Bear loved Alison! He wouldn't go on walks at first but she worked with him and now he looks forward to his walks every day! I would definitely use her again.

Allison has been great! Super friendly and helpful when scheduling, and she has great availability. This is the second time she's taken our Aussie pup on a walk to help get some energy out. Love getting the pictures of her time with him and the note she leaves about their time together. Will definitely keep using Allison

About: I’ve always had a dog while growing up and have a true love for them! I may not have any pets of my own at the moment but I treat each dog as such. Since I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life I know the kind of love, attention and care they need and ensure to provide all of those traits for this I’m in the process of getting my real estate license so I’m currently working part time mostly at nights, which leaves my mornings and afternoons pretty available to check in/walk your dogs! My current place does not allow me to have pets, but from having my own dogs growing up I know the kind of care it takes to handle a dog in your own home! I would treat both your home and dogs with respect and give your dog the love you need for the time being

Bethany did an amazing job with our dog Lily. She gave plenty of updates, pictures,and lots of care! She even went above and beyond and brought in some flowers for us and brought in our trash cans while we were away. We cannot thank you enough for your help this week! I would gladly trust Bethany again. 💖

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.

About: I've had cats my whole life! Recently I've fostered six cats (including some kittens) and foster failed my current cat, Goose. I'm studying for medical school exam and have some free time for extra cuddles. Growing up, I frequently cared for my family's two mini Schnauzer's and would love to take your dogs for walks too!

Corey is an excellent dog walker. My dog really enjoys being with him. He's assertive while also being gentle with my dog, which means he follows dog care instructions. He gives great updates about the walk. I'd strongly recommend Corey to my friends.

About: I love animals. With over 30 years of experience caring for both cats and dogs, animals have been a central part of my life since childhood. I started walking dogs in middle school as my very first job, and I’ve never stopped loving it! I’ve raised and trained my own dogs from puppyhood, so I understand the patience and consistency needed during those early stages. I currently care for my own dogs, I love them and they are my best friends and 100% part of our family. I have experience with senior pets who require medication, as well as rescue dogs who need a little extra patience and understanding due to anxiety or feeding concerns. I’m reliable, calm, and deeply dedicated to each pet’s unique needs. I am open to most pets and have had hamsters, birds, fish, frogs, turtles, lizards, hermit crabs, etc over the years! As an elementary school staff member, I have my summers off—giving me the time and flexibility to provide attentive, consistent care for your furry family members. My schedule is very flexible this summer! I work in an elementary school during the school year, so I'm off for the summer months. Other than occasionally carpooling my son to camp, my days are wide open and I'm available to accommodate a variety of pet care needs I prefer to care for dogs in their own home so they stay in a familiar and comfortable environment. I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and secure, especially when their routine changes. My schedule is flexible, and I’m happy to work with you to accommodate your dog’s specific needs

About: I've been around dogs since I can remember. I have always had a family dog around and have dog sat for several families throughout high school and college.

Wonderful dog walker. She is honest and does her best to take care of your dogs. You literally can’t go wrong with Anna. She works hard and puts all her love into taking care of our doggos. I am new to Cincinnati and it’s great to find someone I can trust to come to my house and take care of my best friend like family.

About: I’ve taken care of many cats and dogs of my own and for friends and family for many many years. I have raised cats and dogs as young as 6 weeks as well as trained them. I love meeting new fluffy friends of all kinds! I have a job as a barista and typically work there 5 days a week so my schedule is very flexible. My availability is ever changing so feel free to ask! I have a 20 lb shetland golden retriever mix that loves to play, is very well mannered, and gets along with dogs of all sizes! I have a walking trail near where I live that I typically walk my dog and the ones I sit. I also love to take pups to Riverside to walk. If I am attending to another persons home i’ve always been raised with the idea of “leave it better than you found it”. If there are indoor cats I pay close attention to detail to make sure they don’t accidentally get out.

What a wonderful fresh start in a new city after a long drive with a very confused and anxious pup in a new home. Devynne was patient and kind, knowledgeable and a true professional. She understood that our 7-year old dog was nervous and she gently introduced herself and proceeded to take charge in a loving and controlled manner. After the first three days, Zoey (our pup) was a different girl and starting to feel at home. Thank you Devynne for the puppy love and gentle touch: routine and safety, feeling secure and seen are key to transitions and you did that for Zoey! Amazing!

Bethany did a great job of walking our one-year-old cattle dog/beagle mix. A trainer had just taught me a good way to do it, and Bethany came over early to learn how. So on all her walks, she helped train our dog to walk properly with her human! You can rely on Bethany to be kind, firm, and pleasant. Will definitely hire her again when we need a dog walker.

He shares updates and photos each day that make me feel comfortable knowing Milo is in good care while I’m at work. Highly recommend.
