About: I have had dogs of my own since 1999. I have dog sat for family members in my home and in theirs. I completed dog behavior training while volunteering for a local pet rescue. I have a fairly open schedule at this time. While I will be doing pet care part time, most engagements should work with my schedule. When in your home, I will strive to maintain your pet’s environment and schedule. I want your pet to be comfortable while we are together.

About: I’ve always been a dog lover and give my sweet pup Attie all the love in the world. I grew up with dachshunds and currently have a 8–year-old mixed breed, who we adopted. My husband and I trained Attie with positive reinforcement to ensure her obedience without taking away from her fun-loving spirit. I love meeting and bonding with the dogs I sit, and I would love to open my home to your pets. My availability during the summer months is flexible. I am a full-time teacher, so during the school year, my availability is limited, but I am willing to work with clients to figure out the best plan that will work for you and your dog. Dogs must be crate-trained. I work full-time as a teacher, so Monday-Friday, pups need to be crated during the day for up to 8 hours while I’m at work. After work, I can provide walks and play. On the weekends, I’m open. I have a fenced yard and Attie, who loves meeting new dogs and making new friends. Dogs will need to be crated when no one is home and at night if not house trained.

“Excellent dog walker. Responsive, caring for the dogs. Very accommodating of all requests.”

About: Hi! My name is Emma. I’m 31 years old. I have had a passion for animals my entire life. Recently, my 15 year old puppy, Rufus, passed away unexpectedly. I miss being a dog mom and helping take care of your animals will help fill that void. I treat every animal as my own, big or small. I have many many years of taking care of different types of breeds. I offer a few different services including overnight stays, drop in visits or the occasional walk/let out. Whatever you may need, don’t hesitate to reach out! I currently work for myself doing instacart. I’m out and about all day. I have all the time in the world to come take care of your babies! Every animal will be taken care of to the fullest. I will follow any instructions given to me for said animals. I will always make sure to keep an eye on the animal(s) when outside.

About: I’ve loved and cared for a variety of animals throughout my life. I’ve had dogs, cats, a parakeet, hamsters, gerbils, rats, ferrets, fish, a bearded dragon, and a red tail boa. I LOVE animals. When I was a kid I would even spend my weekends at our local pet shop holding and playing with their animals. I am a mother of two teenagers, and have been a small business owner, so I am extremely responsible, reliable, caring, attentive to detail, and have the skills to do anything necessary to care for your pets. I am available most of the time, and my time is flexible. I recently sold my half of my small business and am now taking some time for myself (that I want to fill with animals!), so I am almost always available and flexible. We have a fenced in yard, but we also live in a beautiful historic neighborhood and love taking walks around the neighborhood and to the park as often as possible.

“Autumn was such a huge help while I was working. She made sure Koda went on good walks and spent the time to come meet us before we started walking! She is on time and great with animals”

Emmy L.

“Rigby loves Mandy! She is reliable and I trust her coming into our home and taking such good care of our dog. She has gone above and beyond and we highly recommend her.”

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life. I’ve spent a couple years volunteering at animal shelter, where I was required to learn how to work with many different personalities. I’m very knowledgeable when it comes to reading dogs body language and figuring out their needs. I fed, walked, and played with many pups. I have 10 years of experience, taking care dogs. Neighbor, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I’ll enjoy taking your pup on long walks and hikes, basically anywhere dogs are allowed. I am very passionate about our furry friends and treat them with love and compassion, I will love your pup like it were my own. I currently have a flexible schedule so I can work from home if I need to. I normally do potty breaks every 4 hours. I also have a schedule of feeding twice a day but if you prefer a specific schedule let me know. Teddy is a friendly pup and will keep your dog entertained. I normally don’t crate dogs unless it is necessary. If you prefer your dog being crated or is being trained let me know. Your dog will be loved and cared for.

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, from a 15lbs mini golden to a 130lbs mastiff. I love taking long walks no matter the weather (as long the dog is comfortable!) and have experience with senior dogs who require a lot of love and attention, and sometimes lots of medication. If your pet had specific needs, I can certainly make sure they’re taken care of the best way they can be! I have similar experience with cats, caring for teething kittens and senior cats who need extra attention. I love cats, but I understand sometimes they take longer to warm up. I don’t mind just hanging around until they feel comfortable enough to come up to me themselves. My number one priority is making sure your pet is comfortable and cared for. I’m a full time college student who’s lived in the Dayton area my whole life, allowing me to watch pets in the area year round (I’m a rising senior at the University of Dayton). I currently have an online internship, but it’s unpaid and I don’t get a lot of work to do. I have lots of time to devote to taking care of your critters. I’m willing to stay with pets for as long as they need, whether that means overnight or just some company during the day. I’m patient with pets that are wary of strangers; I do what I can to respect their boundaries. I will always wait until they’re comfortable enough to come up to me. I have a dog at home who is very nervous around new people. Because she’s so big we have to be very careful of how we introduce her to people. She’s a high maintenance lady, that’s for sure! But she loves just having company, and I know that many pets just want to have someone to be around.

About: I am an animal lover through and through, and started dog sitting at 15! I have been a reliable and caring pet sitter for friends and family members for many years. A few activities I love are playing fetch, going on walks and of course, snuggling! I’m experienced in giving medication to dogs and caring for senior pets. I have two cats of my own to snuggle, and two dogs at my parents house I often visit! I am currently working part time and would love to fill my schedule with dog walks or pet sitting during the summer! I enjoy living an active lifestyle as I go on hikes and bike rides during my free time. I have two cats at my own home so would not be able to take in animals. I look forward to being able to care for pets in their own home.

About: With over 11 years of experience fostering dogs and volunteering at local shelters, I’ve cared for pets of all breeds, ages, and temperaments. My background has given me a deep understanding of dog behavior, and I’m comfortable with everything from high-energy puppies to senior dogs who need a slower pace and a little extra TLC. I also have hands-on experience caring for pets with special needs, including administering medications and providing mobility support. Whether it’s a walk, drop-in visit, or overnight stay, I approach every pet with patience, compassion, and reliable care you can count on. I’m currently freelancing, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to focus on pet care. Whether it’s a walk, drop-in, or overnight stay, I can easily adjust my day to fit your pet’s needs. When caring for pets in your home or on a walk, I customize my care to each dog’s needs. I’m patient and focused on ensuring your pup feels safe, happy, and comfortable at all times.

About: I am a full-time veterinary assistant, currently in school to become a veterinary technician. I have experience in a small animal/exotic clinic, as well as a small animal ER. I have clinical experience with dogs, cats, small mammals, birds, and reptiles of all shapes and sizes. I personally own dogs, cats and a frog, so no species is too strange for me to care for! I can confidently administer medications to your pet if needed, and I am prepared to act quickly in the event of an emergency. I will gladly take care of any elderly or special needs pets. I hope that my experience in veterinary medicine can help put your mind at ease, I promise to treat your pet exactly how I would treat my patients and my own pets. If I missed anything about my experience, I am happy to answer any questions! My schedule changes every week, and I am pretty flexible! Since I work full-time, my availability is primarily mid-afternoons, evenings and weekends. I will do my absolute best to accommodate your schedule whenever I can! Unfortunately I am not able to care for pets in my own home, due to my 2 grumpy old lady cats, but I am more than happy to care for your pet at your home!
