“Dave was fantastic! He was quick to respond from my initial inquiry. The meet and greet was a success as I could tell my pup loved him right away. Dave was communicative, on time, and followed all instructions. He was tidy and respectful of my home. I felt so at ease knowing my puppy was in good hands and having fun and the photos showing how happy Corbin was were the highlight of my day. Thank you Dave for being so wonderful and taking such great care of Corbin. I know he'll miss you. Hope to book with you again and will absolutely suggest you to friends and family!”

About: I’ve had a passion for caring for animals since I was a child. I have 25+ years experience ranging from dog walking to in-home boarding. I have two dogs of my own. I am also well-experienced with senior dogs and bring a very calm demeanor. I am currently taking a break from corporate life and have flexible availability! I am typically available any time M-F, though occasionally I travel on weekends. I have a fully fenced in yard with two dogs at home. My dogs are social and love meeting new friends! I know that it can be unsettling for a dog to stay in someone else’s home, but we’re pros at welcoming others into our pack!

“Keerie did a great job taking care of our 2 cats when we were gone! She gave them lots of love and made sure they had plenty of food and water. Great communication and lots of cute pictures! We would definitely use her again.”

About: I have been taking care of dogs most of my life. I am 57. I have done dog training and agility with 2 of our dogs. I have had a puppy and dealt with Senior dogs too. I love to give our dog lots of attention with play time, walking and outdoor activities. I love to take walks and go to other parks too. With the owner's permission, I love to go to the dog park-Bow Wow dog park and the Akron Dog Park. I give your furry one lots of attention with play time-throwing toys-playing fetch with a ball or toy. Letting them have backyard time. We have a fenced in back yard for the dogs to be free. I also will brush your dog and pet them and give them attention, while you are away. I will treat your dog like he/she is my own dog. Another place I will take dogs is Petsmart or Pet Supplies Plus for social interaction and exercise. I am at home and available most days. We have a 20 year-old Son, who also loves dogs! My Husband helps out too, with walks and letting the dogs out in our backyard and is a dog person. Currently, I am not working. I have a knee problem and some medical issues that prevent me from working full time. I have plenty of time to take care of your dog. We love to take walks and go to the dog parks. However, if you prefer your dog not to go to the dog park, that is fine. We could go on walks and let your dog go outside in our backyard. We have lots of dog toys, bones, balls, etc... I do have a walk thru pet gate that I set up to block off the kitchen and dining room area. We will feed our dog and your dog separately in separate rooms. I love to brush and pet dogs. If needed, we could bath your dog too. We are a "dog" type family, that is our preference. We have had fish, hamsters and also a guinea pig in the past. I grew up with a cat in our home, as a child. We will throw ball and toys for the dogs and play with your dog. We have a small crate that is in our garage, however we don't usually use the crate. If we leave the home, depending on the situation, if your dog is destructive or chewing on furniture or other items, then we will crate your dog when we leave for church or a short errand. If you have a calm dog and the dog is not destructive and well mannered, then your dog could stay in the family room area, unless you prefer that your dog is in his crate. We will use 2 dog gates near our steps to go upstairs. We prefer that our dog and other dogs do not go upstairs. As a House Sitter, I would do any needed cleaning up of any messes I make. I would be bringing my own food, as I am gluten free and dairy free. The only thing I would need is some freezer and frigerated space for my food. I would follow your normal routine for your dog or dogs. I do have occasional Dr and therapy appointments, fyi. We have a home in Akron, with a fence in our backyard. We live near a forest, it is a quiet area. We have a small neighborhood, where the street dead ends to a forest. We don't get drive thru traffic, that use our area as a "short cut".

About: My husband and I have owned dogs and cats our whole lives and I have been taking care of other people’s pets since I was in high school and have experience with cats and dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. My goal is to provide dependable care and regular updates so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. My husband and I are both approved rover pet care takers so one or both of us may be the one to help! I’m a stay at home mom with a husband who works remote so I’m very flexible! This allows me to provide consistent care, frequent potty breaks, walks, and lots of attention throughout the day. Your pet will receive plenty of supervision and companionship while in my care. We are always happy with last minute bookings, so feel free to reach out! Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow each pet's routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any special instructions provided. I always keep pets supervised, ensure doors and gates are secure, and pay close attention during walks and outdoor time. I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for while you're away.

