Dog Walking Carthage

“Charlotte was on time and reliable. I knew my dog was in good hands. She gives her long walks and always sends a picture, which we appreciate!”

About: Hi! My name is Elisheba, along with being a mother to 3 kids, I am also a lover of all things furry and cute. I have been caring for dogs my entire life and have owned American Bulldogs, Boerboels and Frienchies. I frequently dog sit for my friend's furry kids while they are away. I have experience with dogs of all shapes and sizes as well as energy levels. I am a laid back person myself, but my children sure do a great job at keeping pups active and entertained. I consider myself an experienced puppy snuggler but I love going on walks and venturing to local dog parks. I understand that your dog is a member of your family and I will make sure they feel like they are a member of mine!

“Morgan did an amazing job taking care of Kobe and walking him while I was at work. She was very good at communicating everything that she did during her visit with him and letting me know when she was coming to let him out for a walk. Would definitely book with her again! :)”

About: I've had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember, and that hands-on experience is what I bring to every walk. I understand dog body language, pacing, leash manners, and how to read when a dog needs a break or a bit more activity — not from a course, but from years of actually living with dogs day to day. I treat every walk the same way I would for my own dog: attentive, on time, and focused entirely on their safety and comfort for the full duration. Whether your dog is high-energy, a little nervous around new people, or just needs a steady routine, I adjust to what they need rather than running a one-size-fits-all walk. You can expect clear communication before and after every visit, so you always know exactly how things went. My schedule is flexible throughout the day, so dog walking isn't squeezed into a narrow window — it's a real part of my daily routine. That means I can offer consistent mid-morning, afternoon, or early evening walks, and I'm also able to accommodate last-minute requests or changes in timing without it being a scramble. If your schedule shifts week to week, I can usually adjust to match it. Safety is the first thing I think about with every walk. When I arrive, I double-check that all doors and gates are secure before I bring your dog out, and I make sure the leash and collar or harness are properly fitted before we leave — no slipping out mid-walk. I stick to routes I know well, avoid off-leash areas unless specifically asked, and keep a close eye on other dogs, traffic, and anything that could startle or spook your dog. I always carry water on hot days and adjust the pace or length of the walk based on weather and how your dog is doing that day. Before I leave, I make sure your home is exactly as I found it — doors locked, lights as they were, nothing out of place. If anything ever comes up during a walk, you'll hear from me right away, not after the fact.

About: I’m currently studying to be a vet assistant. Since I was a kid I’ve loved animals and have accumulated lots of knowledge over the years. I’ve been trusted to care for many family pets. I’m very calm and patient, and I’m excited to have the opportunity to care for your pets as well! I’m currently working part-time, early mornings. Mid-week, afternoons and weekends are the best times for me to care for and play with your babies! I live in a very quiet home and a very quiet neighborhood. We can sit and relax while I knit or easily walk down to the nearby observatory, park, or town square.

“Leidy was awesome. She was on time and followed the directions perfectly that were left for her! My dog had a blast and would highly recomened!”

About: I’ve had animals in my home since I was born! Currently I have a dog and two cats of my own. I’ve been around and cared for animals of all sizes and breeds. I have a cat now that needs to take oral medication daily so I have experience there, and work from home so I’m fairly flexible on how I can care for your babies while you are away! I work from home, and at a restaurant on the weekends. So my availability is very flexible. I take my dog out every few hours to walk and smell around the neighborhood. I’m very active so if you have an active pet that’s great! But I can also take it slow if that’s what your senior baby needs. My dog is always leashes when outside for her safety as I do not have a fenced in yard. We walk on the sidewalks and always look out for traffic and other dogs!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I could walk. Grew up walking stuffed animals around on a leash just to prove to my parents that I was responsible enough to own one myself. I had two dogs that both lived to 16 so my track record is good I am currently working from home three to four days a week and that allows for me to be flexible with my timing. I can leave the house, let a dog out or just give him/her some extra belly rubs I have a fenced in yard that allows your fur baby to run around freely, but within the home I love to snuggle. Your pets are allowed on furniture and in beds at this household, as long as it’s okay with you.

About: Leaving your dog behind can be hard—whether it’s for a weekend getaway or a busy workday. You want someone who’ll treat them with the same love and attention you do. You need more than just a dog watcher; you need someone who gets it. Someone who will keep your dog happy, safe, and loved until you’re back. As a dog mom to two golden retrievers (9 and 5), I’ve had plenty of experience with dogs of all energy levels, temperaments, and needs. I’m comfortable managing medications, preventing allergy triggers, and handling allergic reactions if they arise. Our home has a large front and backyard, perfect for playtime, exercise, and fresh air. Whether your pup needs long walks, belly rubs, or someone to sit quietly and keep them company, I’ll care for them as if they were my own. You’ll get regular updates, photos, and all the reassurance you need—so you can relax, knowing your dog is in good hands. At the end of the day, it’s not just about keeping your dog fed and exercised—it’s about making sure they feel at home, even when you’re not there. Because your dog deserves the best. And so do you. Both my husband and I work fully remote. We’re flexible with our schedules and always block out time for long walks and a lot of time to play with ours and your pups! We’re early risers as well and are flexible accommodating for your pups needs throughout the day. If caring for pets in our home, you can expect a minimum of 3 walks a day and lots of outdoor time in our front and backyard patio. We’ll keep a close eye on any pups to ensure full safety. If caring for pups in your home, you can expect me to treat your home like my own and respect it fully while also sticking to your pups schedule you would keep on a regular basis. I’d love to work with you to make sure your pups needs are fully met!

