“I cannot express enough how grateful I am for the wonderful care you provided for my dog, Luna! From the moment I dropped her off, I could tell she was in great hands.

Thank you once again for giving Luna such a wonderful day. I will definitely be reaching out for future dog-sitting needs, and I highly recommend your services to anyone looking for a caring and responsible sitter!”
“Megan was a God-send for me. I needed a sitter to watch Gracie while my husband and I were on our honeymoon. 3 weeks before the wedding I had some car issues that resulted in added stress to me. Megan worked with me on getting things booked, and knowing that having Gracie taken care of w was so relieving during that time. Her kids were amazing with Gracie and we loved getting daily updates on our sweet girl. We will definitely use Megan and her boys for Gracie in the future. Thank you sooo much for loving our girl.”
“Hailey and Justin are the best. They were responsive, flexible, and they treated our pup like a queen. My dog is always nervous when I leave her, but she wasn’t nervous with Justin & Hailey or their two dogs. When we picked our girl up, she was exhausted from play. I can’t say enough good things about Justin and Hailey. Such kind people. I will be using them again for sure and highly recommend them.”
“Anita is fantastic. My pup enjoyed his stay with her over Labor Day weekend. Her communication was always details and quick to respond. Anita opened up get home to my dog and made him feel a part of the family. I appreciated the daily updates and pictures. While away I felt comfortable that my best friend was being loved and cared for. I will be booking again.”
“Jenna and her family were AMAZING caring for Luna! I was nervous leaving her with a sitter and going out of the country but I knew she was in good hands with this family. I got daily picture and video updates and Luna was exhausted from playing by the time she got home! 10/10 would recommend :)”
“Eddie stayed 2 nights with Mark and Vicky. They kept us updated and sent pics twice a day. I feel very comfortable leaving Eddie in such good care. Will definitely be back!”
“I am so fortunate to have found Susan. She is very gentle and kind. My dog Teddy took to her immediately as well as to her husband and lab Jonah. Susan sent pictures and updates throughout the 3 1/2 days that Teddy was boarded with her. I will definitely use Susan for future boarding and/or daycare. In this short period of time that I have known Susan, it feels as if I’ve known her for years. I highly recommend Susan.”

About: As a former foster parent for dogs, I’ve cared for pups of all ages, sizes, and personalities—from energetic puppies to sweet senior dogs who need extra patience and love. I know how to read their body language, build trust, and provide a calm, comforting space. Whether your dog needs playful enrichment, gentle medication, or just lots of snuggles, I tailor my care to their unique needs. I treat every dog like family because to me, they truly are. I am also willing to help monitor and care for cats, and other small in-home animals, such as hamsters. If you have any of these pets that will need tended to please let me know during your booking. Bonus: I’m experienced with crate training, leash manners, and helping shy or anxious pups feel safe. Your dog will be in loving, capable hands! Please see my attached schedule within the photos for time frames I am available for your baby! If you have any questions about my availability or schedule, don't hesitate to reach out! At my home, pets are treated like part of the family. I create a safe, cozy, and low-stress environment where dogs can relax, play, and feel right at home. I follow their normal routines as closely as possible—feeding times, walks, play, and any special instructions you provide. Because of my experience as a foster parent, I’m very mindful of each dog’s personality and comfort level. Whether they need extra playtime, space to decompress, or just a lot of love, I adjust my care to fit their needs. If I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to respect their space and routines while keeping communication open. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and well-being always come first—no matter where they are.
“I was really happy with the care Enzo received from Alexandra. I got up many updates and pictures throughout his stay which made me feel at peace. She was also very helpful in setting a drop off and pick up time when I needed one last minute. Enzo came back happy and fulfilled after playing with her dogs.”
About: Having a pet of my own with diabetes set me on a path to learn more and start a career toward helping animals that may need more care than others. I am a helper by trade and love spending time with pets so I hope I can apply my years of dedication and adoration for animals by helping take care of yours when you need assistance. I work as a general handyman and take classes toward veterinary technician and looking to help others with my spare time. Walking dogs is a passion of mine and, depending on the owner's request, can keep it local or take them to a desired park or hiking path. I walk daily on my own so a few extra paws would be good for me and the pooch! My cats are indoor/outdoor so they roam but stay close to the property. I do not leave them out alone. Inside we play a bit until they get bored, listen to music, and of course they nap...mostly they nap... When I have had dogs in the past, they get outside time to enjoy the sunshine and breeze and we're never left out in bad weather conditions. They've always had a safe and comfortable place inside the home.
“Cassie did amazing with my pup!! She took care of my girl for three days and nights, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. My pup is on a little bit of a special diet and Cassie made sure to accommodate perfectly. She updated me regularly with photos and kept me in the loop the whole time about potty breaks and such, which I really appreciated. We will definitely be booking Cassie for any future dog sitting needs!”
“Thank you Mark and Elizabeth for taking such great care of Baxter while we were gone celebrating our anniversary. Thank you for the pictures of him having a great time. It’s great to know that there are people that will open up their homes and take in other peoples animals instead of having to leave them in a boarding house or somewhere else that they may not get very much attention or affection and play. You guys are awesome and we appreciate every thing . Jason and Dawn ( Baxter’s mommy and daddy)”
“Super nice, willing to accommodate our needs, and easy to work with. Would definitely have her watch our pets again! Thanks so much for helping us out!”
“She was great! Extremely kind and understanding after my trip got pushed to being home a few hours later than expected. She was also very diligent in taking care of my dog Mustard and even sent me home with some ear wipes. She also sent me a lot of photos, videos, and updates of Mustard during my trip so I knew she was doing well! I would recommend for you all to use Sichun as I definitely will again!”

She kept me updated with pictures and messages, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. It’s clear she not only has experience, but also a true gift for working with pets.

East Akron dog parents share their Rover experiences
Our baby Buddy is our family. He's our son. We rarely leave him with anyone, but I need you to know that Sarah did an amazing job. She made us feel comfortable, she communicated with us sent photos, videos of our furry love one. She put our mind at ease. Kept us updated on his activities. Job well done. Sarah is a very kind-hearted person. I would definitely utilize her services again and again.
Nick came through in a pinch when I had to leave town, and took Jax again for me even though he is bigger than most dogs he usually watches. Jax loves Nick and his whole family. Sometimes it's hard to trust someone with your fur babies, but I 100% trust him with Jax - he is great with communicating any questions or concerns to ensure the stay is as comfortable as possible for both the pets and his family included. He is very highly recommended in my book !!
I was very apprehensive boarding my dog for an extended period. He recently lost his mentor and long time buddy Tank, and he was experiencing separation issues which concerned me in bording him. Delaina “Lai” solved those issues real quick. Armino has a new best friend!! I was sent 3 updates per day, text, voice messages and videos. I was absolutely thrilled with the level of Care Armino received. Armino is a 120’ Cane Corso, and requires a special and experienced doggy boarder. Lai has that high level of experience and I highly recommend her for care of your doggies.
