Dog Walking Barberton

About: My family had a couple dogs growing up. I don’t remember a lot about the first but I would walk the second dog whenever I could. There wasn’t a time where I didn’t enjoy walking with her. The next thing I know, my aunt left behind a cat for us. I fed him each morning and night. He was a shy cat but happened to warm up to me quickly. Whenever he got a chance, he’d lay down on my lap. My family ended up with a Rover account. I walked those dogs and fed them whenever one of my family members couldn’t. Recently, we got a couple of cats. I feed these babies each morning and night. Typically I would do their litter too, yet, my family has the blessing of a cat genie. With every animal I’ve met, I make sure they get the attention they deserve, need, and want! Petting and playing around with cats and dogs is one of my favorite things to do. Or I could do the opposite if your animal doesn’t like to be pet! My schedule is really flexible, as I am currently unemployed but hoping I can find something. I am available for any kind of sit or drop in, whether it’s for just one day or for a long while. I like to go climbing and bowling with my boyfriend and friends but I’m stunted with a minor foot problem for the time being. Unfortunately I won’t be able to watch any clients’ pets at my house. In my home, I put my best effort towards my pets to make sure they feel safe in our home. I play with them and let them rest where they find it comfortable. In any of my clients homes, I respect their wants and needs for how their animal should be taken care of. I ask that someone tell me if their dog is potty trained, if they are allowed on couches/furniture, and how often they need to be taken on a walk. I’ll give a lot of play time, pets and belly rubs to the dogs and cats!

“Jessica did a great job with Toby! We really appreciated her taking the time to come meet him first and make sure he was comfortable. The walk went great and we appreciate the cute pictures!”

“Elaine was wonderful! She filled in as Sharpie’s dog walker, and I couldn’t have been happier with the care she provided. Sharpie can be a little particular, and Elaine was patient, reliable, and clearly experienced with dogs. She kept me updated, was always on time, and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I would absolutely recommend Elaine to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dependable dog walker. Thank you, Elaine, for taking such great care of Sharpie!”

About: Hello! I am 27 years old, and I've always been surrounded by animals, whether they were mine or a friend's. I've cared for all sorts of animals, from fluffy to scaley. I have a soft spot for big personalities, and senior animals. Caring for a dog or cat that requires extra care, whether due to age/health/tempermant, is something I actually really enjoy. I take a lot of pride in having a lot of patience with animals, but I'm also happy to enforce routine and structure for their own benefit! Due to seasonal work, I'm not currently as available as I'd like to be, and will be working a sporadic schedule for the next few months. But other than that, I do my best to be available for whatever the pet needs, whether it be feeding, cleaning litter, taking them on walks, or sitting overnight. My goal is keeping your home just as clean as you left it, and your pet happier! I'm generally a tidy, quiet person so no worries about disturbing the neighbors, and if your dog has special treats or toys I'd love to hear about them!

About: Hi there! My name is Janesia, and I have over 10 years of experience house sitting and pet sitting for family and friends, along with two years of trusted experience here on Rover. I currently have four lovable furry friends of my own—one sweet dog and three adorable cats—so I truly understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pets. I’m experienced with administering medications, caring for senior pets, and working with dogs who have anxiety or need a little extra patience and love. No matter the age, breed, or special need, all animals are welcome to be cared for and loved on in my care! I currently work part-time, averaging about 25 hours a week with 8-hour shifts, which gives me the flexibility to provide reliable, attentive care. I’m also planning to start college soon to pursue a career in medical school, so caring for animals is not only a passion but also a fulfilling and flexible part of my journey. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or overnight stays, I treat every pet like family. I look forward to meeting you and your furry companions! Pet care fits into my daily life because I have a German shepherd corgi who is around 7 years old and 3 cats of various ages! I love love animals of all kinds! I work day shifts part time and attend college online so I have plenty of extra time to lend some helpful paws! I like to say I spoil my animals haha I buy them collars/toys that coordinate with the holidays, I give them toys that also help with mental stimulation during the day and I go on daily (2/3 times) walks with my dog and cats. When it comes to watching someone’s animals I treat them like one of my own!

“Emily did great for a first meeting and walk with our pup. She can be slow to warm up and Emily was patient and very honest and communicative with how the visit went. Appreciate the extra step of cleaning up a mess our kitties made that wasn’t on the bill!”

“Today was more of a meet and greet with my senior dog. Jack’s got some behavioral issues and isn’t the best with new people. Lyla was great. She had a very calming energy. Jack warmed up to her and was able to settle down and relax in her presence.”

“Jocelyn was absolutely amazing with Duchess. This was my first time using Rover and I was really nervous. Jocelyn was good with Duchess and walked me through the process to help ease my anxiety. 10 out of 10 recommend her anytime!”

About: I currently have two cats but have also had dogs. I’m experienced with big dogs as my last was a great dane/ german shepherd mix. I’m not afraid of the litter box I’m happy to deal with any pet’s idiosyncrasies. I’m currently between jobs so I have plenty of time to play with your puppies and pet your cats! I’’ll be quickly available and can take as much time as your pets need. I will be primarily doing pet drop ins, where I’ll quickly pop in to feed and exercise your pets. I can also take a longer time during any visit if needed.

