“They had a great time with Ava. Lots of photos of doggies playing and happy. The cat looked relaxed and chill. We will 100% use her again if we're traveling. Our babies were so well cared for.”

“Ebony did a great job watching my 11 mo. old puppy over the weekend. She stayed and left the house spotless. She also communicated very well when my puppy had an issue with her harness (puppy was nervous about someone new) and was open about what was going on. Puppy was in good hands and I could relax on vacation. I would highly recommend using Ebony for an overnight stay!”


About: Hi, I have had Pets all my life and can’t remember a day without them. I have 1 cat & 2 dogs. My dogs are getting older and can’t go on too many walks a week. So, I would love to add some more walking buddies to my life & your four legged friends would be perfect for the task! Animals have always had a special place in my ❤️ & I would love to help you with yours! I have never met a dog who didn’t melt my heart. Please contact me if I can be of assistance to you! I am available most days. Please contact me if you are looking for a dog walker. Have a great day! Thanks so much! 🐶🐶❤️🐶🐶
“Kylie was a wonderful doggie sitter. My babies loved her and I know they were taken care of very well. She did all of the extras which I hadn’t expected. We cannot wait to have her here again. :)”

“August was wonderful with my fur baby and my home. It was so much easier to just leave and go on vacation instead of packing my dog up with all her stuff and trying to pick her up. I think it was less stressful for both of us. I definitely will be using August in the future.”


“Kristen did a fantastic job with our two dogs while we were out of town for 5 days! She was very responsive to communication the entire time. We didn’t return to any accidents or messes we had to clean up which for us is a blessing as one of our dogs tends to have some potty issues when we are gone for an extended period. Usually our dogs are super excited to see us when we return- this time I think they were disappointed to see us and not to see Kristen!! Would definitely rebook ☺️”

“Octavia is great! She is very reliable, and we are happy to come home to well-cared for pets and home. She sends updates and pictures to let me know all is OK. Truly appreciate her service and care for our dog and cat.”

“Joe was so great. The dogs loved him. He was punctual, friendly and kept me updated. I was really able to enjoy my vacation knowing the dogs were in good hands. When I came home my house was tidy and he was very considerate during his stay here. I could tell the dogs were in good spirits. Joe spent a lot of time with them. Super grateful. Thank you Joe. I would highly recommend him to watch your fur babies”
“James is the best!! He has taken care of my reactive, anxious, senior pup and my senior cat many times. I can comfortable travel internationally for over a week without any worries. My pets love James so much and he’s an amazing house guest. Can’t recommend him highly enough!”

About: I have been a pet owner for about four years now and truly have a passion for taking care of dogs and giving them freedom to have fun and be themselves. I work at night time so usually when I get up in the day, I have the most energy and that’s when I’m totally available for the time and attention for the love of dogs. I have a closed in gated fence, which allows the pets to have access to roam around handedly at Will I have a true passion for taking care of dogs.
About: I have grown up with and taken care of animals roughly my whole life! Having two cats and two dogs makes caring for animals a daily routine for me. I am also great with caring for kittens and puppies as I have raised all four of my animals since they were little. I have also cared for my own dog’s litter! I’m currently a full time student at the University of Akron & have a ton of time during the summer and holiday seasons to care for any type of animal as needed. I have crate training experience and will be able to crate your pet if needed. I am able to easily adapt to any other security measures as needed.
“Shermont'e was very respectable and patient with our dogs, (our dogs can be shy meeting new people). He constantly gave us updates on how they were doing, and that our most shy dog warmed up to him by the end of his stay! 10/10 would recommend!!”

“Dana has been caring for my two golden retriever puppies for a few months now. She typically overnights with them. Dana’s constant communication and updates have habitually put my mind at ease. My pups love her! Thank you Dana!!!”

Danielle is an amazing dog sitter. Our dog is so excited when she comes. We enjoy our vacations rest assured she is taking great care of Huckleberry. She sends us updates and pictures to keep us informed on how he is doing. We highly recommend her as a dog sitter. She very trust worthy and responsible.
Brittany is so great! She has watched our pups a few times now and we always come back to very happy boys. She is responsive, always on time, and leaves the house so perfect and clean. She even offered to come back when my flight was delayed coming home. I highly recommend using her for your future stays!

Alivia was extremely responsive and responsible. She took wonderful care of Anakin, giving him lots of exercise and cuddles. She also took wonderful care of our home. She sent regular updates and photos and responded to any questions promptly. Our house was immaculate upon our return, and she even stripped her bed, washed the sheets and replaced them before we arrived home. Highly recommend Alivia and hope to have her stay again.
