About: I’ve had numerous gigs babysitting neighbors pets over the years; from dogs and cats to turtles and fish. I love spending time with all animals and I’m always looking out for the happiness and safety of your animals no matter the size :) Currently I’m a student at The University of Akron which gives me spare time in between classes. I’m usually free during the week and have no problem taking a break in my day to go check on your pets! Growing up with several dogs over the years, I’m very familiar with showing affection and maintaining the needs of pets. We routinely walk our dogs twice a day and make sure to feed morning and night. I love spending time outside with my dogs and getting all their energy out before bedtime.

About: I won’t lie and say I’ve professionally taken care of dogs for 15 years—but I’ve taken care of dogs ever since elementary school, in my own household and in others’. I know what to look out for to prevent a dog from getting into trouble. I’ve dealt with just about all kinds of messes. And I can handle any size of dog. My main job is part-time contract work, so there are a lot of monetary and time gaps that need filled. That said, my routine allows a lot of room for pet sitting! Every dog is different, so I take that approach with each pet I look after. I follow owner’s instructions, and if I have any questions I am not afraid to ask for clarification—the dog’s/owner’s needs come first. I love giving dogs the attention they deserve (which is usually a lot), and am great at playing.

About: Hi! my name is Chloe, I’m a paralegal and I love animals. I have a lot of experience with being a caregiver for pets. My uncle previously was a breeder and he would have my sister and I take care of the puppies during his work days. I also have experience with caring for others pets and have completed many services through Wag. Now that summer is approaching, i am ready to fill my evenings and weekends with animals. I will have more availablity as the summer goes on. Depending on any service, I usually read the owners notes to care for the pet during the time asked to do so. I’ve previously used Wag and when I complete the services I communicate a lot with the pet parents throughout the time letting them know what I’ve done, etc.

About: I’m currently living on campus at my college and I come from a company in my hometown called HomeWard Bound which is a pet-care company that is very similar to Rover. I have many months of experience which lead me to enjoy this job and wanting to continue it when I live on campus. Over the summer I will be mainly free since my priority is occupying my time with taking care of animals and learning more about them! I care with patience and trust. I allow the pet to warm up to me if needed, no forcing. I follow instructions thoroughly since I have experience from taking care of numerous amount of animals.

About: I have 6 years of hands-on experience walking and handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I worked as a veterinary assistant for 1.5 years caring for dogs and cats. Prior to this I spent 3 years at a shelter specializing in abused pit bulls. I’m comfortable with high-energy, strong, and rescue dogs, and I also have work experience as a kennel technician caring for cats. Whatever their personality type or energy level, my goal is to make your pets feel safe, understood, and cared for like they’re my own. Im currently in the processing of completing a 10 week pet grooming course that i attend Mon-Fri, 9-4. So, I will be available for house sitting on weekdays, 5 pm to 7:30 am. I can house sit and provide constant care on the weekends if needed. I can walk dogs or do check-ins any day of the week, however Mon-Fri i am only available in the early morning and also after 5pm. I will keep your pets' home environment, clean, safe and calm. For kitties, I can clean litter boxes, follow specific feeding/play routine or simply just be a calm caring presence. For dogs, I can also follow any feeding or enrichment routines you may have, nothing is too elaborate or complex! I have much experience caring for animals in need of highly specific care. I live an active lifestyle so i will have no problem wearing out your puppy or higher energy dog! I can do brisk walks or even runs. I also have a special place in my heart for older pups. I pay especially close attention if a dog is elderly or arthritic. I will never make them feel rushed or forced and I will let them set the pace for the day, depending on their mood and energy level.

About: I’m fine with cats and dogs. I enjoy taking dogs out and making sure the get good exercise. Will do kitty litter if needed :) I've been petsitting for a couple years now in my neighborhood and I enjoy it very much. I’ve been recommended by many people and I’m glad they trust my services. I can stay at the house for a couple hours if you need me to, however I will not stay overnight so I apologize if that’s an inconvenience. I usually drop in a couple times a day and spend a reasonable amount of time with pets, I want to make sure they don’t get lonely and I’ll spoil them with attention. I have experience with giving oral medication to pets. I also have experience with shy and anxious dogs, I volunteer at my local animal rescue so I know to approach animals carefully. I work Thursday through Sunday so any time after 2pm I am free to check in on your pet! I am free Monday through Wednesday a majority of the day if you need me to let them out in the morning or afternoon. I try to get an understanding of the pets temperament in order to learn how to approach them and make them comfortable. I always let the pet know that I mean no harm and I want to be their buddy!

