“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog-sitter than Steffani! From the meet-and-greet to the moment our dogs arrived at her home, we knew they were in wonderful hands. Steffani went above and beyond, sending us photos, videos, and detailed updates that kept our minds at ease while we were out of the country. It was such a comfort to see them happy and settled and playing in her yard. She truly treated them like her own, and we could tell they felt right at home. We’ll definitely be rebooking with Steffani for all our future dog-sitting needs!”


“Swetha and her family took amazing care of Omar! They truly treated him like part of their family. They sent us so many photos of Omar enjoying his time with them and clearly doted on him during his stay. Omar already misses them! We will definitely be coming back to them again next time we need a dog sitter for Omar.”


“Our family had just relocated from Texas recently, and I was worried about our shepherd being away from us again thinking he may have separation anxiety from the move and being away from us during his transport. Alison was nothing short of amazing with him. He felt comfortable with her family and other pups, and I got pictures and updates, even a Christmas card with treats when we picked him up. It's hard to find genuine people, and that's so important in a sitter of any kind. I've said this a million times over, but thank you Alison for taking good care of Pie. We'll be sticking with her going forward. :)”


“Victoria is a great dog sitter! My dogs loved staying at her house. Victoria is very professional and accommodating. She sent us several pictures and updates on the dogs well being, which my wife loved! I would highly recommend Victoria and I will be using her services again!”


“We absolutely loved Tina an Rick. I felt like my dog(Milo) was very well taken cared for and in loving hands. We received daily updates that included pictures or videos. We also had an emergency and had to extend his stay and they were very accommodating. I also loved how they included at the end of his stay a little report of how his stay was. I will definitely use them again as i felt like they really treated my baby as they would their own dog.”


“Stephanie was great with my boys! They came home clean and happy. She was very accommodating and communicative. I would recommend her and will definitely use her again!”

“Sharon provided an excellent experience while I was away on vacation. She took Maizey with less than a day’s notice for a week and kept me updated with videos and messages throughout the trip. Would definitely book with her again! ?”


“I can’t begin to say enough about Lynn. With just moving to Cleveland and not knowing anyone here, it was hard for me to leave my 15yr old Pomeranian Walter with a stranger. He had only a handful of people I would leave him with back home and with all of his health issues I was concerned of his needs being met. Lynn went above and beyond her call of duty as a sitter. Sending messages, pictures and updates every day. This made my vacation 10 times more relaxing knowing he was well taken care of like he was one of hers. Thank you so much Lynn!”


“Summer was perfect, from her communication to professionalism to just being completely understanding of dogs and pet parents. I was comfortable with my decision from start to finish. She asked questions if she wasn’t sure and left me tons of videos and photos to keep me updated. She has been my favorite and I will be using her services again (most likely only her lol, thanks Rover)”


“I couldn’t thank enough Eric. We moved from Kentucky to Cleveland and It was so hard for me to leave Miley to another dog sitter. I appreciate that he took a time for a meet & greet and after that I am comfortable leaving my girl. Miley was in good hands while we were away for 4days. He treated my dog Miley like his own, caring, responsive, sends update and lots of pictures. Miley had a great experience with them and with Lucius. Highly recommend Eric & Polly and will definitely book with them again 🤍”


“Two happy dogs! Our Lola and Frankie love being at Leonard’s home, and we love knowing how well cared for they are there! Leonard and his family treat our dogs as if they are family, and we are grateful!”


“Karlee was an amazing sitter! She took excellent care of my pup and sent lots of pictures throughout the weekend. She was very communicative and did such a great job with Topo!”


“Sarah was the best sitter we’ve had- so glad we found her. She sent daily pictures and videos of her playing and walking our pup. He really enjoyed the backyard. She was very attentive to him, we were relieved to know he was in good hands. Sarah was also very understanding and flexible with travel times. Will definitely be using her next time we go out of town.”


“Jordan was great! Loki was a little nervous at first, Jordan let me know and we were able to calm him down for the night. Jordan is a very thoughtful and caring person and Loki enjoyed his stay!”


“Nancy was a great sitter for Roscoe and seemed to enjoy his company as much as he enjoyed hers! She sent pictures and updates throughout the week and was responsive the entire time”


“Kristin was awesome! I met her daughters and husband durning the meet and greet. Everyone loved my dog and felt very comfortable leaving him while I was on vacation. Kristin took very well care of my dog and even bought him extra goodies. I would recommend Kristin to anyone and I will use her again.”
