Dog Walking Afton

“Kelly was excellent with both of our dogs! She was very loving with our older Shitzapoo who likes to walk and sniff around, and patient with our large 9 month old puppy that is full of energy! I highly recommend Kelly, it’s obvious she loves animals! ❤️🐾🐾”

About: Aloha! I want to help you and your family member (dog/pets) feel less stressed about being away from each other! I noticed that every time I used a kennel service for our fur baby, our dog would get so scared, sick, stress shed, nervous/anxiety, she would not eat, different times she caught kennel cough (which meant more vet bills), and our dog was definitely unhappy with the small kennel space surrounded by other upset loud barking pups/dogs/animals! I believe I can help your dog/pet feel loved, safe, comfortable, fed, clean, exercised, washed (optional), fun/waggy tails, like our family when you are away. My name is Michelle. I love animals! We have a small dog, bunny and fish! I used to volunteer at SPCA and Paw-sitive (Non profit, walk, groom, and feed stray dogs until they got adopted). I have housesit/housesat and dogsit/catsit/ bird and turtles-sat for friends and was suggested to extend my love on ROVER! (Side note: My husband goes to work during the day.I recently changed our schedule to homeschooling my 3 yr old. My 2 kids are used to me caring, playing, and walking other dogs. They loves animals as well. We all have experience caring for animals, see pictures). I have went out of the way to teach , show and guide my children to be gentle, slow approaching/no sudden movements, no chasing, be responsible, ask before petting, and to be aware around animals. I want to help other families feel comfortable and confident to leave their pet with me. We have our Covid shots and boosters. I am home everyday (except 3-4hours out of the house now and then for groceries , gym, or friends farm, or kids play dates). I keep my distance from crowds, we sanitize, and wash our hands frequently. I clean the house and wipe everything all the time. We got a new Hoover carpet wash, and our dog is up to date with shots! Your pet is safe and will be treated like royalty, pampered, loved like our pup/family! I will text or email you pictures and FaceTime your dog/pet too, if you like. Your dog/cat/pet is unique and special to you so I will do my best to help. I have owned dogs most my life (had my first pup with the responsibilities at 6 years old, and owned/fostered animals on and off for about 34 years) …cared for puppies, adults and senior dogs such as pit bulls, Pekingese, Shih Tzu , mini pincher Dobermans ,then fostered a German Shepard, a black pup Labradors, also taken cared of a Golden Retrievers, a Pitbull, poodles, bulldogs, Soft- wheat Terriers, birds, hamsters, turtles, a class pet guinea pig, and cared for friends cats too (see photos). (Yes, I have a small dog but our house is big enough to have another dog/cat/pet around . I can gate, and keep my dog separate if need) Your pet will be taken out for a run or walk at least 4x a day (usually 4-9 times with pictures)! Schedule: I take your/our dog out first thing in the morning, break, lunch, then around 3-4pm, around/after dinner time, and right before bedtime too ( update you with photos)! I will spend time with your dog/cat/pet. I will sit with, read to, massage, clean, comb, feed and pet (constantly check on, if they don’t want to be disturbed)! Even while I read to my kids, homeschool or while we watch tv at night. And my dog will be gated, separated, away from your dog/pet when we are out and when requested. I left my 911 emergency call taking position to be a stay at home mother. I would love to care for, walk, play, cuddle with your dog and take your dog to the park with us too ! *** ONLY DOGS UNDER 35lbs at this time. Thank you*** I have a lot of room, space, toys, pillows, blankets for your pup/dog/cat/pet (separated away from our dog), open concept spacious house, and animal-friendly neighborhood. I live in a cul-de-sac with extremely caring sweet neighbors that know me/us. Several families around us have animals of their own and I know most dogs have been trained or gone thru training as well as ours. I will text or email you pictures and FaceTime your dog/pet too if you like. Your dog/pet is unique and special to you so I will do my best to help. I will keep your dog/pet on a leash every time we go outside, so they don't go missing or let other dogs bother them ***Off leash free to run roam inside the house ***! Our dog is up to date with all shots, vet visits, and takes medication for tick/flee, heart worms. We give our dog a shower once every other week and when she gets muddy. I can help clean your dog/pet too, let us know!

About: Hello, I graduated from Grant Career Center’s veterinary science program in 2024 where I learned all about animal handling along with grooming and dog training. I personally love the older pups as I have a 18 year old Jack Russel myself. Im currently working part time at a doggy boarding facility but the hours just aren’t keeping me afloat. I need a side hustle and I refuse to do anything non animal related 💜 I have a huge fenced in yard for my 3 dogs (2 small 1 large), I also like to walk my cats outside so they can have time outside as well. I clean my cats 4 litter boxes twice a day (otherwise there’s issues).

