Dog Boarding in Twinsburg

Providing loving professional pet care!

About this sitter:

Hi,

My name is Jean, and my husband Russ and I are Professional Pet Care Providers and pet owners just like you. We have been married over 25 years, and have been caring for pets for all of that time. Over the years we have cared for dogs, cats, horses, rabbits, guinea pigs, reptiles and other exotic pets.

We know how difficult it can be to have to leave your pets in the care of others. That's why we started Pet Joy - pet sitters. Pets have always been a major part of both of our lives and an integral part of our family. We have a deep love and passion for animals and their health and wellness.

We care for ALL of our client's pets with the same responsibility, love and attention we give our own pets.

We are insured and bonded so that your home is safe and secure and well cared for just like your pets.

Jean & Russ

Why I love dog sitting

We have always had dogs our whole lives, and we both love them very much. We have both worked with dogs for the last 26 years of our marriage. We have taken many training and first aid classes as well as caring for so many dogs over the years.

About my yard

We have a large 2 acre back yard that is completely fenced in with a 5.5 foot fence. It is mostly grass with several large trees for shade.

We also have a small fenced in side yard for quick potty time.

My experience administering medication

Yes and we have experience medicating with pills, eye ointments, ear drops, and giving injections.

We specialize in TEACUP, TOY, MINIATURE, SMALL AND SMALLER SIZE LAP DOGS (Must be Under 20 LBS fully grown). ... EVERY puppy parent receives multiple photos and stories of their puppies activities ...

My husband and I have loved and cared for dogs for over 25 years, including over 6 years of rescue work and foster care which included caring for tiny puppies. We understand "dog speak" and recognize stress, anxiety, when they're missing you, when they want a treat or attention and when they want snuggles and love …

In our home all dogs are treated like puppies and given lots of hugs, snuggles, and treats (which often include dog friendly fresh veggies, homemade puppy cookies or high quality treats). We are happy to take both young puppies and special needs dogs and are very familiar with the needs of diabetic dogs and their medications, blind and deaf dogs and dogs with special diets.

We have a large gated kitchen, a large gated deck and a large fenced and flowered area right off the deck, which dogs love because they can come and go whenever they want. We have other options for our puppy guests as well ... which include running around in our good sized back yard, (on lead lines to keep them safe). We also walk them around our very safe and dog friendly neighborhood twice a day ... our puppy guests are never left alone or unattended outside ... We are very careful, inside and out, with the safety of your little family members and treat them with love and care just as you would … and as we treat our own. We spend many lovely mornings with the puppies having coffee, tea and treats on the deck in the spring, summer and fall.

We have 2 resident puppies, both Min Pins … “G” who is 12 years old who came to us very ill and not expected to live, and “Bears” who is 10. They are fun loving, playful and enjoy having “company” both human and puppy. They greet everyone with a lot of noise and excitement but once here, they happily share laps, beds and toys with anyone who wants to play, snuggle or sleep.

One of us is home nearly all day, every day. There are always puppy's on our laps or sitting on our large oversize chairs with us throughout the day. Kenny, and all the dogs, usually take a nap in the afternoon, they all pile on either the recliner in the family room (or on our big chairs in the kitchen) and nap together. After dinner we all spend the evening in the family room playing, snuggling and watching TV.

We make sure the dogs go out a minimum of every 1 to 2 hours and if your puppy is a “puppy pad” puppy, we have the perfect place for that as well. We will make sure sleeping and eating arrangements fit your dog’s needs … and that they get plenty of attention, hugs, treats and love while they are here with us at their home away from home … We want them to have as much fun on their vacation as you have on yours ...

Hi!

I have a fenced in yard with plenty of room for running and play. I have 4 dogs of my own, 2 Labradors and 1 Pug and an English Bulldog. Your dogs will always be loved and played with.

About this sitter:

Hi!

I'm a college student with a passion for animals. My house is very pet friendly! We treat our babies as if they really were babies! Your pet will enjoy their stay. Only requirement is that they get along with other animals. My dogs are updated on all their shots and neutered. They love to play with others!

Why I love dog sitting

I have owned dogs my entire life. Currently I have a fenced in yard with amply space to run and play! I know how much your dog can mean to you, as mine mean everything to me. If you are familiar with dog training, my idol is Cesar Milan and our dogs are raised on his philosophy when it comes to training. They are a bonded group and very friendly to other dogs. If your dog is shy, an afternoon with my pups will make them happy, confident, and tuckered out!

