Dog Walking Akron

About: We’re an empty nest couple with no children or other pets in the home. We recently lost our beloved dog and while we’re enjoying the freedom of not having a pet, we still love caring for furry friends! Our home has a fully fenced yard and we’re ready to provide a safe, loving environment for your dog while you’re away! We own a business and operate out of our home so there’s always someone around to give your pet attention, feedings and potty breaks throughout the day. We provide attentive, loving care for your pet. Dogs are let out on a regular schedule for potty breaks, exercise, and fresh air. Weather permitting, they’ll enjoy supervised playtime in our fenced in yard. We give plenty of attention, belly rubs and companionship so your pup feels safe.

“Rudy loves walks with Dina! Dina is respectful, communicates promptly and gives detailed updates about her scheduled times with Rudy. She is knowledgeable about dog handling and use of various tools/methods per owner’s request. I always feel that Rudy is safe, happy and well exercised while in Dina’s care. Highly recommend.”

I am comfortable with Dogs, Cats, Rodents, Aquatic, Reptiles, Farm Animals, etc. Just reach out and ask if you have a need you don't see listed!

About: Hi, I'm Bob – a retired non-profit professional and lifelong animal lover based in Ephrata, PA. With over 50 years of experience caring for dogs and other pets, I offer reliable, compassionate pet sitting services right in your neighborhood. Whether it's daily walking the dog, feeding or long-term caring, I am anxious to care for your pet. As someone who now has the time and flexibility to focus on what I love, I treat every pet like family. Over the years, I've cared for dogs of all sizes and temperaments – from energetic puppies to senior companions – and I'm happy to provide references from longtime pet owners who trust me with their beloved animals. Pet sitting fits perfectly into my lifestyle as a retired individual with a flexible schedule and a genuine love for animals. Without the demands of a 9-to-5 job, I have the time and energy to provide dedicated, one-on-one care to pets in a calm and comfortable environment. Whether it’s daily check-ins, overnight stays, or long walks, I’m able to adjust to your pet’s routine and needs — and I truly enjoy the companionship they bring into my life. For me, this isn’t just a side job — it’s a meaningful way to stay active, helpful, and connected to the community. Some pets are happiest in their own surroundings — and I’m happy to come to them. I offer drop-in visits, walks, or extended stays depending on your needs. While you're away, I’ll keep your pet’s routine consistent and provide updates, photos, and peace of mind. I respect your home and your pet’s habits and will treat both with the same care and responsibility I’d expect for my own.

About: I have taken care of dogs in one way or another for most of my life. I have had a pet, either a dog, cat, hamster or a horse all of my life. A couple of years ago I started sitting for friends pets and the last six months of last year I worked for a couple who ran a pet sitting business. I did dog walking, cat feeding and care, and some overnight visits. I am not an expert trainer but I went through all the puppy classes with my border collie and spent a couple of years training for agility. I am semi retired so I have a very flexible schedule. I work at home on my online business. I can easily accommodate pet sitting visits round my schedule. I am very cautious when taking care of other peoples pets because I know how important they are to their families. My own dog is a treasured part of our family.

About: My whole live I have always had animals and/or was surrounded by them. I have taken care of families pets and homes since I was around 10 and have had my own pet care experience since I was around 6. Pets are family. And with me, they will be treated as such! This summer my availability is open and flexible due to only working part time. I have a lot of weekends open and even more weekdays. During my time with your pets, I will focus on keeping them active and using enrichment techniques when needed. If you have pets with a bit more anxiety, we can also relax at home.

About: I raised my own dog and best friend from when I was just a little girl! She lived until 16 years old so I have experience with my own pup from puppy to elder! I’m also a former but recent manager at a doggy daycare and boarding center with experience in medications, special feeding, some behavior issues and lots of dogs (and cats) in all shapes and sizes! I also have guinea pigs of my own and pocket pet experience. Full time RN so I have plenty of free time and MISS my daily dose of animals! Please let me love on your babies 💗 I work full time but usually have quite a bit of free time to hang out with pups (or cats or pocket pets!) who need that extra love and care! My own home does not allow animals but I am happy to offer any other services for your animals! I have experience in all kinds of situations through my pet care manager job of several years.

About: As a lifelong animal lover, I’ve cared for a wide range of pets — from cats and dogs to small animals. I have three dogs of my own, so I understand the importance of routine, patience, and genuine love when it comes to pet care. My dogs currently live with my parents 2 miles down the road from me! My experience includes handling multiple pets at once, caring for senior dogs, and understanding different personalities and energy levels. I treat every pet like family and always go the extra mile to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I work early mornings at Hershey Hospital and typically finish around 4:30 PM, which gives me plenty of time for evening walks, drop-ins, and overnight care if needed. On my days off, I’m fully available for daytime care as well. I’m happy to work with your schedule to make sure your pets get the care and attention they deserve! For the safety and comfort of your pets, I care for them in their own familiar environment — your home — where they feel most relaxed and secure. I follow all of your instructions carefully to keep their routine as normal as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special needs they may have. I always prioritize their well-being and treat your home and pets with the utmost respect and care.

“She arrives with a smile and on time. She walks our 77lb pup with no problem. Our dogs truly do like het and warmed up to her quickly. We are pleased with Barb. She will be used going forward as both a dog walker and dog sitter. - Jenn”

About: I potty trained my dog. I can get dogs at ease and occupy them well. I'd say i'm better with younger dogs but I can take care of older dogs as well. I work part time but I wake up at 7am and let Max out. I then feed him and occupy him for a bit until I have to leave for 4 hours and let him out before leaving. When I Get back I take him for his walk and then give him his nightly bone. Before going to bed I let him out again. I have a huge yard so he can run around, not fenced but he is trained to stay in the area. He has toys everywhere and he's allowed to lay in furniture so he sleeps a lot as well. In client houses I'd do whatever they are comfortable with. I can go outside, stay inside, walk or run with them just let me know !

“Thank you so very much for the excellent care. I look forward to using your services again and again.”
