“Kristi is the exact kind of person you want to look after your pets. She gives great daily updates and sends awesome pictures of happy pets. She cleans up well (wouldn’t know she was even here!) and offered me some great advice I was looking for! 10/10 will book again.”

“Colleen was fantastic! She was very attentive to my dog’s needs and provided me with tons of pics, videos, and detailed notes about her visits. She treated my dog like he was one of her own and made him feel loved and taken care of while we were away. Will definitley be using her again in the future! 5 stars!”

About: I love dogs and cats, I am a big animal fan and have always been. i enjoy going on walks and being super active.I am saving up for my dream dog a shiba inu for the future when I get my own place to call home. id love to enjoy having the experience of lightening up you and your furry friends day! I am currently working on a school so through out the day I would like some outside time to enjoy the weather or just help get energy out. I have 2 cats i love dearly and i am a very visual person. I can sometimes pickup when something is wrong or notice specific signs.

About: I’ve loved and helped watch/take care of dogs since I was little. My family grew up with dogs and I have helped friends/family/neighbors watch and care for their dogs for as long as I can remember. I do work full time, however I am home on weekends as well as early evening to help assist in any way that I can! I have a backyard which is about to be fully fenced in. I live in a very safe neighborhood which is perfect for walks! Also have ample room in my home for animals to roam/make themselves at home. Would also crate in my home as well if needed.

About: I first discovered what it meant to truly love a dog while growing up with my beloved labradoodle, Charley, who was part of my life for 15 years. After he passed, I wanted to continue sharing that love with other dogs, which led me to volunteer as a dog handler and walker at City Dogs. At the shelter, I regularly take dogs on walks, runs, hikes, and special outings, and I’ve also had the opportunity to foster. This experience has taught me how to safely and compassionately care for dogs with a wide range of personalities and needs—especially bully breeds, who are often misunderstood and come from backgrounds of abuse or neglect. Working with these dogs has helped me develop patience, strong handling skills, and an understanding of how to build trust with animals who may be fearful or unsure. I prioritize being a calm, safe, and reliable person for every dog I care for, and I love helping them experience what it feels like to be treated with kindness, love, and respect. I’m currently a graduate student pursuing my master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I work an internship part-time 3 days a week, so I would love to spend my days off with your pups! I provide attentive, reliable care whether I’m walking your dog or caring for them in your home. My experience with City Dogs has taught me how to handle dogs with a wide range of personalities, energy levels, and needs. I’m comfortable walking strong pullers, shy dogs, and high-energy pups who need extra exercise. During walks, I prioritize keeping dogs safe and happy. I always make sure collars and harnesses are secure, avoid unsafe situations, and adjust the pace and length of the walk to fit each dog’s comfort level. I’m also happy to send photo updates so you can feel confident your pet is safe and having a great time. Volunteering ant City Dogs has taught me how important patience and gentle handling are, especially for dogs who may be nervous or adjusting to new people. My goal is always to make every pet feel comfortable, cared for, and excited for their next walk.

“Elizabeth did a fantastic job looking after my cat, Murphy, while I was out of town! She sent regular updates and was very easy to communicate with. Recommend 10/10!”

About: I started fostering dogs in grad school, where I was an active member of the local APL and formed an advocacy group to create and sustain the local dog park (an abandoned baseball field that we turned into a puppy paradise). On my foster journey, I quickly became the cliche and officially adopted my dog of 14 years, Rufio, after only a few hours. I found Ruf--a Rottweiler/shepherd mix--wandering down by the river, and we were best buds by dinnertime. Over the years, I continued to foster dogs and Ruf and I loved sharing our home with a revolving cast of characters. Sadly, Rufio passed away this past year, but the love is still there, and my partner, Hannah, and I are thrilled to fill our days with doggos. After 13 years in the corporate world--during which I became one of the youngest executives at a local Fortune 500 company, leading three teams totaling over 40 employees--I've decided to pivot back to my passions. I've never been happier than when I spent my days fostering dogs, so pet care has my full attention! I have a fenced in yard and I live a hop and a skip from a number of parks, including Lakewood Park, Webb Park, and the Rocky River Reservation (and dog park)! I'm very active, and I love taking pups around town (or simply hanging out, for our elder statesmen).

“Payton did a great job with my cat and was very professional and responsive. I'd love to work with her again!”

About: Adult cat owner for a year and a lifetime of pet care and sitting experience. I work remotely in communications and marketing, so I have open availability and am very flexible with my time and attention. I’ve been an in-house sitter and dog walker for many friends over the last several years and have lots of experience with senior pets and anxious dogs. I work from home, fully remote, so I’m very flexible! Most of my job involves on-screen virtual meetings, writing and phone interviews so I’m happy to break up my day with walks, cuddles, snuggles and play time! I have an indoor-only cat who loves playtime and cuddling, but I also have experience sitting for anxious dogs and senior pets. I’m patient, calm and caring, and happy to sit with them, walk them or play indoor and outdoor.

About: Hello! Nice to meet you, I'm Nick. I offer comprehensive pet care, backed by my lifelong experience growing up with both cats and dogs. I've cared for a variety of breeds, from Great Danes and German Shepherds to miniature poodles and tabby cats. My partner and I currently have two cats of our own, Calcifer and Ponyo, whom we’ve lovingly cared for over the past seven years. I’m dedicated to providing attentive and personalized care for every pet I look after. Some of my favorite hobbies include trying out the local coffee shops, traveling, and catching a show with friends. I currently work fully remote, so I tend to set my own schedule making it very flexible to give your pet the attention they need. I am always attentive and mindful to any animal in my care. It is important to me that your pet is getting the attention they deserve while in my care.

“We are so lucky to have found Regina to watch our cats when we are away. She is beyond amazing with them, we sometimes think they like you more than us!!”

“Hannah is very good with my animals. She lives conveniently close to me too. We are lucky she is our rover!! Would recommend!”

About: I grew up with both a dog and a cat, so I’ve had plenty of hands-on experience caring for pets of different personalities and needs. I know how important daily walks are for a dog’s happiness and health, and I love spending time outdoors with furry friends—whether it’s a quick stroll around the block or a longer adventure. I’m also comfortable with drop-in visits, providing pets with fresh water, meals, playtime, and lots of love when their owners can’t be there. I treat every pet like my own- I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for when you’re away!! I'm available in the Mon-Thurs evenings starting at 5:30 p.m. Fridays I am available after 12 pm and weekends are variable, so please message for availability! I can be flexible. I am happy to do walks and drop ins and can be flexible to whatever routine works best for your pet's care! I am available to do overnights at my home for smaller pets, so please message if interested.

“Lexi took care of our cat, Scarlet, while we were out of town. She dropped in two times per day for about 10 days to feed Scarlet & clean her litter box. It was great to know that our kitty was well taken care of while we were away!”