- This website should have a question that says-- Why choose me?

So I'm going to answer that for you.

I am a really outgoing person and my love of animals is apparent to anyone who meets me. My dogs are my life, and my life is scheduled around them. My schedule is varied so I am not gone more than 4 hours at a time during the day. On the weekends I am always home. My fiance and I serve in the military, so I believe in holding myself to the highest standard there is - Excellence. I LOVE technology and the ways it can help us communicate. I will send pictures, videos, and even offer you the chance to facetime/skype with your beloved dog(s). Call or text me anytime and I will always get back to you ASAP. I chose to be a rover sitter because I think our house, neighborhood, and attitude is right for it. My fiance and I genuinely LOVE dogs. We have a very large yard and it's fenced in, so no worries! We also love to take our dogs to local dog parks which can also be an option for you if you are comfortable with it, especially because the weather is FINALLY breaking! We do prefer to do a meet and greet before booking the stay, and I like to exchange more personal information face to face. So give us a shot, come let your dog have additional companions during their stay, and go home with a tired, happy dog!

I will also be uploading a video introduction soon so be sure to look for that.

Thanks!

About my yard

We have a 1/2 acre lot with a fenced in back yard. There is plenty of room for running, fetching, and playing.

My experience administering medication

Yes! Please just give me direct written instructions. We will also talk about this during our meet and greet.

We currently have 2 dogs ourselves and enjoy every minute we have with them. We take them on a 2 mile walk everyday (when the weather is decent) and we have a large fenced in backyard for them to play in. Our dogs names are Jack and Jill and they are Pomeranians. They love to play and play and would enjoy playing with other dogs. We don't offer any discounts.

Hi ! Nicole & Dave here (:

WE WANT TO PLAY WITH YOUR DOGS!!

We have 11 furbabies of our own (9 dogs, 2 cats)(Zeus: Weimaraner/Doberman), Louie:(White shepherd/husky/border collie,boxer), Jax: (Siberian Husky), Nova(Mixed), Phoenix(Siberian Husky), Pumba(Siberian Husky), Pepper(Siberian Husky), Nadia(Siberian Husky), Sydra(Siberian Husky), Sarabi(kitty cat), & Ninja “Ninni”(kitty cat). They are all very friendly/playful so hopefully your pup is too. We love to take our dogs on hikes/walks through the metroparks when ever we get the chance, so we would be willing to add your pup to our adventure pack too as long as they have permission from you. We would be happy to work on basic commands with your puppy/dog during their stay as well, but we are NOT licensed trainers. Our large backyard is fully fenced in(half privacy/half chain link- 5’-6’ tall) and has lots of tall trees to provide shade in the summer. I am always outside when the dogs are outside to prevent any escapes, fights & the potential ingestion of any foreign objects like sticks or small stones. I have experience working with all types of dogs, but Siberian Huskies are my specialty(we also breed them). We believe that all pups coming into our care should be treated as if they are our own(with lots of love!). We want your pup to feel like they’re on vacation while you’re away, so we will make sure to spoil them with lots of fun activities(mental/physical stimulation), love, & treats (if allowed).Large crates are available for overnight stays(if needed); you are always welcome to bring your own crate. We are willing to take in non-crated dogs as long as they are okay with cats & have good house manners(must also be crate trained). We have the ability to separate any pups who may not get along. We can also keep cats separate from the dogs if necessary. At least one of us will be home with the dogs all day with the occasional errand here & there(we never run errands during daycare). Dogs may be crated during the day for at most 4-5 hours but will still receive appropriate exercise on those days. Our house has easy access to the highway & is about 15 minutes from Cleveland Hopkins Airport. Lets set up a date for daycare to see if our four legged friends are a good match!

ALL DOGS MUST:

(Please be prepared to show proof)

*Be on flea,tick,heartworm prevention(no natural/over the counter remedies)

*UTD on all shots(bordetella is mandatory)

*Be at least 3 months old.

*Females must be spayed by 1yr.

*Intact males must be neutered before getting accepted to stay here with the exception of puppies under 6 months. — Approved males must be neutered by 1yr.

**HEALTHY TREAT TO MAKE AT HOME**

—Frozen Blueberry treats—

- 1 pack of blueberries

- 1 spoon full.. or two or pure honey

- 1/2C of yogurt

- 1/2C-1C of peanuts.

