Doggy Day Care in Xenia

About: I have had dogs my entire life. I dream to someday operate my own senior dog rescue. Dogs have quite literally been one of the most important things in my life FOR my entire life. They mean so much to me. I was born and raised in a farm family and have been helping with farm work and animals for as long as I can remember. I now have 4 dogs of my own, a 14 year old golden retriever (recently passed away), an 8 year old lab, a 2 year old bernedoodle, and a 3 year old mini-goldendoodle. I care for pets as they are my own children and family and take pet care very seriously! I currently freelance as a virtual assistant and project manager as well as co-own a contracting business with my husband in which I do the backend of things such as bookwork. I make my own schedule so I am free to come and go as needed! I can easily crate your dog and let them out in a fenced yard at your home. I am willing to walk them multiple times a day on the leash. I am also comfortable going to dog parks, etc. I can feed, water, and administer meds.

“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.”

“Today was Rue’s very first day at doggy daycare with Arlissa, and I could not be more thankful for the wonderful care she gave my sweet girl. From the very start, she was so kind and responsive, and she sent me the cutest pictures of Rue playing during the day—which completely warmed my heart. Those photos honestly brought me so much joy that I’ll probably end up framing them! It gave me such peace of mind knowing Rue was safe, happy, and loved while I was at work. I would recommend Arlissa to absolutely anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and welcoming place for their dog. I’ll definitely be booking with her many more times moving forward. Thank you, Arlissa, for treating Rue like one of your own!❤️”

“Courtney and Jordan took great care of my high-energy German shepherd. They played with him as well as took him on walks. He came home tired--the best sign of a good day for him,”

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!

“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!”

“Ezgi sent lots of photos throughout her stay and it looked like they had a really fun day of adventures at daycare! She is very quick to respond and helpful. Her dog is super friendly and made my anxious dog feel comfortable”

“Laklyn and her partner watched our dogs for the day and our dogs clearly had a great time. When they got home they were worn out. She fed them breakfast and they also went on a walk. Thank you for watching them!”

About: 🐾 I specialize in cat boarding and small pet care for rabbits, birds, hamsters, guinea pigs, and more - including experience with diabetic cats needing insulin injections. 🐾I've been a pet lover since I was a kid. Growing up, our home was filled with all kinds of animals—dogs, cats, hamsters, and more. I always thought I’d become a vet someday, and that deep love for animals has never left. 🐾One of my most meaningful experiences was raising my dog from a bottle-fed puppy to her very last breath as a senior. I personally trained her, cared for her through all life stages, and learned so much about what animals need at every age. That kind of hands-on care and long-term bond is something I carry with every pet I look after. 🐾Whether it’s young pets that need play and structure or seniors who need patience and comfort, I show up with warmth, attention, and respect. 🐾If you are seeking boarding of any animal, other than a dog or cat, book the animal(s) as "cat". Then, message me with the animal(s) details and I will adjust your booking rates accordingly. 🐾I will offer extended stay and multi-pet discounts. I can modify the booking rate to reflect those offers. 🐾Boarding for: cats, rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, rats, mice, birds, fish, most reptiles, amphibians. Don't see your animal listed? Message me 🐾We do have a specific outdoor area for bunnies and other small creatures to play in a few times a day. The outdoor area is sprinkled with microgreens for fresh critter nibbles. 🐾Family-based care for pets BEYOND dogs Our family does life at home, so I'm around throughout the day and week. That makes pet care a natural part of my routine. Your pet won’t be left alone for long stretches, and you can count on consistency and attention. We have a fully fenced yard for outside time, and a calm, clean space inside. I'm happy to care for cats (indoor or outdoor), other small animals like rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, fish, birds, amphibians and most reptiles. I am selective on offering dog boarding care and doggie day care services in our home. If you have an exceptional dog that is well-mannered, potty trained, and doesn't smell or shed much I can be persuaded to offer you dog boarding/dog daycare. I treat your pet like my own, and my goal is to make them feel safe and comfortable while you're away.

About: For the past eight years, I have been involved in rescue work and have gained experience in fostering dogs and cats of different ages and personalities. I have also worked at a dog training facility where I learned about dogs' body language, needs, and training. From caring for newborn puppies to senior dogs, from timid to playful, every experience has been fulfilling. I am a proud owner of three rescue fur babies who bring so much love and joy into my life every day. 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 I'm switching careers from early childhood education to dog training. I'm currently taking online courses and getting hands-on experience at the local animal shelter. My schedule is flexible, and I'm excited to spend my days surrounded by the happiness of wet noses, tail wags and purrs I have three beautiful pets to keep your fur baby company, or I can separate them to give your fur friend 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 When pet sitting at your place, I can follow your guidance and make sure the little paws has everything he/she needs

“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.”

“Amazing. Very quick to respond and works well with any delays. Both the times i needed her she was able to help last minute. Im happy with her care and will happily go back to her again and again.”

Mike L.

“We had a great experience! Our puppy loved being there. Ami and her family were super nice and welcoming.”

“Courtney was great! We dropped our dogs off to do some hiking in Bryce canyon and had an amazing day, but we think our dogs might have had more fun than us! Courtney took them for hikes, let them swim in some lakes and all the while sent us pictures of our pups having the time of their lives. Would highly recommend Courtney on this app!”

About: I’ve always been exceptionally empathetic towards animals, and I’d like your pets to feel as if they’re on vacation when they’re with me. When I first started rover, an owner saw how well I cared for their dogs, and they became like my second family during college. I still visit after moving away. My family dog is a husky, so I can take on big energetic dogs, and my first dog ever was a Yorkshire terrier with medical problems, so I know how to administer medication if needed (I have a background in the medical field as well). You can have a stress free day knowing your animals are safe and well cared for with me. I will be with your pet the entire stay, so you don’t ever have to worry about them being left alone for long periods of time. I live in a townhouse, so I have two levels, making it larger than your average apartment. I also have a back yard with a lead allowing your dog to run around without being hand held on a leash for every potty break. I also enjoy to walk the dogs around the complex, as they get “new information” and excitement from smelling new experiences around them.

About: I've owned dogs all of my life and can provide excellent care of your dogs. They will get plenty of love and play time as well. I currently work from home and will be able to give your dogs plenty of attention. They will fit right in with us in our home. My dog is allowed to go outside on the leash because he is old and does not go very far anymore, but I can keep your pets on a leash while in my care. I can also crate your dog.

“My little baby has a wonderful time. She gets lots of play time and always excited to see her. Cassie is great!”

About: Hi! I have had pets throughout my life. I am a dependable, caring animal lover who treats every pet like my own. I understand that pets are family, and I will provide a safe and loving environment for them while you’re away. I am attentive to routines, feeding instructions, and any special needs your pet may have. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or cuddles, I will make sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for at all times. As an online graduate student I am home most of the day. My schedule is flexible which allows me to plan my day around pet care needs. Regular potty breaks, daily walks, playtime, and plenty of affection. My apartment complex also has a dog park, which I can use for supervised play and exercise when appropriate.

“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.”
