Pet Sitting in Dayton

About: In my 20s, I house and dogsat often when I was in the military for families when they were gone for the holidays. I also worked as an assistant veterinarian technician for about a year at 2 different clinics. I had a chocolate lab, who lived to be 12. I now have an 8 year old, rescue husky-mix and 3 year old brown border collie named Scout. I work full-time and have 2 children. My 13 year old daughter also helps. She has housesat for several weeks for 3 dogs and will be housesitting for 2 dogs & a cat this fall. Thank you for your consideration! I work full time, mostly a M-F schedule. As long as I have a couple days notice, I should be able to make a time work. I can run or walk with your dog. Or I can come to your house and keep them company and/or feed them there. I am active and love the outdoors.

About: I’d make an excellent dog sitter because I bring energy, attentiveness, and a genuine love for animals into everything I do. Even without formal experience, I’m highly responsible and quick to learn, which means I’ll carefully follow any instructions to keep each animal happy, healthy, and on their routine. I’m naturally patient and observant, so I can pick up on personality and needs with confidence! Whether that means playful energy, calm companionship, or extra care and reassurance. Most importantly, I truly enjoy spending time with animals, and I would treat every pet like my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and excited while their owner is away! I am currently working part time and going to school part time. I am free most days and want to still remain productive in any way I can. I ensure cleanliness and safety when it comes to being in someone’s home. I love to clean and tidy up whenever I can! As an introvert, I love quietness so noise isn’t something I emit a bunch of.

“Wendy did a fabulous job taking care of our two pups while we were gone. She was able to accommodate us last minute. We loved the updates she provided and photos. We will book her again in the future. Thank you Wendy!”

“Could not ask for a better pet sitter. Even when unforseen circumstances arrose she managed to take care of our beloved animals. And she ensured our puppers had lots of love. We had an issues with our automatic cat feeders malfunctioning and she helped make sure they were fed regardless. And we really appreciate how communicative she was answering any and all questions quickly. We'll definitely be using her services in the future.”

“Evan and his daughter Emma were amazing with my puppy Luna. My 3 month old puppy didn’t go potty in the house with him or in her crate which is amazing and he made she sure was taken care of and even sent me pictures then left a super kind letter for me at the end of his stay with her. Thank you so much and I highly recommend Evan!”

About: I have taken care of my dog since he was a puppy and my brothers do for about 4 years. I also work at a doggy day care and am around all sorts of dogs and understand body language. I work mostly on the weekends. I am most available to spend the most time with your pet during the week. I have school but no more than 2 hours a day. I provide attentive and reliable pet care either in my home or in the client’s home, depending on their preference. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, exercise, playtime, and any specific care instructions. I make sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and well-cared for by giving them plenty of attention and maintaining a clean environment. If caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space, keep everything tidy, and ensure the pet experiences minimal disruption to their normal routine. I am also comfortable administering medications if needed and monitoring pets for any changes in behavior or health. My goal is to provide a stress-free experience for both the pet and the owner.

About: Hi! I’ve always loved being around animals and have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’m comfortable with daily routines like feeding, walking, playtime, and giving lots of attention and affection so your pet feels safe and happy while you’re away. You can request any day but we’d have to discuss the time that works best for the both of us. We can work it out. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and secure environment where pets can feel relaxed and cared for at all times. I’m very attentive and always keep a close eye on behavior, energy levels, and any signs that something might be off.

About: I’ve been a devoted dog lover for over 17 years, caring not only for my own beloved dog—who lived a long, happy life to age 17—but also for the dogs of friends, family, and neighbors. I’ve had hands-on experience with a wide range of breeds and personalities, including Labradors, Retrievers, a Lab/Pug mix, Border Collies, Huskies, and Corgis. This has taught me how to tune into each dog’s unique needs, energy level, and temperament. What truly sets me apart is the way I care. I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs—whether that means active play, a calm check-in, or simply making sure they feel safe and loved while you’re away. I understand how important it is to trust the person entering your home and caring for your pet, and I take that responsibility seriously. Your dog won’t just be “checked on”—they’ll be cared for with kindness, respect, and real affection. How Pet Care Fits Into My Routine Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine, and I especially enjoy morning visits. I’m an early riser, so I’m reliable and available for those important first check-ins of the day—feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, and a calm, positive start for your dog. I plan my schedule around my visits to make sure each pet gets my full attention without feeling rushed. Mornings are a priority for me, but I also have flexibility to accommodate other times when needed. I truly enjoy these visits—they’re something I look forward to. Your dog will be greeted with kindness, patience, and genuine care every time I arrive. How I Care for Pets in Your Home I stop by and check in on your dog while you’re away for the day or weekend, so they can stay comfortable in their own home. During each visit, I make sure they have fresh water, are fed as you prefer, and get a potty break, attention, and some companionship. I like to take a little extra time with each dog—whether that’s a bit of play, a short walk, or just sitting with them so they feel relaxed and not alone. I keep my service area within about a 10-minute drive so I can be dependable and on time for every visit. As I get more established, I may also offer overnight stays for small dogs down the road. I treat every dog like they’re my own, because I know how much they mean to you.

