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.

“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 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.

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

“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.”


About: I grew up around dogs, caring for all breeds and sizes. I am experienced in puppy care, senior dogs, and providing loving attention to every furry friend. With a flexible job and my law studies, I have plenty of free time to offer personalized care for your pet. I can easily adjust my schedule to provide walks, playtime, and attention whenever needed. I provide a safe, familiar environment by following your pet’s routine, ensuring their comfort and well-being. I’m careful with home safety and always keep you updated.

“Great! I needed a dog walker unexpectedly and she responded immediately and walked my (very hard to manage) large puppy. I got a nice picture of my sweet and worn out puppy after her walk.”


“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.”
