Top rated Dayton dog walkers
“Saul is the best! He took such great care of our dogs. Gave them treats, belly rubs, and made sure their needs were met. Even cleaned up one of our dogs after an accident. He was very respectful of our home and neighborhood. Also, such a wonderful person.”
“Bear loved Alison! He wouldn't go on walks at first but she worked with him and now he looks forward to his walks every day! I would definitely use her again.”
“Great as always!”
“Brooklyn is amazing - my pups love her and she is great with them. 10/10 :)”
“Allison has been great! Super friendly and helpful when scheduling, and she has great availability. This is the second time she's taken our Aussie pup on a walk to help get some energy out. Love getting the pictures of her time with him and the note she leaves about their time together. Will definitely keep using Allison”
“Nina has done a great job walking my dogs! She leaves very detailed notes with pictures & is very kind and timely. She always quickly responds to messages and lets me know in advance when she will be out of town. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog walker!”
About: I grew up on a farm surrounded by dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments—which gave me a lifelong comfort and confidence working with animals. From energetic puppies to senior dogs, I’m experienced and patient with every stage of life. I have hands-on experience with basic obedience training and I’m currently working toward my dog training certification. I currently work at FedEx ground. I'm about to switch to weekends only so I can be available mon-friday anytime. Weekend nights could work if planned ahead. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a spacious, pet-friendly condo where dogs have plenty of room to play and relax. My own dog, Foster, is friendly and well-socialized—he loves making new friends and is great with other dogs. We also share a backyard with respectful neighbors and their dogs, creating a safe and social environment. I'm always happy to answer any questions or provide updates,just reach out anytime!
About: I spent my high school in a household with 4 cats (each with wildly different temperaments), and a border collie who loved "herding" them. In the years since moving out, I've fostered 3 cats and house-sat for both cats and dogs. For dogs in particular, I enjoy being outdoors and walking, so taking doggos on walks and playing with them has always come very naturally to me! I have a fully remote job with pretty flexible hours, so I can pop in and out as needed. Whether it be house sitting and vibing with the pets, or going on walks with the dogs, my schedule is fairly accommodating to make things happen! I've grown up taking care of pets with a wide range of personalities and temperaments, and am really good at understanding what pets want and respecting those boundaries.
“Gregory always takes great care of Archie and today's walk was no exception. It was clear from the smile on Archie's face that he had a very good walk.”
About: I began pet-sitting for friends and family when I was 16. Once I became a professional housekeeper, my clients loved for me to housesit while they were away (with the added benefit of a clean house upon their return). Now that I have my own fur family, I'm unable to housesit for long stretches. Life has taught me to be adaptable and to be ready for curveballs thrown my way. I've given dogs medication, cared for aging pets, and cleaned many a puddle and turd with love and understanding. Twice I was bitten by a nervous dog, which triggered a fear response to dogs suddenly approaching me. That experience only increased my love for dogs, and I was able to train my body to react calmly, rebuilding that trust. Dogs love us unconditionally, we must return the favor! I'm self-employed with a variable schedule, so it's easy for me to add a walk or drop-in. Caring for animals enhances my life, so including your pets in my day is a win-win-win situation. I can't have your pet at my house (cats of my own). In a client's home, I balance the needs of the pet with boundaries set by the client (for example, dogs allowed only in certain rooms). I'm happy to follow your instructions out of respect, of course, but also because consistency is needed for encouraging good behavior and the well-being of the pet.
“My poodle is not quite 2 years old and full of energy. I’m recovering from surgery and Maria is doing a great job practicing commands he learned from trainer. Friendly, adaptable, dependable, and good communicator Maria is terrific walker. Topaz loves walking with her .”
“Alex was wonderful! My dogs trusted him immediately and looked very happy on the photos. He was very responsive, responsable and kept me updated every day. I’m so grateful with him. I highly recommend his job. 100%. Thank u Alex !!”
