Dog Sitting Kettering

About: I have been a long time pet owner. On Oct. 17, 2023 I lost my little dog Neil. He was 12 years old and meant the world to me. He was my faithful companion and travel partner. Before moving to Ohio in November 2023, I spent the past 3 years living in Mexico volunteering with a rescue organization which gave me an even broader insight into caring for animals. I apply that knowledge and care to other animals. I am a mother and grandmother to humans, but I love my pets like they are my children. You can expect the same love, care and treatment of your pets when I care for them. I have experience with dogs and cats ranging from puppies/kittens to seniors; pets requiring medical care to very active ones. I’m certain that I can care for your fur baby, too. I am a stay at home grandma that has free time during the day making me available for drop-in checks, play dates and walks with your pet. Visits after 4pm can be arranged with advance notice. My time is my own, making it easy to care for your pet in their own home, be it for a day or for the length of your vacation. I will care for your pet at your home according to your specific instructions. I ask that pets be up to date on all vaccinations. Any food or treats that you would like your pet to have should be provided by you. I do not provide those due to the potential risk of allergies and/or special dietary restrictions your pet may have.

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

“Grace has been watching my dog while I’m at work for the past few months and she does a great job with him. She’s reliable and even taught him a few tricks. I’d recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”

About: I’ve grown up with a plethora of animals. I’ve wanted to volunteer at the humane society since i was young. I worked at pet land as a kennel tech for roughly 6 months and owned ferrets, birds, cats, and dogs. I’m currently a senior in high school saving up for college: I get out early from school and entirely free from weekends. During the week evening visits are all i’d be available for. Weekends whenever is needed. I have experienced with all kinds of animals. Troublesome dogs to cats, even ferrets and birds. So any accommodation of worry that you need i can handle.

About: I grew up with dogs and Christmas still includes 5 pups. I have put boots on an aging golden retriever and have administered medication to dogs with both dementia and epilepsy I work from home so I can provide drop in service before 9, at lunch or in the evening. If I am house sitting I can work from your home and provide more frequent bathroom breaks but depending on the stay length/day I may need to leave for 2-3 hours in the even for social engagements or to care for my own cats. I will not have other animals in my home out of concern for my cats but I intend to match the pets daily schedule to my best ability to minimize the disturbance in their routine and provide some extra love while they are missing their humans.

About: I've shared my life with animals for more than 30 years, and I truly can't imagine a home without them. Over the years, I've cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, turtles, fish, hermit crabs, and more. Every animal has its own unique personality, and getting to know what makes each one feel safe, happy, and loved is one of my greatest joys. My heart has a special place for senior pets. My beloved Shih Tzu, Paisley, was my soulmate and constant companion for 15 wonderful years. Caring for her through every stage of life taught me patience, compassion, and the importance of paying attention to the little things—whether that's noticing a change in behavior, sticking to a medication schedule, or simply knowing when a pet needs extra comfort and reassurance. Today, my home is filled with the joyful chaos of two rambunctious hounds, Hunter & Brownie, and one mischievous black kitty, Batman (Mr. Meeps), who keep me laughing every single day. They remind me that every pet is wonderfully unique, with their own personality, quirks, and favorite ways to be loved. Whether your companion is an energetic puppy, a curious cat, or a sweet senior who prefers a slower pace, I'm committed to providing the individualized care, patience, and affection they deserve. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is about so much more than feeding and walking them. They are family. When they're in my care, I'll treat them with the same love, respect, and attention I'd want for my own. Whether your pet loves long walks, endless games of fetch, quiet cuddle time, or simply having someone nearby who makes them feel safe, I'll meet them where they are. I'm dependable, attentive, and genuinely enjoy caring for animals of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I'll provide plenty of love, playtime, exercise, and affection, along with regular photo and message updates so you can relax knowing your furry family member is happy, safe, and well cared for while you're away. My goal is simple: for you to return home to a happy pet—and for your pet to look forward to seeing me again. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable care throughout the day, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekends, and holidays. This flexibility means I can accommodate your pet's normal routine as closely as possible, whether that includes walks, playtime, feeding schedules, medication reminders, or simply spending quality time together. My goal is to provide consistent, reliable care so your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I believe pets are happiest when they can maintain their normal routine, especially while their family is away. In your home, I'll follow your pet's schedule as closely as possible, including feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), potty breaks, litter box cleaning, and, of course, plenty of love and attention. I'll also make sure your home is respected by bringing in mail or packages, watering plants if requested, and leaving everything just as I found it. I know every pet is unique. Some love to play, some prefer long walks, and others simply want a calm companion nearby. I'll take the time to understand your pet's personality and tailor my care to help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I'll also send regular photo and message updates so you can enjoy your time away with confidence, knowing your pet is receiving attentive, compassionate care every step of the way.

