Please feel free to get to know me <3 I currently work part-time hours so I would have plenty of time to care for your animals and I also have a pet friendly neighborhood so your pet will always go to a dog park just to have some fun time and lots of walking.

“we just met Brooke a few weeks ago - but already my Molly loves her! she has made it out for walks even through these snow storms - i am so grateful to find someone to help me with keeping Molly active since i can't do it anymore”
About: Hi! My name is Anna, and I’m so excited to be your go-to sitter or walker for your beloved furry family members. As a lifelong animal lover, I know just how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your pets. Whether it’s keeping your pup active with fun walks, providing lots of love and snuggles, or making sure mealtime is handled with care, I’m here to give your pet the attention they deserve. Although I’m new to Rover, I bring a strong passion for pets and experience caring for animals of all shapes and sizes, from energetic puppies to mellow senior dogs. I’m also comfortable handling cats. I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and attentive to your pet’s unique needs. My goal is to make sure your pet is happy, safe, and stress-free while you’re away! What I Offer: Daily walks, tailored to your pet’s energy level and routine. Drop-in visits for feeding, playtime, and care. Overnight sitting for ultimate peace of mind. Custom care based on your pet’s preferences or special requirements. Why Choose Me? I understand how much your pet means to you, and I’m dedicated to treating them like my own. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages during every visit so you always know how your pet is doing. Rest assured, they’ll be in loving, capable hands! A Little About Me: I’m based in Dayton, Oakwood, and Kettering and love exploring local parks and trails with four-legged friends. When I’m not spending time with pets, you can find me enjoying nature, or reading. Let’s chat and see how I can help make your life a little easier while giving your pet the love and care they deserve. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family! I don’t have a set schedule, which means I can be super flexible to meet your needs! Whether it’s early morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening care, I’m happy to work with your schedule and mine to create a plan that works best for you and your pet. Just let me know what you need, and we’ll figure out the perfect arrangement to keep your furry friend happy and cared for! 🐾 Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. Rest assured, your furry friend won’t be visiting my home – all care will take place in your home or a location you approve in advance. Whether it’s a walk in the neighborhood, a visit to a local park, or any other outing, I’ll always ensure you’re fully informed and comfortable with the plan. I prioritize open communication, so you’ll always know where your pet is and how they’re doing. With me, your pet is in trusted, loving hands every step of the way! 🐕🐾
About: In our family we love animals of all shapes and sizes! We have two dogs, a leopard gecko and a corn snake. I’ve had pets my whole life and have had to care for several elderly and sick pets so I have lots of experience in their care. My homeschooled kiddo and I decided to start a pet care biz and turn our love of animals into a way to earn some money for our family! I homeschool my kiddo so pet care is a daily part of our routine. We rarely leave home for more than a few hours a day. We try to make sure our pups get to go out often, at least every 2 hours but no longer than 6hrs, they’re fed 2x per day and water refilled daily. We would do the same for your pets or care for them however your pet needs require.
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 every week day while my kids are in school, and some weekend availability. 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 have cared for many dogs over the last 15 years. I am able to care for puppies to senior dogs and have experience giving medications, if needed. I am home all day and looking to fill the void of missing my pup who passed recently. I am able to care for your dog hands-on and will give lots of love and interaction. I have a completely fenced yard that your dog will have unlimited access to. I also provide at least one long walk every day, if your pup likes to get out and enjoy nature.
About: I've always loved animals, ever since my childhood. I have experience with both dogs and cats. My experience with cats even includes giving medicine, which can be a challenging task for most. I have extremely open availability to care for pets, as I am currently between jobs. I've decided to take some time away from my corporate path and enjoy simpler things that bring me joy. Animals are one of those things! I pay careful attention to every animal in order to notice their unique needs. All pets have different personalities and I make sure to interact with each pet in a way that works best for them.
About: I grew up in a house always filled with the tippy taps of paws on the hardwood floor. Back in Texas, my goofy golden doodle Ozzy is staying with my family while I study musical theatre at Wright State. I have experience house sitting my friends dogs, stopping by and giving them love throughout the day and getting them to eat their breakfast-even when they want to be stubborn because their mom isn’t home. I’d love to stop by and give your pet some love! I provide house sitting, drop in, and walking services. I am available M-F before 6pm and all day on the weekends! I am enrolled in an online college course this summer and will adapt my class work around bookings. When house sitting I can stop by 2-3 times per day to feed, play with, love on, walk, and make sure your pet has everything they need. Services are catered to each pet, if you have pet who would rather sleep than play, I’ll still stay a while to give them company. If desired I’ll snap a pic of your adorable pet and send it to you before I lock up and return later in the day.
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!
About: I’ve taken care of every kind of animal you can since I was little. I worked at a kennel for two years and during my time there I trained(including my own service dog!), walked dogs, played with all sorts of animals, bathed and grooms all breeds of dogs. My favorite breeds are the large dogs! I hope to meet you & your furbaby soon! I work full time night shift sunday-wednesday so morning and night time walks are always perfect. During my off days I would be available 24/7. I don’t offer in-home services so it would depend on the client but on walks and outdoor playing I would make sure that all harness/leash/collars are on correctly and that all gates are locked/shut properly.

“Gianna is more than a pet-caregiver. She is a second mom to your pets. Fido feeling sad, extra snuggles needed for Sweetie? Gianna can tell and shares her time and love. Excellent reports are an added bonus. I never have to worry when she stays in my house because she cares for my home like it is hers. All in all, she will quickly become the go-to for you and for your pet!”
11. Sara O.
“Sara is a very warm and loving pet caregiver and animals naturally gravitate toward her whether at home, visiting friends or out in nature. Sara has experience with older animals of the traditional type as well as more unique pets such as rabbits, guinea pigs and hens which has created a well rounded experienced care giver.”
12. 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!”
13. Amanda H.
“My dog was treated like a queen and didn't want to come home! She was walked daily and given an abundance of attention. I received updates and pictures, which made me feel at ease.”
14. Autumn P.
“Autumn was an exceptionally devoted and attentive caregiver to your two cats, going above and beyond to ensure their well-being, comfort, and happiness every single day. From the moment she took on the responsibility, she treated them with the same love and care as if they were her own, always making sure they had fresh food and water, clean litter boxes, and plenty of playtime. She paid close attention to their individual personalities and needs—whether that meant giving extra cuddles to the more affectionate one or patiently engaging the more reserved cat with gentle toys and quiet companionship. Her ability to notice subtle changes in their behavior or health showed a deep understanding of animal care, and she never hesitated to communicate updates or concerns with you, ensuring peace of mind even when you were away. Autumn’s genuine affection for your cats was clear in everything she did, from keeping their routine consistent to offering them comfort during stressful times like vet visits or thunderstorms. Her presence became a source of stability and joy for them, and it’s clear that her care made a lasting, positive impact on their lives.”

16. Jadyn D.
“Jadyn really makes an effort at giving owners everything that they'd want and she has a heart for pets because she loves her own dog so much. She would be perfect at taking care of other people's beloved pets and she is very trustworthy when it comes to dealing with other people's property. I personally know she has spent a lot of time house-sitting and baby-sitting and that has made her a very sought after employee in those realms. She will make sure to not cut corners and give your pets all the love they need and more!”
