“We’re really happy with Debra and how she handled everything for our dog while we were out of town. We arranged for a meetup before the stay to ensure this would be a good match. When I dropped off our dog there was an introduction to the other pets in her home so our pup could get acclimated. While we were away we received daily updates with photos and it looked like our pup was having a great time. Thanks for taking good care and we look forward to scheduling with you again!”

About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs since I was a child, and they have always been a very special part of my life. Back home in Thailand, I have four dogs who are truly part of my family. I cared for them from when they were little puppies through their senior years before I moved to the U.S. to study.🫶🏻 . I usually start my day around 7:30 AM, and one of the first things I’ll do is take your pup outside for a morning walk. On Mondays and Wednesdays, I have class for about three hours from 9am -12pm. After class, I’m available until around 4:00 PM, when I leave for my part-time job and get home around 8pm. On Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, I go to work from 11-2pm & 4:30-8pm. I do get a break from 2:30-4, so I’ll be able to come let your pup out for a potty break on those days & I’ll also be able to walk and play if weather permits. I’m off on Saturday & sundays 🏡 My Home & Safety I have a spacious home with a large, fully fenced yard, giving your pup plenty of room to play, explore, and enjoy time outside safely. My neighborhood is peaceful and dog-friendly, with many families, children, and dogs around, making it a great environment for walks and outdoor time. Your dog’s safety and comfort are very important to me. I want every pup staying with me to feel safe, relaxed, and loved — just like they’re at home. 🐶❤️ To keep my home and neighborhood safe and comfortable for everyone, I currently accept dogs who are: 💉 Up to date on vaccinations 🏠 House-trained 🐾 Spayed or neutered 🚨 Please let me know if your dog has any allergies, health concerns, or special needs I should know about. 🐶🤎
“Thank you Brittany for caring for our girl while we were on vacation.She was so relaxed and calm when we returned gave us piece of mind to see the picture of her relaxing with your family. "The Fleshman Family "”
“Kyle is absolutely amazing! I’ve had some horrible Rover experiences so I was very anxious about using it again, but Kyle has dispelled all of that. My girls literally LOVED him from the moment they met him which is wild because my dogs don’t ever warm up that quickly! Kyle has helped me out with last minute care a couple of times now and I’m so grateful. He takes them on walks and sends TONS of videos and pictures. I can tell he truly loves dogs and caring for them, which is all that I want in a sitter. 100/10 recommend. I will always use him!❤️”
“Cordelia was a great sitter for my cat Pandan for 6 days. She was very accommodating on our visit and flexible with drop off and pick ups. Based on all the photos she sent, he seemed like he enjoyed his time there. I would definitely book again.”
“Jenna was so awesome!! Very communicative and responsive with scheduling, sent lots of pics and updates throughout each day, had a beautiful and safe home for my dog to play and relax. He even came home with a new toy!! Absolutely would recommend.”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since l was 10, with friends, family, and neighbors asking for pet care since l remember. I always enjoy spending time with furry loved ones. I care for two of my own dogs so it’s an everyday routine for me to care and check in on them when I do have to leave the house. I don’t have a job that requires me to be on site all the time so it’s perfect for my dogs schedule now that I have more time to be around them. At home I watch my dogs everyday, they are well trained so I don’t have to be super vigilant on them because I know them won’t leave the yard. They are fed twice a day and I try to walk them everyday. As for a clients home it depends on their schedule and how they care for their dog, but whatever their dogs needs are I will provide the service of fulfilling it.
“Lana did a great job looking after my dogs for the long weekend! She sent photos and kept me up to date with how they were doing. One of my dogs needs medication twice a dog which was administered. There is a lot of space on her property for playing and my dogs had lots of fun!”
“she always does such a great job and is so amazing about keeping you in the loop and updated, i was away for about 11 days and i have a puppy and a senior pup and her and Colt (her pup) were such amazing sitters and were so great with both of my pups for the long stay 🐾 🦴 💜”
“We absolutely loved Tina an Rick. I felt like my dog(Milo) was very well taken cared for and in loving hands. We received daily updates that included pictures or videos. We also had an emergency and had to extend his stay and they were very accommodating. I also loved how they included at the end of his stay a little report of how his stay was. I will definitely use them again as i felt like they really treated my baby as they would their own dog.”
