14. Morgan C.
About: I have always been around animals growing up! My first ever job when I was 10, was caring for my family friends dog. As soon as I got off the school bus I would walk a couple miles to their home to walk, feed and play with their dog. I work a 9-6 job as an Education Support Specialist at a local Early Learning Center. I get a long lunch break and spend that time going home. I’m also in the Army National Guard but constantly keep my schedule on here updated! All of my family is local so I am home for all the holidays as well. I am a home body so I love chilling with animals at my own home. I also enjoy going on long walks to get my steps in!
15. Abigail C.
About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life. I work from home so your pets will have plenty of attention. We have a park next door, a small fenced in backyard, and couches and beds for everyone to nap on in between! I look forward to spending time with your pets and sending them home happy and healthy. I work from home M-F with plenty of flexibility for walk breaks, play breaks, etc. Between all of that they’re welcome to sit in my lap or hang out with my dog/cat! I have a small fenced in backyard and my pets are up to date on all of their vaccines, as well as spayed. I have plenty of experience with wild puppies, Great Danes that don’t know their own size, and shelter dogs that need a little bit of distance and patience.
16. Kathy & Brad L.
“Kathy and her husband were absolutely amazing - they took my pup for daycare last minute and she had the BEST time with them, their adorable dogs, and daughters! I 100% recommend booking with them!!”
17. Loree & Jeff S.
“We have known Loree for 15 plus years. Loree is a very caring, trusting and loving dog lover. Loree takes care of our dog whenever we are out of town. She provides a caring and nurturing environment for our fur baby. She does not use cages. Our baby is always taken care of by daily walks and she has a fenced in back yard. I would highly recommend Loree to anyone looking for care for their fur baby. Always peace of mind when she is in Loree’s care!”
18. Katherine L.
“I was coming to a Dayton Ohio for work and I was bringing my mini golden doodle pup along. I needed someone trustworthy to watch my baby boy, Arlo. I came across Katherine’s profile and immediately had that instinct that she was the one 😊 she was accommodating to my over protective mommy needs and agreed to hop on a zoom call with me beforehand. She was warm, nice and kind. It also helped she has 3 adorable little fur baby girls too. For the 4 days I was here for work she would take care of Arlo for me all day. She was extremely responsive and would send me pictures and videos all day without me even having to ask. She has a nice big fenced in backyard that Arlo loved running around freely in all day. Each evening I would pick him up he was exhausted from having fun playing all day. (His besty was her dog, Vanilla) 😊 I cannot recommend Katherine enough. She made my experience great and worry free. Thank you so much for taking great care of Arlo.”
19. Alana R.
“Alana is AMAZING!! She has been very responsive and flexible with my schedule changes. By the second day my pups stayed with her, they were running right to her which showed me they were comfortable and happy there :) She is very compassionate and sent updates throughout the day on how my pups were doing. I am very grateful for her help and would definitely recommend her!!!”
