“Katie is AMAZING!! From the moment I dropped my puppy off until I picked him up. She updated me sent me pictures and was very responsive. I booked her with short notice and also longer visit. I had to add a day and she accommodated it. I will definitely be using her services again in the future. If I could give 10 stars I would she is great.”
“Kathy is always so wonderful with our dog, Stash! He’s so comfortable and loved when he’s with her. It’s so hard leaving him, but Kathy is great at sending updates and photos while we’re away. Thanks so much for being so great with our little guy, Kathy!”
“We have a 12 week golden doodle puppy (Oakley) and had to leave him for the first time for a baseball tournament. Oakley had a blast playing with Kelsey’s dog, along with many outdoor adventures. We were nervous leaving him for the first time and she updated us frequently. We will 100% use her services again and highly recommend her!!”

“First time utilizing Kyle’s services for my 2 miniature shitzhus and it was absolutely amazing. It’s the first time I had to use this kind of service and honestly, it’s been nothing short of exceptional. Kyle provided videos throughout the evening so I could feel comfortable with the whole process - it was nice to notice my dogs having fun with another dog Kyle was doggy sitting. Communication was very smooth. I highly recommend and will definitely be utilizing his services again.”
“Cheryl is fantastic. She promised us she’d take care of our beloved dog MooMoo as if she was her own, and she did. It was such a relief to know MooMoo was being taken such excellent care of when we were gone for 8 days and appreciated all of the updates and photos. If you are looking for high quality and personalized in home care for your dog, Cheryl is one of the best ?”
“I was so pleased with my dog’s stay with this boarder. She sent me daily updates and made sure I knew Oreo was being treated with the BEST care! This was my first experience leaving Oreo with a someone outside my family and all of my insecurities went away the very first day he was there. I would highly recommend her and will definitely reach out again if I need to leave Oreo again!”
“Bandit was so happy to be with karma. He always has a blast when he goes on his sleepovers, he tried to run back into the yard and not come home because of how much fun he had. Can’t thank her enough for all she does to keep him active, happy, and cared for.”
“Wendy was great. She watched our dog, Margo, while we in the process of moving. During what was a busy, stressful time for us, Wendy provided a calm and caring home for our pet. She was flexible with our drop off and pick up times and kept us informed of how Margo was doing via daily texts. Very happy! In fact, we have already booked another stay with Wendy!”
“Great experience overall. This was my first time leaving my dogs with anyone. Melissa and Matt were very good with them and kept in contact with me for updates and photos. Will definitely book again!”
“Tara & Peter are great sitters. They keep me informed of how Murphy was doing with his stay with them and any other dogs that were there. They were really good at sending me pictures of Murphy while interacting with the family and their dog. It was really reassuring and I feel they were a great choice for Murphy. I would use them again.”
“Awesome! She was accommodating, pleasant to work with and I felt confidant that my pup was well taken care of. Gina stayed in communication during my time away and was responsive to my texts and questions. I would highly recommend her and would definitely use her again.”

