“Avery is awesome! They dropped in to make sure our cat had some company and food while we went on a last minute trip. They also watered our garden and brought in some packages that arrived when we were away! Great communication and photos to put us at ease. Thanks Avery!!”


“Jackie was incredibly responsive to my messages. She is kind, respectful and caring. I had no doubt my 8-week old new puppy was well taken care of when Jackie dropped in for a visit.”


“Diane did a fantastic job with our dog, Maggie, even when Maggie had a tough first day being crated and shredded her bed. Will definitely hire Diane again. Easy to communicate with and took great care of our pooch.”

“Angela was fantastic! She came over to meet us and our pets and exchange information prior to our weekend away. She followed our directions, spent quality time with our pets, gave lots of feedback (which is really important to us) and photos, and left the house in good condition. We will definitely be using her services again. Can't say enough good things about our experience!”
“Elinor was amazing! She just love cats! The way she connected with our boys was just impressive! They loved her since the first day!! For us it was a relief, knowing that they liked her! Every time she played with them, gave a lot of pets!! That makes a difference. And she took care of my plants and tomatoes :) I wont hesitate to book with her again! Cause I know that our boys will be in good hands!!!! I only have good things to say about her!!! I appreciate all she has done while we were gone on vacations!”

“I can’t say enough good things about Lauren. She was able to charm my very shy cat into letting her give him his inhaler and pill! We will definitely be using her services again.”

“Alexis cared for my cats while I was out of town. One is particularly shy and nervous, and she came out with Alexis which I think says something! She was communicative and easy to plan with!”

“We always travel peacefully knowing our pups are in good hands! She provides thoughtful and loving reports and pictures that always make our day. Thanks so much!”


“Charlotte was incredibly efficient, always arriving on time and following my instructions. Communication was a breeze; she kept me updated with photos and messages, which put my mind at ease while I was away. Most importantly, my dog absolutely loves her! He was happy and well cared for, I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!”

“Octavia is great! Very professional & responsive. She took care of our cat when he got sick while we were away and was accommodating to help us navigate that anxiety. Will definitely be using her for cat sitting again”

“We are so grateful to Mary for taking good care of our cats! We were gone for 2 weeks and Mary checked in on our kitties every day. She was very attentive to them, provided updates, and provided great care.”

About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was about 6. I’ve grown up with both small and large dogs, specifically Golden Retrievers, Labs, and Boston Terriers. I have cared for my dogs as well as other other people’s. Hi! I’m Sydney! I am a law student at Case Western and am living in Little Italy. I love going on walks and would love to walk dogs as part of my daily routine. My weekends are relatively quiet, making me a good fit for in home dog care! I will care for pets according to instructions, including frequent potty breaks, walks, and play time as needed. I am able to provide medicine as well as specific food requests if necessary.
About: My parents have what they like to call a "hobby farm", so I have grown up surrounded by animals. I would both help my family take care of our pets but also help out my neighbors when they would go out of town. In college, I have dog and house sat multiple times through the platform Handshake. I am currently in nursing school. My current schedule usually gives me free time in the early mornings and in the evenings of the week days. I currently have weekends totally available. I love to play with the dogs and go on walks. I also like to ask the owner what their preferences are for their dog's activity.
“Puppers took to him instantly. It's good to know I can count on someone to take good care of my dog while I'm away, and that my dog isn't gonna turn into a depressed furball. Very much appreciated!”

About: My family has had cats since I was 13 years old and we’ve fostered and found homes for many strays. I adopted my dog when she was 8 weeks old, 8 years ago. I understand the deep love and concern all pet parents have for their babies because I see Juju as my child. I would love to help provide trustworthy and compassionate care for your pets! I also rely on Rover when I’m at work 3 days a week and I’d love to spend my days off helping other pet parents and animals feel safe and supported. I only work three days a week so I have a lot of flexibility. I’m off every other weekend so I have some weekend availability too. I’m happy to feed, walk, play with, cuddle, and care for your pet in any way that you need! I’m also comfortable with administering medication.
About: I have been pet sitting and dog walking since before I can remember. My family members were all allergic to animals so I was never able to have my own to love and care for. Pet sitting and dog walking was a way to get my animal “fix” without causing any allergic reactions in our household! I also ride horses and have owned and cared for many horses over the past ten years. Currently, I am taking a break from owning a horse but still get to ride occasionally! I do have references available if need be and would be happy to share to whomever is interested. I now have my own dog, Zuri, I rescued her in October 2020! She is the best girl ever and loves her life! I also have fostered for a few different organizations so am well versed in how each dog is different. I love all animals and would love any opportunity to give yours love when you aren’t available to do so! I work from home 4 days a week! So I am able to snuggle and play with the dogs all day! We do several walks a day & utilize enrichment toys. I live in an apartment, it’s big enough to host Zuri and one other dog comfortably. There are a few flights of stairs so would want to make sure your dog is comfortable with that.

Where do I even begin? We have a 20-year-old senior cat, and we had never trusted anyone else to care for him before. Leaving him was something I was incredibly anxious about, but Alexis made the entire experience so much easier. She was so patient, kind, and gentle with our sweet senior boy. She did an amazing job giving him his medications and always kept me updated after each visit with thoughtful messages and pictures. Honestly, I don’t know who she comforted more—me or my cat! I’m forever grateful for the love and care she gave him while we were away. Knowing he was in such capable, compassionate hands gave me such peace of mind. I’ll admit I’m a bit of a nervous Nelly and very particular, especially when it comes to my cat. Alexis followed every one of my detailed instructions, little tips, and routines without hesitation, and she made me feel completely at ease. I truly can’t recommend Alexis enough. If you’re looking for someone who will care for your pet as if they were her own, she’s the one. Thank you, Alexis, for taking such wonderful care of our boy. It meant more to us than you’ll ever know.

Charlotte was incredibly efficient, always arriving on time and following my instructions. Communication was a breeze; she kept me updated with photos and messages, which put my mind at ease while I was away. Most importantly, my dog absolutely loves her! He was happy and well cared for, I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!

Kate did a wonderful job taking care of our young cat, Ruby, while we were away on vacation. She communicated clearly throughout our trip, including letting us know if her arrival times needed to shift. She quickly won Ruby over with plenty of playtime, snuggles, and attention, which gave us real peace of mind. She also went above and beyond to water our plants during the heat wave which we really appreciated. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for cat. We would happily recommend Kate to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and thoughtful pet sitter!

Jimena is great! When I first met her for the meet and greet, I knew immediately that I could trust her to provide my 3 dogs and 1 cat with the best possible care over the next four days (while I was out of town). Over those 4 days, whenever she had a question, she did not hesitate to ask. She also provided me with updates, including pics, after every visit. When I arrived back, everything was very clean and orderly. No complaints whatsoever. Will definitely ask her back the next time I have to travel.
