About: I’ve grown up around animals my entire life and have always loved caring for them! I have experience with dogs of all sizes, from Yorkies to Great Danes, and I truly enjoy everything from long walks and playtime to cuddling up with your pup. I’ve also cared for a variety of other pets, including reptiles, birds, and rodents. My experience ranges from caring for young puppies as early as 6 months old to senior dogs with disabilities and pups with severe social anxiety who need extra patience, understanding, and one-on-one attention. Every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I’m happy to provide the individualized care that helps them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. My husband and I are both huge animal lovers, and we would be thrilled to give your pets the same love and attention we would give our own! 🐾 I work from home two days a week, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability to fit pet care into my routine. I also go on walks every day and love spending time outside, so having a furry walking buddy is a perfect addition to my day! My husband and I love to travel, which makes it difficult for us to have pets of our own. Because of that, we truly enjoy every opportunity to spend time with animals and spoil them with plenty of love and attention. Whether your pup needs a walk, some playtime, or just a cozy companion to hang out with, I’d be happy to make them part of my daily routine! I want every pet to feel comfortable, safe, and loved while they’re in my care. At a client’s home, I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including their feeding schedule, walks, medications, playtime, and any special instructions. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you can feel connected to your pet while you’re away. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away!

About: I have spent the last several years providing dedicated, high-quality pet care for families across Cleveland Heights, Shaker Heights, and the surrounding East Side suburbs. My background isn't just about feeding and walking; it’s about understanding animal behavior and providing a seamless, stress-free experience for both the pets and their owners. Over the years, I have successfully cared for a wide variety of personalities and needs—ranging from high-energy Beagles to gentle senior pups who require a more patient, attentive touch. I specialize in keeping anxious animals calm and grounded while their families are away, often using custom environmental cues (like playing or making soothing music) to help them relax. My approach to pet sitting is built on old-fashioned reliability, mature professionalism, and absolute respect for your privacy. When I watch your pets or stay in your home, my focus is entirely on the animals, not on a phone screen. I take pride in being a conscientious, neat guest, ensuring you return to a space that is just as clean and orderly as you left it, alongside happy, relaxed pets. Most pets tend to flock right to me. With six cats at present and a handful of cats and dogs down through the years we've built a rapport. Besides the basic maintenance of feeding and walking/scooping companionship is essential and it's important for them to feel safe and appreciated. Working both part-time and freelance, my schedule is pretty flexible and few things are set in stone. Tell me what you need and I'll work around your schedule. Our six cats, all but one rescues, are indoor cats. Bowls are washed twice a day before each feeding. Boxes are scooped daily with one going out of commission for cleaning every week. Baking soda is under the littler and sometimes a little more is mixed on top if needed. When I lived with dogs I walked them twice a day taking a good long walk around the neighborhood so they ould get exercise and fresh air. I refer to them as “he” and “she” not “it”.

About: I have a variety of pet experience. Most notably with dogs, I have fostered over 13 dogs in the last several years through Kane's Mission. I am sure to give your dog personalized attention and love and care they deserve! We live in a great walkable community in Shaker Heights. We are happy to take your dog on walks and visits to the park, so they can have a nice vacation too! I can currently adapt to most pet care schedules. I have a flexible schedule from home, and I am here to offer a seamless transition. I have fenced in yard with room to romp around, and I am located in a great walking community with a park nearby. I can also come to you reliably to let your dog out and given home play, social, and exercise time.

“Chris is the best. Consistent, flexible, and easy to communicate with. On multiple occasions, he’s gone above and beyond to handle situations that came up with our dog. He’s always our first choice.”

“Charlotte came to walk my dog three times when my partner was a patient at Cleveland Clinic and I was staying at a hotel nearby. She dealt with some logistical difficulties with the hotel and took care of Ahsoka. She got Ahsoka some exercise and dealt with her reactivity. Her communication was excellent and I could tell Ahsoka had been well-cared for.”

“Thank you Summer!”

“Jackie has been great with our pup. We just moved to Cleveland and needed to go on a sudden trip. Jackie has made us feel like our dog Aria is in great hands for her walks while we are away”

“Jess is the best! She takes the best care of my pup and gives me peace of mind that my little one is getting the care she needs during the day”

“I can’t recommend Sidney highly enough. We found her thru Rover. She really cares about our dog, Buster, and he took to her right away! Thanks Sidney!”

John T.

About: I have 5+ years of experience walking and taking care of dogs, and I’ve loved every second of it. Exercising with a furry friend is always on my agenda! I am currently a full-time student at DePaul University in Lincoln park! I only have a class or two daily, leaving me open weekdays from 8-11 and 5-10! Weekends my availability depends, but I am flexible! I love to exercise and find ways to get my walks in daily, the buddy would just be an added plus! I currently live in a dorm, so any services would need to be provided outside of my residence. Im willing to stay overnights most days, depending on distance to Lincoln park / the loop.

“Brittany has been a great addition to Corbin's routine. She comes daily to walk, feed and play with him. She provides me with super cute pictures and an update on how he did”

Jennifer S.

“I booked Octavia for a last minute walk with my pup and everything was fantastic! We had good communication, she was on time, and she gave a great summary at the end of the walk. I’m adding her to my roster of walkers ASAP.”

Liz M.

“John has been fantastic! Very much appreciate him”

Jeff D.

“Cece is a gem! I think Oliver had the best walk of his life with her. She came exactly on time, spent such good time with him, let him meet neighbors (he's a bit of a local celebrity), and sent amazing photos. His absolute joy was so obvious. Thank you, Cece! We can't wait to have you walk Oliver again.”

About: I am retired, so I have plenty of time and availability to visit, house sit, play, and walk dogs around their neighborhoods or dog parks. I have no problem cleaning/refreshing litter boxes. I care for our two cats, and even though they're both semi-feral, they still need a lot of TLC and attention. Daily food prep, litter box maintenance, and play time. I take care to follow clients' wishes for their loved pets in their homes, including feeding, cleaning, playing, and ensuring the cats and/or dogs are loved and cared for.

“Susan was incredible - she walked our dog Toby every day for a week while we were traveling. She sent pictures each day to keep us up to date and make us miss Toby less. Toby loved playing with her and walking with her. I’d have Susan take care of him any time we travel in future.”

Cindy F.

“Kaley was absolutely wonderful! She cared for my two, very large (and occasionally rambunctious) labradors for two weeks while I was in Pittsburgh for business. I can offer superlatives only for her reliability and her kindness to my boys, who adored her. I recommend her 100%!”
