About: I’ve always been a pet person- my dad is a veterinarian and we’ve lived with many dogs, cats and other animals throughout the years. I am well versed in caring for dogs of all sizes, as well as cats, reptiles, and backyard chickens. I am a very calm and patient person, and if your pet is on the shyer side, I will take as much time as they need to adjust to me. My schedule is fairly flexible, and I can usually stay with pets for several hours during the day. If I cannot stay for long periods of time, I aim to stop by at least 2-3 times per day to check on everything/let dogs out. When letting dogs out, I closely monitor them, and if the yard allows, I will give them plenty of outside time. If there is a suitable area near your home, I don’t mind driving dogs short distances for walks. My car is fairly small, so I will probably have a limit of 2 medium sized dogs that can fit in it.

About: I have over two decades of experience as a pet sitter for clients and friends. Dogs staying with me can expect lots of attention, love and walks. As a devoted companion to your companion you can expect responsive communication, care the way you request it and flexibility in scheduling. I am happy to work with pets who have quirks or special needs and am experienced in giving medication, including insulin. I am available 24/7 and will let you know in advance if there is a scheduling conflict, as far as days or time of day; I can be flexible if your schedule varies or if you extend or shorten your time away. Your pet is my priority. We will take frequent walks and spend the day together; happy to reinforce training, work on socialization, whatever is helpful for you. Care is centered around the needs of each pet, keeping to your pet's routine. My home is a ranch home (one level) with a large yard, nestled in a quiet area free of traffic and perfect for long or short walks. My house is clean and safe and I am set up and happy to do baths, shampoo and conditioner with a blow dry. Care is centered around your pet's routine. Dogs staying here leave happy and perhaps a bit spoiled.

“Thank you so much. See you next time”

“We hired Gianna for a couple drop in visits with our 3 dogs. They have very different personalities, and some potential reactivity, but she had no issues whatsoever caring for the 3 boys! She was excellent at following our instructions, and we would highly recommend her in the future!”

About: With seven years of experience, I provide reliable, loving care for pets, including feeding, walking, and administering medications! Your pets will be in good hands!! I am currently an undergraduate student at Tri-C. I schedule feeding, walking, and playtime to ensure pets’ needs are met consistently! Flexibility and time management allow me to provide loving, attentive care while balancing other responsibilities! I live in a neighborhood and my Golden Retriever is trained with an electric fence. I have worked with clients who have electric fences, a tie out in their yard, or have simply walk their pets to use the bathroom. I am open to anything!

“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!”

About: I’ve always loved animals and enjoy giving pets the attention, care, and companionship they deserve. I’m comfortable caring for pets in their home, taking dogs on walks, and stopping by throughout the day for meals, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of love. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I’m happy to follow your instructions to keep them comfortable and on schedule. Whether your pet needs an energetic walk, some company while you’re away, or a little extra attention at home, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. I’m reliable, communicative, and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away. **For first time visits please book at least 3 days in advance so we can make sure we can schedule a meet & greet** I work remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be available for walks, drop-ins, and house sitting throughout the day. I’m able to work my pet-care schedule around my meetings and work responsibilities, and I’m happy to coordinate with your pet’s routine and needs. I’m especially flexible for daytime walks and drop-ins, as well as house sitting when needed. I’ll always make sure I have plenty of time to give your pet the attention, exercise, and companionship they need while still keeping up with my work commitments. I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their usual routine. I’m happy to follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medication, playtime, and any other special needs or preferences. Since I work remotely, I’m able to be flexible and provide plenty of companionship throughout the day while working around my meeting schedule. For walks and drop-ins, I’ll make sure your pet gets exercise, attention, potty breaks, and plenty of love. For house sitting, I’ll keep their routine as consistent as possible and make sure they’re never without the care and companionship they’re used to. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.

About: I always loved animals. They come second hand in my life. I always take good care of my pets. I have a dog as well I currently delivery drive and I’m also in school. I work once a week and school once a week as well. That is the only time I have a second room and a porch to separate the pets. I have a gate at my dog as well. I have lots of supplies

“Lindsey is amazing with our shy little girl. Very patient and sends us updates so we know everything is good!”

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.

“Takia has been absolutely amazing! She checked in on my dog for 5 days and always sent multiple photos daily with paragraph updates. My dog needed oral meds daily and she was able to give with no issue at all! She even added cuddles with my pup as a cherry on top! Thank you Takia for the kind loving care towards my best friend. We will definitely be returning customers 🐶❤️”

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! I work remotely and can accommodate anything! I follow every schedule the babies have and I leave home as it was (or even more clean.) I also am very much understanding and will not go into any room with doors closed or anything without asking! I work from home and I am very responsible and consistent with my schedule! I am accommodating and follow ALL house rules and your babies are my first priority!

“This is the second time we've booked with Makenna, and I'm yet again a happy customer! She's done a house sitting and drop in visit with fantastic through updates. I feel relieved she's taking such great care of my dog and cat.”

About: I currently have a Labrador Retriever and a cat, and before them I raised a golden retriever who lived to 11. I’m close to the MetroParks, so even without a fenced yard there’s plenty of opportunity for long walks and fresh air. I believe a calm dog is a happy, well‑behaved dog, and I make sure every pup gets the exercise and attention they need. I know it can be stressful leaving your dog in a new environment. My goal is to put your mind at ease so you can fully enjoy your vacation or event. I’ll send regular updates and photos so you always know how your pup is doing. I’m dedicated to making animals feel at home—just like I hope for my own pets when I’m away. I work from home three days a week, which gives me plenty of flexibility for walks and attention throughout the day when the weather is nice. I’m also home on weekends, so your pets will have consistent company and care. I have a friendly dog and cat to keep your fur baby company. I can crate your dog easily if needed. I am in an apartment, but there’s convenient side walks and paths for taking bathroom breaks multiple times per day.

About: What sets me apart is my hands-on experience and genuine care for animals. I had my own pets until I was 17, and I’ve also cared for my family’s pets during week-long trips, which gave me experience with daily routines like feeding, walks, playtime, and making sure they stayed comfortable and happy. I’m currently home from college and working remotely with a flexible schedule, so I’m available at any time during the day as long as I’m given advance notice. For dog walks and drop-ins, I make sure each pet is safe, comfortable, and getting the attention they need. During walks, I focus on keeping dogs active, following any routines the owner prefers, and making sure they stay hydrated and safe. For drop-ins, I can feed pets, refill water, give them playtime, let dogs out for bathroom breaks, clean up after them if needed.

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.

“Rebecca took great care of Wilkie she took pictures, an communicated well. I would would rebook”

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life. Taking care of Rocky for the past 5 years has been very special. Looking forward to meeting your pets and helping where I can! I’m currently a grad student seeking part time work. By profession, I am a teacher and researcher and I find solace and joy caring for others. Safety and trust are important to me. Just as I would expect for Rocky, I would care for your pet as my own with dignity and respect.
