“Maria was great! She was really friendly and our dog enjoyed his stay playing with her pups in the backyard. She sent pictures throughout the day also and kept us updated on our dog. Would highly recommend booking with her.”
“Highly recommend Anna and Alex! They are super communicative and accommodating. Our initial day care day was cancelled due to them being sick, which they informed me very early on the day and explained how uncommon cancelling is for them.

About: Hi, I’m Alex! I live in Lakewood, Ohio, and work from home full-time, which means your pup will get plenty of love, attention, and care throughout the day. My flexible schedule allows me to be fully present with the dogs I watch—whether that’s extra playtime, regular potty breaks, or simply being a comforting presence throughout the day. I’ve always been a dog person and genuinely love spending time with them. I’ve had my dog, Bruno, for a little over two years now. He’s friendly, playful, and loves meeting other dogs. We have a fully fenced-in backyard that’s perfect for safe, supervised play and outdoor relaxation. Whether it’s a game of fetch, a good sniff around the yard, or lounging in the sun, there’s always room for fun here. Over the past few months, I’ve started dog sitting more regularly, and it’s been a great experience getting to know dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. Whether your dog is staying overnight, popping in for a visit, or hanging out for daycare, I’ll treat them like one of my own. I know how important it is to feel confident when leaving your dog with someone new, and I’m here to make sure both you and your pup feel completely comfortable and cared for. I work from home, so I can easily manage having a dog with me during the day or after work if needed. It’s a big part of my routine. I have plenty of space inside and out for completely supervised play, but I also had my dog professionally- trained for over a year so that he could be around other dogs in a variety of settings. The training was just as much for me as it was for Bruno!
“Miriam was able to take Riley at a quick notice which was great for us! She sent us pictures and also updated us when needed. I would recommend her for sure!”
About: I am a dog owner and animal lover. Care, safety and attention to detail are top of mind for me. I look forward to getting the chance to spoil your dog like they are my own! Pet care is an essential part of my daily routine, ensuring the dogs in my care receive exactly what they need to have a great day and thrive! I have a large yard. I offer on leash potty breaks and walks multiple times a day since my yard is not fenced in. Inside I have two friendly and excited dogs who love to snuggle, play, and are happy to share their toys!
“Thank you for taking such good care of my penny!!”
About: I’ve had and have taken care of pets since I was 14. I know the protocols when it comes to taking care of animals and making sure they’re safe. I have experience in bathing, feeding, and walking pets such as cats and dogs. Also, in my family I was always the person everyone could count on when it came down to who watches the animals. Currently I don’t own any pets so its not in my daily rotation. But, if I did have a pet I would make sure there was a morning and night routine that I follow and on days that I work I would make sure a trusted friend could watch my pet for me. In the previous years when I did have pets I made sure they were on a feeding and walking schedule, also playtime is just as important! I ask the owner if there are any specific things I need to be aware of regarding the animal such as; if the pet needs to be washed, what gets them rowdy, what commands they know, and ask if the pet has a schedule and if so what that schedule is. I also make sure before I have to take care of the pet that small lower level things are put away that the pets cannot reach to try and eat. When in my care I make sure to walk, feed, bathe, and play with them as needed. (Also, if the owner would like for me to bathe their pet then the required soaps and brush would need to be provided).
About: I have been taking care of neighbors dogs since I was a teenager, and grew up with multiple dogs. I also have a mini labradoodle named Duncan who loves other dogs! I work from home Mon, Tue, Thu & Fri. On Wednesday’s I am in the office. I am available for dog walks M, T, Th, F during lunch & anytime on the weekends. Also available for boarding and would be home with the exception of Wednesdays when I’m in the office for 8 hours. I have a dog who goes outside throughout the day, and gets a walk or run daily. I can play fetch with any dog, my dog loves it. Dogs are allowed on couches and beds in my home. If your is not potty trained I have a crate.
About: Lover of animals. Cat mom Of 3. I have always been around dogs. No issues with cleaning up after, play time, dog walks and oral medication. Currently unemployed and very open availability. Outside of some typical personal things weekly a lot of flexibility to care for your pet/pets! No issues with weekends Living in 2nd floor of a duplex so a bit difficult for cats to escape!

About: I have been babysitting people's sweet fur-children through Rover for several years. I’ve cared for my own, and many neighbors' pets for a decade- all types, shapes, and sizes! I am a former Wildland Firefighter and a First Responder, currently doing part-time volunteer work only, so I have great time and availability to meet all of your pet’s needs! My schedule is fairly flexible and allows me to be available almost all days and times. I am also well-experienced with and trained for emergency situations, so your pet is safe with me! My daily routine is centered around pet care, as I strive to provide the best service and most convenience possible. This is my main focus! I live in an apartment, but with an indoor and an outdoor dog park. There is plenty of room to lounge on the sofa bed and cuddle! There are also great walks, hikes, and short drives if your dog is into that!
