House Sitting in Dayton

“After our first meet and greets and first overnight stay.....I WILL NOT stop singing Hayes' praises! The level of care, calmness, and communication was second to none and I'm so thankful to Rover for bringing us together. Without a doubt - will LOVE to have Hayes back in our home with our fur baby!”

“Gloriahna did a great job with our two pups. She sent regular updates and photos. She asked for tips when they were hesitant (our dogs get very nervous when we’re away) and allowed us to have a stress free time away.”

“Jamie was great. My husband and I spent a long day at the MN State Fair, and it was relaxing to know that our dog and cat were being taken care of while we had fun. Will definitely rebook. ?”

“Miriam did a great job with Ellie while we were out of town for 4 days. She was conscientious about sending pictures and videos and Ellie obviously liked her. Miriam groomed Ellie regularly, which was above what I expected, and she played with her as much as Ellie wanted. She also took good care of the house and we came back to everything being spotless and in order. I will definitely ask for her again.”

“We needed a dog sitter for just one night for our dogs and were hoping to find someone we can use long-term for when we need to go out of town. Annie was great! She came to our home to meet us first. She asked all the right questions about our dogs so she could give them the best care. She was very personable and great with our dogs. She communicated with us and sent pics while we were gone. We felt very comfortable with her in our home caring for our dogs. We will definitely be using Annie again!”

“Kevin was awesome. Very accommodating and kind to our pugs. They enjoyed having him watch them and we will definitely be contacting him again.”

“Shelby was awesome! Dogs were so well taken care of and were calm and relaxed when I got home. She sent updates and pics while she was there with them. Would definitely recommend Shelby!”

“Tami had been fantastic with our fur babies and we know we can always trust her to provide the best care for them. We have a quintessential scaredy cat, and Tami emerged as a beacon of patience and love. With the gentle touch of a true animal lover, Tami charmed her way into Pixel’s kitty heart. Her passionate devotion to our fur babies’ well-being means we can travel with ease and it’s such a relief to know they are in the best hands!”

“Courtney was great! She had awesome communication and went above and beyond to help us out with our dogs on our wedding day. Quick communication too! Our dogs were clearly at ease around her.”

“Renee did a great job caring for Charlie & George”

“Emma was on time for our meet and greet and on the day she cared for our dog. She listened to and followed all instructions, asked appropriate questions, and took excellent care of our dog at our home. Next time I need a dog-sitter I will contact Emma first.”

“Veronika is without a doubt the most passionate animal person I know. Every time I go somewhere with her she wants to pet, and play with every animal she sees. She is also amazing in the fact that she will always do any grooming-related chores with my dog such as clipping his nails and brushing him bi-weekly. I think she is a perfect caregiver for any type of animal and I would confidently leave my dog with her for 1 month or more without worrying for one second.”

“Kimber took great care of our boys while we were away! They were calm and happy when we got home 🏡 We would definitely book with Kimber in the future!”

“Jane is easy to work with and the dogs were very tired when I got home, which was good for me as I was exhausted from traveling. She went outside of her norm to help us out and put the needs of our dogs first. Really appreciate Jane's flexibility and her care of our beloved pets.”

“Rachel was great with our German shepherd! Amazing!”

About: Hi friends! Thanks for stopping by! let me introduce myself. My name is Julie Smith. We are transplants to Minnesota. My husband and I are both Air Force brats, so we grew up all over the world. My childhood dog (Rok-e) was adopted from south Korea when I was 9. He was a very loved, purebred lab. We said goodbye to him when I was 21, a few months before my husband and I got married. We do not have any animals of our own but we love to care of other's animals. Our kids enjoy having responsibilities with the dogs such as getting them water and helping to feed them. In our home, your dog will have lots of space to run and play. They will get lots of pets and love from us and our kids. A typical day in our house goes as follows: Wake up between 6 and 630. Breakfast by 730 Morning exercises (walking the dog, go to the park, etc.) Preschool drop off - happy to take the dog with me, if they do okay in the car. Lunch/quiet time Play time (outside, unless it is way too cold)/walk and potty break) Training/skill building for the kids and the dog Dinner Evening walk/exercise Quiet time 7/730 Bed time for adults around 10 We have a large, fully fenced yard (3/4 of it is a tall privacy fence and the back of it is 4 ft chain link fence with a large field behind our house). We have 3 kids who will help spoil and play with your fur baby. We will take your dog on walks (rain or shine) and help their social skills being around children. There are no other animals in the house.

“Emma has taken care of a variety of our family’s pets - from guinea pigs to cats to small dogs (an older mini doxie with health problems to a mini doxie puppy) and large dogs (a 135lb BRT). She loves them like they are her own. Our BRT required medication which Emma had to give on multiple occasions. We trust her to keep our fur kids healthy, happy and loved when we can’t!”

“Allison did a wonderful job taking care of our best bud. She was very communicative, understood and listened to our quirky tips and loved him like her own. Definitely recommend and and will definitely reach out again!”

About: I've taken care of animals all my life. I am very time-oriented and very meticulous. My friends always come to me to take care of their animals while away because they know their pets' schedules and lifestyles won't change. I currently work full time and, while I'm not home during the weekdays, my partner is a Rover sitter, too)! She works from home so your pet will never be left alone. Whatever you need I can do. I won't introduce or take away anything that isn't normal to your animal. I believe consistency is key and creates a familiar environment for your pet.

“Sara was amazing! She was punctual and the dogs loved her, I also loved the pictures and updates she gave me. We will definitely be choosing her for next time!”
