“Mark and Vicky were great with my first time visiting puppy Pickles. Communications were timely and accurate. My dog appeared to have a great time there. Felt that they looked after her well. I would definitely use again. Thanks!”
“You will be so happy you picked Stephanie!! She has watched both our dogs 2 times. The last time was for 10 days. When we picked up our dogs after the 10 days, our 11 month old Rottweiler actually guarded her from us for about a minute before he realized who we were. She must have loved him a lot for him to forgets us so quickly. LOL! She sent lots of pics and updates. Her husband also loved the dogs and they loved him. I will keep going back to her until she can’t do it anymore”
“Thanks so much for the polaroid, treats, plushie, giftcard and for Malbecs Bath!! And thanks so much for being the best dog sitter for her!! She loves you all so much!! Is a blessing to have someone like you in a country where we have no family at all!! We feel so confident by leaving our baby with you”
“I was extremely happy with the care that Gail provided my dog, Cinnamon. She sent daily pictures and updates which helped ease the worry of leaving Cinnamon for the first time. I will definitely be booking with Gail again in the future!”
“Fern will definitely be going back to Vicki’s again. I never had any doubt about my dog being cared for and loved while staying with Vicki and her family. I would 100% recommend her for dog sitting.”
“Kathleen and Nathan took excellent care of our dog. We were passing through the area on our way home from the east coast and needed a place for Dilly to get some exercise and play before we continued our trip. Dilly enjoyed playing in their large, fenced yard and had fun playing with their kids. We couldn't have asked for anything more. Dilly was happy and relaxed and ready to go the next day.”
“This was our first time with Makenzie for our lab/pit bull mix, Liily for a week and she surpassed all expectations! An unexpected bonus booking with her is her fiance, Jared who is equally attentive and compasionate in his care giving. They are both incredibly kind people and seem to have a true passion for caring for our pets. Makenzie's responses were immediate and she gave daily photos and updates which was incredibly reassuring. Our senior dog has her physical challenges with unexpected vomiting and diarrhea and her fear of thunderstorms and they both took this in stride and seem undaunted. I relaxed more and more each day of our vacation seeing the care and attention that Lilly was receiving. I was afraid Lilly wouldn't want to come home! I can't recommend them highly enough. Thank you again, Makenzie and Jared! Jenny G.”
“10/10 recommend! Very communicative and accommodating. Our Rockee looked like she was enjoying her stay in every picture and video we were sent. We will definitely be using Nathan & Jenna over any day care or other boarding option.”
“Cassie kept me informed about how Rocky was doing at least once a day while we were away. She sent me pictures that showed he was truly enjoying his time with her & her family. My heart was full knowing he was safe and loved while we traveled. Our boy can be very needy, so for him to actually be loved on & not just thrown in a cage for the majority of the time, means a lot to us. He got to play all weekend with her dogs as well, which I know he really enjoyed. We appreciate everything Cassie did for Rocky and we look forward to using her again for any future travel needs! 🥰”
“Heather was friendly and easy-going. She updated us with pictures and a short summary of how our dog was doing. When we picked him up she said he was a "perfect house guest".”
“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!!”
“Jess took exceptional care of our older Bernese Mtn dog, Gracie. Just as her background on Rover indicates, Jess is well-versed in special care with administering meds and handling our dog who has some issues with weakness. Her care goes beyond those two qualities! Our dog loved her stay there as to how great she looked when we picked her up! Jess gave us a daily photo update and stayed connected with us about an issue Gracie had, which was quickly resolved. Wonderful peace of mind. We can't say enough great things about Jess. She is the best!”
“Thank you Deanna and Maui for letting Remy hang out with you guys!! It’s so nice to not have to worry about how Remy is doing when we’re out of town! Deanna takes such good care of Remy and he has a blast playing with her dog too!”
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.
“The dogs were very happy and well taken care of. I scheduled a day so the dogs could get to know them and feel comfortable before our vacation. They seemed comfortable and happy when we came to get them. We are definitely using Darlene again.”
“Summer was very flexible and accommodated unforeseen circumstances. She really treated Teddy like her own. He appeared to be right at home. Thank you for taking care of him.”

“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.

“Jamie is the BEST! She has done about 20-25 drop in sessions with my cat and everything goes so smooth! I can trust her in my house and my cat adores her (and she’s afraid of everyone lol). But even better she brings in all my packages and mail. If I could give her 20 stars I would! Thanks Jamie!”

I also have experience volunteering at my local cat shelter, Kitten Krazy, where I would assist with basic vet care such as feeding formula or giving oral medication to kittens/older cats, brushing the cats as needed, feeding cats with special dietary needs and restrictions, cleaning litter boxes, giving eye drops, and offering lots of extra love and calming support to fearful/shy and formerly abused cat intakes. I have also volunteered to pet sit my friends and families’ cats when they are away on vacation or business trips! I am a huge cat lover and connect very well with all different cat personalities!

