Dog Walkers in Alpha, OH

“Super easy to work with and the dogs were excited each time he came over to walk them. By the end of the Walk they were always tired and ready to take a nap when they came back to the house. A great help for me when I was not able to do walking for a little while. Will definitely use him again”

About: I have been surrounded my animals growing up and have always loved playing with them, going on walks, and making them feel loved. We are our pets most important thing in their life, so I feel that it is important to make sure our pets feel just as loved. My summer schedule is fairly consistent, which allows me to plan pet care reliably throughout the week. I’m available most mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends depending on the day, and I’m happy to coordinate with owners to find a schedule that works best for them and their pets. I am able to drive to your house and care for not only your pets but also your home. I have a gated backyard and trail rapped around my neighborhood perfect for walking.

“Beth was amazing really allowed us to have a fun night and not worry about our dogs! She was amazing highly recommended and will be using again!”

About: I have taken care of animals for as long as I can remember! I currently have two dachshunds and am also the designated sitter for three cats who belong to my brothers, so I have a love for both! I’ve grown up with pets my whole life and love surrounding myself with them. I’ve had lots of experience sitting for pets, ranging from German shepherds to kittens. I have lots of experience working with puppies and senior dogs. I am currently at home full time for the rest of the summer before I start my first year at law school this fall! I wanted to have a relaxing and fun next couple of months before starting possibly the hardest journey of my life, and I thought no better way to do that then spend time with animals. I’m always out walking, especially during the summer and would love to have a cute furry friend to accompany me! Since I am home full time, I am very flexible and have the ability to provide lots of love and care toward your pets. I’ve just recently finished up my internship, so I am available most weekdays. Mornings and early afternoons work best for me, but I am flexible! I always make sure my pets feel loved and cared for. My parents travel a lot and rely on me to be with the dogs 24/7 which I gladly do. I make sure to take them on walks (long enough that their little legs can handle). I’ve realized that a lot more dogs than expected have separation anxiety, so I always try to be as present as possible for them! The same applies for cats. I understand cats can vary when it comes to personality and temperament, and that has helped me understand the best approaches for them and how to interact in a way that is respectful to them.

About: Hi there! My name is Alyssa. I absolutely love animals and I would be so excited to help you care for your fur babies. I have always had a soft spot for animals. My husband and I have rescued five cats that were in need of a loving home. My passion is to take care of any animal I can help. Frequently, I will find stray animals and make sure to have shelter, food, and water available for them and try to care for them as my own. Throughout my life, I have always lived in a household with cats and dogs. I can’t wait to meet your furry loved ones!🐾 I am available to check in on your pets anytime during the week and the weekends. Just let me know how often you would need me to stop by. I will always make sure to be respectful of a clients home and treat their animals the way I would want mine treated. I will always stay kind and caring toward your animals. I will always respect house rules and make sure I have taken care of the pets to the best of my ability.

About: I’ve worked with rescue dogs for several years, which has given me experience with puppies, seniors, and nervous dogs with different needs and personalities. I’m comfortable with giving medications if needed and helping reinforce things like crate and potty training. My main focus is always patience and making sure each pet feels safe, understood, and cared for. I take the time to really learn each pet’s personality so I can meet them where they’re at and build trust at their pace. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy making time for in my day-to-day life! I’m organized and make it a priority to give each pet the attention and care they need while maintaining a consistent schedule. Even with classes starting up in the fall, I’ll still have the flexibility to provide reliable care and keep up with each pet’s routine. When caring for pets, my priority is keeping them comfortable by maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. I carefully follow all care instructions and make sure each pet gets plenty of attention, affection, and care. My goal is to create a safe, stress-free experience where pets can feel relaxed, happy, and well cared for in the comfort of their familiar surroundings.

About: I’ve always been a dog lover and give my sweet pup Attie all the love in the world. I grew up with dachshunds and currently have a 8–year-old mixed breed, who we adopted. My husband and I trained Attie with positive reinforcement to ensure her obedience without taking away from her fun-loving spirit. I love meeting and bonding with the dogs I sit, and I would love to open my home to your pets. My availability during the summer months is flexible. I am a full-time teacher, so during the school year, my availability is limited, but I am willing to work with clients to figure out the best plan that will work for you and your dog. Dogs must be crate-trained. I work full-time as a teacher, so Monday-Friday, pups need to be crated during the day for up to 8 hours while I’m at work. After work, I can provide walks and play. On the weekends, I’m open. I have a fenced yard and Attie, who loves meeting new dogs and making new friends. Dogs will need to be crated when no one is home and at night if not house trained.

