“Casey took wonderful care of our furry ones; especially our dog, Crowley! We will certainly request their assistance again and recommend whenever we can!”

“Janice was amazing while taking care of Nacho and house sitting. Updated and pics were frequent and reassuring. House and Nacho were well taken care of. Will definitely look to book again. Thank you Janice!”

“Monroe did an amazing job taking care of my dogs and was very flexible. I have a lot of anxiety leaving them and she did a good job checking in and letting me know how they were doing. Definitely would book with her again!”

“Kasey did a great job taking care of our greyhound. She kept us updated and sent pictures. She was respectful of our house and walked our dog. We will definitely book Kasey again in the future.”
About: I am a grad student working toward my M.S.Ed in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and love animals. I grew up with 1 dog and 4 cats! In addition to pet sitting I volunteer at the Humane Society of Greater Dayton where I walk dogs and socialize cats. I have references I would be happy to provide and would treat your animal(s) as my own. I hope you will take the opportunity to book me and let me love on your animals! As a cat owner, I am used to getting up early to feed my cat and being home to feed her for dinner. I have a flexible work schedule and work from home some days so I am able to structure my day around your pet’s needs. I would prioritize the routine that you and your animals are used to following! I respect you and your animal’s space and want you to feel comfortable leaving your pets with me while away. I am always a phone call or message away and happy to send countless updates and photos of your animals!
“We are so happy with the services Brandon provided while we were on vacation. We came home to very happy dogs and the house exactly how we left it. Brandon sent pictures, asked questions and made sure our animals were well loved while we were away. I couldn’t be more pleased and will definitely plan to use him for future trips. I highly recommend Brandon for house and dog sitting.”

“Susan is great with our dog and cats! They love her too! Our home was pristine when we returned, as if no one had even been here. Thank you Susan for giving us peace of mind when we are away!”

“Tyler was amazing! The pups didn’t seem to miss us at all. She was attentive and provided photos frequently without any prompt. Will definitely be using her again for our pups.”

“I give Ben an A++. I couldn’t have asked for a better new buddy and caregiver for my fur babies. Ben’s calm and welcoming presence is exactly what my dog needed while I was away. I feel so much better knowing they are just as cared for and loved as when I am home.”

About: I’ve always had small dogs — it’s kind of a family tradition. (Mostly Chihuahuas… if you’ve met one, you know exactly what that means! 🥴😝) I also walk my aunt’s dog, who’s a little bigger, and I’m usually the one friends call when they need someone to care for their pets — dogs or cats — while they’re away. After 13+ years in retail (yes, at Old Navy — and no, it’s not like the commercials 😅), I realized my real passion has always been spending time with animals. I’m kind, patient, and protective, and I genuinely enjoy giving pets the time, affection, and attention they deserve. So if you’re looking for someone dependable who will treat your pets like family — I’m your person. (And hey, if your pets have tiny wardrobes, I’m great at folding those too! 😝) I’m currently working full-time in retail, but I’m hoping to transition into pet care full-time. My goal is to establish regular clients so I can eventually dedicate all my time to caring for dogs and cats. For now, I’m flexible with my retail schedule and happy to work around it to make sure your pets get the care and attention they need. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on keeping them comfortable, safe, and loved. I always take time to learn each pet’s routine — feeding schedule, favorite toys, walks, and any special needs or habits. If I’m watching pets in a client’s home, I make sure to keep things consistent with their normal routine so they feel relaxed. I give plenty of playtime, cuddles, and attention, and I always keep food and water areas clean. I also send photo updates so owners know their pets are happy and cared for. If I’m caring for animals in my own home, I create a calm, pet-friendly environment — secure spaces for cats to explore, comfy spots for naps, and safe outdoor time (if allowed). I treat every pet as if they’re my own, because that’s what I’d want for my animals too. While my own yard is smaller and perfect for my small dogs, my sister has a much larger yard, and she’s given me full access to her home and property whenever needed. That means I have plenty of safe space available for bigger dogs to play and get the exercise they need.
“Isabella did fantastic with our two dogs. Our oldest is usually fairly easy but our puppy is still a handful and she did a wonderful job. We got walk and picture updates regularly and she had excellent communication throughout the situation. Thanks so much!”

About: I love snuggles and walks just as much as an eager puppy, but I will take a step back for shy dogs or most cats. I had my dog until he was 16, taking care of him as a puppy until his senior years. Since putting him down last year, I have been dog sitting coworkers' dogs (up to nine at a time!), watching my friend's cats, and leash training my sister's dogs. I work from home, so my schedule is pretty open and I can be available as much as your pet needs. Plus, I am always walking! I will always follow the directions of pet owners to make pets feel safe and comfortable. Owners know their pets best, so I'll listen to their advice on how to get to know their fluffs.
“Marin was so great, our dog can be very challenging but she still did a great job with her. Very responsive and sent cute pics of our dog 🥰 We definitely recommend her!”

“Dorothy has a very sweet and kind spirit. She is excellent with communication and she is willing to go above and beyond to make your pets feel comfortable. We truly appreciate Dorothy hanging out with our Gracie, Mitty and Indie this wekened!!”


About: I am currently working as a dog bather and graduated from MVCTC Animal Care and Management. I have experience in small animals and basic training. I am currently working part time so I have lots of availability. I am available anytime on Mondays and Sundays and after 5 Tuesday- Saturday. Times and dates are flexible. I love to cuddle up with any pets if you or your pet would like. I can also easily crate pets and feed them on specific schedules as well as providing fresh water.
Cornell Heights pet parents share their Rover experiences
Casey was absolutely phenomenal. Sam and Evie enjoyed their time with her and we didn’t have to worry at all about the care of our fur babies. I would highly recommend Casey as a dog sitter. She even extended her stay due to our travel being delayed and made sure she could be with them until we got home. I would definitely use Casey again.

Our pet sitting experience with Yolena was perfect! She came over to meet our dogs in to go over their care before hand. Updated us with how they were doing while we were gone, and we came back to happy healthy dogs, and a house that was just as we had left it. My husband and I noticed that both of our dogs actually walk better on their leashes after their time with her! She is so sweet and kind and we cannot wait to book with her again and we know our dogs feel the same way!

Yolena did a wonderful job house sitting our two pups. The dogs were well taken care of, the house was in perfect condition and she communicated and sent pictures during the week. I would highly recommend Yolena and would hire her again. We appreciate her doing such a great job.
