“Arlissa was a great host for our puppy! Plenty of activity throughout the day and she has great communication. She even threw in several photos/videos. We wouldn’t hesitate to use her again!”


“Excellent job! Stayed in touch and we knew our pup was in good hands. Can't wait to have her over again!”


“My little baby has a wonderful time. She gets lots of play time and always excited to see her. Cassie is great!”


“My shy pup had such an amazing time at Abigail's! He's always so eager to come home and see me arrive, but when I came to pick him up from Abgails, he wasn't ready to leave! He even made 2 dog friends; which is very impressive for him on day one of meeting everyone. I can't recommend Abigail enough! We will be returning :)”


“I appreciate Sierra and how responsive she was with messages, gave updates and worked with my schedule. My pup came home tired after a full day of getting energy out and playing.”


“Pickle was treated like a king.he Tom took him to the dog park daily. Tom is very friendly and cares about dogs. I would recommend Tom and I am going to use his services again.”


“He was always respectful and quick to respond.He was flexible to have a meet and greet before leaving our pup for the day with him! Thank you for taking good care of him during the meet and greet mini date and looking forward to the full day soon.”


“Rebecca is the sweetest and most flexible person but most importantly, my dogs love her and her dogs! I love the photos and video updates that I receive throughout the day. My pups have come home so tired and happy after daycare, sometimes they don’t want to leave. Would highly recommend her, can’t wait to take them back!”


“Casey and her brother were fantastic with Wren! She came back tired from playing all day, and ready to cuddle up and sleep! Casey sent me updates with pictures and videos throughout the 9 hours she had her, which made me feel good about leaving my girl with her!”


“I was coming to a Dayton Ohio for work and I was bringing my mini golden doodle pup along. I needed someone trustworthy to watch my baby boy, Arlo. I came across Katherine’s profile and immediately had that instinct that she was the one 😊 she was accommodating to my over protective mommy needs and agreed to hop on a zoom call with me beforehand. She was warm, nice and kind. It also helped she has 3 adorable little fur baby girls too. For the 4 days I was here for work she would take care of Arlo for me all day. She was extremely responsive and would send me pictures and videos all day without me even having to ask. She has a nice big fenced in backyard that Arlo loved running around freely in all day. Each evening I would pick him up he was exhausted from having fun playing all day. (His besty was her dog, Vanilla) 😊 I cannot recommend Katherine enough. She made my experience great and worry free. Thank you so much for taking great care of Arlo.”


About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, from a 15lbs mini golden to a 130lbs mastiff. I love taking long walks no matter the weather (as long the dog is comfortable!) and have experience with senior dogs who require a lot of love and attention, and sometimes lots of medication. If your pet had specific needs, I can certainly make sure they’re taken care of the best way they can be! I have similar experience with cats, caring for teething kittens and senior cats who need extra attention. I love cats, but I understand sometimes they take longer to warm up. I don’t mind just hanging around until they feel comfortable enough to come up to me themselves. My number one priority is making sure your pet is comfortable and cared for. I’m a full time college student who’s lived in the Dayton area my whole life, allowing me to watch pets in the area year round (I’m a rising senior at the University of Dayton). I currently have an online internship, but it’s unpaid and I don’t get a lot of work to do. I have lots of time to devote to taking care of your critters. I’m willing to stay with pets for as long as they need, whether that means overnight or just some company during the day. I’m patient with pets that are wary of strangers; I do what I can to respect their boundaries. I will always wait until they’re comfortable enough to come up to me. I have a dog at home who is very nervous around new people. Because she’s so big we have to be very careful of how we introduce her to people. She’s a high maintenance lady, that’s for sure! But she loves just having company, and I know that many pets just want to have someone to be around.


“I was very happy with how things went; was in the Dayton area to check out a business possibility and wasn't sure how long I might need daycare for. Carol & Jessica were very flexible, and I was comfortable leaving my pup Maggie with them on a Saturday morning. Highly recommend!”


