“Flynn had the absolute best time with Stephanie and her dogs. I got pictures and updates daily and it made vacationing so much easier knowing he was well taken care of and loved! I will most definitely be using her again!”
“Laurie is certainly one of a kind!! You can sense immediately that she is completely vested in making your fur baby her top priority!! Frequent updates and pictures through texts were so reassuring and welcomed. I will not hesitate to have Laurie sit with Sophie again! ♥️?♥️”
“Great couple to watch our pup. We wanted someone with a fenced in yard and other dogs to help socialize and tire our pup out and that’s exactly what we got. Our girl was happy to come back after the initial meet and greet and happy to book with them in the future.”
“This was Millie’s first time with Vicki. Millie can be anti-social and a bit of a diva, but she did fabulous at Vicki’s. I appreciated the pictures Vicki sent and the updates. I am already rebooking her for Millie’s next visit!”
“There are no words to describe how incredibly grateful I am for Miranda and her services and that she even exists... I almost don't even want to put this all out here because then I have to share her with even more people! However, if I didn't tell it exactly as it is, I would be extremely selfish and feel terrible because someone else could lose out on having the beautiful experience of feeling the peace of mind (.... heart, and soul) to go on a trip and truly know your fur baby is being looked after not only responsibly, but with love and care. Oh, and that they would be having an absolute BLAST and the time of their lives!! I myself was worried my pup (River) wouldn't want to come back home 😂😂!! Miranda graciously took the time to communicate with me and shared many photos and videos of River's time with her and the crew there, and I loved every single second of all of them. Her Instagram page is where it's at too and an absolute must whether your baby is staying with her at the time or not... but definitely while they're staying b/c you get all the enjoyment of seeing them doing all the (very fun) things. Well worth every single penny in every way!! I will not hesitate in any way to have River stay with Miranda again when I go on another trip and I'm actually looking forward to doing so for myself and for River. Miranda, you're amazing and you've got an amazing thing going on... and you're stuck with us forever now 😁❤️🤗”
“Renee did an incredible job watching our dog Brodie. She watched him for almost 2 weeks and treated him as if he were her own. She provided top notch care for Brodie and kept us updated with daily pictures / videos. I couldn’t recommend her enough! Your dog will be in great hands with her —she truly cares. Looking forward to booking her again!”
“I have two high energy beagles and Kelly took them on. She was even smiling when I picked them up. She kept me updated and included pictures. I will definitely have Kelly watch the dogs again and I am so grateful she was so good to them.”
“Sarah and Brandon were absolutely wonderful! They took amazing care of my dog during her week-long stay, and I could really tell they treated her like family. They sent regular updates, photos, and responded quickly whenever I had a question. It gave me such peace of mind knowing she was in great hands. I highly recommend Sarah and Brandon to anyone looking for kind, reliable and attentive pet sitters!”
“Bridget was such an amazing sitter. While I was on vacation she sent me videos and photos of my dog to keep me updated on how he was doing. Her her dogs were so friendly and playful it made dog feel right at home. He was so happy and well taken care of I will he using Bridget as my sitter anytime time I need my dog to be watched.”
“First off I have always had my fears about boarding. I have always avoided going anywhere overnight but I had a little work trip come up and so I had to find somewhere for my Eska. I was very happy with Tiffany and her communication with me while she had my girl. I couldn't be happier with the care she gave my Eska. I now feel I can comfortably board in the future and feel she will be in good hands.”
“We are so happy that Kelsi was able to watch our dog while we travelled all the way to Alaska. We were a little hesitant going so far away, but we were confident leaving her in Kelsi's care. She had our phone numbers, our vet's name and number along with our Aunt's phone number in Ohio just in case. Kelsi sent us lots of pictures and updates. It looked like Bailey had a wonderful time and it eased our fears of being so far away. We highly recommend Kelsi and will be leaving our dog in her care whenever we need her.”
“We have been booking with Heather for our 5 animals for years now. Heather and her husband watch our 4 dogs and cat once a year for our vacation. I schedule my vacations around them now because I don’t trust anyone else with my kids. I love that they always send daily updates with pictures and let me know any concerns they have (my one dog is getting old and stiff. Heather’s husband told me that he was bumping into things and might be developing some eyesight issues). They are very attentive. One year my cat and one dog got into a tiff (as they do sometimes) and Heather immediately contacted me and told me about it and told me she separated them to cool down. I have a very nervous rescue that does not like anyone but I get pictures of her laying with Heather and her husband. I have only ever seen this dog hug my husband or I in the 3 years we have had her but she hugs them. This tells me all I need to know since Ivy doesn’t trust anyone. My dogs seem to feel comfortable when I leave them there and not panicked. My cat and older dog take medicine daily and Heather gets my stubborn cat to take her medicine with no problem. Your pets are safe with them.”
