Dog Walkers in Bratenahl, OH

“James was very easy going and patient with my puppy Moka. He took her for a nice extended walk, fed her and most of all, allowed her to warm up to him before he took her out.”

About: I always had a dog growing up, and I've had one consistently for the last five years. I spent a year fostering before I adopted my current pup, so I've had experience with a lot of different kinds and sizes. I'm happy to run around with a puppy or younger, energetic dog, or chill out with an older buddy who just wants love. I'm open to all kinds, but I've always had a soft spot for bullies or other big dogs, because they're frequently misunderstood as dangerous when, more often than not, they're just big babies. My dog is reactive, so I know how to deal with dogs who need extra care and special protection, including from themselves. I firmly believe every dog deserves love, empathy, and care, even - maybe especially - those that might have been overlooked or dismissed. I have hardly ever met a dog I didn't like, and I can't wait to hang out with yours and give them all the play and love they deserve. I work from home, and I have a flexible schedule. I'm allowed to set my own hours, so I'll be happy to come visit your furbaby whenever they need it. I'm happy to come over and walk your dog, drop in and hang out with them in your home, or both. I unfortunately can't board your dog, nor can I spend the night house-sitting.

“I was so stressed out about not getting a walker for my boy due to the practical blizzard outside. But James was able to make it happen! My heart is happy. 10/10 will rebook! (:”

“I booked Octavia for a last minute walk with my pup and everything was fantastic! We had good communication, she was on time, and she gave a great summary at the end of the walk. I’m adding her to my roster of walkers ASAP.”

“John has been fantastic! Very much appreciate him”

About: I have been taking care of dogs for a little over a decade for my friends and family. I also worked at a dog daycare while in college, where I played, fed cuddled, loved, did house visits and overall cared for about any dog breed you can think of! On a regular day at the daycare, we would have around 25 different dogs at a time to care for. I also have have my own dog named Harley and he’s the best boy! I work full time. 5x 8’s with varying shift times and days but I will work around my hours to take care of your fur babies! I will always treat your fur baby like one of my own. They will have my full attention when I am with them and I will make sure their needs are met. I will follow all instructions you have and give them all of the love to make sure they are happy!

About: I’ve had cats, dogs, and other pets my whole life, trained my own dog myself, and provide flexible, attentive, loving care for animals of all kinds. I currently work part-time as a lifeguard at a local pool, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to walk, feed, play with, and care for pets throughout the day. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for by following their normal routines, giving them attention, exercise, clean spaces, and constant supervision when needed.

“Brittany has been a great addition to Corbin's routine. She comes daily to walk, feed and play with him. She provides me with super cute pictures and an update on how he did”

“Emily is very good with my two dogs Alfie and Beanie. They are always happy to see her and go on their walks. She always arrives on time and is very easy and nice to deal with. I plan to continue having her walk my pups and hope it's working out well for her as well.”

About: I am a part time registered nurse with 5 years of pet sitting experience but currently new to Rover! I specialize in French bulldogs and dogs with mobility issues that may require extra care and medication administration but am also available to care for other breeds and healthy dogs and cats as well! I used to live in San Diego where I walked and cared for many dogs experiencing these issues and would love to continue to help others in my free time. My own dog has a history of skin issues, IVDD & liver issues which I have all learned to manage from my experience. I am an emergency department registered nurse so I also know how to stay calm in emergent situations and give your pets the care and love as I would give my own. I currently work part time so I have a very flexible schedule when it comes to dog walking or watching your animal in my home. I currently live in an apartment near the flats which is a very safe and dog friendly community. I walk my own dog four times a day and we also have a dog park for dogs that need to get more energy out. I am a helicopter mom when it comes to my own dog being around other dogs as far as safety so I would do the same for your dog as well. When my dog is not outside we relax in the apartment, play ball and I let him chew on only Nyla or Benebones. My dog also is one to get into anything left out so my place is very clean and nothing is ever left out on the floor, bed or closet that he might be able to get into.

About: I absolutely love animals! I grew up on a farm with dogs, cats, horses, cows, chickens, and even ducks! In my childhood household, we treated our pets as the much-loved members of the family that they were. In my adult life, I have continued this tradition by cherishing my own pets as if they were my children (because they are lol)! Whenever I’m out of town (or just out of the house for the day), I’m constantly thinking of my fur babies and what they might be doing. I love taking care of other peoples’ pets while they’re away because I know the pets love the attention and their parents can feel confidant about stepping out of the house! Whether the pets want to play, snuggle, or keep to themselves, it makes me so happy take care of them and make sure they’re happy and healthy! Pet sitting for me is a full time job! My schedule is very flexible, and it would be my pleasure to watch your fur babies while you’re away! Pets to me are not accessories in the house; they’re cherished members of the family! My priority for my own pets and my clients’ pets is that they are happy, healthy, and loved. It’s important to me that they drink enough water, are eating the right amount of nourishing food, and getting the right amount of play and rest! Beyond that, I like to let the pets take the lead regarding our interactions. If a pet wants snuggles, count me in! If a pet wants space, I can respect that and support them from afar.