“Susan and Kenny are a wonderful couple! They took great care of my senior, nearly-blind pup. They were incredibly attentive and did everything they could to make sure my dog felt comfortable and safe throughout the stay. I received regular updates and photos, which put my mind at ease. I highly recommend them as compassionate, loving and reliable care-givers!”

“Thank you Jackie! You are a precious gem! Jackie is the best, she is very dependable and flexible. She out of her way for Spike (cat) and me to assure me that he was home and was safe. My phone was alerted last night the cat was outside so I thought it was my Spike. It turned out to be a similar cat. So be assured that when I say, “Jackie is the greatest”, It’s the truth, you better believe it!”
“Our puppy loves Isabella! She goes above and beyond when visiting Rocky, playing with him, and taking him for a walk. We definitely recommend Isabella and will continue to use her service in the future.”
About: I’ve been around and caring for cats since 2018 and have always loved their unique personalities and quirks. I recently welcomed two cats of my own this year, giving me even more hands-on experience with feeding, playtime, litter box care, enrichment, and helping cats feel comfortable in a new environment. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to give each cat the care and attention they need while you’re away!
“Kim was excellent—she took such good care of my cat and followed all of my instructions to the t. She was very communicative and responsive, and I felt completely safe with my cat in her care. It was so nice not having to worry while I was away from home. I would absolutely book her again. I could tell she genuinely cared about making sure my cat was happy and safe and comfortable.”
“Lauren is wonderful. It doesn’t matter if we are leaving for the weekend or a week, we know our cat Regan will receive the attention and quality care we expect. Lauren honors her assignment. She is always punctual and stay longer than required. She is a great communicator, very detailed which we love. Can’t say enough about the services we receive and the love she shows Regan.”
“Megan helped us check on our 3 golden retrievers while we were away for a long weekend. She sent us photos every time she visited and we really liked how detailed she was on her daily reports. That really helped us feel less worried and relaxed during our trip. When we came back, our dogs were happy and healthy! We highly recommend her!!”
“Kimberly is a wonderful sitter, couldn't recommend more highly, my cat was very well taken care of and I got frequent updates and pictures! Would happily book again!”
“Stephanie took great care of our two cats! She sent us pictures of them and was awesome with communication. It was our first time ever using Rover, but we were very comfortable booking with Stephanie. She met with us beforehand and did everything we asked her to. Definitely would book again! 👍”
About: This is the first time in my life I have had no dog and 5 cats. Help me out of my withdrawals and let me help care for your pet! I'm available all hours! If you don't see the time slot you need, pick one and we'll work it out. I'd love to care for your furry friend! I can pick up and walk your dog any time, even multiple times each day. I can scoop litter boxes, pet kitties, and check on things for you.
“Randy is a fantastic pet sitter! He was so friendly and came over ahead of the drop-in visits to meet us and our animals and make sure he knew what to do. Would definitely rebook!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Elinor as our cat sitter! She was a great communicator from our initial request through her very last visit, which gave us a lot of peace of mind while we were away on an extended trip. Our cats don't always come out for strangers, so we were especially happy to see that they warmed up to her enough to come out for treats and even play with her during some of her visits. She sent us cute photos and thoughtful updates each day, which we really appreciated and loved seeing while we were away. Our flight home was unexpectedly delayed, and she was incredibly flexible about adding an extra day with the girls. It was such a relief knowing they were in good hands. We would definitely use her again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and communicative pet sitter!”
“This guy is amazing! We never had a worry in the world while we were on vacation...since we got pictures and detailed summaries of the days he spent with the cats! I believe the cats miss him already! We'll definitely ask him again to take care of the cats! Thanks Glenn!!!!!”
“Mary met with me and the cats beforehand and that was helpful. She sent pictures when she visited that showed the cats were comfortable with her. That reassured me that they were being well taken care of while I was away for a few days. We communicated easily.”
“Brittany was absolutely amazing with Love! My fur baby was recently diagnosed with kidney disease and I was able to go on vacation knowing that he would be able to get the subcutaneous fluids that he needed. She was very communicative, paid attention to detail, and was able to troubleshoot as things came up. Would absolutely have Brittany take care of Love again in the future.”
“Anna took great care of my pack on short notice. I was worried as I have never used a dog sitter but my pups loved meeting her which eased my mind. I will definitely rebook with Anna again.”

