Dog Sitting in Hartville

“This is the second time we have booked Matt for our kitties and we will continue to use him. Our oldest Jack loves getting pets from him and even snuggled with him a bit this time. We highly recommend him!”

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: My family has always had three dogs at a time, and most of them were rescues. I have been a dog lover since I was little. Dogs naturally love me. I am between jobs right now, and I want to fill that time doing what I love. Unfortunately, where I currently live does not allow dogs. I follow strict care schedules and have experience with medicated dogs. I am not trained to give injections but I'm willing to learn. My dog used to take seizure medicine daily.

“Kaine has helped with my dog for months and months and has always been flexible to offer assistance if he could. I highly recommend him. Also, my dogs love him.”

About: I've grown up with dogs all of my life. I adopt from our local rescues. My daughter and I currently has 3 fur girls, Maddie, Mochi and Micci. We lost my senior citizen Boudreaux in 2024. He would have been 17 in October, 2024. Our seniors deserve the most gentle care, love and LOTS of patience. My parents also have 4 White American Eskimos that I care for often in addition to my own. I work full time for a hospital Monday through Friday until 4:30pm. I love to go for walks, crochet and cook as well. As a single parent, I was seeking an opportunity for supplemental income and decided to go with what I know and love. DOGS! Thank you for considering me. I would love to meet and care for your family pets. I work until 4:30PM during the week. Tuesday through Friday I can be available for a drop in or walk after 5pm. The weekend times can vary. I would need a few days notice to ensure I have availability on the calendar. For pet walking, they will always have a leash with collar or harness on. I will take water with us during the walk for your pet as well as potty bags to ensure we remain sanitary. For drop-ins - all pets will get an appropriate amount of time for potty breaks, play time and of course extra cuddles and belly rubs. I will ensure they have enough fresh water (and food, if applicable) available.

About: With 10+ years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats, I have developed a strong understanding of their unique needs, personalities, and health requirements. I have successfully managed feeding schedules, grooming routines, and administered medications when necessary. My experience also includes providing companionship and stimulating playtime to ensure both physical and mental well-being. I am skilled in recognizing signs of illness or discomfort, and I am quick to respond to any medical or emergency situations. Growing up with multiple dogs, cats and horses, I understand the importance of creating a safe and comfortable environment. In my family, pets ARE family and at holiday gatherings pets frequently outnumber people! Whether it’s walking or cuddling, I am committed to making your pet feel as loved as all of ours! I am working as a nursing assistant whenever I pick up. I have plenty of time take care of animals, either to babysit them or just a visit. I live on an acre lot on a quiet, dead end street. Woods in the back and trails behind that to walk on for miles. I have a friendly 12 year old dog who loves to keep company to other pups.

About: I have a background in caring for exotic and household pets. I have had cats growing up ever since I was little and would find strays in our yard, to the current 3 cats in our home now. I had a beagle for over 15 years, and have experience working with dogs in a boarding kennel within a veterinary clinic. I have experience working with a variety of animals including tropical saltwater fish, reptiles, amphibians, birds and mammals ranging from crocodiles to sloths and penguins. I currently have 2 lizards, a chameleon and a gecko as well. I have a background in basic training for dogs, birds and reptiles including target feeding and basic commands. I would love to come take care of your furry or scaley friends! I currently have 3 cats and 2 lizards that are taken care of on a daily basis. Each animal has their own schedule and routine that vary from eachother, so extra care is often times needed. I also recently worked for an aquarium for the past 6 years, which I was a supervisor that worked up to 12 hour days taking care of basic and advanced care needs for the animals in our facility. I can give basic medications if needed or bottle feed/syringe. I can let out your dog on a runner or lead if that is preferred. Walks are also fine, given proper training based on the specific needs of the dog. I can provide playtime and enrichment to help with extra energy that needs burned off as well.

“We enjoyed meeting Mariah and she took fantastic care of both of our cats while we were gone on vacation. We had her come by twice a day to feed and play with Scooter and Kris. She stayed in touch with us with questions and photos. You can tell that she enjoys spending time with and taking care of animals. We will definitely be using Mariah’s services again!”

