“I felt totally at ease leaving our standard poodle with Andreja for a 4 day weekend. She sent photos of Ruby my dog, and I appreciated it and it gave me ease in leaving her. Totally trust her and would leave Ruby with her again. Vicki Hudak”
“Kayla was a great sitter for our pup. We needed help last minute, we did a meet and greet and then our dog stayed for a long weekend. She came home exhausted from all the fun and play. She was well taken care of. Would definitely recommend Kayla for your sitting needs.”
“Chiann was wonderful with Rover. He was very happy to see her when I brought him to her house. I received several videos throughout Rover’s stay and it was obvious that he was having a lot of fun. I will definitely have Rover stay with Chiann again.”
“Our dog was with Sharon for 16 days. He came home as if everything was normal in life. Sharon is very comfortable with "her" dogs. She seems very relaxed and that is what the dogs respond to.”
“Ralph was amazing, he accommodated our girls and treated them as if they were his own. He ensured that they were the only clients he had during their stay to make sure they were comfortable. He sent so many photos and made sure that we knew that were well cared for during their first stay with him. There was no doubt. Our large breed is shy and after our first meet and greet, she warmed up to Ralph so easily and she does that with no one. He has a way with animals that makes them feel so comfortable. I would highly recommend Ralph but I would like to be able to book him in the future 😉”
“Michael has been so wonderful with our Tiny Tim. Tiny loves going over to Michael’s house when we have something going on for the day. We will always use Michael as long as he still in the business.”
“We can't say enough about Margaret and the care she took of our beloved dog, Maisy. She sent many updates wih great pictures and we felt so comfortable that we had left our dog , for only the second time, in he care. Her dog and cat were also so welcoming to our dog which made her first experience with other pets a great one. We highly recommend Margaret to take wonderful care of your dog too.”
“My chocolate Lab Bruno sprints from my car to her door every time I drop him off there. Needless to say he loves staying with Jenni and her family,and we have the peace of mind knowing he is loved and well taken care of.”
“Wendalyn and Keith took such good care of our girl Gracie! They sent multiple pictures and updates a day during our time away! I would definitely use their sitting services again and highly recommend them to others!”

“She's amazing!! Super accommodating when my flight was delayed from the snow. She took great care of my pup and updated me frequently with a video or picture! She's a great petsitter!!”
About: I’m a part time stay at home mom only working 3 days a week! I have freedom to give ur pets the attention they need! Please reach out if u don’t see a date that’s available! I feel as if my patience are beyond others!! I’m very empathetic towards animals!! I will give ur pets all the attention and affection they need! I am a stay at home mom! If I’m able to bring my two year old son I would love to!! But if not I understand!! I have the extra time to give the needs to ur fur babies! I truly believe every pet is different!! I love detailed instructions on how to meet every pets needs!! My house has a fenced in yard also!
“We are so thankful to have found Annie! Thank you for treating our pup like family. Our dog and their dog became great friends. Everything was very easy, great communication and sent lots of updates. i would highly recommend Annie to anyone! Thank you so much for everything. We are so lucky to have found you!”
“We were nervous for our first time having a dog sitter for our pup, but Christina was great! Very communicative and our little guy was well taken care of. I’d recommend her for sure.”
“DeeDee had the best time with Derek. He sent lots of pictures and videos and she got to go on adventures of her own with Derek and his pups. Highly recommend using Derek for overnight boarding and daycare.”
About: I have loved dogs my whole life despite not being aloud to have any growing up. My parents just didn’t have the same love for animals as I did. Any chance I got I would go to friends houses or family’s houses and give their dogs love. It was very clear what my plan was after moving out of my mom’s house. Me and my now husband moved in together and very shortly after adopted our fur baby Luna!! Almost a year later we decided to add to the family and we got our other fur baby Salem. It’s been an amazing 3 years with Luna so far and 2.5 years with Salem!! After having them occasionally getting dog sat on rover for a few years now I realized I would love to be one of the awesome sitters to make your babies feel loved just like they are at home. While I feel as if I have more experience from being around other dogs my whole life I do think it’s only right to limit my experience to the years I’ve had with my own dogs. It is definitely different than just spending time with dogs. I also have decided to start with smaller dog breeds since I am currently pregnant and have a toddler. I am a stay at home mom with plenty of time to care for your pups, even more time once my husband gets home from work everyday. Me and my toddler love getting outside for walks and would make sure to have your pup join us. I will be taking a long break from sitting once our new baby is here. I will arrange my schedule once that is happening. I’m so excited to meet new pups and help out other owners! As I mentioned before, I am a stay at home mom with an active toddler who loves going on walks. I also have 2 dogs who have an active schedule so the pet care routine is already part of my daily routine as is the walking. I can cater to your pup however I need to if they have different needs. While your pups are in my home I can provide them exercise with walks and play time with our 2 dogs. They are very active dogs and we do walks often because we do not have a closed in back yard yet. We do plan on putting up a temporary fence around our back patio. Your dogs will get the same amount of attention and care as ours. My toddler is also very gentle with dogs of all sizes and if needed for older dogs we have child gates to create separate spaces. While yes, my husband and toddler are part of the household, I will be the sole caretaker of any dogs that I sit and that will not change. If it does change, my profile will be updated to a joint profile with my husband.
“Julie was wonderful with our little Morkie. She treated our little girl like her own. Her dog is very friendly and they got along well. Highly recommend Julie as a dog sitter. Will definitely use her for future bookings and happy we found someone that could trust and likes our quirky little dog.”
“Sabrina is absolutely fantastic! She took excellent care of my dog, followed all feeding and care instructions perfectly, and kept me updated the whole time. I received daily photos updates, and it was so comforting to see my pup playing and settling in perfectly. Highly recommend to anyone in the Avon Lake area”

