Megan was on time, provided updates, and asked for ways to make sure our pets were provided the best care while we were away for a week. Highly recommend!

Such a great first experience having Shawna care for our kitties while we were away for 5 days. They're skittish and she spent time letting them feel her out and adjusting to her. Shawna sent comforting updates and great pictures. She was timely and communicative, we felt so relieved as we've had several not-so-great experiences. We're psyched to find a local go-to cat sitter for future time away. Additionally, she brought in all the boxes that got delivered to our porch and immediately communicated about how we could get our key back. Highly recommend.

Claire has been amazing with taking care of our cat while we were away! Claire is very professionally and knows her job well! Our cat is generally very shy with strangers but she rolled herself on the floor with belly up when Claire visited - the ultimate testimonial from the “client” :) I highly recommend Claire!

About: I am an animal person through and through. I grew up with dogs, my dad bred and trained them. I have been trusted by roommates, family members, and friends to care for their pets as well. These include large and small dogs, senior dogs, cats, and kittens. I love spending time with animals, so it makes me feel so grateful that I can help you by doing something I love :) I am currently in an MBA program through John Carroll University (night classes). So, I am available most mornings and afternoons. I have a super flexible schedule so please reach out! I am respectful of others spaces, so when caring for your pet at your home or in your neighborhood, I will clean up after them, play with them, and offer any cuddles they need. At home, my roommate has a two year old cat. When we adopted her, the shelter told us that she is an “only cat.” I can’t imagine her being mean to anyone, but to be safe, I will not bring your pets to my home.

About: I've worked with everything from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a gentler pace and special care. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, administering medications, and reading canine body language to ensure your pet is always at ease. I am currently working part-time, so I have a lot of time in my hands to keep your pets company. I am also available to dog sit especially on the weekends! I have a fenced yard, and a friendly dog to keep your pets company. I also have multiple leaders and leashes at my home for your pets.

About: Though I did not grow up with cats and dogs in my own home, I have taken care of dogs and cats for friends for years. In recent years I have lived with multiple cats of all personality types and breeds (e.g. tabby, persian) as well as a pit mix dog. For most dogs I've sat I have walked, played with & groomed them. I have some experience administering medication, too, for cats and dogs. I am a repeat sitter because I am reliable, trustworthy in other people's homes and loving and responsible towards the furry friend. I care for the animal like they are my own and have developed an affinity for these pets over the years. :') I am returning from being on a long trip traveling around Europe and Asia. Really looking forward to being back home and finding new clients to take care of their furry family members. I like to care for pets in the owner's home, since my home is not suitable for furry friends at this time. I love to play with their toys with them, run and walk with them, but also cuddle with them and give them attention. It definitely depends on the animal, though, as they each have very distinct personalities. I trust you will tell me whether your pet needs more or less extra attention, or how you usually do things.
