in a student in a dorm therefore I can board small dogs if needed, I don’t have a roommate that can intervene with the dog(s).

“Nathan did a great job with my pup. She is wary of new people but she warmed up on our meet & greet and seemed to do just fine for his drop in visits. He sent me pictures which I really appreciated and even ventured out on a walk (although she wasn't as enthused). It's obvious he loves dogs and was very responsible and thoughtful. I would recommend him for sure. Thanks again!”

About: I been working with cats and dogs for 5 years. I am currently a kennel tech and an experienced dog bather. Hoping to be a vet assistant some day! I work at a kennel Thursday through Sunday 5-9pm! I can be as early as you need! I am off Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday! Fridays I do go into work at 1 and leave around 9! I live in an apartment and only have 2 cats but I clean their litter box everyday and feed them twice a day. For your pets I will follow the schedule you tell me, I will let your dogs go potty and clean your cats litter box and then feed your fur babies with lots of playtimes!!

About: I've grown up with animals my whole life, always having a cat and/or dog around! I love my family pets dearly, and since I live far away from them now, I am missing the connection with a furry friend. I have lived with and helped raise my current dog and cat since they were babies all the way to their current old ages. I used to check on my neighbors pets, they had 4 in total--two dogs (one senior), two cats. I would take the dogs outside for bathroom and run around time, as well as feed them lunch. Cats are elusive, so I just made sure they had food and fresh water available. I'd also stay extra time to dole out all the affection the animals needed before mom and dad got home. Currently I care for 8 fish in my 20 gallon fish tank! I'm in college at the moment but my schedule is open in the afternoons/evenings. Monday I have classes at 11 am so I can do a morning check. Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday I spend the morning student teaching so I am available after 1-1:30 pm for checks, Tuesday and Thursday I have a class from 6-7 pm. Friday I have only one commitment from 3-5 pm so I can do morning checks and afternoon/evening checks. Weekends are mostly open, occasionally I have events. I cannot care for your pet in my own home, but I am more than willing to care for your pet in your home. Pets are usually more comfortable with a new person when they are in their own territory. As long as I know the rules for taking care of your pet, I will be able to give you and your pet a positive care experience.

“You did incredible! Thank you for all you do for our babies!”

About: I have experience caring for cats and dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities, and I truly enjoy getting to know each pets unique needs.

I’m experienced with feeding, fresh water, walks, potty breaks, playtime, basic grooming like brushing, administering oral medications when needed, and following each pet’s normal routine. I understand the importance of consistency, patience, and positive interactions to help dogs feel safe while their owners are away.Your dog’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. My current lifestyle is very adaptable, which allows me to provide dependable, personalized care for every pet. I have a flexible schedule and can easily plan my day around your pet’s routine, whether that means morning walks, midday drop-ins, or evening visits. I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals, so making sure they receive the attention, exercise, and companionship they need is something I genuinely look forward to. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll follow your pet’s routine, provide plenty of love, attention, exercise, and playtime, and carefully follow any instructions you leave. I’ll also treat your home with respect and send regular updates and photos, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in caring hands.

