“Macy took excellent care of our dog Snoopy and our 3 parakeets. Snoopy especially liked his walks with Macy. Thank you Macy for sending pictures while we were away.”


“Liesa is professional and trustworthy. She took care of our dogs when we were out of town. She sent lots of pictures and was respectful to our home. We will 100% hire Liesa again.”


“Joanna has been an amazing addition to our lil family knowing we can leave and our babies will be taken care of just as we would treat them. It’s been nice while on vacation not worrying about our babies.”

About: Hi! I’m Isabella. I am 21 years old and a University of Dayton student studying law. On top of that, I am a lifelong dog lover and experienced handler. I grew up in a house with five dogs and have been surrounded by animals ever since. Most recently, I worked as a dog handler at Flyer’s Paw Zone, where I managed group dog behavior in a busy daycare setting. I’m trained in reading canine body language, quickly de-escalating conflicts, and recognizing signs of stress. I also regularly walked dogs of all sizes and energy levels during my time at Flyer’s Paw Zone. Whether you need a regular dog walker, or someone to pop in while you’re away, I will be there. As a college student, I have flexible availability and can easily adapt to your dogs specific needs/schedule. I am also available to do overnight dog sitting. I currently have a very flexible availability due to being in undergrad. Please contact me and we can set something up that works for the both of us. At the moment, I own two cats. My three dogs are at home with my mom. I regularly walk and take care of all three of them when I go visit my mom.

“Alannah did an excellent job. She was professional and help took great care of my dog! I would highly recommend!”


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.

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.

“I Highly recommend Abbi, she is very kind and understanding! I know she took good care of my kitties and they both loved her. Even the one who usually doesn’t come put for people let her hold him and cuddle.”


“This was the second time that I had Ashley come and take care of my cat Harley. Ashley been super professional, shown up when requested and communicated his status and photos to us. He is extremely shy and timid of other people. To our surprise, Harley is so comfortable with her that he even gave her a head rub and let her pet him this second time which is truly astonishing since he is afraid of EVERYONE!!! Ashley has been great!”



“Kelly is our go-to pet sitter for our crew of resident dogs, foster dogs, and even our cat! She is experienced with dogs and cats alike and goes above and beyond to make sure they’re well cared for. I love that our dogs have a consistent routine and can stay home when I travel, but that I don’t have to worry about whether they’re being well taken care of. We have a dog that takes twice daily medication and Kelly gave every dose with no issue. Kelly always does an amazing job with both easy dogs and higher maintenance ones. She is also extremely flexible and go-with-the-flow. Our flight got delayed and she was happy to go over for a last-minute additional visit to keep our pets well and happy until our return! I would recommend Kelly without a single reservation.”


About: With ten years of pet care experience, 1 specialize in puppy and senior dog care, including my golden retriever raised since three months and friends' dogs over ten years. I ensure precise feeding, regular walks, and grooming appointments. Working from home, I have ample time for my dog and others, with full weekend availability. I live in a two-bedroom apartment, comfortably managing two to three dogs, with space to separate as needed. In our two-bedroom apartment, I will ensure pets' safety with a patio leading to an open yard for quick potty breaks. Our large community offers ample space for long walks. The home is puppy-proofed, with no hazards, and we can manage two to three dogs comfortably, separating them if needed. In clients' homes, I follow their routines for feeding, walks, and care, keeping safety first.

About: When my husband and I first started talking to each other it was to set up puppy play dates with our dogs and the rest is history! We both have had dogs since we were kids. Our family and friends know that their dogs are always welcome at our house anytime they come over. Our two boys enjoy playing with our dogs and give the best belly rubs around! We are both teachers and work during the week from 7-4. We are available on the weekends. We are off most holidays and during the summer. We have a fully fenced in back yard. We have two friendly dogs. One that is younger and loves to run and play. One that is older and plays for a bit, but then just likes to chill for awhile. Dogs are allowed on furniture and we have dog beds they can lay on. We also have hard wood floors, so the occasional accident is no big deal.

“We knew 5 minutes after Bri walked in for a meet and greet that our dogs would be in great hands!!! Our dog, Shiloh does NOT easily warm up to anyone very quickly but with Bri, it was almost immediate and she was snuggled up against her, enjoying being petted. Our cat also really liked her too. (And she really does not like ANY strangers!!) Bri is a very kind girl and very obviously great with animals!! We were VERY happy with Bri as a pet sitter and highly recommend her.”


About: Had taken care of my own dog for 15 years. I Started Pet Sitting to fill the void of the loss of my own dog❤️🩹 I’m currently in school full time but not working, so I will be able to give your pet plenty of love and will make time to provide excellent care. I have cared for many dogs over the years. I have experience giving medications and taking care of dogs with special needs. I will provide excellent love and care for your pets!

“Wonderfully attentive and great with cats! Stephanie communicated often and let us know the disposition and wellbeing of each of our cats. 5 star cat care :)”


“Not only is Dorothy an excellent dog sitter, but she is a true animal lover! This was confirmed at our meet and greet when she rescued a parakeet that had gotten itself lost and seemed to be begging her for help! It was amazing! Happily, the parakeet has found a wonderful, forever home with Dorothy! She is great!!!”


“Karen is absolutely amazing! She is dependable, reliable, and went above and beyond what was expected of her! She took care of my babies for 10 days, sent tons of pictures to me and gave personalized feedback after each visit!”


About: I grew up around dogs and fostering dogs. When I got married my husband and I got a precious dog of our own. I have loved training him and getting to know his personality. I’m currently finishing my degree at home so I’m available at all times of the day to check on or take care of your dog! I would love to talk through what your needs are and what you’re most comfortable as I come in to take care of your dog. Every need and doggie is different!

She will make sure to not cut corners and give your pets all the love they need and more!”
