Dog Sitting in North Olmsted

“Thank you so much for stepping up with such short notice for a mid week visit! I really appreciate the care you provided for my elderly blind dog.”

“Brian was absolutely wonderful! He took great care of our puppy, Storm, on our wedding day. He updated us with pictures, and messages. He transported Storm to and from our wedding day pictures at Lakewood Park. He went beyond our expectations. He has set the bar high and we would give the highest recommendation to book with him!! Great job! Thank you so much Brian!!”

About: What sets me apart from other dog sitters is my professional experience as an animal keeper, where attention to detail, behavior observation, and quality care are essential every day. I’ve owned and cared for dogs throughout my life and genuinely enjoy being around them, whether at dog parks, beaches, or dog-friendly spaces. Even without a dog of my own currently, I stay actively connected to dogs and understand the exercise, enrichment, patience, and companionship they need to thrive. I currently work full time as a professional animal keeper, but I’m excited to spend my free time caring for even more animals. I’m available for pet sitting, drop-in visits, and walks outside of my work hours, and I bring the same level of attentiveness, reliability, and compassion to pets that I do in my professional animal care career. I understand the importance of trust, responsibility, and attention to detail when caring for animals in someone else’s home. I am reliable, respectful of clients’ spaces, and committed to providing attentive monitoring, consistent care, and peace of mind while pets are in my care. I currently care for two cats, a lizard, and a boa, which has given me firsthand experience with the unique needs, behaviors, and routines of a variety of animals. Caring for such different species has strengthened my understanding that every pet is an individual and deserves personalized, attentive care tailored to their specific personality and needs.

About: I say the above because for many years, my long time dog buddy, Shelby (pictured in the photo I'm holding), loved to ride in my car, right by my side. Shelby passed away in 2018 and I miss her so much, every day. In 2019, I rescued a blue heeler/beagle mix, Nova; then in 2024, a shepherd mix, Holly. Dogs have been my companions for more than 40 years, and I have loved caring for, walking, playing, vacationing and just plain hanging with them. . I truly love dogs. They are one of humankind's most noble and steadfast animal friends. I would very much enjoy taking your best friend (or friends) for a walk. I have always enjoyed the company of my canines...and I'm sure I'd feel the same way about your four-legged pals. Plus, getting out with them is great exercise...for both dog and human! I am semi retired, so I have much flexibility in the hours that can be devoted to dog walking. I walk my own dogs in all kinds of weather, which is necessary given the variable climate here in NE Ohio! In my own home, my dogs get out for walks at least three times a day, we well as potty breaks where necessary. They have crates where they can freely go to when they wish to. Most important is that the dogs and I adhere to a stable, regular routine, including feeding and playtimes.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life - mostly well tempered labs we got as puppies. Now, my husband and I have a pitbull who we rescued a few years ago that has taught us so much about patience and unconditional love. She’s needed a lot of training and nurturing due to her abusive past and we accepted the challenge. Now, I am comfortable with all kinds of training tools such as prong and e-collars, I understand how to read behavior and body language and feel very confident caring for dogs that have different behavioral challenges. I work frequently with a trainer (with 30+ years experience) who has really changed our dog’s life for the better and has taught me how to be a more confident and responsible dog owner/caretaker. Rover is my secondary gig - I am a full time personal trainer. I work mostly afternoons and evening but am available during the day during the week and most weekends. I frequently update my calendar, so make sure to check out my availability prior to booking! I can not keep dogs in my home as our rescue dog is not friendly to other dogs, but I would be happy to care for your pet in your home/neighborhood, which I am sure is the most comfortable environment for them anyway. I love to get my steps in and was an athlete for many years so I can take dogs for short or long walks depending on the owners desired activity level for their pet! I'd be happy to walk around your neighborhood or head over to a local trail or park as well!

“Erica was amazing! We set up a meet and greet and our cat is very selective of who he immediately goes up to and he wasted no time meeting her. We were able to enjoy our trip and not worry at all if our cat was cared for and well taken care of! Will be using her again! We really appreciated the amount of pictures she sent us.”

“Carrie took great care of our kitty providing her food/water, medication, and clean boxes twice daily. She was always quick to communicate and went above and beyond by sweeping up litter, wiping counters down, and taking out the trash for us.”

Dana T.

