About: I have my own chihuahua Saydee. She is 8 years old. I love being around other dogs as well, they bring me joy and happiness. I have open availability anytime!

Potty, food, and will give plenty of play time.

About: My parents say I loved animals before people :) My first job was cleaning kennels and caring for boarding animals over 2 decades ago. I look forward to meeting and caring for your loved four-leggeds ❤️ I currently am working part time. With my son back in school, I'm looking to fill more of my time caring for your wonderful pets! We have 2 cats of our own and I foster dogs for sicsa. I also like to take adoptable dogs for the day and go for walks and give them extra love and exercise.

“Sabrina is amazing. Oakley enjoys their walks and looks forward to them.”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life! I grew up in a household that always had at least two dogs that were part of the family. I absolutely love dogs and will take care of and love your babies like they’re my own! I currently own two dogs, Churro and Cannoli, and they light up my life! I have experience caring for my own pets, my family’s pets and my friends’ pets. I would absolutely love to help take care of your fur babies when needed. My own dog, Churro, takes medication daily so I am experienced in administering oral pills and liquid medication. I can’t wait to go on walks, give belly scratches and have fun. I do work full time so I understand how heart breaking it is to leave your dogs at home, so if I can help out in anyway I would love to! I’m available on weekends mostly, and during the week my schedule times could fluctuate. I also like to vacation myself, so I understand how difficult it is to find someone you trust to watch your pet while you are away and I would love to be that person for you! I currently live in an apartment so my fur babies get lots of love indoors and lots of fun walks around the neighborhood! I also love taking them to the park so they can explore.

About: Hi, I’m Risa! I am a young professional who recently moved to the Dayton area. I have a 7-year-old Golden Retriever named Ellie. I consider dogs to be family and promise to treat yours as such! I have a flexible schedule so I am able to keep a close eye and provide frequent potty breaks. (In addition to lots of pets, of course!) I have a house with a fully fenced, grassy yard in a quiet and safe neighborhood. I have one friendly dog, my 7-year-old Golden Retriever named Ellie.

About: I have been a long time pet owner. On Oct. 17, 2023 I lost my little dog Neil. He was 12 years old and meant the world to me. He was my faithful companion and travel partner. Before moving to Ohio in November 2023, I spent the past 3 years living in Mexico volunteering with a rescue organization which gave me an even broader insight into caring for animals. I apply that knowledge and care to other animals. I am a mother and grandmother to humans, but I love my pets like they are my children. You can expect the same love, care and treatment of your pets when I care for them. I have experience with dogs and cats ranging from puppies/kittens to seniors; pets requiring medical care to very active ones. I’m certain that I can care for your fur baby, too. I am a stay at home grandma that has free time during the day making me available for drop-in checks, play dates and walks with your pet. Visits after 4pm can be arranged with advance notice. My time is my own, making it easy to care for your pet in their own home, be it for a day or for the length of your vacation. I will care for your pet at your home according to your specific instructions. I ask that pets be up to date on all vaccinations. Any food or treats that you would like your pet to have should be provided by you. I do not provide those due to the potential risk of allergies and/or special dietary restrictions your pet may have.

About: I’ve grown up with all sorts of animals my whole life. I’m always willing to watch a friend’s or family member’s pet when out of town. I find any excuse to be outside, so whether it’s a long walk or to play I am happy! We do not have any pets right now, so this is a great way to get that fix :) I work from home full-time, so majority of the time I am here and can have an eye on your pet. I am able to take short breaks throughout the day whether it’s over lunch and go on a long walk or just take some time to go play outside. I have a fenced yard that they can roam in if desired and can easily keep your pet crated as well if I need to leave or at night. Happy to accommodate the schedule you have set as much as possible especially if staying or visiting your home!

About: Dog sitting was my first job as a teenager, and is still my favorite job I hold. For years, family, friends, and coworkers have trusted their furry friend with me. I have volunteered with 4 Paws for Ability, take college courses on canine evolution, and have been professionally trained on dog behavior. I have worked with every age of dogs, from puppies to seniors. I am also equipped to handle disabled dogs, including visually impaired. I have the current ability to take care of your pups on your schedule. Whether it’s a morning potty break, an afternoon walk, or an evening dinner feeding, I’m available. My own dog, Walle, is a Labrador Retriever and the happiest boy. He has been temperament tested by multiple agencies, and is fully vaccinated. If your pup likes a play date or a doggie companion, Walle will be a great friend. If your dog is more of a solo animal, that’s also perfect. It’s up to you and your dog’s level of comfort.

