Doggy Day Care in Oakwood Village

“I rebooked with Celinda for dog daycare. My toy poodle loved spending time with Celinda and her family and her dogs . She sent adorable pics and even took Charlie to the park . I will be rebooking again .”

“Kristol was the perfect dog sitter. Very warm and welcoming to us and our fur babies. My dog had never been to a dog sitter before, but everything was perfect. My dog felt very comfortable there and did great. Kristol sent several photos, which made me feel better. I would use Kristol's service anytime I could. Recommend her highly.”

About: With my background as a vet tech, I’m used to building my day around animal care. I prioritize structured routines, close observation, and dependable timing for feeding, medications, and overall well-being. As a stay-at-home mom with a vet tech background, I’m able to offer attentive, flexible care while maintaining structured routines, close observation, and dependable support for each pet’s needs. I provide attentive, customized care based on each pet’s routine, personality, and needs. In a client’s home, I maintain their normal schedule as closely as possible—feeding, walks, playtime, and medications—while keeping their environment clean, calm, and stress-free. I’m especially mindful of subtle changes in behavior or health, thanks to my vet tech background. If caring for pets in my home, I create a safe, comfortable space with plenty of supervision, enrichment, and affection. I prioritize a structured environment to help pets feel secure and relaxed. Communication is important to me, so I provide regular updates, photos, and reassurance while you’re away.

“We’re so happy we found Arlissa to care for our Aubie. Great communication from booking through drop off and pickup. Arlissa’s front porch is fenced and gated, her yard is an “amusement park” for dogs. We appreciate the photos and comments while Aubie was in her care. Arlissa truly cares for the welfare of a “fur baby” in her care. If we travel through here again, we would use her services without hesitation.”

About: For the past 8 years, I have been involved in rescue work and have gained experience fostering dogs and cats of varying ages and personalities. I have also worked at a dog training facility, gaining more experience and knowledge of dogs' body language, needs, and training. From caring for newborn puppies to senior dogs, from fearful to playful, every experience has been fulfilling. I am a proud owner of three rescue fur babies who bring love and joy into my life every day. I will forever be grateful for all the lessons they taught me and continue teaching me every day about love, joy, compassion, appreciation and patience I believe in using positive reinforcement methods and showing patience and creativity when handling animals. I have deep respect for their unique personalities and always strive to ensure their safety and well-being, fostering positive associations and allowing them the freedom to make choices independently Hey there! I recently relocated to Dayton and am looking for opportunities to spend as much time as possible with animals. I am fascinated by animal psychology and behaviour, and by how they learn and communicate. I regularly take my pups to dog classes in the evenings, go on long walks during the day and study online from home I have three beautiful pets to keep your fur baby company, or I can separate them so your paw-friend has peace of mind and personal space. If you prefer to keep your sweet little one in the crate, we will make it a calm, relaxing experience with a yummy food puzzle and classical music in the background. When pet sitting at your place, I can follow your instructions and guidance to make sure the little paws have everything they need. I enjoy spending time teaching dogs good manners and new skills. We practice obedience training with my pups every day, and my cat just started learning new tricks too. If you like, I can create an individual training plan for your pet during their stay, or you can let me know what to work on, and I'll make sure your pup is receiving the training. Any training is welcome, from puppy training to obedience to learning new skills. Change is stressful and scary, so I will make sure your fur baby has enough attention, physical exercise and mental stimulation. I have plenty of interactive toys for busy-minded pups, as well as lots of ideas for healthy, long-lasting snacks, such as food puzzles, KONG toys, lick mats, and sniffle games. And I'm always open to trying new activities if our furry friend has a favourite toy or game

“Wow! Incredible! I hesitate to leave an awesome review because she was so unlike any other sitter and I want her all for my dog. Hatsuki is on another level. I went to do an introductory meet and greet. Her house was immaculate, very clean and organized. Hatsuki had printed (let me say it again, she printed a sheet!) a profile of clutch so she can make notes about his needs. Again this was just a meet and greet, she also made a thumb drive with a tag that had clutch’s name. This was so she can give me all the pictures she would take including the ones she would send me as updates throughout the day. Thank you Hatsuki you were amazing!”

About: I’ve always been exceptionally empathetic towards animals, and I’d like your pets to feel as if they’re on vacation when they’re with me. When I first started rover, an owner saw how well I cared for their dogs, and they became like my second family during college. I still visit after moving away. My family dog is a husky, so I can take on big energetic dogs, and my first dog ever was a Yorkshire terrier with medical problems, so I know how to administer medication if needed (I have a background in the medical field as well). You can have a stress free day knowing your animals are safe and well cared for with me. I will be with your pet the entire stay, so you don’t ever have to worry about them being left alone for long periods of time. I live in a townhouse, so I have two levels, making it larger than your average apartment. I also have a back yard with a lead allowing your dog to run around without being hand held on a leash for every potty break. I also enjoy to walk the dogs around the complex, as they get “new information” and excitement from smelling new experiences around them.

