Dog Sitting in Silver Lake

“Keerie did a great job taking care of our 2 cats when we were gone! She gave them lots of love and made sure they had plenty of food and water. Great communication and lots of cute pictures! We would definitely use her again.”

“I highly recommend Tara as a pet sitter. She watched my 4 cats over the holidays. She provided excellent care, ensuring they were fed, played with, and received the attention they needed. She also gave our oldest kitty medication during her visits. Tara's reliability and genuine love for animals make her the perfect choice for anyone seeking a trustworthy sitter!”

About: Hi! I’m a reliable and caring pet lover based in the Akron/Cuyahoga Falls area. I’ve cared for cats and dogs of all personalities and understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I currently have pets of my own, so I’m very familiar with feeding routines, litter/cleanup, playtime, medication schedules, and giving animals patience and attention. I’m happy to provide updates and photos during visits so you can feel at ease while you’re away from home. My schedule is flexible, and I’m available for drop-ins, house sitting, and pet care throughout the week. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, cuddly, or independent, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! 🐾 It fits in perfectly! I am currently doing mostly freelance work right now so this type of flexible schedule is just the right fit for me! I will provide extra toys, lots of love and snuggles, and I am open to discussing providing more if that is of interest to you!

“Julie was amazing again this week with our golden and two kittens! She always goes above and beyond, whether it’s doing extra checks on the pets, giving them medicine, or working with our complicated vacation schedule.”

“Kayla is so patient with my little barker. She is great with communication and just an overall pleasant person. I will be using her again.”

About: I’ve grown up around both cats and dogs my entire life, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my daily routine. From feeding, walking, and bathing to playing with them and making sure they feel comfortable and loved, I’m very familiar with the responsibility that comes with pet care. I’ve also helped friends and family members by watching their pets while they were away, including stopping in for walks, feeding, playtime, and giving them attention and companionship. Being around animals has always been something I genuinely enjoy, and I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities, sizes, and energy levels. I currently work part time, so I have lots of time for your animals! Most days, I can guarantee a bathroom break no more than 6 hours apart. There are a few days it would be 8 hours, but I will be clear with my communication with you! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always try to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I follow all feeding schedules, walk routines, medication instructions, and any specific care preferences closely to help pets feel safe and relaxed while their owner is away. I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and companionship based on their personality and energy level. I also keep the home clean and respectful, including cleaning up after pets, refreshing water bowls, and maintaining litter boxes if needed. Communication is very important to me, so I provide regular updates and photos to help owners feel at ease while they’re away.

“Katarina is the best with our kitties! She has watched them a handful of times over the past two years! I love the photos and check-in notes she sends each visit. I know they are in safe hands!”

“Matt was awesome from start to finish! From making arraignments before during and after our trip. Glorious loved Matt and there were no issues. Any time we need a dog sitter in the future no doubt we will be going to Matt. Thanks again”

About: I have taken care of the pets for family and friends for years, with many over night stays with them. Animals tend to be drawn to me and I can never get enough of the unconditional love that they provide! I am great with requests for the special care of your special furry family members! I work at a school, so we are currently in summer and I am off of work at 2 ever day of the week, but also available at night for any possible over night needs! I will not be taking animals to my home, as I have a roommate who has cats and they do not do well with other animals.

“Morgan was super kind and I definitely trusted her to check in on my girl. Will definitely reach out again if I need someone to watch her! :)”

About: I am a huge animal lover who owns 3 cats and a snake! A puppy will be in my future. :) I have experience with fostering (kittens) and pet sitting both cats and dogs. I often dog sit (large and small dogs) for my mother, grandfather, and aunt and it is a joy to spend my free time with animals of all kinds. I also have experience owning pet turtles, lizards, and fish! ⚠️Due to my complex internship schedule, my availability is all over the place. Because of this I can mainly only help with your trips and vacations, not consistent weekly care. I have a fairly flexible schedule, making sure to have time for animals aside from going to my Master’s Degree internship! Each day is a little different, but there is time in each day for your loved ones. I am a detail oriented person who loves to follow a list to completion. I am familiar with walking dogs, feeding schedules, crating instructions, and more! I will follow any rules and guidelines laid out for me to ensure the best care and routine for your fur baby.

About: My experience is from having pets of my own. I’ve had a dog since I was 9 years old and ever since. My husband has taken care of cats his entire life. We have 3 dogs currently- 2 goldens and a lab I work during the week but am available on the weekends for walks, house visits for feeding, playing with or even hikes if wanted 😃 At our home- we have a fenced in yard and I have 3 dogs of my own who we can do play dates with. Also have a crate if needed for me to bring

About: I bring lifelong experience in caring for pets, with a strong background in feline and dog care and a solid understanding of general pet needs. I’m dependable with daily responsibilities like feeding, cleaning, and maintaining a safe environment, and I’m attentive to changes in behavior or health. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions and adapting to each pet’s personality to ensure they feel secure and well cared for. I have pet sat many times for my friends and family members, and also for clients on Trusted House Sitters! :) My schedule allows me to provide consistent daily care throughout the week, with additional flexibility and availability from Thursday through Sunday when I work from home. During those days, I’m home full-time, which means I can offer more attentive care, frequent check-ins, and a calm, stable environment for pets. I also am available pretty frequently on tuesdays all day and mondays/wednesday evenings. Safety and trust are extremely important to me when caring for pets. I understand how much cats rely on a calm, predictable environment, and I work to create a space where they feel comfortable and secure. With years of experience and three cats of my own, I’m attentive to small changes in behavior and always prioritize their well-being, comfort, and routine.

