“After a last-minute work schedule change, I desperately needed someone to watch our puppy for the day. Thankfully, Arlissa was super fast in her response (even though it was 7 AM) and was able to watch Lyra. Clearly Lyra enjoyed it because she slept the entire ride home! Arlissa also took some beautiful pics which is a miracle considering how Lyra rarely stays still!”


“Sierra worked with us to adjust to fit our schedule. She sent us pictures and updates and took great care of our boy. He came home happy and tuckered out! We would absolutely book with her again! Definitely recommend!”


“Last minute booking and Jen made it very smooth and easy (especially for this novice). She took good care of my baby and I will definitely use her again next time we are in the area.”


“My shy pup had such an amazing time at Abigail's! He's always so eager to come home and see me arrive, but when I came to pick him up from Abgails, he wasn't ready to leave! He even made 2 dog friends; which is very impressive for him on day one of meeting everyone. I can't recommend Abigail enough! We will be returning :)”


“My little baby has a wonderful time. She gets lots of play time and always excited to see her. Cassie is great!”


“Casey and her brother were fantastic with Wren! She came back tired from playing all day, and ready to cuddle up and sleep! Casey sent me updates with pictures and videos throughout the 9 hours she had her, which made me feel good about leaving my girl with her!”


“Paislee is awesome and so friendly to my dog Reece! Her dogs are also very welcoming and took Reece in like one of their own. Paislee has a nice big fenced in backyard for Reece to run around and get all his energy out and Paislee communicates very well and quickly. Highly recommend!”


“Excellent job! Stayed in touch and we knew our pup was in good hands. Can't wait to have her over again!”


“Kathy and her husband were absolutely amazing - they took my pup for daycare last minute and she had the BEST time with them, their adorable dogs, and daughters! I 100% recommend booking with them!!”


“Andre is very convenient and accommodating. He was able to take our dog at what was practically last minute and did a fantastic job. He sent updates to us almost on the hour every hour via photos and videos. He was a very pleasant personality and I will definitely be using his services again. He’s also one of a kind in the Beavercreek area.”


“Loree and Jeff were great with my German Shepard! I cannot say enough good things about this couple. My boy received plenty of exercise (playing ball and walking) which he needs every day. He came home tired every day which to me is a sign of an awesome day for my boy. He also received snuggles and love as well. Communication was excellent via text and several photos were provided every day. Five star rating--that's for sure.”


“I was coming to a Dayton Ohio for work and I was bringing my mini golden doodle pup along. I needed someone trustworthy to watch my baby boy, Arlo. I came across Katherine’s profile and immediately had that instinct that she was the one 😊 she was accommodating to my over protective mommy needs and agreed to hop on a zoom call with me beforehand. She was warm, nice and kind. It also helped she has 3 adorable little fur baby girls too. For the 4 days I was here for work she would take care of Arlo for me all day. She was extremely responsive and would send me pictures and videos all day without me even having to ask. She has a nice big fenced in backyard that Arlo loved running around freely in all day. Each evening I would pick him up he was exhausted from having fun playing all day. (His besty was her dog, Vanilla) 😊 I cannot recommend Katherine enough. She made my experience great and worry free. Thank you so much for taking great care of Arlo.”


About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life and they are treated as part of my family. I spoil them with love, snuggles, and so much running outside. I work a job that is Monday-Friday set hours so I always have weekends off. I understand how nerve wracking it can be to leave such an important part of your life as you travel. I want to take the edge off by providing a safe, happy, loving environment for your fur baby to be in while you are away. I will keep you updated with pictures and videos of activities we are doing while you are away to keep you constantly updated on everything we are doing together. I would love nothing more than to keep a careful watch over your bundle of joy! I am a teacher so during the school year I have a set 8 to 3 job, but we still take a walk before school and after school and play in the backyard in the evenings! During the summers, am home all day to play and care for your pup! I have a fenced in yard to play frisbee or ball in and we take multiple walks a day! Followed by a good snuggle and nap!


“I was very happy with how things went; was in the Dayton area to check out a business possibility and wasn't sure how long I might need daycare for. Carol & Jessica were very flexible, and I was comfortable leaving my pup Maggie with them on a Saturday morning. Highly recommend!”


“Highly recommend Daphne. It was the first time leaving our puppy and Daphne and her family were great and so welcoming from the meet and greet to final pick up. Daphne sent pics and videos throughout the day and our puppy was clearly happy and being well cared for. All aspects of our experience 5 stars!!”


“Jillian was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond to take care of our puppy and gave her so much love and attention. She sent us pics and videos throughout the day and even got her to go potty outside for the first time!”


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.

About: I’ve loved animals since I was child. Not only am I a cat-mom to the most adorable senior cat. Over the years I have cared for friend/family’s fur babies. I also have volunteered with the Humane Society and have worked as a Pet Care Coordinator for a major pet care service. Skills: - Senior Cat Experience -Senior Dog Experience I’m currently working remotely full-time. That allows for me to be flexible for early morning and evening visits/walks. I’m also pretty open with availability on the weekends. Currently, my cat is not comfortable with other cats or large dogs, so I am only able to care for small dogs in my home. However, I will give your fur child the love and care that they would expect from their family members in the comfort of their own home. (Nobody can replace mom or dad’s love)

About: Hello there! My name is Abby and I am a 27 year old exotic animal keeper. I have several different species ranging from large snakes to chameleons. I have been caring for exotic species for the last four years. I also care for dogs and cats. I’ve had 20 years of dog and cat care experience. I got my first dog, Sophie, when I was just five years old. Throughout the years, I cared for her and many other dogs and cats growing up. Right now, I have three of my own dogs and fourteen cats who are extremely spoiled! When watching your pet, expect them to be spoiled and loved just like they’re my own. I have experience with giving medication to both cats and dogs. I also have a senior cat and know how to provide care for any senior animal. I can care for your exotic animals in my house, as I have a separate room for my own exotics. I also can provide drop in visits for your furry friends. I have worked as a foster for shelters in Columbus for two years as well, so I am used to providing 24/7 care for other animals. I work from home full time, so I am able to have a very flexible schedule. If you need your animal cared for in my home, I am able to provide that service. I get off of work in the early evening, which gives me plenty of time to do drop in visits after work. My yard is fenced in, which is great for your doggie kiddos. I also do not let my cats outdoors, so any cat staying with me will be safe in the home. I have an upstairs area where I could house your pet away from my personal animals if that is wanted. I do ask that your pets be friendly with cats and dogs regardless. Small dogs are okay to be boarded in my home, as well as any cats as long as they are litter box trained.

About: I am an experienced pet owner of many years with many different species. As a child, I had gerbils and snails and as an adult, I currently have 3 cats, 2 dogs and 2 rabbits. Throughout the years, I have also been involved in rescuing and rehoming friendly strays that I have found along this journey called life and fostering and boarding pets for friends and family. I have also assisted in reuniting pets (2 cats) with their owners, and that was extremely rewarding. I am currently a stay at home person due to complications of the pandemic and this will probably be my situation for a while so I will be available at all hours of the day. I can take in pets as early as 5:30am for pet sitting, if you need to be at work early. I can board on any day as well. Your pet just needs to be good with cats, who are free roaming around the house and not have a strong prey drive because my bunnies reside in the front part of my living room. I have a nontraditional fenced in yard, in that I do not have a gate in the entrance of the yard but a fence that blocks entry and exit. It is a 4' high fence that I put together until I can get a gate to replace it. My own dogs, one of whom likes to wander, are not able to get out of the yard unless I open the fencing for them.
