“Excellent service. Zach and his daughter were great with my dog Rex! Great setup with a tall fence and Rex loved playing with their dogs.This was a same day booking and they were able to accommodate us last minute and also the following day. I had only left my dog one day at a kennel his whole life so was nervous and within minutes knew I had made the correct choice with Zach and his home!”

About: My name is Holly. I have 1 chihuahua. I am an animal lover! I grew up on a farm, so I am familiar with care of many types of animals. I have never not had a dog in my life. I have a flexible schedue, own my own home, work remotely full-time , and am very dependable. When house sitting, i do prefer stays less than 4 days, but willing to consider longer stays. I will have to bring my 4 lb chihuahua with me to house sit, so your dog(s) would have to be good with other dogs. I'm looking forward to meeting and caring for your furry loved ones! Why I love dog sitting I have had at least 1 dog my whole life. I've had breeds ranging from Chihuahuas, to Boxers, to Bull Terriers. Dogs are a blessing and I love having them in my life. I will administer pills and liquid drops, but not shots. I work remotely, so I am fully available to your pet. I have a 15 year old chihuahua who is very chill. No children or anyone else in the house, so if your dog or cat needs a relaxing stay, I can provide that.

About: I’ve loved dogs my entire life, and now that I’m recently retired, I have the time to give them the attention, care, and companionship they deserve. I treat every dog like part of the family—whether we’re going for a walk, playing fetch, or just relaxing together. With a calm, patient nature and a flexible schedule, I can focus fully on your pet’s needs and routines. You can rest easy knowing they’ll be safe, happy, and loved like one of my own. I am recently retired and am available all of the time. I currently have two small dogs of my own and watching an additional dog would be no trouble at all. If you dog stays with me, they will be treated just like my own pet. I am able to walk them, feed them special diets, or administer oral medication. I am home almost all of the time and can give them the attention they need.

About: I've grown up with fuzzies and cared for them all. Tended and loved bunnies both big and small, pups young and old, cats timid and bold. Regardless of pet, I will treat 'em like gold. Loved on and spoiled they'll be sorry to go, I'll keep them quite cozy and you in the know. Caring for fur-babies requires love, understanding, and flexibility. Each pet comes with her own needs and personality. With three dogs (Diamond, Trish, and Dusty) and three cats (Joel, Joe, and Dom) in my care, I've had a little bit of practice in nourishing each individual purr-sonality. Once we get the schedules sorted, I'll be sure to give your loved one the same consideration and I think we'll get along just fine. That being said, I kindly ask that you be mindful of my time. When I reply to your initial message, I typically wait 4-24 hours for a response. If I don’t hear back within that window, I may archive the request. If you send me a booking request but aren't sure of the exact dates and times, I can hold your request for a few hours while you confirm the details. If the issue is not resolved within that time frame, the request may be archived. Hello, and thank you for meeting me here! If I'm at your house, your fur-baby will be let out every 4-8 hours unless otherwise needed. At least one daily walk is guaranteed (weather permitting) so your little one can catch up on all the neighborhood gossip; if there's a dog park nearby, I'll take him to meet up with his friends. If you'll provide me with your dog's dietary needs, medications, and routines; I'll do my best to make sure that he's feelin' just as fly as he would be if you were there. Now if your pup chooses to stay at my lovely establishment, I do have a questionnaire for all clients to ensure that every aspect of your pup’s care is covered. Among other things, I ask about your pup’s needs, medications, vaccinations, preferences, and routines. After the business part is sorted, I have for your pupper two yards; one for business, one for fun. My house has two floors; the first floor is all his. The rules are pretty chill. Pets are allowed on the furniture, food and water are freely available, tricks are rewarded with treats, and if he's a well-behaved gentle-pup, bedtime is kennel-free. However, if you have different boundaries set for your pet I'll be happy to ensure that your little one minds his manners during his stay. Oh, one more thing: I am the tug-o-war champion, though your dog is welcome to try and take my title.

“Catherine and Sean are very accommodating with sudden changes in my schedule. She sends regular updates and pictures about how my puppy is doing. She ensures my pup is mentally and physically stimulated. Weretlucky to use their services!”