About: Hello! I currently work at a dog boarding and daycare center. I absolutely love taking care of the dogs daily. I’ve gained tons of hands-on experience caring for dogs in a busy boarding and daycare setting, providing attentive, compassionate care to ensure each dog felt safe and comfortable. As well as feeding, exercise, playtime, and basic health monitoring while supervising group interactions to encourage positive behavior and prevent conflicts. I’ve developed strong skills in handling dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities while maintaining a clean, organized, and stress-free environment 🐾🩷 Pet care is a central part of my daily schedule through my work at a dog boarding and daycare center. Each day involves hands-on responsibilities such as feeding, exercising, supervising playgroups, monitoring behavior and health, and maintaining clean and safe environments for the dogs in my care. Because my workday is structured around consistent routines and animal needs, I am accustomed to prioritizing timely care, attention, and safety. This experience allows me to seamlessly integrate pet care into my schedule while remaining reliable, attentive, and responsive to each dog’s individual needs. When walking pets, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and enjoyment at all times. I ensure each walk is suited to the dog’s age, energy level, and temperament, providing appropriate exercise while maintaining control and awareness of surroundings. I pay close attention to behavior, leash manners, and potential hazards, and I follow any specific instructions regarding routes, pacing, or handling. Throughout the walk, I offer positive reinforcement, patience, and attentive care to ensure each pet feels secure, stimulated, and well cared for.
About: I've been around animals since I was very young and love all of them. They are part of my family and will be treated as such while they're with me. I enjoy going on walks and keeping pets happy and entertained. I believe it's very important to know your fur babies will be in great hands when boarding with me. My beloved dog Mario is no longer with me; he lived for 13 wonderful years and was the best dog anyone could ask for. I haven't been able to get another one since then. Watching and caring for other pets makes me happy and brings me joy. I currently work from home so my schedule is very flexible throughout the week. Working from Home is a blessing and has given me the flexibility to care for others pets. I do not have a fenced yard, but I live in a development that gives me plenty of opportunities to go for walks. As long as they come with a leash we will be walking.
“Great Sitter! We had Brittany watch over our two cats while on vacation. She did an awesome job keeping us informed everyday and sent photos and videos. Very pleased.”
“We had Alexea for a long weekend. I would highly recommend her to watch your cat or dog. She took great care of my 2 kitties and the house. She sent us pictures of be our cats and watered all our plants outside. We came home to a perfect house!!”
About: Hi fellow cat lovers! 🐱 I’ve dedicated much of my life to caring for animals, but cats hold a very special place in my heart. I’ve worked with low cost spay and neuter services where we worked diligently on the TNR(Trap Neuter Release) cats of the lake, geauga and Cuyahoga surrounding areas. From working in veterinary settings to fostering, I’ve cared for kittens, seniors, and cats with unique needs, so I understand their personalities, quirks, and routines. Whether it’s feeding, playtime, medications, or simply providing comfort and companionship, I treat every cat as if they were my own. My goal is to keep your feline family happy, safe, and stress-free while you’re away to the best of my abilities.
About: I have been taking care of dogs ever since I was old enough to. I grew up with German Shepherds and have spent years training, loving, and looking after them. Beyond my own pets, I’ve also cared for the animals of friends and neighbors. I’ve been around animals my whole life, and giving them love and attention has always come naturally to me. Pet care is my full-time focus right now, so I have plenty of availability to give your pets the time, attention, and care they deserve! I have a large yard where dogs can enjoy outdoor time with plenty of space to roam. For safety, I use a secure tie-out stake and lead, so your pet can play while staying within a safe area under my supervision. Pets stay indoors overnight in a cozy, clean environment where they’ll feel safe, loved, and cared for like family!
“Great with our dog, Stella. Briana was patient and kind as Stella became adjusted to a new person. She sent photos of Stella’s activities, which was appreciated. We have already scheduled Briana to come again!”
About: I am a lifelong animal lover and I share a special connection with them. I have an Australian Shepherd, Kodi Wilde and a kitty called Audrey. I have over 15 years experience as a professional petsitter. I volunteer at a local animal shelter to walk dogs and give them love and playtime. I believe pets are family members and I will show yours the same love and care I show mine. I will protect your pets and keep them happy. I love to take them for walks or jogs. I am happy to watch them in your home as well. In addition to keeping your furry friends happy and healthy, I can keep you updated with photos and videos so you can relax during your time away. Call or text to set up your complementary meet and greet. My schedule is very flexible. I am happy to accommodate your pets scheduled and keep you updated. My goal is to keep your pet happy and safe while you’re away. We have a large fenced in back yard and I’m also happy to take your dog on hikes! I typical separate pets at feeding time.
About: I just moved back to Ohio and I have had pets my whole life and lost my baby a bit ago. I know how they are family and deserve all the love. My dog was older and had a lot of health issues so I am familiar with different medication that may be needed. I’m currently in grad school for nurse anesthesia and study most days from home. I have a pretty open schedule except Thursday and Friday morning-afternoon but can be available early in the am or that evening. Happy to answer any questions. Anytime except Thursday and Friday morning. I have online lectures so I can have open availability during the rest of the week and weekends. I can discuss as well I would prefer to watch your loved one at your home or do day sitting/walks. My current dog is very timid and a rescue and is scared of literally everything so I don’t want to stress him out
About: With over 10 years of experience and a cat of my own, I know how to keep your feline happy, safe, and stress-free. I’ve worked for multiple pet care companies and also care for private clients. I handle feedings, meds, litter, and play — always with care and attention to your cat’s personality. Daily updates included!
“Kim did a fantastic job with my old man (kitty) and all his meds. He has a lot of health concerns and she paid special attention to all his special needs. Thank you so much Kim!”
About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover; I have cared for my own pets most of my life, and did my first ever (non-family) pet sitting job when I was about 12 years old. I have experience with dogs, cats, and a variety of farm animals. My husband and I currently have a dog and cat indoors, along with a pair of cats and fifteen ducks outside. My current pup, Abby, has taught me a lot about dog body language and behavior, so I'm better equipped than ever to interact with anxious dogs. I work full time, but can still provide house sitting services if you're comfortable with me being away during the day Monday-Friday, and can provide drop in and walking services early mornings/evenings during the week. Most weekend days I can be available all day. I'll be sure that I have and understand any instructions you have for your pets to ensure that they get the care they expect and deserve. I've also just completed a PetTech first aid and CPR class to be sure I'm able to keep your pets as safe as possible.

