“Abby is amazing! She was timely and thorough with her visits and reporting. She was attentive to my baby’s needs and when he needed more play time and attention. She sent plenty of updates and pics of my Bentley smiling! :-) This was our first time using this service and I couldn’t have gotten a better person”


“Lauren has been amazing with our three doodles. They clearly love their visits with her and it is so nice to know someone has eyes on them during the work day. We definitely recommend working with Lauren!!”


“Lauren has been incredible during her drop-ins! She has gone above and beyond our expectations. Our dog is unsure around new people, but Lauren has gone out of her way to make him feel comfortable during visits by bringing him a peanut butter lick mat and playing with him in the backyard. My wife and I look forward to the action shots she sends us after every visit. It is so clear that she genuinely loves and cares for dogs. Knowing our pup is in good hands while we are away has brought us great comfort. We highly recommend Lauren!!”


About: Over the years, I have cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, and even reptiles, offering services ranging from daily feeding and walking to administering medication and providing companionship. My experience has taught me to be patient, attentive, and proactive in handling any pet’s unique needs and routines. I am also well-versed in recognizing signs of distress or illness and can act quickly and responsibly in any situation. I am semi-retired 61 yrs young and a advid animal lover. I find great satisfaction watching animals respond in their loving playful manner. They are joyous creatures. I will not be house sitting at my residence. I will arrive at your location in a punctual manner and make it my priority to make the pet happy.

“Kelsey did a wonderful job with my dog! She was prompt with messages and gave a great detailed review of her time at my house. I would recommend and I will rebook for sure!”


“Anna did a terrific job looking after our babies while we were away. She sent pictures and a detailed update with every visit, which I truly appreciated. I would highly recommend her and I plan on booking with her for future visits.”


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.

About: With nearly 20 years of experience with animals, my love for animals is unmatched, and I bring the same joyful, loyal energy as a golden retriever. Your pup will be in caring, compassionate hands- loved, protected, and treated like family every step of the way. I'm currently taking a sabbatical after leaving my job of 8 years, which means I have plenty of time and flexibility in my schedule to care for your furry best friend. Whether it's a walk, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company, I’m available and happy to help give them the attention and care they deserve throughout the day. Your pup will be treated like family in a clean, smoke free home nestled on 70 acres. The property includes fenced-in areas for safe play and scenic trails leading to the Chagrin River- perfect for outdoor adventures. Small and medium crates are available if that’s part of your dog’s daily routine. If caring for your pet your pet in your home, you can rest assured I’ll treat your space with the utmost respect-just as I would my own- and always honor your boundries.

“Whitney is great with my dogs. We use her for every single trip and trust that she will take the best care of our pups. She’s also good with administering medications as my older dog is on a few different ones. Highly recommend.”


About: I have been caring for cats and dogs since I was 19 and have grown up with pets my entire life. Over the years, I’ve become the trusted pet sitter for several households, with friends often recommending me to their families for both short and long-term care. My lifelong experience with having pets growing up gives me a deep understanding of the care and attention they need from when they are puppies to seniors. I know how important it is for pet owners to have peace of mind, and I’m committed to ensuring your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I work remotely for Mayo Clinic, allowing me the flexibility to provide dedicated and reliable care. I work remotely for Mayo Clinic, where I’ve been for over 1 year. I’m available most weekends. I prefer to plan house sitting at least 1-2 weeks in advance, but I’m flexible and can accommodate last-minute requests when needed! I am happy to take your dog outside for bathroom breaks and can stay with them if you prefer. I understand the challenges of not having a fenced yard, so I’m comfortable using a leash or yard chain as needed. I’m adaptable to your dog’s individual needs—whether they require extra attention or prefer their space. I’m also experienced in walking dogs and can provide any specific care they might need, including following detailed feeding schedules, administering medication, and more.
