“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.”

“They were just wonderful! Trustworthy; responsive and communicative. They sent me photos of Huckleberry every day. He looked very contented. I’ll definitely call on them again to take care of Huck the next time I leave town.”

“Mark and Vicky always take great care of Liberty and give her lots of love and attention when she is with them. I know my dog is always in the best of hands and safe when she stays with them! 🐶🐾 They send out daily updates with pictures and it’s clear to see that Liberty enjoys her time away from home!”

“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.”

“Sydney is a great communicator and stays in touch often ensuring the safety, love and care of your pet. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter. I was at ease knowing that she communicated so well and also was able to identify potential habits that may be developing. This was the best process for us and so glad we chose this route vs boarding him. Thank you for all your understanding and patience with our baby boy.”

About: I foster for our local pet rescue and do well socializing pups and adult dogs who are child friendly. Avid walker with clean, comfortable home. I work from home daily so unless I’m at a client visit, you can expect 24/7 care. Can help over nights and weekends for traveling. I have a lead in the back yard for potty breaks, access to local metro park for long walks, stair gates and a pen for crating.
“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!”

“Ozzie had a quick one night stay and absolutely moved the stay. We're from VA and had a 2 day stop to catch up with college friends. Ozzie is a 5 month old puppy and had lots of play time. When he got in the car he fell a sleep almost immediately. Thanks for taking care of Ozzie.”

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.
“Megan & her family are the best!! It was the first time I had been away from Bailey Rae overnight & was so anxious! She put my fears to rest & was beyond kind in taking such great care of Bailey! Bailey was well cared for & loved! She had so much fun she was worn out for 2 days!! I would highly recommend Megan for any pet sitting needs you may have!”

“Sarah was very thorough with details and understanding of our our elderly dog's needs. She was flexible and communicated well. Thanks for loving on our sweetie!”

“Kim is so wonderful! My dog is young and gets food aggressive with other animals, but she handled it great and was very accommodating to her needs. Her two dogs are so sweet and her home is a great environment for my dog. My dog seemed very comfortable and loved. I received plenty of pictures (which I adore). I would highly recommend Kim to care for your pup!”

“Savannah was great! She welcomed Charlie with open arms and an open heart! Couldn't have asked for a better caretaker! Five stars just doesn't do her justice...should be ten stars! Thank you Savannah and family! Kathryn and Milt”

“Only good things to say. Communicated well and promptly. Worked with my schedule as far as drop-off and pick-up. Returned our pup happier than when we dropped him off. Will definitely use again if available.”

“Sauddi took care of our three dogs; one husky and two smaller older dogs while we were on a two week vacation. She was extremely attentive, timely, and attended to our dogs. She went way above and beyond with toys and even heated blankets for the older gentleman. I cannot say enough, how amazing she was! I don’t think they missed us at all while we were gone :-) She was very mindful of their well-being and happiness, took them on walks, and sent us pictures every day. Additionally, she also looked after our chickens, and even had to capture a few that didn’t make it in the coop at night! She went beyond full service. I would definitely hire her again and will be disappointed if I can’t get on her schedule next time.”

“Jenna was so great with our dog! We really appreciate that she only takes one family at a time. She sent updates which was comforting and thoughtful. Our dog felt very welcome and comfortable. I would highly recommend her! Hoping she’s available the next time so our dog is happy and comfortable again!”

“Susan and her husband were so awesome with our Kota! It was a last minute booking and they completely put our minds at ease. They took such great care of our dog and gave us continuous”
“Thank you Danielle for watching both of our pups this time! I know they have the best time at your house and get lots of love and play time!! We appreciate you so much!!”

West Akron dog parents share their Rover experiences
Kathleen and Nathan are AMAZING!!! I feel so lucky we found them! They took the best care of our furbaby and treated him like their own! Our dog was so happy in every picture I got and looked like he was on vacation. Kathleen is a great communicator and so so so friendly

Jenna is great! This is our second time booking with her and our first overnight booking. She is responsive and sends plenty of update pictures. Our pup is a former puppy mill mom and can still be nervous about odd things but Jenna is considerate of her quirks and is willing to try a few different things to make her feel comfortable. Thank you!

Ryan and Rio were the perfect hosts for Ziggy. Ryan is very knowledgeable about dogs and expertly handled my large puppy and his antics. Communication is excellent and Ryan is very accommodating. Ziggy was well cared for and tired when we picked him up. I will use Ryan again.

We love using Wyatt to watch our boys. They always come home well cared for and TIRED. He always sends us updates during their stay, is super friendly, and can say he genuinely cares. Definitely recommend boarding with Wyatt. 5/5 stars. Will continue to board with him.

Emily was very kind and understanding that my dog has never been to a dog sitter or anything like that. Stormi is very anxious and protective, SO she is very picky with whom she bonds with!! Emily took All that in consideration And Stormi loved her & Emily’s husband 💙 I will definitely be referring Emily to anyone that needs a sitter! She even sends progress reports, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Our pups had a wonderful weekend and were very well cared for! Taylor has the perfect pup friendly neighborhood & fenced back yard. She was extremely kind and communicative. We felt extremely comfortable that our puppy and senior lady were in good hands and enjoying their stay! Thank you!!

The “three J’s” were great at accommodating my last minute request by quickly arranging a meet and greet. They showed interest in learning about Ziggy‘a needs and making sure he felt secure in a new setting. Superb knowledge and expertise in doggie behavior. I highly recommend and look forward to using their boarding services again!

Shannon and TJ were a godsend when I needed help last minute! My dog made himself immediately right at home with them and I could see he was having a great time snuggling up with them in the photos I got. And Sophie was such a treat to get to meet too - I appreciate her sharing her parents with Auggie! 🤍

Hailey was absolutely wonderful , took such good care of my dog Klaus, sent me pictures and updates the entire time I was away, Honestly I would of never felt comfortable Leaving Klaus if it wasn’t for Hailey ,she literally is amazing with him , She made my dog feel like Family and he had a blast playing with his new Pal pilot , I’ll be using Hailey again, I highly recommend !
