“Bradley did such a wonderful job with my dogs! Really put my mind at ease. Will definitely book him again next time we need pet care. He fed them, gave them water, walked them and had them go potty! We appreciate him so much and recommend him 100%. :)”

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, from a 15lbs mini golden to a 130lbs mastiff. I love taking long walks no matter the weather (as long the dog is comfortable!) and have experience with senior dogs who require a lot of love and attention, and sometimes lots of medication. If your pet had specific needs, I can certainly make sure they’re taken care of the best way they can be! I have similar experience with cats, caring for teething kittens and senior cats who need extra attention. I love cats, but I understand sometimes they take longer to warm up. I don’t mind just hanging around until they feel comfortable enough to come up to me themselves. My number one priority is making sure your pet is comfortable and cared for. I’m a full time college student who’s lived in the Dayton area my whole life, allowing me to watch pets in the area year round (I’m a rising senior at the University of Dayton). I currently have an online internship, but it’s unpaid and I don’t get a lot of work to do. I have lots of time to devote to taking care of your critters. I’m willing to stay with pets for as long as they need, whether that means overnight or just some company during the day. I’m patient with pets that are wary of strangers; I do what I can to respect their boundaries. I will always wait until they’re comfortable enough to come up to me. I have a dog at home who is very nervous around new people. Because she’s so big we have to be very careful of how we introduce her to people. She’s a high maintenance lady, that’s for sure! But she loves just having company, and I know that many pets just want to have someone to be around.

About: I’ve loved and cared for a variety of animals throughout my life. I’ve had dogs, cats, a parakeet, hamsters, gerbils, rats, ferrets, fish, a bearded dragon, and a red tail boa. I LOVE animals. When I was a kid I would even spend my weekends at our local pet shop holding and playing with their animals. I am a mother of two teenagers, and have been a small business owner, so I am extremely responsible, reliable, caring, attentive to detail, and have the skills to do anything necessary to care for your pets. I am available most of the time, and my time is flexible. I recently sold my half of my small business and am now taking some time for myself (that I want to fill with animals!), so I am almost always available and flexible. We have a fenced in yard, but we also live in a beautiful historic neighborhood and love taking walks around the neighborhood and to the park as often as possible.

About: I grew up on a farm caring for all kinds of animals, which taught me responsibility, patience, and instinct. I provide dependable, attentive care tailored to your pet’s unique needs. I work a very flexible job that allows me to work from home when needed to take care of your pets during the day. I am free almost every evening and weekend. When caring for pets in their home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I follow all feeding, walking, and medication instructions exactly as given, and I take time to bond with each pet through play, attention, and calm companionship. I keep the home tidy, respect the space, and provide regular updates so owners feel at ease while they’re away. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their own environment.

“Sierra took great care of our 2 kitties and our turtle! We came home to a clean house, clean litter boxes, and plenty of food and water for everyone. We loved all the pictures she sent us each day as well. We would definitely hire Sierra again!”


“Marisha has taken care of our 3 cats several times. She is conscientious and excellent at comminicating. She has also been willing to feed community cats (at our request) that stop by. She has gone above and beyond on a couple of occasions. I will hire her again.”


“I Highly recommend Abbi, she is very kind and understanding! I know she took good care of my kitties and they both loved her. Even the one who usually doesn’t come put for people let her hold him and cuddle.”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 6. I’m great with all sizes, breeds and ages as I’ve helped multiple dogs give birth and taken care of geriatric dogs. I have volunteered at Our Farm Sanctuary and I currently foster for The Rescue Haven :) My life has always been surrounded by dogs, I love my animals more than anything. The first thing I do when I wake up is take care of the pups, take them on a walk and then give them their breakfast and enrichment bowls/mats. I base my daily routine off my pets! I have fenced in yard and three fixed golden retrievers that are sweethearts. If you use a crate, I do ask that you provide that as I only have 2 of my own and they are occupied by my two youngest dogs. I have to crate Tucker and Dixie because they will eat anything when they’re bored, INCLUDING a wall 🤣 the crate will be cleaned and sanitized before pickup. I also ask that you provide your own food, that way there’s no upset bellies! I have plenty of natural treats if you’re okay with your dog having them

About: I grew up around dogs, caring for all breeds and sizes. I am experienced in puppy care, senior dogs, and providing loving attention to every furry friend. With a flexible job and my law studies, I have plenty of free time to offer personalized care for your pet. I can easily adjust my schedule to provide walks, playtime, and attention whenever needed. I provide a safe, familiar environment by following your pet’s routine, ensuring their comfort and well-being. I’m careful with home safety and always keep you updated.