About: Growing up with dogs, I developed a passion for animals from a young age. I began pet-sitting in high school for family members as a way to make gas money, and have been doing it ever since. I'm the go-to gal for all my family members / family friends when their vacation time rolls around, and love dogs of all ages and sizes! I have also fostered around a dozen pups, and even foster-failed and adopted one special guy — Lou. I firmly believe all pups should be treated like humans and yours will definitely be getting all the attention a furry friend could possibly want. My schedule is fairly flexible, as I work at and manage a bar. My schedule is typically the same every week, so feel free to chat with me about what your needs might be, and we can set up regular visits! I also have experience pet-sitting cats, turtles, bunnies, guinea pigs, and birds. I'm comfortable with a wide range of animal friends! I can provide references if needed, and am more than happy to do a meet and greet with your pups! I manage a bar and my schedule is set several weeks in advance. With the exception of special events (a friends bday or concert, etc), my schedule remains the same week to week, which allows for consistent walks and drop in visits with your pups! While I don’t currently offer extended pet-sitting at my or a client’s house, I will absolutely take the most care in the world of your fur baby while walking them or dropping in to let them out / play with them. I will ensure their safety on a leash and around any other pets/people we encounter on a walk. I’m comfortable getting them in and out of crates and taking care of animals of all sizes.
About: I am a 29 year old working remotely, so I have plenty of time to go on walks. I owned a golden retriever named Romeo for 8 years, have my own 3 year old dog named Ginny, and have a great deal of experience with dog-sitting for various dogs over the years, so I am great with taking care of dogs and keeping them happy! This includes working on other dog-walking/sitting apps for several years. I love all kinds of pups and some of my favorite memories are taking my dogs to the park or on amazing hikes! I currently work remotely, so I have more flexibility to take on more walks or dog sit during the day and on my own schedule. When at a clients home, I like to follow any suggestions to make the pets comfortable and will spend lots of time playing and giving them love!
About: I have years of experience walking dogs of all ages, from playful pups to senior dogs needing a slower pace. I’m calm, reliable, and always tailor each walk to your dog’s energy level and needs. As an SLP graduate student, I have a busy but flexible schedule, which makes dog walking a perfect fit. It gives me a chance to take breaks, stay active, and spend time doing something I love caring for dogs. I plan walks around my classes and clinic hours, ensuring each pet gets dependable, consistent care. Safety and trust are my top priorities. When walking dogs, I use secure, well-fitting gear and stick to familiar routes unless otherwise requested. I always keep pets leashed, stay alert to their behavior and surroundings, and follow any specific instructions from owners. Whether in your home or out on a walk, I treat every pet with care, patience, and respect like they’re part of my own family.
“So sweet & on time!”
About: I have worked in both a small animal general practice and emergency veterinary setting as a veterinary assistant. I recently finished an internship where I worked at an equine clinic as a veterinary assistant. I will be starting Vet school in the fall of 2024 and I recently graduated with my Bachelors of Science in Animal Science from the University of Vermont. I am currently back home until I start school in August, so I have availability during the day and at night. I can let the pets out whenever. I have experience with all different kinds of animals - from horses to cows to chihuahuas. I grew up with German Shepherds and love big and small dogs. I have experience in a clinical sense with animals of all different needs.
About: I grew up with a number of cats and dogs in my home, and began caring for other pets when I was in high school. I’ve now had a dog of my own for 6years that I care for along with my husband and so enjoy any other animal interaction I get! I am reliable, punctual and communicative. If booking for an overnight stay in our home, my husband will also be helping with pet care and adores pets as much as I do. I’m currently in grad school, so I have more flexibility than someone with a 9-5. Each day is different, but I can often make time in my day depending on what is needed. More flexibility over the summer months. Again, if your dog is staying in our home, my husband will also act as another person caring for your pet. If you prefer I watch a dog in my home, I will want my dog to meet your dog first. If that relationship works, I’ll care for your little one like my own during their stay. Otherwise, I will make sure to give your pet as much attention and love as I can, and complete all your requirements outlined. I do not do overnight pet care in another home unless you are known to me personally however.
