Pet Sitting in Dayton

About: I may be new to Rover, but I’ve grown up around dogs and currently have a dog of my own, so I understand the patience, attention, and care pets need every day. I’ve also helped friends and family care for their dogs, including feeding, walking, playing, and making sure they feel comfortable while their owners are away. What makes me different is that I truly treat every dog like family and want them to feel safe, loved, and cared for, not just watched. Since I am not in school right now, I have a very flexible schedule throughout the week and weekends! I’d love to help care for your pets and make sure they feel comfortable and loved while you’re away. I provide care for pets in my client’s home so they can stay comfortable in a familiar environment and keep their normal routine. I make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and bathroom breaks, and I always try to make them feel safe and cared for while their owners are away. I also respect my client’s home and keep them updated with photos and messages for peace of mind.

“Jenna was outstanding and reliable. She took wonderful care of our two cats (one male, one female) while we were out of town. Each cat requires different feeding and care and she handled that without a hitch. She kept us posted and sent plenty of pictures. We highly recommend her and if available, will gladly ask her to take care of our cats again next time we're away.”

About: Hi! I’ve been caring for dogs for over 15 years and truly love spending time with animals. I’ve raised and trained my own Lab (now 10), so I understand how important it is for dogs to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in a way that’s consistent with what they’re used to. I naturally pay attention to each dog’s personality and energy. Some love long walks and playtime, while others just want a calm presence and a little extra comfort—and I’m happy to meet them exactly where they’re at. Building trust with animals is really important to me, and I try to create an environment where they feel relaxed and at ease. Right now I have a very flexible weekday schedule, so I’m able to give your pet plenty of time, attention, and care. Whether it’s walks, drop-in visits, or just spending time keeping them company, I’ll make sure they’re well taken care of and sticking to their normal routine. I’m comfortable following whatever works best for your pet—crating, free roaming, feeding schedules, medications, or training. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone, and I take that seriously. As I continue on Rover, I’d love to eventually offer boarding and build long-term relationships with both pets and their owners. I’d love to meet you and your dog! I have a super flexible schedule right now, which allows me to give plenty of time and attention to your pet. Whether you need someone just to give a quick pet or to give them dinner, I have time for your loved one. I am dedicated to keeping your pet as comfortable as possible. Building trust and understanding an animal’s routine is essential for success. Whether your pet free roams or is crate trained, I try to make things as easy and stress free as possible for them.

About: Hello! Thank you for considering me to take care of your beloved pets! I've been taking care of dogs and cats since I was 7. I personally have one cat that I have been the sole taker of for 17 years. I have had many family members and friends trust me to take care of their dogs while they are out of town; which includes but is not limited to: walk, feed, play, bathe, cuddle and love them. I also work part time at a dog daycare, taking care of dozens of dogs and showing them all love and great care. I have other responsibilities at the dog daycare that include bathing dogs and trimming their nails. I do have my own clippers and dreamers and would be more with a willing to do your dogs nails for a small extra fee! I work a full time job Monday-Friday. I am available anytime after 4:30 pm to take care of your animal(s)! If you want someone to stay at your house, (I don’t mind and sometimes prefer), I will be able to let them out before work and head to your house immediately after work! I am more than willing to watch your pets during the week, just know I am gone for work for 8-9 hours during the day. My weekends usually include working at a dog daycare. I’m gone Saturday mornings for 6 hours and Sunday night for 5 hours. I can still house sit or work around my schedule to do drop in visits! I can stay at your place or do drop in visits! Typically, I prefer to stay at someone’s house while watching their pets, more snuggle time!

“Mya did an awesome job!! She took lots of pictures and gave updates for each animal :). She is super sweet and goes above and beyond!! We will definitely be using her again!”

“My first time on this pet sitting app and with Amy. I highly recommend it and her. I make a mistake in booking dates and she was very understanding and accommodating. Way beyond expectations. She took great care of my dog and I loved getting the thorough updates.”

About: I've never had a dog before but I've always been drawn to them and plan to have one of my own in the future. I have dog sitted for some of my friends in the past and it allowed me to gain experience on caring for a pet without having one I work full time but I am available during the weekdays and weekends as needed. I can also stay overnight depending on the day! As long as it is communicated beforehand :) I don't currently have any pets but when I did, I was creative and quick witted to come up with safe, reliable ways to restrict my pet from going into a place they are not supposed to. For example, when I had a cat I used a very tall room divider to prevent my cat from going where he wasn't supposed to.

About: I work from home full time and have two small dogs of my own. I also am active in a pet rescue and have experience as a foster for dogs as well as working at volunteer events. I love spending time with dogs whether it is walking, playing or relaxing in the house together. I have grown up with dogs ranging from 10 pounds to 120 pounds. Before meeting your dog it would be nice to know what commands they know, and how they listen best. I have experience with training basic obedience and would love to maintain the habits you have incorporated in their lives. I have experience with giving oral medication as well as topical. I have also worked with dogs that have orthopedic injury before and after surgery and am knowledgeable in how to keep them safe while getting outside. I’m excited to get to know your pup! I work from home full time during the week and have a flexible schedule. I can do early morning drop ins, afternoon walks, or before bed potty breaks. I treat my pets like my children. I get to know their preferences and try to make them as happy as possible. I try to treat guest dogs the same and make them as comfortable as possible while their humans are away.

About: I don’t remember a time in my life that I wasn’t caring for pets! I currently have 2 dogs and 1 cat of my own. I have also cared for dogs, cats, and even exotic pets for family and friends away on long trips since I was around 10 years old. I love all animals (even bugs🩷) and I can guarantee I’ll care for your pet like my own! I am a college student home for the summer, so my calendar is free! I keep my schedule updated and I accept bookings almost anytime. I’m flexible! Whatever your pet is used to, I can match. In my own home, I ensure the kitty has food, water, and clean litter box available at all times. We play for 15 minutes a day at minimum, but he’s a very hyper cat so he runs around on his own half the time. For my dogs, I let them outside whenever they ask to be let outside haha. If your dog has a schedule, I’ll follow it. I feed them twice a day and ensure they have water at all times. I play with one of my dogs for about 30 minutes each day, the other one doesn’t like to play (She’s a bit strange…). Whatever your pet needs, I can do! I will do my best to keep their routine as unchanged as possible while you’re away.

“Alisha was wonderful with my cats! She took great photos each day and kept me in the loop about everything going on. I highly recommend her!”

“Emma helped me out big time when I needed a last minute drop in for my standard poodle mix Nilla. She sent me updates and Nilla was happy to have the company! She followed all directions seamlessly and asked questions if she had them. Would definitely recommend Emma and am looking forward to reaching out to her in the future!”
