“Sauddi was amazing with our sweet little Indie! You can tell that she absolutely cares for the dogs. She sent us wonderful pictures and videos, took Indie on trail walks and little adventures, and her communication was perfect! We will be a returning customer. Sauddi thank you so much for the loving care you gave her, and for taking our worries away during our wedding weekend.”

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 is very friendly and understanding when it came to my highly energetic dog. I loved how she was so calm the entire time my dog was just on 100000%. Her family is also very sweet and obviously caring of my dog. Will definitely book again!”

“Nathan & Jenna are amazing hosts. Kora was not over excited during her stay but is missing her host & friends when back home. Nathan was sharing frequent videos for Kora daily and also, picked/dropped her off.”

“I can't say enough wonderful things about Kim!! She was the perfect fit for my 8yr old Mal-Shi, Ella. She took such good care of my anxious little girl, giving her lots of love & comfort, as well as paying attention to the details of her care. She absolutely treated her like the queen that she is.”

About: Being in veterinary medicine and a first responder, I handle any situation very calmly. I am certified in many types of life saving measures especially for animals. I am also a huge animal lover. I have a lot of free time around my schedule and will have a ton of time to play with your fur babies! Caring and providing enrichment and fun for your fur babies is my goal! I have a fenced in backyard and automatic litter boxes! When not in my home, I am open to any of your rules and accommodations :)
“I cannot put into words how much I appreciate Megan. We were so nervous about leaving Libby for the first time. She put our minds at ease instantly. She did a meet and greet and then sent updates every day that we were gone. I couldn’t be more happy! I felt that Libby was very well taken care of and we will definitely use Megan again. Thank you so much for everything!!!”

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!

“So glad I found Angelina to watch my Labradoodle, she had never had experience with one before and they can be a handful, anxious, attention seeker, busy…she did great! He loved staying there and all family members were great with him. She stayed in contact and sent pics, highly recommend her, I was able to relax knowing he was in great hands!!”

“My original sitter canceled the morning before my trip. I was frantically trying to find a new sitter and Kathleen let me book quickly without hesitation. I am so thankful for that! I recieved messages and pictures while away and I could tell Myles had a great time and was well taken care of. Thanks again!!”

“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!”

“Melissa was an amazing dog sitter! She was very flexible with our schedule and responded right away when I reached out looking for someone to watch Bruno. Communication was excellent from start to finish, and she kept me updated with photos while we were away, which gave us so much peace of mind. Bruno also had a great time playing with her dog—they got along wonderfully! It was obvious he was well cared for and comfortable during his stay. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Melissa again, and she’ll definitely be one of my first choices the next time we need a dog sitter. Highly recommend!”

“Kelly was so great with squishy! She took such good care of her and sent us pictures every day. She made sure to follow everything! My puppy even cried when we were leaving Kelly’s house after picking her up!”

“I'm very happy with Heather. I think our dog had a great time with her and her family. He was very relaxed and happy when I picked him up. Heather kept me updated everyday with pictures/video and a description of how he was doing, which I really appreciated. I will definitely use her again in the future. I think my dog even misses being at her house a little bit.”

“We had a great experience with Lauren. She got right back to us when we needed a sitter right away. (My son brought his dog with him for a visit from out of town. She was a puppy and a big dog. Jordan is a Yorkie and was agitated due to the large dog who just wanted to play. ) We were able to take him over right away. She made him feel comfortable right away and sent us pictures during his visit to assure us he was doing well. I would highly recommend her for anyone who needs a sitter!”

“My dog is usually shy, easily scared, and slow to warm up to new people, so I was shocked at how quickly he bonded with Deanna during the meet and greet. We’ve used drop-in sitters before, but this was our first time trying boarding, and I immediately felt confident leaving him with her. Deanna introduced him to the other dogs in such a calm, skilled, and safe way, and her dogs were so gentle that my pup seemed to adjust much more easily than I expected. When I picked him up, he looked completely relaxed, as if we hadn’t been apart at all! Which made me so happy and relieved. I would absolutely book with Deanna again. Highly recommend!”

Sarah was wonderful with our super anxious pup and our complicated schedule. We were in Akron for a week (kid's sporting event) so didn't get to meet her before we dropped our dog off, but Sarah spent a lot of time trying to get to know our dynamics and needs over the phone. She was wonderful at "following the dog's lead" in the transition time and finding ways to calm her during the week including calming music, aromoatherapy and lots of treats. We enjoyed the videos (with her narration), photos and texts that she regularly sent and appreciated her transparency, communication, and hard work to ensure that our dog's stay and our comfort was her top priority. Thanks Sarah!

Caitlin was so great with my dog and made her feel at home for the weekend. Her care and attention to detail were obvious from our first meeting. She sent updates the entire weekend which gave me the peace of mind to enjoy a weekend away. Can’t recommend her enough and will be reaching out to her again!!

Hannah is a caring sitter who makes Elsa feel at home. Elsa is always happy to see Miss Hannah. Hannah keeps Elsa active and secure while she is away from us and always goes the extra mile by sending me pictures and updates. I highly recommend Hannah for your pet sitting needs.

The “three J’s” were great at accommodating my last minute request by quickly arranging a meet and greet. They showed interest in learning about Ziggy‘a needs and making sure he felt secure in a new setting. Superb knowledge and expertise in doggie behavior. I highly recommend and look forward to using their boarding services again!

Shannon and TJ were a godsend when I needed help last minute! My dog made himself immediately right at home with them and I could see he was having a great time snuggling up with them in the photos I got. And Sophie was such a treat to get to meet too - I appreciate her sharing her parents with Auggie! 🤍