About: Animals have always been part of my life, from Dalmatians and a Great Dane to a sassy pet chicken. I’ve cared for cats, dogs, and even had lovebirds at one point! I truly enjoy connecting with each pet’s unique personality. Working from home with a flexible schedule means I have lots of time to give your pets the care and attention they need, whenever you need help. Think of my home as your pet's fun, safe hangout! Working from home means endless cuddles and playtime, with trust and their well-being always my top priority.

“I was far from home and needed a very last minute dog sitter. I reached out to Tyler and he immediately responded and we set up a quick meet and greet, and you could tell Tyler has a special bond with animals. Tyler took great care of my sweet boy Rusty. He took him on extra walks and met Rusty’s special needs. If I lived closer I would definitely be a repeat customer! Thanks Tyler!!”

About: Services I provide: Doggy Day Care and Boarding for dogs 20 pounds and under. About me: Hi there! My name is Brittany, and I offer doggy daycare and boarding services for small dogs one year and over. I live in Munroe Falls with my husband and three dogs, Bella (9-year-old Cavachon) Zoey (10-year-old Pomchi), and Rosey (3-year-old Cavapoo Yorkie mix) I also have two teenagers who live here but go to stay with their other parents often. I grew up in a home with small dogs and have always loved and connected with them. Over the years, I have become the go-to pupsitter for my friend's and family’s dogs when they go out of town or are unavailable. I have also watched my Great Aunt's senior dog while she was in the hospital. Her little chihuahua only had a few teeth, so she ate special ground-up food. Special accommodations are no problem. I have always had difficulty finding someone I trust to watch my dogs. They are small and sweet. I hated the idea of traditional boarding because it felt so impersonal. I would worry about my dogs feeling uncomfortable, getting bullied by bigger dogs, or just getting lost in the mix. I decided to become exactly who I was looking for from a boarding perspective. Think of me more like your family member taking care of your dog and loving them like my own than a traditional dog boarder. What sets me apart from other pupsitters: I only take one client’s dog(s) at a time so there is no need to worry about a bunch of other dogs being at my house during your dogs’ stay. As for my dogs, they are calm and sweet, and your dog will have the opportunity to meet them during a meet and greet to make sure they are all comfortable. My dogs get along well with small dogs with low to medium energy. For the most part, they are lap dogs who just want to cuddle and be loved on, my fav! I work from home so I will be with your pup all day long. My husband gets laid off in the winter, so we are both here. We can let your pup outside to go potty often like most small dogs need. We have a large fenced in backyard that dogs seem to appreciate exploring. I go outside with them so that they are never alone. The house has plenty of space to roam around but they usually prefer to be by my side. We allow dogs on the furniture and in bed and wouldn’t have it any other way. My meet and greets: I start off the meet and greet at the park behind my house. This is a great time for us to meet in a public place for safety. I will address you first and talk with you before addressing the dog. It’s important to me that they see me as someone who is not a threat to their owner. From there, we will walk over to my house where I will bring my dogs outside to let them meet is a neutral place. Then we go inside and let the dogs all roam freely. I will show you around and ask lots of questions about your dog’s routines and preferences. It’s important to me that my home is their home away from home, so I copy the routine you have with your dog. You will also have plenty of time to ask me questions as well so that you can feel comfortable. You are under no obligation to book with me. It’s important that we all feel it is the right fit.

“Pat was amazing with our dog Lucy. Our daycare had to go over until the morning due to getting home super late and she was very accommodating. Lucy had a blast playing with a new friend! We will definitely be back. Thank you!”

About: We have been pet owners for many years now and have had different breeds and sizes. We will care for your pet like our own! We do have one dog, Diesel, in the house and he is really good with other dogs. We will walk your dog around our neighbor hood and if it’s okay with you taking them to the dog park that is just a short drive away. We will send pictures at least daily and keep you up to date with how your animal is doing. :) I currently work from home right now so I am home and able to take your pet out , play with it, take it for walks and just give it attention that it probably wants while it’s missing you . Prefer small to medium dogs as we already have a medium sized dog. We ask that you bring a crate for your dog we will crate them at night for their safety as safety is of utmost priority to us. While our dog is super friendly, we won’t take any chances. We also ask that your animal is up to date on their shots and has a flea preventative treatment.

We welcome meet & greets prior to committing to a long term stay.