“I can tell how my cat has been looked after by her behavior when I get home and I came home to a happy kittie! Kaleigh took the best pictures and kept me well informed. She even brought my cat over to the ring camera so I could say hi to her and watch her enjoy pets and attention from Kaleigh.”
“Brittany was great at communicating with me, especially because my cat is antisocial. I didn’t anticipate Brittany seeing her so she let me know that the food and water were being consumed and she was using the litter box. It made my travels much easier! I’d book with Brittany again.”
“Shadia is very attentive and highly communicative! I left home knowing my cats were in excellent hands! She sent daily photos and kept us updated. She’s punctual, reliable and also thinks about the little things I never thought to ask about. She made our short vacation stress free!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and have always loved taking care of animals. I have experience with dog and cat sitting, as well as some experience with dog training. I currently have two Border Collies and a Border Collie/Australian Shepherd mix, so I’m very comfortable with high-energy dogs and keeping them active and entertained. I know every pet is different, and I’ll make sure your pet gets the same care, attention, and love I’d give my own. 🐾 I currently work part-time at a local restaurant, but my schedule is pretty flexible, so I can easily work around pet care. I’m also taking college classes online, which gives me the flexibility to be available wherever I am. This makes it easy for me to give your pet plenty of time and attention! I take the safety and well-being of my own pets very seriously, and I would give your pet that same level of care. I’ll make sure they are safe, comfortable, and properly cared for while they’re with me, treating them with the same responsibility and attention I would give my own pets.

About: I have had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember. I took care of our dog for at least 5 years up until he passed away. I have been learning to train dogs as well. I currently work full time, Monday through Friday, and I have extra time and love to give to dogs that need a place to stay. I have a partially fenced in yard that is on the process of being fixed/finished. I can easily separate dogs if needed. I will provide walks as long as weather permits.
About: “As the proud owner of three long-haired cats, I understand that feline care requires a unique blend of patience, observational skills, and specialized maintenance. I don't just 'watch' cats—I provide comprehensive care tailored to their specific needs. What Sets Me Apart: Grooming & Coat Expertise: I am highly experienced in daily coat maintenance, detangling, and full grooming. I know exactly how to handle long-haired breeds to prevent matting and keep their coats healthy and pristine. Flawless Hygiene: I have a genuine passion for maintaining a clean environment. Deep-cleaning litter boxes and keeping feeding stations immaculate is a standard part of my daily routine to ensure your cat feels comfortable and stress-free. Medication & Senior Care: Thanks to my experience managing senior pet health, I am completely comfortable administering oral medications, tracking health metrics, and following strict veterinary timelines.Full-Time Availability: Because I am home full-time on our farm, your cat will receive consistent attention, regular play, and a stable, highly attentive routine."
About: I’ve lived with cats and still do and love them as if they are my own! I also used to work in a boarding facility where we would take care of dogs as well as cats, so I have plenty of experience when it comes to making sure your fur babies are happy!
About: I’ve watched and walked friend and family pets for years, including puppies and senior dogs of all sizes/breeds, as well as kittens, cats, and the occasional exotic pet! I work from home full-time and have lots of flexibility in my day to care for my pets and yours! I’m happy to care for your pets on the weekends as well. I am a proud helicopter dog mom to two golden retrievers! Their safety is my first priority and I will treat your fur babies like they are my own!
“I am happy to share that barely took excellent care of my cat while I was away on vacation. I was extremely impressed upon our first meet and greet where she also brought her husband. Bailey took excellent care of my cat, brought in the mail, and sent timely messages with photos!! I came home to a clean house and a happy cat! I would highly recommend her to watch your pet.”

