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.

“Ben arrived on-time for both meet & Greet and pet care for our year-and-a-half-old doodle girl. He was open and friendly and warm with both human and dog. Our puppy warmed to him immediately --they can always tell when people are truly comfortable around them, can't they?!? Ben was communicative throughout the process, and sent photos of our baby to reassure us that she was well. Would definitely contact him again.”

About: I have been a pet owner and a pet sitter for over a decade. I grew up with pugs and now have a very happy, sweet, old boxer/pittie mix named Lou. From 2016-2017, I worked at a dog daycare in New York City, walking pets to and from home and daycare, and managing rooms of dogs of all sizes while they played, ate meals, and were boarded. I am comfortable walking and caring for dogs of all sizes. I love going on long walks as well. I have reliable transportation and am lucky to have a very flexible schedule. I am currently between full-time work as I recently moved back to Cleveland after 7 years in Miami, Florida, so I am very available for your pet care and pet walking needs. I am very comfortable with dogs of all sizes and other pets including hamsters, cats, and birds. I am also comfortable administering medicine as needed, am comfortable crating dogs, and can works with whatever needs your pet may have.

About: While growing up, I fed, watered, played with, and walked our family friends. I even picked up poop! As an adult, I've done it all, from cleaning major messes to administering meds. I love canines and felines of all varieties, from the smallest to the largest! I am available to care for your pet(s) throughout the business day. Although I am also doing some volunteer work, I keep a regular schedule. I will care for your pets according to your express instructions. They will be treated as my own with as much love and concern as I can provide.

About: I love dogs and all animals. I had started a dog-walking/boarding service in downtown Cleveland while I was living at the 9. I had four clients who I worked for daily; I would take the dogs for a walk outside (or if raining, play with dogs at the dog park in the building,) I would clean up after them and change the bedding in their crats daily. If the pet's parents liked to have me take them on a route, they knew I would follow that, and I always follow the rules that the dog was brought up in as not to have bad habits with the parents come home. I know how to put on any harness and what to in emergencies. I love animals and get excited when I see one every time!

She plays with them, is great at communicating with us and sends us lots of photos! It’s so nice to have a trustworthy sitter like Emily to rely on, and we will continue to use her when we travel!”

Mia sent so many superb photos of my kitty having an absolute blast, going on walks, thrashing toys, yawning with satisfaction, and just looking adorable. I'll have to step up my game now or else she'll be begging for Mia to come back. Heartily recommend.
