Fear Free Certified Professional Pet Sitter 2021
Fear Free Certified Daycare Professional 2023
Pet First Aid & CPR Certified
Meet Kaelyn Winkler, the mastermind behind On Cloud Canine. With over a decade of animal behavior expertise, Kaelyn has crafted a pet care service that caters to your furry friend's fear, stress, or anxiety. Her passion for pets goes beyond making them happy campers; she's an animal advocate at heart. Since she was young, Kaelyn has loved and cared for all sorts of critters, from dogs to horses! She pursued her degree in veterinary studies while still in high school and began her pet care career at 19.
Her precious beagle, Blu, inspired her to create a pet care business that would cater to the unique needs of pets like him. She choses a Fear Free approach, because she believes every animal deserves to be treated with the same love, trust, respect, and loyalty they show us. And so, On Cloud Canine was born!
Kaelyn's favorite part of her job is helping pets that have a tough time trusting new people or suffer from separation anxiety. She loves working with their parents to create positive experiences and giving them a much-needed break.
When she's not cuddling furry friends, you can find her hanging with her partner Ross, reading, hiking, kayaking, practicing yoga, attending concerts, or cruising on her motorcycle.
Fun Fact: In 2022, Kaelyn was contracted to create a Continuing Education course for other FF Certified Professionals!
We're so grateful for your support of our woman-owned small business!

Victoria W
she/they
Paws & Promotions Specialist
(Pet Companion & Marketing Specialist)
Certified Pet Care Professional
Pet First Aid & CPR Certified
Meet Victoria! Growing up surrounded by animals, from the family dog to the neighborhood strays, they developed a deep connection with the natural world at a young age. Every wagging tail, purr, and chirp helped develop a language of empathy and understanding. These early experiences ignited a passion within, driving them to explore the intricate bonds between humans and animals further.
As an avid animal lover with a passion for their well-being, Victoria brings a unique blend of expertise and compassion to every dog walking session. With a background deeply rooted in animal care and a commitment to fear-free practices, they prioritize the comfort and happiness of your furry companions above all else.
Beyond a dedication to animals, they are also a passionate artist, jewelry maker, and photographer. In their free time, you'll often find them exploring creative pursuits and spending time with their emotional support animal, Toast. Whether it's through the lens of their camera or the gentle guidance of a dog leash, their mission remains the same: to spread love, compassion, and joy to all creatures great and small.
Alyssa D
she/her
Pet Companion & Playgroup Supervisor
Certified Pet Care Professional
Pet First Aid & CPR Certified
Since Alyssa was a young girl, her curious mind has always had a knack for challenging the status quo. She constantly tested the "norms" and questioned how things were supposed to be done, which fueled her resourcefulness and sparked an unspoken connection with the natural world. Even before fully realizing it, she was a planet and animal advocate at heart, always drawn to the quiet wisdom of the earth and its creatures.
For the past eight years, Alyssa has immersed herself in the pet industry, gathering a wealth of experience across various sectors. Her insatiable curiosity has led her to continually expand her knowledge in the ever-evolving world of animal care. This dedication is evident as she works toward finishing her Bachelor's degree in Environmental Science & Conservation Biology—a perfect blend of passion and purpose.
One of her favorite quotes speaks to her gentle, yet profound philosophy:
"She asks me to kill the spider? Instead I get the most peaceful weapons I can find. I take a cup and a napkin. I catch the spider, put it outside, and allow it to walk away. If I am ever caught in the wrong place at the wrong time, just being alive and not bothering anyone, I hope I am greeted with the same kind of mercy." — Rudy Francisco
Outside of her professional world, Alyssa shares her life with four beloved furry companions: two golden retrievers, Gunner and Gracie, and two cats, Sasha and Cleveland. When she's not caring for her four-legged family, Alyssa enjoys reading, journaling, playing adult recreational softball, tending to her garden, and experimenting in the kitchen.
Her mission is clear: to bring transparency and safety into every aspect of her work, always advocating for the well-being of the animals while ensuring they receive the best care possible. In her world, the welfare of her furry friends is not just a priority—it's a way of life.

Meet Ashlee, a biology graduate from Kent State with a passion for all things furry and feathered. Her love for animals was ignited in her youth and has been burning bright ever since. She started her career as a veterinary medicine pro in 2019 and worked her way up to become the head honcho of the clinic team by 2023. But Ashlee's animal-loving heart didn't stop there. After discovering the wonders of professional pet sitting, she dove headfirst into mastering On Cloud Canine, eager to explore all aspects of her passion, especially animal behavior.
When she's not playing with her own pack of four dogs and two cats (Pita, Cash, Wilson, Peaches, Geode & Bumi), you might find her lost in a good book, exploring the great outdoors, or sipping on a scrumptious cup of Lemon Gunpowder Green Tea from her favorite local spot, Ohio Tea Company.
