Dog Sitting in Dayton

“Macy is a great cat sitter! I was out of town for a weekend and Macy watched my anxious senior fluff ball while I was gone. I got tons of in detail updates about him and he even came out when Macy stopped by, which is unusual for him since he can be a bit scared of new people! I came home to a very happy kitty, so I’d definitely recommend Macy as a cat sitter!”

“Elizabeth has won over our very shy puppy! All the animals are excited when Elizabeth does drop-in visits. I love how much my furbabies love Elizabeth. I also feel very confident that they are getting great care when Elizabeth checks in on them. Elizabeth is very communicative, which makes booking her services and knowing how things are going a breeze. She also takes the cutest pics of my pets. I definitely recommend Elizabeth.”

“Liesa is professional and trustworthy. She took care of our dogs when we were out of town. She sent lots of pictures and was respectful to our home. We will 100% hire Liesa again.”

About: I'm a dog mom of 2 bull Terriers. Have had several different breeds my entire life. I love them all and enjoy each and every one of them! I currently work a full time 8-5 job. Looking to eventually take care of animals full time! This is part time for me at the moment. I will take care of your babies just as I would my own. I have several references on my care for my animals and theirs. I'm honest and caring.

About: I have experience caring for both dogs and cats, including energetic puppies and older pets that need extra attention. I’m comfortable with administering medication, following specific routines, and making sure each pet feels safe and loved while their owner is away. I have a full time job, but want to do a little more by doing something that I enjoy doing. That is being around animals. I have a back yard with a fence and security for your pet. That way they will be able to exercise and explore under the sun.

About: I have taken care of my dogs for around 10 years now. My neighbors and my friend's family's friend have asked me to see you, play with, and watch their dogs for periods of time. Sometimes, they have even asked me to give medications to their dog(s). I am currently a full-time university student. During breaks, when I am at home, I am usually the first person to wake up. When this happens, I am the first person to wake my dogs up and feed them in the morning. I am trying to get better about taking them on walks because it is beneficial to both of my dogs as well as myself. As for my dogs, we have an electric fence set up around our home with the appropriate colors. Although as for dogs that I am asked to take care of, I always make sure to check with the owners. People have different ways of keeping their pets safe, and I want to make sure to respect that as much as possible.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was in grad school. Mainly took care of medium to large dogs, from puppies to 10+ years old. I have a 1 year old GSP named Miles who keeps me occupied most of the time. I work 7:30-3:30 most days during the week (regular full time job). But my weekends are usually open. I do quite a few different activities to keep my little guy occupied (and I think your pup will like them too). Activities include fetch, running, hiking, some scent work, etc. I have a 7 foot tall vinyl fence that my little guys loves to play in. I also have a medium sized crate and pad to keep your pup in. I mostly keep hard chew toys around and plenty of treats.

“Marisha has taken care of our 3 cats several times. She is conscientious and excellent at comminicating. She has also been willing to feed community cats (at our request) that stop by. She has gone above and beyond on a couple of occasions. I will hire her again.”

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life. I’ve spent a couple years volunteering at animal shelter, where I was required to learn how to work with many different personalities. I’m very knowledgeable when it comes to reading dogs body language and figuring out their needs. I fed, walked, and played with many pups. I have 10 years of experience, taking care dogs. Neighbor, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I’ll enjoy taking your pup on long walks and hikes, basically anywhere dogs are allowed. I am very passionate about our furry friends and treat them with love and compassion, I will love your pup like it were my own. I currently have a flexible schedule so I can work from home if I need to. I normally do potty breaks every 4 hours. I also have a schedule of feeding twice a day but if you prefer a specific schedule let me know. Teddy is a friendly pup and will keep your dog entertained. I normally don’t crate dogs unless it is necessary. If you prefer your dog being crated or is being trained let me know. Your dog will be loved and cared for.

