About: I’ve owned dogs my entire life and have hands-on experience caring for a wide range of personalities, energy levels, and needs. I’ve self-trained my own dogs and I’m comfortable reinforcing basic obedience commands like sit, stay, leave it, and leash manners (especially helpful for puppies and energetic dogs). I also have experience caring for a dog with seizures who requires medication, so I’m confident with administering meds and supporting pets with special routines or extra care needs. In addition to my own pets, I’ve regularly helped neighbors and friends with pet sitting and daily care. I’m attentive, calm, and safety-focused, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. I also groom and bathe my own dogs, and while full grooming isn’t typically part of my services, I’m absolutely willing to help if an urgent situation arises. I’m self-employed and work from home, so I have a very flexible schedule and can accommodate a wide range of needs. I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks and check-ins, including hourly relief when needed, and I can do multiple drop-ins throughout the day. Because I’m home often, I’m also able to give pets consistent attention, supervision, and routine support. Care looks a little different depending on whether I’m in your home or mine, but my top priorities are always safety, routine, and clear communication. I expect to communicate frequently during your pet's visit with me. In my home: For daycare or boarding, I require that dogs are crate trained, since dogs will be crated overnight and anytime I’m not home. I also require up-to-date vaccine records to keep everyone safe. I have two dogs of my own, so I carefully monitor introductions and compatibility. We do have a yard, but it is not fenced, so all outdoor time is supervised and on-leash. In your home: During our meet & greet, we’ll go over your pet’s routine in detail (feeding, potty breaks, walks, medication, etc.). I ask that any important care instructions are also listed in your pet’s Rover profile in writing, so everything is clear and consistent. I’m happy to follow your household routines as close as possible during the visit.

Sam had a great weekend with Nan and her husband. He had a lot of outdoor time on the beautiful weekend, play time, and cuddle time. She sent many pictures showing how his weekend was going. I definitely recommend having Nan board your dog and would be happy to have Nan watch Sam again.

About: I got my first dog about 20 years ago. I got a second dog who had back issues, which meant learning lots of therapeutic techniques and medication dosing. I worked full time and always wished I could have others help care for my dogs. Fast forward to 2022, I got a new puppy and had to retrain myself in the process while working full time. From crate training, basic manners and walking on a leash. We learned it all. I know what it’s like to need help caring for a new puppy when you’re at work. Fast forward, he’s now a certified service dog! Looking to help puppy parents care for their babies while they’re away. I can help with crate training, walking and more! I know how stressful leaving your pups alone, or crated, while you’re away can be and I’m here to help. I work from home and have flexibility in taking care of your fur babies. I know what it’s like to need help when you have to go into the office or travel for work. I always leash pets on walks and supervise them playing in enclosed areas. If we are in the neighborhood, I teach heel and focus to get them to respond quickly to me on the walk.

About: I love any type of animal and will provide it with the best care possible. We would go on long walks and play all day! Big, small, medium you name it I will love your dog or cat! I have been around dogs my whole life and would love to care for yours. I am currently a nurse in the area and use Rover when I am away at work so I would love to give back to the community and watch other pups while you are away! I know how difficult it is to find a trustworthy and reliable sitter and always want to treat your pups like my own! I will make sure to treat your home and pet with respect and follow all instructions left to properly care for your fur baby and make sure they get everything they need!

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.

I was a little nervous to leave my dog with a stranger but Corey proved to be a kind and considerate person who truely likes dogs. I liked the fact that he was calm and helpful with my "thinks she's a princess" little dog. Communication was great and he has floors without rugs. I will definitely ask for him again.

Leaving behind our 5-month-old puppy for an 11-day vacation filled me with nervousness. After speaking to several people, I found Sarah, who I knew was the perfect choice. Sarah's attention to detail was impeccable - she gathered all the necessary information and maintained my puppy's routine flawlessly. Keeping us updated with photos and videos, Sarah's care provided me with peace of mind throughout my vacation. When our puppy returned home, he was just as happy and carefree as if he had never been away.

Sauddi was amazing! She was incredibly kind and helpful during the booking process and made sure we both had the information we needed ahead of time. She was incredibly patient with my dog who wasn't used to the type of stairs she had in her place. She took my dog out on long walks despite the cold weather and made sure she had plenty of other stimulation. I will definitely use her again!

About: I have 12years of experience taking care of dogs, both large and small, including senior dogs. Our home has two beds neither has a box nor a frame so even if they need to jump on and off, it won't cause any harm to their bodies. I am currently not working, so I am available to take care of the pets throughout the day, both on weekdays and weekends. Even if I have to go out, my husband has plenty of experience in taking care of the puppy. He works on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons, but can work from home at other times have an 12-year-old dog. She is spayed and typically very friendly. I only board friendly dogs weighing less than 40 pounds, so you don't have to worry about any potential dangers. I live in a spacious two-bedroom apartment, and I only board a maximum of two dogs at a time. There is a spacious grassy area outside the apartment for dog walks.

About: I’ve had pets all my life! Most recently I had a pitbull for 12 years and 2 cats for 15+. Sadly, all aged and passed away the past two years (I got them all young around the same time, bad idea since they tend to pass away so close to each other). Before I got my last dog, I fostered pitbulls who were good with cats for a couple years. My home is open and free for them to roam, and I’m well-equipped for big pitties trying to yank me around my large yard! My pitty had incontinence before he passed so I also am prepared for messes and spills. My home is ready and equipped for large dogs and for cats, since I kept everything from my last pets as I await being able to get my own again. I’ve also pet-sat for many of my friends when they leave town a when their dogs got along with mine! Now that I have none, I can offer solo or multiple dogs at once depending on your preference. I work part time, mostly from home. Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays I have a few hours of evening commitments but that’s it! I can usually come let animals out or feed them in the morning, afternoon, and evenings before bed unless I stay in your house, and then I can be there most of the day. I care for animals in my home as if they were mine! We wake up and have breakfast, go outside, and hangout around the house while I work. Lots of snuggles and pets! I let animals sleep in my bed if they want. If it’s your home, I’ll be able to meet the needs of your pet as described. I can crate if that’s desired, I have a large crate for large dogs!

My senior pup just got home from a wonderful weekend with Patti! He had the best care and we received regular updates and photos. My dog has vision issues among other senior ailments and needs medication at meals. Patti was so patient and helped him navigate the new space, always making sure he was safe. We felt so comfortable with Igor in Patti’s care and look forward to him visiting her again!
