Doggy Day Care in Struthers

“Candis went well above and beyond! I had a last minute request that I didn't expect to be answered, but she came through and enabled us to give our daughter and impromptu birthday trip. The care Koa received was exceptional, and he came back happier than when he left. Our entire family (with and without fur) are greatly appreciative of the job done by Candis! *** extra stars! 10/10 would recommend, and will be coming back.”

About: I love animals and my babies are my life. I have 1 cat currently. I can walk, feed, play, love, administer meds, or care for your pets in any way you need. I enjoy spending time with animals and would love to meet you and your babies. I can walk more than one dog at a time if needed. I've had dogs and cats in all stages of life from birth until the end and will work to ensure your pet trust and feels comfortable with me when I visit. I work M-F 9:30am-6pm and pet sit around that schedule which can be somewhat flexible. Feel free to message me to see if we can work out a schedule. Pets are part of the family and I can accommodate the needs of the pets/owners. I understand some people don't let pets on furniture and some do, some pets are nervous around strangers and some need extra attention when their family is away. I think once we meet and you provide the instructions for what your pet(s) need, you will feel comfortable leaving them in my care.

“Carissa is a wonderful lady who has owned pets for the last 20 yrs ,,,,they have all been from rescue groups and she treats them like children , very loving !! She is currently fostering a little Boston Terrier for a rescue group ( " Speak for the Unspoken " ) out of Columbus, Ohio. He came from an Amish Puppy Mill and has thrived in her care. He is very loving and she has done a wonderful job w/taking care of him. He just loved her other dog, Gus , so they got along famously . He is getting adopted in a few weeks, the couple who met him fell in love with him instantly. This is the type of person Carissa is , helping those who need help and have no voice. If you would consider having her watch your furbabies, I can tell you without a doubt they will be thoroughly loved and cared for !!”

About: I have had two small dogs that were the light of my life! Currently, I have Tanna my rescue chihuahua. I watch my sister’s pit bull (Dawn), my brother’s large dog (Maggie) and my friend’s medium and small dog (Cooper with Tanna). I have worked with young children for 16 years as an elementary school counselor, I am great with positive reinforcement. It is my passion to help children and animals thrive and feels safe! I love to go on walks and play with dogs! I would be honored to provide care, cuddles and fun with your dog! If you book me for house sitting, I wanted to let you know that I am allergic to down/feathers. I can bring my own bed linens to accommodate this allergy. I am currently retired and volunteer at The Butler Institute of American Art one day a week for 3 hours. This leaves me open to provide your pet with all the love, time and attention they need. I would never let any harm come to an animal! I have a large back yard, live close to several parks, for walkies and I have tons of energy to give towards the happiness of your pet. I feel like pets are family.

“Stella had so much fun with Kaitlyn and her boys. I got so many updates and photos that had me cracking up all day. There were times she was guarding her youngest while he slept. Too funny. We were from out of town and Kaitlyn was so understanding about us coming early and picking up Stella later and she didn't want to leave. She was having too much fun. If we are ever in the area we would definitely book again. Thanks!!!”

“Carly is very dependable. She has been my first choice for dog sitting for years while I was travel nursing. She is Beverly good about following the list of do’s and don’ts that I left for her and I know she loves my grizzly (chocolate lab) and cares for him well. She is extremely trustworthy and capable.”

“Quick, responsive, and very convenient. Send videos and let me know how she was doing the whole time.”

“Izzy took such good care of my puppy! She walked, played with her and cuddled. She took such great care of her! I highly recommend!!”

“Highly recommend! My pup never had a sitter before and she felt very comfortable with her! Got into her car and everything, Alexis also sent me numerous texts with pictures to ease my mind.”

About: I’ve spent my whole life caring for large varieties of animals, from cats and dogs to reptiles and guinea pigs and farm animals. I’m no specialist, but I’ve got more pets than you can count on your fingers and being there for them is my greatest joy in life! My partner works and I spend time doing miscellaneous outdoor work occasionally, but otherwise I am home and usually available. I love to take my dogs for walks in the woods, and sometimes even my cat! When sitting in your home, I am sure to remember every little detail from meet-n-greets so that I can provide the ideal care your baby needs. I am open to and probably at the least a little bit experienced with your pets quirky must-haves, such as crating, food rituals, needing high or low energy, etc. I am always happy to spend time outdoors with dogs, and cats as well if they are harnessed and comfortable! I’ve never met a cat or dog I haven’t instantly fallen in love with!!

“Arnie loved spending the day with Nicole and Kahlua. He seemed sad to leave when we picked him up! Thank you so much for enriching Arnie’s day!”