About: I love working with dogs and tailor my care to each pet’s needs. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or giving medication, I make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I also have experience with senior dogs, so I understand the extra patience and attention they need, offering gentle walks, plenty of reassurance, and a calm, caring environment to keep them happy and healthy. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide your pet with consistent attention throughout the day. I can easily accommodate walks, playtime, and care whenever needed, ensuring your pet feels comfortable and loved at all times. In your home, I provide a safe and comfortable environment for pets while keeping them on their usual routine. I make sure they’re closely supervised during outdoor time and always prioritize their safety and well-being.

About: I grew up with dogs and have always loved animals! I've been a pet and house sitter for friends and family for over a decade, and I'll show the same care for your pet and space that you do! I work evenings so I would have availability in the morning and early afternoon. I would also be available for pet care full time on the weekends. I will always make sure your pet gets the full attention and care they deserve! Your home will be left just as clean as I found it, and I will treat it with respect.

“Abbey is our regular dog walker, so this review is in reference to an ongoing commitment/arrangement. Abbey has been excellent with our elder dog. She is reliable, communicative, and trustworthy. We have had no issues or concerns. We appreciate her and would recommend her services to others!”

About: I’ve cared for pets my whole life, whether they’re my own, pets I’ve cared for at shelters, or pets I’ve sat for through friends and family. I’m currently a college student with a flexible schedule, giving me plenty of available time to provide your pets with loving, attentive, and personalized care! I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment where pets can feel at home. I follow each pet’s routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. I’m happy to accommodate special instructions and make sure every pet feels cared for, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is that I will regularly keep you updated with visits and can follow whatever special instructions necessary! I’ll treat your pet like family and hopefully keep them from missing you too much. I have a background in teaching swim, which has taught me lots of patience, responsibility, and carefulness. While I am currently away at school, at home I took care of my 2 dogs - feeding them daily, walking them twice a week, and bathing them biweekly. This was part of my responsibilities at home and still help with them when I go home to visit. When I’m caring for your pet in your home, I will do my best to ensure they feel comfortable and are sticking to their normal routine. I will respect your, and their space and give them lots of love!

About: Not only am I a veterinary technician, but I also have a variety of different species of pets at home, ensuring I will be able to treat your babies as my own! I have experience training puppies, administering medications, aiding in senior care, and helping with any other additional needs your pet may have. I am currently working part-time, so I will have plenty of time to play and love on your fur babies! I also have many pets of my own, so I have built in adequate time to give all of my pets the love and attention they need. I am willing to work with you no matter your preferences when it comes to your pet! I am used to crating pets, walking pets, and letting them out in a timely manner, to ensure that they are not letting up on their routine.

About: I am a lifelong animal lover and have had multiple dogs, two cats, and a ball python for over 13 years! In addition to my experience as a pet owner, I have also volunteered at the Cincinnati Zoo in various capacities for 3 years now, where I have learned techniques in animal care relating to a variety of species from mammals to reptiles to birds. I am currently pursuing a degree in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology with the hope to some day work with animals professionally. I was a member of my high schools zoology and marine biology clubs for all 4 years and also founded a beekeeping club. I am currently a college student looking to pet sit during school breaks. I will be in town and available December 13-31 of this year. I offer free meet and greets and I will not have another job at this time and so can be quite flexible to you/your pets needs. I can come over at regular time frames to walk, provide food and water, play, and spend time with your pet. I also offer overnight stays and can accommodate irregular schedules.

About: My experience goes back to being the go-to walker for our family dog as a kid to minding my cat today. It’s not unusual for me to meet a dog or cat and become acquainted in minutes I work from home with a flexible schedule. Therefore, I can be on-call at various times. I’m also used to fitting pet care for my cat into my daily routine. I make sure to follow all instructions laid out by the pet parent and get clarification wherever necessary, as well as communicate any issues that may arise.

About: I have worked at a doggy daycare as well as fostered and volunteered at the shelter. I also have raised dogs my whole life and have three of my own. I have dealt with administering medicine at the doggy daycare and taking care of dogs with needed special care.I also have one cat who I adore!! Fostering is one of my passions in cincinnati when there are animals in need! I work one job only two days a week as well as I am a senior in highschool looking to make money for college as I am about to graduate. I provide a safe care person for dogs in their home as well as when going on a walk I am there for whatever they need.

About: Multi-pet owner with experience caring for giant breeds, puppies & seniors anxious dogs, reactive dogs, and multi-pet households. I understand that every pet has unique needs and routines, and I provide patient, reliable care tailored to them. Whether your pet needs extra space, structure, or just lots of love, I’ll treat them like family while you’re away. I work from home, so boarded pets have lots of attention and outside time often. I’m right next to a park with lots of trails, so I’m happy to incorporate walks as requested! I have a privacy fenced yard, with pet friendly turf and lots of space to play! My pets are social and love to play, but my home is also set up to be able to safely separate all pets if yours needs personal space.

“Levi has been wonderful with my special needs dog Lola and her brother Midnight. He is on time and follows instructions. He is very loving and gentle with my babies. I would definitely utilize his services!!”