“Kelly was pleasant and trustworthy, and gave good feedback on walks with my dog. Would definitely recommend.”

About: I’ve had pets all my life—countless cats, three dogs, two parakeets, fish, and two ferrets. I worked for PetSmart for a year, caring for their animals, and have experience with sick pets. I volunteered at my local Humane Society for a while as a dog walker, and I owner-trained my current dog, a retired/at-home service dog. I’m currently free the majority of the day and at night. As long as I have enough time to take care of my own pup at home, I can arrange my schedule around taking care of your pets, too! I’m a big fan of maintaining routine for pets whose people are out of town. I like to follow a schedule for feedings and walks and to maintain a training routine if that’s part of your life!

About: Have had dogs my whole life. Grew up on a ranch with working dogs. Was a 4-H leader and showed Bernese Mountain Dogs. Ellie and Beau are my Corgi kids. I live by myself with my dogs. Enjoy walking and kayaking with my pups. I am very attentive with behaviors and show grace with gentle corrections. There will be lots of cuddle and playtime at my home. I am a school bus driver so I get up early feed and short walk the dogs, go to work come home in 2-3 hours then we go on a nice long walk (weather permitting) then head back to work after being home for 3-4 hours. Run the bus for a couple hours then back home around 5 pm. Feed then short walk before bed. All over night stays comes with free walks. I understand some breeds only need short walks while others enjoy more. I am able to adjust based on their responses or owners desires. I have a fenced in small back yard with gazebo. There is a doggie door for small dogs. Water available inside and outside. Crating available if desired by owner. . I also put up a dog x-pen so nobody gets near the front door for safety. My house is minimal due to having the house on the market. Not a lot of stuff dogs can get into. I never book multiple clients at one time, four max is enough at a time for me. If I do step out for something I will have a house monitor that will be in two places so I can check in and feel confident all is well while I am gone. I am never gone more than a couple hours at a time unless previously conveyed to owner.

“Alura was thankfully and very gratefully able to fit my baby girl into her schedule immediately. While my pup was a little skiddish at first, she warmed up to Alura and was able to go on her walks while I was recovering.”

About: I have years of experience caring for dogs, including my own. I’ll follow your pet’s routine, provide lots of love and attention, and keep them happy and safe while you’re away. My schedule is flexible, and I’ll make time to give your pet plenty of attention, exercise, potty breaks, and care. I’ll also send regular photo updates! Your pet’s safety comes first. I’ll carefully follow your instructions, provide a safe and loving environment, and keep you updated with photos for peace of mind.

“Francisca was amazing! She went above and beyond while I went out of town for 7 days. I was so anxious to leave my pup alone and Francisca made me feel so comfortable. She gave great daily communication and updates. She took my pup to run some errands and even spent extra time with my pupper after the walks to make her feel safe (My dog and I have never been apart that long). I could see on the house camera that she treated my pup/my home with such respect and treated my pup and if she were her own. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Francisca to another seeking a walker/sitter and I will definitely be using her in the future! I think I even made a friend! ?❤️”

About: I've been surrounded by pets my entire life there's always been a dog, cat, running around. I've learned how to handle all sorts of personalities and needs, whether it's a super energetic puppy or a chill old-timer who just needs some company and a good scratch. My family always trusted me with them so I've been the go to for feeding, walking, playing, and just generally making sure they're happy and safe. I’m currently working afternoons so I’d be able to have morning appointments and a couple days where I have the whole day available. I’ve taken care of animals my whole life so it’s pretty easy for me and following whatever instructions you have for your animals.

About: I've spent the last 14 years working in veterinary medicine, caring for pets through every stage of life—from energetic puppies to senior companions and pets with medical needs. I'm comfortable administering medications, monitoring pets with chronic health conditions, and recognizing when something doesn't seem quite right. What I enjoy most is getting to know each pet as an individual. Every animal has their own personality, routine, and little quirks, and I believe those details matter. My goal is to provide the same level of thoughtful, compassionate care I'd want for my own pets, so you can enjoy your time away knowing they're in capable hands. Pet care is already a big part of my everyday life. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to provide consistent care, plenty of attention, and regular updates throughout the day. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, enrichment activities, playtime, or simply having someone nearby for company, I'm happy to adjust my care to fit their routine. My goal is to make your pet feel as comfortable as possible while you're away. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and any medical or behavioral needs before every booking. If your pet is staying in my home, they'll have plenty of opportunities for play, enrichment, rest, and affection in a calm environment. To help keep everyone safe—including my own two dogs—I currently only accept small dogs (up to 30 lbs) for boarding and daycare, and I require a meet-and-greet before every boarding stay. If I'm caring for your pet in your home, I do my best to keep their daily routine as consistent as possible while respecting your home and following your instructions carefully.
