“Hatsuki is a wonderful mommy for my kitty, Vivi. She is genuinely compassionate and a caring person for the animals who cannot talk. She gave a very comfortable home for Vivi during her stay. Thank you, Hatsuki, for all you have done to me and my kitty. Vivi said she was happy to have met you, and looking forward to meeting with you again. Many thanks for your kindness. Makiko”
“Tara was wonderful!!! This was my first time using Rover and she was great. Tara communicated well and often and provided updates about my dogs. Thank you so much for taking such great care of my babies!”
“This is the first time we have ever boarded a fur baby in someone’s home. We were very nervous. Our dog has stitches and needed meds during his stay and Karin was able to accommodate his needs! She was also awesome at sending us pictures and updates. It was great seeing him having fun! We will definitely be using her again! We will even do some doggy daycare since our dogs are besties now!”
“Catherine and Adam have watched our 2 dogs a few times now, and they couldn't be nicer or easier to work with! I feel very comfortable knowing our pets are in great hands.”
“Kyri was awesome!!! She kept us updated throughout our weekend away and sent lots of pictures and videos! I appreciated her care and attention to my young, clingy, and playful dogs!”
“Our dog had a wonderful stay with Joe. She can be nervous to leave us, and he put her right at ease. He was great with updates, and gave her gentle care. We will definitely be using him again! Your pup will be in good hands if you book with Joe!”
“Tim & Katarzyna are a lovely couple who took excellent care of our pups! We received daily updates , including pics and videos of the boys having a blast. I highly recommend them to care for your furry loved ones !”
“Sydney and I both luv Joanne and her entire family -- definitely a dog-friendly home with a fenced back yard and lots of hands to scratch ears :-) We're already re-booked for Thanksgiving!”
“I boarded my cat Phoebe for several days with Mariah. She took excellent care of her and my cat seemed at ease with her and her home. She was responsive to my messages and sent daily photos. I would recommend Mariah for pet boarding.”
“We will definitely use Ryan again. He and his son were great with our dogs, Beefy and Otis. He was very attentive to them and kept in touch with us often. I felt that I could relax knowing that Ryan was watching our dogs.”
“Willow enjoyed her time with Amber and her family. They loved on her the entire weekend. She had so much fun that she is worn out and has been sleeping soundly since we got home. I would definitely use her again.”
“2nd time utilizing Amber and will continue to do so! I have no worries when I go out of town leaving my pup here. They spoil him rotten and send me all the pictures. They even tried a sound machine to calm him down during the storm which I thought was super sweet and took a last minute booking for me. Very grateful to have them as our sitter! Would absolutely recommend to everyone.”
“Rachel is an incredible person. She adored my dog as if it were her own. She ensured that my dog felt at ease in a new environment. I truly appreciate her efforts and highly recommend her services.”
About: I have always loved all kinds of animals and will care for your fur babies just as well as I care for my own. I grew up with a toy poodle though I would have loved to have more pets. Currently, my husband and I have two small dogs but I love dogs and cats of all sizes. I have experience with caring for older dogs as well as very young puppies. I am familiar with pad training and kennel training as well. I would love to take care of your pets and am more than willing to accommodate their needs! I stay at home full time with my 6 month old. So, my time for your pets is very flexible. I am also able to bathe and/or groom your dogs if that is a service you would like. I have a bath price set but I’m open to conversations about that and other grooming services you would like to add. I do all the grooming for my dogs including haircuts, nail clipping, and deshedding. I have two very friendly dogs, but I do have enough space/baby gates to keep my dogs separate from yours if necessary. I have a fully fenced backyard and a very walkable neighborhood. So, your dogs will have plenty of opportunities for exercise. My dogs are kennel trained and sleep with us in bed, but I will respect whatever pet rules you have in your home.
“Brandy and Brandon were amazing sitters for my boy! They are very friendly with a clean and welcoming home! I really appreciated the level of communication, frequently sending updates and photos! Dunkin had a blast and will absolutely be back!”
“Pietro was absolutely amazing!! Maple is nervous around men but she was so comfortable with him. He sent plenty of pictures and videos and even kept her a few hours longer to help me out since I broke my leg. Would definitely recommend!!”
