Dog Walkers in Cortland, OH

“Jessica has now become our weekly dog walker and I cant express how thankful we are to have her! We have two dogs, one being a new puppy. We needed help with potty training/breaking up the day while we are at work and she has been extremely flexible and SO kind with our dogs. She sends detailed notes about time visited, which is extremely helpful with a new pup. Also, the best pictures of our dogs that give us an extra smile and laugh to get through our work day! Jessica has been amazing to us and our dogs!”

About: I have taken care of family pets since I was young. As I grew older, I adopted my own pets and have volunteered in animal shelters as well. I have always had dogs and cats in my life and it has grown to guinea pigs and a bearded dragon. I'm able to give baths, do walks, and bathroom breaks and provide ample amounts of play time. I am available for Labor Day weekend! I am also a full time stay at home mother so currently all of my days and times of the week are free and open, even weekends. I let all of my animals on my furniture if they want in my home. They all have their special homes and spots where they can be in peace until they come out with the rest of the family. My home is kept clear of dangerous items, tiny small toys for example that pets might eat.

About: I've taken care of all sorts of dogs since I was ten. I've dealt with all kinds of situations and messes, including breaking up fights. I'm currently working part time and studying for some credentials I'm looking at getting, so I'll have plenty of time for fur babies and their needs. If they have a schedule I will keep to it and if they don't I'll keep them to a general schedule barring any changes needed for each individual fur baby

“Anna is terrific! My dog Opie loves her and she clearly loves Opie. Plus she knows so much about dogs and gives great advice. And she's fine to talk to. So , highest recommendation!”

“Without hesitation, without any doubt I would have Kelly watch our fur babies again! We have two terrier/yorkie mixes. Our girl is very anxious and timid, especially around strangers. However, at our very first meet BOTH our dogs allowed Kelly to pet them and walk them. There are just certain people that animals gravitate to and just know that they have that kindness about them-Kelly is one of those people!”

“Janet is so dependable. She’s literally the first person I go to when I need someone to watch Randy. She always sends pictures and updates and Randall LOVES her!!!”

About: Been taking care of dogs all my life..I also have a furry friend of my own I enjoy spending time with them and walking them I am available in the morning and mid afternoon time I am available everyday of the week I can do drop in visits or just taking your pet for a walk I always spend time with my dog. I enjoy playing with him. I give him monthly flea treatments and also take him to the vet for his care.

About: I've taken care of different animals my whole life. I have personal experience taking care of my senior dog that was blind. During that time,I learned how to give oral medications and instill eye drops. Safety was a main priority. My house looked like an obstacle course, with cushions and pillows around anything he could run into, baby gates at the stairs, etc,but it was all for the love of my dear Comet. Friends and family have relied on me to take care of their dogs and cats as well. Whether it was a drop in visit, a walk, a bath or an over night stay, etc; I enjoyed every bit of it. Animals have my heart, even if they are not my own. They are my escape and bring me so much joy and happiness. With todays society and how some people treat animals, I believe us animal lovers need to come together and give every animal that we can the love and treatment they deserve. That is why I would be a good choice to care for your family member, I would treat them as if they were my own. I currently work a full time job from home. I work 7am to 3:30 pm. I have every weekend off. I could easily have your dog at my home for the day or do drop in visits and walks after 3:30. If I do services at my home, I have a big back yard,where I will have a fenced in play area so your dog can play freely. I also have a large back deck that can be enclosed with baby gates. I have a 4 year old male Maltese Yorkie, I love spending time outside with him, especially in the summer months, so that is most likely where we would be. There is an umbrella on the deck and a large tree that provides plenty of shade. I also have a baby pool that is always filled with fresh water,so they will be able to take a dip to cool off or play ,along with a sprinkler that my dog loves to play in. There is also a long gravel driveway next door to me that leads to a farm that I can take your dogs for walks on. My home is clutter free and smoke free. Nothing is out that my dog could get into and potentially cause harm. For dog walking, I ask that your dog has a harness and a reliable leash. There are a few places that I take my dog for walks. Those include, Mosquito Lake, Buhl Park , a development that my parents live in and a development my boyfriends mother lives in. I am very familiar with all of these locations. Mosquito Lake also has a dog park that I could take your dog to ,if you would like. If there is an area your dog is familiar with and has been to or if you live in a development , I would be more than happy to walk them there. I stay alert and always stay aware of my surroundings. During transportation to and from anywhere, I have a backseat barrier in my car. I am all about keeping my dog and others pets safe, so whatever I can do to achieve that is what I will do. For drop in visits, I ask for details about your pets needs and what needs to be done. During my visits I will treat your fur babies as if they were my own. I will spend time with them and give them the attention they need before I leave.

