Dog Walkers in Belvidere, OH

About: I have been dog-sitting since I was 13 years old. I have experience with young and old and everything in between, as well as dogs with anxiety. I also have experience with providing medication to dogs. I like to stay in communication with the families while they are away and send lots of pictures/updates, because I know it's stressful being away from their babies. I am a full-time graduate student, so I spend most of my free time studying. I don't currently have any pets with me, so I decided to sign up for Rover to fill some of my time with animals and help care for them! This is a perfect side gig for me as it allows me to study while I hang out with your pets and take study breaks to play with them and take walks! I will not be able to care for pets in my own home, as my apartment does not allow pets. In my client's home, I always make sure I know where everything is for the pet(s) and have all the contact information I need should anything happen while you are away. I like to keep my own apartment tidy, so I ensure that I do the same in other people's homes and I will clean up after myself and the pet(s).

About: My experience includes taking care of pets for close family and friends since age 16. I am now 30 and have four healthy, happy, and playful boys of my own. I would love to drop in and check on your pets or go on fun walks! In my professional career, I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with a Master’s Degree. I love going on walks and runs, and would love to help make sure your pet gets their exercise! I make my own schedule as a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, and I have some weekday availability if I do not have clients scheduled! Even with clients scheduled, I have breaks throughout the day where I could find time to check in on your pets! If I do work, I have morning availability where I could take your pets on a nice morning walk! I always adhere to safety precautions when caring for my own pets. Whether it comes to walks, mealtime, potty breaks, etc., safety is so important!

“Maria has cared for my "spicy" dog for the past several months with weekly walks and drop in visits. She is prompt and a great communicator and he does really well with her. We highly recommended Maria!”

About: Through high school I work at an animal health store. I’ve also lived on a farm since a young age, in addition I have cared for my familles exotic petting zoo through my teens! While caring for some pretty cool animals species I’ve always loved dogs the most, and have loved every single one I’ve met! I work full time Monday-Friday in the afternoons between 2:30-10:30 p.m. I have lots of relatives near me that can let your furry friend out while I am away! My mornings are usually spent home, or spending time walking or running on trails! I have a large fenced in back yard and 1 very friendly mini poodle named Sandy to keep yours company! I can easily crate her if needed

About: I’ve had two dogs since the age of 3 that are still my best friends. I took on the responsibility of taking care of them at 10. I also work in the pet care department of Petsmart so I know how to care for almost any animal! I do well with snakes, Guinea pigs, hamsters, you name it, I’ve probably cared for it. I worked at Petsmart for a 1.5 years. I did dog grooming and worked in the animal department. I was able to care for animals everyday. I learned how to care for many small animals, reptiles, fish, and birds since working there and have done my own research outside of the job. I currently own one cat who is the light of my life. My family recently adopted a Great Dane, Rottie mix who has become my best friend. I currently live in a renovated duplex, so i unfortunately don’t have a yard for big dogs, but I don’t mind traveling! I love to take dogs for a brisk walk, get their energy out before you come home! I am close to many walking paths and don’t mind traveling for animals. I will make sure any and all directions left behind are followed. Animals are watched closely when needed and fed on time.

About: Hi! My name is Paris. I’ve been around animals for the majority of my life. My passion for pets kicked off when i got a job at Pet People in 2021. After a few years i decided to take up a career in dog training. Since then, i’ve picked up grooming, met my boyfriend (whom i share reptiles, amphibians, arachnids, canines, and felines with), and started my own business- Balanced Basics K9 Training, LLC. My business has really kicked off in the last two years so i’ve decided to open my horizons and add to my services i offer by offering drop ins and walks! I prioritize my clients pets above all else. Along with dog walking/ drop in services, I also work at a doggie daycare, offer grooming services, and dog training services! I’m also a member of the Army National Guard and Army Honor Guard. I fulfill my militant duties once a month at drill and whenever i’m needed for a funeral service. i prefer to walk only dogs that i’ve trained. this helps me have a better idea of their personality traits and what to expect when i take them out of their homes. if you need a hand getting your pup to act right on a leash- give me a call to set up some lessons! as far as drop ins go- i don’t require training but prefer to meet the pet with the owner so i can again, get a better understanding of their personality and what the do’s and don’t’s are with each pet. i like to take my time to get to know each of my clients and work every day to improve my relationship with all of the animals I meet!

About: I recently managed a Doggie Daycare / enrichment and boarding facility. I have just recently started a new part time job at a boarding facility - I live to enrich the lives of all breeds/ sizes of dogs and cats! I have a "small zoo" of my own at home, so I am constantly doing what I love - caring and enriching the lives of many different kinds of animals! With my current job schedule, I work a split shift. (7am-12pm, 3pm-6pm) During the time that I am not at work I would absolutely love to talk to work something out in order to care for the beloved parts of your family and treat them like my own! With my experience managing a daycare, enrichment/ boarding facility and currently working at a boarding facility, the safety/wellbeing and erichment of all animals is my number one priority. I am fully able to administer medications and abide by any feeding requests.

“Darla did a great job with my young dog. He had never been cared for by anyone but me, so I was anxious. Darla did a great job with him. When I returned home at the end of the day, he was calm and you could tell he had a good day. I was thankful Darla was able to care for him and he seemed to have had a good experience.”

About: Small to giant dogs welcome! Growing up on a farm I have found that each animal has their own unique needs, characteristics and personalities. I had been in 4-H for 7 years growing and expanding my knowledge on everything I had the chance to learn. From going to school to be a vet tech and working in the animal ER overnight, to general practice. Working on a horse farm and assisting in vet care, Working in a grooming salon and doggy day care, even doing behavior assessments and now running my dog training company in which I also train dogs for movies. I have had a wide variety of experience with animals and I hope to add your family members to the amazing times Iv been blessed with! As I’m training dogs it’s always a joy to be able to get more hands on experience with different breeds or personalities. I run dog training sessions and then look for who I can burn more energy with! Growing up living on a farm I taught all the dogs we had there roles from wrangling chickens to being a moving fence and defending against coyotes. Normally it won’t be that extreme but starting here has given me what I need to drop in and asses what a pet will need before beginning.

About: I'm a very reliable, caring, and responsible dog lover! I have been pet sitting for friends and family for around 12 years (big and little dogs, high anxiety, nervous dogs, dogs with medical needs, dietary needs). I don’t own any animals currently and would take care of your pet like my own. I enjoy going on walks, going to dog parks, playing fetch, tug, playing with mind/strategy toys, and giving healthy treats to help train a certain trick or correct a behavior. I enjoy playing one on one with dogs, or several dogs at once. I look forward to working with you to accommodate any requests to make you and your pet/s comfortable. Dogs are part of a family and I hope you chose me to be part of their lives! I currently set my own work schedule, so I'm very flexible with what you and your pets needs are! I will follow your instructions so your pet is comfortable with their regular process of how they do things. I'm looking forward to working with you and hanging out with your lovely pets!! I am able to follow any instructions needed for your pets. I want them to be comfortable in their regular routine, especially with a new person taking care of them! Their comfort and the owners comfort are very important to me.
