About: I have volunteered at rescue shelters multiple times and have dealt with many different-aged dogs, old, young etc. There were over 50+ dogs so I would say I very much handle multiple pets well. I am in college right now at Hiram college, I am a junior and have classes Monday thru Friday. Monday,Wednesday and Friday I have class from 11:40-2 and Tuesday and Thursday I have class from 9:40-12 I have had multiple dogs that needed crate training so you will have no problem with that, I will also keep your fur baby very good company.

About: I am a professional dog trainer with 20+ years experience in training, obedience, and I also have a background in the Veterinary field. I am always home, and can even handle dogs with special needs. You and your dog(s) become family! Dog training and boarding is all I do! I am flexible and available to accommodate all of your pets needs, and even medication schedules. I will make them feel right at home and keep them on your schedule! I prefer crating dogs while I am out of the house, however, I do have a space for dogs that do better out of a crate. We can talk more about it, based on your dogs needs. I am in a quiet neighborhood on about an acre. I can do leash walks, obedience training, etc upon request.

“This was my first time using Rover (and the first time having anyone outside of family care for my puppy), and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! I have a young Doberman with a lot of energy, and Arya was patient, calm, and firm in just the right way—which is exactly what she needs. He took her on a nice long walk, and I really appreciated the videos he sent along the way. They gave me peace of mind and made the whole process so much less stressful. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for someone reliable and confident with energetic dogs!”

“Brittany was great looking after our English Mastiff. She would drop in for visits & walks. Brittany stopped by for a meet & greet and our dog took to her right away. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats and other animals for 10+ years. Animals need extra love and attention when there parents can’t be there!! I would love to be that person for your animal! I can give you updates or send pictures when I take care of your animal too, because I know how much I love it also! I go to Kent so I have free time most of the time besides during my classes! I have experience with all different kinds of animals as well! My house has a fenced in yard, if needed to be brought to my house. I will also walk your dog in your neighborhood or wherever you’d like me to!

About: Hello! My name is Angela :) I love animals and taking care of them. I can be shy with people but with your fur babies i’m an open book:) I’ve had dogs most of my life and just pets in general. I have taken care of sick and senior animals as well. Currently no dogs or cats live in my home besides my lovely guinea pig max. I’m available any day with times in the early mornings and late nights and on the weekends I am very flexible! I’d love to take care of your dog(s) and/or kitties and be a part of their daily routine. Hopefully I can make their day and mine! If you have any questions or concerns you can contact me on my number or on the app. I hope you have a nice day/evening! (Background check is passed) I can visit your pet before and after my work schedule. I am also very flexible on the weekends or if you have any last minute changes. I have a guinea pig named max that I take care of every day! I make sure to greet animals with a smile on my face and a very calm manner. It can be scary for some pets to see a new face in the house when the owners are gone but I treat them just as well and make sure they are taken good care of before you come back :) I take safety processions and make sure they are always let outside if there is a fence or leash at the house and they are fed according to directions if needed.

“Kelli was reliable, flexible with our schedule, and great communication - I would recommend her!”

About: While growing up, I fed, watered, played with, and walked our family friends. I even picked up poop! As an adult, I've done it all, from cleaning major messes to administering meds. I love canines and felines of all varieties, from the smallest to the largest! I am available to care for your pet(s) throughout the business day. Although I am also doing some volunteer work, I keep a regular schedule. I will care for your pets according to your express instructions. They will be treated as my own with as much love and concern as I can provide.

“Perfect service. I'm down for awhile and Amber is used to get daily hikes. Matt was a perfect match for my girl. He was very friendly, prompt, and personable. Amber loved him. Will use him again”

About: Mom to two energetic pups.🐶 Roy (english setter) & Banks (black lab) keep my life exciting! We enjoy swimming, running, & a good ole cuddle on the couch. As someone whose job requires traveling, I understand the stress it can be to have someone else watch your pups. I’m here to hopefully make your life easier & remove extra anxiety that pups can cause when you’re traveling without them 💓 I am currently a Division 1 coach whose competition season is in the fall, so I only have Mondays off, but my spring season allows me to have an easier schedule with weekends free! I have two friendly, active pups who love to make new friends! I live within 5 miles of 3 different parks that I love taking my pups to!

About: Growing up with a family dog, I’ve always looked forward to our long walks. Since I've moved to care for my grandma & I can’t have a pet at my current home, I’m looking to be the dedicated adventure buddy your pup deserves! I’m an avid walker who cleans up after your pet & loves exploring local parks and trails, and I’m just as comfortable handling a brisk, high-energy trek as I am a slow, 'sniff-heavy' stroll for seniors or four legged friends who love getting distracted! enjoy keeping pets company in home, whether its playing with toys, using lick mats, or just spending some time together! because I work evening and overnight shifts, i have guaranteed availability every morning and midday for your dog’s routine. whether you need a recurring daily walker or a same-day visit because you’re running late, i'm local and ready to jump in. my current job is closing in a few months, so i’ll be even more available for your schedule soon! In public, i use a short-leash grip, stay hyper-aware of our surroundings without distractions like phones/technology of any kind (aside from photos, of course!), and avoid unknown dogs to keep your pup protected. i pride myself on being a trustworthy, punctual communicator, providing frequent photo updates so you’re always in the loop. i am very confident in my ability to kennel/leash pets & i consider myself well-versed in administering medication. I am keen when reading animal stress signals, ensuring your pet feels safe and understood under my care!