Purée & blend ingredients together. If it’s too thick, just add some more yogurt. Use an ice cube tray or a mold to form your treats. Place trays in freezer for at least 1 hour or until needed. Blueberries can be substituted by using other healthy dog-safe fruits/veggies.

We hope your furry loved one(s) love this recipe as much as ours!

I have been watching my friends and family dogs overnight while they go on vacation for a weekend or a weeks vacation for a couple of years now. I’m pretty flexible in my work schedule so I have time to walk dogs to get them out of the house for exercise and go to the bathroom, check up on dogs in their own homes as well while owners are away and have a home to share for those who would rather me keep a dog overnight for a day or as needed. I will love and care for your dog and treat them like family while the dog(s) are in my care overnight or just walking and playing with them during the day as requested.

Hello-

Thanks for viewing my profile and giving me a chance to tell you a bit about myself and why I would like to meet and take care of your dogs and cats.

I love animals and grew up surrounded by many different types of animals. As far as dogs go, we had the whole gamut of breeds-from Great Danes and Malamutes, to Pomeranians, as well as many mixed-breeds. I was taught to treat them with kindness, respect and dignity and have passed that principle on to my children as well.

Cats came into my life a bit later, but have a special place in my heart with their quirky personalities and antics. I adopted my first cat in college and am a fan ever since!

Along with my childhood experiences, I was a pet sitter during my college years so have a great deal of experience taking care of other peoples pets, as well as the experience of having my own pets.

I am responsible and reliable, and am able to make myself available on a somewhat flexible schedule. I am able to provide you with references and reviews.

I am always looking forward to meeting and taking care of new animal friends, and will make sure they receive the attention and love they deserve. I hope to have the opportunity to meet you and your special family, and to take care of them when you are not able to be there.

With best wishes-

Sandra

As soon as I could walk I have been taking care of animals. 30 years later, I am now a Registered Veterinary Technician and Reiki Master Practitioner with over ten years of in-clinic experience so I have confidence working with animals of all behavior backgrounds, sizes, and species.

My family and I invite your furry loved one to join our active, friendly, all-creature-loving crew for overnight or daycare stays. Currently, I am a full-time stay-at-home mom so your pet will never have to be alone. We provide a doggy bed and breakfast at our quiet country home where your four-legged friend will enjoy our large fenced-in backyard, ample safe streets for walking, green spaces for playing, tennis balls for days, and an inviting couch to snuggle on.

I am a retired elementary school teacher who lives in a nice home in Cleveland Heights with a back yard. I have plenty of free time and love all types of dogs! I also own my own dog, a 5 year old schipperke who is neutered, very sweet and loves other dogs. I would enjoy taking care of other dogs at my home and am totally capable of doing so since I am a dog lover and have had many different breeds throughout my life.

About this sitter:

I'm a retired elementary school teacher who has plenty of free time and love in my heart -- Your dog and I would get along great!

Why I love dog sitting

My entire life I've owned dogs. All different types of breeds, from Welsh Corgis to Pit Bulls to Patterdale Terriers -- The list goes on. I love all types of dogs and treat them like my children!

Meet my pets

I have a 5-year-old Schipperke who is neutered, very sweet and loves other dogs. I also have a 15-year-old tabby cat who is very reserved and chooses to keep her distance from other animals. She is not aggressive.

About my yard

My backyard is fenced in with a few gaps in the fencing, which is why we use a dog run which allows us to let the dog play in the backyard while attached to a leash so they won't run away! Theres plenty of space in the yard for the dogs to do whatever they want!

My experience administering medication

Yes, I have been administering medication to my own dogs for 30+ years!

Hello

We are Allie and Tom. We have been with Rover (Doggy Vacay prior) for 4 years and have had numerous guests stay with us. We have had pets all our lives and love them. We live in Akron, in the Chapel Hill area and have two dogs of our own. We love to spoil them with attention and love. We have had pets all of our lives growing up and as adults.

We have a fenced in back yard that is kept locked. The dogs have free range of the house and the yard when they want to play outside, weather permitting. We promise to take care of your loved one as one of our own and make every effort to make them feel at home.

You can feel confident that your dog will receive the attention, love, safety and security they need, so you can have peace of mind.

We look forward to hearing from you and would love an opportunity to take care your loved one(s).
