Dog Walking Charlestown

“Mackenzie is great- always timely and our dog loves her!”

“Parris is a natural with animals. She stepped in with my rescue dog when I needed some extra help walking him. She was patient with him and understood that he would need time to trust her. It is obvious as soon as you meet Parris that she is experienced, confident and has a genuine love for animals. I highly recommend Parris for your pet needs especially if you have a pet that is challenging.”

About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, and other exotic animals for majority of my life. I have experience with babysitting animals during the day and doing overnights. Family and family friends have often asked me if I can help with taking care of their animals. I also have experience with volunteering at shelters, and at a wildlife rehab. I am currently a part time college student, as well as a part time worker, with four hour shifts. Though, I still have a very flexible schedule and will always make sure and work hard to prioritize your critters :) ! I am also available to do overnights if need be!! When it comes to caring for your critters within your home, I make sure to follow your instructions, keep everything clean and in order, as well as still giving your critters plenty of attention and affection!

About: I have handled small animals and reptiles for 9 years, cats and dogs for 7, and horses and livestock for 6! I have a variety of experience with many different breeds with many different temperaments. There isn’t much I can’t handle! I currently only work part time at a local rescue/shelter so I have some time on my hands! I have my own car that I don’t mind getting some fur and dirt in, so if your pups are a fan of hikes or just want to go on an adventure that’s no problem for me! I take animal care and welfare very seriously, my babies get water and food dishes scrubbed daily, proper diet tailored to their needs, whatever exercise they require, and all the attention they could ever ask for! I will treat your pets as if they were my own, keeping a clean, happy, healthy environment for them!

About: I’ve grown up with dogs of all sizes. Also, have been trusted by many family members & friends to take care of their dogs. This includes taking care of an elderly dog who takes multiple medications & has some trouble getting around, & on the other end of the spectrum a very active & young husky, plus many more! I am a full time athletic trainer at a college, but get a month off in the summer. The other month I work during the summer I only work 4 hour shifts so will have plenty of time to attend to pups! Moving forward after summer I can pick up random week nights & weekends here & there! I am an active person so would love to walk with a dog & take it out to run around & play! On the flip side, I also love cuddles & will give your pups all the attention they would need!

About: Hello!! I have been caring for all kinds of animals since growing up on a small farm as a child. We always had many different farm animals and lots of cats and dogs. As an adult I have always had at least a cat, and currently have 3 dogs and 4 cats...basically a small zoo hahaha. I am used to dogs of all sizes and temperaments. Currently, I have a 9 year old German Shepherd that weighs 120 pounds...he's a very gentle giant that we have had since he was a pup. He has bad knees(has had multiple surgeries) so I'm used to caring for his special needs and giving daily meds. (Pupdate on my 120 lb bff - I lost my baby boy pretty unexpectedly March 31, 2025- he had just turned 10. My heart was torn to shreds from his loss😭) We also have a 7.5 year old German Shepherd. She weighs 85 pounds and is a rescue with extreme anxiety. We call her our backyard/house dog only. It is where she is most comfortable so that's where she stays to fit her needs!! And last but not least, we rescued our baby girl almost a year ago. She is likely a lab mix and around 50 pounds/ 1.5 years old. She needs lots and lots of exercise and attention!! I am very familiar with puppies and the extra needs they require. I've also cared for really senior dogs as we lost our Lab boy of 14 years to cancer not long ago. I decided to look into doing this as we are always looking for someone reliable to help us out when we need to leave our animals. I realize they are not just part of your family...they are family and it's hard to leave them and be comfortable with it. I would love to meet you and your pets before we set up to determine that everyone is comfortable and compatible and to make your leaving them with me stress-free! I look forward to hearing from you! I am self employed and work mostly from home. My schedule is pretty flexible and mine to make. I can make most anytime work! It is extremely important to me that when you schedule services, you schedule ALL pets in the home I will be caring for. I realize there isn't an option for a hamster, or guinea pig, etc however please use "additional cat" and mark other breed and discuss this with me during our chat & before our meet n greet! Communication is key from the start❤️ and I need to know there is enough time to care for everyone properly! I am currently unable to care for your pets in my home but I will take care of your pets In your home just as you wish me too! Detailed notes on the pets schedule, feedings, meds, etc work great!! House sitting rates may vary depending on your needs and wants for the care of your pet and your home. This will be discussed at the meet and greet!

About: I’ve worked with many kinds of animals, including (but not limited limited to) Dogs, Cats, Horses, Bunnies, Guinea pigs and other rodents, birds, and farm animals! I have also worked with special needs and disabled animals I’m a student and in training to be an EMT! I’m available most weekends and evenings, along with morning check-ins on weekdays! I also do overnight visits on special request. I’m an experienced animal lover and carer! Will always love on animals that want that and respect boundaries when they don’t. Experiences with crate trained behavior and basic teaching techniques.

About: I grew up with big and small dogs and I am comfortable with any breed or age. I also have taken care of cats since I was young. I currently own a 13 year old tuxedo cat named Barri.