About: I grew up with pets, and have 2 dogs of my own now. Golden retrievers, Lido (2 years) and Vail (1 year). They are my WORLD. I am a first grade teacher on summer break, and would love to hang out with your pets! I am pretty much free all day long! I would prefer day time care but am willing to do whatever is needed! Just let me know. I have a BIG fenced in yard for the animals to run and my goldens are super friendly and love everyone and everything. I have a big crate at my house if that is needed as well.

“Loved that Brittany sent pictures of my dog and cats to update me on them. Surprised my cats allowed her to pet them, but glad they did! She sent updates on potties and let me know how it went. Will definitely book her again!”

About: Hey there! I have worked with dogs almost my entire working career. From shelters, fostering, doggy daycare, boarding, dog training, general practice veterinary clinics to even an emergency veterinary hospital. I love dogs! Happy to stop by and give your pup some one on one attention or take them out for a walk around the neighborhood ◡̈ I have an open and flexible schedule, please don’t hesitate to contact me with any questions or concerns regarding dates, times or requests! I would be happy to talk with you. I have years of experience with animal behavior, care, nutrition and safety. It will be easy for us to work together to create an individualized plan that will work best for your pup!

“Natalie is amazing! I asked for her to help at the last minute and she didn't hesitate to help. She is very patient and was great with my stubborn dog. Thanks again Natalie!”

About: Welcome to my page! The most important thing you need to know about me is that I love animals (sometimes more than people). Nothing makes me happier than coming home after a long day and being greeted by my babies or cuddling with them in bed. I currently have four dogs, and while it can get chaotic, I love every second of it. I have lived with dogs since birth and have enjoyed witnessing the unique personalities of each of our pets. That is why I love meeting new animals - each one has a new personality that I always find adorable. Each different temperament of our pets has taught me valuable lessons that have shaped me into the passionate pet caregiver I am today. I have a heart of empathy that I would love to extend to your babies by having the opportunity to take care of them! While I may have sold you on my love for dogs, I have not yet touched on the responsibilities that come with professional care. In my house, my mom and I take care of our four dogs together. We share the daily duties of feeding, letting them outside multiple times a day, taking them for a daily 15 to 30-minute walk in our yard, and making sure they have plenty of time outside to ease stress and anxiety by getting their energy out. Additionally, I have experience with senior dog care as our 11-year-old golden retriever gets frequent hotspots that need attended to as well as needs Gabapentin given for her arthritis. One of our other dogs is an American Pitbull terrier, Australian Cattle Dog, and Great Pyrenees mixed breed. As you can probably imagine, she is highly energetic and has a strong prey-drive. We have her trained on a stim collar that is controlled by a remote, so basically what I'm trying to say is I have experience with the wild child as well! All of these specifics aside, I have been pet sitting for three years now and thoroughly enjoy it. As a nursing student, responsibility, communication, caregiving, timeliness, and integrity come naturally to me. I would love nothing more than to meet you and your pets and share my experience with you all! Currently, I am a nursing student and work PRN as a Clinical Technician in the MICU and a Nursing Student Tech in the ER. Because I work PRN, I do not schedule any shifts more than two-weeks in advance to allow a clear schedule for possible bookings. I attend Bryant & Stratton College in Parma and currently attend classes that are subject to change with each semester. I commute about an hour to each of those locations from my home, so driving is not an issue for me. You can always ask for more specifics in the chat or during our meet and greet. As a former college student-athlete, time-management has become my forte. I keep a detailed and organized schedule to ensure that when I take a job, your pets become my priority. Communication is crucial to maintain safety and trust while I stay or visit your home. I ask that my clients let me know ahead of time the security measures taken on a daily basis. I do this not only to protect myself, but also to maintain your home's security so your time away is spent without anxiety. I know it can be hard or even weird to allow a stranger in your home so feel free to ask any questions.

About: Ive taken care of family pets and looking to gain more expierence as time goes on. Ive also taken care of a friend's cat . My availability is pretty much open right now. For a few more weeks and then I will have to narrow my availability down. But I am available during the week and weekends right now. I would be caring for your pet in your home, or if Im only dog walking then I will pick up at your home and drop back off... I wont be caring for any pets in my home at this time.

“Very communicative and great with the pooches! Will definitely use again.”
