Sharon did an excellent job watching my cats over the Thanksgiving holiday while I was out of town. The cats loved her and the literbox and food was well taken care of.

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover and currently have two dogs and two cats of my own, so caring for pets is part of my everyday life. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your fur babies because I would only want the absolute best care for mine. I have experience with dogs of different sizes, ages, and energy levels. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, administering basic medications, walks, crate routines, playtime, and of course plenty of cuddles. Living with both dogs and cats has also helped me become very attentive to animal behavior and body language, which allows me to keep pets safe, calm, and happy in my care. I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure owners feel comfortable with regular updates and photos. My goal is always to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment while you’re away. Pet care is already a big part of my daily life since I have two dogs and two cats of my own. My day naturally revolves around feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and making sure my pets are happy and comfortable. I do work full time, but my job is very flexible. When I’m booked for pet sitting, I’m able to adjust my schedule or take time off to make sure I can fully focus on the pets in my care. I prioritize reliability and planning so every pet gets the attention and consistency they deserve. My home is clean, pet-safe, and thoughtfully set up to create a calm environment. I remove any hazards, keep floors clear, secure doors and gates, and ensure all pets are supervised at all times. I follow each pet’s routine closely — including feeding schedules, medication needs, exercise, and playtime — so they feel right at home. I understand how important trust is when it comes to your furry family members. I pride myself on being reliable, responsible, and communicative. I provide regular updates, photos, and quick responses so you always know how your pet is doing. Whether your pet loves active play, cozy naps, or extra cuddles, I tailor my care to their personality and needs. My goal is simple: to give you peace of mind and your pet a safe, loving home away from home.

About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, dogs, cats, and parrots were always members of the family. I also spent two years working at a pet hotel, caring for dogs of all ages, temperaments, and needs, including senior, sick, and reactive dogs. I adopted my own dog, Montgomery, when he was six years old, and he’s been my best friend ever since. We enjoy walks, car rides, and the occasional treat run. I have a fenced-in backyard and provide a safe, loving environment where your pet will be treated like family. Whether your dog prefers playtime, cuddles, or a quiet place to relax, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I work from home full-time, which allows me to provide plenty of supervision, attention, and potty breaks throughout the day. Pet care is already a part of my daily routine with my own dog, Montgomery, so caring for your pet will fit naturally into my schedule. Whether your dog enjoys playtime, walks, or simply having someone nearby, they’ll have company and care throughout the day. I have a fenced-in backyard and work from home, allowing me to provide plenty of supervision, attention, and outdoor time. I’ll follow your pet’s routine and treat them like family.

About: Hello! My name is Kelsey and I’m a 28 year old active CT technologist in the Elyria Area. I’ve had dogs my entire life and have helped caring for each of them. I’ve owned four Medium-XL rescue pups so far as well as a bearded dragon! I’m comfortable with any size or breed as I’ve helped care for chihuahuas up to Mastiffs. If you think I’d be a good fit for your pup I’d love to meet them! I’ve also helped care for cats as well and have House sat for others to take care of both dogs and cats. I love all furry friends and would be more than happy to meet and care for yours. I work second shift in the hospital setting and have availability until about 12 pm to care for all the fur babies. I like to start my mornings with a walk with my two pittie mixes and would love to fit yours into that routine as well! It’s important to know the animal(s) you’re working with and what their comfort level is. It’s my job taking care of them to keep them safe and fulfilled.

About: I’ve owned and taken care of dogs and cats for most of my life. My life has been enriched by caring for kittens, puppies, adults, and seniors. I’ve given pills and eye drops to both cats and dogs. I love playing with cats and dogs and seeing them happy! It would be an honor to care for your pet. I’m the owner/operator of a new pet transportation business and have taken care of puppies during 200+ mile trips. This includes giving them water and food, cleaning them and their crate up (if they got carsick ☹️), sitting with them on breaks while they roamed the back of my SUV, and snuggles. I am excited to take care of fur babies at your home or mine! I have two cats of my own, a calico (7 yrs old) and a Siamese mix (6 yrs old), and they are amazing! 😻 I have a fenced in backyard and swimming pool (which can also be fenced off if desired by pet parent). I can feed, water, do short walks, and give medicine or eye drops (to compliant pets). I have 2 cats and am happy to provide care to cat friendly dogs at my home or I can come to yours. I’m available M-F 8-4 and for overnight stays.

About: I’ve got a large fenced in yard and two boys (dogs) that love to play. In the summer there will be a shallow dog pool to cool off in as well. My goldendoodle frequently will lay in it. Plenty of toys/stimulation. My dogs enjoy playing with puppies but also do really well with older/senior dogs. Plenty of bathroom breaks and attention as I am home full time. I’m also available for drop-ins, walks, and giving meds with food if needed. I am home full time and can work with your current daily or weekly routine. I start my day at 5am and don't stop until around 9-10pm. I have a large fenced in yard and two male (neutered) dogs of my own! Small shallow dog pool when the weather is nice. Dogs are fed in separate rooms. Lounging on the couch chairs is absolutely acceptable here!
