About: I’ve cared for pets of all ages, from playful puppies to sweet senior dogs. I’m patient and gentle, and I know how to tailor care to your pet’s unique needs. Whether it's giving meds, keeping up with energetic walks, or offering lots of cuddles, I’ve got it covered. I also have experience with crate training and basic commands, and I always treat pets like family. I’m reliable and communicative, and I truly love what I do! I’m a student at UD with online classes this summer, which gives me a super flexible schedule and plenty of free time. I’ll be available all summer for walks, drop-ins, playtime, or overnight stays. Since my classes are remote, I can easily plan my day around your pet’s routine and give them the attention and care they deserve. I have two friendly goldendoodles of my own (Henry and Milo), so I’m very used to providing loving, attentive care every day. I’ve also taken care of my neighbors’ dogs and cats, so I’m comfortable with different breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Whether I’m in my home or yours, I focus on creating a safe, clean, and calm environment where pets feel secure and happy. I treat every animal like part of the family and always follow the routine that works best for them.

“It was really great to have Abby drop by to look after my kitties while I was away for my wedding during the holidays. I could be free of worries during my time away knowing they were in good hands.”



“Kelly is our go-to pet sitter for our crew of resident dogs, foster dogs, and even our cat! She is experienced with dogs and cats alike and goes above and beyond to make sure they’re well cared for. I love that our dogs have a consistent routine and can stay home when I travel, but that I don’t have to worry about whether they’re being well taken care of. We have a dog that takes twice daily medication and Kelly gave every dose with no issue. Kelly always does an amazing job with both easy dogs and higher maintenance ones. She is also extremely flexible and go-with-the-flow. Our flight got delayed and she was happy to go over for a last-minute additional visit to keep our pets well and happy until our return! I would recommend Kelly without a single reservation.”


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’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: Hi! I’m Isabella. I am 21 years old and a University of Dayton student studying law. On top of that, I am a lifelong dog lover and experienced handler. I grew up in a house with five dogs and have been surrounded by animals ever since. Most recently, I worked as a dog handler at Flyer’s Paw Zone, where I managed group dog behavior in a busy daycare setting. I’m trained in reading canine body language, quickly de-escalating conflicts, and recognizing signs of stress. I also regularly walked dogs of all sizes and energy levels during my time at Flyer’s Paw Zone. Whether you need a regular dog walker, or someone to pop in while you’re away, I will be there. As a college student, I have flexible availability and can easily adapt to your dogs specific needs/schedule. I am also available to do overnight dog sitting. I currently have a very flexible availability due to being in undergrad. Please contact me and we can set something up that works for the both of us. At the moment, I own two cats. My three dogs are at home with my mom. I regularly walk and take care of all three of them when I go visit my mom.

“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.”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was in grad school. Mainly took care of medium to large dogs, from puppies to 10+ years old. I have a 1 year old GSP named Miles who keeps me occupied most of the time. I work 7:30-3:30 most days during the week (regular full time job). But my weekends are usually open. I do quite a few different activities to keep my little guy occupied (and I think your pup will like them too). Activities include fetch, running, hiking, some scent work, etc. I have a 7 foot tall vinyl fence that my little guys loves to play in. I also have a medium sized crate and pad to keep your pup in. I mostly keep hard chew toys around and plenty of treats.

“Petey was so helpful w my grumpy elder male cat. He cleaned up after him even when he spotted poo markings on a chair, and kept me up to date on how he was doing w his meds, poops (big part of his diabetes and elder cat needs) and spirit :) wish I could use him again in Nola but he'll be moving to OH! Good luck and thanks so much Petey!”