About: I’ve been caring for animals my whole life. At the age of ten I made a neighborhood business of walking and bathing dogs. Mainly puppies for the elderly in the neighborhood. I mainly have cared for dogs with anxiety and PTSD. My first experience with PTSD in animals was my Louie. He was a rescue from a Korean meat market. At first it was hard but it’s all about attention to detail and patience. Everyday it makes me soooo happy that he trusts me, that when I walk in the door he’s happy and jumps on me and we always run to the couch to cuddle. And just seeing him traumatized to what he is now makes my heart happy. I’m currently working 7-330 rotating weekends so I will always be available after 330. And every other weekends along with my two days off during the week. I ensure that they are well fed and have clean water. Make sure they are able to use the bathroom without having to wait a long time. Additionally I make sure the bathroom facilities are clean because they deserve the best respect we do. I give ample affection and attention to ensure they will never be lonely, keeping in mind when they are stressed and anxious by paying attention to behavioral signs.

About: I've had dogs my entire life. I've been the go to pet sitter for my friends for years now and current take care of 4 sets of animals when their owners are away. I do everything from the basic drop-ins to staying in house with them for extended amounts of time. I clean up after everything and make sure to leave a place better than I found it when you arrive back home. I work 4 days a week in 7(ish) hour shifts, usually 3-10pm. I am up most mornings by 9 and do my best to keep up with the normal routines of the pets I watch. I want to give your pets all the love and company they are used to while you're away. I follow all instructions to the best of my ability and will be around for them as much as I can when not at work.

About: I am and have been vegan since I was a child. I’ve always had a deep love for and towards animals ever since I can remember. I like to be in animals energy and presence. Even when giving “care” it’s enjoyable and pleasing for me to offer that for your pets. I bring a calm and peaceful vibe to any situation. I want to be a safe and comfortable space for your animals. ~ If you book the house sitting option, I am only available to sit throughout the day. No sleepovers. I currently am a part time student studying vet tech with a fine arts minor! I have a great amount of free time and flexible schedule to accommodate “different” jobs and care. I live in an apartment with 3 cats. I don’t have any closed off areas at the moment and my cats free roam around the house.

“Mary did an amazing job!!! This was my first time leaving my baby behind for four days, I was nervous, but Mary did such a good job at staying in touch and providing all the necessary details that my girl was doing well. Really appreciate her attentiveness and care for my dog.”

Sofia N.

“My dogs took to William/were extremely at ease with him immediately - he has calming mojo 😉 He is very responsive, very punctual with his visits, and thorough with his visit reports .... and also is very conscientious and goes above and beyond - bringing in the mail and tidying up around the house if he sees something that needs attention! I would certainly recommend William to anyone needing someone to care for their furbabies!”

About: I stand out as a dog walker by providing a level of care that goes beyond a standard walk, focusing on reliability, communication, and personalized attention for every dog. I tailor each walk to fit the dog’s energy level, age, and temperament, while keeping owners informed with updates and photos so they feel confident and at ease. I take pride in being punctual, dependable, and attentive to each pet’s unique needs, whether that means a high-energy outing or a calm, gentle stroll. I also bring a professional yet friendly approach, building trust with both pets and their owners. By combining consistency, thoughtful extras, and genuine care, I create a positive experience that keeps both dogs happy and owners coming back. Dog walking fits naturally into my daily routine, as I already prioritize getting outside for exercise and fresh air. I’m an outdoor enthusiast who enjoys walking regularly, and having a dog as a companion makes it even more enjoyable and rewarding. I’m available after 6:00 PM Monday through Friday, as well as anytime on weekends, which allows me to provide consistent and flexible care for pet owners with busy schedules. This routine not only benefits me but ensures dogs get the attention, activity, and companionship they need on a regular basis. I would be a trustworthy dog walker because I prioritize the safety, well-being, and happiness of every pet in my care. I am reliable, punctual, and communicate clearly with owners, keeping them informed about their dog’s activities and any concerns. My experience as an outdoor enthusiast means I’m comfortable handling dogs of different energy levels and temperaments in a variety of environments. I treat each dog as an individual, providing consistent attention and care, and I take responsibility seriously, ensuring every walk is safe, enjoyable, and stress-free. Owners can have confidence knowing their pets are in capable, attentive hands.