“Holly and Blue adore Rachel! She was kind enough to stop by on her lunch to let them outside while my my Mom was on vacation, and she sent me fun photos of each visit. Thank you!”

About: Animals bring me peace and joy and I just can't help but want to be around them to support them. I have raised dogs and other animals throughout my life. I have had cats, fish, hamsters, and even hermit crabs. Animals are always full of life and hope. I have two dogs now. A mother and daughter. It really shows me how deep animals can feel. I love them. Pet sitting is my priority. I spend 24/7 at home unless I am at the park or running errands. I can devote ample time to pet care. I have a fenced yard and two small dogs. They go for walks, trips to the park, as well as off road fun. Like hiking, kayaking, and trail walks.

“Amber showed up on time and did everything asked. Would recommend her in the future”

About: I've been around pets my whole life. I currently have two senior dogs that I have raised since they were puppies and am familiar with administering animal medication as one of my dogs is diabetic. I have always had cats as well and am familiar with their needs and when to give them space. I am a full-time student, so traditional jobs are difficult, but I have plenty of time during the day for pet care. During the summer I am very available from mornings to afternoons to nights. I don't vacation often or have many obligations outside of school which allows me plenty of time for pets. I am willing to look after any age, any size and any temperament. I am willing to go to a client's home or take pets for walks or for a ride in the car if they enjoy. I don't have much experience in training, though I am learning, but I am patient and forgiving and will play fetch all day or be a cuddle buddy for the more sedentary pets too.

“Lily was a great help with a last-minute booking and took care of my kitties. Thank you!”

About: I love to take care of any type of dog. Big, small, they’re all my favorites. I have always had a love for dogs since i was a little girl. My first dog was a great dane/pit mix, her name was Charlie. Charlie was a rescue pup. My mom and i rescued her and she was a very expensive one to get healthy again. Charlie had parvo and lots of other things, but she is now doing better than ever and here we are 11 years later :). Seeing charlie grow into the beautiful dog she is today has grown my love for dogs. I then got another dog, Lulu, Lulu is a miniature Australian shepard and is almost two years old. Friends, family and neighbors have me feed, play, walk, and hike with their dogs because it is something i’ve always loved to do! I also have two cats, one is 16 years old and the other is 7 years old. Pet care is something I always make sure to fit in my schedule. I work part time so i have a lot of time to fit in walks, play time, and some hikes. I have a fenced yard and have tons of treats, toys and another doggo to keep your fur baby some company while you’re away :)

“Kind, respectful, and knowledgeable, Olivia is the BEST! I was gone for ten days and didn’t have a worry about my kitties thanks to her care. 10/10, Would Cat Again!”

“Jessica was supper helpful watching our 95lb golden retriever while we were away for a week. She was super flexible and was able to even help us twice a day! Will use in the future.”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with over 5 years of experience as a veterinary technician, along with hands-on experience volunteering at animal shelters. I also grew up helping my mom run her dog boarding business, so caring for dogs has always been a big part of my life. Right now, I’m taking a break from vet tech work, which gives me more time to focus on what I truly love—spending time with dogs! I share my home with two wonderful pups who are the loves of my life. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or just providing loving care and attention, I’m here to make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and right at home. Every dog is special, and I treat each one like family. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend! I’m taking a break from the vet hospital and am available almost any day. My schedule is very flexible. Let me know what works best for you. Your fluffy friend is safe with me. If you are boarding I have a large house with a big backyard and plenty of toys. I’m always willing to do a meet and greet ahead of time.

About: I have hands on experience working at a doggy daycare, where I cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. In addition to dogs, I have experience handling and caring for cats and small animals, including rodents. Pet care is an important and fulfilling part of my weekly routine. I work a job, so I’m fully available on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. If there is a change, I will notify you. On the other days, I can provide care between the hours of 7- 10 PM. I make sure to plan my schedule carefully, so both of our schedules align and so I can give pets the time, attention, and consistency they need. When caring for pets in their own home, I make it a priority to keep them comfortable by following their usual routine... feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and more. I give them as much love and affection as I would my own, always aiming to keep their tails wagging, etc. I treat every home with respect and make sure it stays secure and clean. I also send regular updates and photos to the owners so they can feel at ease, knowing their pets are happy, safe, and well cared for.

“Leah was awesome! My pups immediately liked her and she was super accommodating when I needed some extra visits. She's my first choice going forward!”