“Melody is loving and knowledgeable about dogs. She truly gave our dog a home to stay in and not just food, water, and shelter. We would not hesitate to have a return booking and we would highly recommend.”
“Nicole was kind, accommodating , flexible, and our dog Peach really did well with her! We received many updates with photos which was so much fun and appreciated! We didn’t even have to ask for those updates either 😊”
“Danielle was absolutely wonderful with our dogs! She went above and beyond to make sure they were comfortable, cared for, and happy the entire stay. She was so flexible with our changing schedule, which made everything so much easier and stress-free. We could tell right away that our pups felt at home with her. We’re so grateful for her kindness and care — highly recommend Danielle to anyone looking for a reliable and loving sitter!”
“I felt extremely comfortable leaving my sweet guy in your very capable hands. I loved the pictures and updates. I will certainly look forward to another stay in the future. Highly recommend!!”
“This is the best dog caregiver in Akron. Josh is Amazing! He was very communicative, replied within a couple of minutes, he sent tons of pictures, My dog felt like home and was treated great!”

“Hannah was the perfect sitter for our three cats while we were out of town! Our boys were extremely well-taken care of and Hannah provided plentiful photos and information during her drop-ins. She was kind and very communicative through the whole process. I highly recommend Hannah for anyone looking for high-quality pet care!”
“Jayle was absolutely wonderful with our four cats. Each visit was thorough, timely, and full of care — we loved the photo updates and could tell the cats felt comfortable with her right away. Jayla handled their different personalities like a pro and left everything tidy. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, kind sitter.”
“Shelby did two drop-in visits for me. My girls were happy to see her and she met their needs perfectly. So glad I found Shelby to take care of my girls when I am away for long periods of a day.”
“Absolutely wonderful! She was so kind and patient with our shy, older cat. Kept us informed and sent photos and detailed updates after each visit. Her care and attention put me at ease while we were away. We would absolutely recommend Kristi and will ask her to visit again when we travel.”
“Lexi is kind, caring, and friendly toward our cats. Lexi is on time and follows our cats feeding schedule. Lexi follows her agency policy and sends us pictures and updates on their each time she visits. Lexi ensures are cats are feed and played with. These are cats who do not warm up to strangers and will not interact with strangers. But Lexi had the cats wanting belly rubs. Lexi has become our go to cat sitter/watcher. I will definitely use her again and again. I recommend using Lexi’s service if you want a reliable, kind and friendly cat sitter. Who can change our cat into a friendly, fun loving and belly rubbing loving cat. Our cats will miss her and so will we. Thanks Lexi !!! Carol Kaser”

“Stephanie was great with my dog. She is genuinely caring and made Dottie feel at home. Stephanie sent photos and was very responsive to my messages. I feel fortunate that she lives close by! I would highly recommend her.”
“Wubbie seemed like she was right at home! Sarah kept me updated with lots of pictures and daily walk updates! I would love to have Wubbie stay with them again in the future when needed! Thanks so much for taking such good care of Wubbie!”
“Tiffany was amazing!! My dog gets a little nervous when left at daycares but Tiffany made him feel right at home. The updates showed that he was relaxed and happy right away. Not only did Tiffany do a great job in taking care of him, she was also one of the most communicative daycares I've come across. You can really tell how experienced she is and how much she loves animals”
“Nervous about a first stay. Upon arrival I was put at ease. Lauranne took control and immediately connected with my Maltese. Within 3 hrs. I had a pic and first update of their activities. I would highly reccommend her.”
“Echo had such a great stay—we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. From the start, communication was easy and reassuring, and it was clear she was in good hands. What really stood out was how flexible he was with scheduling, especially when we had an unexpected delay getting back. Instead of adding stress to an already hectic situation, he was incredibly understanding and accommodating, which meant a lot. Echo came home happy, relaxed, tired (which is not an easy accomplishment) and clearly well cared for (honestly, I think she might’ve been a little disappointed to leave her new babysitter 😄). It’s such a relief knowing there’s someone trustworthy and kind to rely on.”
