“Monica is the best! Professional and friendly. Easy to work with. You can tell she loves dogs. It’s so hard to trust someone with my pup while I’m at work, Monica eases all my worries. I have loved working with her and would recommend her to anyone!”

“I was very skeptical about using one of these apps. But I came across Frank and he is incredible. I am using him on a weekly base now, almost daily and even twice. Hes cleaned the cat boxes with out asking, he has kept me up to date with pictures and all. I had to make a cancelation today with know problem. Highly recommend him!”

“Katarina is an excellent dog walker and I am extremely happy with her services! She goes above and beyond her expectations every time she comes by and takes care of my girls!! I have a 7year old female (overweight, lol) boxer/Pitt mix and an 8 month old VERY energetic female Rottweiler and my girls absolutely love Katarina!!! She handles both of them with ease and professionalism! If you are searching for someone to come to your house and take care of your precious fur baby/babies, look nowhere else Katarina is your person!!”

“Felix is a delightful young man = I feel very lucky that I connected with him. He is punctual, full of life and truly loves animals. Sammy, my dog, would lie by the sliding glass door in the morning waiting for him and jump for joy as soon as Felix arrived. Felix also paid attention to Sugar, my cat, when he was here. I highly recommend him and would have no hesitation to have him house sit for me should the need arise.”

About: I have been providing pet sitting/walking services since 2016, with experience caring for animals of various ages and needs, including senior dogs and young kittens. I currently provide recurring cat sitting care for Stella, a Ragdoll, on a quarterly basis. I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and individualized attention when caring for pets. My priority is to ensure every animal in my care feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while maintaining their routines and meeting their individual needs. I also strive to provide pet owners with peace of mind through dependable, attentive care and clear communication. As an animal lover, I am committed to treating every pet with kindness, respect, and the same level of care I would want for my own. I work full time Monday through Friday from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM, so I’m available for early morning dog walks/drop ins at 6:00 or 7:00 AM any day of the week. I’m also available for walks, drop in visits, and pet care anytime after 5:00 PM Monday-Friday. I understand that every pet and owner has different needs, and I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that works best for everyone. My goal is to provide dependable, loving care that fits into your pet’s routine and gives you peace of mind while you’re away. I’d love to meet you and your furry friend, so feel free to reach out with any questions or booking requests. I look forward to meeting you both! I prefer caring for pets in their own home so they can stay in a familiar space where they feel most comfortable. I’m happy to follow your care instructions and keep their routines as consistent as possible. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I want you to feel confident knowing they’re being cared for while you’re away. Whether it’s keeping them company, giving them extra attention, or making sure all their needs are met, I want every pet to feel safe, loved, and at ease. I’ll always treat your home with respect and your pets like family!

About: I’m fine with cats and dogs. I enjoy taking dogs out and making sure the get good exercise. Will do kitty litter if needed :) I've been petsitting for a couple years now in my neighborhood and I enjoy it very much. I’ve been recommended by many people and I’m glad they trust my services. I can stay at the house for a couple hours if you need me to, however I will not stay overnight so I apologize if that’s an inconvenience. I usually drop in a couple times a day and spend a reasonable amount of time with pets, I want to make sure they don’t get lonely and I’ll spoil them with attention. I have experience with giving oral medication to pets. I also have experience with shy and anxious dogs, I volunteer at my local animal rescue so I know to approach animals carefully. I work Thursday through Sunday so any time after 2pm I am free to check in on your pet! I am free Monday through Wednesday a majority of the day if you need me to let them out in the morning or afternoon. I try to get an understanding of the pets temperament in order to learn how to approach them and make them comfortable. I always let the pet know that I mean no harm and I want to be their buddy!

“Megan is absolutely phenomenal! From the first day she met Sasha I could tell she was a pro! Megan is attentive to Sasha, she always gives me great updates and pictures every day! She communicates anything that may be off for that day so I know what to expect when I get home! She takes Sasha on great adventures around the neighborhood and Sasha always looks so happy! Megan is very mindful of our schedule and makes sure she communicates any changes wrll ahead of time and is so flexible with my schedule! I cannot say enough wonderful things about Megan but I have recommended her to other friends and would encourage anyone reading this to book her! She is the best!!”

About: I have worked with dogs specifically for about 3 years and some months. I’ve done Boarding/Daycare as well as Bathing. (this is where most of my experience comes from) I’ve bathed, brushed, and even trimmed nails of dogs of all kinds and ages for 2-3 years. Even though my boarding and daycare experience is new, I did enjoy it very much and I follow instruction well as long as they are direct and clear. I have extreme patience when it comes to learning the behaviors of our pets, I know not all dogs or cats are the same and they all have their boundaries and different personalities that make them special to us and I respect that. I love cats of all breeds as well. Believe it or not as much as I have dealt with all breeds I personally LOVE the big breeds, I do not mind hair or drool! (of both cats and dogs) I also have 3 cats and a Husky who is soon to turn 4! I will admit I do not know everything again every animal is different but I am willing to learn and adapt to what you and your pets need or want. Anything to make them happy and comfortable will always be my main goal. If you have any questions or concerns plz do not hesitate to reach out!! I am working part time at a retail in fairlawn BUT I would be willing to change and adapt my schedule for the right person. Let’s talk about what you need and go from there! All of my animals have a routine in my home. My Husky will get water before his food (he won’t even touch his food before we go outside lol) after I take him out to our lil dog park (at my apt) I then give him his food , After that I go and give my cats their water and food and clean their litter boxes (and their room) Then after my husky finishes his food for exercise we go on an hour or so walk (if you have a husky you understand lol) I am very clean dependent , I do not like a messy environment I am constantly sweeping and cleaning my apt to try and keep it as clean as possible with four pets. I do crate my husky whenever I leave , we’ve been doing as such since he was a pup!

About: I've been around cats and dogs my whole life and always enjoyed learning their unique personalities and social hierarchies. I am still (forever) mourning the loss of my childhood dogs and funnel my love for them towards any dog I encounter. I was a 4Paws sitter in college, so I have experience with socializing puppies and some basic training, while adapting to the dog's different ages. I have a cat of my own that I love like my own human child, and I spread that care and joy to any kitty I encounter! I am currently very flexible as I am new to the area and between jobs. I have the time to show your pet the care and love that it needs while you are gone! I have my own car so I can easily travel to care for multiple pets if necessary. My yard is not entirely fenced in, but there is grass in the back and front. I have one cat in my home, so I require cat-friendly dogs that can ideally be crated for short periods if needed. As far as other cats, I know it can be situational, but I do have the space to keep the cats separated to begin with/ the whole visit if necessary. All of our indoor plants are pet-friendly as well!

“Dakota was great. She was very polite and punctual. She was always very patient with my dog. Baxter acts like a puppy with endless energy.”

About: I have two dogs of my own. Both are very friendly and get along with other dogs. They have been to the dog park multiple times. I am home most weekends, evenings, and throughout the day on weekdays. I will treat your dogs like my own. I have flexible rates if you need me to watch more than 1 of your dogs. I have flexible rates if you need them watched for an extended amount of time. I have a son who has been raised with dogs since birth so he will treat them well and is not afraid of dogs at all. I'm happy to answer any questions you may have. I look forward to helping care for your fur baby. I am available mornings, evenings, and weekends. I also have flexibility to leave work for an extended lunch. I have the flexibility needed to care for your pets. I have friendly pets who are used to other animals.
