Dog Boarding Northwest Akron

About: Since I work from home, I'm able to provide plenty of companionship, attention, supervision, and flexibility throughout the day. Your dog won't be left alone for long periods and will have someone nearby to provide care, playtime, and plenty of affection. My husband has been around dogs his entire life and has extensive experience raising and caring for them. Together, we're comfortable caring for dogs of different ages, personalities, and energy levels. We understand that every dog has unique needs and routines, and we're committed to providing a safe, loving, and comfortable environment where they can feel right at home. We're especially attentive to puppies who need patience, consistency, and frequent supervision, as well as senior dogs who may need a slower pace, extra comfort, and additional care. Our goal is to treat every dog like part of our family and give them the individual attention they deserve. I currently work from home, which allows me to easily incorporate pet care into my daily routine. I can provide dedicated spaces for their bed, crate, feeding area, and food and supplies. Since I am home throughout the day, I can maintain consistent routines for feeding, walks, playtime, grooming, and cleaning. I also make sure the home is safe and comfortable for pets by keeping medications, chemicals, toxic foods and plants, and small objects out of reach. My pets are an important part of my household, and I am able to provide them with the attention, companionship, and care they need throughout the day. I care for every pet as if they were part of my own family. Since I work from home, I’m able to provide consistent companionship, supervision, and attention throughout the day. I follow each pet’s individual routine, including feeding schedules, walks, and playtime, I make sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved while they’re in my care. I’m happy to maintain their normal routines and provide plenty of exercise, play, affection, and one-on-one attention. I also understand that pets can feel anxious when their owners are away, so I provide a calm, patient environment and give them time to adjust.

“Sarais took great care of our 2 pups when we left town for a few days. At the end of their stay she bathed them, which was super sweet and helpful of her. My only thing was that I could’ve used more updates but whenever I reached out she quickly responded with pictures! I would definitely recommend!”

About: I have had 4 family dogs since 2000. I Iove dogs. Now that I am in my retirement years, I choose to just have "grand dogs" dogs, that we can love and play with, but they eventually go home. I am retired, home most days and weekends. We babysit my twin grandsons (age 4) at my home on Monday and Fridays and they love dogs. They have grown up with 3 dogs. I have a fenced in back yard, steps to upstairs and downstairs have doors so no issues with steps. Dog water easily accessible and have plenty of dog toys and treats!

“Gabrielle (and Greta!) went above and beyond in helping me and my dog this week! I am extremely grateful for everything and so impressed by her passion for taking excellent care of animals! 🤍”

Elizabeth W.

“I am thankful to Kelly and family for taking such good care of our dog. I think Edith had a great time with them. I so appreciated the pictures and could tell Edith was happy and contented. I think she misses her new friends! I wish I could have picked her up myself, but with crazy airline schedules, I would have been late, so my daughter who loves Edith as much as we do, came to get her and thought you were such good people. Thanks again.”

About: I’ve been around and caring for dogs and other pets since I was young, and having animals in my life has always been something I’ve genuinely enjoyed. I understand that every dog has their own personality, comfort level, and individual needs. I’ve cared for dogs with anxiety, dogs who need extra patience and reassurance, energetic puppies, and dogs going through different stages of life. To me, pets aren’t just animals we’re responsible for; they’re family members who deserve to feel safe, loved, and included. I take that responsibility seriously and do my best to make every dog feel comfortable and at home. I’m currently offering affordable rates below the average local sitter’s pricing because I genuinely enjoy the companionship of dogs and want quality, attentive pet care to be accessible. My goal isn’t simply to watch your dog, but to make sure they’re happy, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’ll gladly follow your dog’s established routines, feeding schedules, and individual care instructions, and I understand how important it is to keep pet parents updated and reassured. Your dog’s comfort and well-being will always come first! My schedule is currently very flexible, and I’m home throughout the day, allowing me to give your pup plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship. I can accommodate different routines, feeding schedules, and activity levels. Your dog won’t be left alone for long periods while in my care, and I’ll have plenty of time to make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and included. Your dog’s safety, happiness, and comfort will always come first. I believe pets are family and deserve to be treated with the same love, patience, and consideration as any other family member. I take each owner’s instructions seriously and will follow your dog’s established routines, rules, feeding schedules, boundaries, and care requirements to the letter. I understand that every dog is different, and I’ll never assume what works for one dog works for another. I also believe communication is important, so I’m happy to provide regular updates, photos, and reassurance throughout your pup’s stay.

“Dungey had a great time with Susan. He enjoyed running around her large yard with her pup!! Susan and her husband Dave took great care of Dungey giving him attention and treats! Susan was great with communication, she sent updates and pictures. We will be using her again when needed, and would recommend her if your needing care for your pup!”

About: I’ve had a personal family dog since I was 5, a second dog at 15, and have been watching neighbors and family members’ animals for 5+ years! I currently work full-time as a 5th grade math teacher. I’m available typically after 4pm on weekdays, and anytime over the course of the weekend. At my apartment I have a fenced in dog park where dogs can mingle and play. There is also an attached portage trails hike & bike trail friendly to animals!

“Isabel is very caring. A great temp dog mom. She sent multiple photos over two days. Has a fenced-in backyard for exploration and running. Walked our baby daily. Let her sleep at the foot of her bed and get on furniture. She even got up at 4:45 am to take Ellie to potty. We will definitely use again!”

“Second time having Heather and her husband watch our dogs. They were great at communicating and letting me know how well they behaved they were for them. It’s nice to have a loyal sitter for when we are away and do not have to worry about the dogs.”

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.

Not only was she great with my pet, but also did an amazing job communicating with me especially being flexible when I needed some help. I would love her to take care of my dog again.”
