“Summer was very flexible and accommodated unforeseen circumstances. She really treated Teddy like her own. He appeared to be right at home. Thank you for taking care of him.”

“Amazing dog sitter, would highly recommend. You can really tell that she and her husband care and love the dogs so much. So glad and reassured that Miso was in their hands for a week and had so much fun. Would book again for future trips!”

“Stacie and Doug were amazing. My dog has several medications she needs to take throughout the day and she is older. They were wonderful about keeping me updated on her stay with them. It really gave me peace of mind as I was on vacation. I will be booking with them again soon …highly recommend Stacie and Doug.”

“She did a great job and my usually very shy and scared cat warmed up to Stephanie and her family fairly quickly! I have nothing but good things to say about her. Also, she was very flexible on the pick up time and I couldn’t be more appreciative. Highly recommend to use her for your animal sitting needs!”

Sahsha F.

“AMAZING!!! First of all even before how amazing these two are - they are right he the airport. About them: I knew my pups were so happy the entire time they were there. I received so many great pictures and little stories about their day. These two were so enthusiastic about loving my dogs and letting me know. Sarah even works from home some days so you know your pups are happy 24/7. My dogs just got home and they are completely passed out so I know they were active and happy. I highly recommend Brendan and Sarah.”

Lyndsay D.

“Jenna has been amazing, she took good care of Sparkie and send me pictures often. Definitely recommend her to small dog owners for a sleep over!”

Anran L.

“I am so pleased with my dog sitting experience with Karin! We were really comfortable during the meet and greet. Karin took the time to ask questions about Sonnie, and Sonnie and Chubb interacted and played like they had already met. This was my first time leaving Sonnie with her, and 2 minutes after I left she sent me a note and picture, putting me at ease immediately. She communicated and sent pictures a few times a day. She goes above and beyond and I will definitely use her services again (if/when she is available)!”

Barb N.

“Mike was very welcoming and it was obvious our pups loved the peaceful and relaxing atmosphere of Mike’s house and his demeanor. I highly recommend Mike to watch your dog(s).”

Patrice S.

“Keeley is amazing with my large Bernedoodle, Nori. She has stayed at her home multiple times for extended periods while my family is out of town. Nori gets plenty of exercise in the big yard and is happy as can be to come back again and again. 😊”

About: As a lifelong animal lover, I understand that pets are family, and I strive to provide the same level of care, attention, and patience that I would want for my own. My background in healthcare has taught me how to be responsible, detail-oriented, and attentive to the unique needs of every individual, skills that translate naturally to pet care. I am comfortable caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies who need patience and consistency to senior dogs who may require a gentler pace and extra attention. Whether it's daily walks, drop-in visits, feeding, administering oral medications, reinforcing basic training, or simply providing companionship, I prioritize your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness. I am currently a Master's student in Medical Physiology at Case Western Reserve University, which has helped me develop strong time-management, responsibility, and organizational skills. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals as a balance to my studies. Despite a busy academic schedule, I am very intentional about managing my time and maintaining commitments. Whether it's morning walks, midday drop-in visits, evening care, or weekend sitting, I enjoy incorporating pet care into my routine because it allows me to spend time outdoors and connect with animals while helping pet owners have peace of mind. Caring for pets is something I genuinely enjoy, and I treat every pet with patience, attentiveness, and compassion. As someone pursuing a career in healthcare, I value reliability, clear communication, and attention to detail, and I bring those same qualities to caring for your furry family members. I am committed to ensuring pets feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client's home, I prioritize maintaining their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure while their owner is away. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any specific preferences or needs. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and mental stimulation while also keeping their environment clean and safe. If providing care in my own home, I would ensure pets have a safe, clean, and comfortable environment with plenty of supervision, exercise, fresh water, and opportunities for play and rest. My goal is always to make pets feel as relaxed and loved as possible, whether they are in their own home or mine.

“Carla was great ! My dog came back happy and excited. My dogged seem to like carla a lot ! She updated me every step of the way with pictures of walking and playing with my dog.”

Amonte C.