“Lashonna is fantastic. A great meet-and-greet, very accommodating on pick up and drop off, great communication, and most importantly our dog seems very happy with the stay.”

“Catherine did a great job with our 2 kitties!! They looked happy and healthy in the daily pictures that she sent us. The 2 of them can be very skittish and not come out for strangers but it looked like they had no trouble coming out, eating and interacting with Catherine!! I enjoyed the pictures that she sent us every day since they reassured us that all was well while we were gone. I highly recommend Catherine and definitely will be using her again!”
“Sandy took great care of our cat. She kept in contact with me and sent pictures each day. She always responded on a timely manner. She even fed our hummingbirds. I highly recommend Sandy to care for your pets.”
“Valerie is absolutely wonderful and truly goes above and beyond! She not only took excellent care of Luna, but also did thoughtful extras like vacuuming the carpet — something she absolutely did not have to do and was so appreciated! Luna is extremely shy and usually hides, often making it difficult for anyone new to connect with her. Valerie was incredibly patient and gentle, giving Luna the time, attention, and calm presence she needed to feel comfortable. It honestly means so much to find someone who can build trust with her, and Valerie did exactly that. She is very responsive, reliable, and clearly genuinely cares about the pets she works with. I feel very confident recommending her and will absolutely use her again. We are so grateful to have found her!”
“Nikki is such a wonderful sitter and always leaves fun informative details and pictures. She even has taught my cat to use a toy she had but never knew what to do with it! I highly recommend Nikki, she is exceptional!”
“We loved receiving lots of pictures, videos, and details of what my kitten and Kathleen did together! It helped us feel more at ease knowing they were busy playing and hanging out! We will be rebooking for sure !”
“Miranda has been amazing! She did more than we expected and ensured both of our cats were well taken care of. She was even able to accommodate us for a last minute request when we needed! Highly recommend her and will definitely book her again next time we need a sitter!”
“Aine is super nice and attentive to the animals. She’s been sending frequent updates on her drop ins and even befriended my very reclusive cat quickly. Will definitely have Aine watch her again in the future!”
About: I work business hours, making me the perfect fit for overnight boarding, weekend care, and holiday stays. Although my yard isn't fenced, I provide regular, active exercise at the nearby park. Your pet will stay in a loving, lively home with myself and my three animal-loving kids. Book ahead for holidays!
“Suzannah was absolutely wonderful with my two cats, Davinci and Snickers! She took exceptional care of them while I was away and gave me complete peace of mind. Every day she sent thoughtful updates with great photos, which made it so much easier being away from them. She made sure they always had fresh food and water, kept the litter box spotless, and even took the extra time to prepare a special plate of kitten food for Snickers. She also went above and beyond by bringing my mail and packages inside, which I really appreciated. Communication was excellent throughout the entire stay. I always knew how the cats were doing and never had to wonder if everything was okay. I highly recommend Suzannah to anyone looking for a dependable, caring, and professional pet sitter. I'll definitely be booking with her again in the future!”
“Rayme was amazing! We needed someone short notice, and even with that, her communication was great, and she made sure to spend time and give some love to all three of our fur babies. We're booking with her for a longer trip and definitely feel great about leaving our babies in her care!”
About: I am an animal lover! I have grown up around dogs my whole life and can sense when they aren’t feeling well, timid, or hurt. I will treat your dog with respect and treat it as if it is my own! Your dog will be in the best care and will always be happy with my services. I am a very flexible person and am always open to corrections or advice!

“Catherine and Hubby are a wonderful team. They both love animals and they take such good care of my fur baby, just like she's their own. If you need care I highly recommend THEM!”
“Tim and Kasia were amazing with our Oliver! We were nervous to leave him for the first time since adopting him, he’s goes to work with us every day and he rides with us nearly everywhere but our daughters play sports and we have long weekend days away from home. They sent videos of him running around with the other dogs playing and having a blast, which was great to see because he’s a total couch potato at home. When my husband picked him up he acted like he didn’t want to leave which is out of character for Oliver because he’s usually glued to us 24/7! He loved being there and they will be our first choice whenever we need care for Oliver.”
