Dog Sitting Silver Lake

About: I have been taking care of dogs most of my life. I am 57. I have done dog training and agility with 2 of our dogs. I have had a puppy and dealt with Senior dogs too. I love to give our dog lots of attention with play time, walking and outdoor activities. I love to take walks and go to other parks too. With the owner's permission, I love to go to the dog park-Bow Wow dog park and the Akron Dog Park. I give your furry one lots of attention with play time-throwing toys-playing fetch with a ball or toy. Letting them have backyard time. We have a fenced in back yard for the dogs to be free. I also will brush your dog and pet them and give them attention, while you are away. I will treat your dog like he/she is my own dog. Another place I will take dogs is Petsmart or Pet Supplies Plus for social interaction and exercise. I am at home and available most days. We have a 20 year-old Son, who also loves dogs! My Husband helps out too, with walks and letting the dogs out in our backyard and is a dog person. Currently, I am not working. I have a knee problem and some medical issues that prevent me from working full time. I have plenty of time to take care of your dog. We love to take walks and go to the dog parks. However, if you prefer your dog not to go to the dog park, that is fine. We could go on walks and let your dog go outside in our backyard. We have lots of dog toys, bones, balls, etc... I do have a walk thru pet gate that I set up to block off the kitchen and dining room area. We will feed our dog and your dog separately in separate rooms. I love to brush and pet dogs. If needed, we could bath your dog too. We are a "dog" type family, that is our preference. We have had fish, hamsters and also a guinea pig in the past. I grew up with a cat in our home, as a child. We will throw ball and toys for the dogs and play with your dog. We have a small crate that is in our garage, however we don't usually use the crate. If we leave the home, depending on the situation, if your dog is destructive or chewing on furniture or other items, then we will crate your dog when we leave for church or a short errand. If you have a calm dog and the dog is not destructive and well mannered, then your dog could stay in the family room area, unless you prefer that your dog is in his crate. We will use 2 dog gates near our steps to go upstairs. We prefer that our dog and other dogs do not go upstairs. As a House Sitter, I would do any needed cleaning up of any messes I make. I would be bringing my own food, as I am gluten free and dairy free. The only thing I would need is some freezer and frigerated space for my food. I would follow your normal routine for your dog or dogs. I do have occasional Dr and therapy appointments, fyi. We have a home in Akron, with a fence in our backyard. We live near a forest, it is a quiet area. We have a small neighborhood, where the street dead ends to a forest. We don't get drive thru traffic, that use our area as a "short cut".

“Maria was great! Maria watched our cats Oliver and Benny for about a week while my family and I went on vacation. We had no issues at all and the cats seemed very content when we got home. I’d recommend Maria as a pet sitter for others.”

“Responsive and easy to schedule. Good communication. We met and they spent time with my dog. When they care for her, they provide nice notes of what they did and shared pictures. Will use them again for drop in walks and pet sitting.”

About: I’m currently living on campus at my college and I come from a company in my hometown called HomeWard Bound which is a pet-care company that is very similar to Rover. I have many months of experience which lead me to enjoy this job and wanting to continue it when I live on campus. Over the summer I will be mainly free since my priority is occupying my time with taking care of animals and learning more about them! I care with patience and trust. I allow the pet to warm up to me if needed, no forcing. I follow instructions thoroughly since I have experience from taking care of numerous amount of animals.

“Sierra was so amazing with our pets!!! She was the first sitter we ever hired to watch our animals, and I’m so glad that she made our first experience on rover a good one. I was so worried about my cats getting out until I met her, but she was willing to do a meet and greet before hand and she sent me so many cute pictures of them during our time away! I’m so sad that she won’t be in my area anymore 😭 to whoever books her next, your babies are in good hands!!!”

About: I’ve taken care of animals basically my whole life! I’ve never had a period of time without a cat and/or dog in my house (as well as fish and hermit crabs!). Ever since I’ve been able to, I helped care for the family pets (walking, grooming, feeding etc). Now I have two kitties that I love very much! I also used to walk my neighbors’ dogs about 10 years ago when I was 13 and all throughout high school. Additionally, I’ve done longer term pet sitting for friends going on trips several times. I take care of my animals everyday of course! I feed my cats daily, clean their litter boxes everyday, and make sure their water fountain is full. Weekly they get brushed, and they get baths as needed. I will comply to whatever your house rules are! Whatever your fur babies need, I’m here for! I want to make sure they are happy, healthy and their needs are met. My goal is to keep your space nice and clean and your pets content and cared for.

