Dog Sitting in Kent

“Mary took great care of my 2 boys (German shepherd & Australian Shepherd)! She was in contact with us the entire time and very responsive. I would highly recommend her and plan to use her in the future.”

About: I've been around various breeds of dogs for as long as I can remember. During my time volunteering at Paws and Prayers Animal Rescue, I've handled as little as the Chihuahua to as large as the Great Dane! I am currently working part-time, so my schedule is typically pretty open most of the time. I am always open to meet your pups! Big and small! I have handled pups both big and small! Whatever challenge your dog throws at me, I can take it! I am able to crate dogs when necessary.

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!

“Alyssa was a life saver! Our son was graduating BMT from the Air Force in Texas and we had no one to let out or dog or take care of our kitties. She did a wonderful job and we will use her again.”

About: Ever since I was a baby, I have grown up around all sorts of animals, especially dogs. I am familiar with all sorts of breeds of all different ages and sizes. Now, I currently have 1 dog and 3 cats, which I have raised all from babies. I am huge on communication and making sure everyone feels comfortable, therefore you will be given utmost communication from me. I live in an apartment, so walks are a big thing I do for exercise everyday and multiple times a day, as well as bathroom breaks every couple hours. I am a college student with a very slim schedule, making me available just about whenever, and I am home most days, all day. If running an errand, I either try to take my dog with me for a ride, or make it as fast as possible. I live in an apartment, so walks are a big thing I do for exercise everyday and multiple times a day, as well as bathroom breaks every couple hours. I am huge on communication and making sure everyone feels comfortable, therefore you will be given utmost communication from me. In addition to communication, routine is also very important to me, as well as all animals, so I will do my best to accommodate any routine given to me. I look forward to getting to know you and your pets, and to offer a fun and relaxed home while you are away!

“As always, Jennifer did a wonderful job taking care of our cat with extra medical needs. I really appreciate that she cares for our pet and our home while we’re away on vacation. I always feel confident that Dexter will be in good hands when she’s there and am reassured by her very detailed updates with each visit. I look forward to working with her again in the future!”

“Vanessa was wonderful with our beloved pups! She genuinely treated them as if they were her own! As dog owners, it’s important to watch how your dog(s) react to a caregiver! Our pups were very comfortable and happy with Vanessa. She is extremely conscientious, very communicative and trustworthy! We enjoy having Vanessa care for our pups! We are excited that she enjoys caring for our boys and highly recommend her!”

“Just looked at all of the pictures Marissa shared from the drop in. T looks very happy and like he’s very comfortable with her. The drop in worked out very well and I hope to use Rover more often for peace of mind when I have to leave my boy.”

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.

About: I treat every pet like my own—with love, patience, and respect. What sets me apart is my experience with a wide range of pets, from high-energy puppies to sweet senior dogs who need a slower pace and extra care. I’m comfortable administering medication, handling dogs with special dietary or mobility needs, and maintaining consistent training routines if needed. Whether it’s a long walk, a quiet cuddle, or playtime in the yard, I tailor every visit to your pet’s needs. I also provide regular photo updates so you can feel connected and worry-free while you're away. Your pet’s happiness and safety are always my top priorities! I have recently decided to challenge myself to make a living from side hustles rather than a corporate job. This means I have plenty of time and availability for any of your needs! I care for your pets the same way I care for my own. At the end of the day, our pets are our babies! In your home, I stick closely to your pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and rest—keeping things familiar to reduce stress. I respect your space, follow all instructions carefully, and make sure your pet gets one-on-one attention and care.

About: With years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages and personalities, I offer more than just basic pet sitting—I provide reliable, loving, and structured care tailored to each pup's needs. I’ve stayed in clients' homes for extended periods, managing full-time routines while they vacationed stress-free. From daily walks, feedings, and baths to morning and evening care rituals, I treat every dog like family. I’ve also helped with basic training, reinforcing positive behavior while gently correcting unwanted habits. My goal is always to create a happy, safe, and loving environment—where your dog feels at home, and you feel confident they’re in great hands. I’m currently in the exciting phase of starting my own business, which means I’m not tied to a full-time job and have a very flexible schedule. This allows me to give your dog the time, attention, and consistent care they deserve—whether it’s daily walks, extended stays, or last-minute needs. I'm here when you need me! I care for pets exclusively in my clients’ homes, which helps keep the dogs comfortable and relaxed in a familiar environment. I take time to build trust with each dog so they feel safe, loved, and at ease while their owners are away. I stick closely to their usual routines—walks, meals, playtime, and any specific care instructions—so they experience consistency and comfort. My goal is to make my presence a positive and calming one, so your dog feels secure and well-cared for every step of the way.

About: Hi, I’m Maia! I’m a college student and lifelong animal lover with over three years of experience caring for pets of all sizes and personalities. Whether it’s walking a high energy pup, spending quiet time with a senior cat, or making sure your pets feel safe and loved while you’re away, I treat every animal like I would my own. I spend a lot of time at my local animal shelter socializing with cats and dogs, giving them attention, and I’ve cared for rescues and pets from all backgrounds. I genuinely love bonding with every animal I meet. I’m calm under pressure, reliable, and always happy to send updates and photos during your time away. I’d love to meet your furry friend! I’m currently balancing a part-time retail job and a new restaurant job, so my schedule varies a bit. I’m always off on Tuesdays and consistently unavailable Monday and Wednesday evenings, but I’m free on those days before 3pm. I work dinner and sometimes lunch shifts Thursday through Sunday, but I’ll have a better idea of my hours each week and can usually plan ahead. I’m happy to work with you on scheduling and will always be upfront about my availability. Weekend requests are definitely possible with a little notice! When caring for pets in their own home, I make sure to follow any routines or rules provided by the owner to keep your fur baby comfortable and safe. It’s important to be attentive, gentle, and always keep an eye out on walks to avoid any hazards or distractions. Your pet’s well-being is my top priority.

“Carson handled some drop-in visits over a few days to tend to my cat while I was traveling. He easily understood the needs and preferences for caretaking. Carson was courteous, prompt, and efficient. He fed and cleaned up after my cat while being proactively communicative. Great experience!”
