“Haley was great with our very old cat. The cat is spicy to strangers and needs pills so she’s not the easiest customer but Haley handled well and was very communicative every day. Would definitely rebook!”
“Yolena was incredibly helpful and left robust notes at the end of her visit that left me feeling sure that my baby was well-taken care of. She communicated well and even helped with mail without being asked. Would highly recommend Yolena to any pet parent!”
“We booked Leesa last minute to check in on our dogs so that we could go away for an overnight trip. We haven’t used a sitter outside of our family in a long time, but we’re happy to say that our boys have a new friend! We will definitely be booking Leesa for future trips!”
“Abby is one of a kind! Our usual sitter was unavailable due to the holiday and we had to find someone last minute (I may have procrastinated a bit). Abby was more than willing to do so and was amazing at it! On time, great care of all pets and even filled out humidifier when it was running low! We will definitely recommend and be using Abby again!”
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.
“Sierra was wonderful with our dog! She left detailed reports and sent lots of pictures for her drop in visits. She was very reliable and our dog really seemed to love her visits!”
“This was my first time using Rover for my 2 dogs and Keira was Great! From my first request to the time she completed the drop in visits she was very professional. She was prompt with responding to me and extremely polite. I appreciated all the communication with updates and pictures. I will definitely ask Keira to help us again in the future.”
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 have experiences with different breeds of dogs from Lhasa Apso to Great Danes! I’ve been trusted to watch and feed dogs for my neighbors, family friends, etc. for over 5 years and I’ve never met a dog I didn’t absolutely adore. I’m currently a student at the University of Dayton and am looking to earn some money to pay for my classes. I’m free every weekday after 12 pm, but want something more flexible than set hours as I still have to study for tests, do homework, etc. As I’m staying in University housing, I’m solely doing visits to client’s homes. I am a detail oriented person and will gain the trust of your pet before anything to ensure that they are comfortable with me being around. I will follow any directions given to me and will be transparent with any questions/concerns I may have about your pet.
“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.”
