“After a last-minute work schedule change, I desperately needed someone to watch our puppy for the day. Thankfully, Arlissa was super fast in her response (even though it was 7 AM) and was able to watch Lyra. Clearly Lyra enjoyed it because she slept the entire ride home! Arlissa also took some beautiful pics which is a miracle considering how Lyra rarely stays still!”


“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!”


“Sierra is great! Super flexible with changes when things come up and my dog Linus seemed to have a great time with her pets. She sent updates through out the day and pics which was nice.”


“My shy pup had such an amazing time at Abigail's! He's always so eager to come home and see me arrive, but when I came to pick him up from Abgails, he wasn't ready to leave! He even made 2 dog friends; which is very impressive for him on day one of meeting everyone. I can't recommend Abigail enough! We will be returning :)”


“Rebecca is the sweetest and most flexible person but most importantly, my dogs love her and her dogs! I love the photos and video updates that I receive throughout the day. My pups have come home so tired and happy after daycare, sometimes they don’t want to leave. Would highly recommend her, can’t wait to take them back!”


“Kathy and her husband were absolutely amazing - they took my pup for daycare last minute and she had the BEST time with them, their adorable dogs, and daughters! I 100% recommend booking with them!!”


“He is the best dog sitter I have used. Tom is extremely accommodating with my work schedule and kind to pickle. Pickles looks forward everyday to going over and hanging out with Tom that says a lot since pickle was a abused puppy he does not take kindly to strangers but loves Tom. Highly recommend Tom and his services.”


“Andre is very convenient and accommodating. He was able to take our dog at what was practically last minute and did a fantastic job. He sent updates to us almost on the hour every hour via photos and videos. He was a very pleasant personality and I will definitely be using his services again. He’s also one of a kind in the Beavercreek area.”


“Loree and Jeff were great with my German Shepard! I cannot say enough good things about this couple. My boy received plenty of exercise (playing ball and walking) which he needs every day. He came home tired every day which to me is a sign of an awesome day for my boy. He also received snuggles and love as well. Communication was excellent via text and several photos were provided every day. Five star rating--that's for sure.”


About: I am a grandmother of 5 grandkids and a mother of 2 daughters. I grew up with large dogs and kitties. It is very natural for me to be with dogs, cats, and bunnies. I only take 1 household pets per day. Because even they are used to be at a sitter’s, they are usually feeling lonely being away from family. They deserve to get full attentions from a bonus auntie/grandmamma which I am willing to give :) Also, meet and greet is required prior to booking. I am sorry for your inconveniences. I take furbabies sitting very seriously. Please understand it is much needed process for your loved furbabies. Boarding includes feedings/caring, 30 minutes walks (2/a day) and keeping record/tracks of daily activities. My availability can be filled up pretty quick especially high season. If you have possibility for needing a sitter in near future, please let me know as soon as you find out. So they will be scheduled to book promptly. And even if I marked as unavailable the dates you want to board, please ask me for availability. I might be able to manage due to cancellation etc. I'd like to make sure to be flexible to suit your need. Because your babies deserve it. Thank you :) I am a retired woman. But I am very energetic. I still work out everyday. I would like to devote my time and energy on caring bonus furbabies :) I can be very flexible to suit your needs. Please don't hesitate to contact me. I am very happy to assist you and your babies. I have fully fenced privacy yard. And if your babies prefer quiet environment, I will set up home away home in our fully furnished basement for your babies :)


“I was very happy with how things went; was in the Dayton area to check out a business possibility and wasn't sure how long I might need daycare for. Carol & Jessica were very flexible, and I was comfortable leaving my pup Maggie with them on a Saturday morning. Highly recommend!”


“Highly recommend Daphne. It was the first time leaving our puppy and Daphne and her family were great and so welcoming from the meet and greet to final pick up. Daphne sent pics and videos throughout the day and our puppy was clearly happy and being well cared for. All aspects of our experience 5 stars!!”


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.

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.

“Jillian was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond to take care of our puppy and gave her so much love and attention. She sent us pics and videos throughout the day and even got her to go potty outside for the first time!”


