Pet Boarding Middleburg Heights

“Rosie had a wonderful time at Abby’s house. We got updates throughout the week on how she was doing. She normally takes a day or two to fall back into her routines after we drop her off - not so with Abby! And we decided to pick her up a day earlier than planned, and Abby helped us out by dropping her off. Looking forward to using Abby’s services again!”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for both cats and dogs. I grew up around cats and have been a dog owner myself for the past 5 years, in addition to regularly caring for friends’ dogs. I work a 9–5 job from home, which means your pet gets plenty of company throughout the day rather than being left alone for hours. I’m also able to take dogs on an extended walk during my lunch break, so they can get some exercise, fresh air, and attention in the middle of the day. Whether your pet needs a long walk, some playtime, a cozy companion while you’re away, or just a little extra TLC, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. I’m dependable, attentive, and happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and preferences. Most importantly, I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets in someone else’s care. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for! My weekly routine is pretty consistent, which is great for dogs who love having a predictable schedule! Every workday I start each morning with a trip to the gym, then come home and take the pups on a nice, extended walk through the Metroparks near my house. Once we’re home, I settle into work for a few hours while the dogs get some downtime. I have a fenced-in yard, so I like to let them out regularly throughout the morning to stretch their legs, sniff around, and get some fresh air. Lunchtime means another extended walk! It’s a great way to break up the workday and give everyone a chance to burn off some energy. Afterward, my own dog usually settles in for a well-earned afternoon nap while I finish up work. Once the workday wraps up, we usually head outside for one more walk before settling in for the evening. If everyone’s feeling a little less energetic, we’ll skip the walk and have some backyard fun instead, such as fetch, tug-of-war, or just general goofing around. Basically, your pup can expect plenty of exercise, fresh air, playtime, and company throughout the day, with lots of opportunities to relax and recharge too. As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to feel confident that your dog is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. My goal is to provide a comfortable, low-stress home environment where pups can feel like part of the family. I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely get outside for fresh air and playtime, along with plenty of opportunities for walks and exercise throughout the day. Since I work from home, I’m also around to keep an eye on things and make sure everyone is doing well. For daycare and boarding, I’m happy to follow your dog’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, medications, walks, crate time, and any other preferences or house rules you provide. I’ll also make sure dogs have time to relax and nap when they need a break from all the excitement. When introducing dogs to my home, I prioritize compatibility and a gradual introduction so everyone feels comfortable. I want every pup staying with me to feel safe, supervised, and genuinely at home, not like they’re being dropped off somewhere unfamiliar.

“First time using Rover & leaving our precious pup with someone else. We are so glad we found Carey! She helped us feel at ease and sent lots of updates & pictures! Her dog is very sweet & the 2 of them got along without issues. He was well cared for & loved. He also got a lot of exercise! So much better than being locked up in a kennel! We hope she can watch him many more times in the future!”

“Absolutely genuine and even accommodating and understanding with difficult travel plans. Felt safe having my 4 legged family with her. Thank you so much again.”

Blaine G.

“Kristine took excellent care of our old gal. She gave her the attention she needed, made sure she had her meds and carefully introduced her to the other dog. Her daughter was also very sweet to Tinkerbell. We will definitely use Kristine again!”

Kim G.

“Alex and his girlfriend were SO sweet to our 10 month old golden retriever. Not everyone could handle that level of energy but he made sure to provide our pup with tons of outside time and sent us daily updates throughout our trip. Amazing experience, will definitely be booking with him in the future!”

Elisha V.

“Alma and her husband treated Summer like a princess! She was given nice walks, nutrition and plenty of pictures were sent to keep us updated.”

Mindy H.

“Desire and her daughter were fantastic! My first time using Rover, it was a week vacation, so needless to say I was a bit nervous. They couldn't have been better. I received regular updates, and Higgins was happy and healthy. Seems it was a good vacation for both of us.”

Geoff H.

“My dog loves Emma, he was well cared for and I got lots of pictures to show how he was doing during my travels, it made me feel very happy and satisfied. She really takes the time to care and it shows because my dog is very happy.”

Nicole Y. C.

“Pam and Marshall have watched Xaden a few times, most recently for 2 weeks and he’s loved it! He’s made a ton of new friends and is very well socialised with them! They are great and send lots of photo and video updates so I know he’s having a great time! Highly recommend and Xaden will definitely be back!”

Olivia J.

“Jenni is FANTASTIC and our dog Charlie fell in love with her and her family. She is caring, kind and was very attentive to our dog. We highly recommend Jenni.”

Cindy M.

“Devon was fantastic. Very attentive and loving and made Hazel feel right at home. She sent pics and Hazel seemed very relaxed. I would highly recommend her.”

Lisa D.

“If you’re looking for someone to treat your dog as nice (if not better) than you do, well Debbra is that person! She treated Biscuit like he was her own dog. She kept him on his same schedule and provided him with the long daily walks he is used to. I could tell from the pictures she provided that Biscuit was comfortable and relaxed. He was so happy when I picked him up. Debbra is truly a dog lover and I will be using her services again!”

Jeanette S.

“Susan and Kenny were so great with our 6 month old puppy. I was a little nervous about leaving him for the first time, but Susan kept me updated each day with photos and how he was doing. She made me feel at ease knowing he was having fun with them and playing with the other dogs. I don’t think he wanted to leave when he got picked up! I know that he was in a very loving home while I was out of town, and that’s everything I can ask for! Definitely recommend and will be staying with Susan again.”

Brooke W.

“Takia to the rescue, i didn’t want to leave my Dog home for the Christmas Holiday and found out that she was available. I was so happy that my furbaby was able to stay with her where he receives lots of love. I always appreciate her services 💙”

Luvin L.

“Shannon took really good care of my service dog Ruby while I was away. She was giving me updates everyday and sending me photos of Ruby. Shannon is my go to whenever I need a dog sitter. Thank you so much!”

About: I grew up around dogs. My family had a dog my entire life and I've cared for my friends and sister's dogs. My dog recently passed, and I am open to helping care for others dogs! I'm currently in grad school, so my schedule is relatively flexible. I only have class a couple days a week and am home every other day. I will follow any directions given to me in order to provide the best care to your dog. I do not have a yard of my own, but I live close to many parks where dogs are always out walking.

“Really appreciate Lori taking good care of Max. Lori is very friendly and excellent at communicating regular updates and photos. Thank you,Lori.”

Prab D.

“I had Ron watch my 2 small dogs. My one dog is very scared and doesn’t like to go for walks. He has a fenced in backyard that was perfect for my dogs. He was also very calm with my dogs which helped my scared dog feel comfortable. He is flexible with times and communicates timely. He had a big dog bed and some toys and treats in his home.”

Jessica A.

“They took amazing care of our dog. I have never seen him so happy. They sent photos every day and kept us in the loop of what was going on all week. Communication was fantastic. Would highly recommend booking them to watch your dog.”
