“Nathan and Jenna are truly "dog people". This is our second experience booking with them. We felt so comfortable and at ease leaving our dog with them the first time, we knew we had to come back again. They kept us updated with awesome pictures and videos for our entire ten days away, helping to keep us at ease knowing our pup was happy and well. Our dog is our baby, and at no point were we feeling worried about him under Nathan and Jenna's care. We heard of Nathan and Jenna from a friend, and are so grateful! It is a little over an hour drive for us, but it is well, WELL worth it. If you are looking for someone who will take in your dog, and love them like their own - this is the place for you!”

About: All K9 Solutions is fully insured and licensed here in Akron OH. I've been training dogs for 6 years and professionally for 4 years. After I worked for reputable training companies, one here in Akron area as the head trainer, I decided to open my own company called All K9 Solutions. I grew up with dogs, and have experience with cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, horses, chickens, and ducks as I used to manage a farm as well. I personally network all over the US with other dog trainers. One of my recent travels has been to Kansas to help host a working dog workshop with a few small departments. I have two Belgian malinois who I strive for their needs to be met daily. From mental stimulation to physical stimulation while giving them a “job”. My youngest is 3 years old and does many sports (PSA, AKC sports, and has been dabbling in odor work), and my oldest is 10, he’s a retired military explosives K9 who served on the boarder of Jordan up until 7 years old. Both the sweetest dogs you’ll ever meet. All of my dogs have off leash obedience training that is kept up with. I have a background in dog training, boarding, and daycare; from puppies all the way to seniors. I strive for knowledge with dogs as there’s always new information to learn and dogs aren’t cookie cutter. I’m also an STSK9 MVP student for advanced obedience. I’m very passionate about teaching others about dogs from genetics and breeds to how their psychology works. My business hours run from 7am-10pm. My availability is open from the afternoon to night time, this way all morning routines are completed, walks, potty breaks, feeding, training sessions etc. All dogs are boarded in a home environment instead of a facility. This way your dogs aren’t as stressed being away from you, and they can comfortably enjoy their vacation too. All dogs are kenneled to ensure safety (not investing anything they shouldn’t, no free roam 24/7 with other client’s dogs you don’t know, and they have their own space to decompress). Since the yard isn't fenced in, all dogs must be leashed with a properly fitted collar with a longline when going outside, a harness, or a slip lead. However, a good peaceful walk with all the smells is always more mental and physical stimulation for the dogs than a fenced in area with limited access. Reactive dogs and fearful dogs are welcome as I have years of experience with them, and training them to grow confidence and obedience. I also have experience with special need's animals. Loud dogs are welcome too. If your dog(s) show healthy body language and do well with other dogs, my two malinois are gentle beings and always love a play mate. Minka especially, she follows the other dog's pace and reads their body language. I do ask that you leave your vet information with me and emergency vet information as well for an emergency contact if ever need be. Better safe than sorry. I also do ask for a second choice of contact incase the primary owner is unable to be reached. All dogs must be up to date on vaccines and bordetella for boarding and daycare. Safety precautions are always taken. For the well being of the dogs and myself. Please note that I do require all important behaviors are made aware of by the owners before hand and I will notify owners upon any concern of sickness or bite risks. I send updates each day as well or will add photos to your rover card.
“I can't say enough about how wonderful Mark and Vicky were with our pups. Every day of our vacation we received pics And updates on how they were doing. Even giving extra attention two some medical issues that my one pup has. These people are very nice and genuinely care about dogs. I would definitely use them again. I can also easily see that my dogs really liked them. That was important to me And comforting to me while we were away. Thank you so much Mark and Vicky, you guys are awesome!”
“Kim is so wonderful! My dog is young and gets food aggressive with other animals, but she handled it great and was very accommodating to her needs. Her two dogs are so sweet and her home is a great environment for my dog. My dog seemed very comfortable and loved. I received plenty of pictures (which I adore). I would highly recommend Kim to care for your pup!”
