Dog Sitting Dayton

About: I have great experience taking care of both dogs and cats! From taking care of my own high energy Australian Shepherd and very social cat, to being a reliable source of pet care for friends family, I am well versed in pet care! Currently, I am a graduate student at JMU. I have breaks between some classes and am up early! I am able to stop by to care for your pets between 2-3 times a day. I can assure your pet will be safe with me! I have experience working with flight-risk dogs and cats and am always careful to make sure everyone is accounted for. Additionally, I always make sure to send daily updates so you know your pet is safe and sound.

“Thank you for your excellent care of our pets.”

About: Hi! I’m available for pet sitting and dog walking. I have 3 cats and 1 dog of my own and plenty of experience dog-sitting for other families. I’m reliable, caring, and flexible with scheduling—happy to help with walks, feeding, or drop-in visits!” I work during the day on weekdays, but I’m available for pet care in the mornings, evenings, and throughout the weekends. This schedule allows me to reliably handle feedings, walks, check-ins, and playtime outside of typical work hours, making pet care a consistent part of my daily and weekly routine.” I will provide care in my clients’ homes to help pets stay comfortable in their familiar environment. During each visit, I ensure they have fresh food and water, take the dogs out for walks or potty breaks, clean the litter boxes if needed, and spend quality time playing and giving them attention. I follow each family’s routine closely so their pets feel safe and well cared for while you’re away.

“Eva did a great job taking care of my dog. I rarely leave my dog at home, but I felt very comfortable knowing Eva was checking in on her several times a day. I really appreciated the notes and photos and her flexibility with check in times.”

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life. I have been taking care of dogs of my own since I was able to walk and talk. I work hard and play harder with our furry friends! I am a fast learner, and can assist with training pups or taking care of senior dogs. My father is a veterinarian, so I was able to learn from him how to care for your pets. I attend James Madison University, so I will have classes with a varying schedule each weekday. I can stay full time at your home with your pets. I go to the gym, so I may be out for a short time to work out, but once I’m finished I’m right back at home with your pets! I have two dogs of my own. I feed/provide medication to them regularly (might go without saying) and I love to cuddle up with them on the floor and play with their toys with them. I’m very affectionate and will give your pets lots of attention and love.

About: I’ve been caring for cats my entire life, and I have great experience with dogs as well! I have been sitting for over 10 households in the Harrisonburg area, and i’ve had nothing but great reviews! My work in a research lab at JMU is flexible, so I can usually stop by wherever you need me! I don’t have a strict schedule! I have 2 amazing cats at home and I make sure to keep them as safe as possible. I do the same when caring for other peoples pets, and treat them as my own!

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments since I was around 10 years old. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and play with their pets. I’m patient, attentive, and comfortable following specific routines, administering basic care, and making sure pets feel safe, loved, and relaxed while their owners are away. I currently have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of attention and care. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and sitting during weekdays (especially afternoons and evenings) and weekends. I love spending quality time playing, exercising, and keeping pets company so they never feel lonely. I prioritize safety and comfort at all times. I carefully follow feeding, medication, and walking instructions, and I always keep pets supervised. I communicate regularly with updates and photos so owners feel confident and at ease while they’re away.

About: I grew up surrounded by cats and dogs and have a lot of experience loving on both. I am experienced with many breeds, sizes, ages, temperament levels, etc of both cats and dogs. Willing to watch other pets as well!! Not limited to dogs & cats :) My boyfriend and I work in restaurants and our shifts are usually no longer than 5-6 hours and between the two of us, someone is usually home. Our dog, Stanley, needs to be let out every 4-5 hours, so between the two of us, we make sure that happens. We also take a trip to an on-site dog park every morning and night! I only go when there are no other dogs for safety purposes. I’d love to host your dog if he/she gets along with other dogs- I have a 9 lb chihuahua/yorkie mix who has got some quirks. He is very intimidated by bigger dogs and uses his voice to make up for his size, which usually provokes dogs (even the un-provokable), so I can only accept smaller dogs and in order to keep everyone safe, I like to do meet and greets prior to booking. If your dog is not great with other dogs and/or is larger than 30 lbs, I’d be happy to do frequent drop in visits throughout the day.

About: I have years of experience with dogs across all sizes, energy needs and care needs! I’m very fond of all critters and can’t wait to help you out! I’m working part-time over the summer and a fellowship (32 hrs/week) into the 26-27 year, but I’m very available to provide care— just send me a message! I respect the understanding that you’ve developed of your pet’s specific needs— give me a list, and it will be accomplished to a tee with care and enthusiasm!