About: I work a doggie daycare/boarding kennel. I love what i do and don't ever plan on going anywhere else. That is why i signed up on here. So i could continue to help people with their fur babies in a time of need. I do it as employment 5 to 6 days a week in the mornings. I work at a doggie daycare/ kennel boarding facility. I bathe do nails teeth and ears also. I would walk dogs, can do drop in visits or afternoon shifts sitting with the animal also. I would love to spend time with your pet and make them smile.
About: I have had many sitting jobs and always give my best care to my clients, their house, their pets and have always been super reliable I am a Xavier alumni and I am a current graduate student at Mount St. Joseph University and I get done with classes in the afternoon. I am available on most weekends as well. I will always make sure to follow any instructions to provide the best care and will always be interactive with the pet and the client

Corey C.
“I cannot recommend Corey enough! It is clear that he truly loves dogs and treats them like family. He’s watched my dog Laika multiple times now, and every time I come back, my dog is happy, calm, and clearly well-cared for. Corey goes above and beyond—daily updates, adorable photos, long walks, and lots of playtime. I honestly think she gets more excited to see Corey than she does me and jumps out of my car to sprint to his door. It’s such a relief to know my dog is in good hands when I’m away. If you're looking for someone reliable, kind, and genuinely passionate about animals, Corey is your guy. 10/10, would trust him with my dog any day.”
Derek C.
“Derek is a top tier pet sitter. My cats have never been so entertained as when he’d watch them. They were fed, entertained, and pet as cats deserve to be. My dogs also were a big fan. They got plenty of walks and were entertained during my entire vacation.”

Elizabeth B.
“Liz watched our three animals (two greyhounds and a fat tabby) for 2+ months while my wife and I hiked the Pacific Creat Trail. She was great! All the animals were immediately comfortable with her; she managed our two dogs (one of which is reactive to other digs) on walks like a pro; and she was very communicative, sending updates and pictures on regular basis. She even forwarded packages that we needed along the trail! We couldn’t have been happier with her, and we wouldn’t hesitate hire her again.”

Arjun M.
“Arjun is the best! He can always be depended on and has gotten along with every animal I’ve seen him with. He is the go to pet sitter for our neighbors and friends and has a flexible schedule working from home that also allows him to take care of pets during the day when people are at work. He also has a lot of experience taking care of anxious dogs and is so great and gentle with them. Would definitely recommend!”

Emma W.
“Emma is incredible with animals and one of the people that I trust the most to take care of my cat. She has gained my cat’s trust over time by respecting her, going above and beyond, and letting my cat come to her. She not only does a great job feeding her but she also plays with her, brushes her, and gives her lot of attention. I would recommend her to anyone looking for someone that they can trust with their pet!”
Gabrielle T.
“I am writing to highly recommend Gabby for the position of pet sitter. Gabby has consistently demonstrated an exceptional level of care and dedication to animals, treating them with the same love and attention as she does her own pets. Her innate ability to connect with animals is remarkable, and she prioritizes their comfort and well-being above all else. Gabby is not only a compassionate and giving individual towards people, but she also excels in her care for animals. She is meticulous in monitoring their health and habits, ensuring they receive optimal care. I have entrusted Gabby with the care of my young and energetic pit bull, whose behavior can be quite chaotic. Despite this, Gabby has managed to handle him with ease and confidence. Her keen ability to understand and respond to an animal’s needs is unparalleled. I have witnessed countless instances where pets naturally gravitate towards her, feeling immediately at ease in her presence. Gabby ensures that each animal feels special, receives ample playtime, and, most importantly, remains safe and secure under her supervision. Furthermore, Gabby puts 100% effort into everything she does. Her passion for animal care, combined with her reliability and attentive nature, makes her an outstanding candidate for any pet sitting position. I have complete trust in her abilities and wholeheartedly recommend her for this role.”
Stormy C.
“Stormy takes her time to understand each dog, even if its a difficult one. I like to call her the dog whisperer. Her calm demeanor helps ease a pup into getting to know her. She leaves good notes/updates about the dog as well.”
Hannah P.
“Hannah was amazing when helping us take care of our puppy Leo. He is usually pretty anxious around new people but he immediately warmed up to Hannah! She was very responsible and easy to book when we have needed her the most. Thanks Hannah for your amazing care!”
