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.

“So so amazing!! Luka was so well taken care of and had the best time playing with bruno. 10/10 recommend!”


3. 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!!”


4. 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!”


5. Cornelia B.

“Thanks for watching Rosie. Rosie slept the whole way home. She kept me updated & sent lots of pic. I would definitely have her watch Rosie again ?”


6. Marie H.


“Marie is great and super transparent and open about the business she runs. We received great communication the entire day while our pup was in her care with many pictures included. The peace of mind Marie brings is unmatched! We will definitely be frequenting her services as often as possible. Thanks Marie!”


7. Alexandra J.
“I highly recommend Alexandra to anyone who needs a loving, patient, caring and fun place for their loved fur-baby to stay. Alexandra has watched out precious "Luna" on multiple occasions, and our normally shy dog gets so excited when we bring her to Alexandra to stay while we are out of town. It makes us feel much better knowing our girl is happy and safe when we need to spend time apart. Our Luna has pretty intense separation anxiety, but she does really well with Alexandra.”


8. Carrie Haring K.

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


9. 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.”

Unfortunately they all past so now I am on my 4th dog he is a 5 year old lab, husky, german shepherd mix that I recused from a bad house at 11 weeks old. I also have a 9 year old mini rex rabbit that has a condo of a cage but comes out when the dogs are put away. I will always have a recused dog and i'll always be around animals. I have dog sat for 17 years but 7 of those years I have slowed down but Im wanna get back into it and have been dog sitting for 2 years. I miss being around animals and helping other people out. I am a stay at home mom so I have plenty of time to care for all the animals and give them what they need. My animals are my children so they have free range of the whole house and go wherever I go if they are allowed. I have a big back yard and lots of toys to play with.
