Dog Walkers in Columbiana, OH

About: I’m home full time and love going on walks! I have a golden doodle who is 5 and loves friends. I’m very flexible with my availability. I had dogs growing up and my family loves them! I provided care for several years while I lived in Colorado. Now I’m in Ohio and would love to do the same. Our neighborhood is great for walks. We have a large yard that isn’t fenced. I have three children 5,7,9 that live all animals. I’m a stay at home mom with 3 kiddos who are very well acquainted with all size and ages of dogs. We are involved in activities but always make time for our furry friends. We love on them with cuddles. We have a large crate we can put them in if needed. We also have a separate room if they need some space.

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life. Currently have 4 herding dogs and chickens. Experience from puppies to seniors. My kids are adults and I have free time from my varying work schedule. Sometimes in I’m hotels around Pittsburgh with idle time during the weekdays and evenings. Im always local Saturday and Sunday. From stopping by to check on your pets and letting them out, to walking or playing, let me know how can I can help out. I am available for afternoons and evenings depending on where my work takes me. I go to Pittsburgh for some weekdays and evenings. I’m always in Ohio on the weekends. I will care for your pets as I would my own. Your instructions and pet’s care are of my utmost importance. Friends have trusted me for years to pet sit.

About: I've been taking care of animals since I could walk. I can potty train puppies. And teach your babies so many cool tricks and teach them to wait for their food instead of rushing to it. Im currently working at harbor pets, so im there about 3 times a week for a couple hours out of the day. Other than that im home majority of the time and love taking my dogs out on car rides! I dont have a fenced in yard but I prefer to go sit outside with the babies, and get some play time I while we're out there. I dont like leaving the babies outside all of their own but thats my person preference.

“Was on time. Friendly. Great at handling a larger dog.”

About: I’ve helped take care of my family’s dogs since I could remember. At 14 I got my own puppy and raised her on my own. I’m a dog lover looking to help others with dog walking and/or pet sitting in my free time. I have a very open schedule that allows for a lot of availability:) I am a very cautious and thoughtful person. I care about animals (especially dogs of course) and I will give them the best care needed!

About: I've loved animals and have had them all my life. Whether you have a puppy who needs lots of fun play time, teething toys, and of course frequent naps or a kitten with boundless energy and never ending curiosity...to aging dogs and cats that need that extra help whether it's making food to help them eat, helping them go outside and back in, lots of naps in the sunshine, rides when walking hurts and plenty of companion time or anything in between... Through every stage and every age I'll treat your pets like they were my own. I also offer care for small pets (caged pets, pocket pets and more) message me for details. I only work part time in the mornings so there is always plenty of time for extra snuggles, scritches, food games, walks, trips to Petsmart and exercise time! I will care for your pet as if it were my own. Depending on which service you'd like I can check in on your pet at your house, take them outside to go potty and let them enjoy some playtime in the sun. Make sure they have plenty of food and water. I can take them on walks and I do that early in day or later in the day so the road isn't too hot. I love to go to parks so we can go there and walk too. I love to send messages and pics of your fur babies and the fun they are having.

About: Growing up we always had dogs in our house from bulldogs to an English mastiff. I currently have a 6 year old sharpei mix that I absolutely adore. I’ve been dog sitting for family and friends since I was 14 and love it. I’ve worked with puppies and dogs as old as 14. I would love to get to help other people out because I know how big of a hassle it can be to try to work around a work or vacation schedule to make sure your dog is taken care of. My dog has a tie out that he gets connected to when he needs to go potty, we do not have a fence due to living on a large piece of land. When he’s off leash he has an e-collar that allows me to keep track of his location. As far as taking care of other peoples dogs goes I just do as I’m told or whatever is requested. If you’d like your dog to be leashed, great! If you’d like them not to be leash, also great! Put them in a crate while no one is home, can do! Whatever they’re used to is what I will do, keeping them in a routine is so important.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for years! I even completely trained my old puppy to do all different kind of tricks, potty training, and behavioral tactics. I believe I am a very reliable and trustworthy dog sitter. I do work full time but can make plenty of time for any of your animals needs. My hours do vary but if we have compatible schedules, count me in. Whatever is asked of me, trust and believe it will be taken care of. Your fur baby needs taken out for a walk, done. Litter needs changed, done. Food and water needs refilled, done. I am a very reliable and dependable individual.

“Maya had a quick response for a short notice request. Seemed like my dog enjoyed himself too. Thanks!”

