“Bradley walked our dog and she was much less high energy when I got home from work! It was much needed. Also I’m pretty sure he brought our trash cans in from the curb!!”
“Friendly, professional, and reliable. Chloe, you are a natural, and there are few people I could imagine so quickly trusting with the extra care and attention that Lola needs. Thank you!”
About: Since I was in kindergarten I knew I wanted to pursue taking care of all animals. As I prepare for veterinary school, I love the opportunity to learn all new types of animals. I’ve been sitting and walking all ages of dogs for years now and would love to add your fur baby to my experience! I’m currently focusing on sitting and caring for animals around the Dayton area. I will have availability tons of time for sittings, walks, and hopefully soon boardings!! While I can’t say I can board dogs at the moment, that should soon hopefully change. In terms of coming to a client’s house I always try to be very mindful and caring towards their home, cleaning up any mess made by me or the pets along the way!
“Leesa is wonderful! She is dependable and extremely knowledgeable about dogs. My puppy, Sebastian loves her!”
About: I’ve cared for pets of all ages, from playful puppies to sweet senior dogs. I’m patient and gentle, and I know how to tailor care to your pet’s unique needs. Whether it's giving meds, keeping up with energetic walks, or offering lots of cuddles, I’ve got it covered. I also have experience with crate training and basic commands, and I always treat pets like family. I’m reliable and communicative, and I truly love what I do! I’m a student at UD with online classes this summer, which gives me a super flexible schedule and plenty of free time. I’ll be available all summer for walks, drop-ins, playtime, or overnight stays. Since my classes are remote, I can easily plan my day around your pet’s routine and give them the attention and care they deserve. I have two friendly goldendoodles of my own (Henry and Milo), so I’m very used to providing loving, attentive care every day. I’ve also taken care of my neighbors’ dogs and cats, so I’m comfortable with different breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Whether I’m in my home or yours, I focus on creating a safe, clean, and calm environment where pets feel secure and happy. I treat every animal like part of the family and always follow the routine that works best for them.
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.
“Lucy loves Michelle! Michelle is professional, and treats Lucy with great care and compassion. She loves our dog as if she were her own. I know I can trust any of my pets with Michelle. She has so much great experience and she really knows how to care for animals. ❤️ She’s the best walker/sitter we’ve ever had!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid- from dog sitting for neighbors when I was a kid to dog sitting for relatives and friends as an adult. I’ve also owned a Dachshund, a German Shepherd, and Great Dane (yes, I kept sizing up lol). I’m currently available all day Monday-Thursday in the morning and afternoon. Since I have the summer free, I will prioritize your pet care in my daily schedule. When pets stay with me, I treat them like part of the family. I make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable in a calm, clean environment (no kids and I don’t smoke). I stick closely to their normal routines (including feeding times, walks, and potty breaks) and I’m always happy to provide updates, photos, and messages to make you feel conn acted when you’re away. If your pet has any special needs (like medication or dietary preferences), I’m experienced and attentive to those details. When I take care of pets in their own home, I aim to keep everything as consistent as possible by following instructions carefully and treating your space with the utmost respect. I’ll make sure they have plenty of companionship, exercise, and affection while you’re away.
About: I have owned a Goldendoodle for 6 years and adore him and everything to do with dogs. I love caring for dogs by playing and spending quality time with them. I think every dog only needs some playful attention and plenty of cuddles to keep them happy. I am currently working part-time, so will have plenty of time to play with your pups! I have a very flexible schedule that can be adjusted when needed. Taking care of pets is one of my favorite hobbies! :) I have a large fenced-in yard for your pet to run around in, as well as one dog to keep them company! I am very well equipped to take a dog for a walk, and care for your pet in your home such as feeding and keeping them company!
About: I've always loved animals, ever since my childhood. I have experience with both dogs and cats. My experience with cats even includes giving medicine, which can be a challenging task for most. I have extremely open availability to care for pets, as I am currently between jobs. I've decided to take some time away from my corporate path and enjoy simpler things that bring me joy. Animals are one of those things! I pay careful attention to every animal in order to notice their unique needs. All pets have different personalities and I make sure to interact with each pet in a way that works best for them.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and have usually been the one to take care of them. I also have experience watching the neighbors dogs and taking them for walks, feeding them, and any other care they need. I am currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to take care of the dogs! I can care for them on weekends and weekdays! If I am at work, my family will usually be home to let them out, feed them, etc. I have a fenced in yard and a friendly miniature golden retriever (~70lbs) to keep your dog company! I can also crate your dog if needed and give it its own space for feeding, relaxing, or etc.
