About: I've grown up with fuzzies and cared for them all. Tended and loved bunnies both big and small, pups young and old, cats timid and bold. Regardless of pet, I will treat 'em like gold. Loved on and spoiled they'll be sorry to go, I'll keep them quite cozy and you in the know. Caring for fur-babies requires love, understanding, and flexibility. Each pet comes with her own needs and personality. With four dogs (Diamond, Patrick, Trish, and Dusty) and four cats (Joel, Hibbleton, Joe, and Dom) in my care, I've had a little bit of practice in nourishing each individual purr-sonality. Once we get the schedules sorted, I'll be sure to give your loved one the same consideration and I think we'll get along just fine. That being said, I kindly ask that you be mindful of my time. When I reply to your initial message, I typically wait 4-24 hours for a response. If I don’t hear back within that window, I may archive the request. If you send me a booking request but aren't sure of the exact dates and times, I can hold your request for 4-48 hours while you confirm the details. If the issue is not resolved within that time frame, the request may be archived. Hello, and thank you for meeting me here! If I'm at your house, your fur-baby will be let out every 4-8 hours unless otherwise needed. At least one daily walk is guaranteed (weather permitting) so your little one can catch up on all the neighborhood gossip; if there's a dog park nearby, I'll take him to meet up with his friends. If you'll provide me with your dog's dietary needs, medications, and routines; I'll do my best to make sure that he's feelin' just as fly as he would be if you were there. Now if your pup chooses to stay at my lovely establishment, I do have a questionnaire for all clients to ensure that every aspect of your pup’s care is covered. Among other things, I ask about your pup’s needs, medications, vaccinations, preferences, and routines. After the business part is sorted, I have for your pupper two yards; one for business, one for fun. My house has two floors; the first floor is all his. The rules are pretty chill. Pets are allowed on the furniture, food and water are freely available, tricks are rewarded with treats, and if he's a well-behaved gentle-pup, bedtime is kennel-free. However, if you have different boundaries set for your pet I'll be happy to ensure that your little one minds his manners during his stay. Oh, one more thing: I am the tug-o-war champion, though your dog is welcome to try and take my title.


8. Mary N.
“I have been entrusting Mary with the care of my dog for the past few years, and I couldn't be happier with her service. With over 15 years of experience, Mary truly understands dogs and their individual needs. Whether it's a quick walk or a longer adventure, I know my dog is in the best hands. Not only is Mary reliable and professional, but she also has a deep connection with the dogs she cares for. My dog absolutely loves their walks with Mary, coming home happy and well-exercised every time! It's clear that Mary has a genuine love for animals, and it shines through in the way she handles each dog with care and patience. Her extensive experience really shows whether dealing with various breeds, temperaments, or weather conditions, Mary is always prepared and knowledgeable. If you're looking for someone you can trust to take the best care of your furry friend, I highly recommend Mary. She's simply the best!”


9. Jennifer H.

“Jennifer and her husband were great, they sent us lots of pics of our pretty lazy dogs. Highly recommend”


10. Kaylee J.

“Was extremely helpful with our last minute plans! Sent plenty of pictures and updates. We were scared to use this app at first but she changed our minds! Would use again!”


11. kirsty v.

“I was leaving my new puppy for the first time and was so nervous. Kirsty was so nice and sent pictures to keep me updated. Daisy came back super happy! Will definitely book again when I need a sitter.”


12. Jenna B.
“What makes Jenna great with dogs is her love for dogs, all kinds...big, small, behaved and ornery. We have shepherds, and they love when Jenna comes to visit. Whether she is playing with them, walking them, or just letting them lean on her, she is a favorite with my dogs who don't always make up to everyone. I appreciate that her relationship with them helps her know how to control them. They even let her cut their toenails which is over and above. I love that when I come home after being away for several days, the dogs are glad to see me but not stressed. Jenna makes them feel like family has been present.”


13. Carrie Haring K.

“Wonderful family! Definitely knew my pup was in great hands!”


14. Nick T.
“Nick was an amazing sitter for my two dogs. He is attentive and playful with the dogs. Nick saved my dogs life after one of them almost swallowed a toy ball. I cannot thank him enough for the care and love he put into watching them.”


15. Shellie F.

“I wish we lived in the Akron area because Shellie would be my go to girl! She was absolutely amazing with Max! She was flexible with our plans (we are from out of town), great at communicating, and was exactly what a dog sitter should be! She welcomed Max into her home and treated him like her own! We cannot be more thankful for her that we could go enjoy ourselves and not having to worry about Max! Max came home so happy!”


16. Hanna S.

“Hannah was great w/ my boys. She played w/ them and took them for a good walk and even sent me pics. They had room and freedom to roam the house freely and room to play catch for my shepherd, which was very important! Lol I have 2 big boys that are well behaved but can be intimidating for some ppl just d/t their size, Hannah showed no fear! Thank you for a great day!!”


17. Tyler F.

“Okay, so, I never leave my dog with a sitter. Normally, I am the sitter. But life gets hectic, holidays happen, and I needed to drop my fur baby off somewhere safe. She means the whole world to me and I was petrified of leaving her with a stranger but my gut told me she'd be fine. My gut was right! Nibbler seems very content, and Tyler updated me about her regularly while she stayed with him. She and I are happy as clams. I would definitely recommend him to take care of your four-legged friends and family!”


18. Delaina M.

“Lai was so good with my Panda! I can tell she's a good person. He went straight to her and didn't even look back at me like he usually does when I drop him off at other sitters! 🥹 and he also wasn't super anxious when I picked him up. That's when I knew he was in good hands. I will surely book Lai again! 🥰 thank you for taking care of my Panda.”
