“Amy was absolutely fantastic with my three cats while we were away for over a week. She was always on time, sent great pictures, was communicative, played with them each visit and really knew their personalities a few days in! I made a mistake with my dates and realized I would be back the day after I intended and Amy was exceptionally flexible with date changes and took care of my babies an extra day, which I’m so grateful for. We came home to three well fed, taken care of, happy and playful cats! Highly recommend Amy to take care of your furry babies!”


“Kayla took such good care of my pup! It was so nice not to have to worry while I was gone. Kayla provided pics and a helpful update for each visit, which I so appreciated. I’d highly recommend her for any of your pet sitting needs!”


“Courtney has taken care of my daughter’s pets when we travel for the last few years, and for our recent trip she came to take care of my kitty too. She took such good care of him and goes the extra mile with notes and photos daily, it gave me such peace of mind! I couldn’t recommend her more highly!”


“Liani was amazing! We were away for 10 days on vacation satin & the highlight of our days was to get our Rover reports & pictures. Our cats were happy & our house was perfect when we returned. My girls say she is a cat whisperer since even our crankiest of cats seemed to love Liani. Highly recommend her!”


“Abby is amazing! She was timely and thorough with her visits and reporting. She was attentive to my baby’s needs and when he needed more play time and attention. She sent plenty of updates and pics of my Bentley smiling! :-) This was our first time using this service and I couldn’t have gotten a better person”


“Beth was absolutely wonderful ! She was very responsive when I asked to talk with her on the phone before setting up the Meet and Greet. After meeting with her, we felt extremely comfortable having her take care of our precious Corky. It is obvious she has a great love for animals and is concerned about their well-being. We look forward to using Beth again. And Corky would love it, too !”


“Ben really helped us out when we were in a bind for Christmas. He sent us a ton of pictures of warner which we love. He spent time with both our cat and dog, which wasn’t required, but he went above and beyond. We are so grateful! Thank you Ben!!”



“Gay did a fabulous job taking care of our 3 kitties this past week!!! We felt extremely comfortable being out of town. Gay is terrific and we highly recommend her for checking in on your fur babies!!”


“Joel is awesome. Super nice guy, good communicator, easy to work with & has taken great care of our pup. Gives solid updates at the end of each visit. He goes above and beyond while dropping in at your house. For example - our dog got into our garbage before one visit & Joel cleaned up all the trash off the floor. We appreciate the care he takes in looking after our pup as well as our home. Definitely recommend!”


“Alisa is a fantastic new friend to my pups! We had a lovely meet and greet with her - she is clearly an animal lover which made me feel comfortable for her drop in, friendly, and professional. During her drop in, she listened to all of my instructions, gave my dogs company and love while I was at work, and gave me very detailed feedback and photos on how they did. I came home to two happy dogs and we will look forward to having Alisa come play again!”


“Barb took care of our 4 cats daily for about two weeks. She immediately bonded with them during our pre-trip meet and greet! One of them even brought her a mouse to play fetch! She sent daily kitty reports, pictures, and feedback. We had a great experience with Barb and highly recommend her!”


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.


“Did very well the first time that I requested her again! Great communication per last review, on time and sent me a picture of my little pup! 🙂 Definitely much appreciated!”


“Beth was wonderful! She came twice a day to feed/water/scoop for our two kitties while we were away. We received lots of updates and photos. The cats loved her and we were very happy with her care.”


“I really appreciate how communicative Erin was while I was away. This was my first time doing this and my experience was great. She was great with my kitty and made me feel at peace leaving him.”


About: I’ve had all sorts of pets since I was born such as cats, dogs, guinea pigs, chickens, ducks, fish, a lizard, hermit crabs, and a turtle. I love to take care of stray cats and have two rescues of my own. My mom was a dog trainer when I was young and worked in a veterinary clinic so I saw a lot of behind the scenes care for animals! I will care for basically any type of pet. I currently have full availability on weekdays and weekends! I will be less flexible in the coming month once I start work full time but will keep my profile updated :) I am not currently able to watch pets within my home but I have a safe and spacious apartment with all the necessities needed for pets especially cats as I have my own. I have the space to separate pets for any reason in different rooms as well. My cat has a million toys, a giant cat tree, water fountain and multiple bowls, multiple litter boxes, activated charcoal in case of toxic emergencies, and lots of scratching posts. I have dog sat for friends and my cat does well with them!

About: Hi! I am a life long dog lover with a deep passion for pups of all ages, breeds, and size. I have taken care of and owned dogs my entire life - walking, boarding, taking to vet appointments, daily check-ins, playing, and just spending quality time. I also volunteer at PAWS Chicago, where I have had the privilege of taking care of , and even fostering dogs in need of temporary care and rehabilitation. When your dog is in my care rest assured they will be treated and cared for like family. I’m so excited to meet your pup and give them all the love in the world!!! I’m currently waiting on a start date for my new job, so I have full availability and can be as flexible as needed for walking and boarding! I am able to come to your home, or can have your pet at mine. I have a spacious house on 1 acre located in the beautiful and extremely walkable Chagrin Falls Village.
