I’ll never use anyone else to look after my bad kitty when I’m away. Totally dependable and my elderly cat has warmed up to Kayleigh. Great photos and notes at each visit.

We could not have had a better experience with Casey caring for our pups! His communication was prompt, he arrived to every visit on time, he sent lots of pics while our dogs were in his care, and was just a rockstar with our three pups. We will definitely reach out to him again and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a pet sitter!

Shadia has been great with Roscoe, he takes a little while to get used to someone new and she was willing to allow him to adjust to her. He seems so happy!

About: I’ve been surrounded by pets my whole life! I’ve had dogs, cats, birds, and a chinchilla that I’ve taken care of. I currently have two German Shepherds and two cats! I will provide patient, personalized care and treat every pet like my own. I understand that every animal has different needs, routines, and personalities, so I will focus on making them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away! I am entering summer break and only have track practices, so I have a lot of available time to make visits! You can also reach out any time, even same-day messages! I have a large front and back yard, and the back is also fenced in for extra safety. My dogs at home are also friendly to have a pet friend! If needed, there are also plenty of rooms in my house to separate animals too.

About: I’ve owned and taken care of dogs and cats for most of my life. My life has been enriched by caring for kittens, puppies, adults, and seniors. I’ve given pills and eye drops to both cats and dogs. I love playing with cats and dogs and seeing them happy! It would be an honor to care for your pet. I’m the owner/operator of a new pet transportation business and have taken care of puppies during 200+ mile trips. This includes giving them water and food, cleaning them and their crate up (if they got carsick ☹️), sitting with them on breaks while they roamed the back of my SUV, and snuggles. I am excited to take care of fur babies at your home or mine! I have two cats of my own, a calico (7 yrs old) and a Siamese mix (6 yrs old), and they are amazing! 😻 I have a fenced in backyard and swimming pool (which can also be fenced off if desired by pet parent). I can feed, water, do short walks, and give medicine or eye drops (to compliant pets). I have 2 cats and am happy to provide care to cat friendly dogs at my home or I can come to yours. I’m available M-F 8-4 and for overnight stays.

About: As a dedicated pet sitter, I don’t just watch pets,I care for them like they’re my own. What sets me apart is the genuine connection I build with every animal I care for, paired with a strong sense of responsibility, reliability, and attention to detail. Im working two holiday part time jobs so my schedule is pretty slow at the moment which means more special time for your fur babies! When you trust me to care for your pet in your home, I treat both your pet and your space with the same respect and love I would my own.

Malorie is incredible to say the least! She is down to earth, extremely personable, communicates well and is easy to talk to, she follows instructions, but most of all is her care for my animals. I have 2 dogs and 2 cats and they absolutely loved her! She treated them as if they were her own. I knew when she was there and when she left, she took a bunch of pictures and is very detail oriented on her notes and any sort of communication with my animals or my house. She handled everything with ease and humor and I felt safe leaving my animals and my house in her care. She was also extremely flexible, reliable, responsible all around. Her sister Alex also pet sits and was an absolute hit with my animals, too. I feel jealous of my animals- I want to hang out with them! Lol ? She is the new fairy dog sitter to my animals and I would recommend her in a heartbeat. Just don’t forget me, Malorie, when you get busy! Lol!

About: Hello! My name is Kelsey and I’m a 28 year old active CT technologist in the Elyria Area. I’ve had dogs my entire life and have helped caring for each of them. I’ve owned four Medium-XL rescue pups so far as well as a bearded dragon! I’m comfortable with any size or breed as I’ve helped care for chihuahuas up to Mastiffs. If you think I’d be a good fit for your pup I’d love to meet them! I’ve also helped care for cats as well and have House sat for others to take care of both dogs and cats. I love all furry friends and would be more than happy to meet and care for yours. I work second shift in the hospital setting and have availability until about 12 pm to care for all the fur babies. I like to start my mornings with a walk with my two pittie mixes and would love to fit yours into that routine as well! It’s important to know the animal(s) you’re working with and what their comfort level is. It’s my job taking care of them to keep them safe and fulfilled.

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover and currently have two dogs and two cats of my own, so caring for pets is part of my everyday life. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your fur babies because I would only want the absolute best care for mine. I have experience with dogs of different sizes, ages, and energy levels. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, administering basic medications, walks, crate routines, playtime, and of course plenty of cuddles. Living with both dogs and cats has also helped me become very attentive to animal behavior and body language, which allows me to keep pets safe, calm, and happy in my care. I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure owners feel comfortable with regular updates and photos. My goal is always to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment while you’re away. Pet care is already a big part of my daily life since I have two dogs and two cats of my own. My day naturally revolves around feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and making sure my pets are happy and comfortable. I do work full time, but my job is very flexible. When I’m booked for pet sitting, I’m able to adjust my schedule or take time off to make sure I can fully focus on the pets in my care. I prioritize reliability and planning so every pet gets the attention and consistency they deserve. My home is clean, pet-safe, and thoughtfully set up to create a calm environment. I remove any hazards, keep floors clear, secure doors and gates, and ensure all pets are supervised at all times. I follow each pet’s routine closely — including feeding schedules, medication needs, exercise, and playtime — so they feel right at home. I understand how important trust is when it comes to your furry family members. I pride myself on being reliable, responsible, and communicative. I provide regular updates, photos, and quick responses so you always know how your pet is doing. Whether your pet loves active play, cozy naps, or extra cuddles, I tailor my care to their personality and needs. My goal is simple: to give you peace of mind and your pet a safe, loving home away from home.