“Sauddi took care of our three dogs; one husky and two smaller older dogs while we were on a two week vacation. She was extremely attentive, timely, and attended to our dogs. She went way above and beyond with toys and even heated blankets for the older gentleman. I cannot say enough, how amazing she was! I don’t think they missed us at all while we were gone :-) She was very mindful of their well-being and happiness, took them on walks, and sent us pictures every day. Additionally, she also looked after our chickens, and even had to capture a few that didn’t make it in the coop at night! She went beyond full service. I would definitely hire her again and will be disappointed if I can’t get on her schedule next time.”
“Lindsay was an amazing sitter for my baby Theodore. She was attentive, patient, sweet, and also gives updates on how he was doing the whole time. I got daily pictures of him and it made me really happy. I will book her again and again. Highly recommend.”
“Wow!! Me and my wife, and my dog are glad to have found this family! Very fun and attentive and caring for your animal! My dog loved his stay I’m sure. Definitely recommend”

“Keerie is really nice and dependable. I had forgot to book our regular sitter , and I contacted Keerie. I was very nervous as I didn’t know her. She took the time to meet and greet on a very short notice. My cats really liked her - one of my cat is super neurotic, but she was surprisingly not hiding or running away from her. Keerie is v professional and easy to work with.”
“Brianne is the best. She did an amazing job keeping my Bombay so happy while we were always. All of the photos, not s and quick messages really helped us to know our kitty was safe and getting the attention he needed to stay calm and comfortable while his “Mom” was away.”

“Laura took amazing care of our two cats while we were away! She was in communication at each visit, sending pictures and updates to keep us in the loop! When we got home, our cats seemed happy and content, and everything was clearly well taken care of. We really appreciated her taking such good care our boys, and would definitely book again in the future!”
About: 🐶I’ve taken care of our Family Rottweiler, Mini Schanuzer and Elderly Shitzu mix. I’ve also had my Chihuahua since I was a teenager. With that being said, I am very experienced with dogs of any size from pup to senior 🐕🦺. I work from home which makes it easier to spend time with the pups as well as keep a close eye on them. This is extremely convenient if your fur baby has separation anxiety! I have a fenced in yard and two Fur babies to keep your Pup company during their stay! I’ve also got a large crate if needed.
“Audrey was amazing and we loved having her watch our two cats. The boys immediately warmed up to her and hung out while she was at our house. We have one cat who does not like many people but even he enjoyed his visits!! Would recommend.”
“After a meet and greet with Tasha, we knew our kitties would be in good hands. We went on a short trip and had Tasha take care of our two kitties and they were definitely well loved. She left a thorough note and kept me up to date everything I need to know about my fur babies. We will be reaching out to Tasha in the future to watch our cats!”
“Zoey was wonderful, both my cats warmed right up to her even my shy boy! She was super communicative and did a great job with my cats I will definitely rebook with her and would absolutely recommend her as a sitter!”

Perfect for high energy dogs - University Of Ohio Akron
“Sarah was incredibly thorough and made sure that my dog felt comfortable in a new space! Thank you so much for your time and giving Lou Lou an incredibly fun experience.”
“Our dog has gone to Zachary’s several times for doggy daycare and he loves it! Each time he comes home happy and tired from playing with his dogs. Would definitely recommend!”
“Jenna did a great job taking care of Rosie. She came home happy and had a great time playing with the other small dogs. I am so grateful that she only takes smaller dogs. Rosie is afraid of big dogs and I know that she won’t be frightened while she is in Jenna‘s care.”
About: My name is Holly. I am an animal lover! I grew up on a farm, so I am familiar with care of many types of animals. I have never not had a dog in my life. I have a flexible schedue, own my own home, work remotely full-time , and am very dependable. When house sitting, i do prefer stays less than 4 days, but willing to consider longer stays. I'm looking forward to meeting and caring for your furry loved ones! Why I love dog sitting I have had at least 1 dog my whole life. I've had breeds ranging from Chihuahuas, to Boxers, to Bull Terriers. Dogs are a blessing and I love having them in my life. I will administer pills and liquid drops, but not shots. I work remotely, so I am fully available to your pet. No children or anyone else in the house, so if your dog or cat needs a relaxing stay, I can provide that.

