“Flora was the ideal for what I was hoping to find in this app! She was attentive and obviously very sweet to my boy - he was so sad to see her go! I appreciate how communicative and helpful she was, and look forward to having her back soon.”


About: I have had pets all my life, including dogs, cats, turtles, lizards and fish. I used to consistently volunteer at an animal shelter, and overall am just extremely passionate about animals and their wellbeing. I began to pet sit (animals other than my own) about 6 years ago. I was referred by a family friend, and ever since then, whenever I home from college I am watching someone's pet! This has become less often since I am not home a lot as I am a full-time college student, but I would like to get back into it. Especially because I miss my own furry friends at home! I am a full-time college student, and have a part-time job. My schedule is pretty loose, though, so I will likely always have time to walk your dog, feed your cat or whatever else you need! I have dealt with a variety of animals throughout my life, including ones that are scared or a bit too energetic. I am a patient person, and am willing to make sure your pets are comfortable with me in whatever way.

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.

About: As a prior dog owner, I have a big soft spot for them and would love to help take care of them. No problem at all with playing the day away. With a big park and beach to explore my routine consists of enjoying the natural beauty of the neighborhood and learning about the pet owners in the area. I like to provide quality care when I see the needs arise. From claw trims to brushing I love seeing a happy & healthy pet!

“Wonderful with my pet!”


About: I offer comprehensive pet care services backed by a lifetime of experience with diverse animals, from small rodents to large breeds like my Irish wolfhound. Having had cats since I was 10, I'm skilled in managing multiple pets, including reptiles like my tortoise and various birds. I'm comfortable walking dogs of all sizes and have a proven record of reliable pet-sitting, ensuring their animals are well-fed, cared for, and happy. As a pet sitter with a weekday job from 6:30 AM to 2:30 PM, I ensure your pets are well-cared for by providing a morning visit before work for feeding, fresh water, and a quick walk or playtime. During my workday, I can arrange a midday visit. After work, I dedicate my time to your pets, offering walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of cuddles. Weekends are fully devoted to providing extra care, including longer walks, park visits, and any specific grooming or playtime activities your pets enjoy. When caring for pets in a client's home, safety, trust, and a comfortable environment are my top priorities. I begin by thoroughly understanding each pet's specific needs, routines, and any medical conditions. I ensure the home is pet-proofed and free of hazards, and I strictly adhere to the owner's instructions regarding feeding, medication, and exercise. Building trust involves gentle interactions, consistent routines, and positive reinforcement. For overnight stays, I maintain a calm and secure atmosphere, respecting the pet's usual sleeping arrangements and providing companionship. During dog walks, I use a secure leash, remain vigilant of the surroundings, and follow the owner's preferred walking routes and commands, always prioritizing the pets safety and well-being.

“Mandy is great with our three doodles. They really enjoy her visits and it’s been a great piece of mind to know she’s got eyes on our pups during long work days. We’d highly recommend her!!”


“Jessica is an exceptional pet sitter! Our animals were clearly well-cared for during her visits, and we received regular updates and photos. We highly recommend her services.”


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.

About: I have helped my sister Kelsey watch dogs for years now and have grown up around a couple! It doesn’t matter old/young and big/small I will love your fur baby like I would my own! I have experience following a range of dog needs. I can administer pill medication. In the past I’ve had to follow very strict feeding instructions to assure the dog wouldn’t have any medical problems. I’ll follow any and all instructions that are given to provide clarity that your pet is properly taken care of like you never left. I currently work part time at a restaurant but I really would love to make pet sitting more than just a hobby. I won’t accept a job unless I know that I can provide the care that you need! I will follow any and all instructions given to me to provide the best care while you are away! I prefer to watch pets in their own home so they are as comfortable as possible!

About: I have had two dogs one of them since they were a puppy. I have been asked to dog sit for multiple families on more than one occasion.

I follow the structure/ times the families are usually home. I have no problem transporting dogs in my car if necessary. I can give oral medication as necessary as well.

My cat adores her, and we will definitely use her services again!”
