Dog Sitting in Boardman

About: I have grown up with dogs in the house my whole life-from pit bulls, beagles, havaneese, etc! My wife and I currently have an 8 month old Aussiedoodle. I’d love to help you with your best friends! I’m a college athlete and have quite a bit of freedom, Monday through Thursday I am free in the mornings and evenings-I just have classes around lunch time. Fridays I am available all day. I can be of service every day bright and early before 10:30, although me and my pup love to cuddle in the mornings! I am a U.S. Army veteran and have lots of experience with little and big dogs. I am a pretty large man and can help take care of any size dog, so don’t hesitate to reach out!

About: Like many sitters, Ive been a multi-pet owner my whole life. If there is not at least one animal in the same room as I am it feels empty! After selling the gym I operated for 15 years, I have found myself in Ohio with plenty of time and energy to give to your four legged friends! I also spent 9 months living on a working farm during graduate school and have hands on experience with a variety of domesticated farm animals. I currently have a flexible schedule. My previous career as a personal trainer has gotten me used to high energy days with back to back appointments, so I can handle walks of different distances or speeds. Taking care of animals comes naturally to me, and along with the owners instruction and insights into their pets, I strive to maintain a safe and positive environment for all.

“Great job with 2 dogs !”

“Christina went above and beyond on this stay. Our dog panicked a little when we went away this time and Christina helped get her back on the right track. Thank you!”

About: Lived in a household with 3 dogs and 2 cats. Currently live with my 4 year old cat who is spoiled. I have taken care of cats and dog sat for friendly well behaved pitbulls. Working at Giant Eagle. Volunteer at West Side Cats. My cat is around me when I’m home. She generally hangs around me and watches tv with me. I have one cat that is an only cat. She so far has only been around one other cat and they do not get along through a door

“This was our first time using Rover and Cydni S. Cydni did a phenomenal job with our 3 dogs! She was always sending pictures at every drop-in with a description of how they were doing. Our dogs needed medication daily and she had no problem with giving it, she even paid attention to our picky eater and made sure she attended to his needs. Cydni went above and beyond by getting a package left on the porch out of the rain and tiding up the house for us. We can tell that they received lots of love and care! I would use Cydni again and recommend her to someone looking for a caring, reliable dog sitter.”

About: Hello my name is Kyra. I am a certified vet assistant with 5 years of experience taking care of animals. Just looking for extra time to help animals and to help people in anyway that I can. Whether that’s walking your dogs, stopping in to feed them or to administer medications. I can even do some grooming options like nail trims and ear cleanings. I am off every Tuesday and the weekend. And my afternoons are mostly open. My schedule can be flexible. Just shot me a message and I looking forward to meeting your pet's. I am available in the afternoon most days. Off on Tuesdays and the weekend. I’m available for dog walking, stoping in to play/socialize/give food. Can also administer medications. Open to nail trims and ear cleaning's. At my workplace we practice something called fear free. Which simple just means that we do not push and force anything. We work on trust. For example, by sitting on the floor and giving them space to approach me on their own. Giving treats, food, spray cheese to show that this is a safe place and that they get rewarded.

“Thank you so much for taking great care of the cats. I really appreciate the extra touches you did - watering plants and taking care of the trash. It made a big difference!!!”

About: I have extensive knowledge in pet care after working in the industry for over 12 years including nursing bottle babies. I have experience with administering all types of medication including oral and injection. I also have handled and owned pets that are on a strict diet regimen. I've worked with reactive, aggressive, and anxious dogs and will gladly give them any delicate support they need. I am confident in my ability to take care of not just dogs but cats as well including those spicy little ones. I have a young 10 month old Golden retriever and a recently adopted a 6 month old Shepard/Chow well as four cats, so I know how to handle those rambunctious puppies too! I would love to meet your furry friend and see how we can work out together! I work a full-time job and I am a mom but have no worries! I have a wonderful support network at my job and at my home where I can work out a schedule that will hopefully work with everybody! I have a sunroom for us to hang out in for doggy daycare. 2 dogs that love to play as they are young puppies. I do not have a fence so your dogs will be leased outside at all times. Inside the home I have a crate for safety if needed but otherwise the dog will have run of the whole house with mine!