“I boarded my 13 week French Bulldog for a week with Angela. Leaving him was hard but Angela and her sweet children and so good with the dog! She is super flexible and always kept me up to date. Great service and great sitter!”

“Aubrey really helped us out with last minute daycare after a death in our family. Our dog Maggie got along well with her two terriers. She updated me with pictures and texts through out the day. Thank you Aubrey!”

About: Dogs have been central to my life since childhood! I have taken care of my own dogs and others for over 20 years. I am very gentle and loving with all animals - dogs are my babies!! I am a self employed flower farmer, which gives me flexibility for most care needs. I have two dogs and three cats myself, so I understand how much time goes into appropriate pet care. I have a beautiful farm tucked back away from any roads or other homes. Dogs do very well with this much space to frolic. I have two sweet dogs, one very high energy that loves to play and one senior dog who loves to play by herself. I also have three cats who are indoor/outdoor and very well trained around dogs who have little to no cat experience. The pets and I are outside all the time! My home has a sunroom that is great for keeping dogs separate from others if that is needed.

“I was coming to a Dayton Ohio for work and I was bringing my mini golden doodle pup along. I needed someone trustworthy to watch my baby boy, Arlo. I came across Katherine’s profile and immediately had that instinct that she was the one 😊 she was accommodating to my over protective mommy needs and agreed to hop on a zoom call with me beforehand. She was warm, nice and kind. It also helped she has 3 adorable little fur baby girls too. For the 4 days I was here for work she would take care of Arlo for me all day. She was extremely responsive and would send me pictures and videos all day without me even having to ask. She has a nice big fenced in backyard that Arlo loved running around freely in all day. Each evening I would pick him up he was exhausted from having fun playing all day. (His besty was her dog, Vanilla) 😊 I cannot recommend Katherine enough. She made my experience great and worry free. Thank you so much for taking great care of Arlo.”

“Ezgi was so wonderful! We traveled from WI to Ohio and Ezgi watched our pup for the day so we could attend a family retirement ceremony. She snuggled with Ozzie and made him comfortable while we were away.”

About: I’ve been in love with pets since I can remember. I used to have pets most of my life and really enjoy their company. I have experience on how to train them to potty I’m currently a Stay at home mom, and work from home which allows me to spend plenty of time with your pets. I’m available Mondays through Friday from 6:00 am to 5:00 pm. As well if you want your fur friend to spend the night with us I have a big backyard and big yard area for walks and play. I can also provide comfortable bed for your pet, as well as toys and pads if they need to go potty inside.

About: I have spent a lifetime caring for my own pets as well as rescuing animals. I think pets are an extremely important part of my livelihood and good mental health so I understand that your pet is an integral part of your family as well. I also understand that I am a guest in your pets home and will treat your home with the utmost respect and privacy. I am a mom, a wife and an Air Force veteran and I understand that schedules change due to work, family needs, and sickness. Being a stay at home mom with school age children allows me to be flexible and reliable. I also received my OH-EMT Intermediate medic training at WPAFB while serving in the military. I am very comfortable administering medications and any treatments. As of 2023 I also obtained my Instructor Animal CPR and First Aide Instructor Certification. I am a full time pet care specialist/trainer. I specialize with dogs that have anxiety disorders that can show themselves as aggressive behaviors which I believe are actually unmet needs. Starting April 4, 2024 we begin construction on a fenced in yard so we can provide day training/daycare while you are at work and boarding!

About: I have cared for dogs for about 9 years now. Anywhere from my own dogs to family or friends. I have always loved dogs. I occasionally do fundraisers for local shelters to show my support. Your dog is guaranteed to be well taken care of, some may even say spoiled, at my house. I even have my own furry friend to keep them company & worn out. I currently am on leave from work until the end of June, leaving me home 24 hours a day and 7 days a week! Meaning ultimate snuggle time and plenty of hanging out with the doggos. I have unlimited water available for dogs whenever they need. My backyard has a 4-foot tall chain link fence , perfect for dogs to run around and play in as much as they want. My house is very dog friendly—dogs are allowed on the furniture and in any room they please. While I do have a 2 year old daughter at home, I am very consistent with teaching her to leave the dogs alone , even our own. Dogs should have personal space , and a break when needed. Also, your dog MUST be friendly with young children, I do take my own precautions but having a patient/friendly dog is the start.

“My fur baby was very happy to be in Molli and her fur babies company! I was able to work peacefully knowing that Ariya was in good hands . I will certainly consider her and highly recommend her. I am so thankful that Molli even picked and dropped off Ariya from my house!”