About: I’m a dependable, caring pet lover who treats every dog like family. I understand that every dog has their own personality, energy level, routine, and comfort level, and I take the time to build trust and make each walk a positive experience. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of different sizes, ages, and temperaments, including energetic dogs who need plenty of exercise, as well as senior dogs who may prefer a slower, more relaxed pace. I’m attentive to body language and behavior and prioritize your pet’s safety and comfort at all times. Whether your dog needs an active walk, some extra exercise and playtime, or simply companionship while you’re away, I’ll provide dependable care and plenty of attention. I’m also happy to follow your instructions closely regarding feeding, medications, routines, leash preferences, and other special needs. My goal is for you to feel completely comfortable knowing your dog is in caring, responsible hands while you’re away. I'm currently in a remote position making my scheduling flexible, thus my schedule is open all 7 days throughout the week. I look forward to hearing what you need! Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for your pet. I treat every dog with patience, kindness, and respect while making sure they feel comfortable and secure in their environment. For walks, I use safe leash-handling practices and stay attentive to my surroundings, other animals, traffic, and anything that could make a pet uncomfortable or unsafe. I never rush a dog and adjust the pace and length of the walk based on their age, energy level, and individual needs. When caring for pets in their home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable while you're away. I’m respectful of your home, keep doors and gates securely closed, and make sure your pet has access to fresh water and anything else you’ve provided for their care. I’ll keep you updated throughout the visit and communicate promptly if I notice anything unusual with your pet. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and being cared for as if they were my own.

“Maddie is great! My cat instantly recognized her love for animals when he approached her :) I got cute photos and details of the walks. She is patient with my senior dog who needs extra time going up the stairs which is much appreciated.”

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life! I have 13 years of 4-H experience, which has helped me build a strong understanding of animal care, responsibility, and handling animals with patience and love. I’ve also pet sat for others and enjoy making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. In addition to cats and dogs, I’m available for farm sitting and caring for a variety of animals. I treat every animal as if they were my own and want you to have peace of mind knowing your animals are in loving, dependable hands! I am currently an online college freshman, I occasionally work for my mom at her flower shop, but I am available almost all the time to help care for your pet needs! I do not offer boarding, or sitting in my own home. I offer sitting in your home, this includes overnights or just simple drop-ins. I also offer dog walking, or farm sitting!

About: Hello, my name is Jordan. I am a pet sitter based in Mount Orab, Ohio! I have 4 cats and a little Chiweenie Puggle with my boyfriend. I often take care of strays around the neighborhood and have even taken in a few. I work to advocate for those who don't have a voice. I enjoy walking in the outdoors! Perfect for your little pup full of energy. I have always had a passion for animals since I was little, accumulating a lot of pet care experience under my belt with smaller animals over the course of a decade. I always treat every furbaby as if they are my own. I cannot wait to meet yours, they will have my full heart and attention! Always up to answer those questions and concerns, you can rely on me to be there for you and your dog. I tend to specialize in small dogs and other small animals. I have a fairly flexible schedule due to working for myself currently, making plenty of time for your pet throughout the week Monday through Sunday as well as most holidays! I care for the pets in and around my home by feeding with set schedules, cleaning up any messes created, scooping litterboxes everyday, cleaning food bowls, walking my dog multiple times throughout the day, crating my dog at night, as well as keeping them enriched and entertained!

About: I have always had pets growing up when I was younger and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in pet care is caring for my own pets and caring for family, friends and I also have volunteered at shelters as well. My husband and I only have one dog. She is a GoldenDoodle/Labradoodle but we get her cut like a standard doodle and she is our world. I love training/exercising with her everyday and she pushes me to be the best that I can be. With our fur baby she gets a long walk in the morning, breakfast and lots of lovings. I do work a full time job in healthcare during the week Monday- Friday 8:00-4:30pm but I’m fully open on weekends. When I come home she gets a long walk, lots of play time outside, dinner and after dinner we take a long walk. I’m very cautious in all of my surroundings. Making sure every dog is securely leashed and properly walked or if you do have a fence I will follow any rules that abide.

“Nina is very professional dependable and trustworthy. She is wonderful to our dog”

About: I have been in the animal care business for the last 10 years. I personally have a very loved dog that I have cared for, for the last 11 years. On top of caring for my family’s pets over the last 16 years. I work full-time with several days working from home. I know how important an animals schedule is and would do everything to maintain that so the pet’s routine is not affected. My dog and kitten get everything the want and everything I think they need 🤣. Leaving your animal in the trust of me would guarantee that the things you want done for your family are completed. These can include walks, playing with certain toys, or the use of certain leashes or collars.

About: I’ve been an animal lover since I can remember, began working with them in my teens, and am excited to continue building connections and care for pets in my community. I have a flexible work schedule and enjoy being productive and active in my free time. I’m here to help in any way I can! Safety and trust are paramount to me. Communication with owners ensures my safety, as well as your furry family member’s. Always willing to answer any questions or concerns!

About: I have a Great Dane named Sadie! I truly believe thats pets are like family and they should be treated as such😁Sadie and I have the most incredible bond and I love taking her everywhere with me. Her favorite things are going on a car ride or going to the open fields behind our house!! I have frequently pet sit for my neighbors and always treat their dogs/pets as if they were my own. I also make sure I send updates and lots of pictures! I worked in a pet store as one of my first jobs and loved every second of it! Animals are one of my biggest passions and their safety and happiness are my top priority. I am available for walks or to check in on your pets while you are away! I can also have pets in my home! Feel free to reach out, I am a quick responder. I cant wait to meet your fur babies❤️❤️❤️ I currently work as a Registered Behavior Technician. I provide one on one therapy for children with autism and help guide them into the school environment! My schedule varies, however when I am not working there I would love to be with your pets!! I am available to stay overnight at your house/go to your house frequently during the day to check on your pet! I make sure to treat pets with the same love and attention they get from their owners, keeping their routine and ensuring they feel safe and happy in their home environment.