“Kyle was absolutely wonderful! He helped me and my family out in a pinch!! He treated our dogs like his own and was an amazing communicator! He went out of his way to pick up our girls and sent many pictures. Highly recommend and we will use him again! 😊”
“Very enthusiastic about meeting our dog. Showed us the backyard and inside of the house. Sent several pictures and a few pictures. Yoshi was very happy looking and definitely enjoyed his stay. Will use again!”

“Brandon is amazing! He agreed to watch my 3 month old puppy on a 2 day notice while I had to work for 12 hours. Ollie had so much fun playing with other dogs. He sent me videos and pics all day and gave me updates! Highly recommend, Ollie loves it here and he’ll be back!”
“Angela is awesome. Teddy P had a blast at daycare! Angela you are friendly and caring!! I really appreciated the photos during the day. I'm so happy that you'll be boarding my furbaby during my upcoming cruise. Thank you so much!”
“Karma was great! Sent plenty of pics and feedback to put us at ease! We have a very nervous little guy and she did great with understanding his needs and accommodating them”
About: I currently have a 4 year old mini Australian shepherd. My experience includes watching a puppy overnight, helping train a deaf dog, and taking neighbors dogs on walks. I am a teacher so I am available all of June-August to provide all day care for dogs or just walk dogs during the day. I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable home where dogs are treated like family. I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, walks, fresh water, meals on schedule, and lots of affection. I follow each dog’s routine and make sure they feel happy and relaxed while they’re away from home.
“Gina and her husband are very nice and accommodating. I did not worry about my little guy while I was at work. They have a beautiful clean home with a large yard. Their 2 ittle dogs are very friendly and play well. I highly recommend whether you are boarding or using as daycare. Thank you so much Gina.”
“Cheryl is our go to whenever we need a sitter for Kona. She is flexible with scheduling and treats Kona with the best of care. She provides regular walks and pictures/videos to put us at ease. Kona loves to watch for chipmunks, birds and deer from Cheryl’s windows. I have booked both daycare and overnight care for long trips and we always know we can count on Cheryl.”
“Al was great! He was prompt with communication and flexible around drop-off and pick-up. I love the many video updates, they give me a sense of what my dog did all day. My dog Cassie clearly loves Al and seems very happy to arrive, and is utterly exhausted when I pick her up. Exactly what I need!”
About: I always bring a treat depending on the pups diet. There will always be plenty of kisses given. I like to help with training. I can have Spot sitting on command after 30 minutes. Playing indoor or outdoors is my favorite thing to do. Especially hide and seek or playing in the pool. I’m good at observing dogs habits to understand what they do and don’t like. I volunteer with a local rescue and have helped with fostering. I am more than happy to help with an special needs and understand that they are all different. I enjoy helping animals, if I see them scratching their ears... I’ll gladly scratch them for them. I would feel bad not helping them out. I have experience watching deaf, blind, reactive/temperamental dogs. I am confident in working with them. My 2 dogs are spoiled rotten and socialized. They love meeting new pups. They sleep with me each night. I do respect owners wishes, if you do not want them on furniture. I will gladly abide. I have a client that has a list of things her dogs can and cannot eat. I take the owners wishes seriously. I’m very easy going and thrive on direct communication.
About: I have found a love of dog care and enrichment while training my Cockalier pup in scent work, dock diving, and tricks! My dog and I love going on daily walks and playing frisbee in the yard, and it would be my pleasure to host your pup! Currently WFH with flexible morning, lunchtime, and evening schedule, so I have plenty of time to play with your pup and get them the exercise and enrichment they need! I have a pet-friendly home and a large yard (although it is not fenced) in a safe neighborhood. I am close to many metroparks and walking trails for daily walks.
