About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and grew up helping care for my own pets, taking on a larger role in their daily routines about six years ago. Over the past two years, I’ve also provided reliable pet and house sitting for family and friends. Through these experiences, I’ve become comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and pet transportation. I have experience with both small and large dogs (growing up with a miniature sheltie and a black lab)! As the families I’ve provided pet care services for have grown, I also have gained experience providing care for senior dogs. I treat every pet like my own and aim to make them feel comfortable while you’re away! I am currently a graduate student and GA at John Carroll, so I am only away from 12-5 Tuesday- Friday, so I have a very flexible schedule to take care of your pets while you’re at work or away! I also am available almost always on weekends for walks and check ins. When caring for pets in a clients home, I focus on keeping their routines as consistent as possible. I am attentive to detailed instruction and preferences, and take safety very seriously. I am mindful of keeping doors and gates secure, monitoring pets during walks or outdoors, and making sure their (and your) space stays clean and safe. I respect your home just as much as your pet, and I make sure to communicate regularly with updates for your peace of mind.

“Lauren was a sweetheart with our senior dog Baltazar. She stay with him while my husband and I went to a concert. We can't leave him alone for long periods of time and knowing that he was being watched, was a tremendous relief for us. We're thankful to her and we'll look for Lauren on our next visit to Cleveland, Ohio. I encourage you to do the same, she's an excellent dog sitter and your fur four legged baby will be in great care. Thank you Lauren!!!”

About: I’m a champion for human & pets alike. Familial animals have been apart of my life since I was a young child & the subsequent years into my adulthood. I’ve assisted in the basic obedience training of 10+ dogs both in youth & elder-hood; temporarily lived with anxious pups whilst their parents traveled out of state; & I’ve formed genuine bonds with clients’ pets that I’ve routinely walked & tended to for years now. I’ve departed from traditional 9 to 5 employment to commit myself full-time towards the enriching of relations between all living beings, in particular, one Pet/Parent client at a time! Pet caregiving, dog handling & house sitting are my full-time job! Which fortunately means I’ve got quite a fluid weekly schedule capable of integrating a broad range of client scenarios. Mondays & Tuesdays between 9am and 9pm are my most flexible hours — services needed Wednesday thru Friday can be readily accommodated during our initial consultation. For clients interested in Boarding services - my home is a decently sized, fully furnished apartment with climate control functionality. During their stay with me your pets are welcome to languor however they normally would at home. I strive to make the stay as comfortable as possible for your pets whilst honoring whatever caregiving conditions/training you may request. If house-sitting your home is preferred, you can feel confident that your residence & loved-ones will be tended to with exemplary care & that upon your return home, it will be in the exact same or better condition than when you’d left it!

“We had a wonderful experience with them! We really enjoyed meeting them beforehand and felt very comfortable having them care for our dogs. There were a couple of small communication details to work through at the beginning, but they were very resourceful and everything came together smoothly. They took our dogs on walks, kept them company, and gave them lots of attention. We came home to happy, well-cared-for pups and would absolutely have them watch our dogs again!”

“Devaney took the time to get to know our pets prior to pet sitting for us. She was able to form a positive relationship with our Boerbel, who is very untrusting of strangers. She took excellent care of our dogs, cats, other animals, and house. She sent text updates every day with pictures and videos. We will definitely hire Devaney again, and highly recommend her to others.”

“Lee was a fantastic caretaker for our 2 Labradors. One of our dogs is very shy and Lee took the time to connect with her. She was very dependable and was in constant communication with us about how they were doing. She stayed in our home and when we returned, Lee had taken the time to tidy up before we returned with some light cleaning. I would highly recommend Lee.”

About: Hi, My most recent experience has been long term care for friends and families dogs. I offer to walk dogs multiple times a day, as well as check in multiple times a day. I also offer personalized behavioral training a recommendations. I have particular experience with behavioral issues like separation anxiety and difficulties walking on a leash and getting overwhelmed with various stimuli. Previously, I fostered large dogs with behavioral issues for the SPCA for 5 years. I have experience with dogs that are reactive, anxiety ridden and once with medical issues. I fostered the dogs until the issues are either managed or resolved and they are ready for adoption. I have experience primarily with large dogs. I am used to long walks and hikes with dogs. I primarily keeps dogs on leash but in the right circumstances I will let them off leash. However, I am very picky. I am open to walking l, check-ins and boarding. I’m in class a few times a month and working 1-2 days a week so I have times of availability to care for your pup. Thank you for considering me, Celine I’m a graduate student with minimal in class time so I have plenty of time to play and cuddle your pup. I love long walks and play time. I enjoy finding engaging activities that keep them mentally stimulated. I would like to get a sense of your pup and aspects of their care that are most important to you. This could be frequency of walking, caring for behavioral issues or simply giving them lots of cuddles. I can be in your hole where your pup is most comfortable or bring them to mine.

Joseph was awesome! He sent over updates and photos throughout our trip and was quick to communicate back to us when we had any questions. He did overnight and was so respectful of our space (he even pulled the sheets off the bed and threw stuff into the washer, which was so nice). Our dog loved him, and we enjoyed seeing their interactions on our ring camera. We came home to a very happy dog and will absolutely try to grab Joseph to book again for any future trips.

Alia was amazing, she made sure to give me daily updates and pictures. She was even willing to add an additional drop by visit when our return time changed to make sure our dogs and cats were properly cared for while my husband and I were away for a week. The house was all cleaned up and she even went beyond what we asked of her!
