Dog Sitting Twinsburg

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.

“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: Hello! Ive been taking care of dogs since I was 7 years old. I have loads of experience in walking and sitting for friends and family. Seniors and puppies are welcome!! I work part time, and I am in school part time (I only have one in-person class), so my schedule has many gaps in it. I’ll always greet them, say hello for a minute, Then I’ll let them outside and I’ll make sure they use the restroom. After that, I’ll refill their water and play with them until its time to go, or time for a different activity.

“Randy did a great job taking care of my 2 cats! He was very communicative, respectful and kind. Thank you for keeping my cats happy and healthy :)”

About: I am a caring and dependable dog walker with a genuine love and respect for animals. I currently walk two dogs Tuesday through Friday and have built a strong bond with them. One was shy and barked at me at first, but now happily runs up to greet me—an experience I truly value. I also volunteer at the Humane Society animal shelter, where I help feed cats, clean their cages, and walk dogs. At times, my responsible and gentle 14-year-old son assists me on walks, offering extra attention and care to the dogs. My priority is making sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I currently work as a substitute teacher where I decide what days I want to work. I like to work half days which would be from 11am to 3pm but if a client needs me during that time I can be available during that time. I will make sure to follow any instructions or recommendations from the client concerning the well being of their pet. I typically give the dog daily exercise 4 to 5 times per day. With the owner permission I will take dog to the dog park and keep a watchful eye on the dog at all times there. If I feel another dog is getting aggressive I will immediately remove the dog so nothing escalates.

About: I’ve owned pets ever since i can remember. My family is a big dog family and i have a blue great dane named brooklynn who is also a registered therapy dog. In her age she’s needed lots of special care such as medications, ointments, and assistance getting up from bed so i am equipped to help with whatever your animals need! I am currently in nursing school, but I’m half online and half in person, so i have a ton of extra time throughout my days to come help care for your pets! I understand every pet is unique and requires special attention. I spend as much time as i can getting to know your pet to provide individualized care to best support them.

About: Hello! For my whole life, I’ve been taking care of several family dogs and cats, foster dogs and cats, and for the past 3 years I have a cat of my own! I foster cats, kittens, dogs, and cats whenever I can, and sometimes take care of pets of my friends and family members! I am experienced with taking care of bigger dogs and dogs that are very high energy and excitable as well. I also have experience with giving medicine to dogs and cats. Let me know if you have any questions or concerns, I look forward to hearing from you! I work part time and only have online classes, so my schedule is very flexible. I can always rearrange my schedule to take care of animals if needed. I have a huge fenced yarded for cats and dogs to run around and play. I also have plenty of rooms in my house for animals to stay.

“Nathan did a great job with my pup. She is wary of new people but she warmed up on our meet & greet and seemed to do just fine for his drop in visits. He sent me pictures which I really appreciated and even ventured out on a walk (although she wasn't as enthused). It's obvious he loves dogs and was very responsible and thoughtful. I would recommend him for sure. Thanks again!”

About: I've grown up with animals my whole life, always having a cat and/or dog around! I love my family pets dearly, and since I live far away from them now, I am missing the connection with a furry friend. I have lived with and helped raise my current dog and cat since they were babies all the way to their current old ages. I used to check on my neighbors pets, they had 4 in total--two dogs (one senior), two cats. I would take the dogs outside for bathroom and run around time, as well as feed them lunch. Cats are elusive, so I just made sure they had food and fresh water available. I'd also stay extra time to dole out all the affection the animals needed before mom and dad got home. Currently I care for 8 fish in my 20 gallon fish tank! I'm in college at the moment but my schedule is open in the afternoons/evenings. Monday I have classes at 11 am so I can do a morning check. Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday I spend the morning student teaching so I am available after 1-1:30 pm for checks, Tuesday and Thursday I have a class from 6-7 pm. Friday I have only one commitment from 3-5 pm so I can do morning checks and afternoon/evening checks. Weekends are mostly open, occasionally I have events. I cannot care for your pet in my own home, but I am more than willing to care for your pet in your home. Pets are usually more comfortable with a new person when they are in their own territory. As long as I know the rules for taking care of your pet, I will be able to give you and your pet a positive care experience.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 9 years old, and over the years I’ve looked after the pets of roommates, friends, and family. From energetic puppies to sweet senior dogs, I know how to give each pet the love, patience, and attention they need. I have hands-on experience with puppy training, daily walks, playtime, feeding, and medication if needed. Your dog’s happiness and safety are always my top priorities — I treat every furry friend like they’re my own! I currently work Mondays through Thursdays, but have lots of time in the mornings, evenings, and weekends to care for your pets! My schedule can be flexible which gives me the option to work with the schedule that works best for you and your pets. I care for pets like they’re my own! I follow their usual routines for feeding, walks, playtime, and snuggles so they feel comfortable and happy. In your home, I make sure they get plenty of attention and exercise while keeping things just the way they’re used to. In my home, I provide a safe, cozy space with lots of love and supervision.

About: Hi I’m Sofia, I’ve grown up being the main caretaker of 3 dogs, I have volunteered at dog shelters and I love dogs from all sizes and personalities! For my scheduling, I am a student so my time can be made flexible making my availability pretty open. I am always free on the weekends. I am in a student in a dorm therefore I can board small dogs if needed, I don’t have a roommate that can intervene with the dog(s).

