“Britany was an amazing pet sitter. She came to our home twice a day for over a week. We have three kittens all under 1 year so there were some special instructions about feeding and keeping them apart at times. Britany went above and beyond to make sure all our cats had the care and attention they needed while we were gone. She gave detailed updates as well as included numerous photos after each scheduled visit. Once you meet her you know she has the biggest heart! We need to go out of town soon and plan to book Britany again!”

“We booked Leesa last minute to check in on our dogs so that we could go away for an overnight trip. We haven’t used a sitter outside of our family in a long time, but we’re happy to say that our boys have a new friend! We will definitely be booking Leesa for future trips!”

“Trina was awesome with my 16 year old shih Tzu and will definitely be recommending and working with her again! I can tell she has a kind heart for animals in general.”

“Leo loved spending time with Minty. She was very attentive and took care of all his needs and played with him. She was great in sending updates to me. Would definitely use her again!”

“Brooke is always so helpful and sweet! I always feel comfortable and never worry about my pups when she comes and helps us out. She makes every minute count and is always so informative with her photos and rover card. We’re so happy and grateful the pups love her! It’s so nice having someone we can count on.”


About: I have worked with individuals looking for dog sitting as opposed to boarding their dogs for several years. I have worked with experienced dog trainers as an available dog sitter and dog walker by reference. Your pup can stay with me, I can also visit your home, or in general walk your pup! I am happy to meet beforehand to discourage any issues with your beautiful doggo and learn as much as I can. I am available most weekends, evenings, early mornings as well as (depending on location) during the work day. I am not a trainer, but do have connections in the industry and would be happy to connect you. I love dogs and working with owners. Let's talk about how I can best help you and your pupper! Woof woof!
“This was my first time using Rover for my 2 dogs and Keira was Great! From my first request to the time she completed the drop in visits she was very professional. She was prompt with responding to me and extremely polite. I appreciated all the communication with updates and pictures. I will definitely ask Keira to help us again in the future.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was in grad school. Mainly took care of medium to large dogs, from puppies to 10+ years old. I have a 1 year old GSP named Miles who keeps me occupied most of the time. I work 7:30-3:30 most days during the week (regular full time job). But my weekends are usually open. I do quite a few different activities to keep my little guy occupied (and I think your pup will like them too). Activities include fetch, running, hiking, some scent work, etc. I have a 7 foot tall vinyl fence that my little guys loves to play in. I also have a medium sized crate and pad to keep your pup in. I mostly keep hard chew toys around and plenty of treats.
About: I will happily care for your pet in the comfort of their own home. Whether your pet wants to lay around or go for a hike, we can do that! I have experience training a dog of my own, so I can maintain your usual basic training/rules if needed. I also have experience giving medication. I have plenty availability in my schedule to fit your needs. I am currently available nearly 24/7. I am not away for longer than 8 hours at a time any given day. I will care for your pet in your own home. I will abide by the rules of your home and look after your pet like they were my own.
About: Hi! I’m Isabella. I am 21 years old and a University of Dayton student studying law. On top of that, I am a lifelong dog lover and experienced handler. I grew up in a house with five dogs and have been surrounded by animals ever since. Most recently, I worked as a dog handler at Flyer’s Paw Zone, where I managed group dog behavior in a busy daycare setting. I’m trained in reading canine body language, quickly de-escalating conflicts, and recognizing signs of stress. I also regularly walked dogs of all sizes and energy levels during my time at Flyer’s Paw Zone. Whether you need a regular dog walker, or someone to pop in while you’re away, I will be there. As a college student, I have flexible availability and can easily adapt to your dogs specific needs/schedule. I am also available to do overnight dog sitting. I currently have a very flexible availability due to being in undergrad. Please contact me and we can set something up that works for the both of us. At the moment, I own two cats. My three dogs are at home with my mom. I regularly walk and take care of all three of them when I go visit my mom.
About: I provide reliable, loving care to keep your pet happy, comfortable, and safe while you’re away! I am an excellent communicator and responsive to pet parents! I am available for 4 visits a day if needed and committed to provided communication that you need while you are away from your pet! I am open to providing the best care for your pet at your direction! I can spend time my time doing whatever it may be to meet your pets needs!
“We knew our cat was getting the attention and care needed from Alli while we were out of town and appreciated the photos she sent. We really appreciated Alli's flexibility when my original flights were cancelled.”