“First time using River and we picked Marie to watch our pup he's usually a bit anxious to be left somewhere strange but he did great. She was great at sending pictures and videos of his stay. He was worn out but appeared to have had a good stay.”
“Pat was amazing with our dog Lucy. Our daycare had to go over until the morning due to getting home super late and she was very accommodating. Lucy had a blast playing with a new friend! We will definitely be back. Thank you!”
About: My parents bred dogs, so I grew up learning how to guage a dogs personality and adjust to their needs. I am comfortable with the anxious, the high-energy, the easily triggered, the "aggressive breeds", etc. I am confident in administering medication as needed to your animals. I went to school for zoo-keeping. Providing enrichment and taking great care of your animals is something that I take pride in. If you have any other animals I am more than happy to include them in my care- I have experience with them all, almost. I currently work alongside my husband. We are renovating a few homes in the area, therefore I can usually adjust my schedule and am available almost 24/7. I have a reliable Chevy Cruz that is fondly accustomed to dog hair. You will receive updates from me often, but feel free to request additional updates. I am very communicative and quick to respond. You can count on me being observant, responsible and proactive with your animals at all times.
About: I’ve loved dogs my entire life, and now that I’m recently retired, I have the time to give them the attention, care, and companionship they deserve. I treat every dog like part of the family—whether we’re going for a walk, playing fetch, or just relaxing together. With a calm, patient nature and a flexible schedule, I can focus fully on your pet’s needs and routines. You can rest easy knowing they’ll be safe, happy, and loved like one of my own. I am recently retired and am available all of the time. I currently have two small dogs of my own and watching an additional dog would be no trouble at all. If you dog stays with me, they will be treated just like my own pet. I am able to walk them, feed them special diets, or administer oral medication. I am home almost all of the time and can give them the attention they need.
About: I’ve had animals my whole life. I don’t have any right now. My boy passed away a year ago so Would love to watch your baby for a while! I would need some advanced notice before watching your fur baby. Most weekends are open. I work part time so have a lot of free time but must check with my schedule. I have a big yard not fenced so would require a leash to walk your dog. Live on a dead end street a quiet area. I have no small children no animals of my own so your pet would have freedom in my home. And they would be allowed on the couch !!
“Catherine and Sean are very accommodating with sudden changes in my schedule. She sends regular updates and pictures about how my puppy is doing. She ensures my pup is mentally and physically stimulated. Weretlucky to use their services!”

About: I have owned cats my entire life, and I have been raising my own for the past 7 years. Animals have always had a special place in my heart.

I have a calm energy and can read your pets body language very well. Perfect for if your furry friend is more on the anxious side! I will bring patience and understanding to any type of personality.
“Nathan did a great job with my new rescue dog who was scared and timid of a stranger in the home. He was patient and able to win him over to make a new friend. Will definitely use Nathan in the future.”
About: I have always had a dog or some type of pet! They very much are like family. I currently have 3 cats on of which who has adhd and has to take meds every day. I do have the ability to run around in dogs to get their energy out! I have a pretty flexible schedule so I can move anything around, especially if it’s a walk for the morning! If it’s afternoon, if I know within a decent timeframe, I can always make other arrangements to be able to walk your four-legged family member! At this time I am not offering in home pet sitting. I will however ensure that all safety measures that the pet family has in place are applied. For walks I always make sure to stop walking if no side walk is available when a car passes.
About: I provide a one on one Level of care and attention for your pet. Spending quality time with the pets is very important to me I currently work part time but have a flexible schedule. I am avaliable for Boarding at my home as well as drop in visits daily. I have a Freindly and playful Golden Retiever I like to give my full attention on your pet to make the stay/visit a enjoyable experience.
“Awesome communicator who arrived promptly and maximized her time with our dog on each walk. He arrived home pooped, in the best way. Will definitely utilize Bri in the future!!!”
