About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 30 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats. I’ve worked part-time for veterinarians and independently managed a veterinary kennel on weekends, where I was responsible for daily care, feeding, medications, exercise, and closely monitoring each pet’s health and comfort. I have extensive experience with senior pets, and senior dogs hold a special place in my heart. I’m attentive, patient, and very comfortable following special routines, administering medications, and noticing subtle changes that might signal a problem. When I’m dog walking or house sitting, I focus on consistency, calm energy, and making sure pets feel safe and cared for in their own environment. I treat every animal as if they were my own and aim to give pet parents complete peace of mind while they’re away. As a retired VP of marketing and advertising, I maintain a flexible schedule so I can prioritize your pet’s needs. I’m available for daytime walks, extended stays, and can often accommodate last-minute requests. I often split my time between Warren, PA, and Cleveland, OH, so I accept bookings in both areas. Basically, I go (or stay) where I'm needed. Safety and trust are at the core of my care. I'll follow your pet’s routine, provide close attention to their well-being, and treat your home with care and respect.

About: I grew up in a house hold where we always had some sort of four legged critters. From breeding to part of the family. I prefer four legged companion than 2. It's therapeutic to just chill with someone who just wants to be loved and played with. I've relocated to be closer to my mom. So I'm looking for work to pay my bills. I love animals, so why wouldn't this be an awesome way to make money and play with four legged critters. All care be done in the client's home. So pets are familiar with own surroundings and have a better experience with a random stranger, when it comes to caring for others four legged family member.
“Emily was amazing! She was so good with my 2 pups. I am so thankful for the care and love she showed for Wallace and Wyatt in my home for 2 days. I love my dogs and it was so refreshing to know they were in such great hands while I was away, i was able to relax for once without worrying about them! I would recommend her to anyone.”

“Jenniffer was awesome. Our dogs loved her and she took great care of our house. She took them on walks everyday and sent lots of pictures and updates. She coordinated letting people into our house and left it cleaner than we left it. She works from home, so our dogs got to go out whenever they wanted and got to sleep in our bed with her- like they prefer! The dogs were relaxed and happy when we returned. So excited to have a professional, compassionate person to look after our dogs from now on.”

About: I have been taking care of my pets since I was 8 and have been pet sitting for family and friends since 12. I have done everything from stopping by to full on house sitting. I am currently working 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. I have every Sunday off. Every other week alternates Saturdays for a weekday. I am great with animals and will give them lots of love and play while watching. I can stick to a schedule to be sure not interrupt their usual day.
About: I have grown up with dogs in the house and I just absolutely adore them. I have to care for my own dog often since my family is very busy and I have dog sat multiple families dogs and just went to play with them as well. I am just as excited to spend time with them as they are with us! I currently don’t have a job and am looking for something fun to do! I am open to any times really, I can adjust my day to when you need things done. I have a fenced in yard and occasionally another dog to possibly keep yours company. I am fully capable of crating yours if need and doing whatever they need.
“Makenzie did great with our 2 dogs, while we were out of town for 1.5 weeks. She was attentive to their needs and kept us updated during our time away. We highly recommend Makenzie!”

“This is the third time Elizbeth cared for my two dogs and one cat. This was a 2-night house-sitting job. I can't say enough positive things about how Elizabeth ensured my pets' welfare. Both dogs are pretty sensitive and have been uneasy when we have been away in the past. Not so with Elizabeth! They had a great time playing and cuddling with her, and they settled in beautifully. When we got home, I could see how comfortable they are with Elizabeth. What a difference and what a relief! I recommend Elizabeth highly for her pet sitting skills and dedication to the best care for my pets.”
