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.

“Abby is one of a kind! Our usual sitter was unavailable due to the holiday and we had to find someone last minute (I may have procrastinated a bit). Abby was more than willing to do so and was amazing at it! On time, great care of all pets and even filled out humidifier when it was running low! We will definitely recommend and be using Abby again!”


“Monroe has been great with checking on our cats! She always writes a great summary of each visit, and takes precious photos! We feel so confident that our cats are getting so much love when she comes to visit :) we are grateful for Monroe, and will definitely ask to book with her for our future travels!!”


“Sierra was wonderful with our dog! She left detailed reports and sent lots of pictures for her drop in visits. She was very reliable and our dog really seemed to love her visits!”


About: Hi! I’m Isabella. I am 21 years old and a University of Dayton student studying law. On top of that, I am a lifelong dog lover and experienced handler. I grew up in a house with five dogs and have been surrounded by animals ever since. Most recently, I worked as a dog handler at Flyer’s Paw Zone, where I managed group dog behavior in a busy daycare setting. I’m trained in reading canine body language, quickly de-escalating conflicts, and recognizing signs of stress. I also regularly walked dogs of all sizes and energy levels during my time at Flyer’s Paw Zone. Whether you need a regular dog walker, or someone to pop in while you’re away, I will be there. As a college student, I have flexible availability and can easily adapt to your dogs specific needs/schedule. I am also available to do overnight dog sitting. I currently have a very flexible availability due to being in undergrad. Please contact me and we can set something up that works for the both of us. At the moment, I own two cats. My three dogs are at home with my mom. I regularly walk and take care of all three of them when I go visit my mom.


“I am so glad Kelly was available for a drop in visit. Her communication was top-notch. She was also extremely reliable, punctual, and clearly experienced with animals. You can tell she truly loves what she does, and it shows in how she cares for your pet like they’re her own. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and professional, I highly recommend Kelly. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!”


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 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.”

Midtown pet parents share their Rover experiences
Brooke is always so helpful and sweet! I always feel comfortable and never worry about my pups when she comes and helps us out. She makes every minute count and is always so informative with her photos and rover card. We’re so happy and grateful the pups love her! It’s so nice having someone we can count on.

We rebooked Kelly to watch our dogs when we were out of town and she was fantastic as usual. One of our foster dogs can be a little nervous around new people and Kelly was great with her. We got back to dogs who were relaxed and totally normal. It was as if we’d just stepped out for a normal work day! Kelly kept their routines running smoothly. It’s like they barely noticed we were gone! We will definitely book with her again!

Petey was so helpful w my grumpy elder male cat. He cleaned up after him even when he spotted poo markings on a chair, and kept me up to date on how he was doing w his meds, poops (big part of his diabetes and elder cat needs) and spirit :) wish I could use him again in Nola but he'll be moving to OH! Good luck and thanks so much Petey!
