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: Hi! My name is Jordan, and I’m a student at Wright State University who absolutely loves animals! 🐾 I have two dogs of my own and spend a lot of time walking and caring for them. I also regularly walk my neighbors’ dogs, so I’m very comfortable with dogs of different personalities, sizes, and energy levels. I’m a caring, responsible, and patient person, and I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets with someone you trust, and I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and love while they’re in my care. Whether your dog needs a long walk, some playtime, or just a little extra company, I’d be happy to help! 🐶❤️ Since I’m new to the area after moving to Wright State, I’d also love to meet some new people and their furry friends around the community! I currently go to WSU, and after I do my schoolwork I have a lot of freetime. I usually spend my time in the library or going on walks. I will always make sure your pet is fed and happy. Comfort of an animal is my top priority, especially when there owner is away.

About: Hello, I have worked for rescues I volunteered for shelters. I’m that crazy cat lady that will pick up an injured cat off of the side of the road or in the neighborhood that needs help because as human beings we are here to help the helpless and give them a voice. Hello, I foster and help out with the stray community of cats. I am very into TNR trap neuter release I think as human beings we are here to help the helpless and give these animals a voice. I care for my animals on a daily basis. Make sure my dogs are walked, played with and make sure their emotional needs are taken care of. I make sure my cats always are fed, taken care of and all their litter boxes are cleaned on a daily basis. I feel like a clean environment for your animals is the best environment and they will thrive.

About: I truly believe that pets are family members and therefore deserve the best care they can get. I've been a pet parent for over 20 years and have helped care for friends' pets for even longer. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes and breeds. I have cared for cats of all ages and temperaments (lol). I've also had the privilege of helping care for horses which brings me great joy. I love caring for animals and providing peace of mind for their parents, knowing that they are being loved and well cared for in their own home while they are away. I can provide excellent references. You can learn more about the animals I care for and read some reviews of some of my satisfied clients on Facebook at 'No Place Like Home Petsitting'. I am a professional pet-sitter; therefore my schedule is dedicated to providing pet care. My schedule is very flexible and I can typically respond to a request within the same day. I care for pets in the client's home and follow the client's instructions to the letter. I treat my client's home with care and respect.

“Emma was amazing to work with! She was flexible and very responsive. It’s evident she cares about animals, and she was able to form a bond with our puppy quickly. I would recommend her services to anyone.”

About: I’ve had dogs and cats all my life. I love walking and playing with dogs. When I’m not in school I take care of my dog Sadie. I’m currently studying aviation at wright state. I’m available for drops in and spending the nights on weekdays and available all day on weekends. If you have a un fenced yard I will watch the dog outside and I can easily put a dog into a crate if needed.

About: I love animals! I've taken care of all kinds of domestic pets for 15 years now. I've also worked for a small zoo and cared for cows, donkeys and Nigerian Dwarf Goats, as well as owls, hawks and an eagle. I have cared for exotic animals too! Ostriches, African tortoises, an African sand cat, African black-backed jackals and porcupines. I will give loving and attentive care to your pets. You can rest easy. I love animals and they love me! Pet care is all I do, so your pets will get personal immediate attention. I have been doing pet/house/farm sitting part-time for over 10 years. I'm now going into this full-time. Your pets will get my undivided attention! I have a reliable car and am easy to get ahold of anytime day or night. I do a meet and greet with you and your pets so we can get to know each other and I can make sure we are compatible and learn about your animals routine and any special needs so I can care for them safely and well. This first meeting is where we develop that initial trust and bond.

About: I have always grown up with at least one doggie at home and I have recently adopted an orange rescue cat who is now one year old! If any of my family is out of town, I am trusted to take care of their pets. This includes taking them on walks, accommodating to specialized diets, and spending quality time with them! I currently am enrolled in classes for the evening and will work part time. My schedule is very flexible as I am not scheduled daily! I insure each pet will receive care tailored to their unique needs. I am careful to double check all doors are closed and gates are locked. If any special rules are required to keep your pets comfortable, I will be sure to see them through.

“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 :)”

About: I am an animal lover with a bias towards dogs! I have had dogs of all different breeds and sizes throughout my life (including Rottweilers, Basset Hounds, Pitt Bulls, Doberman Pinschers and St. Bernards), and I can truly say that pups make the world a better place! I would love to walk or care for your fur-baby. I understand the sacred bond that an owner has with their animals, so you can trust and believe that your dog will be treated with the utmost love, respect and professionalism. Rain or shine, I can be available to get your dog exercised and back to your home safe and sound. I would love to meet your pet and to make your life a little easier. See you soon!

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: I’ve had my first dog( Bandit) for 10 years. Since I was 9, I would take care of him on the daily. I would be the one to bathe, feed, play with him, and walk him. My extended family even trusted me to care for their pets while they’ve been away. I also own many different kinds of pets other than dogs and cats, so animal care is something I have adapted to. For the past two years, I have had experience in intensive dog training and I am educated in dog behavior. I attend The Ohio State University studying Biology in order to become a Veterinarian. Not only do i need to earn a bachelor’s degree to get into vet school, but i also need hours of experience. To achieve that, I have volunteered at ASPCA (animal rescue organization) to care for the many animals in need. While there, I learned how to care for animals that have been in rough situations. I am able to manage dogs that are twice my size. As a crazy animal lover, I'd love to meet your pets! As of right now , I am available all day everyday to care for my own pets and yours too! I work from home, so pet care is something I’m able to do on the side. At home, I just got a fenced yard installed, but I take my pets out on walks. They are under my super vision 24/7. If my client has a fenced yard, I will happily take them outside as needed and provide playtime.

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.
