Dog Sitting Rocky River

About: I grew up with both a dog and a cat, so I’ve had plenty of hands-on experience caring for pets of different personalities and needs. I know how important daily walks are for a dog’s happiness and health, and I love spending time outdoors with furry friends—whether it’s a quick stroll around the block or a longer adventure. I’m also comfortable with drop-in visits, providing pets with fresh water, meals, playtime, and lots of love when their owners can’t be there. I treat every pet like my own- I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for when you’re away!! I'm available in the Mon-Thurs evenings starting at 5:30 p.m. Fridays I am available after 12 pm and weekends are variable, so please message for availability! I can be flexible. I am happy to do walks and drop ins and can be flexible to whatever routine works best for your pet's care! I am available to do overnights at my home for smaller pets, so please message if interested.

About: I have taken care of senior dogs for over 4 years. Clients trust me to keep their pets needs in mind while I am watching them. I am currently an online student, so that means my schedule is wide open for taking care of and getting to know your precious pets! I maintain the pet's normal routine as closely as possible to minimize stress. I ensure their feeding, water, and exercise needs are met on schedule and take extra care to keep their environment clean and tidy. I respect the home by keeping it clean and secure and am happy to provide updates and photos so you can see how your pet is doing while you’re away.

About: I grew up with having pets in our home, so they’ve always been a part of my everyday life! I’m autistic and ADHD, and animals are one of my special interests. They mean a lot to me and I love interacting, caring for and spending time with them. I work full-time as a chef in a country club, but the slow season has started and we’re closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, so I have nothing to do with my time 😅. I work in the morning on Sunday and I’m off at 2 pm, but the rest of the week I work nights 2 pm to 10 pm, and most likely am not able to pet-sit those days! I have two male cats who are twin brothers, and they are 13 years old. My one cat Carlos has ulcerative colitis and pancreatitis, so we are very diligent with his medicine schedule and his food/everyday life decisions. My sister has a dog, and we also babysit him sometimes, so I’m learning how to care for dogs more! I love all animals and I’m a fast learner and will be very protective of your pets and their needs, but I do have more experience with cats!

About: I grew up with dogs my entire life and started watching dogs for family and friends while in college and couldn't have my own. I've enjoyed watching pets for my loved ones and now that I am in a house and working remotely I want to be able to provide my pet care experience to more fur babies. While the majority of my experience is with dogs I've also taken care of cats, fish, anoles, bearded dragons, rabbits, chinchillas, and hedgehogs. I'm open to caring for all sorts of animals and I'm able to be flexible with your needs. I work outside the house part time so when pets are with me they are my first priority and I only accept pets when I know I have enough time to give them all the attention they need. I have caged animals that I let out when I can supervise them so they house is animal proofed and anything potentially harmful is locked away. I have baby gates that can be put up to keep puppies/ elderly dogs from falling down the stairs. My back yard is enclosed on 3 sides by fencing and would be watched and leashed at all times when outside.

About: I've had dogs most of my life and continuously in my adult life, including my two current dogs, Luna, a shih tzu mix, and Logan, a pekingese mix. Taking care of dogs has become so ingrained into my daily routine that I can't imagine life without it, and I will offer the same care and consideration when taking care of your dogs. I work from home full-time, with largely flexible windows where I can stop by and walk or care for your dog. My work meetings never run longer than an hour, so I can usually work with your dog's preferred schedule. I am the primary caretaker of my wife and my two dogs, including the daily feeding, walks, letting out, and mess clean up. I'll take care of your dog as if it were my own and treat them with the love and respect they deserve.

About: I've taken care of pets my entire life. I've always had large dogs (labs) and cats (I currently have 2). I've trained several puppies, as well as taken care of several litters of puppies after our dog delivered. No problems with older dogs or those with medical needs as I've dealt with that as well. I've always been the person my friends, family, and neighbors come to for help with caring for their pets. Overall, I will give your pet the love and attention I would give my own! I'm currently working a few days a week (9-2) so on those days I would be able to come before/after. The other days I am open and very flexible. I am an organized, clean person that is respectful of other people's homes and pets. I have experienced dogs of all temperaments and personalities and will do my best to suite needs with walk, exercise, etc.