About: I am 23 & have owned and worked with many dogs and cats over the course of 4-5 years. Each animal has its own unique personality, traits, and quirks that make them special. Which is what I love about them so much! I work full time at a doggy daycare and have been for the past 2 years! It’s amazing getting to be around so many different dogs each day, I learn something new every day I understand different dogs have different needs, and different owners have different needs for their pets as well. Will do everything to keep the pet as happy and comfortable as possible while it’s people are away

About: Even as a baby I have always been around animals, and when I started to crawl and sit up my first playmates was a grey rescue cat and a old rottweiler. As I grew up I became more of a animal lover, showing no fear believing that every animal deserve love and to be treated right I currently do not have a job besides helping watching my niece once in awhile, while my parents are at work and I will soon being enrolling in college part time I live on a 160 acre farm, with open fields, a lake and plenty of space to play. A very long drive way, so it there will always be distance between us and a main road. I also have three pug-chihuahua of my own, who will either love to play with your pet or simply just leave them be, the dogs are fine with cats, seeing as I have two of my own, the cats will hide at first until they know your pet better. And lastly I have a rabbit who is shy and curious. None have any of my animals have ever been aggressive and all my cats and dogs are fixed. But if needed I can separate and crate your pet if needed.

“Savannah did an amazing job with our dog! She definitely knows how to handle dogs with high energy! She’s really friendly and accommodating- highly recommend!!”

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and will show all the love! I prefer walking/potty breaks but can do overnights/vacations within reason (potty trained, friendly to other animals). I work remote from home and make my own schedule so I can be very flexible as long as the fur babies are local! I can do potty breaks/walks during the day My 2 dogs are free range and don’t need to be tied up. I make them fresh/homemade food and take them on lots of walks. They are very spoiled and well cared for

About: I currently work at an animal shelter, where I care for a wide variety of dogs. My daily responsibilities include administering medications, cleaning and maintaining living spaces, walking, and socializing the animals. I also assist with humane calls and the safe capture of stray dogs. With this experience, you can be confident that your pets will receive their medications on time and that their environment will remain clean and well managed. In addition to my professional work, I have been a lifelong dog owner, which has given me years of personal experience in providing attentive and compassionate care. Pet care is an essential part of my daily routine. At the animal shelter where I currently work, I spend each day administering medications, cleaning, feeding, walking, and socializing dogs. Beyond my work responsibilities, I also care for my own pets at home, which means I’m consistently providing structure, attention, and affection. Because pet care is already a regular part of my professional and personal life, it fits seamlessly into my weekly routine. In my home and in clients’ homes, I make pet care a top priority. I focus on providing a safe, clean, and comfortable environment while following each pet’s individual routine as closely as possible. This includes feeding on schedule, administering medications, going for walks, engaging in playtime, and offering plenty of attention and affection. I also make sure to maintain a tidy space and monitor for any changes in behavior or health so pets stay happy and well cared for. My goal is to make pets feel secure and loved, whether they are in my home or in their own.