“Tara and her family provided a wonderful, safe, and caring daycare environment for my two small dogs. She is professional, kind, and thoughtful. I scheduled her right away to board my two dogs for an upcoming weekend trip.”
“Arlissa is so great with Zoey. Every time Zoey is dropped off she gets so excited, which is so nice to see as a pet parent. Arlissa also sends photo and video of Zoey. Overall, I highly recommend.”
About: My wife and I have been taking care of our dog and foster dogs for the past 6 years. We've taken care of dogs ranging in size of French bulldogs to Siberian huskies. We have experience with high maintenance dogs and giving medications as well. My wife and I currently work from home and have plenty of time to play and take care of your pups. During the week boarding availability is best in the evening after 5 but accommodations can be made if needed. Weekends are 100% free and open. I have a larger fenced in yard and great neighborhood for plenty of walks. I can easily crate your dog if needed as well. We have plenty of different dog toys and beds throughout the house too.
About: I enjoy helping friends and family with their pets and am looking forward to meeting your four-legged besties. Our family loves animals of all kinds. I am a STAHM to two littles so I am always available to spend time with your dogs, but we do require them to be kid-friendly. We recently had two older dogs who passed away so we are happy to get our dog time in before we commit to a new family pet. Our backyard is not fenced but we enjoy taking walks around the neighborhood! I took a break from dog sitting while my two littles were babies. Now I am staying at home with them and we love taking walks so I thought we would starting taking care of dogs again! We have an open floor plan house and a big yard, our yard isn’t fenced so we do lots of walks and just spending time together outside!

About: I own and care for a 3 year-old medium goldendoodle. He is energetic and always ready to play with any dog or human around. I have 2 years of dog training experience, including basic obedience training, and basic trick training. I grew up with a Brittany, so I am very familiar with the personalities and instincts of hunting breeds as well. I stay at home with my one year old son, so I am available during the week days, and for extended stays/overnight boarding. We would love to care for your dog! I have a fenced in yard for the dogs to run. I will provide your dog’s food and any medicines or care routines on your provided schedule, to maintain your dog’s familiar routine while in a new environment. I am flexible with your dog’s preferred sleeping arrangements— I have a large crate and a medium sized crate available if your dog is a crate sleeper, but my dog is allowed on furniture, so I will provide whatever your dog prefers. Family-friendly, non-aggressive, fairly sociable dogs are preferred, no age preferences or restrictions. My toddler LOVES dogs and will certainly run up to hug or pet the dog.
“Loree and Jeff were great with my German Shepard! I cannot say enough good things about this couple. My boy received plenty of exercise (playing ball and walking) which he needs every day. He came home tired every day which to me is a sign of an awesome day for my boy. He also received snuggles and love as well. Communication was excellent via text and several photos were provided every day. Five star rating--that's for sure.”
“Wow! Incredible! I hesitate to leave an awesome review because she was so unlike any other sitter and I want her all for my dog. Hatsuki is on another level. I went to do an introductory meet and greet. Her house was immaculate, very clean and organized. Hatsuki had printed (let me say it again, she printed a sheet!) a profile of clutch so she can make notes about his needs. Again this was just a meet and greet, she also made a thumb drive with a tag that had clutch’s name. This was so she can give me all the pictures she would take including the ones she would send me as updates throughout the day. Thank you Hatsuki you were amazing!”
About: I have spent a lifetime caring for my own pets as well as rescuing animals. I think pets are an extremely important part of my livelihood and good mental health so I understand that your pet is an integral part of your family as well. I also understand that I am a guest in your pets home and will treat your home with the utmost respect and privacy. I am a mom, a wife and an Air Force veteran and I understand that schedules change due to work, family needs, and sickness. Being a stay at home mom with school age children allows me to be flexible and reliable. I also received my OH-EMT Intermediate medic training at WPAFB while serving in the military. I am very comfortable administering medications and any treatments. As of 2023 I also obtained my Instructor Animal CPR and First Aide Instructor Certification. I am a full time pet care specialist/trainer. I specialize with dogs that have anxiety disorders that can show themselves as aggressive behaviors which I believe are actually unmet needs. Starting April 4, 2024 we begin construction on a fenced in yard so we can provide day training/daycare while you are at work and boarding!