About: I have taken care of dogs and have been around dogs since I was 5! We have a 3 year old golden who loves to play and make new friends. I work from home and can give your fur baby as much attention as they like. They will get daily walks and love to play in our fenced in yard! I work from home so I am always able to be at home with your doggie! It allows me to pay attention to them at all times! I have a fenced in yard and a 3 year old golden who loves to meet new friends and play all day! We would love to be trusted with your pup.

About: I have had a dog most of my adult life and my husband, Andrew has always had cats. We currently have a 13 year old cat, Who is extremely friendly to people and stays away from dogs. We just recently moved to Poland from Cincinnati to be closer to family. We are entrusted to watch our family’s pets when they are out of town and love and adore all guest pets in our home as if they were another part of our family. I can provide basic training I have learned over the years and can administer meds. I have a 12 year old child full-time and Andrew has a 15 and 17 year old that are with us half of the time and are very patient and gentle towards animals but your pup MUST get along with children. All of our kids have extreme affection, gentleness and patience towards all animals and live their lives at home revolving around the animals. Because of the children we do not allow Pitt bulls, Chows or Dalmatian breeds in the home. All pets must be completely secure around children or unfortunately we don’t think your loved one will be comfortable in our home. If your pup ends up showing any type of aggression towards the children, they will need to be picked up or run the risk of being crated with minimal time out of the crate, until your return. Your pet must be up to date on vaccines and must be of at least 2 years of age. My career is in IT and I work from home full-time so I will be home all day to keep your pet company. Andrew works remote as a Communications Director for a local church and also shuffles being an online student so there is almost always someone home to be with your loved one! Your dog will enjoy daily walks, or a run if they can run on a leash with me. I live in a quiet neighborhood next to the Poland Forest with a sidewalk about 10-20 ft from the road with little car traffic. We may take some adventures through the woods, as well. Depending on the stay length and dirt accumulation I will also give your pups baths to keep them smelling fresh! We spend a lot of time at home and will be able to provide your pet plenty of attention! This also allows us to be flexible with your schedule. I do not have a fenced in yard so your pet will be supervised when using the restroom. Your pet will get plenty of playtime with our kids and will have a couch, dog bed or our bed to sleep on. Whichever he/she prefers.

About: "A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than you love yourself." That's why I promise to love and care for your pets as if they were my own. Hi my name is Shelly! Growing up I always had pets, and my love and passion only grew. I currently have a golden retriever who means the world to me. Not only does your pet get unlimited love and belly rubs, every visit consists of walk, fresh food and water and play time. I also send constant updates of your pet. I look forward to meeting you and your fur baby! I am a stay at home mom, so my availability is more flexible. Whether you have a short notice or months in advance, it won’t be an issue. Unfortunately, we do not have a fence but we are constantly going for walks in our quiet neighborhood. We also love going to the walking trails. In our household we have a dog, cat and 1 year old boy.

“Lauren does an excellent job taking care of my dog. She is kind and compassionate and Pepper loves her. S”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs most of my adult life, and have had my own for the last 3! I know how stressful it can be putting your pup in someone else’s care, but I aim to make the experience as smooth as possible! I have a very flexible schedule as I work remote from home. So being able to take care of your dog during the day will be a breeze! My weekends are also always open, and my husband and I would love to watch your pup if you’re taking a vacation. Whatever instructions you leave, I’ll follow. I know how important it is to maintain structure in your dogs life, so I’ll always adhere to that. I can also offer training and enrichment activities for your dog on top of the walks for added stimulus.

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.

“Augusta was awesome as it was the first time I left my cat and the pictures she sent showed me how she interacted with him. Will definitely hire her again.”

“She was great. My 2 labs love her.”

I am a residential cleaner and I have open availability for cleaning homes, we can discuss details if desired. I adhere to a strict routine with my own dogs everyday when we wake up, and towards the evening we unwind and relax with a lots of pets, cuddles and kisses.