“Ghazal did an amazing job taking care of Sam. She stopped in as planned and gave thorough updates. We were grateful to have lots of pics with each visit and it was clear Sam bonded with Ghazal quickly.”

Halle T.

“Mary was wonderful, dogs were well taken care of. Loved the pics & communication.”

Renee S.

“Thanks for pictures!”

Amy H.

“Christina has been awesome spending time to get to know my two dogs, even though one of them is people-phobic. I appreciated her suggestions on ways to try to ensure my little dog takes her medications. She is very caring and enjoyable to work with.”

Anne G.

“Susan did an outstanding job taking care of Lucy during our time away. She arrived exactly on time for each drop-in visit, communicated clearly and consistently, and kept us well informed throughout. Lucy is a Belgian Malinois with plenty of energy, and Susan handled her confidently and professionally. It was clear Lucy was well cared for and comfortable in her care. We truly appreciated her reliability and attention to detail. I would absolutely recommend Susan to anyone looking for dependable, high-quality care for their pet.”

About: I have had dogs just about my entire adult life. I had a miniature pinscher named Trey for 15 years and he was awesome! I also had a terrier mix named Alice for 12 years whom I loved very much. I have not had a dog for a few years now and miss getting to play/walk with a four-legged friend and figured this would be a fun way to scratch that itch. I have a sunroom that overlooks acres of woods for your pup to stare/bark at and a big front window to guard and let the mailman know who's boss. I work from home and can hang out with your pup all day in my house. I have a big yard they can play in and can take them for frequent walks. I do not have any pets so your pup will get my full attention. I have had dogs for 20+ years of my life and am a huge animal lover!

About: I have taken care of kittens, cats, senior cats, dog and senior dogs. I am comfortable with administering medications and litter box care. I have raised 6 fur babies of my own as well as 3 puppies and a grand puppy! I have availability early mornings, evenings, and weekends. Working from home allows me to have a more flexible schedule and can plan for multiple daily visits. I respect your home, follow all instructions carefully, and prioritize your pet’s safety, routine, and well-being. Whether your dog or cat is social, shy, senior, or requires medication, I will provide patient and compassionate care tailored to their needs.

“Lori is amazing! Dependable and prepared to care for your pet. She stops in for our dog Jimmy who absolutely loves her. I don’t know who wouldn’t love Lori!”

Juliane S.

“Remi & I love Emilee! Very sweet and great communication, I appreciated the pictures I got during her visit! Would gladly book with her again :)”

Amy S.

“Alicia was great in caring for our two furbabies. She was very attentive and communicated often during our time away. Will definitely contact Alicia when we need our dogs cared for.”

Scott D.

“We are officially recurring customers. Amber is awesome! She not only cares for the boys but makes sure my house is in good order. She cleaned up the entire yard after my boys which was above and beyond expectations.”

About: I have grown up with a dog in my house since I was born. I have taken care of neighbors and friends dogs while they have went on vacation or just out of town for work. Since moving away for college and now graduate school, I am looking for my dog fix since I cannot own one myself With the summer starting and vacations coming up I will do my best to be available for your dogs. I do have other responsibilities such as school and work but I am always 100% with my clients if I will be a good fit for the stay/drop or not. If you are looking to book with me but see my availability is different then what you’re looking for, please still send me a message and I will do my best to accommodate to make it work! Since I am not able to host dogs at my current place of residence, this will allow the dog to feel more comfortable with a stranger coming to take care of them while the owners are away for however long. I will adjust to their routine so they hardly notice the owners are gone. They will receive all the belly rubs and love they could ask for until their owner returns home

About: I have grown up with dogs, hamsters, guinea pigs, and fish as pets. In addition to this, I have over two years of experience as a vet assistant at Westpark Animal Hospital. Being a vet assistant has improved both my dog and cat handling/care-taking skills. My family has also fostered puppies and I am a volunteer dog walker for CITY DOGS. I will be a sophomore at Ohio State in the fall and I am studying Animal Sciences on the Pre-Vet track! My hours at work this summer allow me to be relatively available throughout the week. I will be able to fit pet care into my routine before or after work, depending on the hours that I am scheduled for the week. I have 2 dogs at home and will be raising a Guiding Eye puppy this summer. My yard is partially fenced, but it would probably be better for me to drop into clients' homes for walks, playtime, feeding, etc. I'm used to my dogs being higher-energy, so I feel confident caring for pets of all energy levels.