“Katherine was a lifesaver! Our flight got cancelled and we weren’t going to be able to pick up our dogs from the kennel on time because of that. Katherine was able to pick up our dogs for us, on the same day and with only a few hours’ notice, and dog sit them at her house until we made it back home. We are so thankful for her and how she helped our four-legged family!”
About: Hi! Meet us, Rebecca and Ethan 😁 We love pets! Ethan grew up with several dogs, ranging from puppies to older dogs. Our family loved an Aussie of our own for several years. Unfortunately she passed on a few years ago. We aren’t ready to have another dog yet, so we truly love taking care of our friends and family’s dogs! Rebecca is a stay at home mom with complete flexibility in her schedule. Ethan works from home and loves taking pups for walks and even on his daily runs if the dog is up for it! We live in a very safe neighborhood that is great for walking dogs! We have a fenced in back yard, and room in our home for your dog! We have a cat who honestly stays clear of dogs when we have them staying with us. We have three kids who love having dog friends come to our house!
“Kristin was amazing! We were from our of town visiting family and needed a last minute pet sitter and she was so quick to help us! Extremely accommodating and friendly! I will be recommending her to all my Ohio friends. Oh, and she gave us several pictures throughout the day of our little guy ❤️”
About: Hi, I’m Trina. I’m someone who leads with compassion — especially when it comes to animals. I’ve been helping rescue and care for them since I was 13, and I still feel just as passionate now as I did when I walked into my first shelter. Whether it’s dogs, cats, rats, or any animal in need, I’m always ready to show up. I currently volunteer with my local Humane Society and have hands-on experience with everything from fostering and bottle-feeding to behavioral support. I’ve helped scared, sick, and overlooked animals feel safe and loved again — and there’s nothing more fulfilling to me. I’ve also been vegan since I was 13 because I believe in kindness toward all animals, not just the ones we share our homes with. My approach is calm, patient, and respectful. I know that trust takes time, and I never take that for granted. I’m new here and just getting started, but I’d truly love the chance to turn this kind of work into my full-time job. It would mean the world to me to earn your trust and be given opportunities to grow, help, and show what I can do. If you’re looking for someone who brings heart, care, and consistency — I’d be honored to work with you.

If you’re looking for someone who brings heart, care, and consistency — I’d be honored to work with you. I am hoping for so this full time! As of right now I have a job 9-5 most days! Except Sunday and Monday I’m off! If I can start doing this full time, I would available all days! 7 days a week, anytime between 7am-10pm. Let’s talk about how I can help you. I provide a calm, secure space, follow routines closely, give constant supervision, and treat every pet like my own—with patience, respect, and love. I take my job very seriously and handle with so much love and care.
“Sabrina and her family were awesome, they were so good to Oliver and I know he had a blast because he came home and immediately passed out for the rest of the night! I definitely recommend Sabrina for all your pup watching needs!”
About: I grew up with animals and as a parent now love to share my love of animals With my children. I am Flexible and willing to be as accommodating as I possibly can for all the pet owners seeking assistance with their pets. I do this because I know how scary it can be leaving your pet somewhere and not knowing. I also know how scary it can be to leave your pet while you are away. I do my best to stay in contact with all my clients and offer plenty of photos. I am very versatile and have experience with a lot of different pets. I am active and love bringing the pets I care for along with me for walks or out around town (as long as the clients are comfortable) I want their experience in my home and with me to mimic their normal every day routine in their home. I feel that lessens their anxiety. It’s incorporated into my daily as I make adjustments. Normally if I need to go somewhere I am sure that I understand from the owners if their pet is able to stay out or if they would prefer that their pet be put in a safe place so they don’t decide to become mischievous while I run errands. I also offer the opportunity for them to come with me if they enjoy car rides. Again what’s most important to me is keeping the pets routine as closely aligned to their normal routine at home. In order to ensure that the pets I care for are happy and healthy while in my care I am sure to get a clear understanding of how their routine normally works and I ensure that I align their routine at my house to that. This helps alleviate anxiety and fear when being in a new place.