About: Hi, I’m a mother of 3 children and I’m great at taking care of pets and people! Will take care and love them like my own. Im currently a stay at home mom, so I love helping others by playing, walking, or hanging out with their dog. I bring my son to preschool Tuesday and Thursday but at home most of the time. I have a acre lot but no fence. 20 ft long leash to let them out to play. I have a two year old pup to let them play with and children who love to play too.

About: Although I’ve had pets my whole life from dogs to snakes to fish, I received my first puppy that was solely my responsible when I was 14. One of the greatest gifts I could have ever received and I cherished every moment. I got her early so I had to start by bottle-feeding her and that’s where it all began. Before changing degree plans, I went to school for Pre-Vet and most of my volunteer work has been at animal shelters or foster care. At my last duty station, many of my friends trusted me to take in their pets while they were deployed and at one time I was caring for 4 dogs. Of course, I had a house with a fenced yard then. I currently have a very well trained pup who is 3 years. He leads by example when faced with other dogs. I trained him myself with the assistance of weekly online instruction. I’m currently working about 5 minutes from my house and am able to run home whenever needed. I have Wednesdays and Sundays off as well as every evening. I live in an apartment that offers plenty of yard for pets with a lead that stretches across the entire front yard. Many of my neighbors walk their dogs by and allow their dog to greet mine. I have a pup that likes to match the energy of others so if your pet loves to play he’s all for it but if your pet is a little older and just wants to nap, my guy also loves cuddles.

About: I’ve taken care of animals of all shapes and sizes my entire life! I have loved and cared for big dogs, little dogs, cats and several rodents! I currently have a full time job that is 8-5 but I’m working from home so as long as I have access to wifi, I can snuggle and care for your pet all day I make sure to follow a feeding schedule of the clients choice and keep a full water bowl. I make sure pets have the chance to go potty every 4hours and even play with them! In the afternoon I like to take them for a walk and give them lots of love

“Ms Katie Miller is a very responsible and caring person. She owns a St Bernard , Bertha, who is doing great at 12 years of age, which is old for a dog of that size. Bertha is always clean, well fed and well mannered even around new people and new animals. Katie always displays concern and the willingness to do what should be done for her critters. She has raised her daughter to be a caring and responsible young woman.”

About: Hi there- my name is Destiny and I have been an avid animal lover since the day I was born. I have had cats and dogs within my care for as long as I can remember. I have taken in many stray cats and have got them neutered/ spayed and have found homes for them over the years. I believe that all animals are a true gift to us in this life. They are only here for a part of our lives but we are their whole life, so they deserve nothing but the utmost love given to them every day. I will treat your dogs/cats like they are my own. I currently work from home for my full time job, so I have adequate time to go on walks, play, and give your pet the attention it needs. I have a 2 bedroom apartment in Poland, Ohio, so I have many sidewalks and parks all by me to take your fur baby on all the walks and play times it needs. I do have a cat, but he is very sociable and friendly towards dogs.

“Mackenzie watched our dog while we went out for dinner with family while we were in Ohio. We picked up Lou and she was so tired and had the biggest smile on her face.”

“Nadia is generally great with all animals. She is friendly, intimidated, kind and compassionate. I've watched her take care of her own pets and her pet's homes and treat each with care. She doesn't treat them like a chore or behave differently when no one is looking. I appreciate and admire her tender and loving heart.”

About: The well being and happiness of dogs is my goal. I understand the challenge of finding trustworthy people to provide the same care you would for your dog when you need it most. When I first started rover years ago, I met an owner and her two dogs who I frequently took care of for years until she sadly moved out of state. Because my time was occupied with her dogs, I couldn’t offer my time to others through this site which is why my profile has been inactive for some time. . I’ve worked at two different dog shelters, a boarding facility, and I volunteer for a local dog shelter. Im working on getting my dog training certification also. I’ve been successful in understanding dog behavior in different environments, and I especially love working with dogs who struggle with behavioral issues. I currently have a 14 year old dog who’s my best friend, my whole world. I adopted him when he was roughly 3 months old. I never board him, I’m super paranoid and picky if anyone watches him for me. So I get it if you feel the same! I do work full time currently, but I don’t have many obligations outside of work. I prefer to stay active as often as possible, and will make sure your dog gets the exercise it needs! My weekends are usually open, and I’m available during the week after 5pm. Every dog is different, I will accommodate their needs in any way I can. From high energy puppies to calm seniors and everything in between, their comfort is most important. I prefer to keep the dogs daily routine in check, and minimize any stress for them.
