“Monica takes excellent care of our kitty, providing companionship and play in addition to necessary care. We have found her to be honest, trustworthy, and reliable, and will not hesitate to use her services in the future.”

Susan Y.

“Dee is absolutely fantastic! I am so grateful for her intuitive, empathetic care for our two cats. We’re not used to going away so I had more concerns with how the cats would handle it. When we returned the cats greeted us at the door like normal! Getting daily photos helped make being away easier. Dee is a great thoughtful communicator. I am so grateful she offers her expertise to care for all our lovable critters.”

“Tyler and Tara were amazing! This was the first time leaving our girls this long but they took such wonderful care of them and gave them all the love that they needed. 1000% recommend them for watching your fur babies. We will definitely be booking them for future trips.”

Bianka C.

“Keerie was great! She had excellent communication. I had her stop by twice to check in on our 3 month old puppies. I appreciated that she sent pictures each time she sent updates. She followed instructions well especially considering the puppies needed extra care instructions since they are still training.”

Samantha S.

“Highly recommend Katie! She is so warm and friendly! I trust her completely and will definitely have her watch Mitten again. Mitten has a new favorite friend!”

Amy J.

“Highly recommend! Alyssa did an absolute wonderful job watching my cats while I was away. She was incredibly attentive, kept me updated with great communication, and made sure everything was perfectly taken care of. If you are looking for a reliable, sweet, and trustworthy sitter, look no further…five stars all the way!!”

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".

“Marie has been super sweet and patient with my nervous pup! It’s been incredibly helpful to have some extra support when we will be away for longer than usual during the day.”

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!

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.

“Maria was great! Maria watched our cats Oliver and Benny for about a week while my family and I went on vacation. We had no issues at all and the cats seemed very content when we got home. I’d recommend Maria as a pet sitter for others.”

“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!”

Ashley M.

“Taylor was so great with my Cleo! She was available on short notice and was willing to meet us prior to going away for a few days. I was really worried how Cleo would react, he is an older dog and protective, but she handled him so very well! Thank so much Taylor! I will be reaching out again!”

Jennifer G.

“Brittany was awesome. We have an almost 5 month old puppy, so it takes a special person to handle his energy and antics! She was wonderful, and we are so thankful that she was able to help us out and care for our little guy!!”

Anna G.

“Julie was great! She was very patient and caring with my very shy and nervous cat. She took extra care to make sure he was as comfortable as he could be in order to receive medication he needs. She was also very communicative, meet with me multiple times to ensure I felt comfortable. Highly recommend and plan on using in the future!!”

About: Im a genuine dog lover! I have had dogs growing up and currently have a 1 year old rottweiler who is just the sweetest boy. I also have amazing doggy co-workers that range from the ages 2-13! So its only natural I love dogs more than humans. I can help with potty training, and if you are working on tricks I can continue that for you while gone to give your pet consistency. During the week I am available Mon-Fri after 330 pm and have open availability Sat-Sun. I am a very flexible person and can possibly work something out that would be best for your pet needs. I am a very trustworthy, responsible, and dependable. You will be able to take off and trust that your fur family will receive all the hugs kisses and belly rubs. I also welcome any questions and concerns and I am willing to provide as much communication and cute pictures to help you feel more comfortable!

“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!”
