“Halie is an exceptional person and sitter!! We are so appreciative of her kindness to our 4 rescue cats. They all loved her and that’s saying a lot as one of our babies is super duper skittish. Cat moms and dads- totally book with Halie! So grateful for her and so happy to have the peace of mind that comes with complete trust of your fur babies when you go out of town!! 10/10!! Thank you so much Halie!!!!”
“Janet is terrific! She is reliable, professional, and great with my dog, Sunny. I have complete peace of mind knowing Janet is taking care of my dog. I highly recommend her services.”
“Octavia saved us with a no-notice booking after one of our boys decided he would rather chase snowflakes instead of going "potty' before we had to leave for work lol. She was prompt with her response and was incredibly flexible. The boys also love her!”
“Sierra was so amazing with our pets!!! She was the first sitter we ever hired to watch our animals, and I’m so glad that she made our first experience on rover a good one. I was so worried about my cats getting out until I met her, but she was willing to do a meet and greet before hand and she sent me so many cute pictures of them during our time away! I’m so sad that she won’t be in my area anymore 😭 to whoever books her next, your babies are in good hands!!!”
“Isabella was fantastic taking care of our pets. Despite some challenges from one of our dogs, she was able to keep them happy and healthy throughtout our trip. She kept us well informed of issues when they arose. Overall, when we returned home it was like we never left!”
About: Does your dog like nature walks or is it more of a structured walk play type of animal? I can provide both. We can take long walks outdoors or we can find an area that is more city like and spend some time walking around. I have over 20 years experience caring for dogs. I have kids and treat my pets like my children they will be very loved. I have an open schedule I can work from 6am to at least 9 pm. I do not have a preference on the type of dog as I have owned from toy to giant and can handle them without any problems. We will play catch, run, and will provide obedience training at owners request.Will provide toys. DOES NOT PROVIDE CAT SERVICES HIGHLY ALLERGIC!!! I am currently self employed so I can provide all the love to your pups, right now I have a lot of love to give your baby. I do currently offer overnight services. If client wants dog to play in their personal yard I will follow the direction provided by the owner.
“Mary was very easy to work with on very short notice! She was prompt and professional in communicating and the dogs had a great time! I will definitely keep her in mind for the future. Thanks again!”
About: I’ve had dogs since forever, I love mine more than anything. My experiences dog sitting and cat sitting range from my neighbors and family to taking care of animals on my uncles farm. I love meeting people’s pets so it would be my pleasure to meet more!! My dog Ruby is 15 years old and I love her to death, I can’t imagine her being alone all day. I go to college full time at Cleveland State University. I do play in multiple orchestras as well, but although I’m busy I have time in between classes and in the afternoons/evenings that I struggle to fill! I would love to have a slow morning taking care of a pet, or going on a walk, so I am very flexible. I understand that all pets have their own personality, and honestly the best way to take care of them relies on me getting to know them. The quirks about pets are my favorite thing about them, and I am willing to work with any needs they have. I love spending time with any animal and making sure they feel loved and entertained.
About: I am an experienced dog walker and pre-covid ran a successful in-home dog daycare for 5 years. I have experience working with breeds of all sizes, from your tiny papillon to your huge Great Dane. I’d love the opportunity to walk your dog and/or visit them at home for some social interaction during the day. If you have any questions, I’m here to answer them! I have a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs. Since I work part-time, I have ample availability throughout the week, including weekends. This means I can easily adapt to your pet’s routine, whether you need regular dog walking or drop-in visits. I’m committed to providing reliable and convenient services to ensure your pets are well taken care of whenever you need assistance. When caring for your pet at your home, my priority is to create a comfortable and familiar environment for them. I’ll ensure they receive plenty of attention, playtime, and exercise while following their routine. For dog walking, I focus on providing an enjoyable and safe experience, adapting to your dog’s energy level and preferences. Whether it’s leisurely strolls or more vigorous adventures, I’m dedicated to keeping your furry friend happy and healthy. Regular updates and communication will keep you informed about how your pet is doing while you’re away.
