Dog Walking Castalia

“Would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone in need of someone to walk or care for your dog. They were always on time, showed extra love to my pup, and were very flexible with scheduling.”

About: Our Goldendoodle pup Laska has helped fill the void of recent loss in our lives. She fills our heart with joy and is the talk and walk of the neighborhood! I help our friends with their 4 dogs when needed as well. Just like our friends I would prefer to board our sweet girl in a home atmosphere. I want to help those that prefer the same. I have dearly loved a Springer Spaniel, two black labs, German Short hair pointer and Shihtzu over the last 30 years. Let me know if you have any questions. I am a full time RN and work day shift Monday- Thursday. Home visits after 530pm during the work week and more open availability Friday-Sunday. If a home visit doesn't work for you, we do have a vinyl fence in our backyard. We can work together on deciding what is best for your pooch.

About: I have fostered many animals over the years. Very obedient dogs to deaf and blind dogs. I have also taken care of a variety of other animals such as ferrets, rabbits, and turtles. Hello, I am currently available at any time as I am taking a leave from my full time job for some very personal reasons. I will base things around your animals schedule. I follow strict instructions for your pets care plus more. Potty breaks are as frequent as need be especially with the age of the dog.

“Sydney was lovely! She was responsive, on time and of course wonderful with my dogs. I will definitely use her again.”

About: I've had a full house of "fur kids" for over 15 years. With the same cat that started my pack, Eko Donald, Annie Rose, whom I've had for 5+ years, with two of her babies, Garfied & Binx, the past 3 years. In additional to my feline pack, current Pooches include, Herbie Don, Athena Marie, Piddle & Frank Barone. Yes! I currently have 4 dogs and 4 cats! Herbie, my "vicious" Pitbull Terrier, came as an abandoned 1 year old, now 7, through the "Lorain County Dog Kennel". Athena, my Senior Farm girl, came 2 summers ago, knocking at deaths door, from a divorce case gone bad for the "fur kids" in a state, KY, that does not protect their furies. So bringing her to the great state of Ohio, protected under Goddards Law, was a no brainer. Piddle, my 4 yr old Shorkie, whose legal name is Thor, was a token of appreciation from one of my School Bus. kiddos. Frank Barone, a 2 yr old Spaniel mix of some sort, the "baby" of the pack, came through the APL, from a hoarding case gone terrible. My "fur kids" are truly the "kids", I was not able to have beyond the only 1 I was blessed with who is now an adult. As a Substitute Teacher, my schedule is very flexible and open to just about anything; especially, during those high in demand, and popular vacation times! Yup! Im an introverted, homebody, who doesn't go too far, often enough. I'm open to individual requests per family, as I've learned, just as humans, fur kids are no exception, in the fact that no two pets, or pet families are the same.

About: I’ve been around all types of dogs and cats and grew up always having an animal. I am also used to fish, hamsters, and other types of pets that you have in your home. I’m currently working full time during the day but have plenty of spare time to give your pup or cat their much needed care. I will not accept a job that I cannot be present for as needed I make sure they always have fresh water and food as requested. I enjoy spending as much time as possible with the kitties or puppies playing with their toys or relaxing on the couch when I am not at work

About: My family has had cats since I was a baby! I’ve helped out with them for as long as I can remember. I have also house sit for multiple families with animals and walked countless dogs. I get along with most any pet! Previously I volunteered at a shelter to walk and socialize adoptable dogs, and I loved every second. I got my own kitten last year and have loved every second. It has been so fun to help him grow and see him turn into a fun, loving, rambunctious cat. I am off school for a few months and have some extra time to watch or walk your pet! I enjoy being around animals so fitting pet care into my schedule is not an issue. I will do everything necessary to keep your pet safe. Safety is number one for me and I never want to see an animal be hurt or cared for improperly. I will follow all instructions and make sure your pet is healthy and happy!

“Jackson was very pleased with Alana. Will use her again!”

About: I love animals and creating a safe environment for them. I have cared for animals as small as hamsters and as big as dogs, as well as special needs dogs! We currently don’t have a pet of our own due to financial reason, so we hope to give all of our love to your pet while they’re here with us. I am a full time photographer who lives in an apartment! My schedule has huge gaps of free time and I have to get my animal fix some how! Let me love your fur baby while you’re away ♥️ Since I live in an apartment I can’t have animals with me anymore, but I have much experience in animal care. My sister is a manager of an animal care facility and has taught me everything I know over the years!

“Great walker and sitter for my girl Rya! Thanks for stepping in when I needed it.”