About: I will happily care for your pet in the comfort of their own home. Whether your pet wants to lay around or go for a hike, we can do that! I have experience training a dog of my own, so I can maintain your usual basic training/rules if needed. I also have experience giving medication. I have plenty availability in my schedule to fit your needs. I am currently available nearly 24/7. I am not away for longer than 8 hours at a time any given day. I will care for your pet in your own home. I will abide by the rules of your home and look after your pet like they were my own.

“I am so glad Kelly was available for a drop in visit. Her communication was top-notch. She was also extremely reliable, punctual, and clearly experienced with animals. You can tell she truly loves what she does, and it shows in how she cares for your pet like they’re her own. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and professional, I highly recommend Kelly. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”

“Great! I needed a dog walker unexpectedly and she responded immediately and walked my (very hard to manage) large puppy. I got a nice picture of my sweet and worn out puppy after her walk.”

About: Hi! I’m Isabella. I am 21 years old and a University of Dayton student studying law. On top of that, I am a lifelong dog lover and experienced handler. I grew up in a house with five dogs and have been surrounded by animals ever since. Most recently, I worked as a dog handler at Flyer’s Paw Zone, where I managed group dog behavior in a busy daycare setting. I’m trained in reading canine body language, quickly de-escalating conflicts, and recognizing signs of stress. I also regularly walked dogs of all sizes and energy levels during my time at Flyer’s Paw Zone. Whether you need a regular dog walker, or someone to pop in while you’re away, I will be there. As a college student, I have flexible availability and can easily adapt to your dogs specific needs/schedule. I am also available to do overnight dog sitting. I currently have a very flexible availability due to being in undergrad. Please contact me and we can set something up that works for the both of us. At the moment, I own two cats. My three dogs are at home with my mom. I regularly walk and take care of all three of them when I go visit my mom.

“Not only is Dorothy an excellent dog sitter, but she is a true animal lover! This was confirmed at our meet and greet when she rescued a parakeet that had gotten itself lost and seemed to be begging her for help! It was amazing! Happily, the parakeet has found a wonderful, forever home with Dorothy! She is great!!!”

“We knew 5 minutes after Bri walked in for a meet and greet that our dogs would be in great hands!!! Our dog, Shiloh does NOT easily warm up to anyone very quickly but with Bri, it was almost immediate and she was snuggled up against her, enjoying being petted. Our cat also really liked her too. (And she really does not like ANY strangers!!) Bri is a very kind girl and very obviously great with animals!! We were VERY happy with Bri as a pet sitter and highly recommend her.”

“A kind, communicative, and thorough pet sitter. She did a great job with my cat’s drop-in visits during the week and I had no issues. Attentive and did what I asked plus more! I’d recommend Heavyn-Ley.”

About: I grew up around dogs, caring for all breeds and sizes. I am experienced in puppy care, senior dogs, and providing loving attention to every furry friend. With a flexible job and my law studies, I have plenty of free time to offer personalized care for your pet. I can easily adjust my schedule to provide walks, playtime, and attention whenever needed. I provide a safe, familiar environment by following your pet’s routine, ensuring their comfort and well-being. I’m careful with home safety and always keep you updated.

About: What sets me apart is my reliability, calm energy, and experience with pets of all ages and needs—including administering medication and caring for senior animals. As a full-time military member, I’m disciplined, trustworthy, and great at following routines, which pets really respond to. I don’t just “watch” pets—I bond with them. I pay close attention to their personalities and body language so I can make them feel safe, seen, and loved. Whether it’s a shy cat, an energetic puppy, or a dog that needs meds at a certain hour, I take pride in getting it right. As a full-time military member, I have a structured schedule that allows me to plan pet care in advance. I’m available for boarding on weekends and for evening drop-ins or walks during the week after 4:30 p.m. I’m reliable, punctual, and committed to making sure your pet gets the care and attention they deserve. I live in a clean, pet-friendly apartment with plenty of space for your dog or cat to feel at home. While I don’t have a yard, I take pets on regular walks and give them lots of indoor playtime and attention. I’m comfortable with crates, giving medications, and maintaining routines that help pets feel secure and cared for.

“Jeffery is very patient with our shy kitty - he spent all week getting her comfortable enough to come out of hiding and cuddle.”
