“We were so happy to leave our dog in Annemarie’s care. She went out of her way to be considerate and accommodating. We are so grateful to have found her through Rover.”

About: Ive always been drawn to animals, they’re better than humans lol. As a tot, I’d make it my mission to befriend as many kitties and pups as possible, this led to long-term house sits for my friends + family, and building a bond with said animal. I’ve been caring for pups my entire life as I grew up with them. I’d be honored to pet sit your fur babies! As of right now; I attend trade school in the mornings and work part-time nights. Given that I work only three hours per night and classes end before 1pm. That gives me plenty of time to stay for a couple hours or even check in multiple times throughout the day! I like to do everything on a schedule; Feed, nice stroll/restroom break, play for at least 30 minutes then, hopefully tucker out the pup and repeat! It’s imperative that you’re attentive to your animal as they have needs too and cannot speak. They also don’t have entertainment like we do that’s when I make sure to keep busy with them. I also like to send pictures as little updates so you can keep an eye on your fur baby. (if you’d like of course)

“Abigail is a great sitter who's very reliable.”

About: Growing up my family had two litters of old english sheepdogs. I had no say in breeding but I did get to take care of all of the puppies when we had them, up until they were adopted. As well as 3 grown sheepdogs. Our family owned three horses previously that I grew up around. I have had two cats also and now my Husky boys. Which I call my babies because they are. I have a pretty flexible schedule and work from home so I’m available whenever needed. Flexibility gives me the time I need to spend with your fur baby. Pets are family too. I would treat them with great care and follow any instructions provided. I can go on walks, play, have set feeding schedules, whatever is needed. I also love taking photos so sending them to clients would be a must. I want to keep everyone updated on their fur baby's experience with me.

“Tabbi was awesome with the pet kids! She had a challenge and she conquered it! The dogs were so happy when she stopped in 3 times each day to walk water and feed them. She sent us pictures and a report card for every visit. We will definitely give Tabbi a call the next time we need a sitter for Sadie and Ranger!”

“Angela was extremely attentive and showed up on time every day, made sure that Luna got her meds, everything was clean, and sent daily updates. She contacted us the moment she noticed something seemed wrong (deeply appreciated!), and the cats absolutely adored her. will absolutely be recommending her services and hopefully booking with her again if we ever need another sitter. 💜”

About: I love animals and will treat them with the utmost love and respect they deserve. I have taken care of pets from adolescent to seniors. I've provided transportation to veterinarian visits, I walk dog. I have experience in giving medicine (pill and shots) and dealing with special needs pets. I am retired so i have a lot of time to do what i love to do and that's spend time with animals. I schedule my appointments so as to give my clients undivided attention and punctuality they need. I cater to my clients and their fur babies needs and desires. I like to sit down and discuss with any perspective client what their and their pets needs are and formulate a plain to ensure the utmost safety and comfort of the fur babies.

“Alicia was amazing with our cats and took care of them so well while we were gone for our vacation! She definitely went the extra mile on every visit! We felt very secure in our pets well being while she was looking after them.”

About: Hi! My name is Dayne, and I’m a 22 year old college football player with a lifelong love for animals. I’ve grown up around pets my entire life, and spending time with them has always been something I genuinely enjoy. Right now I have a German Shepherd and a Beagle, so I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities. I actually trained my German Shepherd myself from the time he was a puppy, and seeing him grow into such a well behaved, obedient dog has been incredibly rewarding. That experience taught me a lot about patience, consistency, and understanding how every dog learns a little differently. Being a college athlete has also taught me the importance of being dependable, responsible, and sticking to a routine. Those are qualities I bring with me whenever I’m taking care of someone else’s pet. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, or just keeping your dog company while you’re away, I’ll make sure they’re getting the attention and care they deserve. I also have experience with more than just dogs. I grew up with an Umbrella Cockatoo that’s still part of my family’s life today, so I’m familiar with caring for birds. I also own a Bearded Dragon, which has given me experience caring for reptiles as well. I know leaving your pet with someone else can be stressful because they’re family. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own, make sure they feel safe and comfortable, and always follow your care instructions. My goal is to give you peace of mind while you’re away, knowing your pet is in good hands. I’m a college football player, so all of my athletic commitments are done in the mornings. I also take all of my classes online, which gives me the rest of the day to fully focus on the dogs in my care. My schedule is very structured, and I’m home the majority of the day outside of morning workouts. My own dogs are properly exercised every single day. We go to the dog park, on long walks, and even hikes when the weather is nice. I make sure they are well run and mentally stimulated so they’re balanced and happy. They are fed twice a day with high quality dog food, and I stay consistent with their health needs. My German Shepherd gets joint supplements, and both my Shepherd and Beagle get salmon oil daily. I take their care seriously, and I would treat your dog the exact same way. Being an athlete, I’m already used to routine, discipline, and responsibility. That carries over into how I care for animals. Your dog won’t just be “watched” they’ll be exercised, cared for, and paid attention to. I live in a 1600 square foot home with plenty of space for dogs to move around comfortably. I have a large dog crate available if your dog is crate trained or needs their own quiet space. I also have two friendly, well socialized dogs who love to play and will keep your dog company. Safety is always my top priority. I’m experienced with large breeds and strong dogs, and I understand proper leash control, structure, and supervision. I keep a clean, organized home and always make sure dogs are monitored, comfortable, and secure. I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone, and I don’t take that lightly.

