Pet Sitting in Solon

About: I am a lifelong pet owner with dog-walking experience of up to four dogs at a time. I have administered medications and have nothing but love for the senior pets. I also have experience with cats and small animals like hamsters and large iguanas. I will keep you informed about your pet and make sure I love them as my own! I have current availability for mornings only, between the hours of 9:00am to 12:pm (ish). That will soon increase when my school schedule ends in May. I have no problems giving reports about poo/pee, potty accidents in the home, demeanor of the pet during our time together, etc. I will have bags with me for picking up after your pup(s) on walks if needed. I have a lot of experience with dogs who don't get along with bikes, other people & dogs, and things that are encountered along our route. I work hard to develop a trusting relationship with your pet(s) and to make sure they feel loved at every visit.

“Lorene did a great job taking care of my cat. She was very kind and patient, and took the time to play with my cat and help her slowly get familiar and comfortable with her. I really appreciate her care!”

Thank you so much Halie!!!!”

About: I’ve provided care for animals since I was a young child. Successfully completed a basic dog training course at Alaska SPCA in 2016. My skill ranges from walks to grooming, I’ve got you covered! Currently, I’m working full-time with free availability Sunday through Tuesday! I will require at least a three day notice before the date of booking. Please message me for any questions you may have! I have a balcony and plenty of space for your fur baby to lounge and play. Currently my roommate is an agreeable cat. Chai is pleasant and tolerable to other cats and small dogs.

“Emma is a GEM!! She is responsive, timely, and thoughtful. Most importantly, my 'village idiots' (three dogs and a cat) ADORE her!! We're absolutely smitten and appreciate knowing our lil fur babies are in excellent care when we travel. Thank you, Emma, and see you soon!”

About: growing up with a family dog, i’ve always looked forward to our long walks. since i've moved to care for my grandma & i can’t have a pet at my current home, i’m looking to be the dedicated adventure buddy your pup deserves! i’m an avid walker who cleans up after your pet & loves exploring local parks and trails, and i’m just as comfortable handling a brisk, high-energy trek as i am a slow, 'sniff-heavy' stroll for seniors or four legged friends who love getting distracted! HOT WEATHER: for dog-friendly clients, i am able to provide outings to low stress trips to uncrowded, pet-friendly stores/facilities for stimulation and enrichment (including a potty break outside before and after, of course!) i am also happy to walk earlier/later in the day to avoid the heat as well! i also enjoy keeping pets company in home, whether its playing with toys, using lick mats, or just spending some time together! because i work evening and overnight shifts, i have guaranteed availability every morning and midday for your dog’s routine. whether you need a recurring daily walker or a same-day visit because you’re running late, i'm local and ready to jump in! my current job is closing in a few months, so i’ll be even more available for your schedule soon :) in public, i use a short-leash grip, stay hyper-aware of our surroundings without distractions like phones/technology of any kind (aside from photos, of course!), and avoid unknown dogs to keep your pup protected. i pride myself on being a trustworthy, punctual communicator, providing frequent photo updates so you’re always in the loop. i am very confident in my ability to kennel/leash pets & i consider myself well-versed in administering medication. i am keen when reading animal stress signals, ensuring your pet feels safe and understood under my care! as of early may, i am taking dog training certification courses to better my understanding and confidence in dog training :)

About: My family previously owned well regarded doggy day care. I have also cared for my families pets my whole life, including the birth and care of 3 kittens. I am available in the mornings before 7-8:30am and after 4pm-5pm depending on the day Monday-Saturday. I will know the exact times the Saturday prior to the upcoming week. I am available all day Sundays. I would love to stop in and take care of your pets. I have my own car and a history of successful employment. I currently take care of my one cat and a dog. I will you show your fur babies the love and care I shown my own.

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.

About: I am a dedicated and reliable dog walker with a passion for pets and years of experience caring for all types of dogs. I offer fun, safe, and personalized walks that are tailored to each dog’s needs, energy level, and personality. Whether it’s a leisurely stroll for a senior dog or an energetic adventure for a puppy, I make sure every dog has a great time and gets the exercise and attention they I currently work part time and would love to fill up my schedule. I am available Thursday and Fridays for drop ins and dog walks. During my walks ins I’ll make sure the dog is happy and healthy with lots of play, walks, food and water if needed. I can also update you with photos of the dog!