About: I've always been a huge animal lover, and pet sitting started because I genuinely enjoy spending time with pets. My first job was caring for a family friend's dog, and I'd happily make the trip over after school to feed them, take them on long walks or runs around the pond, and make sure they got plenty of attention and exercise. It never felt like work—it was something I looked forward to every day. That experience sparked a love for pet care that has stayed with me. Whether I'm caring for a playful puppy, an energetic adult dog, or a senior pet who needs extra patience and attention, I treat every animal like they're my own. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, happy, and loved while giving owners peace of mind that they're in good hands. Pet care has been part of my routine for the past 4½ years! I work every day, but I work shorter shifts, so I’m home throughout the day for walks, potty breaks, and check-ins. Outside of work, I’m usually home and spend my evenings and weekends with the pets I’m watching. My boyfriend, who also happens to be my neighbor, is home much of the day and loves dogs just as much as I do. We actually met because the Frenchie I was watching got very excited to see him and tried to follow him into his apartment (he saw a tennis ball 😂) — and the rest is history! Between the two of us, your pets get plenty of company, attention, and love while you’re away. 🐶❤️ I'm pretty low-key and spend a lot of time at home, so pets get plenty of company. I enjoy going on long walks, so I'm happy to keep active dogs exercised. I stick to each pet's normal routine and make sure they're comfortable, well cared for, and getting the attention they need.

About: Growing up we always had at least 2 dogs that I helped care for. I’ve also dog sat for friends and family numerous times throughout the years. I have also had experience with cats. I occasionally house sit for a wonder couple and take care of their cat when they go out of town. Im currently going to college to be a teacher so I have most afternoons Monday- Friday free! Also I am almost always free on weekends:) I love caring for animals. Especially getting to play with them and making sure they are well cared for. I always make sure to keep a close eye on them especially when out and about walking them.

About: I’ve had rescue dogs my whole adult life, 3lbs to 120lbs. My pets are my world and I will treat your pets how I’d want mine treated. I am a full time nurse and work 3/12hr shifts weekly overnight so I’m available for walks/play in the mornings and throughout the day. I am studying dog grooming also so that I can start my own business and add that as a service provided. Walking, playing, bathing, feeding, snuggling etc. are services I can provide to keep your pets comfortable in your absence…they will be excited to see you when you return but will have been loved well while you were gone.

“I can't give much feedback since it was only 2 days and Luna hides from strangers, but Kristin was on time for all visits and took care of everything.”

About: I have been a professional dog trainer for 20 years working with everything from police dogs, therapy dogs, service dogs, rescue dogs, sport dogs, and happy go lucky pets so it’s safe to say I’ve seen and worked with it all! But my big thing is really teaching dogs how to be dogs as that is where I find the root of most dogs behavioral problems. So I am happy to help people who live busy lives to come in and play with, walk, and socialize with your dog. I am the owner of my own dog training business, Dogs by Nature, and create my own schedule. So as long as I have notice I can be flexible. I also offer $5 off if you go through my business vs Rover For the most part I go to clients homes and care for your dog there. I’m happy to fallow any instructions left. If for some reason we agree for me to pick up your dog they ride in a crash tested dog crate and will have a gps tracker on them that I am happy to share the location with you.
