“Augusta was great! Her communication before the visit and during was great; friendly and responsive. She was patient with our pup and seemed to really care about giving him some quality time. I will definitely book her again when we need someone!”


“I could tell my cats were taken care of because when I got home from my trip my cats were not screaming at me. They were happy to see me but also very content. Monica scooped the litter boxes and even put the cat dishes in the sink after they finished eating, which I really appreciated!”


“Keerie was very compassionate and professional! She was very attentive and gentle with my senior cats. I am so happy to have her care for them and will absolutely request her services in the future!!!”


About: My senior dog passed away recently and I’m looking for pups to care for until I decide on my next fur baby. I am a hiker and constantly in the woods so if your dog likes walks, I’m your gal! I’m skilled in emergency care and can administer medications. I am a medical professional and my schedule is flexible. I’m willing and able to spend the extra time and love your doggos (but I’m not prejudiced to just dog love!) because all creatures deserve kindness and respect. I have experience dispensing medications and caring for animals with anxiety. Please consider asking me to care for your dog/cat, I will treat them as if they were my own. -Sam I am a remote worker and am able to spend ample time with your animal! Walks are typically 30 minutes minimum, unless otherwise requested. I hike daily and I’m always looking for a hiking companion. Your dog will be able to roam freely in my home (unless otherwise requested). If I’m away, I will likely crate your dog unless they are potty trained and have house manners.

About: As a former foster parent for dogs, I’ve cared for pups of all ages, sizes, and personalities—from energetic puppies to sweet senior dogs who need extra patience and love. I know how to read their body language, build trust, and provide a calm, comforting space. Whether your dog needs playful enrichment, gentle medication, or just lots of snuggles, I tailor my care to their unique needs. I treat every dog like family because to me, they truly are. I am also willing to help monitor and care for cats, and other small in-home animals, such as hamsters. If you have any of these pets that will need tended to please let me know during your booking. Bonus: I’m experienced with crate training, leash manners, and helping shy or anxious pups feel safe. Your dog will be in loving, capable hands! Please see my attached schedule within the photos for time frames I am available for your baby! If you have any questions about my availability or schedule, don't hesitate to reach out! At my home, pets are treated like part of the family. I create a safe, cozy, and low-stress environment where dogs can relax, play, and feel right at home. I follow their normal routines as closely as possible—feeding times, walks, play, and any special instructions you provide. Because of my experience as a foster parent, I’m very mindful of each dog’s personality and comfort level. Whether they need extra playtime, space to decompress, or just a lot of love, I adjust my care to fit their needs. If I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to respect their space and routines while keeping communication open. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and well-being always come first—no matter where they are.

“Katarina was amazing! She really cares about the pets she is watching. She was fantastic watching our kitten and senior kitty for an entire week. I loved receiving the photos after each check in and it looked like the kitties were having a blast. She made sure each cat was comfortable and received the care they needed. Thank you for being such a wonderful cat sitter!! It helped ease our nerves while being away for so long!”


“Janel has been so incredibly patient with my dog Willow. Willow is very anxious and struggles to trust new people. She has spent time getting to know her and allowing her space to get comfortable with her!! Janel has been a great Rover friend for Willow and I would certainly recommend her to others, especially if your dog has anxiety issues with new people like mine. Thanks Janel!”


About: I've had at least one dog since I was 23, and currently, I have two that I absolutely adore. Lately, I've been searching for pet sitters and thought, "Why not do it myself?" I’d love to help others by providing trustworthy care for their four-legged friends when they can’t be there. For drop-ins I can come 3 times during the day everyday except Tuesday and Wednesday, I can only do 2 on those days. I work in the office two days a week but am home on weekends. On office days, I’m there for 8 hours, but I can come home during lunch to let your dogs out if needed. If your dog gets along with mine, they’ll have free rein of the house. If not, they’ll stay in the kitchen when I can’t supervise them. My yard is secure since I have an escape artist of my own! :) I typically only take one dog at a time (or two if they're from the same family).

“Jacob is very friendly, communicative, reliable and very accommodating as I needed someone at the last minute. He did a great job with my dog Koda. I strongly recommend Jacob for pet services. He was very responsible and helpful and set my mind at ease while I was traveling. Yamini Adkins”


“Megan is a reliable, all-animal-loving dog sitter and a lovely person. Having her take my boy for walks while I worked long shifts put me at such ease. We are from out of town and here for the month for work- she told me about the area and gave me tips. She gave thorough updates, lots of pics of my boy, and answered any questions I had about his day. If I were staying in the area, I’d continue to book her every day!”


