Pet Boarding in North Ridgeville

About: I got my first puppy for my 10th birthday. She was entirely my responsibility. I fed, bathed, and trained her. She was a huge white shepherd and the sweetest thing on paws I still miss her. Since then, I’ve had many, many dogs and cats through the years. I’ve been through dog training school several times. I currently have three full-sized Goldendoodles who are reasonably well trained, although they are still way too friendly. I’m retired and available about any day except Sunday afternoons: noon church service. I get my groceries delivered, so I’m here most of the time. I try to walk one of mine every day, weather permitting. I would walk your pup before I walk mine. I also have a fenced-in back yard where the dog run and play. My house is dog friendly, and I’m not overly concerned with dirt. I also have the world’s best vacuum cleaner to deal with it and all the hair. lol I have a large fenced-in back yard with river rock instead of grass, so mud is not a problem. My three friendly Doodles love racing around, especially in the snow, and they would love to add your dog to the fun. At the end of the day, we all go upstairs and sleep in my room with a baby-gate blocking the door, so there is no house roaming overnight. I also have room for crates if that’s what your dog needs to feel comfortable. I have one cat who is comfortable around dogs and knows where to hide if necessary. Please have your dog be familiar with cats or at least won’t attack her if she tries to make friends. I can accommodate special diets and know how to use a pill gun for medications.

“This was Rue’s second time staying with Joylyn and we only have positive things to say about our experience. Rue felt so much more comfortable this time. You can really see how much Joylyn cares for our dog with her updates and interactions. We plan to continue to use her in the future.”

“We had been booked for a longer stay but plans changed due to illness - Sharon was so gracious & let us modify the stay at the last minutes. My fur babies were taken care of very well!!”

“Another great stay with Ron! Stella greets ton like she greets us- with lots of barking and excitement. That’s when I know she truly enjoys her time with him. I’ve booked with Ron twice just this month!!”

“This was our very first time boarding our 1 year old rottie-mix, Howie. I picked Derek because he lives very close to us, and said he lets his dogs sleep in his bed with him and Howie could join in if he wanted! Then we met Derek, saw his big yard and we were sold! Derek is dog person through and through. He sent us tons of photos. He treated Howie like he was his own dog. We feel very lucky to have found Derek and he’ll definitely be the one to board Howie again when we need it. Thank you Derek!! I swear Howie is more well behaved since he stayed with you!”

“Brendan and Sarah did a fantastic job! They sent lots of updates and pics, Rosie got lots of love and attention and felt right and home with her new best friends June and Jasper. We’ll never go back to the kennel, this was SOOO much better!!!!”

“Kayla was a great sitter for our pup. We needed help last minute, we did a meet and greet and then our dog stayed for a long weekend. She came home exhausted from all the fun and play. She was well taken care of. Would definitely recommend Kayla for your sitting needs.”

“Lynn is the best Rover we ever had. She plays games with her dogs and makes sure to find the best way to get our picky eater to eat. Our dog is very comfortable at her house because she is treated like Lynn's dogs and she fits in with her pack. We get daily updates with pictures and videos and we never have to worry about our dog while we are away.”

“Thank you so much Summer for taking such good care of my baby! I loved seeing the photos and videos every day and she was so nice about letting us visit ahead of time which put my anxiety at ease. Will definitely book with Summer again next time I gotta go out of town !”

About: I bring over 15 years of general animal care experience, including 2 years of professional pet sitting. My specialization lies in caring for elderly and medically-inclined pets, and I am proficient in all aspects of medication administration including subcutaneous fluids. While experienced with senior care, I thoroughly enjoy the playful energy of pups and am comfortable with all life stages. Though furry friends are my specialty, I also have experience with a variety of pets, including the feathery, scaly, and creepy crawly. At Pet Shenanigans, my core philosophy revolves around providing great quality care, consistency, and reliability. The most rewarding feedback I receive is about the peace of mind I offer owners while they are away, a testament to the trust they place in me. I take that responsibility to heart and strive to exceed expectations with every pet I care for. I look forward to meeting you and your companions! I am a professional pet sitter, so I will be here when you need me! I am reliable all times of the year and can incorporate daily walks, potty breaks, or spontaneous drop ins. My house sitting service is available on select dates and fill up quickly, so plan ahead. I am respectful of the space I am in. I will always clean up any messes, leave a full water bowl, and ensure your best friend has a safe environment before I leave.

“Lindsey and her family did a wonderful job caring for our mischievous puppy while we were away. Her home is beautiful, and she even made it puppy-proof just for our busy baby boy. I felt completely confident in Lindsey’s ability to provide Fred with excellent care, and that is exactly what he received. I would definitely trust her with Fred again. As a bonus, her kids were wonderful and helped introduce him to being around children.”

“Anne was amazing!! When we were running late for our flight and had to rush to drop of our puppy she was so understanding. On the way back home our flight was delayed and she was extremely flexible and understanding. We will definitely book her again.”

Gloria H.

“We absolutely loved Tina an Rick. I felt like my dog(Milo) was very well taken cared for and in loving hands. We received daily updates that included pictures or videos. We also had an emergency and had to extend his stay and they were very accommodating. I also loved how they included at the end of his stay a little report of how his stay was. I will definitely use them again as i felt like they really treated my baby as they would their own dog.”

Tammy P.

“Will most definitely use her again! Her and her boy took care of Bella and I didn't have to worry. Highly recommend her!”

“Cris displayed remarkable understanding and flexibility. He exceeded our expectations, very accommodating, going the extra mile in providing exceptional care. He consistently kept us informed and did an excellent job looking after our dog. When we came back, our dog appeared well cared for and genuinely happy. Both Cris and his wife treated our dog with upmost kindness and care. If you're looking for someone to take care of your fur baby, I strongly recommend Cris, he's truly exceptional.”