About: I have a Jack Russell Terrier named Snoopy who loves long walks in the park and plenty of attention. I also have experience caring for Siberian Husky and a Shiba mix. Also taken care of gerbils, hamsters, turtles, and parakeets. I'm currently available with a flexible schedule. I enjoy taking care of dogs on long walks and playing fetch with them outside in the yard i have experienced dealing with a variety of dogs and pets. I have ample amount of experience giving dogs medicine that prescribed to them and feeding and giving plenty of water

“I’m a breeder for over 20 yrs, I don’t let just anyone watch my dogs. I am in California and one of my dogs was in Ohio with my son. I reached out to Liesa and she was amazing. I felt so comfortable, from a distance. Pictures , photos , truly amazing. My girl is not just my pet but next generation of service dogs. My dog is my family and I would recommend her any time!”

About: I grew up around dogs and I have experience in pet sitting for family and friends. I also have experience in training puppies and senior care. I am currently working part-time and I set my own schedule. I will have plenty of time to spend with your pet! I also love being outdoors and hiking with dogs I have a fenced yard with an indoor and outdoor security system. I prioritize safety and security. I also have an all season room I have used for temporary housing (strays and fosters).

About: I've had dogs ever since I was 10, but my experience with them goes far beyond that. When I was a little kid, before I ever had a dog, I would go to this read with a dog program called "Paws to Read." I would spend countless hours reading to the dogs and befriending them, along with a cat or two here and there. When I was 10, I got my first dog, a husky, and gave him a wonderful life. He had quite a few medical issues and behaved older for his age because of it, so I know how to provide senior pet care. He has since passed, but my two current dogs, one pitbull and one pitsky, remind me every day how important pets are to me. I've had them both for eight years now, during which we've taken numerous car rides, walks, enjoyed outside and inside playtime, movie nights, and anything a dog could dream of. Now, while I've never had a cat because of the majority of my family being allergic, I never turn away from a cat. I'm a regular at the Gem City Catfe, where I play with the cats often and have gone so often that they are comfortable with me. I keep cat and dog treats on me in case I come across a stray, because all cats and dogs deserve to feel some love. I've also dog-sat and house-sat for a few friends before, so I know how to handle situations like pets not getting along, bathroom accidents, and being a bit of a picky eater. Currently, I am a full time student and work full time at UDRI (UD's Research Institute) from 8:30am - 3:30am. During the summer I won't be taking any in person classes, just two online. But when I return to UD for my final year, I will be taking classes again and may be slightly more limited. When it comes to my pets and caring for clients pets, the comfort of the pet is most important to me. Personally, my two dogs don't get along with each other very well, so they typically have to be separated. Even so, I always make sure to treat them both equally and give them lots of love! If I take one for a car ride and ice cream, I bring ice cream back for the other and take the other for a car ride later that week. If my client has dogs similar to mine, who need to be separated, I would be sure to treat them equally and split my time with them according to my client's requests. Given single-pet households, I'd spend a lot of my time with them! In my downtime, I'd make sure to sit with them while I work on coursework. I'd be sure to take them on walks and go for potty breaks. And of course I'd make sure we get a lot of play time in and lots of love!

“Isabel did an awesome job communicating her time spent with Gemma! I loved seeing where they walked and getting a report on how Gemma did:) loved getting pictures throughout the day:). We will definitely ask Isabel to care for Gemma again!”

“She was excellent. Showed up on time, gave our dogs extra special treatment and gave them four days of great interaction while we were traveling from out of town. Can not recommend her enough.”

About: I have had pets my entire life, always having one dog and two cats. I have raised a kitten that came from a rough background, another kitten with anxiety, a deaf Boxer, a Frenchton puppy and have raised my own kitten in my college dorm. I also volunteer with 4Paws For Ability to train service dogs! I would love to take care of your furry family <3 I am currently on summer vacation from Wright State University, so I am free any time you need me! I can do any type of visit you need me to! I can bathe, walk, play and give your animal basic care. I have my own puppy so walks are something that I take frequently with him and I love to play with the dogs. No parties or any other people will be in your home while you are away and I will send daily updates of your pet!

About: My wife and I have been taking care of our dog and foster dogs for the past 6 years. We've taken care of dogs ranging in size of French bulldogs to Siberian huskies. We have experience with high maintenance dogs and giving medications as well. My wife and I currently work from home and have plenty of time to play and take care of your pups. During the week boarding availability is best in the evening after 5 but accommodations can be made if needed. Weekends are 100% free and open. I have a larger fenced in yard and great neighborhood for plenty of walks. I can easily crate your dog if needed as well. We have plenty of different dog toys and beds throughout the house too.

About: I have a special dog who has experienced intense anxiety. It has taught me patience and sympathy and has changed my life in very unique ways. I have grown to understand animals in a much more compassionate way. I work full time but I am in a less demanding season of the year and would love to help. I would love to use that time to assist others the same way Rover has assisted me. I am considerate of their personal boundaries and show as much love as I can to keep them comfortable in every way. The goal is to build trust

“Haley has been awesome! She makes sure my pup goes on nice long walks and is given her snack and well taken care of. My pup loves the extra belly rubs and attention too! I’ve already booked Haley for next week!”

“Risa was great! Communicates in a timely manner and was willing to come meet our pup prior to our scheduled day since it was his first time with her.”