About: Animals have always been at the center of my life, there’s never been a time I didn’t have at least five cats or dogs in the house! Over the years, I’ve cared for more than 100 pets, and I’ve loved every moment of it. Now as an adult, that same love drives me to spend as much time as I can caring for animals of all kinds. I currently share my home with six cats, a bunch of birds, and a few playful ferrets. From the tiniest kitten to the most energetic pup, I understand how unique and important every pet is. I’m committed to treating your furry family members with the same care, attention, and love I give my own. Whether it’s playtime, snuggles, or keeping up with daily routines, I’d be honored to care for your pets like they’re part of my family. I can’t wait to meet them! I’m currently available full-time, which means I can be flexible with your pet’s schedule—whether they need early morning feedings, midday play breaks, or evening check-ins. Since I’m not working another job, I have the time and energy to fully dedicate myself to caring for your cats and dogs! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I know how hard it can be to trust someone new with your furry family member, which is why I’m committed to creating a calm, respectful, and secure environment for every animal I care for. I take the time to understand each pet’s unique needs, boundaries, and routines, so they feel safe and at ease in my presence. You can trust that your pet will be in loving, responsible hands—treated with patience, kindness, and the same care I give my own animals.

About: I treat every dog like family, not just a job. What differentiates me from other sitters is my genuine love and attention to each pet. I take the time to understand your dog's personality, routine, and needs, whether it's playtime, walks, medication, or the comfort of being there. I'm reliable and communicative, and I always keep you updated with photos and messages so you feel connected even when you're away. Your dog's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. With me, you're not just getting a sitter but someone who truly cares. I begin each day around 7 AM by letting the dogs out for a bathroom break, feeding them, and engaging in playtime to ensure they're comfortable and content. During my work hours, I make it a point to let them outside every 3–4 hours, and I'm flexible to increase this frequency if necessary. I'm diligent about adhering to their medication schedules, ensuring timely administration, and preparing the appropriate meals for them. This structured routine helps maintain their health and well-being. I prioritize safety during my dog-sitting services by ensuring that all doors and gates are securely locked and that dogs wear their collars at all times. I use well-fitted harnesses and leashes when walking, avoiding retractable leashes to maintain better control. I also take precautions to prevent escapes by keeping dogs away from open doors and gates and using baby gates or other barriers. Additionally, I stay vigilant during walks, avoiding distractions like phone use and being cautious around other animals or unfamiliar people. These measures help ensure the dogs' safety and prevent any potential accidents.

About: I have grown up with a dog my whole life. I worked as a kennel care tech for 4 Paws for Ability for a year. This is a program that trains dogs to be used as special service dogs. I recently graduated from the University of Dayton with a Bachelor's Degree in Marketing. I am doing freelance work which allows me lots of extra free time. I thought this would be the perfect way to fulfill that missing part of my life. I have an 85 pound Shiloh Shepherd and a 90 pound golden lab that I recently adopted from 4 Paws for Ability. My grandma started a dog walking business and I grew up helping her out with the dogs, so I am used to all kinds of dogs. I am friendly and easy-going. I have flexible hours for the most part. I love working out and would not mind walking/running with your dog as needed. My Shepherd takes daily anxiety medication and thunderstorm medication when needed, so I am comfortable giving medication as well. I am doing freelance work which allows me lots of extra free time. I am available mornings, afternoons, and nights, Monday-Friday. Most weekends I am available. I will mark on my calendar days that I am not available in advanced and will always keep that up to date. I love working out and would not mind walking/running with your dog as needed. I will not be having dogs or cats stay at my house or doing house stays due to my shepherd not being friendly towards other dogs

About: I’ve been taking care of both cats and dogs since I was 10 years old. Whether it be my family’s dogs, a neighbor’s cat, or an extended family member’s pet. I’ve cared and looked after them all! I’m currently a dental hygiene student at Sinclair. My schedule for the summer has lightened up and gives me plenty of time to spend it with your fur baby. While my backyard isn’t vast, if your pet comes to me I can still go out with them and take them on walks. At a client’s home, I will go outside with them to play fetch or sit with them if they want to sunbathe. Same goes for inside the home. I adore loving on animals and playing with them when they get the zoomies.

“Excellent!! Thank you so much for spending time and taking great care of our furbaby! Samantha was so comfortable with Lauren immediately!”