About: 🐾I've been a pet lover since I was a kid. Growing up, our home was filled with all kinds of animals—dogs, cats, hamsters, and more. I always thought I’d become a vet someday, and that deep love for animals has never left. 🐾One of my most meaningful experiences was raising my dog from a bottle-fed puppy to her very last breath as a senior. I personally trained her, cared for her through all life stages, and learned so much about what animals need at every age. That kind of hands-on care and long-term bond is something I carry with every pet I look after. 🐾Whether it’s young pets that need play and structure or seniors who need patience and comfort, I show up with warmth, attention, and respect. 🐾If you are seeking boarding of any animal, other than a dog or cat, book the animal(s) as "cat". Then, message me with the animal(s) details and I will adjust your booking rates accordingly. 🐾I will offer extended stay and multi-pet discounts. I can modify the booking rate to reflect those offers. 🐾Boarding for: cats, rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, rats, mice, birds, fish, most reptiles, amphibians. Don't see your animal listed? Message me 🐾We do have a specific outdoor area for bunnies and other small creatures to play in a few times a day. The outdoor area is sprinkled with microgreens for fresh critter nibbles. 🐾Family-based care for pets BEYOND dogs Our family does life at home, so I'm around throughout the day and week. That makes pet care a natural part of my routine. Your pet won’t be left alone for long stretches, and you can count on consistency and attention. I offer pet care in our home only, meaning that I don't currently offer pet care at your house. We have a fully fenced yard for outside time, and a calm, clean space inside. I'm happy to care for cats (indoor or outdoor), other small animals like rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, fish, birds, amphibians and most reptiles. I am selective on offering dog boarding care and doggie day care services in our home. If you have an exceptional dog that is well-mannered, potty trained, and doesn't smell or shed much I can be persuaded to offer you dog boarding/dog daycare. I treat your pet like my own, and my goal is to make them feel safe and comfortable while you're away.

About: Hi! Meet us, Rebecca and Ethan 😁 We love pets! Ethan grew up with several dogs, ranging from puppies to older dogs. Our family loved an Aussie of our own for several years. Unfortunately she passed on a few years ago. We aren’t ready to have another dog yet, so we truly love taking care of our friends and family’s dogs! Rebecca is a stay at home mom with complete flexibility in her schedule. Ethan works from home and loves taking pups for walks and even on his daily runs if the dog is up for it! We live in a very safe neighborhood that is great for walking dogs! We have a fenced in back yard, and room in our home for your dog! We have a cat who honestly stays clear of dogs when we have them staying with us. We have three kids who love having dog friends come to our house!

About: I have owned a Goldendoodle for 6 years and adore him and everything to do with dogs. I love caring for dogs by playing and spending quality time with them. I think every dog only needs some playful attention and plenty of cuddles to keep them happy. I am currently working part-time, so will have plenty of time to play with your pups! I have a very flexible schedule that can be adjusted when needed. Taking care of pets is one of my favorite hobbies! :) I have a large fenced-in yard for your pet to run around in, as well as one dog to keep them company! I am very well equipped to take a dog for a walk, and care for your pet in your home such as feeding and keeping them company!

Sara L.
“Sara is a wonderful pet owner & has the biggest heart for dogs! As a child, she would walk the neighborhood dogs, free of charge, just so she could spend some time with dogs even though she couldn’t get one of her own. This brief story encapsulates the longtime love and care Sara puts towards pets, dogs especially. She will love and bond with any pup that comes her way!”


Ella W.

Her home is spotless—no pet smells, no clutter, just a peaceful, clean space. Even our shyest cat came out to play thanks to Tara’s gentle nature. Tara was attentive and clearly experienced. Her rates are worth every penny for the peace of mind she provides. We’ll be using her again without question.”


Rebecca & Ethan K.Star Sitter
“Rebecca has cared for our Golden, Cameo, three or four times. We know Cameo is getting lots of attention and pets in a safe environment. She might even get more exercise while we’re away! She is always happy to be dropped off with Rebecca and feels at home there. Cameo is a senior pet and her food times and amounts are specific. I don’t worry that she will be over fed while there.”


Nora S.
“There are very few people in the world who love dogs as much as Nora. She has always been incredibly loving toward our own dog and I have no doubts that she will show equal levels of care to any dog she is entrusted with. Dogs provide immense value and joy to Nora and she will provide the same value and joy to the dogs she cares for.”