About: Throughout my years I have taken care of a variety of animals ranging from lizards, cats, dogs, snakes, skinks, and many more. Throughout this time with these loving animals I have learned so many valuable tools regarding pet care. Some include safe/healthy treats, handling, working with behavioral issues, knowledge regarding toxic household plants, exercise needs, and more. My goal is to provide a welcoming, safe, and fun environment for your beloved family member. I am currently a nursing student therefore, I am unavailable on Tuesdays and Thursdays due to college. However, weekdays and weekends aside from these dates I am free to provide loving care to your animals past 1pm. Regarding my yard, I live next to a residential four way stop. I possess a spacious fenced in side yard followed by an open area on the other side composed of thick trees for dogs that love to explore. If you feel your dog needs to be crated, I also have options available for this.

“A kind, communicative, and thorough pet sitter. She did a great job with my cat’s drop-in visits during the week and I had no issues. Attentive and did what I asked plus more! I’d recommend Heavyn-Ley.”


About: We’ve had dogs of all sizes in our home since I can remember. And I’ve raised a few of my own along with 2 cats I am available all week. I can check in on your pets and let them out and feed them according to your routine. I will also walk your pets. I can also board and host daily care of multiple pets. You can leave me any detailed instructions on how you’d like your pet cared for. I’ll come in and take them out into the yard to do their business, or change their pads/clean up cat litter and clean any messes they may have left. If they need to be fed I’ll give them food and water also according to your instructions. And if they need to be walked around the neighborhood or park I can do that also. When they are in my home you can bring toys, beds, or Blankets that they feel more comfortable in, but I can provide that as well. You may bring your own food that does well for their diet.

About: I come from a “pet family” and I’ve cared for almost every pet imaginable! I have particular strength with large breed dogs of all ages! Equipped with puppy, as well as elder care. I am self-employed and have a very flexible schedule. I have recently lost my too elderly dogs and have plenty of love and supplies left over! I have large crates, training pads, bowls, leashes, toys, treats etc. There is plenty of space in the house and yard, including a full basement.

“Veronica was so great with my cats. They were well taken care of and it was a big relief to know they were in good hands. She was dependable and I appreciated her communication in sending updates and photos from each visit. She not only took affectionate care of my pets, but she also looked after my apartment as well. I recommend!”

Hunter L.
“I highly recommend Hunter for anyone looking for safe, loving care for their pets. Hunter has cared for my dog several times, and I’ve always felt confident that they would provide not only excellent care but also a warm, attentive environment. Hunter goes above and beyond, not just by meeting my pet’s needs, but by building a genuine connection with them. Whether it’s feeding, walking, or just spending quality time, Hunter’s commitment to ensuring my pet feels loved and comfortable is evident. Beyond that, Hunter is an amazing human being—trustworthy, responsible, and always quick to respond with kindness. I wouldn’t hesitate to trust Hunter with my pets again and again.”


Mercy M.
“I’ve known her for quite a long while now and seen many different sides and no matter what, our dog is something she is always making sure to have cared for. She properly trained and re-nourished a very weak and vulnerable dog and turned him to a healthy, muscular, loving companion that we are always making more & more progress with. Whilst being around my cats she is still the sweetest and most loving, even usually going out of her way to buy them their favorite wet foods & treats & such. She’s an amazing, responsible, and trustworthy caregiver to animals of all types, as long as it’s an animal, she’ll love it & care for it with kindness.”