About: For the past 8 years, I have been involved in rescue work and have gained experience fostering dogs and cats of varying ages and personalities. I have also worked at a dog training facility, gaining more experience and knowledge of dogs' body language, needs, and training. From caring for newborn puppies to senior dogs, from fearful to playful, every experience has been fulfilling. I am a proud owner of three rescue fur babies who bring love and joy into my life every day. I will forever be grateful for all the lessons they taught me and continue teaching me every day about love, joy, compassion, appreciation and patience I believe in using positive reinforcement methods and showing patience and creativity when handling animals. I have deep respect for their unique personalities and always strive to ensure their safety and well-being, fostering positive associations and allowing them the freedom to make choices independently Hey there! I recently relocated to Dayton and am looking for opportunities to spend as much time as possible with animals. I am fascinated by animal psychology and behaviour, and by how they learn and communicate. I regularly take my pups to dog classes in the evenings, go on long walks during the day and study online from home I have three beautiful pets to keep your fur baby company, or I can separate them so your paw-friend has peace of mind and personal space. If you prefer to keep your sweet little one in the crate, we will make it a calm, relaxing experience with a yummy food puzzle and classical music in the background. When pet sitting at your place, I can follow your instructions and guidance to make sure the little paws have everything they need. I enjoy spending time teaching dogs good manners and new skills. We practice obedience training with my pups every day, and my cat just started learning new tricks too. If you like, I can create an individual training plan for your pet during their stay, or you can let me know what to work on, and I'll make sure your pup is receiving the training. Any training is welcome, from puppy training to obedience to learning new skills. Change is stressful and scary, so I will make sure your fur baby has enough attention, physical exercise and mental stimulation. I have plenty of interactive toys for busy-minded pups, as well as lots of ideas for healthy, long-lasting snacks, such as food puzzles, KONG toys, lick mats, and sniffle games. And I'm always open to trying new activities if our furry friend has a favourite toy or game

“I am so thankful for Lori's patience with my senior dog who needs a bit more care! She spent time with both my dog and cat and I could tell from the pictures that they enjoy her presence :)”
“Beth was terrific! We needed someone to walk our 2 dogs for an hour each day for over a week. She was there every day, on time and with a cheery, friendly attitude. We appreciate her and will definitely hire her again - THANKS BETH!”
About: I have watched dogs ever since I was little. I started with a family friends two huskies. They loved to run in their yard and would come visit us on days that we weren't watching them by jumping the fence. When I was 10 or 11 we got our first dog and then we got another a few years later. My wife and I now have three dogs all of which are rescues. I can help with any animals so long as I have a few days heads up that you need help. I have experience watching pretty much every kind of pet from snakes to horses. If you need your dog, or even your cat, walked than I will be happy to help. I can even just stop by to make sure that everyone has a chance to go outside throughout the day. I can stop by and just sit with your pets or I can take them out into the yard and run or throw the ball with them. I am also happy to take them out on long or short walks depending on the pets needs and age. If anybody need medicine I have plenty of experience giving it to them as well as giving dogs physical therapy while recovering from surgery.
“Valerie is awesome with my pup. Reliable, kind, trustworthy. I know whenever I book Valerie my pup is well taken care of. I am picky about who I choose to watch my pup and Valerie is always my first pick. Highly recommend!”
“Mckinzey has been great with our pup Coco. She has been reliable, professional, and patient with Coco’s hesitation and vocalization surrounding people she doesn’t know.”
About: I have been pet sitting since I was 10 years old! I absolutely love animals, especially dogs and have grown up in a dog household (my family currently has three dogs of our own-a lab/aussie mutt, a mini-aussie, and a doodle). I have experience caring for puppies, as well as basic training. Additionally I have experience caring for senior animals as well as dogs with special dietary requirements. Caring for dogs is a true passion of mine. I look forward to helping you with your doggy needs. I am currently training to be a professional dancer at Cincinnati Ballet's Otto M. Budig Academy. Since all my dance training is late in the evening and I have a very flexible work schedule I am fully available from 8:30 until 3:45 to pop in and play with and care for your beloved pets! My parents have always been adamant that animal-care comes before all other duties, so ever since I bought my own puppy (ironically with money I made pet-sitting) at 13 I have made caring for her the first thing on my morning schedule. Additionally I always make sure to give my dog specifically but also the other two dogs my family owns, plenty of exercise and enrichment through walks and playtime. I also make it a point to brush my dog every day since her hair frequently knots otherwise. All these habits are reflected in my care for my client's pets, if not magnified by my sense of duty to ensure the safety and well-being of the pet I have been entrusted to care for.

