About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, usually multiple at a time, all shapes and sizes. Your pup will receive top-tier, attentive care with your instructions followed to the letter. Beyond that, expect plenty of walks, play sessions, cuddles, and adventures. I genuinely love dogs and treat every pet like my own. As a student, I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate almost any timing mornings, evenings, weekends, you name it. I work around your needs and will always make your pet my top priority. I have a friendly dog at home who loves meeting new friends! When watching pets in your home, you can expect to come back to everything exactly as you left it, if not a little cleaner. I treat every home and pet with the utmost respect and care.

“I needed someone kinda last minute to walk my pup Sage. Alyson was available and quick to respond. She shared photos and left a detailed description of her visit with Sage, which is always comforting to a dog parent. Thanks for taking good care of my girl, Alyson!”

“Shaelyn has been a life saver. She jumped in and took care of Annie like an absolute pro. She made sure she was walked, fed, and cuddled. Will definitely use her again and recommend her to anyone needing a dog sitter or walker.”

About: I’m 21 years old and have had dogs my entire life. I’ve fostered dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to senior dogs, and I understand that every dog has unique needs and personalities. I also have a rescue dog of my own, which has given me experience with patience, trust-building, and positive care. I genuinely love spending time with dogs and will treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’m a college student with a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide dependable pet care throughout the week. I can accommodate a variety of needs, including walks, drop-in visits, playtime, feeding, and overnight care. I enjoy spending time with animals and will make sure your pet gets the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. I provide a safe, loving, and caring environment for every pet in my care. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I’ll follow their usual routine, make sure they have fresh water, regular meals, exercise, and plenty of attention. I understand that every pet is different, so I’ll respect their individual needs and make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family.

“Kaitlyn did a fantastic job, even making sure that my puppy is safe.”

About: **SERIOUS INQUIRIES ONLY, PLEASE!** 😄 Hi, I am Isabella and I will be a great companion, friend & nurturer to your pets!! I love to spend time with dogs whether that’s playing with them, going for a walk, a park adventure, giving them baths, rewarding them or just hanging out- I meet all their needs at all times. Aside from that, I also keep your home CLEAN & SAFE! I am huge on safety so you will be in good hands with me. I am also happy to do small errands for you- (mail monitoring, etc.) so you can enjoy your time away from home without worries, or be less distracted during your work day. If requested, I am happy to send picture updates to show your dog is living the dream. 😄😉 I have taken care of dogs of various breeds since I was 9 years old. Growing up, I owned a Chow Chow, which was a real treat. I even loved giving her baths! She had 2 litters of puppies-sets of 6 & 8, so I got lots of joy from training & playing with puppies until they were adopted. Since then, I have done pet sitting/house sitting/babysitting for various friends & family over the years, and eventually started using Rover in 2021. The most dogs I’ve house-sat with at one time are 3. I am accustomed to following your pet’s individualized routine. I am very much a dog lover. I don’t currently own one due to apartment restrictions, but greatly wish I could. I like to dog sit because I get so much out of it. I truly LOVE DOGS! I am quite familiar with various breeds and their unique traits. Some of the breeds I have cared for are as follows: Akita, American Eskimo, Australian Shepherd, Bernedoodle, Bichon Frise, Border Collie, Boxer, Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Chow Chow, English Bulldog, Frenchie, German Shepherd, Great Dane, Greyhound, Golden Retriever, Jack Russell Terrier, Labradoodle, Labrador Retriever, Pug, Newfoundland, Rat Terrier, Rottweiler, Saint Bernard, Sheltie, Toy Poodle, Welsh Corgi. I cared quite often for a dog with congestive heart failure who needed medicine & needed monitored for his breathing & risk for fainting. I’ve also cared for blind dogs and older dogs with dementia. Some of the dogs I’ve watched take medicine or have dietary supplements and restrictions. I’ve never had any pet emergencies while pet-sitting for others, but did have to take my family dog on an emergency run in her final days which resulted in her passing from old age at 16 years. I mention this to say, if an emergency would ever arise while pet sitting- I am familiar with the process to get the dog help. I have MedVet info saved to my phone so you can rest easy knowing I am prepared for any out of the ordinary circumstances any time of day or night. I also like cats & have done cat sitting on a more rare occasion, including homes with a cat and dog, or only cats. I have lived with a cat who was very close to me in recent years so I am familiar with their behaviors and needs. I’ve also administered medication to a cat with FIV although it is a bit tricky. I hope that I have given you good insight on my pet sitting experience and look forward to being your new dog or even cat sitter if needed! Please feel free to ask questions! I look forward to meeting your pet soon! Thanks for reading my profile. I currently have a very adaptable schedule and i’m currently accepting new clients and bookings at this time, although I am typically in high demand. I can walk your dog around the neighborhood or take the pet to the nearest park, if it’s during a safe time of the day and a more safe neighborhood! I am sure to give frequent bathroom breaks & always take the dog out right before bed time! I will care for your home & possessions like they are my own. I always leave the home in the same condition I arrived to or even a touch more tidy if I am house sitting.

About: Things to know about me: 1. I’ve been dog-obsessed since before the age of 5. I’m now 40(ish), and still have to control my natural and immediate impulse to pet every dog I see. And cats…and goats. Mostly dogs. 2. I have extensive experience with dogs of all kinds. I spent years volunteering at the SPCA. I’ve fostered, dog-sat, socialized and walked all kinds of dogs - large to small, long to short, elderly to puppies. I’ve been bitten more times than I care to admit, and I’ve still NEVER met a dog I don’t like. 3. They belong indoors, in the bed, and on the furniture. They deserve the cheese tax and also the chicken tax. There’s no such thing as a bad dog. I said what I said. In short, if you’re in or around the Dayton area and you need a walker or a day-sitter, I’ll be happy to. And I’ll love your dog like they’re my own while I’m with them. I’m currently available Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. throughout the day. I’m occasionally available on weekends during the day, although that availability is a little more infrequent. I’m available to walk and play with your dog, let them out, give treatos or feed as needed, and work on leash training and basic commands if needed.

“Elisa does such a great job when we need a walk and dinner for our dogs. We trust her to take care of our pups, especially because they can be high maintenance and sometimes hard to walk. Love that she sends us pictures too.”

About: I grew up with many family dogs in the span of 20 years. I am willing to learn how the owner wants their pets taken care of. I work full time. I am willing to work on my off days which are Saturday - Monday. I am open minded and willing to learn. I can provide care at the pets home. Provide me with a list of desired tasks and I will complete them. I want the owner and the pets satisfied.

About: I have a lifelong history of caring for aninals, wether it be on the farm as a kid or the five years of experience in veterinary medicine.

About: I have been a professional dog trainer for 20 years working with everything from police dogs, therapy dogs, service dogs, rescue dogs, sport dogs, and happy go lucky pets so it’s safe to say I’ve seen and worked with it all! But my big thing is really teaching dogs how to be dogs as that is where I find the root of most dogs behavioral problems. So I am happy to help people who live busy lives to come in and play with, walk, and socialize with your dog. I am the owner of my own dog training business, Dogs by Nature, and create my own schedule. So as long as I have notice I can be flexible. I also offer $5 off if you go through my business vs Rover For the most part I go to clients homes and care for your dog there. I’m happy to fallow any instructions left. If for some reason we agree for me to pick up your dog they ride in a crash tested dog crate and will have a gps tracker on them that I am happy to share the location with you.