About: Growing up with dogs as a part of the family I have taken care of them my whole life. When I was 15 my family brought home a new puppy and I didn’t have a summer job, so she was my responsibility. Over the years I have taken care of dogs of all ages from energetic puppies to senior pups that need a little more love and understanding. I have administered medications and eye drops with ease and few trick up my sleeves. I enjoy having training sessions with the dogs and even teaching them a new trick while their family is away. This helps give them something to focus on and encourages bonding between us. I would be honored to take care of your furry family member while you’re away. I'm currently working part time and would love to help out your family while I have the time. While in my current status I can do more walks, potty breaks as needed. Potty break is the first and foremost needed when I arrive at a client's home. Then a walk, a little time for some training and a little bit of play as well. It's just as important they have some mental stimulation.

About: I love Gods creatures, great and small. I am a lover of unconditional 4 legged of love! I will treat your fur family as if they were my own- unconditionally and with care! I do work a part time job, but officially retired, I love to walk, I look forward to being motivated and sharing the joy of it! I have flexibility and mobility. I can also stay in your pets comfortable environment, to make sure they have comfort and care well with them. I would favor allowing your fur family to remain in their comfortable environment rather than stressing them in my home. I am available to come to serve you and them.

About: With 15+ years of experience caring for both cats and dogs, I provide loving, dependable pet sitting tailored to each animal’s personality and needs. From energetic pups to shy kitties, I treat every pet like my own—because they deserve nothing less. I’m a clear and thoughtful communicator. I keep pet parents informed and reassured with regular updates and check-ins. I currently work from home, so I’m very flexible with morning, afternoon, or evening visits. Let me know your schedule, and I’ll be there. Looking forward to meeting your pet! Although I don’t offer my in-home services, I am able to drop in on pets at client homes! I can easily follow feeding schedules and routines to make your pet feel safe and comfortable while you’re away!

About: I’ve been a dog lover since about the age of 10 when we got my family dog, Shadow, a cockapoo. As a kid and while growing up, I even trained Shadow to compete in agility competitions and took him to training weekly while also practicing with him in the backyard! When I moved out, I got my own fur baby- a golden doodle named Bubity! Obsessed doesn’t even begin to describe how much I love my dog as I have a water bottle, pair of slippers, shorts and sweatshirt with him on it! I promise to treat your dog as if they’re are my own! I’m currently working part time as a nurse while also attending classes virtually for my masters. My schedule changes weekly but I usually know it about a month in advance! I am pretty flexible on my days off and and willing to work with you in order to help take care of your fur baby! I have a fully fenced in yard and my 1 golden doodle at home. I am more than happy to host your dog for play dates in our yard. I know how hard it is to get a routine set with your dog whether it be something as simple as turning the TV on before leaving the house, walking a specific route to get them to go potty or giving them a special treat when they’re going to be left alone. Whatever your routine is, let me know and I will follow it to its entirety!

About: I’m a lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience. I’ve owned and self-trained three energetic Boxers and currently share my life with a sweet Weimaraner named Pilot. I’ve cared for dogs at all stages—from playful puppies to loving seniors—and understand the unique needs that come with each age. Whether it’s a walk, playtime, or just some comforting company, I treat every dog like family. I’m a teacher who is free all summer and has a flexible schedule during the rest of the year. I live in the West Akron area. Pilot is a high energy Weim who loves cuddles and play time. He has been trained my myself and my husband. I am used to walks, play, cuddles, baths, meds….everything you can imagine.

Melissa W.
“Missy is the kind of sitter every pet parent hopes to find. From our first meet-and-greet, she connected instantly with our two spirited miniature schnauzer boys, Franklin and Benjamin, and treated them as if they were her own. While we were away, Missy sent thoughtful updates and photos that captured their personalities—whether they were chasing squeaky toys or curled up for afternoon naps—so we never had to wonder how they were doing. Beyond the sweet snapshots, Missy’s professionalism shone through in every detail: prompt communication, meticulous adherence to their feeding and walking routines, and a spotless home when we returned. If you’re looking for peace of mind and pups who come home happy, tired, and thoroughly loved, book Missy. Five stars simply don’t feel like enough.”


Bridget C.
“Bridget Is a proud pet owner of two cats and treats them like royalty. Those cats are her children and she would treat anyone's else's animals with the same amount of dignity and respect. She is attentive and considerate and will make a great pet sitter.”