About: Hello! My name is Ella and I’m 23 years old and I am a student at the Cleveland institute of music studying opera. Singing and animals are my two greatest passions in life! I grew up with a Bichon who is now 12 years old and living with my mom in Columbus Ohio. Taking care of him throughout my life has been one of my greatest blessings and I’ve had the joy of extending my love for him to dozens of dogs and cats across the Cleveland area over the past 6 years! I follow a vegan diet and am passionate about the color yellow and I adore movies (especially horror!). All my friends love meeting and playing with any animals I care for (with pet parent permission of course!) so no matter what, I (or me AND my friends) will give your baby(s) a most fun and special time! I am a graduate student at the Cleveland institute of music and within my schedule have breaks and long blocks of time where I can go to hangout with, check in on, walk, and feed pets :) I’m almost always available to spend the night and take care of them in the morning before setting off for my day. The longest I would need to leave a dog alone would be 5-6 at most, but that would be rare. Most often, it would be 3-4 hours or less :) I always appreciate when pet parents create a list for me of things I need to know so I can continue to reference it throughout my time caring for their pet until I get to know the dog super well! I am careful to keep dangerous or toxic things off floors and out of reach, I ensure that small dogs have easy access to higher couches or beds (as long as pet parents allow this), I clean and refill their water bowl every morning and wash their food bowls. I will give your dog lots of love and cuddles and pets and attention and time outside and exercise and plenty of treats!

“Andrea is one of a kind ! She makes you feel at ease while she is taking care of your fur baby. She goes above and beyond to make sure she knows what your animals personality and needs are . My pup absolutely adores her and looks forward to seeing her every week !”

About: I currently have two cats who are well taken care of and who I have administered medications to and cleaned up after. I also grew up around dogs and am well versed with handling dogs of different temperaments. I work full time but I am very free on the weekends and after work to care for pets. I am also free around lunch times on Monday and Friday. I am adept at handling cats and dogs in difficult situations. For dogs, I would put them in their crate for a cool down time. For cats, I usually prefer to put them in time out in a room or disengage ntil they are able to not be as overstimulated. I also like to re-direct energy using play so pets do not feel punished for their energy.

About: I've been around animals my entire life! My family has had pets for as long as I can remember—from senior golden retrievers to brand new kittens—and I have been pet sitting for friends and family since I was back in high school. I even now have two kitties of my own! When I take care of your pets, I'll treat them with the same care and affection I do my own. I've taken care of animals with behavioral struggles and physical health troubles within my own family and it has given me important experience to be able to take the best care of your pets, no matter what their unique circumstances. I am available weekends and throughout most work weeks and my university schedule allows for the flexibility I need to meet your pets needs whenever works best for them! I am Red Cross Certified in Cat and Dog First Aid. I also have experience caring for both senior dogs and puppies/kittens that are under a year old, as well as experience administering various oral medications and inhalers to dogs and cats. I also have experience with dogs that require a muzzle, for any reason.

“Sophie was great and khaleesi had a great walk with her. She is a great communicator. She was pleasant, friendly and awesome. I will definitely used her again. They had a great time together.”

About: I have dogs my entire life. I have a dog of my own who is very well trained. I am very active so I enjoy playing and walking with animals. I am an ICU nurse going back to grad school at Case Western. So I will be a full time student with a flexible schedule! I have experience with all different aged animals. I have volunteered at pounds and walked very strong dogs. I can assure your dog will get the right amount of love and care. Full time student so I have a flexible schedule. I will be able to do take your dog for long walks or play. Whatever is needed. Monday and Wednesday are my long days in class. I am a very trustworthy person, as an icu nurse I have had to carry a lot of responsibility at once. I can send updates and can assure your pet will get the best care. Having a dog myself I know they are part of the family.

About: I have compassion for all animals, especially senior pets. I have all the patience in the world for pets. I have worked with many diabetic pets, administering insulin is no problem for me. I am looking to simplify my life soon and I will have a great deal of flexibility to accommodate our pet companions. They make me happy I recently lost my soul cat, Sebby in January. It was a 3 cat household up until that time. Sebby is survived by his brother Naboo and his sister, Olga.

“Lindsay has done a great job with our German Shepherd puppy. She is always on time, reliable and responsive. Would definitely recommend to anyone.”
