Dog Walking Five Oaks

“She was excellent. Showed up on time, gave our dogs extra special treatment and gave them four days of great interaction while we were traveling from out of town. Can not recommend her enough.”

“Britany is well liked, with my dog Kobe. He really looks forward to his walks. I really appreciate Britany's commitment to showing up on time, and making walks fun.”

About: With over 5 years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages, nothing brings me more joy than bonding with animals of every shape, size, and personality! I effortlessly adapt to your pet's unique personality, whether that means endless games of fetch or quiet, cozy companionship for a sweet senior. I am incredibly diligent with feeding schedules, safety, and household rules. Expect regular photo updates, boundless affection, and total peace of mind knowing your pet is in the absolute best hands! I work a hybrid schedule with 2-3 WFH days a week. This means that I can be very flexible with weekday schedules and especially open on weekends. Whether you want a weekend getaway or a weekday check-in, I am more than happy to accommodate in the Dayton area! When caring for pets in your home, my top priorities are keeping your companions safe, comfortable, and strictly adhering to their usual routines. I treat your home with the utmost care and respect—ensuring entryways are always locked, gates are secure, and living spaces stay spotless. For cat households, I'm extra vigilant about double-checking doors, windows, and litter areas, while keeping life completely stress-free for your feline friends. You can count on clear daily updates, frequent photos, and complete peace of mind knowing your home and pets are in conscientious hands.

About: I've taken care of puppies and senior dogs for 6 years. Mainly for my relatives, friends and coworkers. Now I'm ready to branch out. I have more experience with senior dog care but I do have some knowledge in puppy training and care. I've only taken care of two cats. I'm a stay at home mom and could easily take care of 1-2 dogs at a time. My schedule is flexible. I wake up early and go to bed early for my baby. My husband and I own a duplex with an unfenced yard. Your fur baby will have there own apartment while boarding with us. I'm basically using our upstairs unit as a dog bed and breakfast. I can regularly check on them, take them out for potty breaks and walks in my neighborhood.

About: I truly love animals, and have some training background. I always had my own personal dogs, until recently, so I am open to caring for yours. Your animals will be well taken care of, and I will provide consistencies they are use to at home upon request. I work from home 4 days a week, but my mom who works from home is home daily. Animals are never unsupervised! I get home around 5pm when I go into work. I walk dogs as much needed and have necessary needs provided in house (leash, bowls, mid size cage, brush, yard, etc). No worries if certain materials run out or are not provided.

About: Starting in 2015, while working as a housekeeper, I became the go-to pet sitter for many of the families I cleaned for. Even after starting my career as an esthetics instructor, I stayed on as their trusted sitter, continuing to care for their senior cats and dogs alike, foster dogs, special needs dogs, dogs with behavioral issues. With both a cat and dog myself and having raised two litters of pups, I offer a wide variety of knowledge and expertise. I take pride in giving an insane amount of scratches, massages, baby talk and car rides for doggy ice cream from Ritters, all while singing “you are my sunshine.” I am a firm and proud believer that I ought to treat your pets as I would my very own! Having a huge heart for animals, I trust their instincts and strive to be as in tune with them as possible. They truly are so sensitive to what’s going on around them and I humbly love learning from each animal, their outlook on life and their own experiences. I have a lot of flexibility within my schedule as I only work 3 days each week as an esthetician and esthetics instructor, and have my husband to help me take care of our fur own fur babies. I don’t mind early mornings, and strive to keep a consistent routine for your pet. I will ALWAYS send check in photos each day I come, keep things clean and organized, observe their behavior, and stay as close to their normal routine as possible.

“Aubrey was very quick to respond and flexible to our needs. She took wonderful care of our dog. We highly recommend her!”