“Austin saved the day, again. We had church and a birthday celebration to attend, and Lewey was kept in Austin’s care for the day. Austin sent us pictures, and we could tell Lewey had a great time. So thankful for the services offered. Lewey was in a safe environment which made it easy for us to enjoy our time.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since i had my first dog in the first grade. A white Samoyed. When she was 3 she has 7 puppies! I was obsessed with them. We sold 6 and kept one. So we had 2 big white Samoyed’s that I had the responsibility of raising and attending to. They were my whole world. I’m always the first to be asked to watch someone’s dog because if there’s one thing I’m passionate about, it’s loving on dogs. I now have a mini dachshund who i love so much. I have experience with puppies, big dogs, little dogs, and senior dogs. I’m able to train puppies and care for senior dogs who would need more help in their day to day activities such as meds, frequent potty breaks, and patience. I also had an internship with the lake humane society in high school and have a special place in my heart for rescue dogs/cats who could use some extra love. I am currently a stay at home mom with my 8 year old who is in school and 1 year old who both love dogs I figured i could help out some dog momma or daddies who aren’t able to be home with them all day. I am able to let your dog out every couple hours. And even take them for brief walks. We have plenty of dog toys to share, bully sticks (while supervised), treats, and extra dog bowls if needed. My husband is a realtor so is home most of the time if i am not. I crate our dog at home when we leave. I also have a camera just in case to make sure she’s okay while we’re gone. We moved so we don’t have a fenced in yard anymore. But had leads if they want to stay outside for a longer period of time. I also live next to my parents who have a fenced in yard where i could take them if you feel more comfortable with that.
About: Dogs have always been part of my life and my family. I am retired now, so my schedule is very flexible. My husband and I lead an active lifestyle and will make sure your dog is taken care of like family. We have a large backyard with access from a doggy door. We will keep you posted with photos and feedback on a daily basis. We have raised all breeds over our years as dog owners and have been blessed with wonderful senior rescues. Since my husband and I are both retired we are very flexible in our schedules and should be able to accommodate any timeframe that is needed. Our backyard is spacious and fenced in. There is access through a doggy door if that is negotiable for your dog. It can also be blocked if if required. We are very close to a beautiful park, which is wonderful for some nice long walks. We recently lost our 10 year old bull terrier to cancer and so our house feels empty without our beloved Walter. We will make sure your furry friend feels like family.

About: Hello fellow pet peeps! I’ve had pets as long as I can remember- I’ve been lucky enough to have been a pet mama to small pocket pets, cats, dogs, reptiles (snakes and lizards), fish, a chinchilla named Jerry and even a small flock of chickens! I am a teacher, so I have time this summer to help out! I would love to offer my services to all the families needing someone to look after their furry (or scaley) family members. I can offer housesitting, but I am unable to stay over night due to my own family needs at this time. I can be flexible and would love to help if I can. I have a lot of experience taking care of different types of animals, but would always follow the specific directions based on the needs of your pet. I am comfortable with all types of pet care including medication needs, crating, potty training etc…
“Amanda was amazingly attentive, patient, and loving to our rambunctious little two-year-old puppy. She did an amazing job of getting him exercise, and sent awesome pictures. We would highly recommend her, and definitely plan to become repeat customers!”