About: Hello there! My name is Abby and I am a 27 year old exotic animal keeper, as well as cats and dogs. I have several different species ranging from large snakes to chameleons. I have been caring for exotic species for the last five years. I also care for dogs and cats. I’ve had 20 years of dog and cat care experience. I got my first dog, Sophie, when I was just five years old. Throughout the years, I cared for her and many other dogs and cats growing up. Right now, I have four of my own dogs and fourteen cats who are extremely spoiled! When watching your pet, expect them to be spoiled and loved just like they’re my own. I have experience with giving medication to both cats and dogs. I also had a senior cat that required special care and know how to provide care for any senior animal. I can care for your exotic animals in my house, as I have a separate room for my own exotics. Dogs and cats that stay with me will have their own room and set up as well. I also can provide drop in visits for your furry friends. For cats, I provide toys, cat trees, cat beds, and a hammock. I ask that you bring their food, bowls, litter, and litter boxes and any other special items they may need. Same goes for any dogs :) I have worked as a foster for shelters in Columbus for three years as well, so I am used to providing 24/7 care for other animals. I work from home full time, so I am able to have a very flexible schedule. If you need your animal cared for in my home, I am able to provide that service. I get off of work in the early evening, which gives me plenty of time to do drop in visits after work. My yard is fenced in, which is great for your doggie kiddos. I also do not let my cats outdoors, so any cat staying with me will be safe in the home. I have a dedicated room in our home where I house all of my rover guests away from our pets. Small dogs are okay to be boarded in my home, as well as any cats as long as they are litter box trained.

“Yolena was great with communication for my last minute request! I appreciate her willingness to work with Rexie and I!”


“Courtney was able to watch my two dogs for the day - last minute booking. She was kind enough to offer the service of driving all the way to Springdale to pick up and drop off my pups while I was able to enjoy the day hiking in Zion. I have her booked again in a few days and know Chui can’t wait .”


About: I’ve loved and cared for a variety of animals throughout my life. I’ve had dogs, cats, a parakeet, hamsters, gerbils, rats, ferrets, fish, a bearded dragon, and a red tail boa. I LOVE animals. When I was a kid I would even spend my weekends at our local pet shop holding and playing with their animals. I am a mother of two teenagers, and have been a small business owner, so I am extremely responsible, reliable, caring, attentive to detail, and have the skills to do anything necessary to care for your pets. I am available most of the time, and my time is flexible. I recently sold my half of my small business and am now taking some time for myself (that I want to fill with animals!), so I am almost always available and flexible. We have a fenced in yard, but we also live in a beautiful historic neighborhood and love taking walks around the neighborhood and to the park as often as possible.

“Jillian was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond to take care of our puppy and gave her so much love and attention. She sent us pics and videos throughout the day and even got her to go potty outside for the first time!”


About: I’ve loved animals since I was child. Not only am I a cat-mom to the most adorable senior cat. Over the years I have cared for friend/family’s fur babies. I also have volunteered with the Humane Society and have worked as a Pet Care Coordinator for a major pet care service. Skills: - Senior Cat Experience -Senior Dog Experience I’m currently working remotely full-time. That allows for me to be flexible for early morning and evening visits/walks. I’m also pretty open with availability on the weekends. Currently, my cat is not comfortable with other cats or large dogs, so I am only able to care for small dogs in my home. However, I will give your fur child the love and care that they would expect from their family members in the comfort of their own home. (Nobody can replace mom or dad’s love)

About: Hi! Meet us, Rebecca and Ethan 😁 We love pets! Ethan grew up with several dogs, ranging from puppies to older dogs. Our family loved an Aussie of our own for several years. Unfortunately she passed on a few years ago. We aren’t ready to have another dog yet, so we truly love taking care of our friends and family’s dogs! Rebecca is a stay at home mom with complete flexibility in her schedule. Ethan works from home and loves taking pups for walks and even on his daily runs if the dog is up for it! We live in a very safe neighborhood that is great for walking dogs! We have a fenced in back yard, and room in our home for your dog! We have a cat who honestly stays clear of dogs when we have them staying with us. We have three kids who love having dog friends come to our house!

“Highly recommend Daphne. It was the first time leaving our puppy and Daphne and her family were great and so welcoming from the meet and greet to final pick up. Daphne sent pics and videos throughout the day and our puppy was clearly happy and being well cared for. All aspects of our experience 5 stars!!”