About: Hello! As a dedicated pet sitter, walker, and many more things I have several qualities that set me apart from others. Firstly, I have extensive experience in caring for dogs, having personally looked after my own six dogs for the past ten years. This hands-on experience has given me invaluable insights into the specific needs and behaviors of dogs, from puppies to seniors. One of my special skills is training puppies. I understand the importance of early socialization, which helps establish a strong foundation for their overall well-being. Whether it's potty training, leash manners, or basic commands, I can provide patient and effective service to help your puppy grow into a well and happy dog. On the other hand, I also have experience with senior dogs. I am well-versed in the specific care requirements of older canines, such as administering medication, assisting with mobility issues, and providing extra attention to their comfort and well-being. I understand the challenges that come with aging pets and can provide the necessary care and compassion they deserve. Aside from my practical experience, I have a genuine love and passion for animals. Their well-being and happiness are always my top priority. I believe that every animal deserves to be treated with kindness, respect, and individualized attention. You can trust me to provide a safe and loving environment for your pets while you're away, ensuring they receive the care they deserve. If you choose me as your pet sitter, walker, or anything you may need, you can rest assured that your furry friends will be in capable and caring hands. I look forward to the opportunity to meet and care for your beloved pets. I believe that it’s important to always start the day with a morning walk and ensure that our fur babies get correct exercise and some fresh air. My dogs also have specific feeding times to ensure balanced and nutritious meals. Playtime also is a really big thing, as dogs need to be mentally stimulated throughout the day and physically active to stay healthy! Just not right after eating, as that can be dangerous for some breeds. Grooming is also super necessary and important for my puppies. Their nails especially grow so fast. Additional things I like to do are evening walks, training time and making sure my pups all have comfortable sleeping areas! In my home my fur babies are provided with walks, nutritious food, exercise, grooming, mental stimulation, a safe environment, socialization and emotional care every day. For a client, I believe it’s important to follow any specific instructions provided regarding feeding, medication, or other special requirements for their pets. Communication with the pet owners is crucial to ensure you meet their expectations and provide the best care for their furry companions.

About: I’ve had cats and dogs my whole life. I absolutely love animals and my close friends call me “Brigitte Bardot” for an obvious reason. Plus your pets will become bilingual as I’ll speak French with them! I’m retired but still want to remain active. Caring for other people’s pets seem like a good way for me to do this. I am an honest person with no criminal record. I’ve never even been stopped by a police man driving. I am offering watching your pets in your home. Their surroundings are important to reduce stress. As I have two indoor cats, taking other pets into my home is not possible

About: I have always loved animals ever since I was small. My experience really started when I was able to live on my own and adopt my first pet, a female cat named Kitty, in 2001. I have flexible hours and am willing to help pretty much any time. I currently work part time for myself as an Ebay seller and I sell mostly 3D printed items. I have 3 teenage sons and a tween daughter who are also animal lovers. I have a fenced backyard if needed and I can also help at the client's home. I follow instructions well and can offer your pet safety and love on their terms.

About: I grew up on a small farm in upstate New York and have spent years caring for animals of my own! I have been trusted by friends and family to watch their dogs and cats and I understand that pet care is a 24/7 job. I am a stay at home mom which gives me plenty of time to take care of your pets day and night! I am available every day of the week. I own my home and have a guest room dedicated to providing the best care for both human and animal guests alike! This way your pet has a safe space to retreat to when feeling nervous or need to rest, otherwise my whole house is safe and ready for animals of all kinds.

About: With over two decades of hands-on pet care experience, I provide loving, reliable, and personalized care for your furry family members. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping your pets company while you’re away, I treat every animal as if they were my own. As a lifelong animal lover, my goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pet is in safe, compassionate hands. Whether it’s for a weekend getaway or regular visits, I’m here to help keep tails wagging and whiskers happy! I work a full time sales job where I set and dictate my own schedule. I can work from any location at anytime, including nights, holidays, and weekends! I will follow any and all instructions that you dictate for care of your pet in your home! I am comfortable providing all food, sleep, and medication instructions, along with following any routine they may have ensuring for a smooth transition when you return home. They will be treated just as if they were my own. Your pets safety, health, and wellbeing are my #1 priorities!

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since I was 13. I have a reactive girl that I adopted and a german shepherd I’ve raised from a baby. I’m often helping train and manage family’s dogs and would love to help you give your baby the best care Pet care is what I want to make my career. I am working towards being an accredited behavioral trainer. And would be more than happy to work on Leash manners with your dog My pets don’t have a yard bc I live in an apartment complex but that doesn’t stop me from fulfilling their daily exercise. In your home my top priority is your dogs comfort and lifestyle.

About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs my whole life and I’ve had even a few of my own. I’ve made sure they’re fed, bathed and most importantly, loved. I’m currently going to school full time but will have time to make sure your pet is taken care of, fed, and have fun while they’re away from you. I don’t have a backyard, I’m currently renting an apartment. But I’ll make sure to walk your dog around the block and make sure they have time to go to the bathroom.

“Celina is so sweet and patient! My dogs just love her! Highly recommend!!”

About: I have lived with many cats and dogs since I was 5. I have one dog right now and one cat. I have taken care of a quite a few senior animals. I am free as of right now for any time you need me for animal sitting or care. I will bring my laptop with me. I try and play with my cat and dog when I can. Their energy is strong in both of them as their diet is protein.