“Sandy was awesome! She walked my pup, played with her, and fed her. She also sent pictures and stayed in contact. I really appreciate her helping me while I was out of town. Derby seemed so happy after being with her. Can’t say thank you enough!”
About: I’ve been responsible for the care of pets most of my life. Pets are family to me. I love getting to know their individual personalities and supporting their needs. My routine varies daily and weekly. Weekends and evening are more open but, depending on the day and mommy schedule, I can sometimes be available during the day on week days. Overnight stays can be available for house-sitting if my 14 pound, male dog, Franklin, can accompany me; he is very friendly and attached to me. I will connect with you one-on-one about your pets individual needs and follow their schedule and routine as you identify me to do. I respect your space and guidelines.

About: Hi my name is Briana! Your dog will have play time outside if raining then we play inside. I have many years of experience with cats and dogs. I love animals of all sizes. I am easily reachable by text or phone call. I love being outside so your dog will get as much exercise as they need. I go above and beyond to take care of dogs. I provide a lot of love. I am excited to care for your pup and treat them as my own! I look forward to hearing from you! Thank you! Even though I work full-time, caring for animals is something I naturally build into my day. My mornings and evenings are spent feeding, playing, and snuggling with my two cats, so I’m already used to keeping a consistent routine. On my days off and during flexible hours, I have plenty of time to check in on your pets, give them love and attention, and make sure they stay happy and comfortable while you’re away. When caring for pets in your home, I follow their usual routine as closely as possible so they feel safe and comfortable. I make sure they have fresh food and water, clean litter boxes or potty breaks, plenty of playtime, and lots of love and attention. For dogs, that might include walks or backyard play; for cats and small animals, it can be interactive play or cozy companionship. I also respect your home, keeping things neat and making sure your pets are happy and relaxed until you return.

About: Playing, cuddling and lots of pampering is what your dog will receive during their stay at our home. We are huge animal lovers, and it's all about the pups at our house! We will care for your loved ones like they were our own children so that you can have peace of mind while you are away. Many families have come to know and trust us to take excellent care of their pets. We are completely dependable and can provide many great references. We look forward to meeting you and learning about your dog's special needs. About this sitter: I am passionate about making sure all of your pet's needs are met. I understand that your dog may not understand why they are in a new environment and may miss you, so I make every effort to make them feel loved, pampered and comfortable, so they feel like you sent them on their own special vacation. You can rest assured that your dog will be the focus of my attention while you are away, and I will send lots of pictures, so you can enjoy your vacation. Why I love dog sitting: I have rescued and taken care of all breeds of dogs, big and small. Dogs are our children on four legs. Meet my pet I have one 9-year-old pampered pit bull mix, Karma, who get along with other dogs. She is spayed and UTD on all shots, flea and heartworm medications. About our yard We have a huge 2 acre groomed back yard. However, I will keep your dog on a leash at all times unless you give me permission to let them run around the yard freely while being supervised at all times. I have extensive experience administering medications, nail trimming and bathing. I am experienced and comfortable administering oral medication, topical, injections and eye and ear medications. I am home full time and do not have a job. Your dog will receive my undivided attention. I will let your pup outside to play at least four times a day, and more if needed. If your dog is a senior or a puppy, then their play schedule will be adjusted according to their activity level. I will keep your dog on a leash while playing in our back yard, since the entire five acres is not fenced, unless you specifically tell me that it's okay to take them off the leash to play ball. At your home, I will follow whatever protocol you have in place, whether that be leashed walks or unleashed play in your yard.
About: I’ve been dog sitting for approximately six years for several families and can accommodate to any dog, cat or small animal.

