About: I work at a doggy daycare and boarding facility! I have been working there for 2 years and am a shift lead. I also care for the neighbors dogs when needed. I am currently in school from 9-12 on weekdays. The only other thing on my schedule is my work which varies on days from 2-8 about three times a week. I have a large grass fenced in backyard to allow your dog/s to run around in. I can also spend as much time in your backyard or outside with your dog as you would like me to.

About: I grew up with multiple animals: dog, cats, and birds. Any pets I interact with will be treated like they are my own. I currently have 2 cats and 2 dogs. I work full time but I’m working remote frequently and have a lot of flexibility that would allow me to be at your disposal when you need it most. I know how important is to keep a routine. I live by my calendar and keep a regular schedule that is easy to work around. I am used to walking both of my animals at the same time (80 lb lab and a 35 lb hound mix).

About: I have been pet sitting since I was 10 years old! I absolutely love animals, especially dogs and have grown up in a dog household (my family currently has three dogs of our own-a lab/aussie mutt, a mini-aussie, and a doodle). I have experience caring for puppies, as well as basic training. Additionally I have experience caring for senior animals as well as dogs with special dietary requirements. Caring for dogs is a true passion of mine. I look forward to helping you with your doggy needs. I am currently training to be a professional dancer at Cincinnati Ballet's Otto M. Budig Academy. Since all my dance training is late in the evening and I have a very flexible work schedule I am fully available from 8:30 until 3:45 to pop in and play with and care for your beloved pets! My parents have always been adamant that animal-care comes before all other duties, so ever since I bought my own puppy (ironically with money I made pet-sitting) at 13 I have made caring for her the first thing on my morning schedule. Additionally I always make sure to give my dog specifically but also the other two dogs my family owns, plenty of exercise and enrichment through walks and playtime. I also make it a point to brush my dog every day since her hair frequently knots otherwise. All these habits are reflected in my care for my client's pets, if not magnified by my sense of duty to ensure the safety and well-being of the pet I have been entrusted to care for.

About: My family has been around dogs for the past 15 years, including previously owning a Boxer and a Boston Terrier, and an adopted mixed breed rescue pup. Through a local dog shelter, I fostered puppies on and off and helped on site with feeding, cleaning, and walking, which has given me more dog-handling training as well as broader experience dealing with different breeds. I work full time, so I am more available weekends for more frequent walks and drop-ins, but am willing to work with other's schedules and needs as best I can. I also usually have more availablility over holiday breaks and summer. I look forward to working with you and your adorable dogs! I am allergic to cats, so I will not be able to accept in home care for families that have cats and dogs both, but I can usually handle drop-in visits/walks if there is a cat in your household. I am able to do early morning, mid to late afternoon and evening/night walks or drop-ins during the week. I am more flexible over the weekends and can accommodate more bookings. I love getting exercise and playtime with dogs! I do not leave pets unattended even in a fenced in backyard, and make sure to check that gates are latched. I clean up after myself and the dog inside as well and make sure to follow all regular routines and instructions left for how to care for your pets and your house! On walks, I keep dogs leashed and always have cleanup supplies with me. I am aware of my surroundings and do what I can to make sure to keep your dog safe from other unknown dogs or people.

About: I started in the pet industry in 1999. I managed for Jacks Aquarium & Pets for 10 years. I was the livestock manager at Feeders Supply Fairborn. I also train Horses professionally and have been a member of the local dog obedience club. In addition to extensive training experience, I have a lot of medical experience and have no problem taking care of special needs animals. Also happy to sit for livestock and exotics. I train Horses full-time so my schedule is extremely flexible because I can book on days that are free. Whatever your pet needs I can accommodate. I provide safe positive compassionate handling. Pets in my care are happier and better handled when they leave me than when they began. Let me help you and your pet connect.

“Valerie is awesome with my pup. Reliable, kind, trustworthy. I know whenever I book Valerie my pup is well taken care of. I am picky about who I choose to watch my pup and Valerie is always my first pick. Highly recommend!”

About: I have been a long time pet owner. On Oct. 17, 2023 I lost my little dog Neil. He was 12 years old and meant the world to me. He was my faithful companion and travel partner. Before moving to Ohio in November 2023, I spent the past 3 years living in Mexico volunteering with a rescue organization which gave me an even broader insight into caring for animals. I apply that knowledge and care to other animals. I am a mother and grandmother to humans, but I love my pets like they are my children. You can expect the same love, care and treatment of your pets when I care for them. I have experience with dogs and cats ranging from puppies/kittens to seniors; pets requiring medical care to very active ones. I’m certain that I can care for your fur baby, too. I am a stay at home grandma that has free time during the day making me available for drop-in checks, play dates and walks with your pet. Visits after 4pm can be arranged with advance notice. My time is my own, making it easy to care for your pet in their own home, be it for a day or for the length of your vacation. I will care for your pet at your home according to your specific instructions. I ask that pets be up to date on all vaccinations. Any food or treats that you would like your pet to have should be provided by you. I do not provide those due to the potential risk of allergies and/or special dietary restrictions your pet may have.

“Risa was great! Communicates in a timely manner and was willing to come meet our pup prior to our scheduled day since it was his first time with her.”