About: With 10+ years of hands-on clinical veterinary experience, combined with a lifetime of growing up around, caring for, and working with animals, I bring over a decade of cumulative experience in veterinary medicine, pet care, and animal husbandry. My experience with animals began long before my professional veterinary career and includes dogs, cats, pigs, chickens, cows, horses, and many other animals. This lifelong connection has given me a deep understanding of animal behavior, care, handling, and well-being that extends far beyond the clinical setting. Throughout my veterinary career, I have consistently pursued continuing education through seminars, conferences, specialized training, and additional coursework to continually expand my knowledge and strengthen my clinical skill set. I have maintained **BLS and ALS CPR certification since 2020** and have been **Fear Free Certified since 2018**, along with holding numerous additional certifications, continuing education achievements, and awards earned throughout my career. The majority of my professional veterinary experience has been concentrated in **surgery, emergency medicine, and intensive care/ICU**, where attention to detail, critical thinking, and the ability to recognize subtle changes in a patient's condition are essential. These experiences have taught me to be highly observant and proactive, with a strong understanding of early warning signs and indicators that may suggest a patient is developing a problem. I take pride in being attentive to the small details that can make a significant difference in an animal's outcome. Pets are my passion, and pet people are my people. I genuinely enjoy building relationships with both animals and their families and believe exceptional veterinary care should be built on compassion, communication, trust, and a little fun along the way. Whether I am caring for a critically ill patient, assisting with surgery, supporting a fearful/nervous pet, or simply making an animal's day a little better, I bring the same level of dedication and enthusiasm to every patient. I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, valued, and well cared for—and every pet parent deserves to know that their beloved companion is in capable, compassionate hands. Your furry family members will receive the highest level of care, attention, and compassion I can provide—and we'll have some fun along the way. I am comfortable and experienced in caring for patients across a wide range of ages, conditions, and levels of acuity. My clinical experience includes the safe administration and management of oral, injectable, and topical medications, as well as monitoring patients receiving ongoing or complex treatment plans. I am comfortable working with advanced and late-stage disease, chronic and complex medical conditions, hospice and end-of-life care, geriatric patients, pediatrics, neonates, and emergency cases. My background in surgery, emergency medicine, and ICU/critical care has strengthened my ability to remain calm and attentive in high-pressure situations while recognizing subtle changes in a patient's condition and responding appropriately. I understand that each patient requires an individualized approach, and I am committed to providing compassionate, thorough, and attentive care whether a patient is recovering from surgery, managing a chronic illness, beginning life as a neonate, facing an emergency, or approaching the end of life. I am equally comfortable providing hands-on nursing care, assisting with treatment plans, communicating observations to the veterinary team, educating and supporting pet parents, and advocating for the patient's comfort and overall quality of life. Pet care has been a huge part of my daily and weekly routine for more than 10 years. Whether I’m working in veterinary medicine or caring for pets in someone’s home, I’m accustomed to making animal care a priority and building it naturally into my everyday routine. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality, habits, routines, and individual needs. For me, providing consistent, attentive care isn’t simply a job—it’s something I’ve built my life around and truly love doing. I approach every pet as an individual and tailor my care to their specific personality, routine, medical needs, and comfort level. Whether I am caring for a pet in my own home or in a client's home, my priority is always to provide a **safe, calm, consistent, and loving environment** that feels as close to their normal routine as possible. I am comfortable caring for pets with a wide range of needs, including puppies and kittens, seniors, anxious or fearful pets, medically complex patients, and animals requiring medications or additional monitoring. I can administer **oral, injectable, and topical medications**, follow detailed feeding and treatment instructions, monitor changes in behavior or condition, and recognize when something may warrant veterinary attention. My background in emergency, critical care, ICU, and surgery has made me particularly attentive to subtle changes that may indicate a problem. When caring for pets in a client's home, I respect that I am also caring for someone's home and follow their instructions closely. I maintain established feeding, medication, exercise, potty, sleep, and enrichment routines whenever possible. I provide regular updates and photos so owners know how their pets are doing and can feel connected while they are away. When caring for pets in my own home, I focus on creating a secure and comfortable environment while considering each animal's temperament, energy level, social preferences, and individual needs. I believe pets shouldn't simply be "watched" while their owners are away—they should receive attention, companionship, enrichment, affection, and quality care. Ultimately, my goal is simple: I want your pets to feel safe, loved, and comfortable, and I want you to have complete peace of mind knowing they are in capable and compassionate hands.

About: I have taken care of both dogs and cats for family, neighbors, and friends for the last 6-7 years. I have more experience with dogs— ranging from all sizes and ages, however I love cats and never say no to a feline friend as well! Expected care for the animals from me has included daily walks, feeding per directed schedule, hanging out with them, medication administration as needed, and cleaning up after them after an occasional “oopsie”. Most of my experience has been staying in client houses, so I am comfortable with that, however I am also more than confident with driving back and forth for potty breaks throughout the day. I just completed grad school and I am a certified Physician Associate working in the ER. My work schedule is typically 2-3 12h shifts a week— flipping between day and night shifts. My schedule for pet care is more client-based than anything and I will always work my personal schedule around taking care of the animals needs first. I prefer keeping the clients pets in their homes for their safety and comfort. I will always put them on leashes unless they are fenced in and I will go outside with them initially to keep an eye on them and to feel out the surroundings myself.

