“We are visitors to OH and looking for someone to watch our dog Georgia for a day while we bike the tow path and ride the train. Aspen was amazing. She really put us at ease by giving us updates constantly and letti ng us know how our dog was doing. I cannot recommend her enough”
“Highly recommend Anna and Alex! They are super communicative and accommodating. Our initial day care day was cancelled due to them being sick, which they informed me very early on the day and explained how uncommon cancelling is for them. We got to reschedule and I could tell my puppy felt right at home. He’ll be staying with them again for 10 days while I’m on vacation but I feel at ease that he’ll be in great hands!”

About: Hi, I’m Alex! I live in Lakewood, Ohio, and work from home full-time, which means your pup will get plenty of love, attention, and care throughout the day. My flexible schedule allows me to be fully present with the dogs I watch—whether that’s extra playtime, regular potty breaks, or simply being a comforting presence throughout the day. I’ve always been a dog person and genuinely love spending time with them. I’ve had my dog, Bruno, for a little over two years now. He’s friendly, playful, and loves meeting other dogs. We have a fully fenced-in backyard that’s perfect for safe, supervised play and outdoor relaxation. Whether it’s a game of fetch, a good sniff around the yard, or lounging in the sun, there’s always room for fun here. Over the past few months, I’ve started dog sitting more regularly, and it’s been a great experience getting to know dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. Whether your dog is staying overnight, popping in for a visit, or hanging out for daycare, I’ll treat them like one of my own. I know how important it is to feel confident when leaving your dog with someone new, and I’m here to make sure both you and your pup feel completely comfortable and cared for. I work from home, so I can easily manage having a dog with me during the day or after work if needed. It’s a big part of my routine. I have plenty of space inside and out for completely supervised play, but I also had my dog professionally- trained for over a year so that he could be around other dogs in a variety of settings. The training was just as much for me as it was for Bruno!
About: I am a dog owner and animal lover. Care, safety and attention to detail are top of mind for me. I look forward to getting the chance to spoil your dog like they are my own! Pet care is an essential part of my daily routine, ensuring the dogs in my care receive exactly what they need to have a great day and thrive! I have a large fenced in yard. I offer on leash potty breaks and walks multiple times a day. Inside I have two friendly and excited dogs who love to snuggle, play, and are happy to share their toys!
About: Started loving cats very young. Took care of a neighbor cat for many years. I assisting with feeding and litter box cleaning, grooming(if the cat permits). I also do dog walking and visits as well. I recently moved to Ohio and would like to continue carrying for people’s fur babies I spend time with my 4 ladies when I come home from work. I groom them. Pet them endlessly lol. I walk my dog in the afternoons. And play ball all day with her. She’s obsessed with balls My cats have their own set up in my home to allow them to freely climb the walls. At other ppls homes, I feed and clean the litter box and spend some time letting their cat get comfortable with me.
“Elizabeth is everything you would want from a sitter. She's very attentive, responsive and organized. She helps exercise my dog during the day and provides frequent updates throughout the day. Highly recommended!”
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: After a few years of house and dog sitting, I’ve cared for all kinds of dogs and feel comfortable with any breed or personality. I’m reliable, responsible, and love spending time with animals. I’m currently a graduate student studying Speech-Language Pathology and looking to care for pets in the Lakewood area. Right now, I have a full month off from school, so my schedule is wide open! Starting August 25, I’ll be available on weekends only. I live in an apartment in Lakewood, right across from parks—ideal for walks, playtime, or relaxing outside. I’m active and love getting pups fresh air and exercise. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I prioritize their comfort, safety, and happiness. At my place, dogs enjoy plenty of outdoor time and a calm, cozy environment. In your home, I follow your pet’s usual routines and house rules closely. I also keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know how they’re doing.
About: I’ve been taking care of animals for about 3 years now and I love them. I would say I am very much an animal person they bring so much comfort & and love to your life they are energetic and help you have more responsibilities. :) I am an open schedule and I love being active so having animals will just make my day go by smoother and easier and way more funn In my home they will have everything they need food water treats toys beds etc there is a park next to my home so I will be taking the animals on frequent walks enjoying the day and this beautiful weather