About: I have had dogs my whole life. I love all animals, big and small. My family often asks me to watch their dogs when they go out of town. I can assist with giving medications, feeding, walks, brushing, etc. I love finding new ways to bond with animals, whether that be walks, going to the park, getting a pup cup, etc. I know every animal has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. I am patient about letting dogs warm up to me at their own pace and pay close attention to their body language to ensure they feel comfortable and safe while you’re away. My full time job is flexible as I work hybrid. I work from home every Monday and Friday. I can assist those days generally any time with advanced notice, during the evening throughout the week, and anytime on weekends. I have a fenced in yard and one friendly dog. I am happy to walk your dog or play with them in your yard or house if that’s what you prefer! I enjoy taking pups for a pup cup or ice cream and have a dog seatbelt in my vehicle!

About: I am a 26 years old. I live in Tallmadge, OH. I have 1 dog that lives with me now. He is an American Bully and love other dogs, but has a ton of energy and all he wants to do is play. I am experienced in caring for a variety of different animals; including dogs, cats, hamsters, sugar gliders, lizards, goats, & chickens. I also used to work at an animal hospital that also boarded pets when they were recovering from surgery or even just when the owner went out of town. I have also pet sat for friends and family for years now. I’m an aspiring business owner hoping to start networking and building connections to help when it comes time for me to fully start my business. I would love the time to get to know you and your furry friend. I worked at Camp Bow Wow so I have that experience as well. I volunteer at one of a kind pets whenever possible. I try to respond back within the hour. I’m also fully vaccinated. I currently work full time, but I go in at 8am and I get off at 4:30pm. I am also off on weekends. I work from home Tuesday-Friday usually unless I have a meeting. I am currently working full time. My hours are 8am-4:30pm Monday- Friday. I am off on weekends. Your furry friend would be let out and fed before work and let out immediately after I get off and fed at whatever time they are normally fed. They will be let out as needed after I get off work as well. If I am working from home on the days booked, I will be able to let them out as they need and be able to let your fur baby play around in the backyard with my pup

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 as a nurse while also attending classes virtually for my masters. My schedule is a set Monday- Friday in the office from 830AM-430PM! I am pretty flexible and can come to your house during my lunch break if needed to let your furbaby out! I have a fully fenced in yard and my one 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 have always grown up with dogs and cats. The last 20 years I have always had an Italian mastiff by my side, and I discovered my love of animals at a very young age. I understand the importance of patience, and an eye to detail when it comes to caring for other peoples animals, and I make sure whether I animal sit for a friend/coworker/stranger how important it is that the animals receive the best care as if they were my own. I currently work in dental care 4 days a week full time, and in my other 3 days of free time I would love to spend it helping someone care for their animals (or during my work week). I have a very easy going schedule and would love to fill up more of my free time with pets. I care for my own two cats currently I love making sure I have a set list of all the expectations needed to care for an animal that is not mine. Nothing is more important to me than making sure the owners mind is at ease while away, not interrupting the animals daily routine, and making sure they are cared for in the best way possible.

“Aidan did an excellent job of watching Oscar and Luna while we were out of town. Aidan provided timely updates and took great care of our furry friends. Will definitely hire again!”

About: I won’t lie and say I’ve professionally taken care of dogs for 15 years—but I’ve taken care of dogs ever since elementary school, in my own household and in others’. I know what to look out for to prevent a dog from getting into trouble. I’ve dealt with just about all kinds of messes. And I can handle any size of dog. My main job is part-time contract work, so there are a lot of monetary and time gaps that need filled. That said, my routine allows a lot of room for pet sitting! Every dog is different, so I take that approach with each pet I look after. I follow owner’s instructions, and if I have any questions I am not afraid to ask for clarification—the dog’s/owner’s needs come first. I love giving dogs the attention they deserve (which is usually a lot), and am great at playing.
