Pet Sitting in Kent

“Anna is a wonderful sitter and human! She accommodated my last minute request, which truly saved me so much stress and worry! She always ensured my cat had plenty of attention and love. She even took out the food and litter trash because I was going to be gone for weeks. I will 100% book Anna again, and you should too!! (Thank you Anna, you're a lifesaver!)”

“Matthew was fantastic with William! He stopped in to play and take care of William everyday, and sent plenty of pictures so William’s parents could see how he was doing. William clearly formed a strong bond and loved cuddling with Matthew! I highly recommend Matthew to anyone looking for someone to watch their fur baby!”

“Shelby was absolutely incredible with our kitty Milo. He needed two pills a day and if anyone has tried to give pills to cats, you know how difficult that can be. Shelby spent time with our Milo and gained his trust, making pull time less stressful. Shelby has a kind and gentle way with animals and we were so happy to get daily pictures. It eased our mind as we enjoyed our vacation.”

“Rachel and her husband where very nice. You feel like they could be your neighbors. They took care of my Zoey, a St. Bernard who has anixiety issues and I can home to a happy dog. They sent updates and walking maps and images of Zoey. I couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter if it was me myself. Thank you very much guys! I’m lucky to have found you.”

“Rebekah was great. We had some problems with our electric locks so she had to go to our our house twice the first day. She worked through the issue with us. Sent great pics and updates for every drop in. We knew the cats were being well taken care of. We will ask for her help again in the future.”

“Ciara was an absolute gem and took great care of our dog while we were away! She stopped by to meet before we left and it was clear that she was an avid animal lover. She was always prompt with sending updates and adorable pictures after drop-ins. And we came back to a very happy dog who was clearly well-cared for in our absence - 10/10 will book again 🙂”

“Isabella is trustworthy and followed all special care instructions perfectly. I look forward to having Isabella come into our home and provide care for our cat during our next time away.”

About: Hi, I love dogs and have a large fenced yard in Kent near Kent State, I offer overnight dog sitting and doggy day care in my home for short or long stays. My 14 yr old dog (Bentley, a beagle mix) died recently so do not have a dog at my home now, I do have an older cat, but I can block the stairs so he can have her own space (if your dog isn’t cat friendly) I will give your dog lots of attention and in addition to the fenced yard, I will walk them around the neighborhood, typically going on at least two walks a day. As well, I will take him or her to the unofficial neighborhood fenced "dog park" (if they like to play with other dogs). I am an Art professor at KSU, I have two teenagers, we love love love dogs and after fencing my yard in 2012 I decided I would like to have visitors. It will be like doggy camp, they'll have a blast and will be loved and cherished. My schedule is pretty flexible so when I’m working outside of my home it’s rarely more than 4 hours that I’m gone. I also have my kids around to help if I’m not home. I have a fenced yard but take the dogs for walks. Usually the dogs sleep upstairs in my bedroom on the floor in their dog bed, or small dogs can sleep with me :).

About: I had a dog growing up with that I would walk and help take care of but I don’t have any actually experienced pet sitting a dog but would really love to start! I work a full time retail job as an assistant manager at Michael Kors. I do not have a set schedule so I will have random days off during the week or on the weekend. I also have days where I am off at 5pm. I live in an apartment so currently my only job interests right now would be be drop ins and opportunities to come walk pets at your home.

“Alyssa was great with our dog! Will book with her again”

“Dana was excellent with our fur babies! Is highly recommend her! I loved all the pictures she took of them! I know my babies were in good hands with her!”

“She took EXCELLENT care of my puppy! Loved that we did a meet and greet before hand so that she could be semi familiar with my puppy and I. She left great reports and pics too. Glad to know my puppy was in good hands! 100 percent recommend!”

“Sydney is one of the most caring individuals of all animals that I ever seen. She compassionate when it comes to animals. I seen her take in a dog that was broken due to how he was treated previously and seen the positive results in the dog. I absolutely think that she is the person for the job. Dan Bowens”

“Kazia took care of my cat (socks) a few months ago. She spent a lot of time with him and sent me pictures to update me while I was gone. He was very well taken care of!”

About: With a lifelong love for dogs, I've dedicated myself to their care and well-being. As a devoted volunteer at Summit County Humane Society, I've honed my skills in working with all dogs regardless of breed, shape, size or age. I believe that positive behavior training, and, as such, have completed several courses in positive dog training, including 'Leash Reactive Dogs,' 'Dog Enrichment,' and 'Dogs and Kids,' equipping me with valuable expertise to ensure every dog's needs are met. My experience extends to caring for senior dogs with tenderness and empathy. At home, I've successfully trained our own dog-reactive pup using positive reinforcement techniques. As a middle school teacher, I bring patience, understanding, and a love for learning to every canine interaction. I thrive on the joy of walking and running with dogs, ensuring each outing is filled with fun, exercise, and positive reinforcement. As a teacher, my schedule allows me to dedicate ample time to pet care, especially during afternoons, weekends, and throughout the summer. During these periods, I prioritize providing attentive and loving care to pets under my watch through regular walks, engaging play sessions, and beneficial training exercises. At home, my own dog benefits from daily walks, playtime, enrichment activities and weekly runs, activities I eagerly anticipate sharing with other animals in my care. Pet care isn't just a responsibility; it's a source of joy and fulfillment, and I eagerly look forward to extending the same level of care and attention to other animals as I do my own. Communication with pet parents is paramount to ensuring the safety and well-being of their furry companions. By clearly understanding expectations, I can establish a trusting relationship with both the dog and their owner, setting us all up for success. This open dialogue also allows me to identify and avoid any triggers that may cause stress or discomfort for the animal. With training in positive behavior methods for leash reactivity and interactions with children, I prioritize creating a safe and positive environment for every dog in my care. I believe in allowing dogs to approach and familiarize themselves with me at their own pace, building trust and rapport before engaging in activities. By fostering this sense of comfort and trust, I aim to make every interaction an enjoyable and happy experience for the animal and myself.

I am a student full time currently but my schedule is flexible. I’m free most mornings and every evening, just reach out and ask I’m sure I can work something into my schedule! I know how to care for any animal and cater to their needs. I will follow your care instructions and provide the best care for your pet!

“Claire is amazing and my boys love her. She is always prompt, sends the cutest photos, and makes me so comfortable while I am away. I would recommend her 100x over to anybody!”

“Teresa is a responsible and loving caregiver for my pup. She does a great job communicating (pics and updates) and being dependable. My pup absolutely loves her as Teresa makes sure to give plenty of love, naps, and exercise. So grateful to have her as a dog walker and sometimes house sitter. She is a great plant caretaker too! :)”

About: I’m a dedicated dog sitter and it’s really important to me to provide personalized care tailored to each pups needs!

We can work out a schedule that fits for the both of us! When caring for pets in your home, I prioritize their well-being by ensuring regular feeding, exercise, and playtime.

“Delaney helped care for my three dogs (two akitas and a goldendoodle) when I was unable to spend a lot of time with them during a busy time in my life. She made sure they were fed and taken care of and was great at communicating updates while she spent time with them.”