About: I love animals and I enjoy being around them. I have a one year old German shepherd mix who loves other animals and playing so it would be a great opportunity for the both of us.

I have a fenced in back yard and one fur baby to keep hours company. I am open to spending all the time in the world with your animals.🫶🏽
“We highly recommend, Kayla! We recently adopted our pup from a shelter and wanted to make sure he was in someone’s home while traveling to avoid any more trauma and she did a great job making sure he was comfortable. The second time we dropped him off he went right in! Our boy loved Kayla and we will definitely use her again. She is excellent with communication and you can tell she truly loves dogs. Thank you for providing a great environment for Arrow!”
About: I’ve owned and taken care of dogs and cats for most of my life. My life has been enriched by caring for kittens, puppies, adults, and seniors. I’ve given pills and eye drops to both cats and dogs. I love playing with cats and dogs and seeing them happy! It would be an honor to care for your pet. I’m the owner/operator of a new pet transportation business and have taken care of puppies during 200+ mile trips. This includes giving them water and food, cleaning them and their crate up (if they got carsick ☹️), sitting with them on breaks while they roamed the back of my SUV, and snuggles. I am excited to take care of fur babies at your home or mine! I have two cats of my own, a calico (7 yrs old) and a Siamese mix (6 yrs old), and they are amazing! 😻 I have a fenced in backyard and swimming pool (which can also be fenced off if desired by pet parent). I can feed, water, do short walks, and give medicine or eye drops (to compliant pets). I have 2 cats and am happy to provide care to cat friendly dogs at my home or I can come to yours. I’m available M-F 8-4 and for overnight stays.
“Hong did a fabulous job taking care of Rover. He seemed like he did not want to leave her house when I picked him up. She took a ton of pictures so that I was able to see how much fun he was having during his stay. I will definitely be letting Rover stay with Hong again soon.”

About: My husband, Keith and I love dogs and have had them all of our lives. Our beloved rescue dog passed in April. We miss having a dog to love on and play with. Your dog(s)will be treated like they are part of our family. My husband and I make a great team as he likes to take the dogs for daily walks no matter the weather and I like to play fetch, or work on commands. I work from home full-time while my husband works from home 3 days a week so we are here on site daily. We are active people and love to go on walks ourselves so we will take the dog with us. There are no kids or other pets in our home. We have an invisible fence so we will ensure all dogs are taken out on a leash when they need to go outside.

About: I've owned and cared for a lot of different animals since I was 7, ferrets, rats, mice, fish, dogs, cats. I have senior animal care experience, and experience giving animals medication on a schedule. I've had my own dog Pinky since she was a puppy, so I'm sure I can handle any rambunctious pups!

Pinky is crate trained, so if your fur baby is crate trained I'll have no problem letting them out in the morning, and putting them in at night. If you have a senior animal, or an animal that needs medication, let me know all of the care details, so I can keep them on schedule and keep them comfortable and cared for!

“Shadia is awesome! I appreciate all that she does for our dog. When she comes over, I think our dog is excited to see her. Shadia gives us info and a picture in her communication with us.”

About: I have had dogs in my house my whole life, and for the past few years, I have been dog-sitting for numerous families for long periods of time. I am equipped to walk, let out, feed, administer medications, play, and take care of any other needs your dog may have. I work as a caregiver on Saturdays and Sundays for 6 hours each day, but otherwise, I can spend the rest of my time with your pup. I make it a priority to get any instructions my clients may have regarding their pup and make sure to follow them. I also make sure that I am always in earshot when in the home with the dog so that if anything happens, I can quickly act.
“Kaleigh was an amazing sitter for our dog! She offered a meet and greet prior since it was our first time booking so that everyone was comfortable. She was punctual, attentive, and made sure to communicate so we knew exactly what was going on and when. We will definitely be using her again! 100% recommend her for your pets 🫶🏼”

I have four dogs, two cats, a betta fish, some shrimp, and a snail. Animals are my passion and I will treat yours like my own.

