“Goldie, being a rescue, is a really anxious and apprehensive dog. Lydia was awesome with her, she has the expertise (being a foster for a rescue) to make the dog feel comfortable and safe. Goldie was really spoiled in her stay, we also ran into a delay in our trip and Lydia was awesome and understanding. I totally recommend her for sitting your dog!!”

About: I have provided care and enrichment for a variety of animals throughout my life, from hamsters all the way up to farm animals. I have had multiple jobs in animal care, acquired a bachelor’s degree that required multiple animal-related care internships, and have personally cared for many family pets in their own homes. I'M OFFICIALLY FULL-TIME IN PERSONAL PET CARE ☺️ If a pet parent is flexible with their schedule I can fit it around my other clients! Especially for walks or drop ins. I'm going full-time on pet care for a little while I am content to go for long walks or trips to a dog park, or just lounge around the house with the occasional trip outside all depending on what your pet prefers. I will follow all instructions on their meals and any meds they may have.

“Rocky and Daisy loved their stay with Kristin. There were regular updates with plenty of photos, which I greatly appreciated! And when my return flight was delayed, she was very helpful in coordinating my brother picking up the dogs! Overall great experience and hope to use her services again!”

About: Animals have been a big part of my life since I was born. Our family had pets ranging from cats and dogs to pigs and horses. I worked at a family vet clinic that gave me skills with animals and knowledge of when they just aren't feeling right and contacts of who to call. I also have pet sat for friends and family for 8 years. Your pet will become my own when I pet sit. They will be spoiled and loved and I am very good at following directions exactly. I am blessed to have a very flexible schedule and am able to fit pet care in when needed. I myself currently have one cat and dog who I care for and spoil at home. However they have other family members who step up when I am needed elsewhere. I do not offer care in my home as I have a small apartment and pets of my own. However I make sure to build trust and create a safe and loving environment whenever I enter another's home. I make sure to get all the information I can about the pet I will be caring for and bring instructions with me to make sure I follow them exactly. I will do whatever is suggested to help the pet feel comfortable and loved and I have many tricks from experience with rowdy or shy animals to help if no instructions are offered. I have open communication with my families and love to send pictures and updates to help keep minds at ease.
“Geniya was fantastic, I felt safe and good about leaving my Hemi & Daisy with her. She sent updates and pictures which I appreciated . I would definitely have her watch my two again.”


“Brandy and Brandon were amazing sitters for my boy! They are very friendly with a clean and welcoming home! I really appreciated the level of communication, frequently sending updates and photos! Dunkin had a blast and will absolutely be back!”

About: I have been trusted by family & friends to watch their beloved pets for years! Now that I own my home, my fiancé and I have 4 pets together (2 dogs & 2 cats) that we have learned so much from! We are also certified fosters through 2 different groups. I have experience with caring for & training puppies & kittens, post op care, and basic medical needs (ie eye drops/oral medication). Taking care of your pets & mine is my number one priority! Working a flexible, part-time, wfh job gives me the ability to make animal care my priority! Pets will be tended to at their normal schedule to keep them as comfortable as possible. All pets will be left alone as minimally as possible (0-3 hours per day), and will be crated/contained when alone. Pets in my care will be treated just as my own, and be given the most attention and love possible. Pets will be crated or contained when alone & at nighttime (8 hours or less if needed). Pets will be given lots of outside time (on leash) and enrichment activities like puzzle feeders, snuffle mat, training for fun, etc, will be provided.
About: House sitting has been something I have done for over 5 years now. From family friends to friend of a friend, and even through social media, I enjoy meeting new people and loving on their animals! I live with 1 dog and LOVE her very much. So caring for someone else animals is just as important. I have also done drop ins when families are gone for a long day and take the dogs out for nature walks, or just an afternoon in the backyard. I am very aware when it comes to animals needs and emotions, having grown up with multiple dogs at a time. Dogs are a big part of my life and I would love to meet yours to build another doggy friendship :) I currently work part time - Wednesday and Thursday. I am at home with my 2 daughters during the week and they will join me on any day walks or drop ins :) I have years of experience with different types of dogs (breeds, temperament, size etc.) and I have never come across an animal that I felt I was unable to care for.

I’ve always loved being around dogs because they’re more than just pets—they’re family. I know how hard it can be to leave your dog with someone else, so my goal is to make sure both you and your pup feel comfortable from the very beginning. I’m the kind of person who enjoys getting outside for walks, playing fetch, giving belly rubs, or just relaxing with a dog that wants some company. Every dog is different, so I’ll take the time to learn their routine, personality, and what makes them happiest. I’m reliable, patient, and pay attention to the little things. Whether it’s sticking to a feeding schedule, giving medication exactly as instructed, or making sure your dog gets the exercise and love they need, I’ll care for them the same way I’d want someone to care for my own. You’ll get plenty of photo and video updates while you’re away, so you can relax knowing your best friend is safe, happy, and in good hands. I’d love the chance to meet you and your dog and become someone you can count on whenever you need a trusted sitter.

I keep my schedule up to date and only accept bookings when I know I can give your pet the attention they deserve. Whether it’s before work, after work, or on my days off, your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my priority.

I provide a clean, secure environment where your pet will get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection.

About: I have rescued animals and taken care of them my entire life:) I have unbreakably strong empathy for animals in need, and their owners! I’ve had experience with administering medication to my own rescues, and experience with elderly dog/kitty care. I devote my time and energy happily to every animal I meet, and no fur baby goes unnoticed or uncared for. As long as your pet is under my care, they will always be safe and loved! I’m working part time currently, so I have plenty of availability to take on fur babies! I’m available every weekday for anytime, and weekends after 3pm I have a fenced in back patio, and plenty of outdoor space for walks and potties! And I have two kitties of my own to keep any other puppies/kitties company. I have a two story townhouse where there is plenty of space
About: I have a degree in veterinary technology and used to work in clinics and veterinary ER. I personally have three dogs, three guinea pigs a bearded dragon and am fostering a kitten. I take the care of animals to heart and cater my approach to each of their personalities. I can perform CPR if needed and am able to administer medications and help with any specialized needs. I’ve worked with dogs and cats of all ages and can meet their needs. I also can manage exotic animals. If you have any questions don’t hesitate to ask! I work from home so my schedule is flexible. I keep my dogs on somewhat of a routine as I have semi high energy breeds. Though we do lounge around at home when they’re feeling lazy. I treat all animals with the highest level of care whether it is my own pet or someone else’s. I have my eyes on the pets at all times both inside and outside of the home. I worked in the veterinary field through college and retired in 2024. All that knowledge stays with me and I continue to stay up to date on animal care. You will get regular photo updates of your babies during my drop in’s and/or boarding.

Kathelyn was great with my pups. It was a last minute booking and she and her husband were amazing. She sent photos and a video. My small dog sometimes takes time to warm up to people but he seemed to do just fine. She was very responsive to my messages. I would definitely use her again if we come back to Dayton again!
