Sarah is very professional and thorough! She took notes about all of my puppy’s preferences and made sure to follow up with me throughout her stay. My dog got lots of love, care, and play with Sarah!

Kathleen and Nathan took excellent care of our dog. We were passing through the area on our way home from the east coast and needed a place for Dilly to get some exercise and play before we continued our trip. Dilly enjoyed playing in their large, fenced yard and had fun playing with their kids. We couldn't have asked for anything more. Dilly was happy and relaxed and ready to go the next day.

Jessica kept our dog Leif while we were on vacation and made him so comfortable. She was very responsive and sent us regular updates with pictures and videos to make us feel comfortable! She also did drop in visits with our cats and was great to work with.

About: I have been watching pups for around 4 years and am good with being patient and making the pup feel comfortable around me as well as having fun. I am a full time student and go to class four times a week with studio time on the weekend but after class this would be really good for me to be able to take breaks and use this time to make some extra money. When I take care of a pup I feed them, take them outside, and play with them. I also am big on making the dog comfortable and feel safe with me.

Jenna did an incredible job taking care of my little guy while I was away on vacation. She kept in touch throughout the time I was away and having pictures sent to me was definitely a plus! I have already recommended her to a friend of mine and will definitely use her again when I need someone to watch my dog!

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.

Susan was great taking care of our little Annie! Annie wouldn't eat her regular food so Susan made some "home cooking" food and Annie ate it all up! Thanks! Annie enjoyed her regular walks by Susan and had a great time playing with other puppies. We were updated daily with pictures and comments on how Annie was doing, that was greatly appreciated! We like to thank Susan & her husband for making Annie feel comfortable when she had some anxiety of not being with us. Definitely would have Susan take care of Annie in the futures. Thanks again, Pha & Bruce

About: All K9 Solutions is fully insured and licensed here in Akron OH. I've been training dogs for 6 years and professionally for 4 years. After I worked for reputable training companies, one here in Akron area as the head trainer, I decided to open my own company called All K9 Solutions. I grew up with dogs, and have experience with cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, horses, chickens, and ducks as I used to manage a farm as well. I personally network all over the US with other dog trainers. One of my recent travels has been to Kansas to help host a working dog workshop with a few small departments. I have two Belgian malinois who I strive for their needs to be met daily. From mental stimulation to physical stimulation while giving them a “job”. My youngest is 3 years old and does many sports (PSA, AKC sports, and has been dabbling in odor work), and my oldest is 10, he’s a retired military explosives K9 who served on the boarder of Jordan up until 7 years old. Both the sweetest dogs you’ll ever meet. All of my dogs have off leash obedience training that is kept up with. I have a background in dog training, boarding, and daycare; from puppies all the way to seniors. I strive for knowledge with dogs as there’s always new information to learn and dogs aren’t cookie cutter. I’m also an STSK9 MVP student for advanced obedience. I’m very passionate about teaching others about dogs from genetics and breeds to how their psychology works. My business hours run from 7am-10pm. My availability is open from the afternoon to night time, this way all morning routines are completed, walks, potty breaks, feeding, training sessions etc. All dogs are boarded in a home environment instead of a facility. This way your dogs aren’t as stressed being away from you, and they can comfortably enjoy their vacation too. All dogs are kenneled to ensure safety (not investing anything they shouldn’t, no free roam 24/7 with other client’s dogs you don’t know, and they have their own space to decompress). Since the yard isn't fenced in, all dogs must be leashed with a properly fitted collar with a longline when going outside, a harness, or a slip lead. However, a good peaceful walk with all the smells is always more mental and physical stimulation for the dogs than a fenced in area with limited access. Reactive dogs and fearful dogs are welcome as I have years of experience with them, and training them to grow confidence and obedience. I also have experience with special need's animals. Loud dogs are welcome too. If your dog(s) show healthy body language and do well with other dogs, my two malinois are gentle beings and always love a play mate. Minka especially, she follows the other dog's pace and reads their body language. I do ask that you leave your vet information with me and emergency vet information as well for an emergency contact if ever need be. Better safe than sorry. I also do ask for a second choice of contact incase the primary owner is unable to be reached. All dogs must be up to date on vaccines and bordetella for boarding and daycare. Safety precautions are always taken. For the well being of the dogs and myself. Please note that I do require all important behaviors are made aware of by the owners before hand and I will notify owners upon any concern of sickness or bite risks. I send updates each day as well or will add photos to your rover card.

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I’ve been 10 years old. I love taking them on walks and playing with them outside. I have experience with cats and dogs alike. I have a pretty open schedule. I have a job at a restaurant but usually get around 2-3 shifts a week and work 4-9 during the week days and 9:30-3:30 on the weekends. I get my schedule 2 weeks in advance I have a huge yard with a pool. We love to play with our dog in the pool and ley her run around all the time. We feed her twice and day and take her outside and much as we can so she can sprint around the yard and go exploring. Our cat lives outside but we feed him twice a day and when shi get comes he comes inside to hang out with us.

Paula and Bill (and Marty!) were absolutely wonderful. When another solution fell through at the last minute, they quickly stepped in to care for Loki during a family event with very short notice. Their warm and caring personalities put me completely at ease, and their home is lovely and welcoming. The attention to detail they showed in caring for him was exactly what I needed during a stressful time. They turned what could have been a difficult situation into an absolute relief. Highly recommend! Thank you!

It’s so comforting to know that your fur baby is in good hands when you go out of town. Wendy is wonderful! She ensured Lu’s stay was seamless. Outside of the love and care she provided, Lu got walks everyday (sometimes multiple)! Thank you Wendy!

Mark and Vicky gave 100% in caring for our 1 year old Cavapoo- Kayleigh. They have a safe, fenced in yard, and always stayed with her when she was outside. She napped on their laps, and slept on the ottoman at the foot of their bed. She really enjoyed playing with the other dogs there. They sent updates and pictures twice a day, so I knew Kayleigh was happy! A perfect place for our dog while we were out of town. I highly recommend them and will be booking there again!
