“Christina and her pack are wonderful! A lovely family and friendly Dogs. You can see they are totally dedicated to their pets and visiting pets. Nigel was well cared for and I did not worry about him a bit. I highly recommend them and hope to use them again in the future.”
“Lyssette was extremely communicative, and my pup loved her and her dog. Her yard is huge, Valkyrie had the run of the whole downstairs and was super happy. Will definitely use her again!”
“Tara is awesome! The pups thoroughly enjoyed their stay and didn’t want to leave. They especially had a great time playing with her dogs. Thanks for taking great care of them!”
“Chris and Angela are fantastic! Riley warmed up to them quickly because they were so sweet and loving with him. They walked him and played with him daily. They sent multiple photos and videos every day. Riley was clearly happy while in their care. That made me feel much more relaxed about leaving Riley for a short trip to Seattle. They followed the instructions I left and are very reliable and were flexible when we needed to adjust our schedule. Chris and Angela are our go-to sitters for now on. I highly recommend them.”

Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Dayton home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Dayton.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Dayton sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog.

Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.

Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
