Top rated Dayton house sitters

“JaNiya is a phenomenal housesitter, especially if you have shy animals (but *any* animal would love her!). We have two skittish greyhounds and a very shy adopted cat. Within one day, our cat was sitting in JaNiya’s lap, and our dogs were relaxed and happy. I couldn’t believe it! She has such a calm, tender presence, and you can tell she adores animals. She’s even studying to be a veterinarian! Do not pass her up! She’s the only housesitter we’ll use from now on!”


“LaDonna was great and our pets seemed to enjoy having her here. We had some communication issues on the first day, but everything else was incredibly smooth. She even gave Benji a new toy! Thanks!”


“Ben’s service to our dog and our family was top-notch. He was prompt for the meet and greet meeting, he messaged ahead on the day of the booking to see if there was anything that needed changed. He went above and beyond with watching our dog: taking her for a walk and playtime in the backyard. He texted us photos and even a concern about a skin blemish with our dog. He cleaned up very well after himself, even laundering our guest bedroom bedding. We recommend his services to anyone who has need. And we will definitely be booking him again.”


“Oh my gosh being new to the area - I was so nervous about finding someone to trust with my fur babies who are seniors with different medicines and Trey was amazing. He diligently took care of all their needs, played with them, sent photos and videos , asked all the right questions...we are so thrilled to have him!!!”


“Megan was wonderful. Such a blessing to have someone so sweet to take care of your fur baby. Megan sent pictures through out the day of our pup. It was so nice to see him happy. Would recommend her to anyone. Definitely going to use her again.”


“Tony was great with my 3 large dogs. Came over the night before to meet them and go over my care instructions for them. He sent me pictures and updates throughout his stay at the house. My dogs seemed to love him. Highly recommend and would definitely use again!”



“Austin was incredible! We have a verifiable menagerie including two dogs and three cats. Everyone has some special need or consideration and the list of instructions to take care of them all is exhausting. We booked Austin for in-home pet sitting and it was the BEST. He sent loads of pictures during our three day getaway, he took awesome care of our fur family, and the house was spotless when we arrived back home. We will absolutely book with Austin again!”


“Katelyn is so sweet! Our senior dog loved spending time with her over the holiday weekend while we were gone. It is such a load off knowing that someone is taking care of our beloved pets.”



“Caitlin was amazing, responsive, and always sent pictures of my girls right when I needed them. She went above and beyond by taking both dogs to daycare (gotta keep up that socialization). Liam, her companion dog, was the perfect addition to my little pack. I never worried about a thing.”


“Emily did a great job taking care of kimmy. She was able to come sit my dog kimmy in my house on short notice and really saved my situation. She gave me updates when she came over and everything worked out. I will definitely try to book her next time. Thanks Emily”


“Analie was absolutely incredible. I had a different Rover sitter cancel on me a few hours before they were supposed to get here and was frantically looking for someone to cover. Luckily Analie was available and willing to watch my girl at the last minute. She was very flexible, followed instructions, my dog seemed happy when I got back and she made sure to leave my house in a neat state. I absolutely cannot say enough good things about my experience with Analie, and it would be an absolute pleasure to have her take care of my baby girl again. I absolutely recommend Analie!!”

About: 🐾Stay with us perks: I only take 1-2 clients at a time, I work from home and pups have access to a 1 acre fenced yard!🐾 Hi there! Before relocating to Harrison, TN from Seattle, WA, I ran a successful doggy daycare for over 2.5 years. Even before that, I was the go-to pet sitter for friends and family, and I’ve spent my life surrounded by animals, especially dogs. 🐶❤️. Over the years, I’ve cared for a wide variety of breeds, from tiny Chihuahuas to loyal Pit Bulls, quirky Pugs to energetic Dachshunds. I’m experienced with puppies, seniors, and everything in between. Whether your pup needs playtime, gentle care, or just a cozy place to nap, I’ve got them covered. Our home is 5 minutes past Harrison Bay State Park and has been set up with doggies in mind: • 🧸 A ridiculous amount of toys • 💧 Fresh filtered water fountains • 🍖 Tasty (owner-approved) treats • 🛏 Plush beds in nearly every corner • 🐕 A full acre of fenced backyard to run and play • 🐾 Doggy pool, bubble blowers, fetch zones, and sun spots galore! I offer daycare from 7 AM to 6 PM with extended hours available by request. I only care for one household’s dogs at a time to ensure your pup gets all the one-on-one attention they deserve. I know firsthand how tough it can be to find someone you trust with your beloved pets. That’s why I approach my work with professionalism, reliability, and lots of heart. I value clear communication and punctuality, and I ask the same from the amazing pet parents I work with Whether your pup is here for daycare or an overnight stay, they’ll be loved, pampered and snuggled. 💕🐾 Pet care is built into my daily life, I’m home full-time, aside from the occasional appointment or errand. My spouse also works from home, so there’s almost always someone here to provide love, supervision, and attention. Your dog will be part of our daily routine, not just an add-on. ❤️🐾 Whether your pup is staying in my home or I’m coming to yours, their safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I’m familiar with crate training and can keep your pup on their established routine. I also take safety seriously. I’m prepared for emergencies with first-aid supplies, emergency vet info on hand, and clear protocols in place. When I’m staying in your home, I treat it with the utmost respect. Keeping things tidy, sticking to your pet’s usual schedule, and making sure they feel secure and loved in their familiar surroundings.

Charish M.
“Let me start by prefacing this with the statement that, I am so enamored by my three dogs, that I was prepared to go the duration of their 16 year life expectancy with no free alone time, never mind the recent trip to Kauai, during which I had Charish babysit this motley crew. My girls were already familiar with Charish, but because I had taken my two mini daschunds and their Aussie Kelpie sister everywhere with me since adopting them all, taking extended time away had to be thoughtfully considered. Charish not only agreed to travel to my home 3.5 hours north of her home, she brought her husband Steve along for extra support. They stayed in my home so that my crew’s routine was undisturbed, and so that my girls did not have to adjust to the additional stress of uprooting their surroundings. While I was away I received daily affirmations through texting, and photos of their activities. I typically run three miles each morning with the girls, which wasn’t expected while I was away, yet Charish took on the challenge of a daily triple leash journey around the neighborhood to keep up with the demands of the tri energy effect. Photos revealed not only that the girls were completely safe and happy while I was away, Charish managed to capture in the many photos of dogs in laps, dogs snoozing, dogs socializing……the assurance I needed in knowing they were open to receiving plenty of cuddle time. I would recommend Charish for the most trusted care of your pets. We assume they are being fed and kept safe while away, but its fantastic to know that she really bonds with your critters so that they are enjoying your time away as much as you are. What else can I say? My house was immaculate when I came back, which is no easy accomplishment, and along with the many tails wagging, a very pleasant welcome back. ”

Delaney S.
“Delaney was a wonderful sitter for our boys! We have two of the craziest Frenchies I've ever seen and she handled them just fine! We've had problems getting a sitter for them since they are such high energy but she has never had a problem! Delaney made sure to update us throughout their stay at her house and they seemed to have a great time with her dog! I would recommend her to everyone.”

Kaley H.
“If you are looking for a trustworthy and reliable caregiver for your pet, I highly recommend Kaley to take care of your pet! Kaley is a wonderful person with a positive attitude, and has a genuine love for all animals. She has a calm and loving energy that makes animals feel comfortable around her. I am an owner of three doodles that tend to be nervous around non-family members, and they absolutely adore Kaley. I understand how hard it can be to trust someone with your pet, but I can assure you that Kaley will be the best person to love and take care of you pet!”


Emma J.