About: I love taking care of animals! I am flexible in the evenings and happy to help take care of your furry best friend at home. I work 9am-4:30pm in Dayton. I am able to check in on your animals before work (7-9am) or after work (4:30-10pm). I am very flexible on the weekends! I love animals and always take care of them like they are my own animal! Dog and cat cuddles are my favorite. I can be very gentle with older animals if needed and give them additional care.
“Haley is the most reliable and communicative and helpful dog walker I’ve ever had. I am unable to walk my dog and she has not let me down at all. My dog freaks out to see her and she comes back happy and exhausted. I am so happy I chose her!!!”
About: We’ve had dogs of all sizes in our home since I can remember. And I’ve raised a few of my own along with 2 cats I am available all week. I can check in on your pets and let them out and feed them according to your routine. I will also walk your pets. I can also board and host daily care of multiple pets. You can leave me any detailed instructions on how you’d like your pet cared for. I’ll come in and take them out into the yard to do their business, or change their pads/clean up cat litter and clean any messes they may have left. If they need to be fed I’ll give them food and water also according to your instructions. And if they need to be walked around the neighborhood or park I can do that also. When they are in my home you can bring toys, beds, or Blankets that they feel more comfortable in, but I can provide that as well. You may bring your own food that does well for their diet.
“We reached out to Karoline for reoccurring dog walks and they are simply wonderful. They are responsive, personable, kind, flexible and trustworthy. Our pup was immediately comfortable with Karoline the moment they walked through the door. They are working with Zoe to be less distracted by squirrels and critters on their walks and we also receive updates and adorable photos after their adventures. They are one of the most patience and punctual humans you will meet ... I highly recommend Karoline, and trust her completely with our fur baby.”
“Yolena is very thorough and reliable! She always takes great care of my dog.”
“Melanie did a great job walking Winston, our English bulldog. She was always on schedule and made sure Winston got to sniff all of his favorite things. Really appreciated all of the prompt communication as well including daily photos!”
About: Hey, there! I'm a sitter and pet owner that focuses on the importance of enrichment in the lives of our animals, whether their owner is away or cuddling them on the couch. I have over 10 years of pet care experience, including cats and dogs, and would love to provide the same care and attention to your pets as I'd provide my own. If you have any special considerations, please let me know. They deserve the best and I'll work with you to ensure they get it! I currently work weekdays in the early morning until around noon. I am happy to coordinate schedules and can accommodate according to your needs and the needs of your pet. In the case of boarding, my home is a private residence with a cat with access to her own room and a yard for leashed dogs. The house also has a spare room for your pet if they need a place to have to themselves! I'm also happy to drop by your home throughout the day to keep your pet safe, enriched, and ready for you when you're back! I communicate regularly with owners and make sure to take plenty of pictures!
About: I grew up in a house with dogs my whole life. I’ve taken care of puppies, older dogs, neighbors’ dogs, and love going on walks. I would take care of your pet like it was my own. I’m working a part-time job with the University of Dayton but would only be gone around 3-4 hours of the day. I exercise everyday and go on walks/runs each morning and evenings. I am available most weekends as well without shifts. I am living in a house this summer with one other roommate. It is spacious and while we don’t have a backyard, there are parks nearby and we do have a small grass area on the side.
About: I grew up with two dogs in the home and helped raise them from puppies! I now have my own cat, George who I rescued a year ago and could not live without. I have a general love for all animals and have also helped out many friends with their pets when they’ve needed it. I have a very flexible schedule and have plenty of availability to spend time with and walk your pets. I currently only work evenings, and I have plenty of weekday and weekend availability! I know that our fur babies are our best friends. I would treat your pets like my own! I am good at following specific instructions, and I have had pets of all personalities over the years.

Although they are super friendly they can be very shy around New people especially men. I knew Graham was special when my dogs immediately went to him and wanted to play and cuddle! Wynston even brought him his favorite toy which he NEVER does! He was very communicative and sent pictures of the boys through out the day so I was always updated. I would book him again and highly recommend”
