About: I have been around dogs my entire life. I have been training and showing my Aussies since I was little. I wash and groom my own dogs. I am currently training and showing my dogs in agility, rally, obedience, scentwork, and conformation. We compete in AKC (American Kennel Club), ASCA (Australian Shepherd Club of America), and UKC (United Kennel Club). Both have titles in rally obedience, obedience, barn hunt, and trick. My services could include: walks, baths (depending on breed), and basic obedience and trick training. I’m a SAHM with a two year old boy who is dog savvy and would come with me on visits and walks. He either walks on his own or is in a stroller. I have a fenced in yard and all of my dogs are crate trained (Snap doesn’t crate anymore though). I can help with crate training.

I am available most days of the week for long periods of time to fit into your schedule and care for your pets well! I can do some sitting and care on weekends! I have a nice space for the dogs to play and have fun! I have a nice yard at my house for them to run around! I can easily crate your dog, if needed!

About: I have had animals my entire life, I love them all; big and small. I treat them all as my own. I can be found on the floor playing with a dog almost anywhere I go. Your best friend is in good hands with me as I am home full time and would like to do what I love and that is working with animals. I find working with animals to be fulfilling and makes me happy to keep them company while their people are at work or away and unable to do so. Working with animals in a non-veterinary setting is my dream job and I hope to make some new friends in the process. I will send pictures, updates, and make sure your buddy is happy and loved while you are away. I am with them 24/7 for the most part and this is what I do, so my rates reflect my experience and dedication to being the best pet sitter for you and your furry friends. You can count on me to care for furry friends in a gentle and thorough manner as if they were my own. I am home full time, your fur babies will have constant care while they are with me. I love being home and cuddling up with my fur buddies. I have 2 dogs and a cat. Safety is my number one priority. I’m never away for very long. I never open an entry door without making sure that my dogs are gated or behind another interior door away from a point of escape. I am very familiar with even the sneakiest of escape artist’s, so I will ask to see all points of entry/exit of your home at our meet and greet. Your fur babies’ safety is in good hands with me and my ultimate priority. (I plan around physician appointments and other drop ins)

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 10 and have had animals my whole life. I have volunteered at many shelters and fostered previously. I have experience with older, shy, more understanding needed animals. We are used to training puppies so can keep up with any needed continued care. I work from home and am able to give my full attention to your fur baby. I can move my breaks around for bathroom or attention breaks. My 5 year old GoldenDoodle will keep them company all day, as well. We have a fenced in yard and will keep your animal safe and loved. During walks if desired we have a fully sidewalked neighborhood. We have couch covers for the dogs to be able to get on the furniture if desired. If coming to your home I will leave everything as you left it, with the exception of your animal feeling relieved and loved.

About: I grew up with pets and care for a dog and 2 cats at my own place. My dog is an elder with a prior back surgery, so I’m no stranger to disabilities, giving medicine, and even expressing bladders. I’m an animal lover; I work a full time job but would love to provide weekend care for your smaller family members! I work a full time job during the week. Outside of work hours, I’m caring for my own pets. Weekends will be the best availability for me to be able to care for your pets! I dont offer care in my own home due to the stress it will put on my older dog. However, care in your home will look like whatever you would like it to look like. I’m willing to do walks, feedings, general company/play time, and other things you may need at a drop in

About: I’ve had my first dog( Bandit) for 10 years. Since I was 9, I would take care of him on the daily. I would be the one to bathe, feed, play with him, and walk him. My extended family even trusted me to care for their pets while they’ve been away. I also own many different kinds of pets other than dogs and cats, so animal care is something I have adapted to. For the past two years, I have had experience in intensive dog training and I am educated in dog behavior. I attend The Ohio State University studying Biology in order to become a Veterinarian. Not only do i need to earn a bachelor’s degree to get into vet school, but i also need hours of experience. To achieve that, I have volunteered at ASPCA (animal rescue organization) to care for the many animals in need. While there, I learned how to care for animals that have been in rough situations. I am able to manage dogs that are twice my size. As a crazy animal lover, I'd love to meet your pets! As of right now , I am available all day everyday to care for my own pets and yours too! I work from home, so pet care is something I’m able to do on the side. At home, I just got a fenced yard installed, but I take my pets out on walks. They are under my super vision 24/7. If my client has a fenced yard, I will happily take them outside as needed and provide playtime.