About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover and proud dog parent to my 7-year-old lab/german shepherd/golden retriever mix, Sophie. With over 10 years of pet sitting for friends, family, and coworkers, I’ve built a reputation for being responsible and attentive. I work full-time in marketing and own my home, that includes a fenced-in backyard for plenty of playtime. I’ve volunteered at animal shelters and have family members and friends who work in veterinary care, so I’m well-equipped to handle any situation that arises. My heart is big for all animals, and I’ve even helped reunite lost pets with their families on more than one occasions. From kittens and puppies to seniors, I can’t wait to care for your furry companions! I’m currently working full time, but I work 5 minutes from my house and am available to check on pets throughout the day when in my care. Additionally, my fiancé works from home, so there will almost always be a responsible adult in the home to look after fur babies. The company I work for allows us to work flexible schedules and we are able to adjust our in/out time for our work days whenever needed. I have a fenced in back yard and currently have one pet in my home, Sophie. Sophie has grown up living with other dogs in our home (up until a few years ago), since she was a puppy! Shes very friendly and patient with other dogs usually, big or small, but a very high energy level dog might not be a good fit for our home. Sophie is great with seniors and medium to low energy dog/puppies. She is great about knowing when another animal wants to play or if they’d rather have their space. There is plenty of space to crate your animals in my house as well. I have a consistent feeding/walking/medication routine with Sophie, and will provide your pets with a reliable routine as well to help them feel as little of a disturbance to their regular schedule as possible. I’m an attentive person and will send you updates and photos of your fur babies often. There is an emergency vet clinic less than 6 miles away from my house in case of any emergencies.

About: I have worked with dogs specifically for about 3 years and some months. I’ve done Boarding/Daycare as well as Bathing. (this is where most of my experience comes from) I’ve bathed, brushed, and even trimmed nails of dogs of all kinds and ages for 2-3 years. Even though my boarding and daycare experience is new, I did enjoy it very much and I follow instruction well as long as they are direct and clear. I have extreme patience when it comes to learning the behaviors of our pets, I know not all dogs or cats are the same and they all have their boundaries and different personalities that make them special to us and I respect that. I love cats of all breeds as well. Believe it or not as much as I have dealt with all breeds I personally LOVE the big breeds, I do not mind hair or drool! (of both cats and dogs) I also have 3 cats and a Husky who is soon to turn 4! I will admit I do not know everything again every animal is different but I am willing to learn and adapt to what you and your pets need or want. Anything to make them happy and comfortable will always be my main goal. If you have any questions or concerns plz do not hesitate to reach out!! I am working part time at a retail in fairlawn BUT I would be willing to change and adapt my schedule for the right person. Let’s talk about what you need and go from there! All of my animals have a routine in my home. My Husky will get water before his food (he won’t even touch his food before we go outside lol) after I take him out to our lil dog park (at my apt) I then give him his food , After that I go and give my cats their water and food and clean their litter boxes (and their room) Then after my husky finishes his food for exercise we go on an hour or so walk (if you have a husky you understand lol) I am very clean dependent , I do not like a messy environment I am constantly sweeping and cleaning my apt to try and keep it as clean as possible with four pets. I do crate my husky whenever I leave , we’ve been doing as such since he was a pup!

About: I have been around animals for 43 years. I have volunteered at an animal shelter. I have had my own personal zoo at my house 😊 I am currently working part time so I have lots of time to entertain and cuddle your pets 😊. For the most part I am always available. I have owned my home for 20+ years. I have a large fenced in backyard with plenty of room for playing and lots of zoomies.

