“Keerie was a dream! She was prompt and very understanding about my dog’s health conditions. Was able to keep me updated and sent plenty of pics to keep my mind at ease while I was out of town. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog the same way you would, book this gal!”

“Janel has been so incredibly patient with my dog Willow. Willow is very anxious and struggles to trust new people. She has spent time getting to know her and allowing her space to get comfortable with her!! Janel has been a great Rover friend for Willow and I would certainly recommend her to others, especially if your dog has anxiety issues with new people like mine. Thanks Janel!”
About: I’ve been a dog lover since about the age of 10 when we got my family dog, Shadow, a cockapoo. As a kid and while growing up, I even trained Shadow to compete in agility competitions and took him to training weekly while also practicing with him in the backyard! When I moved out, I got my own fur baby- a golden doodle named Bubity! Obsessed doesn’t even begin to describe how much I love my dog as I have a water bottle, pair of slippers, shorts and sweatshirt with him on it! I promise to treat your dog as if they’re are my own! I’m currently working part time as a nurse while also attending classes virtually for my masters. My schedule changes weekly but I usually know it about a month in advance! I am pretty flexible on my days off and and willing to work with you in order to help take care of your fur baby! I have a fully fenced in yard and my 1 golden doodle at home. I am more than happy to host your dog for play dates in our yard. I know how hard it is to get a routine set with your dog whether it be something as simple as turning the TV on before leaving the house, walking a specific route to get them to go potty or giving them a special treat when they’re going to be left alone. Whatever your routine is, let me know and I will follow it to its entirety!
About: I love Gods creatures, great and small. I am a lover of unconditional 4 legged of love! I will treat your fur family as if they were my own- unconditionally and with care! I do work a part time job, but officially retired, I love to walk, I look forward to being motivated and sharing the joy of it! I have flexibility and mobility. I can also stay in your pets comfortable environment, to make sure they have comfort and care well with them. I would favor allowing your fur family to remain in their comfortable environment rather than stressing them in my home. I am available to come to serve you and them.
About: With 15+ years of experience caring for both cats and dogs, I provide loving, dependable pet sitting tailored to each animal’s personality and needs. From energetic pups to shy kitties, I treat every pet like my own—because they deserve nothing less. I’m a clear and thoughtful communicator. I keep pet parents informed and reassured with regular updates and check-ins. I currently work from home, so I’m very flexible with morning, afternoon, or evening visits. Let me know your schedule, and I’ll be there. Looking forward to meeting your pet! Although I don’t offer my in-home services, I am able to drop in on pets at client homes! I can easily follow feeding schedules and routines to make your pet feel safe and comfortable while you’re away!
About: From birds to cats, rabbits to cockatiels, and of course we cannot forget the occasional beta fish— I love working with animals and having pets. Growing up with many large breed dogs for 25+ years, I’m very comfortable with any size animal and I’m always up for the challenge. I love spending as much time outside with my own pets, so getting some exercise and going for walks is always my priority. My goal is to make you feel comfortable knowing that your furry (or feathery) family members are taken care whether you’re gone for a few hours or a few days. I’m currently working from home so I’m readily available to make sure your pet gets full attention. I typically am up early in the morning, so starting the day with a walk outside is my go-to routine. I’m super flexible throughout the day as well. Every pet owner is different, but making sure our pets are safe and taken care of is my goal. Whether you need them boarded up or to stay off your garden— I got your back and will make sure they stick to their normal routine. This way everyone is comfortable, happy and safe!
About: I have owned dogs nearly all my life. (40 years). I currently have a Shih Tzu, named Tucker. I have groomed, trained, and rescued dogs for the past 20 years. I look forward to meeting you and your fur baby soon. I am a homeschooling mom and normally I am home with the children. We may need to run an errand, but usually can bring Rover along. I have a fenced in yard and have a male Shih Tzu, named Tucker, who adapts well with most furry friends. We go on one long walk per day (sometimes to the park!)
“Jill was Fantastic!! She did everything just as she said she would! We have a very shy cat, and he really warmed up to her😊 we’re so happy we didn’t have to worry about him.”
About: I’m a lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience. I’ve owned and self-trained three energetic Boxers and currently share my life with a sweet Weimaraner named Pilot. I’ve cared for dogs at all stages—from playful puppies to loving seniors—and understand the unique needs that come with each age. Whether it’s a walk, playtime, or just some comforting company, I treat every dog like family. I’m a teacher who is free all summer and has a flexible schedule during the rest of the year. I live in the West Akron area. Pilot is a high energy Weim who loves cuddles and play time. He has been trained my myself and my husband. I am used to walks, play, cuddles, baths, meds….everything you can imagine.

Melissa W.
“Missy is the kind of sitter every pet parent hopes to find. From our first meet-and-greet, she connected instantly with our two spirited miniature schnauzer boys, Franklin and Benjamin, and treated them as if they were her own. While we were away, Missy sent thoughtful updates and photos that captured their personalities—whether they were chasing squeaky toys or curled up for afternoon naps—so we never had to wonder how they were doing. Beyond the sweet snapshots, Missy’s professionalism shone through in every detail: prompt communication, meticulous adherence to their feeding and walking routines, and a spotless home when we returned. If you’re looking for peace of mind and pups who come home happy, tired, and thoroughly loved, book Missy. Five stars simply don’t feel like enough.”
Bridget C.
“Bridget Is a proud pet owner of two cats and treats them like royalty. Those cats are her children and she would treat anyone's else's animals with the same amount of dignity and respect. She is attentive and considerate and will make a great pet sitter.”

Carrie Haring K.
“I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Carrie for 5 years. Carrie exemplifies the word “care and compassion” by her many acts of selfless love by not only serving her husband and beautiful children, but also extending her hands and feet to friends, neighbors, strangers, and pets! She has such a gentle soul for all of God’s creation especially animals. She treats her pets with the highest regard for life and does not stop until she betters the lives of all those who know her or not, even our furry friends. I have seen Carrie in action in caring for her own pets and mine seeking the best care and treatment options when problems arise. Her gentleness and patience is one of her most admirable qualities. She holds herself accountable and responsible at the highest level for all life!”
