Pet Boarding in Elyria

“Ralph was amazing, he accommodated our girls and treated them as if they were his own. He ensured that they were the only clients he had during their stay to make sure they were comfortable. He sent so many photos and made sure that we knew that were well cared for during their first stay with him. There was no doubt. Our large breed is shy and after our first meet and greet, she warmed up to Ralph so easily and she does that with no one. He has a way with animals that makes them feel so comfortable. I would highly recommend Ralph but I would like to be able to book him in the future 😉”

About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, dogs, cats, and parrots were always members of the family. I also spent two years working at a pet hotel, caring for dogs of all ages, temperaments, and needs, including senior, sick, and reactive dogs. I adopted my own dog, Montgomery, when he was six years old, and he’s been my best friend ever since. We enjoy walks, car rides, and the occasional treat run. I have a fenced-in backyard and provide a safe, loving environment where your pet will be treated like family. Whether your dog prefers playtime, cuddles, or a quiet place to relax, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I work from home full-time, which allows me to provide plenty of supervision, attention, and potty breaks throughout the day. Pet care is already a part of my daily routine with my own dog, Montgomery, so caring for your pet will fit naturally into my schedule. Whether your dog enjoys playtime, walks, or simply having someone nearby, they’ll have company and care throughout the day. I have a fenced-in backyard and work from home, allowing me to provide plenty of supervision, attention, and outdoor time. I’ll follow your pet’s routine and treat them like family.

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover and currently have two dogs and two cats of my own, so caring for pets is part of my everyday life. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your fur babies because I would only want the absolute best care for mine. I have experience with dogs of different sizes, ages, and energy levels. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, administering basic medications, walks, crate routines, playtime, and of course plenty of cuddles. Living with both dogs and cats has also helped me become very attentive to animal behavior and body language, which allows me to keep pets safe, calm, and happy in my care. I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure owners feel comfortable with regular updates and photos. My goal is always to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment while you’re away. Pet care is already a big part of my daily life since I have two dogs and two cats of my own. My day naturally revolves around feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and making sure my pets are happy and comfortable. I do work full time, but my job is very flexible. When I’m booked for pet sitting, I’m able to adjust my schedule or take time off to make sure I can fully focus on the pets in my care. I prioritize reliability and planning so every pet gets the attention and consistency they deserve. My home is clean, pet-safe, and thoughtfully set up to create a calm environment. I remove any hazards, keep floors clear, secure doors and gates, and ensure all pets are supervised at all times. I follow each pet’s routine closely — including feeding schedules, medication needs, exercise, and playtime — so they feel right at home. I understand how important trust is when it comes to your furry family members. I pride myself on being reliable, responsible, and communicative. I provide regular updates, photos, and quick responses so you always know how your pet is doing. Whether your pet loves active play, cozy naps, or extra cuddles, I tailor my care to their personality and needs. My goal is simple: to give you peace of mind and your pet a safe, loving home away from home.

“Derek is always our first choice for Ellie. He has great communication and spends so much time outside playing with pups and then treating them to homemade dinners. Couldn’t ask for a better more reliable person for your pets!”

Kate K.

“Melissa was great. Our pup loved it. Loved the pics Melissa sent while we were out of town. Would refer her 100% as she was amazing. Thank you Melissa for all you do.”

“Eric and Polly did a wonderful job watching Riley while we were away! It gave us so much relief while we were on vacation. Riley seemed to enjoy the companionship of their dog. Also, thanks so much for the pictures!”

Karri S.

