House Sitting in Dayton

“Leesa was the best sitter for our two dogs that you could ever hope for! We went on a trip for my 60th birthday and she watched the house and dogs while we were gone. She took them on walks, played, snuggled, gave their meds and fed them (she even cooked some special chicken for them!) It was like they got a little vacation too! They might have been a bit mad that we didn't cook for them when we came back, but they got over it! She sent us lots of updates and pictures the whole trip. She even cleaned up and washed the linens and towels she used before she left! We Love Leesa!”

“Jennifer was great. I had to find a sitter on very late notice and she was able to accommodate. My dog took to her right away (which is atypical... There's usually at least a few barks and being skittish). She sent me pictures and had no issues at all!”

“Elizabeth was such a great joy to have with my four legged kids today. We have had a very rough time recently with my mother having issues who was our main sitter and our one dog dying. Thus, I am in need of day sitters last minute for awhile until we can get a routine down. I want to thank her so much for all the texts and pictures with updates. It has been a very anxious time for us, and she was such a wonderful savior. It was so nice to know someone was with the dogs during the storms. She was so polite last minute when I had to find help and came out to meet dogs to learn routine. We for sure will have her again, and it might even be this weekend or this week if she is available to day sit at our house.”

“Liesa did a great job. She followed instructions and stayed a little after due to our concert going late. It was a long day and we had to leave Lily alone a couple of times already, so her willingness to stay after was a big help. We received pictures of our little girl and she was easy to communicate with.”

“Took good care of our fur babies! Glad she was able to come take care of them at our house while we were on vacation. She kept the house tidy and was responsive to our messages. Also sent us pictures of them so we felt better about leaving them. She also made a sketch of them that we love!! :)”

“She was wonderful with my puppy! He’s recently adopted so we were working on separation anxiety and first dog parent concerns. Claire was so helpful and patient.”

“Hailie and Manny did a great job watching Ella while I was out of town for a few days! Definitely will ask them again next time I go out of town and would recommend them to anyone!”

About: Longtime pet lover and owner. Volunteer dog walker and cage cleaner at SICSA. Volunteer animal caregiver at Aullwood Farm. I will take good care of your pet. I have a fenced yard and plenty of time to spend with your animal. I walk the dogs in my care daily at State Farm Park near my house or someplace close to yours. They are kept secure on a short leash at all times. I am recently retired as a bus driver for the RTA. I enjoy reading, making art, furniture refinishing and all outdoor activities. I can involve your pet in life enrichment activities. And I can safely transport your animal as needed. I now have certification as a Professional Pet-Sitter Dog-Walker (CPS-DW). Let me know if I can take your dog to obedience class as well. If you would like to scroll through my photos, I try to include a picture of all my animal guests. I enjoy taking photos that capture their unique personalities and the interesting things that they do. Mostly, they make me smile. If necessary, I can bring my services to you. Or, your pet can come to me. In your residence I will respect your home and property and follow all your directions as to your animal's care. At my residence I can crate your animal if they need respite. They can hang out with me in the house, on my sofa, or even in my bed! I will involve them in my daily activities and provide plenty of attention and reassurance. In addition, I love cats and all other animals. I am not averse to new experiences. If you have a bird, rabbit, chicken, turtle, hamster, lizard, snake (etc., etc.) that needs care, I'm your man!

“Miranda was excellent with our senior dog and took great care of him. She made sure he was well fed, got his potty breaks, and had plenty of time for his naps. She kept us updated and sent photos while we were gone. I would highly recommend Miranda and her outstanding care.”

“Elle is a wonderful caregiver for both my dog and cats. She is attentive and playful and they all love the attention she gives them. I know when I’m traveling that they will all have a great time with Elle. She is very professional, dependable, and lets me how they are doing so I have no worries while I’m away. She always follows my instructions carefully and is very sweet with her interactions. I would highly recommend her to anyone that is in need of pet sitting.”

“Lisa was great! She was courteous, helpful, and responsive. She was attentive to Eva's schedule and respectful and clean during her stay at my place. I look forward to having Lisa look after Eva in the near future.”

“Dionte was great! He took care of my dog and cat perfectly. Will book again.”

“Rebecca helped us out in a pinch. Our 9 month old high energy puppy hadn’t been prepared, but he did great under her care and we had huge relief. Our puppy was better behaved when we returned! Rebecca helped train and him and gave him lots of energy outlets.”

“Kate went above and beyond to ensure the comfort and safety of my four dogs during a 5 day vacation. I would recommend her to anyone that really wants care and attention for their pups. Kate is, without a doubt, the best rover sitter I’ve used.”

“Shelby was so good with my pup! I was apprehensive about leaving him with someone new but Shelby went above and beyond and I will no doubt use her again to take care of him! She kept me updated, took him to play with her pups, and he was pooped when we returned! Highly recommend!”

“Megan was friendly, professional and punctual. She stayed in contact while I was away (which helped to work through some unforseen issues) and sent pictures and videos of my cat while she house sitted. She also seems to be some kind of cat whisperer since my cat is not friendly with many people but seemed to take to her immediately. She also helped me navigate the Rover site for booking what I wanted and planned ahead to avoid letting my cat out into a storm (I was out of town and unaware of the situation). I would highly recommend Megan for your pet sitting needs.”

“Danni has been watching my male chihuahua & female miniature pinscher for two years. My dogs are very high maintenance & Danni stays with the dogs to meet their needs. Danni is very responsive via call or text. I highly recommend Danni to watch your fur babies!”

“Alliyah did such a great job with our high maintenance boy! He had so much fun hanging out with her & her daughter & she did a great job taking care of him! Alliyah kept us up to date and always checked in & asked questions as they came up.”

About: I have had dogs and cats my entire life, and have experience dog and cat sitting family, friends, and coworker's pets. I love all animals and will take great care of your fur babies! I also have volunteer experience at an animal shelter, so I have experience caring for shy/scared animals. I recently graduated with my Doctorate in Physical Therapy! I am looking to make some extra money while I wait for my job to start in late July. I will have a lot of free time, and will likely be available with same day notice to care for your pets! I live in a duplex in Dayton, with a large walking path in my neighborhood. There are no steps for the pets to navigate/ get inside the house.

“Britt shows our dogs the exact love and attention that we do! I know they feel safe and loved when she’s with them given their excitement when she walks in the door, which makes leaving them much easier! She checks in often, and we always come home to a clean house and happy dogs!”