“I had a great experience with Emily walking my dog, Rocket! She let me know when she arrived, sent me photos, and provided a detailed summary of how the walk went. Because the conditions near my house meant Rocket could not walk a long distance, Emily spent the remainder of the time allotted for the walk working on some command training - she was very thoughtful in asking me beforehand to confirm what commands I was working on with Rocket. I'll be happy to book with Emily again!”
About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover and proud dog parent to my 7-year-old lab/german shepherd/golden retriever mix, Sophie. With over 10 years of pet sitting for friends, family, and coworkers, I’ve built a reputation for being responsible and attentive. I work full-time in marketing and own my home, that includes a fenced-in backyard for plenty of playtime. I’ve volunteered at animal shelters and have family members and friends who work in veterinary care, so I’m well-equipped to handle any situation that arises. My heart is big for all animals, and I’ve even helped reunite lost pets with their families on more than one occasions. From kittens and puppies to seniors, I can’t wait to care for your furry companions! I’m currently working full time, but I work 5 minutes from my house and am available to check on pets throughout the day when in my care. Additionally, my fiancé works from home, so there will almost always be a responsible adult in the home to look after fur babies. The company I work for allows us to work flexible schedules and we are able to adjust our in/out time for our work days whenever needed. I have a fenced in back yard and currently have one pet in my home, Sophie. Sophie has grown up living with other dogs in our home (up until a few years ago), since she was a puppy! Shes very friendly and patient with other dogs usually, big or small, but a very high energy level dog might not be a good fit for our home. Sophie is great with seniors and medium to low energy dog/puppies. She is great about knowing when another animal wants to play or if they’d rather have their space. There is plenty of space to crate your animals in my house as well. I have a consistent feeding/walking/medication routine with Sophie, and will provide your pets with a reliable routine as well to help them feel as little of a disturbance to their regular schedule as possible. I’m an attentive person and will send you updates and photos of your fur babies often. There is an emergency vet clinic less than 6 miles away from my house in case of any emergencies.
“Marie & Jorge love my Rockie like their own. It gives me a lot of ease when traveling and / or away from him all day. I love getting pictures of him during his walks and when he is at day care making friends. I highly recommend them. 😊”
About: I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to senior dogs needing extra patience and support. I’m attentive, gentle, and genuinely love building trust with every pet. What sets me apart is my ability to adapt, whether your dog needs high-energy play, slow walks, or just comforting company. I treat every pet like family and always prioritize their safety, happiness, and routine. Pet care fits easily into my routine because I’m very flexible and can adjust my schedule around your pet’s needs. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, or overnight stays, I’m able to be available when it works best for you and your pet. I enjoy making time for animals. It’s something I genuinely look forward to. In my home, pets enjoy a safe, relaxed environment with plenty of playtime in my fenced yard and companionship from my own friendly, playful dog. I stick to your pet’s routine as closely as possible, feeding, walking, and downtime so they feel comfortable and secure. In your home, I make sure to keep things clean, calm, and consistent. I always respect your space and care for your pet like they’re my own, giving them attention, exercise, and lots of love.
About: I’ve spent my whole life surrounded by animals in some form or another! I’ve been the family + friends pet sitter for as long as I can remember, everything from dogs to cats to ferrets to snakes; it is always such a joy. I know how important your pet is to you, and I would be honored to be given the opportunity to take care of them and show them the love they deserve! Keeping your pet happy and in good care is my goal, always. From walks, to playtime, to just keeping them company, to anything else (i know each dog’s personality is unique and that they each have different needs, and I will treat them as such), I will always be happy and willing to do what I can. I am lucky enough to have a pretty flexible schedule, so depending on what your needs are, I am happy to do whatever I can to make that work! Keeping your pet safe is my top priority. I know that what that means specifically will always depend on each person and their fur baby. However you want your little friend taken care of, that is what I’ll do.
