I am currently a full time student and hoping to make pet-sitting my part-time job. I am available on weekends and most school days! I will provide more information on my schedule if you choose to work with me! I take great care to ensure that your pets are as comfortable as possible in my care! If you choose to hire me, I will have you write out specific instructions to ensure that I follow the same routines that your pet is used to!
About: I have had 7 pet dogs in my life, as well as 2 cats, 3 rabbits, and I have experience helping family friends with their animals from guinea pigs to cats and hamsters. I love and have a passion for animals, so why not let me help you take care of your pets? I have years of experience with my own pets, and I have recent (in the last 3 years) puppy experience! I helped train my dog Charlie, Teddie, as well as Addie! My current pups are all English Yellow Labrador Retrievers and I love them! I have no biases against any breeds ( even though Labradors are my personal favorite)! I’m excited to get to meet you and your pets! Please contact me with any questions you have. Let me help you love your pet! I currently work full time as a vet assistant at a vets office. I’m familiar with pet medications though I might not know all, it will not be hard to help care for your pet. Learning about their routine and keeping that as close to normal as possible is very important to me. It can be hard to have their family away and it is important that staying home is to help keep part of their routine normal, so to me keeping them on schedule and keeping there day as if you were there is important. Though I don’t live on my own so I’m not able to bring pets to my home I look forward to helping you with caring for your pets!

“Couldn’t be more pleased with the care Stephanie and husband provided for Reese. She sent us pictures and kept us updated the whole time. We will be using Stephanie many more times in the future.”
“Excellent experience! Both of my dogs were well taken care of, and my 1-year-old came back calmer around other dogs after all of the playing and socializing. Highly recommended, and I certainly will book with Tiffany for my next trip.”
“Miranda took such great care of my GSD! She sent over so many photos and he looked like he had a blast. Super easy communication too! You can really tell Miranda’s love for all animals. Moose will definitely be visiting again💛”
“Bridget was so easy to coordinate with and did a fantastic job taking care of Watson for a 3 night visit. Really great communication before and during the stay. Her dogs were super friendly and welcoming of Watson in their space right from the start which gave me good peace of mind while he was there. He literally didn’t want to leave when I picked him up so I think that says it all :) Thanks Bridget!”
“Some of the best dog sitters around! I truly don’t think you’ll find anyone more invested in keeping your doggy safe, cared for and loved. You MUST book with Vicki!”
“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!!”
“Tom and Tolley and the whole family are great! This was our dog’s third stay (2nd boarding overnight) and we were a little apprehensive initially, because our dog has separation anxiety. Our dog did very well and was very excited to go back. Tom and Tolley were professional, reassuring, caring and receptive to our dogs needs. She was treated like one of the family and had a great time.. received daily updates (text, photo, video) with feedback during her stay. It was a very positive experience overall for us and our dog. It was nice to get away and not worry and feel comfortable that our dog was in good hands and we could trust them to provide and care for her. 100% positive experience.”
“Jessica deserves 10/10 stars. She was amazing with Bailey. She was able to make our wedding special by bringing Bailey to our wedding ceremony. We definitely plan on using Jessica again for our boarding services in the future.”
“Fantastic stay ! I left my little Pomchi, with Brooke for an extend stay weekend. The quick meet & greet was super and just what Stinger needed to be comfortable & excited with the drop off. Brooke sent photos and included updates of their interactions and adventures. Stinger was bright eyed, cheerful, and well taken care of when I picked her up. I was very pleased and will certainly engage Brooke for future stays. Thanks Brooke!”
“Scout had the best time for his overnight stay. He was loved and cared for like he was part of their family. We got pictures of his adventures throughout his stay. Whenever we are back in town and need a sitter we will reaching back out. ❤️”
About: Hi! I’m Danielle, a stay-at-home mom to our beautiful baby girl. Before parenthood, I worked at a veterinary clinic specializing in fear-free handling, surgeries, emergencies, grooming, and advanced medicine—giving me hands-on experience with all kinds of animals, from dogs and cats to reptiles, small mammals, birds, and aquatics. We recently said goodbye to our beloved dog after a battle with cancer, and the quiet house has us excited to open our home for dog boarding again. With my vet background and a passion for compassionate care, I provide a loving, low-stress environment tailored to each pet’s needs. As a full-time mom, I’m home during the day to offer plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and enrichment. I prioritize meet-and-greets (completely free!) to ensure we’re a great match for you and your pet before any booking. Whether your dog needs medication support, post-surgery monitoring, or just lots of cuddles and fun, I’d love to care for them like family. Feel free to reach out with any questions. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friends! I work from home, therefore I am free 24-7 to help take care of your animals and help meet your needs while they are in my care. I have a fenced in yard, and I do ask that your pet is friendly with children if you want to board them at our house.
About: My name is Sandra. I live with my husband and three kids. We love animals! We’ve had Blaze (our husky) since he was a puppy. We love going on walks and on adventures. We have a fenced in yard. My husband and / or I would be watching your pet when one of us is home and not gone for long periods of time. We have a fenced in yard for your furry loved one to play in and a dog of our own to play with! Let me know what you need to make sure you’re comfortable with your loved one in our care!
“Our pups had amazing time! Makenzie was so helpful through our experience and loved the pups up. We were impressed by her quick communication and willingness to send pics and updates. Can’t wait to book again!”
“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!”
“Jenna was absolutely amazing. Such a pleasure to speak with, went up and above for our dog! She sent not only pictures but videos and updated me as requested. She did an absolute wonderful job with her and I can't wait to go back on vacation and hire Jenna again! I can't thank her enough for all she did for us”
“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.”