“Samantha is awesome! We are preparing for a long vacation so we wanted our puppy to get to know Samantha a long stay. Onyx came home very tired from playing! Thanks Samantha!”
“Austin was a pleasure to work with as he is a very good communicator and extremely responsive. Our standard poodle, Jojo, came home from his day of daycare all tuckered out. Austin has a large fenced in yard and played fetch with jojo, one of his favorite things to do. We will definitely be using Austin as our trusted dog sitter.”
“We needed a sitter so we could go to the Rock museum and Pam was gracious enough to take him for the day! Thank you, Pam! He was well taken care of.”
About: I have a variety of pet experience. Most notably with dogs, I have fostered over 13 dogs in the last several years through Kane's Mission. I am sure to give your dog personalized attention and love and care they deserve! We live in a great walkable community in Shaker Heights. We are happy to take your dog on walks and visits to the park, so they can have a nice vacation too! I can currently adapt to most pet care schedules. I have a flexible schedule from home, and I am here to offer a seamless transition. I have fenced in yard with room to romp around, and I am located in a great walking community with a park nearby. I can also come to you reliably to let your dog out and given home play, social, and exercise time.
“Caymus thoroughly enjoys his time with Kyle. From his daily walk and outdoor playtime to snuggles on the couch. He feels extremely comfortable and looks forward to his daycare with Kyle!”
“Seymour lives his best life while staying with Tongyezhi and her family. It's tough to give Seymour the attention he deserves at home with two toddlers running around so it is a major relief to be able to have him do daycare where he can have the extra fun he is missing at home.”
“Daniel was fantastic!! Very kind and welcoming. He eased my worries of leaving my dog as soon as I met him. I can’t thank him enough for today. He really helped me out by watching my dog at the last minute. My dog loved him!! I don’t think he wanted to leave. Daniel sent me pictures of my dog having a great time at his house. Those pictures are priceless. My dog is smiling in them😊 I will definitely be using Daniel in the future. Thank you again Daniel. It was very nice meeting you!!”
About: Hi there! I am a compassionate dog friend available for boarding, walks, check ins, and occasional house sitting. I love snuggling with cuddly dogs, playing with playful dogs, and walking with active and nature-loving dogs. I have been walking and watching dogs for many years, including walks, house sits, and boarding and have experience working with weak, old, and special needs dogs as well as picky eaters and dogs with special dietary needs. I am a dog lover at heart and am ready and willing to to create a vibe that fits your pooch! I am looking forward to meeting the sweet animals in your family and making them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you are away. Any questions? Feel free to write to me.
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: As a lifelong animal lover I have cared for dogs, cats and even rodents! For the past decade plus I had the honor and privilege to have cared for 2 dogs who lived fun and fulfilling lives to senior age. I am experienced with dogs who deal with reactivity, chronic illnesses, and mobility issues. I have acquired some basic training skills over the years including e-collar training. Please do not hesitate to send a message with details about your dog's specific needs. Together we can create the best care plan possible for your fluffy family members! I work remotely full time from home with a flexible schedule. Throughout my work day I diligently walk, water, feed, and play with any animals under my care. Pet needs can sometimes be unpredictable. My services can be made available to those in need of short-notice pet care. For those in need of pet boarding and short-term pet sitting I have a large fenced yard with plenty of toys, access to potty areas, and open access into my home. There is plenty of space for your dog to be comfortable and receive appropriate mental stimulation. Crate trained dogs are welcome though the majority of my experience is with non-crate trained dogs. I make a point to walk and play with your dog as much as necessary!

When i was growing up, i found myself spending more time with my dogs than actual people. I would watch movies with them and play with them! They made me feel safe and warm! Dogs are way better than humans in my opinion! I can make conversations with them, make them feel loved, and most importantly, make sure they’re cared for! I believe that everyone needs a companion/bff, even animals! That’s where i come in! Allow me to care and love for your dog as i would for my own! We will for sure make memories! I’m currently working part-time, so I’ll have tons of time to play with your pups! I always make sure to give all of my attention to the pups!

