“Emma was so great with Piper. She consistently checked in with us and sent pictures of our girl. Piper seemed very happy when we got home and we couldn’t have asked for a better person to leave our girl with.”

“Leesa was a perfect choice to take care of Roxie while I was out of town. Sent pictures where Roxie and Leesa were both happy. Leesa coming to my place works best for Roxie’s anxiety because she’s in her home. Leesa kept everything clean and tidy too. I will definitely request Leesa’s service’s again. Thank you Leesa for being a great match for Roxie.”

“I have never left on vacation without feeling complete angst about leaving my dogs behind. They usually spend the entire week hiding under the bed when we hire house sitters. But with Monroe, they seemed to not even realize I was gone! When I returned it was just like I came home from work that day - they were relaxed and happy to see me then went on about their day. I can't say enough good things.”

“Casey took wonderful care of our furry ones; especially our dog, Crowley! We will certainly request their assistance again and recommend whenever we can!”

“Tatum is a wonderful house & cat sitter! She’s a great communicator, and was really good about providing me regular updates and picture of my cat, Davinci, while I was traveling for work. She took really good care of my house and was very clean and respectful. Highly recommend!”

“Janice stayed at our house for a weekend taking care of our 16 year old miniature poodle Toby. She was very attentive to his needs and kept us abreast of any changes. She sent us pictures of Toby throughout the weekend. We would definitely recommend Janice to other pet owners and hope to use her again in the future.”

“This was our first time using Rover. Susan was nothing short of amazing! She took care of our dogs as if they were her own. She also did other things like grab the mail, pull in trash cans and scoop the poop. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to take care of our fur babies!”

“Tyler was amazing! The pups didn’t seem to miss us at all. She was attentive and provided photos frequently without any prompt. Will definitely be using her again for our pups.”

About: I’ve had a few dogs over the years. I love me a senior pupper. I haven’t met a dog that doesn’t like me. Ready to meet and play with all the goodest doggos. I’m currently working part-time where I pick up shifts when people are needed so it is not consistent. Filling in the gaps with pet care is flexible and fun, of course. I will care for your pet(s) as requested and make sure they are safe and comfortable. I will also respect your home and property and will communicate with updates.
“Kaiden did great with our Roxie (Boxer Tween) She is very selective and warmed upto him very fast. He stayed in our home and did a good job caring for that too. We have winter travels approaching and our looking forward to Kaiden's services again. Knowing our pup and home our in good hands with him will bring us peace of mind..... again. We highly recommend booking Kaiden!”

“Isabella did a great job with our two dogs overnight while we were at our wedding. They’re a handful sometimes and she found time to leave a handwritten note and treats behind. We look forward to booking her again.”
About: I love dogs! I take them on walks, day trips, and I do week-long stays. I’ve cared for multiple dogs at once, including a variety of breeds and ages. I have a little special talent of teaching dogs new tricks! Growing up I have always been told I have a genuine bond for all dogs. Whether it’s a fun walk or a relaxing day, I ensure they’re happy and well cared for. As a college student home for the summer, I have plenty of time on my hands to care for your pets! I love spending time with animals and can easily fit pet care into my daily and weekly routine. I'm available for walks, drop-in visits, and house stays ranging from a couple of nights to even a full week. While there are a few weeks I’ll be out of town, I’m happy to work around those dates and be as flexible as possible to meet your needs! When I care for a client’s pets in their home, I treat them with the same love and attention I would as if they were mine. I follow their daily routine closely, including their feeding, walks, play time, or just sitting with them so they feel safe and comforted. I understand that being away from their family can be stressful, so I do my best to make them feel calm, happy, and loved. I also take care of the home with respect and keep everything clean and in order. I truly enjoy bonding with each pet and always keep the owners updated with cute photos and videos, so they know their pets are in good hands.
“Dove was absolutely wonderful! She took the best overnight weekend care of our pup and sent us lots of updates. She was thorough and kind. Will definitely be booking again. Highly recommend”

“Isabella did fantastic with our two dogs. Our oldest is usually fairly easy but our puppy is still a handful and she did a wonderful job. We got walk and picture updates regularly and she had excellent communication throughout the situation. Thanks so much!”

“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 have several years of experience caring for pets, and I currently live with my own cat, Hamza. He is a friendly, calm, and well-behaved indoor cat who is used to being around other animals. I grew up caring for both dogs and cats, so I understand how important it is to provide consistency, love, and proper daily routines. I’m reliable, patient, and always treat every animal as if they are part of my family. Friends and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, and play with their pets. Whether it’s house sitting, drop-in visits, or dog walking, I make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and well-cared for. Hey My name is Berke. I’m 27 years old, and I currently live in Old North Dayton. My schedule is very flexible because I work from home and manage my own time. This allows me to be available throughout the day for pet care, walks, feedings, playtime, and check-ins. I enjoy spending my free time around animals, so pet care naturally fits into my daily routine I always prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment when caring for pets. Whether I am in my home or at a client’s home, I make sure the space is clean, secure, and comfortable. I stay attentive to each pet’s needs, follow the owner’s instructions carefully, and maintain open communication. Pets in my care are treated with patience, love, and respect just like family.
“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.”

Janice stayed at our house for a weekend taking care of our 16 year old miniature poodle Toby. She was very attentive to his needs and kept us abreast of any changes. She sent us pictures of Toby throughout the weekend. We would definitely recommend Janice to other pet owners and hope to use her again in the future.

Danielle was a FANTASTIC dog sitter. She took wonderful care of our puppy while we were gone. She followed all instructions and went above and beyond by being available for an extra day at the last minute and also by administering ear infection medication for our dog. She was very good about giving us updates and our house somehow looked better after she had stayed here. We plan to use her again for future dog sitting needs and walks. So happy to have found such a wonderful person to watch our pets. Thanks again, Danielle!

Marin was the BEST!! We are very picky about our sweet Nelly. Marin not only took fantastic care of Nelly, but stayed at our house for the time we were gone. We 100% trust Marin and she did a fantastic job. We knew when we met her that she has that "trust factor". My husband, being a retired police officer is super picky about not only someone watching our sweet dog, but letting someone stay in our home. We had NO worries with Marin!!! She is awesome!!! We will be counting on her on all future trips we have.

Molly was great with Jersey! This is my first time using this app and I was worried about leaving Jersey behind. Molly did a great job communicating and sending pictures and updates. I felt at ease and was able to enjoy my time away. I will use Molly for any future needs!! Thanks again :)
