About: Hi, I’m Risa! I am a young professional who recently moved to the Dayton area. I have a 7-year-old Golden Retriever named Ellie. I consider dogs to be family and promise to treat yours as such! I have a flexible schedule and I am able to provide frequent potty breaks and/or walks. (In addition to lots of pets & love, of course!) I pride myself on being very reliable and giving you peace of mind. I will keep a close eye on your pup for the entirety of the visit and I will communicate with you about how each visit went.

“Mckinzey has been great with our pup Coco. She has been reliable, professional, and patient with Coco’s hesitation and vocalization surrounding people she doesn’t know.”

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: 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.

About: I've been pet-sitting for five years for family and neighbors, and loved every minute of it! I worked at a pet store for multiple years and am very knowledgeable in everything pet related. I am currently a full-time college student but will always have time for your pets! I will be busy with classes for roughly three hours a day and working during the evening on most days. Weekends I do not have classes but will still have work. Please message me for any questions about scheduling around my work and school. I currently live with cats and roommates, and will not be able to board any pets in my home due to those circumstances. I am always open to taking care of any pets somewhere else.

“Abbi was a pleasure to meet. My mom can't walk her dog due to health reasons, so I looked in to hiring a dog walker. I'm glad I did! Not only is Abbi good with Bitty, she communicates well with my mom. I would definitely recommend her.”

About: I’ve grown up around every type of animal. I currently have 3 horses and 1 dog. I’ve house sat dozens of farms, dozens of dogs and have experience with most types of dogs. I’m a firefighter so I have an amazing schedule to work in dog sitting, walking, etc. I get 15k steps a day and am a very active person, great for those dogs that need that extra energy release you don’t always have time to provide. I work as a firefighter, I work two days a week and have the rest free. I’m in school to be a dietitian and a personal trainer as well. I live in an apartment that has a dog park, I’m also 5 minutes from a park which my dog and I frequent often. I keep my dogs socialized and active however if older or restriction are needed accommodations are absolutely respected. Dog walking is offered around your neighborhood or will take to a park depending on your wants/area lived in. I value clear and regular communication to make sure you feel comfortable while away!

About: ☁ I work with a smaller number of clients intentionally. Which means I'm never overbooked, and your dog gets consistency and care that actually makes a difference. I've spent years living with and caring for my own dogs, and here's what I've learned: the best walks aren't about wearing a dog out..they're about helping them feel calm and safe. I pay close attention to how your dog is actually doing during our time together. Are they checking in with me? Able to settle when we pause? Or are they still wound up and overstimulated when we're done? A lot of dogs don't need more excitement what they need is someone who's calm, consistent, and tuned in to what they're showing you. That's my approach. I move at your dog's pace, keep things predictable, and make sure they come home relaxed, not wired. You'll also get clear communication from me. I confirm all the details before our first visit and send you updates so you're never left wondering how things went. Taking care of your dog isn't just a "task" for me.. it's something I genuinely love doing. ☁ I've structured my schedule around pet care, so I have consistent availability throughout the week (mornings, afternoons, and evenings.) So that means I'm not squeezing your dog in between other jobs or double-booking visits. They get my full attention, and you get reliable, flexible service that actually works with your routine. Whether you need regular daily walks or occasional drop-ins, I can usually make it work. Just reach out and we'll find a schedule that fits. ☁ Why Book With Me? Most dog walkers are rushing between appointments, burning through a route, and moving on to the next gig. I do this differently. I focus on quality over quantity — which means I take fewer clients, spend real time with each dog, and make sure walks are actually calming, not just exercise. If you've noticed your dog comes home more wired after walks, or you're tired of last-minute cancellations and inconsistent care, that's exactly the problem I'm here to solve. ❍ Your home and your dog's safety come first. I'm careful with doors and gates, double-check leashes before we head out, and make sure transitions (like arrivals and departures) are calm and controlled. So no rushing, no surprises. I treat your space with respect. That means shoes off if you prefer, no leaving messes, and being mindful of your dog's routines and any house rules you've shared. Dogs pick up on energy quickly, and I've found they settle faster when someone is calm and consistent. You can trust that your home and your pup are in good hands.

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’ve loved animals my whole life. I worked in a veterinary office as a vet assistant for around 5 years. I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of all ages sizes and lifestyles and can assist with any type of medical needs they may have! I’m currently a stay at home mom, I have a lot of free time that I would love to fill by loving on your pets! I can take dogs on walks, drop in to check on them, let them out, play with them, snuggle them, feed them, administer medication, I can also drop in and check on cats, feed them, administer medication, play with them and snuggle them! Anything your pets need, I can be there to help keep them happy and healthy 😊 I have a fenced in yard, 3 dogs and a cat of my own who love to make new friends, I do have a young daughter. The dogs get tons of snuggles and love and sleep in the bed at night, I’m also more than happy to crate dogs who feel more comfortable in their own space!

“Laurie has been Great! Very dependable and communicates very well with me on scheduling. Takes the stress away from me! Highly recommend her!”

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 have had different sizes and breeds of dogs as my personal pets since 3 years old. I have experience with diabetic dogs and giving any medication. I know how to save a choking dog. And how to do CPR on dogs. I am currently not working. Looking for full time employment. But while I do that I would love to care for your fur babies. I am available 24/7 all days of the week, until I find regular employment. I will follow whatever schedule and or rules the owner has for me. I myself feed my dog twice daily and take her outside at least 4-6 times a day. We have one big walk a day. With little ones in between. I brush her coat at least once a day. Bathe her every other week and trim toe nails as needed. I brush her teeth too.

About: I have spent the past 5 years taking care of my own golden retriever and loved every minute. Over the past 20 years I have dog sat and dog walked multiple of my moms friends fur babies and my own friends. Just here to make it easy not just for you but also your pet! I am currently a college student with way too much free time on my hands. Therefore, fitting your pets care into my schedule for the day/ week will be doggone easy House sitting/dog sitting: I know with my Golden Retriever, play time and exercise is an important part of the day for them. I take dogs for about about a mile walk depending on weather and make sure they have ample time to also play and be a dog. Offering to vacuum the dog hair up especially on big shedders ( trust me I get it) it can be a lot sometimes. If errands need ran for personal reasons, I will make sure I'm not gone too long! Walking: Depending on dog size/ weather will walk anything from half a mile -2 miles. Will always make sure dog has water on walk and after!

“Catlin is so sweet and great with my dog. Definitely would recommend :)”

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.

About: I am reliable, organized, and calm. I follow routines well and keep owners updated. I have experience with puppies. I support crate habits, potty training, and simple cues with patience and structure. I handle senior dogs with gentle care. I move at their pace and watch for changes in comfort. My background in sports gives me strong energy for active pets. My role in a big family shaped my sense of responsibility. I give each pet focused attention and a safe, steady environment. I am a senior in high school and play soccer. I am currently all online with my classes so I have lots of time to take care of your pets! I usually have soccer practice 3 times a week in the early evening. In a client’s home, I stick to their rules. I handle feeding, walks, litter or bathroom routines, and any comfort items the pet uses. I keep the home tidy and leave everything the way I found it. I prioritize safety, attention, and communication in both settings