About: **Serious Inquiries Only *** With over 10 years of hands-on experience in pet care, I have developed a deep understanding and passion for working with small dog breeds and puppies. Throughout my career, I’ve been dedicated to providing top-tier care for both puppies and adult small breeds, helping them thrive in loving, healthy environments. I have worked extensively with a variety of small dog breeds, including Chihuahuas, Pomeranians, Yorkies, Shih Tzus, and Dachshunds. My experience spans everything from basic pet care and feeding to behavior management, training, and health monitoring. I specialize in the unique needs of small dogs, including their dietary requirements, exercise routines, and socialization skills. My approach is centered around building trust and positive relationships with the pets in my care. With puppies, I focus on early socialization, potty training, and establishing consistent routines to set them up for a well-adjusted adulthood. With adult small dogs, I work on maintaining good health, managing behavioral issues, and fostering strong bonds between pet and owner. I’m particularly passionate about understanding the individual personalities of each dog, ensuring they receive personalized care that meets their specific needs. My extensive background in pet care has allowed me to not only enhance the lives of the dogs I care for but also provide valuable advice and support to their owners, helping them navigate the joys and challenges of dog ownership. I am dedicated to provide my full attention to your pup throughout their entire stay! If it’s boarding or just a fun day at doggy day camp I can ensure your pup will have a great time! I have a fenced in back yard , plenty of toys and activities to keep your pup busy! My home has central air conditioning for hot summer days . I also have a small male shitzu to keep your pup company during their stay .
“Pogo had his very first day at daycare with Flora, and we couldn't be happier with our choice! He seemed so at home there as he dove right into the fun activities Flora had planned. It was such a joy to see him having an amazing time! The warm welcome we received was simply amazing. Flora really took the time to understand Pogo’s schedule, which made everything go so smoothly. Knowing he was in such great hands was incredibly reassuring. Flora was just a quick call or text away if we had any questions. As a sweet touch, she left us a handwritten note about Pogo’s day with her, which really put our minds at ease and showed us how much fun he had and the care she took of him. We can’t wait to book with Flora again in the future!”
About: I've owned and loved dogs all my life. I hate to leave my dogs at a kennel and think home dog sitting is a much better option. My goal is to make sure dogs don't feel abandoned when left temporarily, but rather give them the experience of a joyful vacation with "Grandpa Ron". I've almost never found a dog who didn't like me and have never found one I didn't like. I'm a widow, retired and living alone. I have plenty of time to devote to dogs who are left in my care. I schedule my own travel and outside activities so they are not at the same time when I am available for pet sitting. I limit the number of dogs I watch so that I can give full attention to each one. I have a large back yard, fully fenced, with plenty of squirrels for your furry friend to chase. I also give your dog full run of my house and he is allowed on my furniture and beds. I try to make myself available on holidays and popular travel times. If requested I offer pickup and delivery of your pet from your home.
About: I have been a pet owner for about four years now and truly have a passion for taking care of dogs and giving them freedom to have fun and be themselves. I work at night time so usually when I get up in the day, I have the most energy and that’s when I’m totally available for the time and attention for the love of dogs. I have a closed in gated fence, which allows the pets to have access to roam around handedly at Will I have a true passion for taking care of dogs.
“Fist time using Rover! 👍👍 first time meeting Lisa and Deisel 👍👍very last minute and Lisa welcomed us and made sure everyone was comfortable before I left. Everyone had a great day! Thank you Lisa!”

“Jackie has been great with our pup. We just moved to Cleveland and needed to go on a sudden trip. Jackie has made us feel like our dog Aria is in great hands for her walks while we are away”
“Kimberly has been walking our dog, Frankie, once a week, for about a month now. As a dog owner, my biggest priority when finding someone to come into our house and take care of our dog is trusting that person to keep him safe and love on him like we do. And that’s exactly what Kimberly provides for us! I always know that Frankie is in good hands and Kimberly always provides the cutest note about their walk together. He can be a challenging dog but Kimberly is great with him! We really appreciate the peace of mind that we’ve gotten since hiring Kimberly :)”
“Glenn has been great with my chiweenie. He’s very patient and reliable too! I would definitely recommend him and will plan to rebook with him in the future.”
“Brittany has been a great addition to Corbin's routine. She comes daily to walk, feed and play with him. She provides me with super cute pictures and an update on how he did”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since l was 10, with friends, family, and neighbors asking for pet care since l remember. I always enjoy spending time with furry loved ones. I care for two of my own dogs so it’s an everyday routine for me to care and check in on them when I do have to leave the house. I don’t have a job that requires me to be on site all the time so it’s perfect for my dogs schedule now that I have more time to be around them. At home I watch my dogs everyday, they are well trained so I don’t have to be super vigilant on them because I know them won’t leave the yard. They are fed twice a day and I try to walk them everyday. As for a clients home it depends on their schedule and how they care for their dog, but whatever their dogs needs are I will provide the service of fulfilling it.