I am comfortable visiting any type of housing to care for your pet, whether it is a quick pee break or a long play date to keep your furry friend company.

About: I am an owner of two dogs, and a cat, along with various other critters. I am a dog trainer and continuing my education in the field, specializing in behavior and also nutrition. I believe every dog has its job and place and needs to be catered to accordingly and exercised and walked daily and I am here to help with that. I am willing to work on light obedience and leash work if needed as well as puppy training and socialization, or just the daily walks and let outs. I hope to open my own business shortly and would love to get to know the dogs in the surrounding area in hopes of further working with them. I am available every day and willing to travel a bit to accommodate your needs. Avaliable week day evenings after 5 and weekends morning to evening.

About: I have had dogs my whole life. I currently own a Catahoula Leopard dog and an Australian Cattle dog. I have been dog sitting since I was 14 and love taking care of/ walking dogs. I am currently a college student on summer break so I have a completely free schedule. I am free to walk or pet sit any time! I have a fenced in yard and two friendly dogs who are well socialized. My dogs are 4 and 1 years old and are medium sized dogs.

“Excellent job with Eli! Thank you!”

About: I can sit and board during any holiday! I am new to the site, so that is why I do not have any reviews. I try to respond in less than thirty minutes. In the evening, I usually respond within a few minutes. I walk on a daily basis personally and am used to taking dogs on walks at least a few times a day. I have worked with all different breeds and do my research on breed specifications before taking care of any animal. I have helped taken care of animals that have to receive oral and injections daily. I have taken care of all ages of animals from babies to seniors. I have owned dogs, cats, Guinea pigs, and rabbits. I currently do not own any animals, so that I can focus on your pets. I do usually send updates/pictures during the time your pet is with me, so that you know how they are doing I work as a nurse full time Monday through Friday. I started work usually no earlier than 745 am and am done no later than 5 pm. I have an hour long lunch break. I board on weekends so that I can be with your animal 24/7. I can dog sit throughout the week and dogs will receive a morning and evening walk as well as a lot of love and affection. I can do dog walking in the evening and if you live in the Fairlawn/Montrose area, I can do drop in visits between 12 pm-1 pm. I keep my availability up to date on this calendar as well. I live in a two bedroom apartment, but I live near a dog park I can take them to and can take them out every hour or two during the weekend if the board with me. I would take them on at least one walk minimum whether staying at my apartment or taking care of them at yours. The walks can vary from an half an hour to an hour or more depending on the dog and how your dog is feeling. I always ask their feeding schedule and an dietary restrictions. At my home, I have intellectual toys as well as just typical toys. If allowed, dogs and cats are more than welcome to sleep in bed with me. I allow animals on my furniture and have locks on cabinets to ensure they cannot get anything to harm them. I keep treats and food at my apartment. For walks, I have a hands free leash that goes around waist, so that way there is not a chance that the leash slips out of my hands.

About: Hi, I’m Steffi! I’m a reliable, calm, and attentive pet caregiver who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals and helping them feel safe and cared for while their humans are away. I have experience with dog walking and drop-in visits, and I’m especially mindful of following routines, instructions, and each pet’s individual needs. I’m patient, observant, and respectful of both pets and homes, and I prioritize clear communication and consistency. Whether your pet needs a walk, a check-in, feeding, or some extra company, I aim to provide care that feels steady, thoughtful, and stress-free. A pup that loves hikes or extensive plays will have a great time with me. Pups that enjoy lounging in the house are also no problem :) I have a bachelor's degree in business, I have been a flight attendant, a sales specialist, and a customer service rep. I prefer to spend my time outdoors as much as possible :) I am currently self-employed and am able to have a flexible schedule. I enjoy getting outside, whether that's with a pup or on my own! I do not accept dogs in my own home, but I am available and happy to care for your pet inside of your own home.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since i moved to Ohio from France. Neighbor’s have a lot to say about my good work with pets. I currently walk part time at a country club( not every day) so I definitely have time to spend playing around with the pups. I’m active all day. My family home is fenced and safe for dogs to play and run around. I can also take care of your dog at your house on how comfortable you feel. My neighbor has friendly dogs and I’m sure your dog will love to make some friends.

About: Dogs have been my best friends all my life- they give more than take. I have had mutts and labs thru the years and love taking the time to give back to them the love and attention they deserve. I have been trained in training my pups/dogs to sit, heel, stay, fetch, leave it, etc. I have had rescues and adore their ever giving love and thanks. I love the privilege in helping others care for their furry family. Update- I am back in OH and available for drop-ins on weekdays and weekends. Please feel free to contact me regarding your schedule- thank you! I always verify with owners their pets' physical and safety needs, inside and out. I love playing ball, walking around the yard or in the neighborhood or parks if near- giving dogs the time to investigate their environment- running, smelling, socializing and down right having fun- sun or shine, hot or cold weather- we'll have fun.

“Frank is great! Very reliable and my pets love him.”
