Dog Walking Afton

About: I’ve grown up with dogs all my life and I’am a cat mom at this time. I’ve had several different kitties over the last 30 years and currently I have 2 with the oldest being 15. I’ve lovingly cared for my kitties managing their daily needs, health, and playtime. This hands on experience has taught me to understand feline behaviors and needs, from administering medication to creating a nurturing environment. I’m passionate about all animals, eager to provide the same attentive, tailored care to your fur babies , ensuring they feel safe and loved. Since I’m retired at this time my schedule is fully flexible to prioritize your pets’ needs. I’m available anytime for walks & drop-in care ensuring your furry friends receive consistent, attentive love and attention. I prioritize your pet’s safety and comfort in their own home, maintaining their routine with attentive care. With experience from my 2 cats, I ensure a secure , loving environment during drop-in visits or walks, keeping you updated with photos and clear communication to build trust.

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).

“Dave is fabulous! He's a personable guy, who was wonderful to my dog. And, he showed up on time, every time, regardless of the weather. I am very pleased that Rover.com connected us and I truly appreciated Dave's help in my time of need. I would most definitely engage Dave's services again and I would highly recommend him to others needing help with their companion animals.”

About: Hi! I'm Shosuke from Batavia, OH. I've been pet sitting for over 3 years and love spending time with dogs and cats! I have experience in dog sitting, dog walking, administering medicine, and feeding. I currently have a German Shepherd named Cosmos and used to have a Pomeranian named Ponta, so I'm comfortable with pets of all sizes. I'll treat your furry friends like my own!

About: I've been caring for dogs for over 12 years and currently have two dogs of my own. I understand how important routines, exercise, and attention are for every pet. Whether it's a drop-in visit or a walk, I treat every dog like one of my own. I provide fresh water, feeding, potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and plenty of affection while following your pet's normal routine. You'll also receive updates and photos during every visit so you always know how your pet is doing. Caring for dogs is part of my everyday life.

About: Hi! I’m Heather — a stay-at-home foster mom, runner, dog lover, and experienced foster/service dog handler based in Batavia, Ohio. After years in corporate recruiting, I’m finally leaning into a life that feels a little more like me — being home with our foster son, spending more time with dogs, being outside, going on walks, and building something slower and more meaningful here in Ohio. Dogs have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve helped foster and raise more than 50 dogs over the years, including service dogs in training, and I’m also a certified volunteer through the Clermont County Animal Shelter where I walk dogs, take dogs on day trips, and foster here in Ohio. Before moving here, I also helped watch and walk dogs for friends, family, neighbors, and foster connections in Minnesota. I genuinely love all breeds and personalities and really enjoy getting to know what makes each dog unique. Since I’m home most of the day, dogs here get lots of supervision, outdoor time, enrichment, walks, naps, snuggles, and attention throughout the day. We also have a fully fenced yard and two friendly Labs that love having dog friends around. I know how hard it can be leaving your dog with someone else, so I’m big on communication and love sending lots of photo updates throughout their stay so you know they’re happy, safe, and loved while you’re away. Dogs receive regular potty breaks, supervised outdoor time, meals on their normal schedule, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention throughout the day. Because I’m not away for long workdays, pets spend very little time alone and are part of our family’s daily activities. Safety is my top priority. We have a fully fenced yard and two friendly Labrador Retrievers who are used to having other dogs around. I’ve fostered and raised more than 50 dogs, including service dogs in training, and I’m comfortable managing different personalities, routines, crate schedules, medications, and introductions. Meet & greets are required before all new boarding stays so we can make sure everyone is comfortable and it’s a good fit for both your dog and our home. I want every dog to feel safe, successful, and stress-free during their stay.

About: Aloha! I want to help you and your family member (dog/pet) 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, 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 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 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 pet, be aware and careful 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 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: I’ve loved and cared for animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up with cats, and now I have a dog who’s truly part of my family. Since I was 10 years old, I’ve also been the go-to pet sitter for my neighbors whenever they go out of town, making sure their dogs are walked, fed, and, most importantly, loved while they’re away. Being around animals has always brought me so much joy, and I take pride in treating every pet like they’re my own, giving them the care, comfort, and attention they deserve. I will be nannying over the summer on some Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays until around 4 pm so on the days that I am nannying I will be free any time after 4. But on other days I will be free all day long. Whether it’s taking your dog for a walk, letting them out for a potty break, or just giving them some extra love and attention, I’d be happy to help keep them happy while you’re away. When caring for pets in your home, I treat them like part of my own family. I make sure they’re comfortable, safe, and happy by sticking to their usual routine, whether that means walks, feeding, playtime, or just some extra snuggles. I know how important it is for pets to feel secure in their own space, so I always give them plenty of love and attention while keeping your home just the way you left it.

About: I have experience caring for both dogs and cats and truly enjoy spending time with animals. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m attentive to each pet’s personality and routine, whether they’re energetic or prefer a calm, relaxed environment. Im currently working a part time job, but I’m free on Sundays and Mondays and i’m available on Fridays and Saturdays to take care of your pets! Sunday Morning: 7:00 AM – 11:00 AM (Great for walks & drop-ins) Afternoon: 1:00 PM – 5:00 PM Evening: 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM Monday Morning: 6:30 AM – 10:00 AM (Perfect for workday walks) Afternoon: 12:00 PM – 3:00 PM Evening: 4:00 PM – 6:30PM Friday Evening: 4:00 PM – 6:00 PM Saturday Evening: 4:00 PM – 6:00 PM Your pet’s safety and happiness are very important to me. I always follow the owner’s instructions for feeding, walks, and routines to keep pets comfortable and stress-free. I treat every pet with patience, care, and attention like they’re my own.