About: After having worked in a veterinary office and years of pet sitting, I believe I can provide excellent care for your dog so you won't have to worry. I am able to provide house visits throughout the day, frequent walks, and some play time. I am aware of dog habits, training, and social interactions allowing for me to be aware of what the dog is meaning or wanting. I am physically fit, so I look forward to taking your dog on walks or runs and having a fun play day. Also I am not afraid to provide any bathing or special care your pup may need while you are away. I look forward to speaking with you and having a great time with your pup!! Having a dog myself that had some particular health issues, I am very familiar with the need to having someone who cares and knows what they are doing when taking care of my pet and therefore I supply the same amount of time, care and patience to others pets as well. I am very particular about my own home and therefore treat others homes the same. And if possible leave it better than how I found it. I make sure everything is cleaned up and ready for when the owners return.
About: I've had dogs ever since I was 10, but my experience with them goes far beyond that. When I was a little kid, before I ever had a dog, I would go to this read with a dog program called "Paws to Read." I would spend countless hours reading to the dogs and befriending them, along with a cat or two here and there. When I was 10, I got my first dog, a husky, and gave him a wonderful life. He had quite a few medical issues and behaved older for his age because of it, so I know how to provide senior pet care. He has since passed, but my two current dogs, one pitbull and one pitsky, remind me every day how important pets are to me. I've had them both for eight years now, during which we've taken numerous car rides, walks, enjoyed outside and inside playtime, movie nights, and anything a dog could dream of. Now, while I've never had a cat because of the majority of my family being allergic, I never turn away from a cat. I'm a regular at the Gem City Catfe, where I play with the cats often and have gone so often that they are comfortable with me. I keep cat and dog treats on me in case I come across a stray, because all cats and dogs deserve to feel some love. I've also dog-sat and house-sat for a few friends before, so I know how to handle situations like pets not getting along, bathroom accidents, and being a bit of a picky eater. Currently, I work part-time, mostly in the afternoon and evenings. Starting the third week of August, I'll be starting back up at UD as a junior, but I live in the area so I won't be going far! Because of this, starting August 25, Monday-Friday I am available before 7:00am and after 2:00pm. Saturdays I am mostly unavailable, though that is subject to change. Sundays are completely open. When it comes to my pets and caring for clients pets, the comfort of the pet is most important to me. Personally, my two dogs don't get along with each other very well, so they typically have to be separated. Even so, I always make sure to treat them both equally and give them lots of love! If I take one for a car ride and ice cream, I bring ice cream back for the other and take the other for a car ride later that week. If my client has dogs similar to mine, who need to be separated, I would be sure to treat them equally and split my time with them according to my client's requests. Given single-pet households, I'd spend a lot of my time with them! In my downtime, I'd make sure to sit with them while I work on coursework. I'd be sure to take them on walks and go for potty breaks. And of course I'd make sure we get a lot of play time in and lots of love!
About: As a pet owner myself, I completely understand how important your fur babies mean to you. I adore both dogs and cats. I have rescued my own cats and taken care of my friends' dogs( small and big ones) for years. I am experienced with oral medication administration for both cats and dogs and giving extra care for the senior fur babies. To further spread my love, care, and smile to your pets and also ease your mind when you are away from home, I will privide premium pet and house sitting services which will meet your requirements and expectations. Please feel free to contact me with all your questions and concerns and I will respond to you as soon as possible ( normally within one hour) and let's make it as efficient and effective as possible. Thank you for your considerations. I am currently working part-time and will have plenty of time to play with your fur babies. I am available Wednesdays and Thursdays and weekends after 10am. However, I am flexible enough so that we can always arrange a time to fit your schedule. I offer dog care at your home instead of mine. I would like to meet the pets and the owners first to make sure it is a good fit for us. Moreover, I prefer friendly and well behaved pets who have all the necessary updated shots records to keep both parties safe. Furthermore, please let me know any special needs of your pets so that I make sure I will definitely fulfill those needs.

Tyler D.
“Tyler is a sweet animal lover and looked after my dog for a week and took amazing care of my dog!! I had no worries whatsoever during my trip and when I picked him up he was not only clean but he was acting completely normal, peaceful, healthy and like he never even missed me unlike times when I’ve left him with other people or at boarding. Tyler went the extra mile (literally) by taking him for long walks and sharing photos and updates and by asking questions throughout his stay to make sure he was adjusting well. My dog normally doesn’t like to eat or use the bathroom by himself and I forgot to mention it and she reached out with this concern which I greatly appreciated and she made sure he ate by hanging out with him while he ate. She was very receptive to any instructions I had for his care during his stay with her and I had no uneasy feeling dropping him off or picking him up. 20/10 would recommend to friends and family :)”
Eli M.
“Eli took amazing care of our high energy pup, Mazy, while we were away on vacation. She can be a handful, but Eli handled her with so much patience, energy, and love. We came home to a happy, tired, and well-cared-for dog - which is the dream! He kept us updated with photos and messages, and we felt completely at ease knowing she was in such great hands. Eli is so truly wonderful, and we're so grateful for the care he gave Mazy. We'd book him again every time.”
Isabella S.
“Isabella is great with cats, and it's clear how much she really cares about them. I really love that she has two kitties of her own that are so happy. It's easy to see who has a spirit for taking care of animals when you look at their own furry family members!”