I follow whatever schedule is provided including feeding/bathroom breaks/playtime and bedtime. I love all dogs and cats...and animals in general lol...and so far they have all loved me! Hope to hear from you soon!! ?? I make every effort to continue to keep the schedule that you follow so the furbabies don't have too much a shock when mom/dad aren't home I care for your pets As you would! We can go for walks, cuddle, watch some tv or whatever they like to do in their home
About: Ive taken care of all sorts of dogs my entire life, whether theyre my own, family friends, or volunteering at shelters. I especially have a lot of experience dealing with scared or anxious dogs, this is because all of my pets are rescued from bad situations so I have learned over time how to read their body language and act exactly how they need to be comfortable. I am very available during the summer months so if you reach out I am more than sure that I will be able to work something out with you! For dog walking if there is a neighborhood I will happily walk your dog in that neighborhood. However if it is not available I have my car set up to keep your dog safe in the backseat, granted that theyre ok being in a car, this way I can take your dog to a nearby park to walk. If your dog is not comfortable being in a car and there is not a neighborhood set up, im sure we can work something out! I always bring anything and everything your dog could need on a short walk such as a water bowl, bags, extra leashes, and treats.
About: I have dedicated the majority of my adult life to caring for animals of all kinds, including dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, chinchillas, and parakeets. My professional background includes many years in boarding and daycare facilities, where I also gained grooming experience as a dog bather and advanced into a supervisory role overseeing boarding, grooming, and daycare operations. In addition, I have three years of experience as a veterinary assistant in a low-cost spay and neuter clinic, along with further veterinary hospital work. I have fostered dogs for 6–7 years, providing care to pets with diverse needs, and I hold a Veterinary Assistant Certification from Lakeland Community College. With both personal passion and professional expertise, I offer compassionate, knowledgeable, and reliable animal care. I currently have a flexible schedule and am happy to provide pet care as long as the timing works well. As a single parent with limited childcare support, my young son usually comes along with me. He has grown up around animals and enjoys being part of the care experience, and I always ensure that the focus remains on providing safe, attentive, and loving care for your pets. Pet care is something I truly value, and I look forward to helping families with their pets whenever possible. I treat every pet as if they were part of my own family, giving them the same love, attention, and respect I give my own animals. I also take great care to follow each client’s instructions closely, ensuring every pet receives the personalized care they need and deserve.
About: I’ve spent the past several years working hands-on as a veterinary assistant and dog trainer, and I truly love what I do. In the clinic, I’ve helped care for pets of all ages and temperaments, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for during what can sometimes be stressful visits. As a trainer, I focus on building trust and clear communication between dogs and their owners, using patience and positive reinforcement to create lasting results. Whether I’m assisting in medical care or helping shape better behavior, my goal is always the same—happy, healthy pets and confident, informed owners who feel supported every step of the way. I’m currently working part time and home with my children 4 days a week and when I’m at my part time job I’m only there till 12pm. So I will have lots of time to spoil your fur babies with all the love and attention! I have worked in the veterinary field for over 7 years and currently working as a dog trainer part time your pets will always be properly taken care of and looked after with lots of play time and walks! If boarded in my home if I am not with them I would have them in a crate for rest times if not crate trained we can figure something out always open to help your pets feel the comfort of home away from home!

About: Hello! My name is Maria and I am very excited to meet your furry friend! I’ve raised 2 large dogs and 2 small dogs so I am comfortable with any size pet. I also worked at a doggie day care center where I worked with all size dogs for 8 plus hours at a time and facilitated friendly play so I am able to handle multiple dogs or cats at a time! I live in the mentor area but am willing to travel as well. Please let me know if this is the type of sitter you are looking for! I work as a nurse so my schedule is pretty flexible. I care for my own pets with walks, park visits, swimming, agility and lots of playing. I am always cautious when taking care of pets in my home or another persons home. I understand that allowing someone into your home can be nerve racking so I am always sure to communicate as much as I can with home owners and follow their specific instructions to ensure the visit goes as smooth as possible.
About: I have watched my cousin's shi tzu many times for extended periods of time. It has went well every time. Also I have over 15 years of having a pet in my home. Walking dogs and taking care of them is something that I have a lot of experience in. I have a very flexible schedule as an independent contractor so i can be available at any time. Whenever I watch my cousin's dog, it becomes a full time endeavor. I take pride in taking care of the things in my environment whether it is lawn care, businesses, car, or my hobbies. I walk them regularly. I make sure the pets are fed on schedule. I pay attention to the pet's communication signals, and I am a caring person towards them.

I would use them again.”
