Dog Walkers in Columbus, KY

“Piper (9 year old German shepherd) loves her walks with Conner! Conner does a great job with her. Piper isn’t the best with other dogs and Conner does a great job with making sure she’s comfortable on walks! I would recommend Conner for your puppy needs!”

About: I have taken care of pets for friends, family, and my own for over 30 years. I foster for the Cavalier Rescue USA and find fostering very rewarding. I will take care of your pets like they are my own. I work full-time but can do drop-ins in the evening during weekdays, on the weekends my availability is flexible. I do require a meet and greet before confirming a booking. Boarding in my home is possible with cat-friendly dogs. Overnight stays and boarding will be considered upon request. I live in a townhouse with an amazing courtyard. My cat loves to hang out and lay in the sun and relax. She loves to hide in the areas of the courtyard that have large plants. The area in Lexington where I live has great sidewalks and greenspace, thus a great place for exercise for your dog should they board with me.

“Mackenzie has been really great. Bruno is enjoying his walks with her.”

“Angelee did a great job with our dog during his first “alone” time in the house during vacation. She reliably kept the routine and was super communicative, making sure we knew all was well. We’ll be sure to ask her again :)”

About: Ever since I was a baby I have had a dog in my household. As soon as I could get a dog of my own I got Bentley, my German Shepherd/Coon Hound mix. I adopted him at only 6 weeks old back in 2020. Growing up neighbors would ask me to cat sit when they were on vacation which included changing litter, feeding, and playing with the cat daily. Additionally, I have been asked to help walk dogs and to house sit in the past! I live in the Hamburg area and work full time at the University of Kentucky. My traditional work hours are 8am-5pm M-F with an hour lunch break. I would be willing to carve out time in my lunch to walk or care for pets. I do not work weekends, and have the most availability to care for pets during that time! I am extremely trustworthy and will abide by any rules you have for your fur baby. I am experienced with crating, and have no concerns with helping to put your animal back in a crate after caring for it. My fur baby, Bentley, is also extremely dog friendly so if your animal needs socialization with another, I could provide that! Unfortunately, due to the nature of my living environment I cannot board myself as I live in an apartment.

About: I am pretty flexible around my work schedule with caring for dogs, I can find a way to make sure your dogs are a top priority in my daily schedule. Since my work schedule does range, I will keep my availability updated. I have always taken care of my own dogs and other people’s almost my whole life since I was a preteen. I absolutely adore getting to know other dogs and giving/receiving love from them. I’ve been training with dogs since I was 11 years old in basic manners, tricks, and agility, so I am experienced in training puppies and younger dogs. I am always up for learning more about other dogs and their personalities as well. They are such intriguing and beautiful animals. I make sure to walk dogs before and after work. Dog park a few times a week. (If that’s in their routine) And lots of cuddle time! Brushing and brushing teeth are weekly tasks normally. I ask for the pets’ normal routine. This way, it is less stressful on them that their routine doesn’t change as much with their person/people gone.

About: Ready for tail wags and endless fun! Having raised my own pups for over a decade, I’ve experienced it all—from the wild puppy phases to the sweet senior years. I know exactly how to keep animals engaged, safe, and thoroughly entertained. Your dog will get all the playtime, attention, and expert care they deserve!

In your home, I strictly follow your rules, keep litter boxes pristine, walk dogs on their usual routes, and secure your property. In my home, I provide a fully pet-proofed, welcoming environment where cats and dogs get dedicated attention, structured playtime, and their own safe spaces to rest comfortably.

About: *Prior to sending a booking request, please be aware that I work 8:30AM to 5:30PM M-F. If this does not work for your pet’s needs, please do not send a request* When you book with me, I COME TO YOU! Your pets will never have to leave the place they know and love. I know leaving your fur babies is difficult, so I make it a point to respond to all messages almost instantly when I am not working my regular 8:30am-5:30pm job, and within 1-2 hours when I am at work. I am experienced with dogs and cats of all ages and love them as my own! I request detailed instructions on feeding and any other important details to be sent via message or written at your home. My weekends and nights after work stay flexible: sometimes I am gone for a couple hours to visit friends, but if a pre-set plan with my friends is intended to take more than 3 hours, I will ensure you are aware ahead of time so we can determine whether I am the best fit for your pets. I only pet sit in the client's home as I believe animals feel safer in an environment they know and trust. I also live in a small space where I cannot have more than my one dog, so bringing more animals home is not an option.

About: Growing up, my family always had pets. From the tiniest hamster to a large pitbull, I have always been surrounded by pets. I’ve been babysitting pets since I was young and even had the opportunity to foster a dog as a teenager. I understand how important our fur babies are to us! I am out of school for the summer and have plenty of time on my hands! I am available to dog walk or simply just pop ins during the day to check on your pet. I’m my home, pets are members of the family. They’re given the same love and respect that any other family member would receive. For me, this has always reflected when I’m caring for a pet that I am pet sitting. When they’re in my care, I view them as family.

About: I’m a huge dog lover and have been all my life! Growing up, my family always had dogs (who were more like family), and I currently have a boxer mix named Duke. Duke is my best friend! I’m a nurse at UK who is just wanting a little extra money. I’d love to hang out with your pets! I usually work twelve hour shifts at the hospital at the beginning of the week (Mon-Wed). So days later in the week would work better for me! I live in an apartment and would be happy to have other animals over, if my dog Duke and other animals get along. A meet and greet is preferred with other animals before coming to stay with me :)

About: Hi! I’m the kind of person the animal distribution system always seems to find. I currently have 3 cats and 1 dog of my own, and I’ve spent basically my entire life caring for animals of all kinds. I’m newer to Rover, but not new to pet care. I regularly pet sit for friends, family, coworkers and whoever I’m referred to and can provide reviews/references if desired. I also previously worked as an animal caretaker at PetSmart, where I gained experience caring for a wide variety of personalities, energy levels, and temperaments. I’m very intuitive, patient, and nurturing with animals and genuinely try to form bonds with them instead of just “checking a box” during visits. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, clingy, anxious, or just wants someone calm around, I do my best to meet them where they’re at when they’re missing you! I currently offer drop-ins and walks, and I’m big on communication and photo updates. As an amateur animal photographer, there’s a good chance you’ll receive unexpectedly cute pictures while you’re away. I look forward to meeting your animals and becoming their new weird aunt… If I’m lucky! I’m currently working as a part-time caretaker with a flexible schedule M-F so I have plenty of times available to walk and play with your fur babies! My home is available for boarding even just a night or long weekends as well if it’s a good fit :) My home is a pet and plant sanctuary! Lots of time is spent cuddling, playing and bonding. I tend to each individual pets needs and routines. I have a fenced in backyard for playtime and a great neighborhood for walks/sniffs. I can crate your dog or continue any training you have going on with them as well. Feline friendly with lots of climbing and toys.