About: Hi! My name is Elle and I have been a dog lover for as long as I can remember! My soul dog, Rory, recently went to heaven- so our home is pet free! I have dogs of all sizes and all different breeds. I have never had problems with any dogs nor had any issues. I feel that I stand out because I have a natural love for dogs and will love your animal like they are my own. I have taken care of dogs of all ages and am comfortable with all of them. I love to be outside, whether it be playing, walking, going on runs, etc. I hope you choose me the next time you are looking for someone to take extra good care of your animals!

“Thanks Molly for taking such good care of the cats! She was even kind enough to be “on call” for a package for me while I was out of town.”

About: With 10+ years of hands-on clinical veterinary experience, combined with a lifetime of growing up around, caring for, and working with animals, I bring over a decade of cumulative experience in veterinary medicine, pet care, and animal husbandry. My experience with animals began long before my professional veterinary career and includes dogs, cats, pigs, chickens, cows, horses, and many other animals. This lifelong connection has given me a deep understanding of animal behavior, care, handling, and well-being that extends far beyond the clinical setting. Throughout my veterinary career, I have consistently pursued continuing education through seminars, conferences, specialized training, and additional coursework to continually expand my knowledge and strengthen my clinical skill set. I have maintained **BLS and ALS CPR certification since 2020** and have been **Fear Free Certified since 2018**, along with holding numerous additional certifications, continuing education achievements, and awards earned throughout my career. The majority of my professional veterinary experience has been concentrated in **surgery, emergency medicine, and intensive care/ICU**, where attention to detail, critical thinking, and the ability to recognize subtle changes in a patient's condition are essential. These experiences have taught me to be highly observant and proactive, with a strong understanding of early warning signs and indicators that may suggest a patient is developing a problem. I take pride in being attentive to the small details that can make a significant difference in an animal's outcome. Pets are my passion, and pet people are my people. I genuinely enjoy building relationships with both animals and their families and believe exceptional veterinary care should be built on compassion, communication, trust, and a little fun along the way. Whether I am caring for a critically ill patient, assisting with surgery, supporting a fearful/nervous pet, or simply making an animal's day a little better, I bring the same level of dedication and enthusiasm to every patient. I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, valued, and well cared for—and every pet parent deserves to know that their beloved companion is in capable, compassionate hands. Your furry family members will receive the highest level of care, attention, and compassion I can provide—and we'll have some fun along the way. I am comfortable and experienced in caring for patients across a wide range of ages, conditions, and levels of acuity. My clinical experience includes the safe administration and management of oral, injectable, and topical medications, as well as monitoring patients receiving ongoing or complex treatment plans. I am comfortable working with advanced and late-stage disease, chronic and complex medical conditions, hospice and end-of-life care, geriatric patients, pediatrics, neonates, and emergency cases. My background in surgery, emergency medicine, and ICU/critical care has strengthened my ability to remain calm and attentive in high-pressure situations while recognizing subtle changes in a patient's condition and responding appropriately. I understand that each patient requires an individualized approach, and I am committed to providing compassionate, thorough, and attentive care whether a patient is recovering from surgery, managing a chronic illness, beginning life as a neonate, facing an emergency, or approaching the end of life. I am equally comfortable providing hands-on nursing care, assisting with treatment plans, communicating observations to the veterinary team, educating and supporting pet parents, and advocating for the patient's comfort and overall quality of life. Pet care has been a huge part of my daily and weekly routine for more than 10 years. Whether I’m working in veterinary medicine or caring for pets in someone’s home, I’m accustomed to making animal care a priority and building it naturally into my everyday routine. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality, habits, routines, and individual needs. For me, providing consistent, attentive care isn’t simply a job—it’s something I’ve built my life around and truly love doing. I approach every pet as an individual and tailor my care to their specific personality, routine, medical needs, and comfort level. Whether I am caring for a pet in my own home or in a client's home, my priority is always to provide a **safe, calm, consistent, and loving environment** that feels as close to their normal routine as possible. I am comfortable caring for pets with a wide range of needs, including puppies and kittens, seniors, anxious or fearful pets, medically complex patients, and animals requiring medications or additional monitoring. I can administer **oral, injectable, and topical medications**, follow detailed feeding and treatment instructions, monitor changes in behavior or condition, and recognize when something may warrant veterinary attention. My background in emergency, critical care, ICU, and surgery has made me particularly attentive to subtle changes that may indicate a problem. When caring for pets in a client's home, I respect that I am also caring for someone's home and follow their instructions closely. I maintain established feeding, medication, exercise, potty, sleep, and enrichment routines whenever possible. I provide regular updates and photos so owners know how their pets are doing and can feel connected while they are away. When caring for pets in my own home, I focus on creating a secure and comfortable environment while considering each animal's temperament, energy level, social preferences, and individual needs. I believe pets shouldn't simply be "watched" while their owners are away—they should receive attention, companionship, enrichment, affection, and quality care. Ultimately, my goal is simple: I want your pets to feel safe, loved, and comfortable, and I want you to have complete peace of mind knowing they are in capable and compassionate hands.

“Brittani is great! Communicates well, takes care of the dog as her own. I always get a little nervous to leave him, but so glad to find someone like Brittani! Will definitely continue to request her for help with my dog!”