About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and care I have for animals of all ages and personalities! As a pet parent to a senior German Shepherd and four cats, I understand that every pet has their own unique needs, routines, and quirks. I have firsthand experience caring for senior pets, including those with arthritis, mobility challenges, and the need for a little extra patience and TLC. I also previously had a dog with epilepsy, so I’m very familiar with administering daily medications, maintaining consistent routines, and providing extra care for pets with medical needs. I’m also comfortable with energetic younger pets who need plenty of playtime, exercise, and attention! I’m patient, nurturing, dependable, and treat every animal as if they were my own. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or simply cuddling on the couch, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with pictures and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in loving hands! 🐾❤️ I work from home full-time, which gives me a lot of flexibility throughout the week! As a pet parent myself, caring for animals is already a huge part of my everyday routine. I love spending time outdoors, going for walks, and making sure my pets get plenty of love and attention. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and cared for while you’re away! As a pet parent to both dogs and cats, I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your animals. I treat every pet like they’re my own! Whether that means sticking to their feeding schedule, giving medications when needed and discussed beforehand, keeping their space clean, or simply spending extra time giving them love and attention. I understand that every animal has their own personality, and I always take the time to make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I’ll also send plenty of pictures and updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away!

About: Hello my name is Tabetha I am a vet assistant graduate from Northcoast medical training academy 2016. I am employed at Akron Medina Veterinary Hospital and Pet Resort. I do live an apartment but there are lots of woods & trails to go on long walks as your dog needs. I also can provide other services such as nail trims, ear cleaning, and bathing. I am home all day and your pup will never be alone. I can also do drop in visits when needed. I look forward to taking care of your fur baby when you are away.

About: I have volunteered at One of a Kind Pet Rescue where I cared for and gained experience with all different kinds of dogs and cats, and I have also owned a senior dog and have raised 2 puppies and a kitten! I am currently a college student working part time so I will have time on my hands to care for your pets! I am available weekdays from 9AM-2PM and weekends! I prioritize safety, trust, and environment by keeping pets in their familiar home and following exact instructions given to me to maintain your pups routine, reduce stress, and provide attentive companionship.

About: Since I was young, I’ve always had a pet. After college I finally got a pet of my own and they’ve just multiplied over the years! Dogs are my specialty - I’ve taken care of dogs belonging to friends and family & I’ve trained both of my dogs since they were puppies. I’d say what sets me apart from others is that I have plenty of time in the afternoons (and any time during the weekend) to take care of your pup because my job ends early in the day unlike a 9-5 job. I have years of experience under my belt and I just really love animals. Always have and always will! As a teacher, I am always home early on the weekdays so I’ll have plenty of time every afternoon to play with & walk your dog! I am available any time on the weekends and I can board Fri-Sun. My husband and I have a big fenced in yard and 2 friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company! We are firm believers in lots of walks, lots of playtime, and positive reinforcement. If needed, we can provide a crate as a safe space for your dog to lounge in. Our dogs are our children and we will treat your dog with the same love as we treat our own :)

About: I have been responsible for pets since i was very young. I owned two dogs myself, both recently passed away. I was responsible for taking care of them. Outside of my own pets, I have watched, walked and cared for a few dogs! I love getting to know pets personalities! I have experience with cats as well! I have my own and have watched over multiple cats before. I’m currently in school and work full time ! All of my schooling is online and I work 3 12 hour shifts, so I am available 4/7 days of the week and if needed I am happy to do pet care after a shift! I always take extra precautions when handling others pets! I always double check with owners and how they feel about certain activities and routines for their pets

About: I’ve taken care of cats since I was 11 and still care for them currently. I have also grown up with my friends dogs, as well as my grandparents dogs. My best friend has two dogs over 100 pounds that I am with often! I have also volunteered at Portage County Animal Protective League back in middle school, where my aunt works. I have also cat sitted for my aunt numerous times! I have nothing but passion and empathy for all animals. :) I am currently a student at Kent State University, and I work part time in retail. I only have classes for a few hours on Tuesdays and Thursdays. This schedule will make it easy to fit pet care into my daily routine! I will treat your home with care as if it were my own, as well as your fur babies. To me, animals are family and deserve the best.

About: Hello! Ive been taking care of dogs since I was 7 years old. I have loads of experience in walking and sitting for friends and family. Seniors and puppies are welcome!! I work part time, and I am in school part time (I only have one in-person class), so my schedule has many gaps in it. I’ll always greet them, say hello for a minute, Then I’ll let them outside and I’ll make sure they use the restroom. After that, I’ll refill their water and play with them until its time to go, or time for a different activity.
