We’re fortunate to work from home, which means your dog will have constant companionship. If I ever need to step out, your furry friend will be crated.

Safety, trust & environment
My wife (Marcelle) and I live in a welcoming house in a quiet neighborhood, just a short walk from the Cleveland Clinic Main Campus and 20 minutes from UH. We're also close to Wade Oval, Case Western Reserve, Playhouse Square, CSU, Museums, and Theater Districts. Your pup will love our large, securely fenced backyard – perfect for safe playtime and stretching their legs. I provide worry-free pet sitting for those visiting from out of town and traveling with pets. You can relax and enjoy yourself at your wedding, vacation, convention, or other event while in Greater Cleveland. We want to reassure you that we can accommodate you by keeping your pet completely separated from any other pets during her/his/their stay. We operate a dedicated pet care space with secure, individual crates, and we have a fully fenced yard where your dog can enjoy solo playtime. For those interested in an exclusive stay: We typically host up to eight dogs at a time. Since the current standard rate is $50 per dog per day, we normally operate at a capacity. We can certainly keep the house limited to just your dogs if you’d like with the buyout rate of $300 per day to cover the other spots we’d be turning away. Otherwise, if you're comfortable with them being part of the group, they are more than welcome to join the pack! My home is a social, multi-dog environment which is usually a lot of fun for friendly pups. Nevertheless, when necessary, we have the space to keep the dogs separated. Feel free to schedule a Meet & Greet. This is the best way to see how your dogs handle the space and ensure it's a good fit for everyone before your trip.

Information Clifford H. would like to know about your pet
Please tell me about: Potty time: Can your dog hold their potty for 4-8 hours? Separation Anxiety: Does your dog whine or bark for extended periods of time if no human is in sight?

Potty breaks: Your dog must be able to hold their potty for 4-8 hours. The humans must sleep. **$100 per day additional charge if your dog is unable to hold their potty for 4-8 hours or if your dog has severe anxiety and requires a human in their presence to sleep at night.

Pet care experience
My life has always been enriched by animals! From gerbils and hamsters to frogs, turtles, fish, and rabbits, I've had a wide variety of beloved pets. I even seem to be a magnet for stray dogs – they always find their way to me! We had 2 recent furry family members - Miss Chewbacca (Chewie) and Worf. Both were rescues and lived to become wonderful senior dogs (15 & 14). I understand the special attention and love they need. Also, please note that I offer pick-up and drop-off services within Cuyahoga County for $50 round-trip fee. If outside of Cuyahoga County, please get in touch with me to discuss
Reviews
clifford & his family were amazing! super communicative from the jump and made leaving my dog with them a super smooth process. could not recommend them enough, 10/10 service all around.
Amazing people! They watched my dog and sent amazing pictures. You can definately tell that my dog was as happy as he can be. Will definately be using them in the future!
Clifford and Marci were absolutely amazing with Dakota. It was her first time being away from us and she did great thanks to them making her feel right at home. I had no worries about leaving her with them once we left the meet and greet. Again nothing short of AMAZING!
I needed someone to watch Chester last minute and Clifford was very accommodating. Allowing us to stop by before the stay to make sure it was a good fit for Chester. He sent frequent updates, and Chester seemed to really enjoy his stay. Highly recommend him!