“Professional, great communication. Really “listens” to our dog who sometimes wants to take a slow walk with lots of sniffs and other times is all business and just wants to get back home.”
“Gabee was fabulous! She came to meet bogey a couple of days before the first walk, and was so receptive to everything we told her about him! She sent updates and photos throughout the walks, overall amazing first experience working with her!”
About: I have been rescuing cats and other animals for over 15 years and work with my neighbors to try and find homes for them. We have always had dogs and cats. I love animals and have lots of love and attention to give! Since my husband passed away in 2010, I have spent time traveling and I have time on my hands to work on my garden and house and read. I love the company of animals and I feel they like me too! I am a very organized person and try to provide a sense of a schedule for the pets as well. I think it helps everyone to be flexible but not in the areas that matter like going outside and the feeding schedules! No pitbulls, and no mixed breeds with pitbulls please. I’m currently working part-time so I will have plenty of time for your pets! I provide a loving, nurturing environment. I can take your pet after 2 pm! I have a fenced in back yard. I will provide exercise and plenty of fresh water and opportunities for potty breaks! Daily walks as well!

I work from home, and I am able to provide your dog(s) all of the care that they need! I am able to walk, babysit, or play with your pups whenever you need! I will make sure your dogs are well taken care of and treat them like they are my own! If I come to your house, I will follow your pets routine.
About: I have two dogs of my own and have had two others before. I have trained my dogs myself from puppy’s to adults. I have also worked at a pet hotel and have fed and cleaned up as well as cared for animals while also getting their scheduled play times in. I currently work part time at PetSmart and have extra time on my hands to care for your lovely pets and am more than excited to meet them! I would love to modify how to care for your pets based off their needs and make sure they get the best care for them possible!
About: Growing up, we always had multiple dogs that were my responsibility to care for, and I loved every moment of it! I have spent the last several years helping my family and friends with watching, caring for, and walking their dogs when need - I'm the go-to person for them because they know their fury friends are in good hands with me! I have two cats of my own (one male and one female - both spayed/neutered), but I do not have any dogs of my own. I work full time - typically Monday-Friday away from home from 8:30amuntil between 3-5:30pm. Occasionally I work a few hours on a Saturday or Sunday, but this is the typical. If your home is near my work, I usually am available to do walks or check-ins on my lunchbreak. I have a small, non-fenced, yard that works well for quick outside potty breaks but live in an area that is good for dog walks. I have a decent sized home, so any size dog would feel comfortable playing inside. All pets are welcome on the couch - especially for cuddle time - and I have a spare bedroom where they would be welcome in the bed. I have space to hold dog crates if your dog is more comfortable in their own space for sleep.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 10! They are what get me through it all and I’m so excited to help you take care of yours! I will automatically fall in love like they were my own🫶🏻 I work my own hours so I will have plenty of time to play with your pups and/or dogs!! We can discuss boarding upon request!! :) I live in an apartment building, approximately three stories high. There is a doggy park near by which I can always take your pup to get some quality time and exercise into their day! Taking the best care of your fur baby has become such a hobbie of mine- I love to be their caretakers and create new fur besties!
About: I take care of my two dogs named Ivy and Cooper I rescued them both when they were puppies Cooper is now 12 and Ivy is now 4. I walk them once a day. I cuddle and play with them a lot. I’m currently not working so my schedule is very flexible right now to watch and take the dogs for a walk five days a week. I do not have a fenced yard but I am always outside when my dogs are outside I crate my older dog at night I let them out first thing in the morning and feed them first thing and fill up their water bowls.

“I felt totally at ease leaving our standard poodle with Andreja for a 4 day weekend. She sent photos of Ruby my dog, and I appreciated it and it gave me ease in leaving her. Totally trust her and would leave Ruby with her again. Vicki Hudak”
“Kayla was a great sitter for our pup. We needed help last minute, we did a meet and greet and then our dog stayed for a long weekend. She came home exhausted from all the fun and play. She was well taken care of. Would definitely recommend Kayla for your sitting needs.”
“Chiann was wonderful with Rover. He was very happy to see her when I brought him to her house. I received several videos throughout Rover’s stay and it was obvious that he was having a lot of fun. I will definitely have Rover stay with Chiann again.”
“Our dog was with Sharon for 16 days. He came home as if everything was normal in life. Sharon is very comfortable with "her" dogs. She seems very relaxed and that is what the dogs respond to.”
“Ralph was amazing, he accommodated our girls and treated them as if they were his own. He ensured that they were the only clients he had during their stay to make sure they were comfortable. He sent so many photos and made sure that we knew that were well cared for during their first stay with him. There was no doubt. Our large breed is shy and after our first meet and greet, she warmed up to Ralph so easily and she does that with no one. He has a way with animals that makes them feel so comfortable. I would highly recommend Ralph but I would like to be able to book him in the future 😉”
