House Sitting in Mentor-on-the-Lake

“Not sure what we would do without Martin but hope we never have to find out, he just does such a great job of taking care of our Adira every time.”

“Anthony was great. Allowing someone access to our home and our dogs was something we’ve never done before, Anthony made the entire process a breeze and settled our worries right away. We set up a meet and greet, he was punctual, outgoing, and friendly.. our 2 German shepherds are normally a little weary of strangers, but they welcomed him right away. Anthony and his wife were so thorough with updates, pictures, etc. We scheduled with him for in-home boarding at our home, he visited with them more times than I expected, he walked them both days too. He cared for our dogs as if they were his own. We will definitely be scheduling with Anthony again in the future.”

“Julia took the best care of Khloe, our aging lab. She left our home, just the way she found it. We will definitely call on her again when we are going out of town. Couldn't be happier with her.”

“Whitney watched our older dog for about a week when we were on a family vacation. We were very nervous due to Millie's age and health. Whitney was amazing, checked in regularly, gave Millie her medicine, and accommodated our less then ideal flight schedule. We would absolutely ask Whitney to watch our home and Millie again.”

About: I have taken care of pets since I was a kid. From my own pets, to family members' and neighbors' pets. I do have an AS degree in Animal Health and before college I was a dog groomer. I enjoy making furry friends. I am currently work remotely for myself. Therefore, I have plenty of time to play with and care for your pets. I am available anytime. When caring for your pets in your home, I will stick to their regular routines and schedules, while providing them some extra time and attention.

“Katrina did a great job! She communicated with me the whole time and sent photos. We came home to a happy dog. We would definitely use her again.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid, and now I have my own 2 adopted mutts (and my 2 fur nephews). I grew up on a farm, so I’m pretty confident with animals, but if you have any concerns or special needs I’m happy to discuss or schedule a meet and greet! I work full time remotely, but have primary duties in the afternoon and evenings, so I’m almost always free for a midday stroll or potty break! At our house there are 4 dogs and lots of kids running in and out, but if your pup is okay with that there’s a huge back yard with a tether, or a neighborhood with sidewalks for walks if that’s more their speed. At your house, I follow your rules! I love to know your dogs favorite spots and which houses are “behind enemy lines.” I’m 6’4 and my hound is quite the rhinoceros, so I can walk the best of them!

About: I’ve owned and cared for my own dogs for over 25 years, all of them rescues. I have a deep love for animals and a soft spot for those in need. My pets have always been part of the family, and I’m known for spoiling them with love, attention, and treats (within reason!). I’ve nursed several of my dogs through illnesses, always going the extra mile to make them feel safe and cared for. I bring that same level of compassion and commitment to every pet I look after. I’m recently retired after 31 wonderful years with Chardon Local Schools, and now I have the time and flexibility to focus on something I truly enjoy — caring for animals. I’m home most of the day, which means your pets will get plenty of attention, companionship, and care. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just relaxing company, I’m here to make sure your pets feel loved and comfortable while you’re away. I care for pets in their own home where they feel most comfortable and secure. Whether I’m stopping by for a drop-in visit or taking your dog for a walk, I treat every pet like my own — with patience, love, and attention to their individual needs. I follow your instructions closely, keep routines consistent, and always make sure pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I also provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands.

“Sandy is great with my dogs. The dogs are always still their happy little selves when we get home.”

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: 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!

“We loved having Shawntel spend the day with our pets! She was super sweet and gave us updates throughout the day. Even the shyest of our pets were out and about spending time with her! It was a comfort to leave town and know she would be with our fur babies. We would absolutely book with her again.”

Stacy K.

“Absolutely Amazing!! Will definitely only be hiring her again to watch ANY AND ALL of my dogs when we need any sort of care. She was extremely thorough. I have a senior dog, a “special needs dog”- epileptic but young and playful, AND A a dog under two years old. They are well mannered but we have a care routine that she followed so thoroughly that made me relaxed as a worried pet mom. Thank you so much!!”

Anna G.

“Alex was an excellent house and dog sitter! He was available last minute, as we had flights booked for the next morning, and made time to come and meet our dogs right away. We came home to happy dogs and a clean home. Alex went beyond our expectations and we are looking forward to using him in the future.”

Kali G.

“Jill was absolutely amazing, she treated my dog as if it were her own and kept me updated the duration of my trip. Would recommend her to anyone that may be hesitant to try this service. She was amazing.”

About: I have loved and taken care of dogs for years. I am a Dog lover for sure. I have dog sat for family members many times. Retired so I have all day to care for your pets. I am here to give potty breaks as needed and lots and lots of attention. I have a fenced in yard. I have two small dogs that love to play. I live in a small neighborhood with no traffic or noise.

“Anna was great! Very punctual and friendly to my dogs and cat. I was away for a week and I got constant updates on my babies throughout the day! I was able to enjoy my vacation fully because I knew my dogs and cat were in good hands!! Would book with Anna again 100%!!”

Peaches P.

About: I’ve been helping taking care of animals since I was about 10. I love animals so much and wish I could save and keep every single one. I like all kinds, including rodents and reptiles along with all your basic house pets. I going to school fully online and because of that I am able to take care of your pets anytime and even on short notice. I am happy to take care of your pets exactly as you request. If they go on walks, to parks, need medicine, or need special attention or care I’m happy to provide your pets with all of their needs.

About: I have had two dogs one of them since they were a puppy. I have been asked to dog sit for multiple families on more than one occasion. I currently work full time but am not married or have children. When I dog sit, it is my main focus and I spend as much time as possible with them. I follow the structure/ times the families are usually home. I have no problem transporting dogs in my car if necessary. I can give oral medication as necessary as well.

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.
