Dog Sitting in Dayton

“I’m not even sure where to start, Erin was AMAZING! We had an issue with the door handle that she took care of, the dogs had a rough day and she handled it, she got my mail, and even cleaned up some dog hair! One of our pups decided to go on a hunger strike and she got him eating again by hand feeding him! I would not hesitate for a second to have her back! She was the best and I highly recommend her!”

“Jordan was amazing with our energetic puppy, Cooper! She always made sure to update us and sent pictures during each visit. Jordan took care of Cooper like he was her own puppy. So glad we found her and will definitely be using her services again! 100% recommend Jordan!”

About: Hi! I’m Kelsey, and caring for animals has always been something that comes really naturally to me. I recently adopted my cat, Louis, so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pet. I work full-time in behavioral health, so I bring a lot of patience, attentiveness, and calm energy into how I care for animals—especially those who may be a little anxious or need extra reassurance. I’m available for drop-ins and walks, with extra flexibility on Tuesdays and Fridays when I work from home. I’m happy to follow detailed routines, send regular updates, and make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. Whether your pet needs playtime, a walk, or just some company, I’d love to help! Pet care fits really naturally into my weekly routine. I work full-time during the day, but I’m available for morning, evening, and weekend visits, with extra flexibility on Tuesdays and Fridays when I work from home. I try to keep my schedule balanced so I can be fully present with each pet, and not feel rushed between visits. I’m happy to stick to consistent routines, and I’ll always do my best to accommodate specific timing needs when I can. I’m especially a good fit for pets who benefit from a calm, steady presence or a little extra patience. I care for every pet the way I’d want someone to care for mine, with patience, attention, and a really calm energy. I recently adopted my cat, Louisville aka Louis, so I know how important it is to trust the person coming into your space. In your home, I’m very respectful of routines and will follow instructions closely to keep things consistent and low-stress. I take my time building trust, especially with shy or anxious pets (and cats who like to take their time warming up). I’m mindful about safety - secure doors, leashes, clean spaces, and making sure your pet is always comfortable. I’ll also send thoughtful updates and photos so you feel connected and at ease while you’re away. Whether your pet wants playtime, a walk, or just a cozy presence nearby, I’m happy to meet them where they are.

“Destiny was great with our two kitties! She did several drop ins while we were out of town and she cleaned litter and food well, as well as our kittie water fountain. She even picked up some stuff the kitties had knocked over and let us know where she put it. Additionally, she tried to befriend our shy kittie, and even though he didn't want to come out it was nice that she kept checking on him!”

“Taresse did an outstanding job taking care of my house cats during my recent trip out of town. My cats were well taken care of, and they are always happy to hang out with Taresse. She is really a cat and dog whisperer! I highly recommend Taresse - she is very good with both cats and dogs and very skilled in taking care of animals and giving medications. She is also reliable and responsible and keeps everything very tidy.”

“We are so lucky to have been connected with Jennifer! She’s a caring and dedicated pet companion and we have peace of mind knowing they are in good hands while we are away. Our eldest cat can be a handful and she is very understanding of that. In addition, she’s great at communication. This was our third vacation having her as a sitter and we have a fourth one booked for the near future.”

I also love to walk outside so pet walking is a no-brainer for me. Thank you for considering! I will defer to the needs of the pet and their family on how to provide the best care for any pet in our care.

“Jasmine was great!! She took amazing care of our two cats while we were out of town. She’s super communicative, takes great photos, and really went the extra mile to keep the cat stuff (food/water bowls and litter boxes) clean. Would definitely recommend her!”

About: I am dog CPR certified; I have experience working with an amazing dog day care. I can provide the name of the day care and references upon request. I am lucky to have an immense amount of experience with dogs. Growing up with two dogs as part of our family definitely enhanced my love for all dogs. Dog day cares require you to work with a wide range of dog personalities, and I feel equipped to work with all kinds of dogs. I work part time currently; therefore I have more open availability in my schedule to work with dogs. My schedule is flexible and governed by me. I love walking dogs and taking them to local parks. Learning about the owner's comfort level with their dog interacting with other dogs is always taken into account while walking their dog!

About: Ever since I was a baby, my family and I have had pets, so many that I can’t remember them all. Ive had two dogs that I was able to care for, one bird, hamsters, gerbils, and guinea pigs. I never have problems cleaning up after pets so cleanliness wont be an issue. In the past I had worked at an animal shelter called Small Miracles Dog and Cat Rescue. Im currently the dogpark attendant at the Columbia Association Dog Park, I work on the weekends from 6:30 AM to 11:45 AM in the winter and 6:30 AM to 1:45 PM in the Summer. Im still able to care for your pet right after work, it wont affect me one bit. When caring for pets, I always make sure that they feel comfortable, safe, loved and respected. I always make sure their needs are met at all times to avoid discomfort for them.

