“Cassie took such good care of our two dogs while we were out of town and even through power outages over the weekend she still came and took care of them in the dark. Will definitely be booking with her again when needed”
“Bradley is reliable and a great communicator, and he even brought in a package off our porch! It puts my mind at ease knowing that our young dog is not alone for long stretches and can stay home instead of going to daycare before she’s ready.”
“Erin is a Punctual ,Comunicative person.She was carefully listening to what needs to be done. My dog enjoyed her time with her. When Erin left the house my dog was behind the door crying for a while. They had a good time. The picture she took from my dog isabsolute beauty whch shows she cares for what she is doung not just a simple picture and my furry baby has her besutiful smile showing that she has ultimate happiness. Thank you Erin.Cannot wait to have you again.”
“Amazing with my big, energetic German Shepherds. Minty is perfect for anyone who has German shepherds and is looking for someone who understands their quirkiness, need to exercise, and engagement in play. I would absolutely recommend her services and plan to have her regularly care for my pups!”
“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!”
“Yolena was incredibly helpful and left robust notes at the end of her visit that left me feeling sure that my baby was well-taken care of. She communicated well and even helped with mail without being asked. Would highly recommend Yolena to any pet parent!”
“Haley did an awesome job caring for my two cats while I was away. They were very shy at first but she persevered and they warmed up to her. I definitely will hire her again!”
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.
“Siera was so awesome with my dogs . She even got kisses from the one that doesn’t like anyone. I am so grateful for all she did for my fur babies. I will defiantly use her again.”
About: I grew up on a farm caring for all kinds of animals, which taught me responsibility, patience, and instinct. I provide dependable, attentive care tailored to your pet’s unique needs. I work a very flexible job that allows me to work from home when needed to take care of your pets during the day. I am free almost every evening and weekend. When caring for pets in their home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I follow all feeding, walking, and medication instructions exactly as given, and I take time to bond with each pet through play, attention, and calm companionship. I keep the home tidy, respect the space, and provide regular updates so owners feel at ease while they’re away. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their own environment.
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.
“Marisha has taken care of our 3 cats several times. She is conscientious and excellent at comminicating. She has also been willing to feed community cats (at our request) that stop by. She has gone above and beyond on a couple of occasions. I will hire her again.”
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.
“I Highly recommend Abbi, she is very kind and understanding! I know she took good care of my kitties and they both loved her. Even the one who usually doesn’t come put for people let her hold him and cuddle.”
“A kind, communicative, and thorough pet sitter. She did a great job with my cat’s drop-in visits during the week and I had no issues. Attentive and did what I asked plus more! I’d recommend Heavyn-Ley.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 6. I’m great with all sizes, breeds and ages as I’ve helped multiple dogs give birth and taken care of geriatric dogs. I have volunteered at Our Farm Sanctuary and I currently foster for The Rescue Haven :) My life has always been surrounded by dogs, I love my animals more than anything. The first thing I do when I wake up is take care of the pups, take them on a walk and then give them their breakfast and enrichment bowls/mats. I base my daily routine off my pets! I have fenced in yard and three fixed golden retrievers that are sweethearts. If you use a crate, I do ask that you provide that as I only have 2 of my own and they are occupied by my two youngest dogs. I have to crate Tucker and Dixie because they will eat anything when they’re bored, INCLUDING a wall 🤣 the crate will be cleaned and sanitized before pickup. I also ask that you provide your own food, that way there’s no upset bellies! I have plenty of natural treats if you’re okay with your dog having them
