“Mark and Vicky are remarkable! If there was a rating of 10, they would have it. Whatever your concerns are for your pet's stay, they have it covered. Their communication is A+ Their "meet and greet" is like a family homecoming. You know that they have thought of everything. Their home is impeccable. They immediately make your pet feel at home. All said, Mark is a "dog whisperer." He's kind and gentle. He will make sure your pet is both rested and, where appropriate, active. Your pet will get belly rubs, play fetch, and enjoy nice long walks. Mark and Vicky have a nice back and front yard and they accompany pets to both. They allowed our baby to sleep with them and made sure she was safe and sound. They opened their home and their hearts to her, and we appreciated it very much. We couldn't have asked for more. Aside from dog sitting, these are the nicest people you will ever meet. They are the definition of "salt of the earth." We are so glad to have met them and very much appreciate their passion to care for small dogs.”
“I cannot express enough how grateful I am for the wonderful care you provided for my dog, Luna! From the moment I dropped her off, I could tell she was in great hands. You took the time to understand her personality and needs, which made all the difference. Luna had an absolute blast during her day with you! Thank you once again for giving Luna such a wonderful day. I will definitely be reaching out for future dog-sitting needs, and I highly recommend your services to anyone looking for a caring and responsible sitter!”
“Mark and Elizabeth took great care of our 2 year old yellow lab. Daisy had a wonderful stay. They went above and beyond to make Daisy feel comfortable and help her get used to her temporary home.”
“Kylie did a fantastic job with our Golden Retriever. She sent us multiple pictures every day, bathed him before we picked him up, and sent him home with a new toy. She is wonderful and kind, and we would definitely use her again!”
“Megan was a God-send for me. I needed a sitter to watch Gracie while my husband and I were on our honeymoon. 3 weeks before the wedding I had some car issues that resulted in added stress to me. Megan worked with me on getting things booked, and knowing that having Gracie taken care of w was so relieving during that time. Her kids were amazing with Gracie and we loved getting daily updates on our sweet girl. We will definitely use Megan and her boys for Gracie in the future. Thank you sooo much for loving our girl.”
“Hailey and Justin did a wonderful job taking care of my dachshund for the weekend! They sent pictures and updates and I could tell he was having a great time. Would definitely recommend and book them again! Thank you!!”
“Wonderful introduction to in-home boarding for my anxious and often spicy one. Brisket was part of the family! Beautiful home with large fenced in backyard. Clear communication with photos and updates. It is clear that my dog was well taken care of for the days he was with Jenna and her family.”
“Marie was really great to work with and took great care of our puppy, Mocha! We were very hesitant to leave our puppy for an extended period of time but after meeting Marie, we felt at ease. Marie took care of our 4 month old puppy for about a week. She gave us frequent updates, including photos and videos, and very reachable. Mocha made many new friends! We will definitely use Marie in the future!”
“Our baby Buddy is our family. He's our son. We rarely leave him with anyone, but I need you to know that Sarah did an amazing job. She made us feel comfortable, she communicated with us sent photos, videos of our furry love one. She put our mind at ease. Kept us updated on his activities. Job well done. Sarah is a very kind-hearted person. I would definitely utilize her services again and again.”
“My 16 year old Chihuahua Molly had a wonderful stay with Anita and her family. Her dog, Fern, is sweet and mellow and quickly became Molly's BFF. Anita is patient and positive in dealing with older doggy issues. We really appreciate that Molly has such a comfortable place to stay when we are out of town. :)”
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!
“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.”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life growing up, I know how important they are to us and it can be very stressful to find the right, safe situation for them when we want to travel and live our lives. I am very used to caring for things compassionately as I have been a registered nurse for 6 years now. I currently am in EMT school two nights a week and transitioning from full time ICU bedside nursing to pediatric home care nursing part time while in school through the fall. I have an empty spare room for boarding, and wood floors that can handle any accidents that may arise without worry, I can also very easily keep my own cat separate from those who do not wish to socialize.
“Carrie was awesome! She communicated quickly and let me bring my dog for a visit before I booked with her. She sent updates everyday and she really pampered our pup! I highly reccomemd her!”
“This was the second time we had Warren watch our pup and once again, we couldn’t be happier. We received multiple pictures and Ruthie looked so happy in all of them. Leaving our pup is tough, but knowing how well Warren will take care of her makes it so much easier.”
“Tyler kept good care of Scout when I had to go out of town. Scout doesn't care for stairs and Tyler was very patient with him. Tyler was the only sitter I reached out to that replied. I would not hesitate to have Tyler watch Scout again.”
About: I’ve had dogs growing up my entire life! From family dogs, to extended family, we’ve had Lhasa apsis, shitzus, pit bulls, boxers, and many in between! I have a love for all animals and hope to some day open up my own dog day care / boarding facility! While I work full time, someone (whether it’s my fiancé or myself) someone will be home every 4 hours to check in and give potty breaks! Our schedules are pretty flexible and our pup keeps up on our toes so we’re always ready for anything. I have a fenced in yard, and 1 friend loving pup who is fully crate trained. While I understand crating doesn’t work for everyone, it works for our pup and family! We have multiple crates of all sizes in our home that are available for use if you need it! The pups will sleep upstairs with us, whether in a crate or on a dog bed. We also have a basement area designated for inside play and activity. They’ll always have an eye on them and will be treated like our own!

West Akron dog parents share their Rover experiences
Tyler was exceptional. This was our first time using Rover for our 10-year-old Catahoula Leopard Dog and my sister’s senior Chiweenie. We usually rely on family, so we were nervous, but Tyler’s great reviews and quick communication put us at ease. He sent thoughtful updates and photos. Our dogs were shy at first and skipped a few meals, but he was patient and gentle, and by the end of the stay they had clearly warmed up. His care took one big worry off our wedding weekend. We’d book him again without hesitation. Thank you again, Tyler!!
My girl Pippi absolutely loved going to grandma Pat’s. She played so much with Lexi that when I got her home, she took an hour and a half nap, went outside and now is napping on my lap. I would highly recommend Pat with your fur baby. She is excellent. I only used her once and already love her.
Megan did an amazing job with Apollo! Apollo felt right at home and so loved ❤️ The daily pictures that I got every day of Apollo was “icing on the cake” and I felt more at ease seeing all the fun he was having every day. I think Apollo was a little sad when the stay was over.
I used Rover for the first time and had a wonderful experience. Carrie was better than I could have hoped for. She agreed to a quick meet prior to boarding to be sure everything would be a match. I instantly knew that she was a good person with a very nice family. I was able to travel for over a week without any worries and she sent photos regularly. Our pets are our family, so that feeling is priceless. She took care of my Teddy as if he was her own. Thank you Carrie and family for being such honest and caring people!
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!
Jared was very accommodating and responded timely to any questions I had. My dog had a great time at Jared’s! I have an older dog who had a few special needs and Jared did an awesome job with him. Jared was able to give my dog a few short walks during the day and he loved that. I really appreciated all he did for my little guy!
