House Sitting in Oakwood

“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.”

“I couldn’t be happier with the care my dogs received! From the moment we met, it was clear how genuinely kind, attentive, and experienced Isabella is. My Babies were happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved, which says everything. I especially appreciated the regular updates and photos—they gave me total peace of mind while I was away. It’s such a relief knowing I have someone I can fully trust. I’ll absolutely be booking again!”

“Elisa was lovely! Easy to communicate with and very clearly loves dogs. She took very good care of our 3 month old puppy and our 6 year old German Shepherd, so she is well versed in dogs big and small. She sent lots of photos and I could tell my girls were happy and comfortable with her. We will absolutely ask Elisa back!”

“Danni has the sweetest spirt and immediately took to our Gracie Gracie Girl and Indie Boy. She was happy to stay with our Gracie for the day (we SO appreciate that!). When we are gone, Gracie won't eat or go outside (she gets depressed). Imagine our joy and surprise when Danni let us know that Gracie ate all of her dinner and went outside for her!! Danni sent photos and kept us apprised of how the day was going. She has great respect for our home and our wishes for Gracie and we would highly recommend her. Thank you Danni!”

Susan P.

“We are so happy with the services Brandon provided while we were on vacation. We came home to very happy dogs and the house exactly how we left it. Brandon sent pictures, asked questions and made sure our animals were well loved while we were away. I couldn’t be more pleased and will definitely plan to use him for future trips. I highly recommend Brandon for house and dog sitting.”

“Michael took care of our dog and cats while we were out of town and he did a great job! He was polite, punctual, and communicative. He sent many updates and photos, which we love! Would definitely recommend him and we plan to use him again!”

About: I have been taking care of animals my entire life, I have experience with cats, bunnies, dogs, ducks, chickens, and snakes! I will give your fur (or feather) baby so much love, they'll hardly notice you're gone! I am currently a freelancer, who is underemployed so I can fit pet care into my day in whatever capacity is needed. I am happy to stay overnight as well. I have pet sat for many notable Dayton figureheads including Mrs. Ohio! My home is not equipped to host dogs, but I will happily come to yours. I am a cardio instructor who loves to be outside, so going on walks will be my favorite part of the day. I will happily play with your pets, and snuggle them on the couch while I read or work on my latest craft project. I am very tidy and will leave your home exactly as I found it.

“Lisa was awesome! Very calm and experienced. She kept us informed of our pups throughout her stay and was neat and tidy. We booked her last minute but she worked with us to still meet the doggos ahead of time ensuring we were all comfortable.”

Jessica Z.

“Kristy did a fantastic job sitting for our dogs. She kept them on their routine and our dogs warmed up to her so fast! She is a true professional and we highly recommend her.”

Rachel M.

“Morgan was WONDERFUL! We were gone on a 10 day trip and couldn’t have felt better leaving our two dogs (one of which is older and requires extra care) and our three cats in her care. She provided regular updates and spoiled them. We would definitely hire her again!”

Elizabeth C.

“Tarah was amazing with our four pets! We have two cats and two dogs and she made sure they were loved on while we were away. She even got our most anxious kitty to come snuggle with her ? we got lots of pictures. Very responsive and communicative. We will absolutely use Tarah again in the future!!”