About: I've been around animals my entire life. Growing up, my family had two litters of Old English Sheepdogs. While I wasn't involved in the breeding process, I helped care for all of the puppies until they went to their forever homes, along with our three adult Sheepdogs. I also grew up around our family's three horses and have had two cats over the years. Today, I'm the proud pet parent of two Huskies—my boys, who I lovingly call my babies because they're truly part of my family. Caring for animals has always been a big part of my life, and I treat every pet with the same love, patience, and attention I'd give my own. I have a flexible schedule and work from home, which allows me to be available whenever you need dependable care for your pet. My flexible routine gives me plenty of time to provide your furry family member with the attention, companionship, and care they deserve. Pets are family too. I treat them with great care and follow any instructions provided. I can go on walks, play, have set feeding schedules, whatever is needed. I also love taking photos so sending them to clients would be a must. I want to keep everyone updated on their fur baby's experience with me.
“It was our first time leaving our boy with someone other than family and they made us feel really comfortable. We knew when we left he was in good hands. They sent us pics/videos showing how comfortable he was. Definitely will go back. Thank you!”

I take into consideration their routines and how their handlers care for them, as well as their personal history, and adapt plans to fit them.
About: I have loved animals for as long as I can remember! My family has always had multiple pets in our home at a time. I currently own a dog named Jax, and two cats named Milo and Lee! I have experience with dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperament. I have taken care of puppies, blind/deaf dogs, big dogs who like to take you on a walk instead 😅, cuddly and energetic labs, shy dogs who may hide, and I love them all the same! I am a nanny, so I also take my part in loving and taking care of their animals in their home or when they may travel! As a pet mom myself, I understand how big of a decision it is to search and trust for someone to look after your fur baby. That’s why I will always focus on communication and providing updates and pictures so you can feel at ease and comfortable. All animals are family, and I will treat your pet as if they were my own. When I come to your home, I promise to come with all the extra snuggles, belly rubs, or anything your pet may need to feel comfortable, keeping up with routines, required needs, and all different personalities. If your pet may need special medications, I also have experience with that area! I’m currently a college student, home full time for the summer! I go to a community college, so long term care is also available! Some hours may just change once I start again this Fall semester :) I care for each pet as if they were my own. My animals are my babies, my world, and I expect it is the same for all pet owners. You putting your trust in me to care for your babies means the world to me, and you won’t regret it! :)
About: I have a husky and gray cat in our home now. I specialize in safe, caring, clean and honest services. Puppies and senior animals welcome. I’m the sole provider and semi retired and like to keep active walking and caring for animals. My honesty, care and cleanliness set me apart from other caregivers you may consider I have a fenced yard for our husky and vacuum the house daily. He gets 1-3 long walks daily and I always pick up the poop and dispose of it correctly. Our cat rules the house and she gets lots of play time. We clean the litter box 2-3 times weekly and feed her dry and wet food.
About: I’ve cared for dogs for over 20 years and currently live with four of my own, so I truly understand multi-dog households, routines, and different personalities. I’m calm under pressure, detail-oriented, and reliable. During drop-in visits, I focus on safety, enrichment, and clear communication so you feel confident every time you’re away. I work at a campground, so my schedule varies by season, but I plan in advance and communicate clearly. I focus on drop-in visits and short check-ins in your home, and I’m reliable about timing, updates, and following your pet’s routine. I care for pets in your home exactly as instructed, keeping their environment safe, clean, and consistent. I follow detailed routines for feeding, medication, and enrichment, and I send regular photos and updates so you always know how your pet is doing.