“Lillie did a fantastic job caring for my 2 dogs with drop in visits. She was polite, professional, attentive and kept me informed the whole time. I arrived home to two very happy corgis!! I would absolutely recommend her and would book again for future visits. Thanks so much again!”

About: Northeast Ohio Native! I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and have experience caring for many different types of pets. I understand that dogs need time outside, walks and plenty of attention to keep them happy and healthy. I also understand that cats have their own personalities they love their playtime, but they also appreciate their independence and quiet time. No matter their personality or routine, I’ll make sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I’ll be right by their side, providing companionship and the care they deserve! All animal photos in my gallery are pets I have lived with or cared for within the past three years, except for Sasha the Giraffe I had the opportunity to feed while at the San Diego Zoo! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel loved, comfortable and cared for. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attention, walks and playtime. I treat every pet like they are part of my family and enjoy creating a consistent routine that helps them feel safe while their owners are away. I care for every pet by learning their individual needs, personality and routine before providing care. I prioritize trust and comfort by following owner instructions, maintaining a clean environment and giving pets plenty of attention and affection. In a client’s home, I want each pet to feel relaxed, secure and cared for while their family is away.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life. Grew up with horses, dogs, cats, chickens, donkeys etc. I have always had a deep love for animals and truly enjoy being that trusted person with others fur babies. I truly see pets as family and treat them with the same care, patience, and respect I would give any person. I will treat your dog like family — because that’s exactly what they are. I currently have a very flexible schedule and would truly love to make caring for your fur baby a special part of my daily routine. I am available for dog walking or in-home care services. While I can’t bring pets into my home due to having a cat, I’m happy to care for them in the comfort of their own home. Being in a familiar environment often helps pets feel more relaxed and secure. I will follow your instructions closely and make sure your home, gates, and fencing are always secure while your pet is in my care.

About: Hi everybody! My name is Landri and I am a fur mom, aunt, sister, friend, and god-mom to many fur babes. I grew up with indoor and outdoor cats and dogs my whole life and have always had a love for animals and their unique personalities 💕 I currently have a fur baby named Denver who is a half lab/half golden, and he is 90 pounds of love & a little bit spoiled (judging by the amount of treats & toys in our house that he would love to share)! He loves all animals and would be happy to help me take care and have fun with your fur babies. Aside from having my own dogs and cats, I have helped to take care of my family’s, friends, and co-workers pets over the years. I have a big yard that will give your pet(s) plenty of room to run and play and am happy to accommodate to any needs they have. Having a fur baby myself, I understand the importance of having someone who will be reliable and treat your pet like their own. I will happily send photos and updates daily so you don’t miss them too much and know they are in the best hands. I do work during the day (M-F), but my boyfriend who is also a pet lover works a swing shift and has 4-5 day breaks and/or a mostly opposite schedule from myself. I have cared for pets of all sizes and breeds and love each and every one! I look forward to meeting you and your loved fur babes!

About: Hello, my name is Elle and I can't wait to be your pet's new friend! I have owned pets, including dogs, my whole life, and have always been an animal lover. Before college, I worked at a dog daycare and boarding facility for two years as a Lead Dog Handler. We focused on enrichment techniques, and I learned a lot about dogs and their behavior. I can read dog body language and react appropriately to it, I can help train dogs, and most importantly I can make sure a dog is having fun! Whether your dog is older and treasures their nap time, a puppy who wants constant play, or something in between, I can meet them where they are and ensure they are comfortable, safe, and happy. If needed, I am able to do basic grooming tasks such as bathing and nail trims, I can administer medications, and I am trained in safely breaking up dog fights and restraining animals. I hope to meet your furry friend soon! I am currently unavailable 12-3pm Monday-Thursday. All other days and times are open. My schedule may change slightly this fall as school starts again, but I will be as flexible as possible! I will be 100% respectful of my clients' homes, following any instructions given to me. If I have any questions, I will reach out and ask, and the client can always do the same for me. I hope to have open and clear communication with each of my clients to build a safe and trusting relationship.
