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: I have raised three reactive dogs in my lifetime so far. I understand the patience and commitment to making sure your pets are happy and healthy in every aspect and accommodated for! I work full time, but my job is very flexible. I usually will have an assignment outdoors that rarely take more than two hours to finish so I’m able to stop by home or your home and make sure the animals are doing fine. I have availability Sunday to Sunday! in my own home I have a large fenced in yard, and I have with me my sweet dog Kiwi, she loves bigger dogs to play with. We will play soccer outside usually or do some gardening! Located close to the Euclid Creek reservation, we frequent walks around the trail.

“Brandon was great! I knew he was going to be great fit since the meet and greet. Our dog Benji loves him. Milo will take a bit of time but I'm sure over the next few visits Brandon will win him over too.”


About: My dog at home is very reactive and we have been with many trainers to calm him down. I have much experience with dogs like him and learned from trainers. I have sat for various owners over the last few years and always enjoy keeping animals company! I am a college student on my summer break! I have a very open schedule and would be open to helping anyone out at any time! I always make sure to have the pet's water and food stalked up and clean up the surrounding areas for the owner. I always make sure to leave the space looking better than when I arrived. I cannot house pets at my home due to my reactive animal but I am 100% willing to come to you!

About: I am an enthusiastic animal mom with over 10 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, mice, leopard geckos and freshwater aquariums. Currently, I have 2 large, high energy pups, so I have great experience handling multiple dogs, dogs who need to focus on a job while walking, as well as strong doggos with squirrel impulse. I am very detail oriented and adept with multiple step health care routines for small animals. Being the caregiver to leopard geckos and freshwater fish makes me aware of several factors including, but not limited to temperature, ph, and nitrates that need to be consistently monitored when looking after aquariums, amphibians and reptiles. My love for all animals and experience as a pet owner makes me a great choice for your dog walking and pet sitting needs. :)

About: I have a sweet beagle that was rescued 7 years ago. I am fully responsible for his care, including feeding, walking, bathing, nail trimming, etc. I always check him for ticks after visiting a park and know how to safely remove them. I enjoy going for long walks, especially in summer, so would be glad to give your dog exercise. My kids have had goats, rabbits, chickens, turkeys, and ducks, which are all fun to play with, and I would be glad to care for your less-typical pets, if needed. I have even cared for lizards and snakes. I am a teacher, so have loads of time available in the summer. During the school year, I am available most weekends and after 4 on weekdays. I always keep dogs on leash when walking them...you never know when a squirrel or other dog will come by or how they will react.

“Randy was absolutely wonderful at taking care of our pets while we were on vacation (a dog and a cat). He was communicative and took many pictures during his drop ins. Our dog ended up peeing on the upstairs carpet multiple times while we were away and he took the initiative to clean it up for us. Randy also came out a week before we left to meet the animals so the dog/cat could get used to him being around for the week.”


About: For a decade I’ve been caring for and helping families with their pets. Ranging from farm animals to house pets, it’s important to read their body language and keep their routine constant.

I’m currently taking a summer break- I recently finished up a residency and pharmacy degree, so I am looking forward to having some time off this summer. I have a few trips planned, but otherwise I will be home every day to be able to provide the best care for your pups. I have a securely fenced in yard along with a young pup who just turned 1 years old. He is very friendly and would love to have a friend to play with during the day.

About: Since the age of 10, I have cared for many animals, whether it be my own dog or a neighbors. I have experience with dogs, cats, and rabbits and I am not opposed to caring for another animal! Since entering college, I have been dog-sitting for many families and I am comfortable with staying at houses. I am currently home for the summer and am very flexible throughout the week. I am a college athlete so I have training at varying times of the day. However, I will be able to stop by and check on your pet before and after, not leaving them alone for too long! When caring for pets at a client’s home, I prioritize safety by following any specific instructions provided by the pet owner, including feeding and walking routines as well as medication if needed. I never leave a pet unattended outside unless it is in a fully fenced area.