About: The things that separate me from other sitters are my active lifestyle, strong communication, adaptability/ flexibility and silliness! I love to go hiking, running, swimming at the family lake, explore dog parks and other fun activities while sitting. Options are endless and will keep you posted with fun photos, videos and other messages to make sure you know your pet is safe. I do not ADD ANY STRESS. Quite the opposite. I am here to help and relieve the stress of boarding your pet. And I'm okay with being scheduled same day or same day cancellation. I understand things come up, please just try and be certious and thoughtful though with lack of communication. (Please be aware that my rates are subject to change based on my availability, commute to/from work, time spent with the dog and many other factors. Please not that I do NOT make as much as you pay, rover app takes a good chunk out of what you pay. Graituity and tips are highly encouraged if you want quality care and repeat stays/ watches. ) My rule of thumb: I aim to make about $75-$125/ day for house sitting and animal care. I am to make about $25/ hour so that would require me to spend about 4-5 hours on ruotine pet car (walks, feeding, taking out, medicine, adventures + household chores ect.) I have to factor in gas money, taxes, and rover fees so please consider that when booking. I am willing to go the extra mie and make your dog's stay a vacation and spend all day with them, I just expect to be fault comensated. Some dogs (+multiple dogs, cats ect.) require lots more attention than others. I find it very hard to work full time and pet/ house sit. As I am trying to move away from my other job and pet sit closer to full-time. I love animals but they are lots of work, as we know! Please be curtious and respectful of my time and love I show your pets. I am currently working part-time as a rideshare driver and am part-time student in grad school to get my masters in psychology. And back living at my parents house with a big yard in the basement to play in. When I am pet sitting I revolve my life around the needs of the pet and adapt my schedule to their potty breaks and eating habits. Like I said, I'm flexible and easygoing and luckily don't have too much on .y plate right now besides studying and private rides mostly at night! I have backup as well with my cousin who lives with me. Leashes all the time if they could get away or in public. I have a stand outside with a long leash for extended outside time but am usually just side-by-side the pet most of the time so they are in good eyes. Clean environment, no drugs, no partying, no garbage laying around. (I live with my parents currently in Montgomery, OH and they are on board as well as they love pets too!)

About: I am a dog and cat owner. I am very responsible and fun. I think that pets are not just “pets” and that they are family and should be taken care of as so. I have experience watching three different families animals. I watched a families dog for 3 months when they went over seas. I try my best to be flexible but I do attend nursing school. Outside of my classes I typically have an open schedule. I am dependable when it comes to being punctual and completing any and all tasks. I set goals for myself and I always give 110 percent in whatever I am doing. I am comfortable with any sized dog and also any other pets. I am also comfortable with any age of the animal that I am taking care of. I work from home and build my own schedule. I have flexibility in my schedule to take pets to dog parks and out for a long walk. I respect that pets are most comfortable in their own space with their own smells and routines. I follow your instructions closely — from feeding times and walk routes to any quirks or commands your pet knows. I treat your home with care and always leave it exactly as I found it.

About: As a full time animal lover & caretaker I know how hard it can be leaving your furry family member behind! I focus on creating a safe, comfortable & loving environment for them. Each animal has its own set of unique qualities, quirks and personality! As someone who has grown up on a farm, horseback ridden, worked in an animal shelter & rescued - i’ve received the pleasure of experiencing it all! I have deeply enjoyed getting to watch each animal display every quality. During my time with your animal you can expect lots of updates, feeding, fresh water, spoiling with treats and lots of love! I provide both drop- in visits and overnights! As a full time animal caretaker, I am very flexible throughout the day to provide the best care possible for your furry companions! I typically accept same day requests with proper notice. I currently do not wish to board dogs at my place. I am more than willing to come to your home to best care for your animals. If you have a schedule for your pets, I request that be written down ahead of time. To best ensure your pets get all the care they need as if you were there.

About: Hi! I’ve had dogs my entire life, and for the last five years I’ve been the “call Lacey, she’ll do it!” pet sitter for family and friends. I’m obsessed with animals, and I take spoiling them very seriously. I love being outside, so your pup will get all the walks, sniff breaks, and adventures their heart desires. Your pets will get cuddles, playtime, and very special treatment every time! I also go by the name “Lu” so if you hear me called that it’s still me! I work full-time as a server, but I still have a flexible schedule and make plenty of time to give your pets the love and attention they deserve. I truly enjoy spending time with animals, so feel free to reach out anytime—I’d love to help care for your furry friends! I personally have a fenced in yard and two friendly doggies. One is 8 years old and the other is 2. I can do whatever your pets need!