“Elizabeth was lovely with my pups. I have one stubborn and one typically shy around new people. She won them over quickly and she has two new fur friends now! Will definitely hire her again.”
About: Will care for furbabies with feeding, walks, playtime, and treats. I have had my dog (lola) and cat (spice) for a couple years now and love them dearly, I am hoping to create space to care for your babies as well. I’m currently studying for my licensed social work exam and have time around my study schedule to care for your pets! I currently have open availability. Pet care will differ depending on what is requested by pet parent. I will care for your pets with walks, feedings, baths, nail clippings, cleaning litter boxes/picking up after dogs, etc. Open to short term boarding but prefer client home care/support.
About: I am the person at a party that hangs out with the pets of the house instead of socializing. I have pretty much always had a dog in my house. I am currently my dog’s secondary care giver but during the day I become the primary. I currently work a part time job that takes up my time after 4:30pm on week days and around 5:30-11:00 am on weekends. My Sunday’s will be free after the 27th though I can easily crate your dog if needed, I am pretty cuddly and also love playing with dogs. I am also an avid hiker and love long walks.
About: I have been taking care of dogs for a little over a decade for my friends and family. I also worked at a dog daycare while in college, where I played, fed cuddled, loved, did house visits and overall cared for about any dog breed you can think of! On a regular day at the daycare, we would have around 25 different dogs at a time to care for. I also have have my own dog named Harley and he’s the best boy! I currently work full time but will be slowly transitioning into a new phase of life within the next month so I will have a lot of free time. I plan to focus on pet care fully! I will always treat your fur baby like one of my own. They will have my full attention when I am with them and I will make sure their needs are met. I will follow all instructions you have and give them all of the love to make sure they are happy!
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover and proud dog mom to Baker, our 5-year-old adopted coonhound. He’s such a big part of my life that he even inspired me to write and publish a children’s book about him, Learning to Count with Baker the Dog! Having Baker has given me years of firsthand experience with the responsibility, attention, patience, and love that go into caring for a dog. My husband and I also regularly help care for our sister-in-law’s two dogs when she’s away, sometimes having them stay with us for several days at a time. We also love helping our friends by watching their dogs in our home when they need a sitter. I know how important it is to feel completely comfortable with the person caring for your pet. Whether your dog is staying with me, needs a walk, or just needs some extra attention and company, I’ll treat them with the same care and affection I give Baker. I’m happy to follow your dog’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, or other instructions you provide. I also understand that every dog has their own personality, and I’ll take the time to learn what makes yours feel comfortable and happy. You can expect dependable care, great communication, plenty of updates and photos, and lots of attention for your pup. I’d love to meet you and your dog and help give you peace of mind while you’re away! I work fully remote from home, which gives me a lot of flexibility throughout the day and makes pet care fit very naturally into my routine. I’m able to be present for regular walks, potty breaks, feeding times, playtime, and plenty of attention throughout the day rather than leaving a dog alone for long stretches. Because my schedule is flexible, I can also adjust around each dog’s normal routine and specific needs. Whether your pup is staying with me, needs a daytime visit, or just benefits from some extra company and attention, I’m able to make their care a consistent part of my day. When caring for pets in my home, I do my best to make them feel comfortable, safe, and part of the family. Since I work remotely, I’m able to be home with them throughout much of the day for regular potty breaks, walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of attention. I also make sure to follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible and will learn about their personality, preferences, and any special instructions before their stay. Because we have our own dog, Baker, I prefer to do a meet-and-greet before boarding whenever possible so we can make sure the dogs are comfortable together. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of both their home and their pet’s established routine. I’ll follow all instructions for feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and any other care needs, while making sure their pet receives plenty of attention and companionship. For either type of care, communication is very important to me. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets As a business owner, I have a flexible schedule and can tailor my availability to meet each pet’s needs. I’m able to adjust my schedule when needed to provide the best care possible. I own my home ( with my Husband ) and have a nice fenced in backyard with lots of grass to run around. I also have 2 fur babies of my own. Lillie is (F) yorkipoo and Cayde is (M) labor doodle. Your fur baby will never feel lonely. My 2 dogs are friendly and love to meet new people. Fun fact: Lillie and Cayde have their own bedroom
“Kaley was absolutely wonderful! She cared for my two, very large (and occasionally rambunctious) labradors for two weeks while I was in Pittsburgh for business. I can offer superlatives only for her reliability and her kindness to my boys, who adored her. I recommend her 100%!”