About: I currently have a flexible schedule and looking to help relieve some pent up pupper energy or drop in for a hangout during those long days. Do you have a pup that needs a walk or a fall hike? Are you traveling this Holiday season? I have some Holiday availability for boarding. I am currently between jobs and wanting to explore areas where my passions lie. My greatest joy are my pets and I’d love to help spoil yours. I am highly flexible during the weekdays. I have a fully fenced in yard as well as everything your pet may need. I have a variety of crate sizes, dog beds, bowls, leashes, and litter boxes. I have many baby gates allowing the ability to separate animals if needed. I personally allow my dog to free roam and sleep in bed but able to accommodate all guests.
About: I'm the guy everyone asks to pet sit because I never say no! I'm reliable, attentive, and patient and never met an animal I didn't like. I'm a freelance artist which gives me loads of flexibility when it comes to scheduling. Short notice is fine. Life throws curve balls sometimes, and I'm here to help. I abide by the golden rule, and treat all animals as if they were my own family. I pay attention to details and follow all specific instructions for our special friends!
About: I’ve owned dogs and cats my whole life and I’ve been taking care of other people’s pets since I was in high school and have experience with cats and dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. My goal is to provide dependable care and regular updates so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. I’m a stay at home mom with a husband who works remote so I’m very flexible! This allows me to provide consistent care, frequent potty breaks, walks, and lots of attention throughout the day. Your pet will receive plenty of supervision and companionship while in my care. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow each pet's routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any special instructions provided. I always keep pets supervised, ensure doors and gates are secure, and pay close attention during walks and outdoor time. I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for while you're away.
About: I love animals & enjoy tending to their needs. Whether I have to trick them to take meds, walk or play fetch, I love it. I usually clean houses in the mornings, but I always make time for pets! I offer drop in visits, play time, feedings, & overnight stays. I prefer to watch pets at their home so they feel comfortable & don’t have to endure too many changes. They’ll be right at home.
About: I’m available for round-the-clock care this summer! I am a music teacher during the school year but I love taking care of animals as well. I can care for any type of animal, I’m always down to learn about new and interesting pets too! I’m available almost 24/7 this summer since I’m a teacher and have summers off. I’m hoping to get plenty of walks in not only for the animals but also myself! I am able to provide consistent care around the clock if needed. I can follow directions for feeding, medication administration, and bathroom needs. I love walking dogs and hanging out with cats!

We felt so comfortable and at ease leaving our dog with them the first time, we knew we had to come back again. They kept us updated with awesome pictures and videos for our entire ten days away, helping to keep us at ease knowing our pup was happy and well. Our dog is our baby, and at no point were we feeling worried about him under Nathan and Jenna's care. We heard of Nathan and Jenna from a friend, and are so grateful! It is a little over an hour drive for us, but it is well, WELL worth it. If you are looking for someone who will take in your dog, and love them like their own - this is the place for you!”

About: All K9 Solutions is fully insured and licensed here in Akron OH. I've been training dogs for 6 years and professionally for 4 years. After I worked for reputable training companies, one here in Akron area as the head trainer, I decided to open my own company called All K9 Solutions. I grew up with dogs, and have experience with cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, horses, chickens, and ducks as I used to manage a farm as well. I personally network all over the US with other dog trainers. One of my recent travels has been to Kansas to help host a working dog workshop with a few small departments. I have two Belgian malinois who I strive for their needs to be met daily. From mental stimulation to physical stimulation while giving them a “job”. My youngest is 3 years old and does many sports (PSA, AKC sports, and has been dabbling in odor work), and my oldest is 10, he’s a retired military explosives K9 who served on the boarder of Jordan up until 7 years old. Both the sweetest dogs you’ll ever meet. All of my dogs have off leash obedience training that is kept up with. I have a background in dog training, boarding, and daycare; from puppies all the way to seniors. I strive for knowledge with dogs as there’s always new information to learn and dogs aren’t cookie cutter. I’m also an STSK9 MVP student for advanced obedience. I’m very passionate about