About: I grew up on a farm where I cared for a range of animals from chickens to cats. From there, I have always had a pet to share my heart with. I have had guinea pigs, cats, dogs in my own home and have yet to meet an animal I don't get along with. I am looking for flexible work so that I can finish writing my novel without letting the burden of finances fall completely on my husband. I figure walking and caring/sitting for animals to help keep my family fed is a great match for me, my personality, and my love for animals. I used to work 13 hour days, an hour from home, so I understand the importance of a pet nanny and would be honored to help you with that need! My two fur babies, Lily (9 year old Ragamuffin kitty) and Ellie (5 year old German Shepherd) have different personalities and co-habitate beautifully, but I would not want to introduce other animals into my home. Both of my girls are rescues from different shelters (Angels for Animals and One of a Kind Pet Rescue) and they both lived stressful lives before me so my job is to give them sanctuary and love. That said, in regard to care, Lily is pretty self regulated. Every other day, her food bowl is re-filled (no, you can't see the bottom of the bowl but she's my sweet princess who gets what she wants) and her kitty litter is scooped every other day and changed as needed. Ellie is a rescued Puppy Mill momma who grew up in a very confusing way and is forever married to routine. To keep her happy and healthy, we let her out same time each day (7am) where she eats 1.5 cups of food, potty break at 12pm and again at 5pm (1.5 cups). Ellie's gets let out 3 times a day, per her wants because I try to let her out more and if she doesn't have to go potty, she turns around and lays on her Tempur-Pedic bed. Otherwise, when the weather is appropriate Ellie and I take a minimum of a 15 minute walk in the park behind my house. I hope this description helps you trust that your fur babies will consider me "Auntie Marah" soon enough, and that they are in safe and caring hands with me. I am happy to answer any questions!

About: I’ve worked at a busy kennel and have years of experience, caring for dogs of all breeds and energy levels. I specialize in reliable, loving dog walks, and am confident handling any breed, size, and energy levels! Whether your dog loves a slow sniff walk or high energy exercise, I’m here to make sure they’re happy, safe, and cared for like the family they are. I look forward to meeting your fur-baby! I currently work from home running my own business (Threaded Impressions - Custom Embroidery), but I can definitely add this to my routine! I am looking to have this as a flexible second source of income! Your pets safety is my top priority on every walk! I use the leash and gear you provide to ensure your dog is comfortable with equipment they already know. I never walk dogs off leash and only walk one household at a time, giving your dog, my full attention! I avoid busy or overly stimulating areas unless request requested, and I follow your care instructions carefully. I treat every dog like my own - with patience, love, and respect.

About: I am a caring and dependable dog walker with a genuine love and respect for animals. I currently walk two dogs Tuesday through Friday and have built a strong bond with them. One was shy and barked at me at first, but now happily runs up to greet me—an experience I truly value. I also volunteer at the Humane Society animal shelter, where I help feed cats, clean their cages, and walk dogs. At times, my responsible and gentle 14-year-old son assists me on walks, offering extra attention and care to the dogs. As a tutor and substitute teacher with a flexible schedule and summers off, I’m able to provide consistent, reliable care. My priority is making sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. My flexible schedule as a tutor and substitute teacher allows me free time to do pet sitting and dog walking. I tend to walk dogs between 8am to 11am and then do my substitute teaching job between 11:45 to 3:15pm and after that will walk a dog as needed. During the summer time Im free all day for walks and for house sitting. If a dog is staying with me, I make sure I know the dog whereabouts at all times. I make sure my floors are clean and free of anything that may potentially be toxic or harmful to dogs. I make sure to follow any instructions or recommendations from the client concerning the well being of their pet.

“Augusta was wonderful - pics and updates. She squeezed me into her schedule at last minute and was awesome with Mabel. Thank you, Augusta! I will def book again.”

About: Hi! I’m Natalie—an experienced and compassionate pet sitter and dog walker. I’ve grown up around animals of all kinds and have over five years of experience caring for dogs and cats. I’ve provided pet care for neighbors, friends, family, and Rover clients, with three years of experience specifically through Rover. I’m comfortable caring for senior pets and those with special needs, including dogs with back leg paralysis, and I always prioritize following owner instructions while paying close attention to each pet’s comfort cues. I treat every pet as if they were my own—with patience, respect, and plenty of love. I began pet sitting in college as a side gig and quickly discovered how much I loved it. Since graduating, I’ve been working full-time, but caring for animals remains a true passion of mine, and I would be honored to care for your furry family member. Let me know how I can help—I can’t wait to meet your furbaby! I do work full-time, but if you’re located in or around Akron, I’m able to provide mid-day potty breaks and can work from home one day a week, allowing for extra time and flexibility with your pet. I will always ask for and follow the instructions left by the owner. I will act professional and courteous while picking up dogs for walks or pet sitting within the residence. Most importantly, I am adaptable to any animals needs.

“Kayla is a very kind-hearted young woman who really gets to know your pets and makes a true connection with them. We have a difficult Chihuahua mix who doesn't eat when I leave and she had him eating every day amazing a born talent thanks again Kayla.”

“She is always so amazing with my dog!”