About: I have had dogs my entire life from puppyhood to senior years! Since age 9, I have been able to be graced with having cats and now have one of my very own who gets whatever she wants. I love pets more than anything and would be honored to take care of yours just as I do mine. I currently work full time Monday-Thursday and am looking to add caring for animals into my time off through drop ins and walking! I am an avid explorer so I tend to walk several miles throughout my week and more on the weekends! I would love to drop in and see your pet to ease your worries about leaving them for work! I ensure the utmost care for my pets in my home and in others that I have cared for. I do this by having a watchful eye on them, engage them in enrichment of their choice, and love on them!

About: Things to know about me: 1. I’ve been dog-obsessed since before the age of 5. I’m now 40(ish), and still have to control my natural and immediate impulse to pet every dog I see. And cats…and goats. Mostly dogs. 2. I have extensive experience with dogs of all kinds. I spent years volunteering at the SPCA. I’ve fostered, dog-sat, socialized and walked all kinds of dogs - large to small, long to short, elderly to puppies. I’ve been bitten more times than I care to admit, and I’ve still NEVER met a dog I don’t like. 3. They belong indoors, in the bed, and on the furniture. They deserve the cheese tax and also the chicken tax. There’s no such thing as a bad dog. I said what I said. In short, if you’re in or around the Dayton area and you need a walker or a day-sitter, I’ll be happy to. And I’ll love your dog like they’re my own while I’m with them. I’m currently available Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. throughout the day. I’m occasionally available on weekends during the day, although that availability is a little more infrequent. I’m available to walk and play with your dog, let them out, give treatos or feed as needed, and work on leash training and basic commands if needed.

About: ASK ABOUT WHAT DISCOUNTS AND PROMOTIONS I CURRENTLY HAVE Hey, I’m sure you’re wondering “why should I let this guy near my precious animal?” or something or that nature. Well here’s some basic info for you. -I’m a pet owner of 2 absolutely adorable troublemakers that I’ve raised since they were kittens so I can keep animals alive for extended time. I’ve also lived with roommates who had their own pets and have plenty of experience caring for other peoples animals. -I use to work/volunteer at an animal shelter when I was in college for a year so I have a experience working one on one and with groups of animals -Friends and family always remark on how well I get along with animals and how much I absolutely love them more than humans -I am very cooperative/receptive with your pets needs and your wishes! It’s your pet so you’ll know more than me what they need when it comes to their care. Trust me as a fellow pet owner I know! -I’m always happy to answer questions before you’d like to use me so ask away! I work a full time job Monday through Friday, sometimes weekends, and on 3rd shift hours so my availability will be unfortunately restricted to morning hours, however I will try my best to be as available as possible! Sometimes I can work outside my posted availability but no promises, feel free to ask! I do special promotions and discounts as well, ask away! I’ll treat your pet as I would treat my pets. Try and give them a clean and safe environment, with plenty of food and water and a clean litter box.

About: I have been taking care of pets for about 8 years now. Whether it be my own dog or my friends dogs, I provide high quality care to each pet I care for. In addition, I potty trained and crate trained my dog, as well as taught her all her fun tricks! I am in college and will be available to care for your pets throughout most of my days due to my classes being spaced out throughout the week. I place the utmost importance not only on pet care but also on respecting pet owners and their instructions. I aim to provide high quality care to each and every pet so that they are safe, healthy, comfortable and happy!

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Xenia. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