About: I’ve been around Dogs all my life. I have Dogs sat for friends, friends of friends in their home in my home, taking a break from corporate world. I’m looking to connect with some more animals Dog specifically I’m professional, loving sweet. I’m someone who hugs and holds animals constantly andas much as possible. Your pet will be loved with me that’s for sure.. I do have a nine year-old professionally trained miniature schnauzer. He would always be with me or hear in my home. He will not necessarily be on walks or check-in, but overnights are boarding in my home. Definitely he’s very very sweet. I would definitely be using my computer during my visits while sitting on the couch with him and if I have any board meetings or interviews, I might also use your Wi-Fi. After many years in a professional career, I’m taking a meaningful break to focus on two things that bring me joy—writing and spending more time outdoors with wonderful dogs. My schedule is intentionally flexible, allowing me to provide dependable walks, drop-in visits, daycare, or overnight care. I believe pet parents deserve to enjoy vacations, work trips, or even a quiet evening out without guilt or worry. While you’re away, your pup will receive genuine companionship, thoughtful care, and plenty of love, so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my highest priorities. I take the time to learn each dog’s routine, personality, and preferences so they feel secure and cared for while you’re away. Whether your pup enjoys long walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or curling up for cuddles, I’ll happily meet them where they are. I also have an almost 9-year-old, 14-pound Miniature Schnauzer who is professionally trained and truly the sweetest little companion I could ask for. He has a gentle temperament, loves other dogs, and provides calm, friendly company for pups who enjoy having a canine friend. If your dog prefers people over other dogs, I’m equally happy to give them one-on-one attention and will always respect their individual needs and comfort level. I believe in what I call “cuddle care”—gentle affection, belly rubs, calming massages, talking to dogs, and even singing to those who enjoy the extra attention. If your pup isn’t a snuggler, that’s perfectly okay too! I’ll always respect their boundaries while making sure they feel safe, loved, and at ease. My goal is for every visit to be filled with kindness, patience, and positive experiences so you can enjoy your time away with complete peace of mind, knowing your furry family member is being cared for like one of my own.
About: Growing up, we always had multiple dogs that were my responsibility to care for, and I loved every moment of it! I have spent the last several years helping my family and friends with watching, caring for, and walking their dogs when need - I'm the go-to person for them because they know their fury friends are in good hands with me! I have two cats of my own (one male and one female - both spayed/neutered), but I do not have any dogs of my own. I work full time - typically Monday-Friday away from home from 8:30amuntil between 3-5:30pm. Occasionally I work a few hours on a Saturday or Sunday, but this is the typical. If your home is near my work, I usually am available to do walks or check-ins on my lunchbreak. I have a small, non-fenced, yard that works well for quick outside potty breaks but live in an area that is good for dog walks. I have a decent sized home, so any size dog would feel comfortable playing inside. All pets are welcome on the couch - especially for cuddle time - and I have a spare bedroom where they would be welcome in the bed. I have space to hold dog crates if your dog is more comfortable in their own space for sleep.
About: I have years of experience caring for dogs and other pets and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals.

I am currently a full time online college student and volleyball coach, so I will have plenty of time to attend to your pets! have a flexible routine that gives me time for feedings, walks, drop-in visits, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I prioritize clear communication and will make sure your pet receives the care, attention, and routine they are used to while you’re away. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. I provide fresh food and water, walks or playtime, litter box or waste cleanup, and plenty of attention based on each pet’s personality and needs. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages for peace of mind. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, clean, and welcoming environment where pets can relax and feel at home. I closely supervise them, follow all feeding and care instructions, and make sure they receive plenty of exercise, enrichment, affection, and rest. My goal is to treat every pet as if they were my own and ensure they are happy, comfortable, and well cared for.
About: I am and have been vegan since I was a child. I’ve always had a deep love for and towards animals ever since I can remember. I like to be in animals energy and presence. Even when giving “care” it’s enjoyable and pleasing for me to offer that for your pets. I bring a calm and peaceful vibe to any situation. I want to be a safe and comfortable space for your animals. ~ If you book the house sitting option, I am only available to sit throughout the day. No sleepovers. I currently am a part time student studying vet tech with a fine arts minor! I have a great amount of free time and flexible schedule to accommodate “different” jobs and care.

“This was Millie’s first time with Vicki. Millie can be anti-social and a bit of a diva, but she did fabulous at Vicki’s. I appreciated the pictures Vicki sent and the updates. I am already rebooking her for Millie’s next visit!”
“There are no words to describe how incredibly grateful I am for Miranda and her services and that she even exists... I almost don't even want to put this all out here because then I have to share her with even more people! However, if I didn't tell it exactly as it is, I would be extremely selfish and feel terrible because someone else could lose out on having the beautiful experience of feeling the peace of mind (.... heart, and soul) to go on a trip and truly know your fur baby is being looked after not only responsibly, but with love and care. Oh, and that they would be having an absolute BLAST and the time of their lives!! I myself was worried my pup (River) wouldn't want to come back home 😂😂!! Miranda graciously took the time to communicate with me and shared many photos and videos of River's time with her and the crew there, and I loved every single second of all of them. Her Instagram page is where it's at too and an absolute must whether your baby is staying with her at the time or not... but definitely while they're staying b/c you get all the enjoyment of seeing them doing all the (very fun) things. Well worth every single penny in every way!! I will not hesitate in any way to have River stay with Miranda again when I go on another trip and I'm actually looking forward to doing so for myself and for River. Miranda, you're amazing and you've got an amazing thing going on... and you're stuck with us forever now 😁❤️🤗”
“I have two high energy beagles and Kelly took them on. She was even smiling when I picked them up. She kept me updated and included pictures. I will definitely have Kelly watch the dogs again and I am so grateful she was so good to them.”
