Pet Boarding Hartville

About: With over 25 years of experience caring for and loving dogs, I understand that every pet deserves to feel safe, happy, and loved while their family is away. Whether your pup needs a fun walk, drop-in visit, doggie daycare, boarding, overnight care, or simply some extra companionship, I’ll treat them like one of my own. I am Pet CPR and First Aid certified, giving you added peace of mind while your furry family member is in my care. I also have experience administering medications, providing basic training reinforcement, and caring for senior dogs and pets with special needs. I welcome dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. Communication is very important to me, so you’ll receive regular updates, photos, and messages throughout your pet’s stay so you always know how they’re doing. My home features a secure fenced yard with plenty of room to run, play, explore, and relax. Located on a quiet dead-end road, it’s a peaceful and safe environment where your dog can feel comfortable and at home. If your pet is happiest in their own surroundings, I’m also happy to provide care in your home. Maintaining your dog’s normal routine helps reduce stress and separation anxiety while giving you peace of mind that they’re receiving the same love and attention they get every day. Your pets aren’t just clients—they’re family, and they’ll always be treated with the same love, patience, and care I’d give my own. I am currently working from home and my availability is very flexible. I can assure that your furbaby (s) is in the best hands and I prioritize their needs above my own I have a fenced in yard with shelter and water. I live on a dead end road so very quiet and safe. Your furbabies will have fun running and playing outdoors and indoors! If you would rather me come to your home, I’m familiar with taking care of other dogs in the safety of their current environment including over night stays!

“Janissa was fantastic! It was our first time boarding our dog, and she made things so easy. She sent photos throughout his stay of him playing. We didn’t have to worry about him at all while we were out of town! We will definitely be using Janissa again in the future.”

“My original sitter canceled the morning before my trip. I was frantically trying to find a new sitter and Kathleen let me book quickly without hesitation. I am so thankful for that! I recieved messages and pictures while away and I could tell Myles had a great time and was well taken care of. Thanks again!!”

About: I have shown dogs in the confirmation room. For over 20 years. I have shown dogs to the point that they'd have become champions. I've had one dog invited to Westminster. I'm familiar with grooming dogs for show. But I am now retired from all those things. But I still retain my skills. Not to toot my own horn, but I have had 1 dog invited to West Minister. I am a retired school teacher. So I am usually very flexible. With my animals. Currently my. Project is working with. A new toy poodle I got. Training him. In obedience. I have one puppy, toy Poodle. I currently have 4 cats that have rescued. My puppy is doing well. I have had him for a year still working at potty training. In the evening. I usually spend time watching TV with Tallow (puppy). Socialize, socialize socialize! Working with my poodles hair while watching TV also provides bonding time and patience for you and your puppy.

About: I am an experienced cane corso breeder and pet care specialist.

About: All my life i’ve been surrounded by animals of all sorts; dogs, cats, chickens, horses, turtles, you name it and ive had it! I think it’s very important that us caretakers provide all needs for your furry(and non-furry) friends! Some animals have certain accommodations like extra play time, long walks, attention, meal plans, or even separation from other animals in the house that i believe must always be met. Making sure your animal feels loved and cared for even in absence from their owners is also crucial in helping keep our animal family happy! Having many animals of my own (1 dog, 8 cats, a turtle, a lizard, and chickens) caring for these animals has become a daily routine. Being away for school definitely puts a riff in my routine of animal care so i’m always looking for a way to spend some extra time with animals even if they’re not my own. My dog has terrible anxiety and needs extra care. She is often let out to run free in our backyard. Out 8 cats need fed and watered multiple times a day with one of our cats liking the great outdoors as well. The lizard and turtle need fed on a different schedule as they don’t get fed daily. Litter boxes and other animal dropping are cleaned in a daily basis along with any other mess that comes along with pet ownership. Regular baths and grooming are also necessary for the proper care of all animals.

“We had a great experience with Lauren. She got right back to us when we needed a sitter right away. (My son brought his dog with him for a visit from out of town. She was a puppy and a big dog. Jordan is a Yorkie and was agitated due to the large dog who just wanted to play. ) We were able to take him over right away. She made him feel comfortable right away and sent us pictures during his visit to assure us he was doing well. I would highly recommend her for anyone who needs a sitter!”

“Marilyn is superb! She is very quick in her response time, has great communication and gave attentive, mindful and loving care to our Lyra! She went above and beyond sharing updates and was excellent in all aspects of caretaking in her home. Overall, Marilyn is a lovely and kind person and we are blessed to have her as our dog care giver! Highly recommend and have already booked her again!”