“Ben is the kindest, most diligent, pet sitter ever! He’s passionate in his love of animals. I want to give him the best review possible, but I also want to keep him all to myself .”

“Megan took care of my boy perfectly! He takes meds and can be fussy, but she handled that task beautifully. This was Megan's first visit and I could not be more happy! Thank you for taking care of my boy as if he is your own!”

About: I live in an apartment at Kent State and am back and forth from Solon in the summer! My dog at my parents 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! I live in a pet friendly apartment with a nice outside area. 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!

“Lisa did a great job on her first couple of drop ins for my dog. She was very flexible and accommodating, even when I had to change some visit times on her last minute. It’s clear she cares about animals and was very communicative during drop ins, which I really appreciate. I would definitely recommend Lisa and will be using her again.”

About: Passionate animal care specialist with 20+ years in veterinary and hands-on pet care. I began working in animal care and animal medicine in 2003, starting at a single doctor veterinary practice and later gaining experience in shelters, training, foster care, and multi-doctor clinics with animals of all sizes. I’ve cared for animals at every life stage, from bottle fed puppies to senior pets requiring extra patience and support. I’ve had my 16 year old dachshund since she was a puppy and hand-raised her, fostered high energy shepherd/border collie and her puppies and adopted one of the puppies 6 year ago, and a few kitties, so I’m very comfortable meeting both gentle senior needs and active, exercise-focused routines. I hold a BS in Wildlife Conservation & Management and currently care for seven animals of my own, which has reinforced how important individualized, attentive care is for every pet. I would love to help meet your needs and help care for your animals of all ages, sizes, and energy levels. I just recently moved to the Solon, Ohio area (willing to travel but distance does adjust price). Field work season is here, so my schedule is limited to evenings (5pm- 9pm) and weekends (excluding Sundays, for now, but if you are heading out of town for a weekend ask I may be able to fit you in). I could stop in for a quick lunch time break (outside, walk & or snack) while you are at work, or if you are traveling and need someone to check a few times a day to feed & walk while you are gone, I am here for you (not currently available for overnight stays sorry). Please let me know what your needs are, timeframes, and neighborhood & see if could be a match for you and your pets needs. I can assure you I will keep your animal safe during my visits. Before heading out for walks I will make sure your pet is secured properly in either harness or collar leads, if I am letting them out and playing with them in your yard, I will check all gates to make sure they are secure and will not let you pet leave my site during visits. I can help with reinforcement of basic commands if you are working on that. Unfortunately, I am not currently offering boarding but may do so in the future.

“I needed help last minute. Savannah was more than willing to help and responded quickly. She took tons of pics of my boy and adjusted to our needs. I will be contacting her again.”

About: I am a true animal lover and if I could take home all the animals at the shelter, I would! I grew up with dogs and have dog sat for a handful of neighbor dogs. I have volunteered at animal shelters and am always willing to walk or sit for my friends or families' pets. I love all different sizes, shapes and breeds! For dogs that are not able to walk long distances, due to disabilities or other reasons, I am more than happy to cuddle and spend time with them at home! I’m currently searching for a new job so I have a lot of time to play, walk, and cuddle with your dog (if your dog enjoys that)! I make sure I meet all my clients before the first official day working with their dog. I go over all important basics and question, and follow any specific protocols or rules that have.

About: I have been a pet owner and animal lover my entire life. I have owned dogs, cats, a bird, and fish. I have years of experience pet sitting for neighbors, family, and friends where they have relied on me to feed, walk, entertain, brush, and bathe their dogs. I enjoy getting to know and interacting with all animals and can’t wait to get to know yours! I am currently on my summer break from college, so I have a fairly flexible schedule and availability to walk, pet sit, and board your pets! I provide loving and attention care in both my home and my client’s home, by making pets feel safe and comfortable. I make sure to provide multiple walks a day and give plenty of time for play.