About: I provide a one on one Level of care and attention for your pet. Spending quality time with the pets is very important to me I currently work part time but have a flexible schedule. I am avaliable for Boarding at my home as well as drop in visits daily. I have a Freindly and playful Golden Retiever I like to give my full attention on your pet to make the stay/visit a enjoyable experience.

About: I have 6 years of active dog training and boarding. With over 300 dogs under my belt, I've seen all kinds of temperaments and breeds! I am confident in my dog handling abilities, and have experience with puppies, seniors, and handicapped dogs. I am self employed, so I have plenty of flexibility to accommodate some dog care! Weekends are my favorite days to make appointments. And I have reliable transportation! Respect is paramount. I will do my best to both 1) feel comfortable around your pet (which is important!) and 2) respect your home and belongings.

About: I have been taking care of dogs most of my life. I am 57. I have done dog training and agility with 2 of our dogs. I have had a puppy and dealt with Senior dogs too. I love to give our dog lots of attention with play time, walking and outdoor activities. I love to take walks and go to other parks too. With the owner's permission, I love to go to the dog park-Bow Wow dog park and the Akron Dog Park. I give your furry one lots of attention with play time-throwing toys-playing fetch with a ball or toy. Letting them have backyard time. We have a fenced in back yard for the dogs to be free. I also will brush your dog and pet them and give them attention, while you are away. I will treat your dog like he/she is my own dog. Another place I will take dogs is Petsmart or Pet Supplies Plus for social interaction and exercise. I am at home and available most days. We have a 20 year-old Son, who also loves dogs! My Husband helps out too, with walks and letting the dogs out in our backyard and is a dog person. Currently, I am not working. I have a knee problem and some medical issues that prevent me from working full time. I have plenty of time to take care of your dog. We love to take walks and go to the dog parks. However, if you prefer your dog not to go to the dog park, that is fine. We could go on walks and let your dog go outside in our backyard. We have lots of dog toys, bones, balls, etc... I do have a walk thru pet gate that I set up to block off the kitchen and dining room area. We will feed our dog and your dog separately in separate rooms. I love to brush and pet dogs. If needed, we could bath your dog too. We are a "dog" type family, that is our preference. We have had fish, hamsters and also a guinea pig in the past. I grew up with a cat in our home, as a child. We will throw ball and toys for the dogs and play with your dog. We have a small crate that is in our garage, however we don't usually use the crate. If we leave the home, depending on the situation, if your dog is destructive or chewing on furniture or other items, then we will crate your dog when we leave for church or a short errand. If you have a calm dog and the dog is not destructive and well mannered, then your dog could stay in the family room area, unless you prefer that your dog is in his crate. We will use 2 dog gates near our steps to go upstairs. We prefer that our dog and other dogs do not go upstairs. As a House Sitter, I would do any needed cleaning up of any messes I make. I would be bringing my own food, as I am gluten free and dairy free. The only thing I would need is some freezer and frigerated space for my food. I would follow your normal routine for your dog or dogs. I do have occasional Dr and therapy appointments, fyi. We have a home in Akron, with a fence in our backyard. We live near a forest, it is a quiet area. We have a small neighborhood, where the street dead ends to a forest. We don't get drive thru traffic, that use our area as a "short cut".

About: I’ve been trusted with caring for cats and dogs since I was old enough to take on the responsibility! I have three animals of my own whom I love and adore and will take care of yours like my own! I’ve trained two puppies, and taken care of my own senior dog 🪽 I’m currently working early morning shifts, so I’ll have whole days to watch after your loved one!! I walk my dogs and can easily fit yours into my daily routine I have crate space and a lovely home for your dog/cat to stay. I have two friendly dogs to keep yours company, and a kitty in a separate floor to keep yours company as well!!