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.
“10/10 I would recommend Alyssa. She came and walked our beloved dog while we were out of town and our dog was home with gramma. She came and met him before booking to make sure they were a good fit. She was flexible with the schedule when the weather called for rain. She kept us updated with pictures and summaries of their walks. She also gave him his meds, treats and water.”
“I booked Octavia for a last minute walk with my pup and everything was fantastic! We had good communication, she was on time, and she gave a great summary at the end of the walk. I’m adding her to my roster of walkers ASAP.”
About: I’ve helped take care of and train dogs of various sorts and sizes since I can walk along with my dad. I’ve gotten my love for animals as a whole from him and it’s the perfect therapy and job. Having many dogs, cats, birds, turtles, fish and pet crabs throughout my life has helped me to have an extra sense of care, love, and attention for all animals. I’m currently working part-time, so I’m available to play, train, and care for your lovable furry friend 7 days a week from 8am to 2pm and 9pm to 12am. I have a fenced front yard and backyard for your lovely pets to freely roam and play with me. I also have a 7 year old Shih Tzu and a 2 year old cat (both females) whom are very loving, calm, and ecstatic to meet a new friend. A crate is available upon request as well.
About: I have spent the last several years providing dedicated, high-quality pet care for families across Cleveland Heights, Shaker Heights, and the surrounding East Side suburbs. My background isn't just about feeding and walking; it’s about understanding animal behavior and providing a seamless, stress-free experience for both the pets and their owners. Over the years, I have successfully cared for a wide variety of personalities and needs—ranging from high-energy Beagles to gentle senior pups who require a more patient, attentive touch. I specialize in keeping anxious animals calm and grounded while their families are away, often using custom environmental cues (like playing or making soothing music) to help them relax. My approach to pet sitting is built on old-fashioned reliability, mature professionalism, and absolute respect for your privacy. When I watch your pets or stay in your home, my focus is entirely on the animals, not on a phone screen. I take pride in being a conscientious, neat guest, ensuring you return to a space that is just as clean and orderly as you left it, alongside happy, relaxed pets. Most pets tend to flock right to me. With six cats at present and a handful of cats and dogs down through the years we've built a rapport. Besides the basic maintenance of feeding and walking/scooping companionship is essential and it's important for them to feel safe and appreciated. Working both part-time and freelance, my schedule is pretty flexible and few things are set in stone. Tell me what you need and I'll work around your schedule. Our six cats, all but one rescues, are indoor cats. Bowls are washed twice a day before each feeding. Boxes are scooped daily with one going out of commission for cleaning every week. Baking soda is under the littler and sometimes a little more is mixed on top if needed. When I lived with dogs I walked them twice a day taking a good long walk around the neighborhood so they ould get exercise and fresh air. I refer to them as “he” and “she” not “it”.

“We’re really happy with Debra and how she handled everything for our dog while we were out of town. We arranged for a meetup before the stay to ensure this would be a good match. When I dropped off our dog there was an introduction to the other pets in her home so our pup could get acclimated. While we were away we received daily updates with photos and it looked like our pup was having a great time. Thanks for taking good care and we look forward to scheduling with you again!”
“Our elderly Lab stayed overnight night with Natalia. She was wonderful with her care, compassion, and kept us updated with texts and photos of our Bella! We will definitely use Natalia again and highly recommend her!”
“Thank you Takia for taking such great care of Charlie! We appreciated the communication and updates throughout the sit. He was clearly happy after spending time with your family. Thank you again!”