About: I love dogs! I take them on walks, day trips, and I do week-long stays. I’ve cared for multiple dogs at once, including a variety of breeds and ages. I have a little special talent of teaching dogs new tricks! Growing up I have always been told I have a genuine bond for all dogs. Whether it’s a fun walk or a relaxing day, I ensure they’re happy and well cared for. As a college student at the University of Dayton, I have a flexible schedule that gives me plenty of time to care for your pets! I love spending time with animals and can easily fit pet care into my routine. I’m available throughout the week, with Tuesdays and Thursdays typically being my busiest days, but I’m still very flexible with my availability. Even if you’re working all day, I’m happy to stop by in the afternoon to take your pets on a walk or give them some extra attention! I’m also available for drop-in visits and house stays. I live right on the edge of campus in Oakwood, so I’m conveniently located and can easily work around your pet’s needs. Please feel free to reach out even if you’re unsure about your schedule! I’m typically really flexible and am happy to work with you to find something that works! When I care for a client’s pets in their home, I treat them with the same love and attention I would as if they were mine. I follow their daily routine closely, including their feeding, walks, play time, or just sitting with them so they feel safe and comforted. I understand that being away from their family can be stressful, so I do my best to make them feel calm, happy, and loved. I also take care of the home with respect and keep everything clean and in order. I truly enjoy bonding with each pet and always keep the owners updated with cute photos and videos, so they know their pets are in good hands.

About: I have a huge heart for animals and love to tend to their needs. I have experience with cats and dogs as well as exotics. I make my own schedule so it would be very easy to fit pet sitting into my weekly routine. I can be available most often. My personal animals are spoiled rotten. I believe in treating another person’s fur baby the same as my own, with attentive love and care and pets. Lots of walks and treats.

About: I've been a devoted dog parent to my own pup for 3 years, who truly means the world to me. Caring for her has taught me how important patience, gentleness, consistency, exercise, and affection are for a happy dog. I’ve also volunteered with rescue shelters and animal sanctuaries, helping care for dogs and supporting animals in need. Through those experiences, I’ve become comfortable with a wide range of personalities and energy levels. Dogs have always had a special place in my life, and I treat every dog like family. Whether we’re out on an adventure or relaxing on the couch, my goal is always to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. Flexible for your pup's needs. Hours of outside play time - including a morning walk, an afternoon trip to the park for running and playing, and an evening walk. Easily adjustable to your pup's energy level. My home is a calm and dog-friendly environment with plenty of supervision and playtime. I have a friendly and playful dog to keep your pup company. Dogs always have access to fresh water, comfortable resting spots, and lots of affection. I pay close attention to their behavior and energy levels to make sure they're happy and comfortable.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since I was 10 years old, and I’ve grown up around animals my entire life. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to care for their pets while they’re away. I love spending time with animals and treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Your pet’s happiness, safety, and well-being are always my top priorities. As a full-time college student, I have classes Monday through Friday, but my schedule includes breaks throughout the day. I carefully plan my time so pets receive regular potty breaks, walks, meals, playtime, and plenty of attention. Evenings, nights, and weekends are dedicated to caring for your pet, and I’ll always communicate if I have questions or updates. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow your instructions, maintain your pet’s normal routine, and treat your home with the utmost respect. I’ll provide regular updates and photos, keep doors and gates secure, and make sure your pet receives the love, attention, and care they deserve while you’re away.

About: I have had animals my entire life, however I am only counting my adult years of caring for animals on my profile. I have a certificate from training our independent husky/shepherd mix both with an E-collar and without. This same dog is also now a senior with greater care needs so my attention to small details and his body language contribute to his quality of care. I bring that same level of care and attention to all animals that spend any time under my care. I am comfortable with all breeds of dogs and working to gain their trust and mutual respect. It is my goal to provide peace of mind to owners when they are away from their animals. I am available during most of the morning from Monday through Thursday. I am interested in being a regular drop-in caretaker or dog walker to build rapport with the animals and make them feel less stressed about transitions. Depending on the schedule, I am open to doing some weekend drop in visits or dog walks. I am happy to work with your animals' regular routine whether that means they are crate trained, have a special routine, need specific commands to understand, or if they have specific requirements for care, such as the need to be fed separately from other animals or the need for topical/pill medications. I am happy to work with your animals if they need basic training or training-reinforcements during visits.