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and caring for them has always come naturally to me. From childhood through adulthood, I’ve regularly spent weeknights and weekends caring for pets of friends, family, and neighbors—feeding, walking, playing, and making sure they feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I take the time to make sure they’re comfortable and well cared for. Whether it’s an energetic pup who needs exercise or a more relaxed companion who just wants company, I’m happy to adapt to their needs. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to easily incorporate pet care throughout the day. I’m able to accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits, and I make sure each pet gets plenty of attention and care—not just a quick check-in. I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would my own. In a client’s home, I stick to your pet’s normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure. I make sure they’re fed on schedule, get plenty of exercise and playtime, and of course lots of love and attention. I’m also happy to send regular updates and photos. If pets stay with me, I create a calm, safe space where they can relax and feel comfortable. I supervise closely, keep them on their usual schedule, and make sure they get plenty of interaction and care.

“THE BEST! Carlitha is the only sitter I’ve found that my dog who struggles with extreme separation anxiety will trust. She goes out of her way to send ample photos, videos and updates throughout each day. She spends her own money on things like pup-cups and she even brought her mobile art studio over once and painted with Charlie! Carlitha is my first choice every time!”

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life, and I have an 18 year old pup at home! I’m very passionate about the quality of life for our furry friends, and can’t wait to meet yours! Safety and fun are my main priority. I’ve transitioned to pet care full time! If you’re looking for someone to spend extended periods of time with your furry companion, I’m your girl! On top of house sitting, I’m also available for walks and drop in visits. I always make sure to follow instructions left by owners as closely as possible. I want you and your pet to feel comfortable and at ease with my care! I do my best to keep dogs exercised as needed so you have a sleepy pup by the end of the day.

About: I grew up working at a dog kennel and have always owned dogs. Some of my best friends are trained professionals and I've learned a lot from them. I can do walks, playtimes and certain medications. I can do over nights just not at my house for the time being. I only work Saturday and Sunday but am Still available early Sundays and later after 9 as well as late (after 12am) on Saturday. My days are pretty open during normal pet care hours and outside of them. Dogs love me, and I understand dog body language. My dog was over 100 lbs and I can handle him just fine. I love dog play times and don't mind running with them to get energy out. I just love dogs and making money. Message me with any questions or concerns.

About: Hello! Nice to meet you, I'm Nick. I offer comprehensive pet care, backed by my lifelong experience growing up with both cats and dogs. I've cared for a variety of breeds, from Great Danes and German Shepherds to miniature poodles and tabby cats. My partner and I currently have two cats of our own, Calcifer and Ponyo, whom we’ve lovingly cared for over the past seven years. I’m dedicated to providing attentive and personalized care for every pet I look after. Some of my favorite hobbies include trying out the local coffee shops, traveling, and catching a show with friends. I currently work fully remote, so I tend to set my own schedule making it very flexible to give your pet the attention they need. I am always attentive and mindful to any animal in my care. It is important to me that your pet is getting the attention they deserve while in my care.

“Has helped with my cat multiple times and he is always so happy to see her! She takes great care of him and sends lively updates and pictures”

“Susana did a great job. It was a godsend that she was able to be flexible and adjust things last minute to help me. She was also very fast at responding and gave me great notes/photos at the check ins. Thank you!”

About: I've had pets my entire life, and over the years, I've also enjoyed caring for the pets of friends and neighbors. Animals have always been a special part of my life, and I treat every pet in my care with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. My dog, Casey, has been deaf her whole life, so I have firsthand experience understanding and caring for a dog with special needs. This has taught me the importance of patience, attentiveness, and finding ways to communicate that help each pet feel safe and comfortable. I'm reliable, responsible, and careful to follow your instructions and your pet's usual routines. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family members, and I'll do my very best to make sure they feel loved, happy, and well cared for! 🐾 Pet care is a part of my daily life with my dogs and cats. Pet visits and walks for clients are part of my routine and I make sure your pets get the attention, care, and affection they need. I'll follow your instructions and keep them as close to their usual routine as possible. I can care for your pet in your home by: - Putting food down - Making sure they have water - Giving them attention and playing with them - Walking them - Providing a summary of my visit / walk

“Maura was wonderful. She was so attentive and sent amazing pictures. She’s reliable and has amazing communication. I will absolutely be using her in the future and I recommend her 100%!”