teaching others about dogs from genetics and breeds to how their psychology works. My business hours run from 7am-10pm. My availability is open from the afternoon to night time, this way all morning routines are completed, walks, potty breaks, feeding, training sessions etc. All dogs are boarded in a home environment instead of a facility. This way your dogs aren’t as stressed being away from you, and they can comfortably enjoy their vacation too. All dogs are kenneled to ensure safety (not investing anything they shouldn’t, no free roam 24/7 with other client’s dogs you don’t know, and they have their own space to decompress). Since the yard isn't fenced in, all dogs must be leashed with a properly fitted collar with a longline when going outside, a harness, or a slip lead. However, a good peaceful walk with all the smells is always more mental and physical stimulation for the dogs than a fenced in area with limited access. Reactive dogs and fearful dogs are welcome as I have years of experience with them, and training them to grow confidence and obedience. I also have experience with special need's animals. Loud dogs are welcome too. If your dog(s) show healthy body language and do well with other dogs, my two malinois are gentle beings and always love a play mate. Minka especially, she follows the other dog's pace and reads their body language. I do ask that you leave your vet information with me and emergency vet information as well for an emergency contact if ever need be. Better safe than sorry. I also do ask for a second choice of contact incase the primary owner is unable to be reached. All dogs must be up to date on vaccines and bordetella for boarding and daycare. Safety precautions are always taken. For the well being of the dogs and myself. Please note that I do require all important behaviors are made aware of by the owners before hand and I will notify owners upon any concern of sickness or bite risks. I send updates each day as well or will add photos to your rover card.
“Lindsay was an amazing sitter for my baby Theodore. She was attentive, patient, sweet, and also gives updates on how he was doing the whole time. I got daily pictures of him and it made me really happy. I will book her again and again. Highly recommend.”
“Wow!! Me and my wife, and my dog are glad to have found this family! Very fun and attentive and caring for your animal! My dog loved his stay I’m sure. Definitely recommend”
“Cassie did a wonderful job taking care of our dog this weekend! It was his first time with her and she made him feel comfortable and at ease! We will definitely use her again in the future!”
“Kate was an amazing sitter! She made the entire process seamless, providing regular updates and adorable pictures of our dog. I highly recommend her and would absolutely book with her again!”
“Sydney and her boyfriend completely spoiled my dog with attention during his stay! I loved receiving all of the pictures and updates, he looked like he was right at home with them. We are so glad we found her and are looking forward to using her again in the future!”
“Megan & her family are the best!! It was the first time I had been away from Bailey Rae overnight & was so anxious! She put my fears to rest & was beyond kind in taking such great care of Bailey! Bailey was well cared for & loved! She had so much fun she was worn out for 2 days!! I would highly recommend Megan for any pet sitting needs you may have!”
“Paula and Bill (and Marty!) were absolutely wonderful. When another solution fell through at the last minute, they quickly stepped in to care for Loki during a family event with very short notice. Their warm and caring personalities put me completely at ease, and their home is lovely and welcoming. The attention to detail they showed in caring for him was exactly what I needed during a stressful time. They turned what could have been a difficult situation into an absolute relief. Highly recommend! Thank you!”
“Warren was great. Felt comfortable leaving my dogs with him. They liked him too. I could tell at the meet and greet. I liked how he took pictures and sent to me while he was dog sitting.”
“Isabel was a gem ! She’s an obvious dog lover who took Lily on daily walks and to the dog park. She texted and sent photos daily which helped me immensely. She has a huge fenced in backyard so there’s plenty of room for the dog(s). Isabel was a great fit for us and I would use her again.”
“Gail was amazing! I am always nervous leaving my pup but she calmed my nerves and sent pictures during his stay! She was flexible and gracious when my travel did not go as planned and I needed to extend my booking. I will be using her services again! Thank you, Gail!”
“Keith & Rebecca took great care of my pup who has been very anxious/stressed in other boarding situations. He came home relaxed and at ease. Will book again in the future!”

“Shannnon was amazing with my boys! I’ve never really left them with anyone but family and she made me feel like they were her family! She sent lots of photos and updated me throughout their stay! I would be happy to let my dogs go stay with her any time I needed! The dogs didn’t want to come back home when I picked them up!”
