“Marie was the Best Rover Ever! Davy had so much fun and Marie sent pictures confirming how much fun our dog (Davy) was having throughout the day. Such a nice woman and so wonderful with our doggo I highly recommend Marie and will definitely use her services again when in the Akron area!”



“I had an excellent experience with Mark & Elizabeth. They showed genuine care and attention to my fur baby, providing regular updates and sending adorable pictures. It's clear they have a true passion for animals, and I felt confident that my dog was in good hands. I highly recommend their services for anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.”


“So good with Maple's puppy energy, her home is so dog-friendly with an amazing back yard for safe wandering and playing. So grateful my puppy can have a great time with her new friends at Kathy's home while I am working!”


About: I have been living with dogs, my entire life. In that time I have trained multiple puppies, and I have dog sit for multiple families. I work from home, so I am able to give my dogs and any dogs that I am watching plenty of attention during the day. I keep our house and our fenced-in backyard clear of any dangers that could harm any of our pets. I keep water readily available, both inside and outside along with comfortable places to lay down.

About: I've grown up with fuzzies and cared for them all. Tended and loved bunnies both big and small, pups young and old, cats timid and bold. Regardless of pet, I will treat 'em like gold. Loved on and spoiled they'll be sorry to go, I'll keep them quite cozy and you in the know. Caring for fur-babies requires love, understanding, and flexibility. Each pet comes with her own needs and personality. With four dogs (Diamond, Patrick, Trish, and Dusty) and four cats (Joel, Hibbleton, Joe, and Dom) in my care, I've had a little bit of practice in nourishing each individual purr-sonality. Once we get the schedules sorted, I'll be sure to give your loved one the same consideration and I think we'll get along just fine. That being said, I kindly ask that you be mindful of my time. When I reply to your initial message, I typically wait 4-24 hours for a response. If I don’t hear back within that window, I may archive the request. If you send me a booking request but aren't sure of the exact dates and times, I can hold your request for 4-48 hours while you confirm the details. If the issue is not resolved within that time frame, the request may be archived. Hello, and thank you for meeting me here! If I'm at your house, your fur-baby will be let out every 4-8 hours unless otherwise needed. At least one daily walk is guaranteed (weather permitting) so your little one can catch up on all the neighborhood gossip; if there's a dog park nearby, I'll take him to meet up with his friends. If you'll provide me with your dog's dietary needs, medications, and routines; I'll do my best to make sure that he's feelin' just as fly as he would be if you were there. Now if your pup chooses to stay at my lovely establishment, I do have a questionnaire for all clients to ensure that every aspect of your pup’s care is covered. Among other things, I ask about your pup’s needs, medications, vaccinations, preferences, and routines. After the business part is sorted, I have for your pupper two yards; one for business, one for fun. My house has two floors; the first floor is all his. The rules are pretty chill. Pets are allowed on the furniture, food and water are freely available, tricks are rewarded with treats, and if he's a well-behaved gentle-pup, bedtime is kennel-free. However, if you have different boundaries set for your pet I'll be happy to ensure that your little one minds his manners during his stay. Oh, one more thing: I am the tug-o-war champion, though your dog is welcome to try and take my title.

“Carrie was very accommodating and she was so good with my dog! It felt really good to know that she was safe and cared for!”


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.

About: I’ve always had a natural connection with animals, especially dogs. I have several years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, energy levels, and temperaments — including walking, feeding, giving medications, and providing loving companionship. I’ve helped care for both puppies and senior dogs, so I understand the patience and attention they each need. What Sets Me Apart What sets me apart is the calm, attentive energy I bring to every dog I care for. I treat each pet like a member of the family, taking the time to understand their unique needs and personality. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and comfortable following specific routines or care instructions. If your dog needs extra time, snuggles, or someone who can read their mood and body language, I’m your person. I’m also experienced with basic training reinforcement and keeping pets stimulated during walks or visits. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to fit pet care in consistently throughout the week. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits or walks, depending on your dog’s needs. I enjoy being active and outside, so daily walks fit naturally into my routine. I also prioritize reliability — if we set a time, I’ll be there. Pet care isn’t just a side gig for me; it’s something I truly enjoy and make space for in my day. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or at a client’s home, safety and trust are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, triggers, and preferences to make sure they feel secure and comfortable. I always follow instructions closely, keep a clean and pet-friendly environment, and never leave pets unattended during walks or outdoor time. If I’m in a client’s home, I treat their space with the same respect I’d expect in mine — locking doors, keeping things tidy, and communicating clearly about how things are going. I also stay alert to changes in behavior or health and will notify you right away if anything seems off. Building trust with both the pet and the owner is important to me, and I’m committed to providing reliable, thoughtful care every time.

“Hannah was great w/ my boys. She played w/ them and took them for a good walk and even sent me pics. They had room and freedom to roam the house freely and room to play catch for my shepherd, which was very important! Lol I have 2 big boys that are well behaved but can be intimidating for some ppl just d/t their size, Hannah showed no fear! Thank you for a great day!!”


“As always Kaylee is great and Gigi loves going to her house to play with all her friends! Very flexible as well which is nice and peace of mind knowing she's safe with her! :)”


“I’m so happy Hank and I found Kirsty! I feel so relieved knowing my pup is in safe and loving hands while I’m at work. I can’t speak highly enough about the great experience Hank and I have had. I 100% recommend Kirsty! ☺️”