About: I currently have a Labrador Retriever and a cat, and before them I raised a golden retriever who lived to 11. I’m close to the MetroParks, so even without a fenced yard there’s plenty of opportunity for long walks and fresh air. I believe a calm dog is a happy, well‑behaved dog, and I make sure every pup gets the exercise and attention they need. I know it can be stressful leaving your dog in a new environment. My goal is to put your mind at ease so you can fully enjoy your vacation or event. I’ll send regular updates and photos so you always know how your pup is doing. I’m dedicated to making animals feel at home—just like I hope for my own pets when I’m away. I work from home three days a week, which gives me plenty of flexibility for walks and attention throughout the day when the weather is nice. I’m also home on weekends, so your pets will have consistent company and care. I have a friendly dog and cat to keep your fur baby company. I can crate your dog easily if needed. I am in an apartment, but there’s convenient side walks and paths for taking bathroom breaks multiple times per day.
About: Pets are family, and I know how important it is to have someone you can genuinely trust caring for them while you’re away. My goal is to give your pets the same patience, attention, and affection I would want someone to give my own. They all have their own personality, routine, favorite things, and little quirks. I’ll take the time to get to know yours. Your pets are part of your family. When they’re in my care, I’ll treat them like they’re part of mine too. I will always do my best to be available whenever your pet needs some lovin’. Days, nights or weekends! Just let me know what can make this a no-stress experience for you and your fur-baby. I won’t just stop by, check off a list, and leave. I want your pets to look forward to seeing me. That means taking the time to play with them, give them attention, learn what they enjoy, and make sure they feel safe and cared for while their family is away. I also understand how hard it can be to leave a member of your family in someone else’s care. You can expect regular updates and photos so you know how they’re doing and can have some peace of mind while you’re away.

“Brianna surpassed our expectations from day 1! She was very responsive and communicated with us every step of the way. She took excellent care of Hobbes and sent us details about her time with him. We would highly recommend Brianna. You can trust that she will care for your pets as though they were her own.”
About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats. Since 2008, I've volunteered at a local animal shelter, walking dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I've also provided trusted dog sitting for family and friends over the years, treating every pet like they're part of my own family. I'm passionate about animal welfare and believe every pet deserves patience, kindness, and lots of love. Whether it's a walk, a drop-in visit, or overnight care, I'll make sure your furry family member feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I have a fenced-in yard and two friendly dogs who are very calm to keep your pup company also. My husband works from home and I too am home mostly. It will be very rare when your pup is left alone in our house and if it is the case I am comfortable crating or leaving your pup to have the run of the house if that is what you would prefer. I have a neighborhood filled with sidewalks where many, many dogs walk so the sniffing is a must! I have a fenced-in yard and two friendly dogs who are very calm to keep your pup company also.

I love to play with dogs. Dogs give me a since of joy and calmness because I know when they are taken care of they trust me. I make sure that dogs retrieve the right nutrients that they will need as requested by the dogs owner. Dogs are my best friends. Safe!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 8 years old. At that time, we got a standard poodle puppy (Inspector Gadget) who I fed, walked, played with, and let out before/after school everyday. When he was about 3, we also got a springer spaniel (Sookie) from the shelter who was an absolute angel, and mine and Gadget’s best friend. I always made sure they had what they needed and felt loved! I took care of Gadget until he sadly passed at the age of 14, and Sookie until she passed at the age of 10, so I have experience with elderly dogs as well. My mom recently got a golden retriever puppy who I would visit to walk, feed, and play with occasionally while she is at work. I also have experience with birds and cats. I am currently working as a resident at one of the local hospitals, so my schedule is variable, but by booking me you know that you will get a trusted professional to care for your pets. I am free every other weekend to care for pets, and am generally free in the evenings of weekdays. I have no problem showing any pet love, regardless of size or breed, and will make sure they get the attention and love they need! I am used to big and mid-sized dogs since that’s what I grew up with, so walking large dogs will not be a problem. I am familiar with standard training practices for dogs as well and will adhere to any specific instructions.
About: I am a current student at the Ohio State university as an animal science and vet technician student. I have always had a passion for taking care of animals and ensure to extend the same care that I have for the animals I treat with your pets! I have worked with small companion animals numerous times as well as large animals so my skills are varied to work with changing circumstances! I also have experience with working with older dogs as I had an older dog for a long time. I am college student attending summer classes so I do have a time confinement in the mornings of some weekdays but I am free for weekends, afternoons, and evenings! A flexible schedule that can work for everyone and ensure comfort for your pet! I have a small unfenced front and backyard in a small, quiet neighborhood. I do not have any other animals in my home so I will ensure the comfortability and safety of your dog(s). I can easily crate your dog if needed as well.