“Yutong did a fantastic job taking care of our 2 Shiba Inu boys while we were out of town for a couple of days. He was incredibly responsive, sent loads of photos and videos, and made us feel very sure that our dogs were happy and well cared for. We will certainly be reaching out to him again to take care of our dogs!”

About: I bring a mix of playful energy and reliable care, so pets get both attention and consistency while their owners are away. I naturally tune into each pet’s personality and demeanor—whether they’re excited, shy, anxious, or somewhere in between—and adjust my approach so they feel comfortable and understood. I have experience with both puppies and senior dogs up to 15 years old, and I’m comfortable following clear instructions for feeding, litter care, and medications when needed. I pay close attention to routines and small changes in behavior, especially after I’ve spent a visit or two with a pet, which helps me quickly pick up on what they need. And yes, I fully believe in zoomies, cuddle breaks, and earning a pet’s trust through snacks and patience. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine because I enjoy being active and spending time with animals. I’m able to provide consistent drop-in visits and walks while maintaining a flexible schedule that allows me to be reliable for pet parents. I focus on consistency, attentiveness, and following each pet’s routine exactly as provided. During walks and drop-in visits, I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and comfort level so I can respond appropriately and keep them relaxed and secure. I make sure to follow all instructions carefully, including feeding, leash safety, and home care details, and I take my time getting to know each pet so I can notice what is normal for them and quickly spot any changes. My goal is to build trust through calm, reliable care so pets feel safe and owners feel confident while they’re away.

About: I have never met an animal that I didn’t love. I have had pets since I was young and have sitted for a variety of families. What sets me apart from other sitters is that I have cared for many high demand pets. I’ve cared for young, old, sick, violent, and special needs animals. I feel confident in knowing how to handle almost any type of animal situation. I’ve taken care of cats, dogs, guinea pigs, hamsters, and fish. I’m open to embracing any-type of pet. I work a part time job at a golf course a few times a week. My schedule is very flexible and my shifts are no more than 7 hours long. I am able to switch things around to accommodate the needs of your pet. I always make sure to arrange some type of meet and greet with the pets before coming into a clients homes. This way the animals can feel more safe once I come into their home. Additionally, I always make sure to go over any routines and/or schedules with clients so that I can maintain stability and consistency for the pets.

“Magda is an amazing sitter. She watched our 4 cats for the first time over Christmas break. She is incredibly punctual and attentive to all of our cats special needs and even brought potential house issues to our attention. Her communication is on point, from the meet and greet throughout the actual sitting. Wouldn't hesitate to book her again.”

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I have 6 years of foster care experience, where I helped care for and rehome dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. For the past 2 years, I’ve also been dog sitting making sure pups get all the walks, playtime, and snuggles they need while their owners are away. I just graduated college, and while I’m saving up to welcome a dog of my own, Rover gives me the chance to do the next best thing spending time with yours! As an equestrian who grew up around horses, cats, and dogs, I’m comfortable with animals big and small, high-energy or laid-back. Whether it’s long walks, backyard fetch, or plenty of cuddle time, I’ll make sure your pet feels loved, safe, and cared for while you’re away. Because I work from home, I’m able to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I can provide walks every 2–3 hours, along with playtime, potty breaks, and snuggles in between. This makes it easy to keep your pet on their regular routine and make sure they never feel lonely. On weekends, my schedule is even more flexible, I’m available to provide walks and care as frequently as needed to keep your furry friend happy and comfortable. Whether your pet loves long walks, quick potty breaks, or extra cuddle sessions, I can adapt to their needs Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. When I provide care in your home, I treat it with the same respect and attention I’d want for my own. I carefully follow your pet’s routines, whether that means meal times, walks, or medications so they feel secure and stress free while you’re away. I keep a close eye on doors, gates, and leashes to ensure your pet is always safe, and I take the time to learn their unique personality so I can respond to their needs with patience and love. I also provide regular updates and photos so you know exactly how your furry family member is doing. My goal is to create a calm, trustworthy environment where pets feel cared for and owners feel confident their home and animals are in great hands

About: I have had a dog almost my entire life. We had dogs in our family growing up and I’d always be the go to person for pet care. I love all animals and actually used to want to be a vet. We recently lost our dog due to an abrupt illness. My heart was shattered and I miss having a dog in my life. She was such an important part of my life! I am a nurse and work weekends and nights as we also have a toddler and 2 other children. I am home and able to care for your dog weekdays. My baby loves to go for walks also and look at dogs. I’m available for drop ins or walks during the week, maybe some weekends also. I am an active person and love dogs so I’m always looking for a reason to go for a long walk! I often bring my toddler but he loves dogs and being outside and sits great in a stroller on walks. I am a firm believer in using leashes on walks and only using fenced areas outside. I am also comfortable with harnesses. We also respect if dogs are allowed on furniture or not.
