“Bradley did a couple visits with brief walks with my dog Freckles. He did a meet and greet with Freckles and I before hand which was very helpful. He was professional, used the app to send pictures, and was very prompt with responses! I would highly recommend Bradley to anyone, and am happy to know I have someone I trust for any future needs for Freckles!”

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 grew up around dogs, caring for all breeds and sizes. I am experienced in puppy care, senior dogs, and providing loving attention to every furry friend. With a flexible job and my law studies, I have plenty of free time to offer personalized care for your pet. I can easily adjust my schedule to provide walks, playtime, and attention whenever needed. I provide a safe, familiar environment by following your pet’s routine, ensuring their comfort and well-being. I’m careful with home safety and always keep you updated.


About: With over 11 years of experience fostering dogs and volunteering at local shelters, I’ve cared for pets of all breeds, ages, and temperaments. My background has given me a deep understanding of dog behavior, and I’m comfortable with everything from high-energy puppies to senior dogs who need a slower pace and a little extra TLC. I also have hands-on experience caring for pets with special needs, including administering medications and providing mobility support. Whether it’s a walk, drop-in visit, or overnight stay, I approach every pet with patience, compassion, and reliable care you can count on. I’m currently freelancing, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to focus on pet care. Whether it’s a walk, drop-in, or overnight stay, I can easily adjust my day to fit your pet’s needs. When caring for pets in your home or on a walk, I customize my care to each dog’s needs. I’m patient and focused on ensuring your pup feels safe, happy, and comfortable at all times.

About: Hi! My name is Emma. I’m 31 years old. I have had a passion for animals my entire life. Recently, my 15 year old puppy, Rufus, passed away unexpectedly. I miss being a dog mom and helping take care of your animals will help fill that void. I treat every animal as my own, big or small. I have many many years of taking care of different types of breeds. I offer a few different services including overnight stays, drop in visits or the occasional walk/let out. Whatever you may need, don’t hesitate to reach out! I currently work for myself doing instacart. I’m out and about all day. I have all the time in the world to come take care of your babies! Every animal will be taken care of to the fullest. I will follow any instructions given to me for said animals. I will always make sure to keep an eye on the animal(s) when outside.

“Autumn was such a huge help while I was working. She made sure Koda went on good walks and spent the time to come meet us before we started walking! She is on time and great with animals”


About: I have had pets all my life. Cats, dogs, hamsters, and fish. My current cats are 12 years old, and one requires meds daily. I also assist my family members with their dogs. One of the dogs was a rescue from a very abusive situation so she does well with me. I currently work full time, but my schedule varies from week to week. Before I go to work, I take care of one of my family members dog so I can make things work. I have a fenced in back yard. Privacy fence on 2 sides. I have a cat that requires a pill daily so I use pill pockets to give the pill. I feed and let my relatives dog out 5 days a week before work.

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.

“Dorothy was great! Very friendly and good with Luna. She sent pictures during each walk so I could see my pup was getting attention! I would definitely book her again!”

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was young. I currently have 4 furbabies with my partner. I have 4 years of fostering experience as well. From walks, to baths, to deep cleaning the liter box and poop scooping duties I don’t mind doing it all! Pet care is my full time job! My availability is very flexible to best meet your pets needs. Also willing to commute for multiple night stays/house sitting. Do not currently offer! All other services I can still provide, thanks for understanding! Please reach out if you have any questions!

About: I grew up on a farm caring for all kinds of animals, which taught me responsibility, patience, and instinct. I provide dependable, attentive care tailored to your pet’s unique needs. I work a very flexible job that allows me to work from home when needed to take care of your pets during the day. I am free almost every evening and weekend. When caring for pets in their home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I follow all feeding, walking, and medication instructions exactly as given, and I take time to bond with each pet through play, attention, and calm companionship. I keep the home tidy, respect the space, and provide regular updates so owners feel at ease while they’re away. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their own environment.

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!

“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”
