Doggy Day Care in Elizabeth Park Valley, Akron, Ohio

“Marie took the time to meet with us the day before we dropped our poodle off. She was very polite and took the time to let us get acquainted with herself, her own dogs, and some of the other dogs in her care. She was very receptive to the tips we gave her regarding his normal routine, how our poodle normally behaves in certain novel situations and what actions bring about positive outcomes. Marie clearly has a good understanding of how to monitor a dog's behavior and how it is interacting with the environment and other dogs. We could see that she has established a good set up for pet sitting; and it incorporates safety and pleasure for the dogs. Marie was more than gracious with her time and we were thankful to have a trustworthy person to leave our poodle with while we attended a wedding.”

About: I have been living with dogs, my entire life. In that time I have trained multiple puppies, and I have dog sit for multiple families. I work from home, so I am able to give my dogs and any dogs that I am watching plenty of attention during the day. I keep our house and our fenced-in backyard clear of any dangers that could harm any of our pets. I keep water readily available, both inside and outside along with comfortable places to lay down.

“I had an excellent experience with Mark & Elizabeth. They showed genuine care and attention to my fur baby, providing regular updates and sending adorable pictures. It's clear they have a true passion for animals, and I felt confident that my dog was in good hands. I highly recommend their services for anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.”

I truly enjoy connecting with each pet’s unique personality.

About: Hii!! I’m Julia and I absolutely love animals. I grew up with dogs and spent a lot of time caring for stray cats, so being around animals has always come naturally to me. I regularly dog sit for my parents, friends, and neighbors, whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them company while their humans are away. I’d love to be a part of your pet’s routine and give them all the love and attention they deserve! Pictured are a couple pets I regularly look after. 🐾💛 I grew up with dogs, cared for stray cats, and these days I regularly dog sit for my parents, friends, and neighbors. I'm currently on summer break and would love to spend time with some furry walking companions! Whether it’s strolls around the neighborhood, playtime, or just being a cozy buddy, I’m here to make sure your pet feels happy and loved. I live in a pet-friendly apartment with plenty of space for both cats and dogs, and I make sure each pet feels safe and comfortable in my care. For dogs, I take them outside regularly for walks, fresh air, and playtime. I keep their routines consistent, whether it’s feeding, medication, or quiet time. For cats, I create a cozy, low-stress environment with room for litter boxes, toys, and hiding spots if they need them. I also keep plenty of space for any supplies you provide, and I always treat your pets like they’re my own — with lots of love, patience, and attention.

About: My name is Holly. I have 1 chihuahua. I am an animal lover! I grew up on a farm, so I am familiar with care of many types of animals. I have never not had a dog in my life. I have a flexible schedue, own my own home, work remotely full-time , and am very dependable. When house sitting, i do prefer stays less than 4 days, but willing to consider longer stays. I'm looking forward to meeting and caring for your furry loved ones! Why I love dog sitting I have had at least 1 dog my whole life. I've had breeds ranging from Chihuahuas, to Boxers, to Bull Terriers. Dogs are a blessing and I love having them in my life. I will administer pills and liquid drops, but not shots. I work remotely, so I am fully available to your pet. I have a 15 year old chihuahua who is very chill. No children or anyone else in the house, so if your dog or cat needs a relaxing stay, I can provide that.

About: I’ve loved dogs my entire life, and now that I’m recently retired, I have the time to give them the attention, care, and companionship they deserve. I treat every dog like part of the family—whether we’re going for a walk, playing fetch, or just relaxing together. With a calm, patient nature and a flexible schedule, I can focus fully on your pet’s needs and routines. You can rest easy knowing they’ll be safe, happy, and loved like one of my own. I am recently retired and am available all of the time. I currently have two small dogs of my own and watching an additional dog would be no trouble at all. If you dog stays with me, they will be treated just like my own pet. I am able to walk them, feed them special diets, or administer oral medication. I am home almost all of the time and can give them the attention they need.

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.

About: Hi I’m Nathan and I want to make your life easier! I learned to walk my grandparents dog as soon as I was old enough to hold the leash. I have always had a cat, but I only had one dog for most of his life until he crossed that rainbow bridge. I found that the paw prints left on my heart could be filled with the joy of helping my friends and family with their dogs. I love to help keep dogs happy and healthy, including a good diet, and plenty of exercise. I work from home full time, so I’m available for evening walks. If your dog is cat friendly and on the smaller size, and decides I’m a safe human, I’m also willing to board both during the day and overnight. I have two cats, I keep their food out of reach of dogs when they’re over, and their litter box FAR separated from where a dog can access it.

“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!!”

“Okay, so, I never leave my dog with a sitter. Normally, I am the sitter. But life gets hectic, holidays happen, and I needed to drop my fur baby off somewhere safe. She means the whole world to me and I was petrified of leaving her with a stranger but my gut told me she'd be fine. My gut was right! Nibbler seems very content, and Tyler updated me about her regularly while she stayed with him. She and I are happy as clams. I would definitely recommend him to take care of your four-legged friends and family!”

Sharing detailed information about your dog helps me tailor their care and ensure their safety, making them feel right at home. They’ll always be in a nurturing environment where they’re never alone for long and receive all the attention they crave!