“This was the first time we have ever boarded our pup and we were nervous pet parents. Roselie and Kevin answered every question, were extremely friendly and put our minds at ease! They updated us with pictures and all the fun Freya was having with them. 10/10 would recommend! 🐶”

About: I’ve owned and taken care of dogs and cats for most of my life. My life has been enriched by caring for kittens, puppies, adults, and seniors. I’ve given pills and eye drops to both cats and dogs. I love playing with cats and dogs and seeing them happy! It would be an honor to care for your pet. I’m the owner/operator of a new pet transportation business and have taken care of puppies during 200+ mile trips. This includes giving them water and food, cleaning them and their crate up (if they got carsick ☹️), sitting with them on breaks while they roamed the back of my SUV, and snuggles. I am excited to take care of fur babies at your home or mine! I have two cats of my own, a calico (7 yrs old) and a Siamese mix (6 yrs old), and they are amazing! 😻 I have a fenced in backyard and swimming pool (which can also be fenced off if desired by pet parent). I can feed, water, do short walks, and give medicine or eye drops (to compliant pets). I have 2 cats and am happy to provide care to cat friendly dogs at my home or I can come to yours. I’m available M-F 8-4 and for overnight stays.

“Julie took such wonderful care of our VERY senior dog. She sent several photos and videos each day, along with a daily update on how Ted was doing. We will 100% use Julie again in the future.”

Margaret N.

“Sabrina is absolutely fantastic! She took excellent care of my dog, followed all feeding and care instructions perfectly, and kept me updated the whole time. I received daily photos updates, and it was so comforting to see my pup playing and settling in perfectly. Highly recommend to anyone in the Avon Lake area”

Alexander T.

“Miranda was very nice and communicative during my dogs stay! They came home absolutely happy after a long weekend and were well taken care of!”

Jessica K.

“Brendan & Sarah were absolutely fabulous! They treated my pup like their own and sent me updates and pictures…i am so sad I found them at the end of my time in Cleveland because i definitely would have been using them regularly!”

Jaclyn W.

“So friendly, accommodating and helped to stay in touch with my little girl while I was away on work travel! Their dog and my baby became great friends! A loving home and made me feel ok while away from my puppy! ❤️?”

Koko K.

“Cale and his Dad were phenomenal! This was the first time I have ever had to board my dog before and I was extremely nervous to do so. They were so reassuring and walked me through the entire process. I loved that I could bring Junipers toys, bed and blanket with her and they were able to give Juniper her daily meds. She was so happy, and calm when I picked her up and I loved the daily pupdates. I now feel very comfortable being able to leave her on longer vacations as I know she will be well looked after!”

Allison M.

“I'm pretty sure my dog wanted to stay at Brittany's. She sent a lot of pics with updates. Took great care of our little guy and I'm sure he is looking forward to going back.”

About: I got my first puppy for my 10th birthday. She was entirely my responsibility. I fed, bathed, and trained her. She was a huge white shepherd and the sweetest thing on paws I still miss her. Since then, I’ve had many, many dogs and cats through the years. I’ve been through dog training school several times. I currently have three full-sized Goldendoodles who are reasonably well trained, although they are still way too friendly. I’m retired and available about any day except Sunday afternoons: noon church service. I get my groceries delivered, so I’m here most of the time. I try to walk one of mine every day, weather permitting. I would walk your pup before I walk mine. I also have a fenced-in back yard where the dog run and play. My house is dog friendly, and I’m not overly concerned with dirt. I also have the world’s best vacuum cleaner to deal with it and all the hair. lol I have a large fenced-in back yard with river rock instead of grass, so mud is not a problem. My three friendly Doodles love racing around, especially in the snow, and they would love to add your dog to the fun. At the end of the day, we all go upstairs and sleep in my room with a baby-gate blocking the door, so there is no house roaming overnight. I also have room for crates if that’s what your dog needs to feel comfortable. I have one cat who is comfortable around dogs and knows where to hide if necessary. Please have your dog be familiar with cats or at least won’t attack her if she tries to make friends. I can accommodate special diets and know how to use a pill gun for medications.

“As a first time user of rover services, I can not speak highly enough of the great care, new experiences, and love Ron and his wife provided to my staffy, Abra. There were daily updates on how she was doing and photos and video of her hiking experience with Ron. I would not hesitate at all to rebook with Ron in the future.”

Robert F.

“Summer was perfect, from her communication to professionalism to just being completely understanding of dogs and pet parents. I was comfortable with my decision from start to finish. She asked questions if she wasn’t sure and left me tons of videos and photos to keep me updated. She has been my favorite and I will be using her services again (most likely only her lol, thanks Rover)”
