Dog Walking Columbus

About: I’ve grown up around animals my entire life and have had both cats and dogs since I was a little girl. Caring for pets has always been a huge part of my life, and I truly love being around animals of all kinds. I currently have three dogs of my own, so I’m very familiar with daily care, walks, feeding routines, playtime, and giving pets the attention and love they deserve. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I’ll care for them like they’re part of my own family. I have a flexible and reliable schedule that allows me to provide consistent pet care throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I am able to accommodate regular visits, overnight care, and extended stays when needed. I understand that pets thrive on routine, so I prioritize dependability and clear communication to ensure each pet receives steady, attentive care while you’re away. I provide calm, attentive care in either my client’s home or my own, always prioritizing each pet’s comfort, safety, and routine. I create a low-stress environment where pets can feel secure and relaxed, following their normal feeding schedules, exercise needs, litter box or habitat care, and any specific instructions provided. I take time to build trust at the pet’s pace, especially with shy or anxious animals, and I pay close attention to their behavior and wellbeing. Communication with pet owners is consistent so you always feel informed and confident your pet is being well cared for.

“Jackie is great, we really appreciate the extra time with our big nervous dog. This was new for all of us and we will be doing this again!”

About: My family has had dogs most of my life, and I had my first cat as a young adult. My animal approach starts with your family’s structure, and my enthusiasm for considerate and trustworthy pet care. I’ve worked with dogs of most ages from puppy through senior pups, and I’ve been around barn cats and kittens since my youth. I have had an indoor cat since he was a young kitten, and currently live with 3 adult cats that I’ve known as grown kitties. I have ample availability to prioritize your pets thanks to a flexible schedule. You don’t need to choose between career ambition and companion care, let me help your household thrive so you can grind without guilt! I’ve had experience with crating and free roaming for my dogs in the past, (My pups have since crossed over the rainbow bridge) and am open to what your home expectations are. The cats I live with now are accustomed to a routine schedule of feeding and interaction at their leisure, with snacks and playtime too.

About: I have had and loved dogs my entire life! I have experience with puppies, senior dogs and everywhere in between. I took a training class with a well-known local dog trainer prior to adopting my last puppy, and I learned a lot! I have also taken care of cats, turtles and chickens. I work part-time, so I'd love to fill my free time by taking care of your pet! A quick walk/drop-in or a longer stay, I can make it work. I will use my experience, but more importantly your instructions, to take care of your pet in the best way possible. You know them best, so tell me what they like and need and I will make it happen!

“Mariane is great to work with and is very accommodating for walking Milo. I plan to use her going forward once my new work schedule is established. Thank you, Mariane!!”

“I'm visiting Mayo and had a sudden change of plan and needed someone to walk my dog on short notice. Grace was quick to answer my message and helped me out in a time in need! She really saved the day and Morgan was happy to go for a walk and get some fresh air. I would use her services again!”

“Emily did great with my two pups. I hired her to walk the dogs while my parent's dog was staying with me to make sure they got extra attention. My Finn warmed up immediately, Lily took a little bit but she always came home happy from her walk. She was always on time and sent lots of cute pictures as updates.”