“Emma was great with our dogs, however. We met with her prior to booking so we could get to know her and our dogs could meet her as well. We spoke about the time being 12noon and that was not a problem. The first day (Monday) she was here on time, the next 3 days she arrived at 1pm. 1 hr later then discussed. Then Friday morning she texted us stating she was stuck at a house she was cleaning and was not gonna be able to make it. My wife had to rush from work in Sidney to take them out, then rush back. Keep in mind we had already paid for the entire week.”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs. I’ve had at least three to 7 dogs at a time in my home. As well as cats, ducks and bunnies! I have a unique ability to bond quickly with dogs, and animals. I love them. I believe God put them on earth to help to help us make it through the trials and triumphs of life. I believe all dogs are unique and have the own personality, and should be treated as such. And I will treat your dog as though they are my new friend, and hopefully will become my longtime friend. I have had senior dogs, so I am well aware of the extra care that needs to be given to these special dogs. They deserve to be treated with care and respect. I have also trained my dogs in basic commands. I will always abide by your wishes while caring for your baby. And will willing to listen to any concerns that may arise. I am currently a stay-at-home dog mom. So I have mostly open availability at this time. I’m sure this would be a excellent fit for my life!! While caring for other people’s pets, made sure to go to check on the pets many times a day. During that time, I stay and play, love on them, give treats or feed (if it’s time), play some more, and make sure they are properly tired until the next time I come back. I worry about them, honestly, as though they are my own. So I want to make sure they are happy and safe.

“Monroe is fabulous. Helped with my scared pup while I was in the hospital on a very last minute request. Made sure she was comfortable and well taken care of”

About: Things to know about me: 1. I’ve been dog-obsessed since before the age of 5. I’m now 40(ish), and still have to control my natural and immediate impulse to pet every dog I see. And cats…and goats. Mostly dogs. 2. I have extensive experience with dogs of all kinds. I spent years volunteering at the SPCA. I’ve fostered, dog-sat, socialized and walked all kinds of dogs - large to small, long to short, elderly to puppies. I’ve been bitten more times than I care to admit, and I’ve still NEVER met a dog I don’t like. 3. They belong indoors, in the bed, and on the furniture. They deserve the cheese tax and also the chicken tax. There’s no such thing as a bad dog. I said what I said. In short, if you’re in or around the Dayton area and you need a walker or a day-sitter, I’ll be happy to. And I’ll love your dog like they’re my own while I’m with them. I’m currently available Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. throughout the day. I’m occasionally available on weekends during the day, although that availability is a little more infrequent. I’m available to walk and play with your dog, let them out, give treatos or feed as needed, and work on leash training and basic commands if needed.

About: All my life I've been interested in animals. I grew up with a dog, a cat, and a snake, and my work in the field has involved all sorts of animal husbandry, from shearing sheep to catching alligators or banding songbirds. Sometimes I feel I understand animals better than people which helps me provide specialized one-on-one care to meets your beloved pet's needs. I want to ensure that they feel as safe, comfortable, and well-loved with me as they do with you! I'm currently taking some online classes, so my schedule is pretty flexible! Right now I have a lot of time Fridays-Mondays which I would love to spend taking care of some special pets. I don't have access to a fenced-in yard currently and would not be able to host a dog to the best of my ability. I've taken care of cats at my house, however, and have found that they quickly feel at ease in my home environment. My kitty passed away last year, unfortunately, but I am home often and will provide as much company and attention as your pet desires. I want them to know they have a friend in me.

About: Your pets deserve the same love, attention, and care they get at home. ❤️ I have 12 years of experience caring for animals and am also the owner of a mobile pet grooming business. I work with pets every day and understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs. I’m dependable, trustworthy, and attentive, and I’ll treat your pets like they’re part of my own family. I have a flexible schedule and am available throughout the week for drop-in visits, walks, and pet care, while making sure each pet receives plenty of attention. I have extensive experience caring for dogs and understand that every pet is different. I prioritize safety, comfort, cleanliness, and following each owner’s instructions carefully.

About: I have a special dog who has experienced intense anxiety. It has taught me patience and sympathy and has changed my life in very unique ways. I have grown to understand animals in a much more compassionate way. I work full time but I am in a less demanding season of the year and would love to help. I would love to use that time to assist others the same way Rover has assisted me. I am considerate of their personal boundaries and show as much love as I can to keep them comfortable in every way. The goal is to build trust

“Emily did an awesome job! She made sure my pup had plenty of food and water and took him on extra long walks. I would highly recommend her services!! Thanks again :)”