About: Dogs have been my best friends all my life- they give more than take. I have had mutts and labs thru the years and love taking the time to give back to them the love and attention they deserve. I have been trained in training my pups/dogs to sit, heel, stay, fetch, leave it, etc. I have had rescues and adore their ever giving love and thanks. I love the privilege in helping others care for their furry family. Update- I am back in OH and available for drop-ins on weekdays and weekends. Please feel free to contact me regarding your schedule- thank you! I always verify with owners their pets' physical and safety needs, inside and out. I love playing ball, walking around the yard or in the neighborhood or parks if near- giving dogs the time to investigate their environment- running, smelling, socializing and down right having fun- sun or shine, hot or cold weather- we'll have fun.

About: Hi! My name is Emma, and I am majoring in Biology with a concentration in Animal Ecology at Kent State. I am passionate about animals of all kinds, and I have experience caring for exotic as well as domestic critters through various internships and volunteering at a local animal shelter! I am a senior at Kent State graduating in December. My class schedule is pretty flexible, so I would be available certain times during the week for walking or drop-in visits. I am available on weekends for house sitting. I am committed to maintaining a safe and happy environment for your pup by following any of your directions and instructions regarding their care. I want to ensure an enriching experience for your pet that will leave them satisfied and happy for when you return to them!

About: This year, I rescued two kittens and cared for them from their earliest weeks — gaining their trust, nurturing them, and watching them grow into confident, loving cats has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. Earning a cat’s comfort doesn’t happen overnight, and through patience, gentle interaction, and consistent care, I’ve learned just how important it is to meet each cat at their own pace. I understand body language, stress signals, and the importance of creating a calm environment where cats feel safe and seen. Whether your cat is shy, playful, or independent, I’m dedicated to treating them with the same love and patience I’ve given my own rescues. Skills I bring: • Experience nurturing rescued kittens into healthy adults • Trust-building through gentle interaction & positive reinforcement • Understanding feline body language + stress signals • Feeding schedules + hydration & enrichment awareness • Litter maintenance, grooming basics, and medication administration (if applicable) • Creating safe, calm spaces for anxious or shy cats • Play, enrichment, and quality bonding time I’m currently a senior in college taking classes online, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I’m available throughout the week and can adjust to mornings, afternoons, or evenings — whatever works best for you and your pet. Although my own pets are currently back home with my family while I’m away for school, I bring the same level of care and attention to every pet I look after. When I’m caring for a client’s pet, I treat their routine and comfort as the priority — making sure they feel safe, happy, and at ease in their home environment. For dogs, I provide daily walks, exercise, and structured outdoor time to keep them mentally and physically stimulated. With sitting visits, I make sure they’re fed on schedule, have fresh water, receive plenty of affection, and stick to the routines they’re used to. I’m attentive to behavior, body language, and energy levels, and I adapt to each pet’s personality — whether that means extra playtime, gentle reassurance, or calm companionship. What I include in care: • Regular walks & bathroom breaks • Feeding + water refresh • Enrichment + playtime based on energy level • Litter or waste cleanup & home tidiness • Routine-based comfort to reduce stress • Photo updates & communication for peace of mind • Administering medication (if true for you)

“Brandon is awesome. Moxie loves him. That’s what is important to me. Moreover Brandon knows so much about dog behavior that he’s truly valuable.”

About: Ive had dogs all 21 years of my life. Currently I have 5 dogs all medium sized dogs which is a lot of cleaning and attention so I understand needing the help. I love all animals and would be willing to work with pets that I have not worked with yet. I’m big on communication just want everyone to be comfortable my schedule is pretty lenient at the moment. I work for a company called premium/Acosta, which is a vendor for Walmarts. I also do Rover and Instacart. I do like to travel occasionally but I’m always big on communicating ahead of time at least two weeks in advance when I do plan something. I would always call or text if there was ever a concern or question and wouldnt do something that wasnt talked about before. I grew up with dogs and around animals all my life. I love all animals and am willing to learn and work with pets I have and haven’t worked with. I want both parties to be as comfortable as possible. I love communication, I always appreciate tips and tricks from the owners especially letting me know any triggers for the pet or boundaries.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 9 years old, and over the years I’ve looked after the pets of roommates, friends, and family. From energetic puppies to sweet senior dogs, I know how to give each pet the love, patience, and attention they need. I have hands-on experience with puppy training, daily walks, playtime, feeding, and medication if needed. Your dog’s happiness and safety are always my top priorities — I treat every furry friend like they’re my own! I currently work Mondays through Thursdays, but have lots of time in the mornings, evenings, and weekends to care for your pets! My schedule can be flexible which gives me the option to work with the schedule that works best for you and your pets. I care for pets like they’re my own! I follow their usual routines for feeding, walks, playtime, and snuggles so they feel comfortable and happy. In your home, I make sure they get plenty of attention and exercise while keeping things just the way they’re used to. In my home, I provide a safe, cozy space with lots of love and supervision.

“Frank is great! Very reliable and my pets love him.”

About: I've cared for dogs, cats, and fish on and off for years and truly love being around animals. Whether it's playtime, walks, or just giving them company, I'm committed to making pets feel safe and happy while you're away. I treat every pet like my own—with patience and lots of love! I am currently studying at the University of Akron as a full time student. I would be more than willing to work with any schedule to make something work for you and your pet! In a client’s home, I follow their pet’s routine as closely as possible to keep things consistent and stress-free. I make sure they’re fed on time, have plenty of play and potty breaks, and feel safe and comfortable in their familiar space. I also keep the home tidy and provide updates so you always know how your pet is doing.