About: I have my own chihuahua Saydee. She is 8 years old. I love being around other dogs as well, they bring me joy and happiness. I have open availability on the weekends. Weekday availability after 6 pm. Feel free to message me with questions or book with me! I would love to take care of your pup! With the given instructions on the care for your pet I can follow the daily routine. Potty, food, and will give plenty of play time.

About: My husband & I and our 7 children live in a home in north Centerville. We have a large backyard that is fully enclosed with a 6’ wood privacy fence. We have a great neighborhood for walks and socialization and we also have several, more secluded walking trails nearby for a tranquil relaxed stroll. Our children range from ages 3-14 and have all been around dogs since birth and are excellent caretakers as well. We have 2 family pets, a 6 year old female Lhasa Apso and a 4 year old male Shih tzu. Neither uses a crate and we don’t require any crating. Our goal is to make sure your dog enjoys their stay away from home and is as comfortable as possible. We can maintain any schedules you have established and will make sure your dog gets extra love during your time apart. Regardless if your dog has energy for days or is older and prefers to snooze on a comfy blanket - our home can accommodate both types of dog. I am a stay-at-home mom so I am almost always home and I have the flexibility to accommodate various schedules and routines. With a large household it’s extremely rare that everyone is gone at the same time. Also, my mom lives next door and is retired so she’s able to stop by as well. Once your pets stay begins, we attach a custom ID tag to their collar that includes our contact information as an added safety measure. We have a fenced yard and 2 guaranteed companions for your pet to enjoy during their stay with us. Plus there’s always someone around to give them some extra love while you’re apart. We can easily crate your pet if preferred, as well. We’re happy to accommodate specific requests to ensure that your pets have the best care and experience possible.

“Beth was amazing really allowed us to have a fun night and not worry about our dogs! She was amazing highly recommended and will be using again!”

About: I've had dogs ever since I was 10, but my experience with them goes far beyond that. When I was a little kid, before I ever had a dog, I would go to this read with a dog program called "Paws to Read." I would spend countless hours reading to the dogs and befriending them, along with a cat or two here and there. When I was 10, I got my first dog, a husky, and gave him a wonderful life. He had quite a few medical issues and behaved older for his age because of it, so I know how to provide senior pet care. He has since passed, but my two current dogs, one pitbull and one pitsky, remind me every day how important pets are to me. I've had them both for eight years now, during which we've taken numerous car rides, walks, enjoyed outside and inside playtime, movie nights, and anything a dog could dream of. Now, while I've never had a cat because of the majority of my family being allergic, I never turn away from a cat. I'm a regular at the Gem City Catfe, where I play with the cats often and have gone so often that they are comfortable with me. I keep cat and dog treats on me in case I come across a stray, because all cats and dogs deserve to feel some love. I've also dog-sat and house-sat for a few friends before, so I know how to handle situations like pets not getting along, bathroom accidents, and being a bit of a picky eater. Currently, I am a full time student and work full time at UDRI (UD's Research Institute) from 8:30am - 3:30am. During the summer I won't be taking any in person classes, just two online. But when I return to UD for my final year, I will be taking classes again and may be slightly more limited. When it comes to my pets and caring for clients pets, the comfort of the pet is most important to me. Personally, my two dogs don't get along with each other very well, so they typically have to be separated. Even so, I always make sure to treat them both equally and give them lots of love! If I take one for a car ride and ice cream, I bring ice cream back for the other and take the other for a car ride later that week. If my client has dogs similar to mine, who need to be separated, I would be sure to treat them equally and split my time with them according to my client's requests. Given single-pet households, I'd spend a lot of my time with them! In my downtime, I'd make sure to sit with them while I work on coursework. I'd be sure to take them on walks and go for potty breaks. And of course I'd make sure we get a lot of play time in and lots of love!

About: I’m currently living on campus at my college and I come from a company in my hometown called HomeWard Bound which is a pet-care company that is very similar to Rover. I have many months of experience which lead me to enjoy this job and wanting to continue it when I live on campus. Over the summer I will be mainly free since my priority is occupying my time with taking care of animals and learning more about them! I care with patience and trust. I allow the pet to warm up to me if needed, no forcing. I follow instructions thoroughly since I have experience from taking care of numerous amount of animals.

About: My mother has a dog sitting business called Your Place or Mine that I help her with regularly. I got on Rover to make some extra money while I'm in college. Furthermore, I've owned and taken care of dogs my whole life. Even now I have two of my own dogs. Since my Mom's more experienced with watching animals, she may help me with jobs from time to time. I work part-time and also go to school part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to stay with your pet(s) and check on them. I'll check on your pet(s) periodically and care for them as I'm instructed. I also have prior experience caring for older animals and animals who take oral medications or shots.

About: I have watched dogs ever since I was little. I started with a family friends two huskies. They loved to run in their yard and would come visit us on days that we weren't watching them by jumping the fence. When I was 10 or 11 we got our first dog and then we got another a few years later. My wife and I now have three dogs all of which are rescues. I can help with any animals so long as I have a few days heads up that you need help. I have experience watching pretty much every kind of pet from snakes to horses. If you need your dog, or even your cat, walked than I will be happy to help. I can even just stop by to make sure that everyone has a chance to go outside throughout the day. I can stop by and just sit with your pets or I can take them out into the yard and run or throw the ball with them. I am also happy to take them out on long or short walks depending on the pets needs and age. If anybody need medicine I have plenty of experience giving it to them as well as giving dogs physical therapy while recovering from surgery.