About: Hello! My name is Tabatha Garman, I am the sole owner and operator of Special Paws Pet Care and a Registered Veterinary Technician (RVT). As a veterinary technician, I play the nurse role of the veterinary team. I graduated from Kent State University with my Associate's degree in Veterinary Technology in May of 2021 and am currently pursuing my Bachelor's of Integrated Studies focused in animal behavior. While in school for my technician license, I gained various hands-on skills with a variety of animals, from dogs and cats to birds, horses, snakes, and much more. Outside of school, I have trained at numerous veterinary hospitals and gained vital experience in CPR and emergency response. My personal experience caring for animals expands far beyond my education and career, as I have cared for my own, family's, and friend's pets my entire life. As previously mentioned, I have a vast range of experience with different species from small pocket pets and reptiles to large and farm animals. I love working with nearly any species, especially pigs and cows! My medication administration skills are just as vast, including giving various types of injections and fluids, oral pill and liquid administration, topical applications, etc. Any pets with special needs are assured to be taken care of! Specializing in animal behavior, those with unique personalities or who are a bit grumpy or naturally prefer alone time are some of my favorite to work with. I love working to understand them and win them over and am happy to try to work with any type of disposition or behavioral challenges. No job is too big or small. Whether you have a pet that needs daily medication, help getting around, and extra special care, or just want to feel comforted knowing that your furry family member is in great hands, I am happy to care for any and all of them. I am currently dedicating my time to in-home pet care while going to school full-time online, so I am free to fit your pet into my schedule however you may need. While I do personalize my schedule to fit your pet specifically, my typical day is scheduled like this and changed as needed, just to give you a better idea of your pet's time with me: When I arrive, I always spend time making sure your pet is happy, comfortable, and has everything they need. When staying with them overnight, I will keep them company until morning, make sure they have everything they need and get some pets or playtime in, then I will leave as needed to tend to any other appointments, making sure to return to check-in and spend time with them at minimum every 3-4 hours, unless more frequently is needed. Whether you just need a daily check in and play time for your cat while you're away, or if you need someone to take your pup out every couple of hours along with walks and lots of play time, or even if you have an older pup who can't really spend time alone at all, we can definitely make a plan to suit your family purrr-fectly. Your pet's safety is always my top priority. Whether at home, in the car, at the vet, out for a walk, or at the park, I am always extremely diligent to make sure your pet stays safe and sound. I always use doggy seatbelts or enclosures when driving, reflective strips and flashlights at night, ramps and manual assistance for mobility-challenged pups, predator-deterrent to protect them from harm, and vet-approved chews or boredom busters to make sure your pup is happier and healthier when you arrive back home. Out of an abundance of caution, I typically do not have pets I'm watching interact with other pets I'm unfamiliar with (ie: no communal dog parks). In the case that anything does happen while I am with them, I am trained on the safest and most effective way to stop a dog fight, as well as being trained in CPR, emergency triage and response, and homeostatic stabilization. I also always have a list of the nearest emergency hospitals on hand should they ever be needed. I strive to follow all pet-parent's wants and needs for their pets, including whatever training or rules you may have for your pet while they are in my care (crating, treats, toys, etc). If there are any additional safety measures you would like to discuss, just let me know!

About: Hi there- my name is Destiny and I have been an avid animal lover since the day I was born. I have had cats and dogs within my care for as long as I can remember. I have taken in many stray cats and have got them neutered/ spayed and have found homes for them over the years. I believe that all animals are a true gift to us in this life. They are only here for a part of our lives but we are their whole life, so they deserve nothing but the utmost love given to them every day. I will treat your dogs/cats like they are my own. I currently work from home for my full time job, so I have adequate time to go on walks, play, and give your pet the attention it needs. I have a 2 bedroom apartment in Poland, Ohio, so I have many sidewalks and parks all by me to take your fur baby on all the walks and play times it needs. I do have a cat, but he is very sociable and friendly towards dogs.

About: I have years of hands-on experience caring for pets, from playful puppies to senior companions. Whether administering medications, handling special diets, or providing lots of love and exercise, I tailor my care to meet each pet’s unique needs. I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes and energy levels, and I have experience reinforcing basic training commands like sit, stay, and leash walking. My focus on personalized attention sets me apart—I treat every pet like they’re my own, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. If your pet needs extra snuggles, medication reminders, or a steady routine, I’ve got it covered! Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine because I’m available 24/7! Whether it's morning walks, midday check-ins, or overnight stays, I can adapt to your pet's schedule. I prioritize making sure each pet gets the attention, exercise and care they need to feel happy and secure while you're away. Your pet’s routine becomes my routine, ensuring consistency and comfort for them at all times. I follow your pet’s routine closely to keep things as familiar as possible. Whether it’s walks, feeding schedules, or special care instructions, I make sure your pet feels secure in their own space. No matter the setting, my goal is to create a stress-free experience for both you and your pet!

About: I have a dog and have been taking care of her for 8 years. I am also currently working at a doggy daycare so I am constantly around dogs! I currently am working a part time job, so I will have plenty of time to take care of your dog whether it’s a drop in visit or walks! The services I have available are drop in visits and walks. I will come to your house whenever you need me to and I will stay depending on how long you want to me stay! And as for walk go I will walk your dog as long as you need me to or until your dog seems tired!

About: I am a new pet sitter. However, I have experience with my own pets, who were all vastly different from each other. A dachshund, a parrot, and a tarantula. I love all pets, even the unconventional ones. I can handle loud animals, including large parrots, and I’m very patient. I can wash and brush a dog if needed; I would do so for my dachshund on a weekly basis, and his vet commented on how great his skin and coat looked! I am available any day of the week, at any hour. My only other job is DoorDash, and I will make petsitting my primary work, so there is nothing that takes up time in my schedule. You can trust that I’m well grounded and will not call or text to bother you 24/7, unless you want me to. I’m adaptable and can solve minor problems on my own. I’m very easygoing, so I have no problem staying late, coming early, or pet sitting for multiple days in a row.
