House Sitting in North Riverdale, Dayton, OH

“Our experience with Leesa was fantastic. Leesa proved to be a conscientious and detail-oriented sitter. Before our engagement even began, Leesa asked to come to our house to meet our dogs so she could get an understanding of their behavior and daily routine. She was attentive and receptive to all the nuances that go into their daily routine and she was also very careful to always ask questions and permission if there was something she wanted to do (e.g., prepare home-cooked doggy treats). Leesa was also very keen to replicate routines and keep old habits going strong. For example, she recorded me putting our dogs collars/leashes on so as to not disrupt the pre-walk routine that the dogs have become used to. She also picked up on a few commands that our dogs knew, and wanted to be sure to use them. Leesa was flexible (as she came to our home a few hours earlier than originally planned) and reliable with photos and updates during the stay. My wife and I were leaving town for the weekend and, as most couples do, found ourselves hurried and late. Leesa arrived and immediately stepped in, taking the dogs on a walk. She wanted to make sure that we could finish packing and hit the road without the distraction of the dogs trying to stay good-bye. Leesa gave regular reports on the dogs while we were away and continued to be mindful of anything she thought might be worth asking. Not once did I get the impression that things could go south--she seemed 100% in control. Leesa was also as gracious a guest in our home as one could ask. We returned to a hand-written, welcome-home note and two dogs that were (seemingly) better behaved than when we left. All in all, our experience with Leesa was terrific, and we hope to be able to repeat with her as often as she'll let us.”

“Katharine was a wonderful sitter for our week away. Rocko seemed very loved in our absence and the house was left in perfect condition. Looking forward to using her services again!”

Ashley C.

“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!”

“Five Stars across the board! Petey was truly wonderful. Our puppies were especially happy and well cared for. We were sent frequent pictures and update messages. Moving forward, we'll be using no one else to care for our pups.”

“Jasmine was amazing; I highly recommend. She is the perfect fit for me and my little Rebel. Jasmine and Rebel got along famously, from cuddles to doing zoomies outside. The daily pictures and texts proved that my Rebel was a happy girl. Jasmine was the perfect house guest; my place was very clean and orderly when I returned. Jasmine is also a very clear communicator; so long as your instructions are clear, she will follow them. I’m very pleased; I have already re-booked Jasmine for when I need a house/dog sitter again.”

“Emma did amazing with my senior dog.”

“Angie is awesome! I just got home and found everything just as I had left it. And when I had to leave for vacation, my sweet girl wasn’t feeling the best. Angie took everything in stride and took such good care of my pup while I was gone. I absolutely would not hesitate to have her back.”

About: I grew up with working line rottweilers on cattle farms. Later on went into the Army where I worked along side of some amazing dogs. Now I obedience train, walk, and house sit for people who love their fur children and want the best for them. I plan on getting certified in several forms of dog training, and will update this page as needed. I work with dogs full time and my schedule varies. Please feel free to reach out to me for specific time requests and scheduling thank you. At this time dog care will be limited to your home. I can easily walk your dog around your neighborhood or take them to a variety of parks. If socialization is needed for your dog I can also assist in this training.

“Sierra stepped in to overnight sit for us on our last day of vacay when our normal sitter couldn’t stay the entire time. Needless to say, we have added Sierra to our list of approved sitters! Our crew took to her immediately. We have a reactive dog, another dog that takes meds every 12 hours, and two cats. None of it was too much for her! She is responsible, timely, and gave such thorough updates. We will definitely be booking with Sierra again.”