About: I’ve had six amazing dogs in my life, and before leaving for college, I cared for four all on my own—they were truly my pride and joy. Dogs have always been a huge part of my world, and even the shy or scared ones seem to find comfort with me. I once wanted to be a vet because of how much I love animals, but I realized I couldn’t handle seeing dogs in pain. That love now drives my passion for pet care. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or just some quality snuggles, I give every dog the same love and attention I’d give my own. I’m currently in college which only takes up some of my days, so I have plenty of free time during the day to care for your pups. My flexible schedule allows me to give them the attention, walks, and playtime they need to stay happy and loved while you’re away. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I create a calm, loving environment where dogs feel secure and cared for, whether they’re full of energy or a little shy. I always follow any instructions you provide closely and keep a close eye on your pup to ensure they’re happy, healthy, and stress-free. I treat every dog like my own, with lots of love, patience, and respect for their unique personality and needs. You can trust that your pup is in safe, caring hands with me.

“Natalie took great care of my kitties while I was gone, including giving medication to one. I got pictures after each of her visits, which was nice. Everything, and everyone, was in good shape when I got home. It's nice to know there's someone I can trust to take care of them when I'm gone.”

Jorinda G.

“Lisa thank you so much for taking such good care of my fur babies. I don't trust just anyone to take care of them. They seemed very comfortable with you and that means so much to me. I will definitely recommend and use your services again in the future.”

Judith H.

“Zander took very good care of my animals while we were away! Would definitely use him again!”

“Abigail was super great with our two dogs! They are both high energy and can be a lot at times. She was very patient and took excellent care of them, going above and beyond to make sure they had what they needed while we were away.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for a couple of years and love to spend time with them. Making sure they have plenty of exercise, love and attention. I have a pretty flexible schedule that we can work out in order to accommodate you and your dogs needs. I’m willing to work with your schedule Making sure the dogs have the attention they need and keeping up with their diet is very important to me along with quality time outdoors.

About: I have owned varying pets throughout my whole life; rabbits, hamsters, dogs, and cats. I'm responsible, attentive, and genuinely love animals, which makes me a great choice for pet sitting. I understand how important it is to follow routines, provide companionship, and keep pets safe and comfortable while their owners are away. Whether it's walking, feeding, playing, or just keeping them company, I make sure pets feel happy and cared for. I also have a green thumb, so if you need me to water any plants while you're out, just ask! I currently have a full time job, so a majority of my openings will be on the weekends. However during the summer I am available between the hours of 4pm and 7am to take care of your pets. I will always keep them on a leash, if out for a walk. And if you need something specific done, just send me a message!

About: I don't have any training or any experience but I would love to start my journey with being with the pets. Being around dogs makes me happy. I like being around dogs they are very supportive and loving animals. I have time to help anytime and any day of the week.I would really appreciate this opportunity. One of the reasons I want to care for the dogs is because I don't have a dog because my living situation won't allow pets. I used to have dogs growing up in my moms house and I never felt alone with them.

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, but right now i have 2 well trained pure bred german shepherds and my girls are my entire world. I love all dogs, they’re just little babies to me <3 I currently work part time, but can drop in or walk your dog any time!! I’m available quite often and can make things work quick! I will follow whatever rules you have for your house, and will take care of everything with love, including your baby 🩷 I don’t mind cameras either!

About: I spent a lot of time with pets( mostly dogs) from taking care of close friends pets. With dogs I found better ways to behave them when they were with me, and considering I would take care of them a lot I managed to teach them tricks. I love spending time with animals of any kind. I had a cat when I was 13 and it was tricky because I got Lenny as an adult I would say. I learned how to manage litter boxes and the right food for both cat and dog. I do a lot of research when it comes to food so I know they have the right nutritions and I’m also skeptical when if comes or bagged food, so I do make my Own at times. I own 2 dogs now, one is a puppy and the other about a year and a half old. I’m also trying to save to go into MTC to study as a veterinarian to spend more time with animals. Taking care of pets fits in just perfectly. I currently have a part time job, but doing pet care on the side definitely helps balance my routine out and get some fresh air from working. In both client/my home, since I’m an early bird, I take them on walks to get them moving and give them time to potty, as I do with my dogs as well. I give them water and food, of course this varies on any directions given by the owner. They do get a lot of playtime and treats for good behavior. I make sure to let them potty at least every 2-3 hours out of habit from my pets.