“Bridget was such an amazing sitter. While I was on vacation she sent me videos and photos of my dog to keep me updated on how he was doing. Her her dogs were so friendly and playful it made dog feel right at home. He was so happy and well taken care of I will he using Bridget as my sitter anytime time I need my dog to be watched.”
“First off I have always had my fears about boarding. I have always avoided going anywhere overnight but I had a little work trip come up and so I had to find somewhere for my Eska. I was very happy with Tiffany and her communication with me while she had my girl. I couldn't be happier with the care she gave my Eska. I now feel I can comfortably board in the future and feel she will be in good hands.”
“We are so happy that Kelsi was able to watch our dog while we travelled all the way to Alaska. We were a little hesitant going so far away, but we were confident leaving her in Kelsi's care. She had our phone numbers, our vet's name and number along with our Aunt's phone number in Ohio just in case. Kelsi sent us lots of pictures and updates. It looked like Bailey had a wonderful time and it eased our fears of being so far away. We highly recommend Kelsi and will be leaving our dog in her care whenever we need her.”
“We have been booking with Heather for our 5 animals for years now. Heather and her husband watch our 4 dogs and cat once a year for our vacation. I schedule my vacations around them now because I don’t trust anyone else with my kids. I love that they always send daily updates with pictures and let me know any concerns they have (my one dog is getting old and stiff. Heather’s husband told me that he was bumping into things and might be developing some eyesight issues). They are very attentive. One year my cat and one dog got into a tiff (as they do sometimes) and Heather immediately contacted me and told me about it and told me she separated them to cool down. I have a very nervous rescue that does not like anyone but I get pictures of her laying with Heather and her husband. I have only ever seen this dog hug my husband or I in the 3 years we have had her but she hugs them. This tells me all I need to know since Ivy doesn’t trust anyone. My dogs seem to feel comfortable when I leave them there and not panicked. My cat and older dog take medicine daily and Heather gets my stubborn cat to take her medicine with no problem. Your pets are safe with them.”
“Melody is loving and knowledgeable about dogs. She truly gave our dog a home to stay in and not just food, water, and shelter. We would not hesitate to have a return booking and we would highly recommend.”
“Nicole was kind, accommodating , flexible, and our dog Peach really did well with her! We received many updates with photos which was so much fun and appreciated! We didn’t even have to ask for those updates either 😊”
“I felt extremely comfortable leaving my sweet guy in your very capable hands. I loved the pictures and updates. I will certainly look forward to another stay in the future. Highly recommend!!”
“This is the best dog caregiver in Akron. Josh is Amazing! He was very communicative, replied within a couple of minutes, he sent tons of pictures, My dog felt like home and was treated great!”
About: I offer in house boarding So your pet doesn’t have to sleep on a hard floor and be in a kennel. Your pet will be treated as though they are one of my own. If they sleep with you they sleep with me! They are my first priority! Come on out and do a meet and greet! Pet boarding is my biggest priority. Your pet will have all the attention, fun time and proper care they need during their visit no matter how long their visit is. I care for the pets I sit as though their own owner is caring for them. If they have food and water in front of them, 24/7 that will be something that they will have at my facility if they don’t and they have a different regiment that is something they will have in my facility if they have toys, beds, medication at their home that is what i will provide for them as well. If they are, or aren’t allowed on the furniture that is what i will do If they sleep in your bed with you at night they will sleep with me at night. If they go on multiple daily walks, that is what i will do. Your pet will be cared for just the way you care for them.
“Jessica was so kind to our (somewhat difficult) beagle and calmed all our nerves while we were away. She sent great updates and pictures. We were very very appreciative of how kind and thoughtful she was to our dog!”
“I was a little nervous to leave my dog with a stranger but Corey proved to be a kind and considerate person who truely likes dogs. I liked the fact that he was calm and helpful with my "thinks she's a princess" little dog. Communication was great and he has floors without rugs. I will definitely ask for him again.”