About: I have been helping care for pets for the past couple years. I am looking to continue caring for your pets as if they are mine. I currently work from home most days so I can fit pets into my day easily. Message me or check my calendar to see if I’m available! I can easily crate your dogs and I will always treat them as if they are my own. I can cater the needs of the dog and the dogs training.

About: With over 7 years of dedicated pet care experience, I’ve had the privilege of working with dogs of every shape, size, and personality—from tiny lap dogs who think they own the couch to 100-pound “lap dogs” who also think they own the couch. Having two Dalmatians of my own (yes, just two—not quite 101, though some days it feels like it), I’ve learned that every dog has its quirks, needs, and ways of showing love. My job—and my passion—is to adapt to those needs so your pup feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. Over the years, I’ve gained extensive experience in: • Puppy care & training basics – Patience is key when you’re working with a puppy. I’ve helped plenty of pups learn routines, practice good behavior, and channel their endless energy into positive play. (Think of me as the substitute teacher who actually keeps the classroom under control.) • Senior dog care – Older dogs hold a special place in my heart. I’m attentive to their comfort, health, and pace, making sure walks are slower, joints are supported, and they get the extra snuggles they deserve. • High-energy breeds – If there’s one thing two Dalmatians have taught me, it’s that dogs with lots of energy need structure, exercise, and mental stimulation. I’m no stranger to long walks, fetch marathons, and outsmarting clever pups who always seem to know where the treat jar is. • Behavioral awareness – I pay close attention to body language and signals. Whether a dog is shy, excitable, or somewhere in between, I know how to adjust my approach so they feel safe and respected. What really sets me apart is a mix of professionalism and genuine care. I take pride in being reliable, detail-oriented, and communicative. You can expect regular updates, photos, and even a few funny stories about what your pup is up to (spoiler alert: it usually involves something cute, goofy, or both). I treat every dog as if they were my own, which means your furry family member will always be in good hands. At the end of the day, my goal is simple: to give you peace of mind and your dog a positive, stress-free experience. Whether it’s a puppy still figuring out the world, a senior who needs extra TLC, or a big goofball who just wants endless belly rubs, I’ll make sure your pup feels loved, cared for, and maybe even a little spoiled (don’t worry, I won’t tell). So if you’re looking for someone with experience, patience, and a true passion for dogs—plus the stamina to keep up with high-energy breeds—I’d love the chance to meet you and your four-legged best friend. Dogs aren’t just pets—they’re family, and caring for them is more than a hobby for me—it’s a lifestyle. I structure my daily and weekly routine around giving every dog in my care the attention, exercise, and love they deserve. With two energetic Dalmatians of my own, I’ve built a life that revolves around walks, playtime, mental stimulation, and plenty of belly rubs—so rest assured, your dog will never feel ignored or under-stimulated. My typical day is designed around dog happiness and safety. Mornings often start with brisk walks, breakfast, and some outdoor play to burn off energy, followed by structured training or enrichment activities. Afternoons might include more walks, play sessions, or cozy downtime for dogs who need a little nap or extra attention. Evenings are all about companionship, cuddles, and quality bonding time—because every dog deserves to feel loved, whether they’re a tiny puppy or a senior with a little extra wisdom (and maybe a little extra stubbornness). What sets my routine apart is that dogs are the priority. I schedule my days so I can fully commit to their needs: no rushing, no distractions, and no “oh, I have other plans” excuses. Whether it’s a walk, a game of fetch, socialization with other friendly pups, or just quiet companionship, every moment is focused on your dog’s comfort, happiness, and safety. And yes, this includes being flexible—if your dog prefers early walks, extra playtime, or a slow morning, I adjust my schedule accordingly. I also make sure to communicate with owners regularly, sending updates, photos, and little stories so you always know how your dog is doing. You’ll see exactly how much energy they’ve burned, how many tail wags they’ve given, and maybe even how many spots your Dalmatian-inspired sitter has discovered along the way. At the end of the day, my schedule isn’t just convenient—it’s designed to provide total peace of mind for pet parents and a safe, happy, and stimulating environment for dogs. If you’re looking for a sitter who treats your dog like family, dedicates their full time and energy to their well-being, and can handle a little chaos with a smile (thank you, Dalmatians) When you invite me into your home, I treat it with the same respect and care I give my own. I understand that your dog isn’t just a pet—they’re a beloved member of your family—and that your home is your sanctuary. My top priorities are safety, trust, and creating a comfortable environment for both your dog and your household. I maintain a safe environment by carefully monitoring your dog at all times, following any special instructions you provide, and making sure your home is secure and organized. From managing access to rooms, ensuring doors and gates are properly closed, to keeping an eye on potential hazards, I take proactive steps to prevent accidents and provide peace of mind. Trust is the foundation of every house sitting arrangement. I am fully committed to respecting your property, adhering to your routines, and communicating regularly with updates, photos, and any important notes about your dog’s behavior or needs. You can feel confident that your dog is not only safe but receiving consistent care and attention while you’re away. Finally, I create a welcoming and calm environment for your dog. Whether it’s maintaining familiar routines, offering plenty of playtime, or providing quiet companionship, I ensure your pet feels secure and loved. My goal is to give you the confidence to enjoy your time away while knowing your dog is happy, healthy, and safe in a trusted home environment.