“Jo was amazing with our big guy Brutus! She fit us into her schedule quite last minute and was professional and prompt with updates, questions etc. Thanks Jo for your help, greatly appreciated 🐶 ❤️”
About: I've had dogs ever since I was 10, but my experience with them goes far beyond that. When I was a little kid, before I ever had a dog, I would go to this read with a dog program called "Paws to Read." I would spend countless hours reading to the dogs and befriending them, along with a cat or two here and there. When I was 10, I got my first dog, a husky, and gave him a wonderful life. He had quite a few medical issues and behaved older for his age because of it, so I know how to provide senior pet care. He has since passed, but my two current dogs, one pitbull and one pitsky, remind me every day how important pets are to me. I've had them both for eight years now, during which we've taken numerous car rides, walks, enjoyed outside and inside playtime, movie nights, and anything a dog could dream of. Now, while I've never had a cat because of the majority of my family being allergic, I never turn away from a cat. I'm a regular at the Gem City Catfe, where I play with the cats often and have gone so often that they are comfortable with me. I keep cat and dog treats on me in case I come across a stray, because all cats and dogs deserve to feel some love. I've also dog-sat and house-sat for a few friends before, so I know how to handle situations like pets not getting along, bathroom accidents, and being a bit of a picky eater. Currently, I am a full time student and work full time at UDRI (UD's Research Institute) from 8:30am - 3:30am. During the summer I won't be taking any in person classes, just two online. But when I return to UD for my final year, I will be taking classes again and may be slightly more limited. When it comes to my pets and caring for clients pets, the comfort of the pet is most important to me. Personally, my two dogs don't get along with each other very well, so they typically have to be separated. Even so, I always make sure to treat them both equally and give them lots of love! If I take one for a car ride and ice cream, I bring ice cream back for the other and take the other for a car ride later that week. If my client has dogs similar to mine, who need to be separated, I would be sure to treat them equally and split my time with them according to my client's requests. Given single-pet households, I'd spend a lot of my time with them! In my downtime, I'd make sure to sit with them while I work on coursework. I'd be sure to take them on walks and go for potty breaks. And of course I'd make sure we get a lot of play time in and lots of love!
“Liesa is such an angel! Our smallest pup sometimes wont eat and so she spoon feeds him💕💕 I don’t have to worry about my babies because I know they’re in loving hands 🙏🙏”
“She was excellent. Showed up on time, gave our dogs extra special treatment and gave them four days of great interaction while we were traveling from out of town. Can not recommend her enough.”
About: I have had my own pets since I was a kid! My family has two wonderful dogs who we got as puppies. I spent a lot of time learning how to care for and train puppies and now even in college I consistently drive home to dog sit for my parents while they are out of town. I also have experience watching a large number of dogs, caring for deaf dogs, feeding, administering medications, walking, and more. I understand the need for someone with attention to detail and a big heart as leaving your fur babies in the hands of someone else is never easy. I am always more than willing to help out and learn how to best care of your animals! I currently have a part time job at a coffee shop which leaves me plenty of time for pet care! I should have a consistent schedule which will make it easy to schedule in times/longer stays. I take great care to make sure your pets remain safe and happy when I am sitting for any family. I make sure I know what the pets can do while I am around and also what their limitations are. I have a great eye for detail and will make sure your pets are fed/given medicine on time, let out/walked when needed, and make sure they receive the love and attention they need. I tend to keep notes on me just to make sure I am not missing any little notes about what your pets prefer.
“Mike was fantastic! We so appreciate the care he gave our furbabes. He went above and beyond, sitting with our pups after their walks and sending us pictures of their adventuring. His communication and updates were great. We will definitely use Mike again.”