“Erin took very good care of our 3 month old puppy and our cats loved her too! We felt very safe leaving their care to Erin, she was very trustworthy and kind and gentle with them!”

About: I have loved animals all my life and have been asked to watch family and friends pets on countless occasions. I believe in the importance of enrichment activities as well as the good ole belly rubs. Whatever the pet is in need of I am happy to help make their day brighter. I can’t wait to spread the love to more fur babies! I’m currently working full time but always have time for walks and playdates with your pets! Weekdays after 6:30 and weekends work the best but I am flexible! I have a2 year old Beagle Boston terrier who gets a few hours of physical activity and mental enrichment a day before winding down for snuggles and love. We spend time on training and puzzles as well as engaging walks.

“Shayna was able to help us last minute with our dog. She is very kind and took good care of him. She was also very flexible when we had a change of time in our plans. She made an extra unplanned visit and sent photos. I would definitely recommend Shayna!”

About: All K9 Solutions is fully insured and licensed here in Akron OH. I've been training dogs for 6 years and professionally for 4 years. After I worked for reputable training companies, one here in Akron area as the head trainer, I decided to open my own company called All K9 Solutions. I grew up with dogs, and have experience with cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, horses, chickens, and ducks as I used to manage a farm as well. I personally network all over the US with other dog trainers. One of my recent travels has been to Kansas to help host a working dog workshop with a few small departments. I have two Belgian malinois who I strive for their needs to be met daily. From mental stimulation to physical stimulation while giving them a “job”. My youngest is 3 years old and does many sports (PSA, AKC sports, and has been dabbling in odor work), and my oldest is 10, he’s a retired military explosives K9 who served on the boarder of Jordan up until 7 years old. Both the sweetest dogs you’ll ever meet. All of my dogs have off leash obedience training that is kept up with. I have a background in dog training, boarding, and daycare; from puppies all the way to seniors. I strive for knowledge with dogs as there’s always new information to learn and dogs aren’t cookie cutter. I’m also an STSK9 MVP student for advanced obedience. I’m very passionate about teaching others about dogs from genetics and breeds to how their psychology works. My business hours run from 7am-10pm. My availability is open from the afternoon to night time, this way all morning routines are completed, walks, potty breaks, feeding, training sessions etc. All dogs are boarded in a home environment instead of a facility. This way your dogs aren’t as stressed being away from you, and they can comfortably enjoy their vacation too. All dogs are kenneled to ensure safety (not investing anything they shouldn’t, no free roam 24/7 with other client’s dogs you don’t know, and they have their own space to decompress). Since the yard isn't fenced in, all dogs must be leashed with a properly fitted collar with a longline when going outside, a harness, or a slip lead. However, a good peaceful walk with all the smells is always more mental and physical stimulation for the dogs than a fenced in area with limited access. Reactive dogs and fearful dogs are welcome as I have years of experience with them, and training them to grow confidence and obedience. I also have experience with special need's animals. Loud dogs are welcome too. If your dog(s) show healthy body language and do well with other dogs, my two malinois are gentle beings and always love a play mate. Minka especially, she follows the other dog's pace and reads their body language. I do ask that you leave your vet information with me and emergency vet information as well for an emergency contact if ever need be. Better safe than sorry. I also do ask for a second choice of contact incase the primary owner is unable to be reached. All dogs must be up to date on vaccines and bordetella for boarding and daycare. Safety precautions are always taken. For the well being of the dogs and myself. Please note that I do require all important behaviors are made aware of by the owners before hand and I will notify owners upon any concern of sickness or bite risks. I send updates each day as well or will add photos to your rover card.

“Jaycie has been super reliable the past couple months as my husband and I both work and have a puppy. She came during the day, always on time and made sure to engage with our puppy and sent great updates!”

About: Growing up with dogs as a part of the family I have taken care of them my whole life. When I was 15 my family brought home a new puppy and I didn’t have a summer job, so she was my responsibility. Over the years I have taken care of dogs of all ages from energetic puppies to senior pups that need a little more love and understanding. I have administered medications and eye drops with ease and few trick up my sleeves. I enjoy having training sessions with the dogs and even teaching them a new trick while their family is away. This helps give them something to focus on and encourages bonding between us. I would be honored to take care of your furry family member while you’re away. I'm currently have a hybrid work schedule and would love to help out your family while I have the time. While in my current status I can do more walks, potty breaks as needed. Potty break is the first and foremost needed when I arrive at a client's home. Then a walk, a little time for some training and a little bit of play as well. It's just as important they have some mental stimulation.