“Jennifer and her husband were very nice to us and our dog, Penny. She was very flexible when we decided to have her watch Penny. She kept us updated all day, everything Penny did, which was very appreciated, especially when they treated our dog as their own. Jennifer her husbaned were very flexible when we decided to drop off Penny early in the morning at 7:30 AM and picked her up at 11:40 PM. Jennifer was very nice and we really appreciated Penny’s stay with her. We would let Penny stay with her again. Will definitely contact her if we need someone to watch Penny. Thank you!!!”

Shiela D.

“Lynn was an amazing caregiver for my Chloe. She boarded there a whole week and I was very comfortable with her care. It was wonderful to travel and not have to worry. She texted me every day with updates and sent pictures and videos. She even washed all of Chloe‘s bedding!! which is so appreciated. She has a lovely spacious home and a huge fenced in backyard.I would highly recommend Lynn and hope to use her again.”

“This is the second time Mariia has watched Kodi. She is great as usual, highly recommend her! Will continue to ask for her help when I am on business trips!”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for both cats and dogs. I grew up around cats and have been a dog owner myself for the past 5 years, in addition to regularly caring for friends’ dogs. I work a 9–5 job from home, which means your pet gets plenty of company throughout the day rather than being left alone for hours. I’m also able to take dogs on an extended walk during my lunch break, so they can get some exercise, fresh air, and attention in the middle of the day. Whether your pet needs a long walk, some playtime, a cozy companion while you’re away, or just a little extra TLC, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. I’m dependable, attentive, and happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and preferences. Most importantly, I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets in someone else’s care. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for! My weekly routine is pretty consistent, which is great for dogs who love having a predictable schedule! Every workday I start each morning with a trip to the gym, then come home and take the pups on a nice, extended walk through the Metroparks near my house. Once we’re home, I settle into work for a few hours while the dogs get some downtime. I have a fenced-in yard, so I like to let them out regularly throughout the morning to stretch their legs, sniff around, and get some fresh air. Lunchtime means another extended walk! It’s a great way to break up the workday and give everyone a chance to burn off some energy. Afterward, my own dog usually settles in for a well-earned afternoon nap while I finish up work. Once the workday wraps up, we usually head outside for one more walk before settling in for the evening. If everyone’s feeling a little less energetic, we’ll skip the walk and have some backyard fun instead, such as fetch, tug-of-war, or just general goofing around. Basically, your pup can expect plenty of exercise, fresh air, playtime, and company throughout the day, with lots of opportunities to relax and recharge too. As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to feel confident that your dog is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. My goal is to provide a comfortable, low-stress home environment where pups can feel like part of the family. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely get outside for fresh air and playtime, along with plenty of opportunities for walks and exercise throughout the day. Since I work from home, I’m also around to keep an eye on things and make sure everyone is doing well. For daycare and boarding, I’m happy to follow your dog’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, crate time, and any other preferences or house rules you provide. I’ll also make sure dogs have time to relax and nap when they need a break from all the excitement. When introducing dogs to my home, I prioritize compatibility and a gradual introduction so everyone feels comfortable. I want every pup staying with me to feel safe, supervised, and genuinely at home, not like they’re being dropped off somewhere unfamiliar.

“I never have to worry about my dog when she is with Kimberly. She’s great about sending pictures and videos so that I can see how my dog is doing. My dog has never looked stressed in any of the pictures at Kimberly’s, and that is unusual for my tender hearted dog! I will continue using Kimberly as long as she’s available!!”

“I know that biscuit had a good time and being taken care of really good. He is content and happy when i picked him up. I will definitely call them again if biscuit needed to be watched again. Thank you so much.”

Jane B.

“We’re really happy with Debra and how she handled everything for our dog while we were out of town. We arranged for a meetup before the stay to ensure this would be a good match. When I dropped off our dog there was an introduction to the other pets in her home so our pup could get acclimated. While we were away we received daily updates with photos and it looked like our pup was having a great time. Thanks for taking good care and we look forward to scheduling with you again!”

Bobby B.

“My dog, Lola, enjoyed Thanksgiving week with Samantha and I’ve already booked the Christmas holiday week for her. That’s high praise for Samantha’s positive style & work ethics. ***** 5 stars!”

Beverly O.

“Thankyou so much for taking care of Lucky. You are the the best. I had no worries leaving my little Lucky with you. Sent me pictures every day to keep me updated on how Lucky was doing. I Would 100% definitely rebook again.”
