“We continue to use Rachel to drop in on our animals while on vacation. She takes wonderful care of our 2 dogs and 2 cats and sends lots of updates and pictures. Thanks again Rachel!!”


About: We have each had dogs our entire lives. We currently have husky who is 1 1/2 years old and a 2 year old mini Australian Shepherd. They are both rescues. They are playful and enjoy being around other dogs. Free for plenty of walks and playtime during the day. I work from home with a very flexible schedule and will be able to keep a good eye on your dog. We have a pet friendly home inside and out. Our yard is fenced in. We have dog toys and balls all over. The dogs get plenty of exercise throughout the day.

About: With nearly 20 years of experience with animals, my love for animals is unmatched, and I bring the same joyful, loyal energy as a golden retriever. Your pup will be in caring, compassionate hands- loved, protected, and treated like family every step of the way. I'm currently taking a sabbatical after leaving my job of 8 years, which means I have plenty of time and flexibility in my schedule to care for your furry best friend. Whether it's a walk, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company, I’m available and happy to help give them the attention and care they deserve throughout the day. Your pup will be treated like family in a clean, smoke free home nestled on 70 acres. The property includes fenced-in areas for safe play and scenic trails leading to the Chagrin River- perfect for outdoor adventures. Small and medium crates are available if that’s part of your dog’s daily routine. If caring for your pet your pet in your home, you can rest assured I’ll treat your space with the utmost respect-just as I would my own- and always honor your boundries.

About: Any time a friend or a neighbor goes out of town or needs help, I'm the first one they call. I love spending time with animals and making sure they are happy, healthy and their needs are met! I love working with all ages. I’ve been around dogs and cats for pretty much my whole life. But I have a love for all animals! I know it can sometimes be hard to leave your furry loved ones with a stranger, but I can promise you I will treat them like my own! They’re in good hands(: I'm currently working a 9-5, but looking for something to keep me busy before and after work! (and weekends when I'm off work as well) I'm very passionate about working with animals I’m super flexible with everything so if you have any concerns, reach out to me and I’m sure we can figure it out! I have two friendly cats who love to play and get along with all animals! They also don't mind hanging out in the basement if need be. I've got a large area indoors and outdoors to keep your pet busy or they can relax on the couch!

About: Hi! I’m a responsible and loving pet sitter with a flexible schedule. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and energy levels. I have experience taking care of blind/deaf dogs from young to old and I treat every pet like family. Whether your pet needs playtime, a walk, or just company, I’m here to help! I'm in grad school and most of my classes are online or a few hours in the evening 1-2x a week. I have the freedom to hang out or drop in every few hours, whichever works best for your pet. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize safety, trust, and maintaining the pet’s normal routine. I take time to understand each pet’s needs, habits, and personality to make sure they feel comfortable and secure while their owner is away. I treat the home with the same respect I’d expect in return - following instructions closely, keeping things clean, and ensuring doors, gates, and feeding routines are handled properly. My goal is to make the transition as smooth as possible for both pets and their people.

“Olivia is amazing!! I was on my way back from vacation and a friend had been watching my dog but left my house that morning. Well my flight got delayed due to weather and I needed help fast since my poor pup had been alone for hours! I reached out to a few sitters that unfortunately couldn’t take a last minute booking but Olivia responded promptly and said she could be there in an hour!! She advised me that my pup had been sick and had threw up on my new carpet. Well when I got home I was so happy to see she cleaned it and there was no sign of a stain! I will use her again AND recommend her to my friends!”


About: I offer comprehensive pet care services backed by a lifetime of experience with diverse animals, from small rodents to large breeds like my Irish wolfhound. Having had cats since I was 10, I'm skilled in managing multiple pets, including reptiles like my tortoise and various birds. I'm comfortable walking dogs of all sizes and have a proven record of reliable pet-sitting, ensuring their animals are well-fed, cared for, and happy. As a pet sitter with a weekday job from 6:30 AM to 2:30 PM, I ensure your pets are well-cared for by providing a morning visit before work for feeding, fresh water, and a quick walk or playtime. During my workday, I can arrange a midday visit. After work, I dedicate my time to your pets, offering walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of cuddles. Weekends are fully devoted to providing extra care, including longer walks, park visits, and any specific grooming or playtime activities your pets enjoy. When caring for pets in a client's home, safety, trust, and a comfortable environment are my top priorities. I begin by thoroughly understanding each pet's specific needs, routines, and any medical conditions. I ensure the home is pet-proofed and free of hazards, and I strictly adhere to the owner's instructions regarding feeding, medication, and exercise. Building trust involves gentle interactions, consistent routines, and positive reinforcement. For overnight stays, I maintain a calm and secure atmosphere, respecting the pet's usual sleeping arrangements and providing companionship. During dog walks, I use a secure leash, remain vigilant of the surroundings, and follow the owner's preferred walking routes and commands, always prioritizing the pets safety and well-being.

About: I love taking care of pups and playing & walking with them. I've been a dog mom for 4 yrs now and before that had a roommate with dog for a couple of years that I loved taking care of. I love to stay active and walking my dog is one of my favorite every day activities! I have a very loving and playful 4yr old, 120lb Bernese Mountain Dog who loooves other doggies and people too. I take my dog on daily walks for at least 20 minutes so your dog will definitely be getting some exercise, unless otherwise specified. I feed twice a day, morning and evening. Please let me know your dog's eating schedule and I can be sure to accommodate. My dog is super friendly and playful and would keep your pet company and tire them out.If your doggy needs crated or any special accommodations please let me know!

“Whitney is great with my dogs. We use her for every single trip and trust that she will take the best care of our pups. She’s also good with administering medications as my older dog is on a few different ones. Highly recommend.”

About: I first began dog sitting and training through a service dog program. I quickly fell in love with working with dogs and taking them out on daily adventures. I primarily watch dogs on a day to day basis but have also boarded some furry friends as well. I’ve worked with male and female dogs ages as young as 3 months. I love medium and large breed dogs and have lots of experience handling them. I am currently a college student. Around school I love to hang out with dogs and get some play time in. I primarily watch dogs over the summer months. I have an unfenced yard at my house as well as a female great dane.

I also am comfortable with giving any medications or extra care that your pet may need.

Ever since losing them, I’ve been doing my best to fill that void & satisfy my love for animals through pet sitting for friends, family & the like. I am in somewhat of a transitional period of my life, thus am not in the place to adopt a pet of my own. However, that means that I have so much love to provide to your pets in the meantime :) I work remotely & my schedule is usually very flexible, with that being said, I will try and work with you for whatever your scheduling needs are! I will ensure that your pet receives the utmost care and attention that they need and deserve by adapting to any and all specific requests or requirements to make both you, and your fur baby, as comfortable as possible.