“Connie is amazing! She made sure to keep me updated and send pictures while I was at work. She is easy to work with and helps accommodate your needs. I work long hours and I felt comfortable leaving my dog with her. She worked on breaking bad habits and teaching my dog how to walk nicely on a leash. Will definitely be contacting her again for future needs.”
“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!”
“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: Hello, my name is Ashley. Over the past several years I have owned many dogs of all shapes, sizes, medical conditions and personalities. I have owned two pugs, Stanley and Missy, a Rottweiler, Kalia and an English Mastiff, Roxy. I currently have the cutest wigglebutts on the planet. I have an olde English bulldogge named Willow Jean and a doberman named Malik. I do have a full time job, but have some flexibility that I am able to assist other dog parents from time to time. I understand what it's like being out of town, working late or just needing someone you can trust to care for your animal when you are not able to. Looking forward to meeting your fur baby! I'm currently working, but have flexibility with my schedule. I can drop in, do walks or a mixture of both. We will figure out what works best. My dogs are my babies. My children always say the dogs are my favorite kids 😁. I will care for your animals as I would my own, with love and kindness.
“Sylvia has been watching my two dogs for a couple months now every week. She is so flexible with my schedule and so helpful and understanding. Both of my dogs are high strung and one is a puppy and the other is only 2 years old. I highly recommend her. She takes the time to try and train my youngest throughout the day some commands which makes it so easy when I don’t have the time with long days at work. I continue to use her and hope you do too!!!”

My home is in a quiet neighborhood filled with other lovely dogs. My cat is very nonchalant and typically minds his own business. Additionally, my daughter is only with me half time so that usually won’t pose any issues.

“You will be so happy you picked Stephanie!! She has watched both our dogs 2 times. The last time was for 10 days. When we picked up our dogs after the 10 days, our 11 month old Rottweiler actually guarded her from us for about a minute before he realized who we were.

“Fern will definitely be going back to Vicki’s again. I never had any doubt about my dog being cared for and loved while staying with Vicki and her family. I would 100% recommend her for dog sitting.”
“This was our first time with Makenzie for our lab/pit bull mix, Liily for a week and she surpassed all expectations! An unexpected bonus booking with her is her fiance, Jared who is equally attentive and compasionate in his care giving. They are both incredibly kind people and seem to have a true passion for caring for our pets. Makenzie's responses were immediate and she gave daily photos and updates which was incredibly reassuring. Our senior dog has her physical challenges with unexpected vomiting and diarrhea and her fear of thunderstorms and they both took this in stride and seem undaunted. I relaxed more and more each day of our vacation seeing the care and attention that Lilly was receiving. I was afraid Lilly wouldn't want to come home! I can't recommend them highly enough. Thank you again, Makenzie and Jared! Jenny G.”
“10/10 recommend! Very communicative and accommodating. Our Rockee looked like she was enjoying her stay in every picture and video we were sent. We will definitely be using Nathan & Jenna over any day care or other boarding option.”
“Cassie kept me informed about how Rocky was doing at least once a day while we were away. She sent me pictures that showed he was truly enjoying his time with her & her family. My heart was full knowing he was safe and loved while we traveled. Our boy can be very needy, so for him to actually be loved on & not just thrown in a cage for the majority of the time, means a lot to us. He got to play all weekend with her dogs as well, which I know he really enjoyed. We appreciate everything Cassie did for Rocky and we look forward to using her again for any future travel needs! 🥰”
“Heather was friendly and easy-going. She updated us with pictures and a short summary of how our dog was doing. When we picked him up she said he was a "perfect house guest".”
“Jess took exceptional care of our older Bernese Mtn dog, Gracie. Just as her background on Rover indicates, Jess is well-versed in special care with administering meds and handling our dog who has some issues with weakness. Her care goes beyond those two qualities! Our dog loved her stay there as to how great she looked when we picked her up! Jess gave us a daily photo update and stayed connected with us about an issue Gracie had, which was quickly resolved. Wonderful peace of mind. We can't say enough great things about Jess. She is the best!”
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.
“The dogs were very happy and well taken care of. I scheduled a day so the dogs could get to know them and feel comfortable before our vacation. They seemed comfortable and happy when we came to get them. We are definitely using Darlene again.”
“I am so pleased with my dog sitting experience with Karin! We were really comfortable during the meet and greet. Karin took the time to ask questions about Sonnie, and Sonnie and Chubb interacted and played like they had already met. This was my first time leaving Sonnie with her, and 2 minutes after I left she sent me a note and picture, putting me at ease immediately. She communicated and sent pictures a few times a day. She goes above and beyond and I will definitely use her services again (if/when she is available)!”
“The perfect dog sitters. I was skeptical of the app and leaving my pup for the first time but Kevin and Roselie were amazing. Duke was well taken care of and I even got picture updates throughout the day. Duke loved them and they loved Duke. Would definitely board with them again!! Such a nice family.”
“We had our 2 puppies stay with Zachary and it was absolutely wonderful! They were playing and looked so happy the moment they got into his backyard. Will absolutely book with him again and highly recommend his services!”
“Kelly and her family were absolutely wonderful with my sweet Myka. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing that my pup was being loved in her home as much as we love her in ours. She lives in a beautiful neighborhood with minimal traffic. Kids and families everywhere was perfect Would ABSOLUTELY use agin!!”
“Andrea was great, she is knowledgeable about dogs and worked with our dog. She was sitting a couple other dogs at the same time and the day I dropped her off , she introduced Daisy to a dog of a similar temperament so Daisy would have a friend. Also we were later than expected getting home and when I asked Andrea said we could pick Daisy up the next morning instead of the night we planned to pick her up.”