About: I worked as a Veterinary Assistant for over 20 years and just recently decided to stay home with my kids full time. Pet sitting has always been something I’ve done on the side for family and friends, but now that I have more time available, I’m very excited to be able to love and care for your fur babies just like they were my own! I am currently available for daily walks and 2 potty breaks per day, and of course PLAY TIME! I also offer drop in services if you do not feel your pet needs a walk or additional exercise. I am available for any and all of your pet care needs, and with 20 yrs of previous veterinary experience, I am also comfortable giving both oral medications and injectables for diabetic patients. I love being around all animals because they provide a great sense of calm and familiarity for me. I always treat a client’s pet just as I would my own and they will receive endless love & attention while in my care. I do work part time during the week and have two young boys at home- while we are a very active family, I can usually carve out time even on work days for drop in visits or walks.

About: I have taken care of my own dogs and others dog's for over 10 years now. My family and I have 3 dogs currently and have owned 6 dogs throughout my life of varying sizes. I have dog sat and walked dogs for many of my friends and family over the years with the dogs being in size ranges as big as Great Danes down to little Griffons. In addition I have bathed and brushed dogs for years as well. I of course am also very affectionate towards any dogs, making sure to give them lots of pets and scratches. I will be available between 10 AM-6 PM every weekday unless specified otherwise, though days and hours are mutable and can be subject to change in the future. If I decide to change my hours/days all clients will be notified of the change with ample time to figure something out between us if need be. I will show your dog affection and make sure they have enough food and water as needed. I can also differ my services based off what my client needs. For example during a drop in I can wear out your overly excited puppy, I can clean your litterbox, or I can just lay down and chill with your older dog who just needs some pets and attention. I am easygoing and can work with any client.

“Avery is great! She was great when our house key was lost. She took our dog for the day and made sure he was taken care of and safe! Will definitely be booking with her in the future. (:”

About: What sets me apart is my experience caring for dogs of all ages and personalities. I currently pet sit for 6–7 different families, with dogs ranging from 8-week-old puppies to 14-year-old seniors. I also regularly help care for my sister’s dogs and have a German Shepherd of my own. I’m dependable, attentive, and treat every pet like family, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m currently on summer break from the University of Cincinnati, so I have a very flexible schedule. I also work a part-time remote job, which allows me to be home throughout the day and gives me plenty of availability for pet care. Whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, feeding, playtime, or overnight stays, I can easily fit pet care into my daily routine and make sure each pet gets the attention and care they need. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make it a priority to keep their routine as consistent as possible. I follow the owner’s instructions closely for feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and bedtime so pets feel comfortable and secure while their family is away. I also make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and exercise, and I keep the home clean and tidy. My goal is to make the experience as stress-free as possible for both the pets and their owners.

About: I am a very passionate, attentive, and empathetic person when it comes to any and all animals! For many years I have taken sole care of both dogs and cats of all different breeds, and am well experienced in all general pet care to include special needs pets. All of the dogs I ever had as a kid were trained as puppies almost solely by myself and my brothers. My mom used to make me read books and do online research about the breed of dog we had, different training techniques, K9 first-aid, and so much more. Being as passionate as I am about animals, those studies were well retained, and while I don't have professional experience, the knowledge gained from doing it on my own with 9 different dogs over my lifetime have graced me with at the very least, an in depth knowledge of all different stages of dog ownership. This knowledge was also accentuated professionally as I worked alongside military police K9 handlers during my time in the Air Force. Not to worry though, I mix structure, routine, and discipline with plenty of tender loving care, and know how to tune my approach to dogs of all temperaments. In regards to puppies: I have experience potty training, leash training, crate training, and what I would call experienced but moderate obedience training skills. I know how to deal with things like food aggression, how to properly establish the "hierarchy" or "pack mentality" and other conditioning behaviors. As well as handling young puppies, I've even assisted a momma in giving birth to a new litter, and taking special care of a brand new litter of 7 pups! So my experience with all dogs truly does begin at birth and goes all the way to end of life care. For the old timers: The couch potatoes in our lives need just as much, and sometimes even more care than their energetic and young counterparts. I have experience with things like giving medication and shots, managing specialty diets, and a number of other age specific needs. I'm very patient and am willing to take the time to get to know your pet and what they need. Every animal has a different personality and needs attention in different ways, and I'm very attentive to that! I will always treat your pet as if they were my own, and will to the best of my ability make sure that your pet is well taken care of at all times. I'm a full-time nomad and side gigs are my primary source of income. Pet care IS my weekly routine. I'm available and more than happy to abide by the normal 9-5 schedule for daytime pet care, but I can also easily adjust to fit any alternate schedule; whether you need overnight pet care, or any other odd schedule constraints met, I am available. I have lived with my own dog in a variety of different conditions. From being on our own in both houses and apartments, to having a full house of dogs and cats. I am well versed in any additional responsibilities and special care based on living situations, and have no trouble go up and down a few flights of stairs for potty breaks/walks, etc.

About: Hi! I'm Gwen, a lifelong dog lover and proud dachshund mom. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I treat every dog in my care like one of my own. I have experience with small breeds, senior dogs, puppies, and dogs that need extra patience and attention. What sets me apart is the amount of love, communication, and one-on-one care I provide. You'll receive regular updates, photos, and peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and loved while you're away. My goal is to make your pet feel at home and your time away stress-free. Pet care is already a big part of my daily life. As a dachshund owner, my days revolve around feeding schedules, exercise, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of attention and affection. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide frequent check-ins, walks, and companionship throughout the day. I understand the importance of maintaining a pet's routine and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I follow each owner's instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise routines, and any special care needs. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I provide a clean, safe, and loving environment with plenty of supervision, attention, and affection. I take time to learn each pet's personality, habits, and comfort level to help reduce stress and keep them feeling secure. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