About: I have been a certified dog trainer for 15 years, a boarder/sitter for 10 years, and a foster for 2. I do what I love! Pups are my full-time job so fitting them into my lifestyle is never inconvenient. Training, boarding, daytime care, or I can host your pet's birthday party with a cake or pupcakes, decorations, and fun games! All pets that come to my home are treated like my own. We have 2 acres for plenty of play space, walks, runs, and exploring. I am a dog foster and often have dogs in my home, but am able to also have your pet/pets as the only ones if preferred!

About: I currently have three boxers…and if you know the breed, they take quite a bit of patience to raise! We go for walks all the time and I’m a good leash trainer, and have experience in leash aggression and helping to break it. I work from home and have a flexible schedule that I can work with you to find an agreeable arrangement. Available on short notice as well! I would be happy to keep your dog, or dogs, company, feed them, have play time or just share some snuggles until you get back!

About: Hi! My name is Olivia and I am 26 years old! I've had dogs my whole life and my dream is to own my own dog sitting business. I am currently a Physical Therapist full time. On the weekends I would love to watch your puppy. My fiance goes out of town for work a lot so I get lonely! I am a full time physical therapist. I get off on fridays at 1 pm so I would be able to watch your dog over the weekend! I have two friendly small dogs. There is a dog park close by that I could take your animals to. My dogs sleep with me and are crate trained when I leave.

About: Hi! I’m Rylee, and I have never met an animal I couldn’t make friends with! I have been petsitting as a side gig since I was 16 years old, and I have also spent some time working in a professional doggie daycare, and have loved every minute of it! There has never been a time in my life when I did not have a pet in my home. I have experience with finicky animals, altered & unaltered animals, animals on medication with a time schedule, senior cats & dogs, and young puppies and kittens. I am so excited to meet and bond with you and your fur baby! I do not currently work a full time job so I am available for any hurdle life throws your way! Stuck at work? I’ll check in ‘til you can get there! Petsitter had a family emergency while you’re on vacation? I’m on my way! I am available for regular scheduled visits aligned with your life schedule, no matter when you need me! I love a schedule. I am very easy to hand a pre-established schedule and be expected to follow it to a T. I am also very happy to sit and decide with you what schedule works best with your pet and lifestyle! I am also committed to keeping you in the loop, expect plenty of pictures and updates throughout the visit!

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was little. We’ve always had up to 5 dogs at a time. I know the temperaments on dogs can change and it takes time for them to warm up to new people and surroundings. I’ve had experience with small, big, young and senior dogs! I have a car, I work 5 days a week, but I’m free before and after work, I love walking and getting out of the house! I take care of my dogs on a daily basis, all the essentials cares such as feeding, watering, bathing, taking them outside and sometimes walks.

About: I grew up around cats, dogs, horses, and bunnies and have taken care of my friends and family's pets on and off for the past few years. I also have 4 pets of my own that I love so much!! I am definitely an animal person and love playing and snuggling up with all types of animals! I have a very flexible part-time job and only work 8-10 hours a week so I am home almost all of the time! If I have something small come up in my schedule it is usually only a couple of hours so your pets will never go longer than 4-5 hours without me there! At my home, we have a fenced in yard to keep our pets safe and a separate area of the house away from my children where they are free to get on the couches and play. I treat every pet like my own and am very aware of animal behaviors - both good and bad - so I can appropriately handle situations where a pet may be feeling scared, uncomfortable, or excited and ready to play.

About: I have taken care of my own cats and dogs since I was 8. A couple years ago I decided I wanted to start professionally pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors and I did just that! While they are on vacation or at work, they have relied on me to walk, feed, play, and cuddle with their furry friends and I hope you will allow me to do the same for you! I am currently working part-time in the mornings, however, will always make time for your fur babies! During the day, I walk and feed my own animals and can do the same for you! Whatever care you need for your animals, I can do (besides giving medicine through needles and running)! If you need me to walk them a mile each morning I can do it! I can follow any schedule you give me if your furry friend follows one and can crate them if needed! I love sleeping with cats and dogs so that won’t be a problem either if they like sleeping with you! If your dog is a cuddler, no worries, cuddles are my favorite thing!

About: I have had dogs and cats for my entire life and have been trusted to care for them many times, along with close friends pets! I‘m currently on summer break trying to make money to help me go to college at WVU this fall with an open schedule all summer! I volunteered at my local animal shelter for many years and learned basic animal behavior, and can apply my knowledge to catering to your pets.
