6. Samantha C.
“Sam is the BEST! She watched our 3 dogs while we were on vacation for 10 days. She’s a natural with animals, they all immediately loved her. She was so calm and confident that she would be fine with the 3 of them and she was. She kept in touch with us while we were away, sent photos and made us feel so comfortable. Upon return home the house was neat and clean, and all of the dogs were clearly loved and spoiled while we were away. We quickly booked her for our next trip!”

8. Dave W.
“I can heartily recommend Dave as a pet caregiver. He is reliable and responsible, with decades of experience caring for his own family of canines and felines.”
9. Isaac W.
“Isaac is an excellent pet caregiver- especially with our special needs dog! He pays great attention to our two Frenchie's and they always love when he comes to visit. Isaac is very responsible and attentive to our dog's needs. Our one dog requires medication multiple times a day as well as regular cleaning of his ears and tail. When I return from trips, it is like I was home and caring for my dogs rather than a caregiver. I cannot say enough good things about Isaac's pet care and I trust him fully with my two French bulldogs.”

11. Shannon & Terrence E.
“Shannon is an amazing and experienced dog owner. We lived together with our two dogs, while constantly having other dogs in the house. She grew up with minimum two dogs in the home at all times as well!! I would trust her with my own animals, and always recommend her to people asking in regards to pet sitting. She has a clean home and a big back yard!”

14. Sarah M.
About: I’ve always lived with cats and dogs and have always had a special place in my heart for all animals. I graduated in veterinary assistance in 2019 and work at an animal hospital! I currently work almost 10 hour days so if your pup is not OK being alone that long I might not be a good fit for them! I would love to pet sit on the side as well as take any pet for walks! I see your pet as family and will treat them as so, making sure they don’t go hungry, cold or lonely! I have volunteered at my local shelter walking and helping with dogs and cats as well. I can even simply check in on any reptiles and smaller furry friends like hamsters and bunnies as well! I have experience with fur babies who have anxiety, cancer, joint problems, seizures and much more, with that being said I am experienced in having to give medications and pay extra close attention! Please don’t hesitate to contact me! I would love to meet your fur baby!!! ❤️

18. Delaina M.
“Delaina took great care of my dog over the Christmas weekend. It was comforting to know that if I wanted to see him she was willing to video call me. I will definitely reach out to her whenever I'm visiting Cleveland because I know that my Duke is in good hands when staying with her.”
19. Kaitlin T.
“Kate is a wonderful loving person who treats her dogs like children. She is always there for fun walks and toy time. She has taken care of two dogs with pneumonia buy making sure all the meds were given on time even if she had to set an alarm and wake up at 2 or 3am. She has never met a dog that she didn't like and the same goes for the dogs that meet her in the street or the park. She is a naturally giving and loving person who knows that dogs are definitely part of the family and treats them all with love. Her training as a teacher truly shines through as she has what seems like unlimited patience. Definitely recommend her!”
20. Preston C.
About: I am a lifetime dog owner. Majority of my experience has been raising medium to large dogs. Have experience with other family dogs that are small. Raised 4 of my dogs from puppy stages. Would want to take care of your dogs the same way I expect others to take care of mine while I am away. My widest availability is on weekends but can check on your pets on evenings if determined by appointment during the week. As a dog owner I am used to the multiple potty breaks and walks needed for animals. The more detail you can provide on how you care for your animals, the better I can match that expectation of what your dogs routine will be. I am happy to accommodate all reasonable requests as needed.