About: Happy dogs make me happy. I work for an animal health care company, where I help others care for their animals. So, I spend forty hours a week talking about animals, biological for animals, pain meds for animals, and treats for animals. Before I go to sleep each night, I pray for my customers and their animals. The first thing I do each morning is thank God for my dogs, then I kiss their noses. By the way, that's what I do when we go to bed each night. I raised two wonderful sons from the ages of three and four years old, by myself. They are caring men and have inherited my love for animals. They learned by example. Both are pet owners and compassionate human beings.

“Josh was an excellent dog sitter. His communications were great and our dog was well cared for. She made friends with his dogs and came home tired and happy!”

“Sadie is absolutely wonderful! She watched our puppy Kovu for 5 nights and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. From the start, she was so understanding of his needs. She sent us daily pictures, videos, and progress updates, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear Kovu was having a great time with her, her son, and her dog. He came home just as happy as when he left! We completely trust her and are so grateful to have found someone who loves our pup like we do. Highly recommend and we'll definitely be booking with her again!”

About: I have spent my life caring for and loving dogs! I’ve raised many dogs of my own and have also helped my children care for their puppies over the years. I currently have two Golden Retrievers, a Bichon Poodle, and a Yorkshire Terrier. Throughout my life, I’ve raised and cared for Vizslas, Shih Tzus, Labradors, mixed breeds, and more. Anything from energetic puppies to sweet senior dogs. This experience has made me comfortable caring for dogs of all different sizes, personalities, activity levels, and life stages. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I’ll care for your dog with the same patience, attention, and affection I give my own. I currently work as a mail carrier, typically from about 7 AM–1 PM. I’m an early bird, so I’m happy to provide plenty of attention, potty breaks, feeding, or playtime before I leave for work. I’m usually home for the rest of the day after work, which gives me lots of time for walks, outdoor time, play, and cuddles with your pup! Outside of my work hours, I’m home most days and love spending time in my yard with my dogs, so caring for another pup fits naturally into my everyday routine. I have a large yard with plenty of space to enjoy the outdoors, as well as a secure lead for pups who love spending time outside. I am also used to walking dogs on lease so that would be no issue at all. I’m typically outside in my yard every morning and again in the afternoon (sometimes through the evening) when I get home, so your pup will have plenty of opportunities for fresh air, playtime, and supervision. My dogs are total lovebugs and are used to sharing their home with other pups! My Golden Retrievers, Dale and Luke, enjoy spending time with dogs of all sizes and would be happy to have another friend around. For smaller or younger dogs, my Yorkshire Terrier, Lucy, is just under a year old and loves having a playmate. (Sam, my Bichon poodle is around 16 years old so he doesnt play very much lol). My dogs tend to follow me wherever I go, and your pup would be welcome to join our little crew! I know every dog has a different personality and comfort level, so I’m happy to follow your normal routines and preferences. If your pup needs some quiet time, prefers their own space, or needs to be separated from the other dogs at any point, I can safely crate them or provide space away from the group based on your instructions. Most importantly, I want you to feel comfortable leaving your pup with me. I’ll treat them as part of the family while respecting the routines, boundaries, and care instructions you provide.

“Courtney was great, we did a meet and great before we booked. We had great communication and she sent pics of my dog during the stay. Her home is well suited for pet sitting, has a nice fenced in yard in quiet neighborhood, end of a street without much traffic. They don't have any other pets, so that makes it nice too, don't have to worry marking as much. Highly recommend!”

“Shannnon was amazing with my boys! I’ve never really left them with anyone but family and she made me feel like they were her family! She sent lots of photos and updated me throughout their stay! I would be happy to let my dogs go stay with her any time I needed! The dogs didn’t want to come back home when I picked them up!”

About: Since I was young, I’ve always had a pet. After college I finally got a pet of my own and they’ve just multiplied over the years! Dogs are my specialty - I’ve taken care of dogs belonging to friends and family & I’ve trained both of my dogs since they were puppies. I’d say what sets me apart from others is that I have plenty of time in the afternoons (and any time during the weekend) to take care of your pup because my job ends early in the day unlike a 9-5 job. I have years of experience under my belt and I just really love animals. Always have and always will! As a teacher, I am always home early on the weekdays so I’ll have plenty of time every afternoon to play with & walk your dog! I am available any time on the weekends and I can board Fri-Sun. My husband and I have a big fenced in yard and 2 friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company! We are firm believers in lots of walks, lots of playtime, and positive reinforcement. If needed, we can provide a crate as a safe space for your dog to lounge in. Our dogs are our children and we will treat your dog with the same love as we treat our own :)