About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs since I was a child, and they have always been a very special part of my life. Back home in Thailand, I have four dogs who are truly part of my family. I cared for them from when they were little puppies through their senior years before I moved to the U.S. to study.🫶🏻 . I usually start my day around 7:30 AM, and one of the first things I’ll do is take your pup outside for a morning walk. On Mondays and Wednesdays, I have class for about three hours from 9am -12pm. After class, I’m available until around 4:00 PM, when I leave for my part-time job and get home around 8pm. On Tuesday, Thursday and Friday, I go to work from 11-2pm & 4:30-8pm. I do get a break from 2:30-4, so I’ll be able to come let your pup out for a potty break on those days & I’ll also be able to walk and play if weather permits. I’m off on Saturday & sundays 🏡 My Home & Safety I have a spacious home with a large, fully fenced yard, giving your pup plenty of room to play, explore, and enjoy time outside safely. My neighborhood is peaceful and dog-friendly, with many families, children, and dogs around, making it a great environment for walks and outdoor time. Your dog’s safety and comfort are very important to me. I want every pup staying with me to feel safe, relaxed, and loved — just like they’re at home. 🐶❤️ To keep my home and neighborhood safe and comfortable for everyone, I currently accept dogs who are: 💉 Up to date on vaccinations 🏠 House-trained 🐾 Spayed or neutered 🚨 Please let me know if your dog has any allergies, health concerns, or special needs I should know about. 🐶🤎
“Thank you Brittany for caring for our girl while we were on vacation.She was so relaxed and calm when we returned gave us piece of mind to see the picture of her relaxing with your family. "The Fleshman Family "”
“Kyle is absolutely amazing! I’ve had some horrible Rover experiences so I was very anxious about using it again, but Kyle has dispelled all of that. My girls literally LOVED him from the moment they met him which is wild because my dogs don’t ever warm up that quickly! Kyle has helped me out with last minute care a couple of times now and I’m so grateful. He takes them on walks and sends TONS of videos and pictures. I can tell he truly loves dogs and caring for them, which is all that I want in a sitter. 100/10 recommend. I will always use him!❤️”
“Cordelia was a great sitter for my cat Pandan for 6 days. She was very accommodating on our visit and flexible with drop off and pick ups. Based on all the photos she sent, he seemed like he enjoyed his time there. I would definitely book again.”
“Lana did a great job looking after my dogs for the long weekend! She sent photos and kept me up to date with how they were doing. One of my dogs needs medication twice a dog which was administered. There is a lot of space on her property for playing and my dogs had lots of fun!”
“Shannon did such a great job caring for Cinna. She took her for walks, gave me frequent updates & lots of pictures, and gave Cinna lots of love & attention! She also has a nice big fenced in backyard and two sweet pups of her own that Cinna could play with all weekend. Looking forward to booking with her again!”
“I had such a great experience with Dejuan! He made me feel comfortable from the beginning by allowing me to come over for a meet-and-greet before Kane’s stay. Throughout his time with Kane, he consistently sent pictures, videos, and updates without me even having to ask. I really appreciated his communication and attention to detail. Kane came home happy and well taken care of, which means everything to me! I would absolutely book with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their fur baby!”
“The best sitters my little big boy has had by far!!!! They took such good care of baby boy. They administered his meds and showered him with love. He came back happy, healthy. and his BEST self. I can’t thank them enough. See you soon”
“Kaitlynn was awesome. She touched base with me daily with updates and pictures of Bailey. She was accommodating to Bailey and her needs. I will definitely book with Kaitlynn again.”
“Austin took SUCH wonderful care of my dog, Kalliopi! She is a 4-month old rescue, so she is full of puppy energy and has some separation anxiety on top of that. Needless to say, I was incredibly nervous about leaving her for the first time. Austin made it clear from the very beginning how seriously he takes caring for the animals under his watch, and his two incredibly sweet dogs made wonderful buddies for my pup while I was away. He sent lots of updates throughout her time with him, which gave me even more peace of mind to know that she was doing well and in great hands. My dog loved Austin and had an amazing experience with him, and I really can’t recommend him enough. Thank you so much!!”
“There’s not enough superlatives to describe the job done by Tove and Gerald. From our first discussion to final pickup, they were attentive to our wishes and some of the special needs of our dogs. On top of just ensuring regular needs were met, they took our dogs on walks, taught them to use a doggy door, and provided us with photos/videos of the dogs while we were out of the country in order to provide us piece of mind. We cannot recommend Tove and Gerald enough!”
“2nd time leaving my fur baby with Angela. Starting to feel like family. My Nacho had so much fun with her dogs and her grandchildren. He looked so at home. Angela will forever be my sitter of choice!!!!”