About: After I walk and feed the pet, I like to sit with them and spend time with them. Familiarity is very important and they appreciate the time. I currently work part time and while I am involved in other things, I do like to help my friends out and pet sit for them. While I only can offer service from client's residence, I tend to follow pet parents' instructions for food, exercise, and genuine care. I like to practice the same routine as the pet owner as much as I can.

About: What truly sets me apart as a pet caretaker is my intuitive, patient, and highly observant approach. I don’t believe in a "one-size-fits-all" method for pet care. Instead, I use my deep understanding of dog behavior and body language to adapt to each pet’s unique personality, emotional needs, and energy levels. I specialize in providing a calm, low-stress environment, making me particularly a great fit for dogs that need a gentler, more mindful touch. From a young age I have been around dogs in all ranges - puppies, elders, rescues, energetic, anxious, etc. I help take care of my own dogs, family, and friend’s dogs when they are out of town or just need some extra love! <3 I am currently a graduate student pursuing a Master’s degree in the helping profession, which allows me to maintain a highly flexible and adaptable schedule throughout the week. Because my studies are largely self-paced and hybrid, I have plenty of open availability to dedicate high-quality, focused time to your pet. Because I care for your dogs through walking and house-sitting, my top priorities are absolute home security, maintaining your pet's familiar environment, and vigilant safety on the leash. I know how stressful it can be to let someone into your home and trust them with your furry family member, which is why I approach my services with the utmost respect, awareness, and care. Before we even step foot outside, I double-check that all collars, harnesses, and leashes are securely fitted. I practice defensive walking and never let your dog off-leash in unsecured areas. When we are out on a walk, my focus is 100% on your dog. I am constantly scanning the environment for potential triggers—like off-leash dogs, loud construction, or busy intersections—and I proactively adapt our route to keep the walk calm and safe. Walks are tailored entirely to your dog's age and health. Whether it's a brisk, high-energy exercise session or a slow, sniffing-focused stroll for a senior pup, I let them set the pace. I treat your home with the highest level of respect. I strictly follow your house rules, keep spaces clean, and ensure your home is locked up and fully secure every time I enter or leave. Pets thrive on routine. By staying in their familiar environment, I minimize their separation anxiety. I stick perfectly to your established schedules for feeding, medication, potty breaks, and bedtime so their daily life changes as little as possible. To give you total peace of mind, I provide regular updates and photos. You will never have to wonder how your pet is doing; you’ll know they are safe, happy, and relaxed in their own home.

About: Hi! I’m Robert. I’ve had animals all my life (dogs, cats, fish, lizards, hermit crabs, raised praying mantids and butterflies). I trap and spay/neuter feral cats (TNR), feed birds, planted a pollinator garden in my yard…love nature and appreciate the relationship between humans and animals. My small dog Tyson is 11 or 12 years old and has some special needs (anxiety, hip-problems, blind in one eye, and I am his 3rd owner), so I know patience and compassion when it comes to senior dogs. Two of my cats I’ve had since they were kittens, and the third cat was abandoned by a neighbor and chose me as her new human when they left her. Happy to accommodate your companion’s special needs, and will be honest with you if there is something I don’t feel confident about. I also use two water fountain bowls, so your friend will have access to clean, moving water. I am a bar tender and have been doing that work since 2006, 12 years at my current bar. I work part time there and have a good amount of free-time which I can use to take care of of your dog. I have a large fenced in yard (176 ft of 6ft tall wooden fence) with plenty of shade, water bowls, central air and heating. Pets are free to lounge anywhere in my house, but I do prefer dogs to be crated if I am away for their own safety, and peace of mind for me :) Please let me know if you have any rules you have for your pets at home, feeding schedule, potty-break schedule, etc.
