House Sitting in Little Richmond, Dayton, OH

“One of my dogs had to have emergency back surgery 3 days before our trip out of town! Serenity came to the vet to get instructions and took such great care of my baby I was able to relax on my trip knowing he was in good hands. She sent plenty of pictures and cared for my dogs as if they were here own.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 6 and I’m great with all sizes, breeds and ages as I’ve helped multiple dogs give birth and I’ve also taken care of geriatric dogs. I have volunteered at Our Farm Sanctuary and I 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 dogs, 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

“Tatum was absolutely amazing! Last minute booking that saved our vacation! The updates through out the day and pictures where reassuring things were going well! Maverick enjoyed her company. Would love to use her again!”

“Monroe did an amazing job taking care of my dogs and was very flexible. I have a lot of anxiety leaving them and she did a good job checking in and letting me know how they were doing. Definitely would book with her again!”

“Extremely satisfied with Ashley! I’ll be the first to admit i am overbearing when it comes to my animals, like many they are my WHOLE world. Living in a new town where i know no one i needed a sitter. Thanks to her many positive reviews i went with Ashley. She did a meet and greet with my pets and me before the sitting and was super sweet. She kept me updated on everything at home and my pets, sending me pictures and putting my mind at ease. She was respectful of my home and my pets seemed super content when i got home, which tells me they were comfortable with Ashley. She will be my go to whenever I’m out of town!!”

“She was amazing! I was very nervous about using rover again after a bad experience in the past, but she completely exceded my expectations and took great care of my baby! She was respectful of my home and gave me frequent, daily updates including photos about my pup! Would absolutely book again and recommend to others! 🐾”

“Deborah was so sweet and caring of the dogs. Our babies are very large and can be intimidating if you don't give them a chance to show that they are loving, but she handled meeting them with care and confidence and they took to her almost immediately. She was respectful of our home, cleaned up after the dogs who are very messy/dirty, and also took care of the fish while we were away. Our newfoundland with separation anxiety is acting normal now that we're home, whereas he usually acts sick when we leave him alone for only 5-8 hours; so we know he was given lots of love and attention. Thank you Deborah!”

“Brandon is great!!! Took pictures and videos everyday and updates. I would definitely use him again. Thanks again for taking care of my most prized possession. Terri”

“This was my 1st time using Rover and having a dog sitter that comes to my house. Yolena was very great with caring for my 3 dogs. She gave me daily reports and addressed any concerns or questions I had. I plan on using her services again in the future.”

“David is an excellent pet sitter! I have used him twice and have been pleased with how many updates and pictures I get! My dog is fairly shy and David gave him the time to adjust and won him over with many treats.”

“My friend Adam has previously watched our pets while we were out of town. He adores animals, he is great with cats and dogs. Adam is a very hard worker. I think your pets would enjoy Adam's company. I believe he would ensure they have food, treats, clean water, clean litter boxes or to be taken out side for adequate potty breaks. I believe if it is a dog, and weather was favorable, he would walk your dog around the block for some good exercise. They might even hear a relaxing harmonica song while in his care. I believe your pets would be in trusted paws with my friend Adam.”

“Sophie was amazing with our pups. They have missed her since we got home. Dogs had plenty of attention and she even took them on a walk. Will definitely use her again!”

“Mia made fast friends with my 2 rescues! And they don’t usually warm up to strangers quickly. (They weren’t treated well by the people who had them for the first 6 months or so of their lives.) Mia kept me up to speed on their adventures while I was gone, sending me pictures and telling me how they were doing. I am so glad that we found Mia - I will definitely use her again to care for my kids! 🐾🥰”

“We had an unexpected trip come up and I needed a dog sitter as soon as possible. We had heard very good things about Rover! We found Christina and she was available the days we needed. She came to meet with our dog Fiona and Fiona loved her right away. Christina has a gentle, kind way with animals you could tell immediately. I had never left Fiona and I was so anxious. I am a total helicopter Mom. Christina made us feel very comfortable. She sent photos and videos of Fiona while we were away. This made us feel so relieved that all was going well. I highly recommend Christina to care for your fur baby. I could tell Fiona missed her new friend when Christina left. Thank you!”

“Claire did such a wonderful job house sitting and taking care of my cat and tropical fish. She is an excellent communicator providing text updates with pictures. She’s also quick to respond with questions. She’s very clean and left the house cleaner than when she found it. What a wonderful house and pet sitter! Highly recommend!”

“Ashley was outstanding with my rambunctious bassett pup. I had previously overnighted jolene at a kennel. She was a wreck which resulted in my being a wreck. Thought to give housesitting a shot and am so glad I did. The normalcy was great for jo. I was able to truly enjoy my time away. Ashley is an incredibly sweet person with great communication skills. Very accommodating and sent lots of reassuring pics. Thank you, Ashley!!”

“Petey was absolutely amazing with my two pups. He checked in with us multiple times a day and when one of our dogs wasn’t feeling well he did a wonderful job of taking care of her. He will definitely be our 1st choice dog sitter moving forward.”

“Janice was amazing while taking care of Nacho and house sitting. Updated and pics were frequent and reassuring. House and Nacho were well taken care of. Will definitely look to book again. Thank you Janice!”

About: I’ve been a dog lover and cat lover since I was atleast 8 I grew up with a dog but it died 5 years ago I miss Roscoe I’ve trained dogs and will always be the dog whisperer I have a very open schedule I work 4am to 10am or I work 4 am to 11am just communicate what you need I’d help I have a dog myself she’s a lonely dog and loves to play and they could make best friends she’s a really calm dog just craves attention

“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 :)”
