Dog Walkers in Cortland, OH

About: As a fellow pet owner of two fur babies, I understand the significance of entrusting your pet's care to someone reliable when you are away. My goal is to provide a safe and nurturing environment, giving you peace of mind that your pet is receiving optimal care during your absence. I currently work full time as a medical assistant but I have availability most Saturdays, Sundays and Mondays and a few days in between on occasions. When stepping into the role of pet sitter, I am not just providing food and water; I become the guardian of a living being’s entire world and I understand safety is the non-negotiable foundation to a prosperous relationship.

About: I have walked dog around my neighborhood for years and would love to take the time to help them get their exercise in for the day! I do have a different schedule week to week but am able to walk dogs either before or after work any day of the week! I have a quite and calm home great for dogs who are more playful or dogs who are on the calm side, and have lots of time to take the best care of them!

“Madison has absolutely been amazing taking care of our girl. Our pup wasn’t feeling great and she made sure to send lots of pictures and updates on how she did while she was there. It made us feel so much better that we knew she was in loving, caring hands!”

About: I've been around animals my whole life and I am the designated sitter among my friends and family. I have experience caring for all kinds of different dogs and cats of all sizes and ages. I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! Taking care of your pets while you are away is my top priority and I will adjust my schedule as needed! I am happy to care for your fur babies in my home or yours! I have a beagle who absolutely adores other animals so your pet will have a playmate if you decide to have them stay with me at my home!

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: 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 in my life since I was young, I also have worked in doggy day care centers in the past and have encountered just about every kind of dog, big and small, crazy and calm and love them all the same :) I am currently free during week days and have a fairly flexible schedule in general and can plan accordingly to needs with at least 24 hours heads up I can care for your pets according to whatever your required instructions may be. Ultimately making sure to keep them safe, fed and feeling loved!

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.

“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: Hi! My name is Olivia and I am 27 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 or even week days I would love to watch your pup. My wife is a basketball coach goes out of town for work a lot so I get lonely. Watching dogs or cats is fun for me. I'm from WV, and went to Marshall University. I'm super active and will walk your dog when needed. Your fur baby will be in good hands! 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: 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.

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.

“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!”

“Stephanie is great!! She sends me photos of Zanya on their walks along with a step counter and I love that. She's very responsive and always updates on how their walks went. Bonus because I have a lot of exotic pets as well and she doesn't discriminate 🥰 Great dog Walker and pet sitter!”

About: I have taken care of all types of breeds and sizes of dogs and cats. Every time family and friends are out of town, I am the first they reach out to to care for their animals! My family always had animals in our house growing up and I foresee a future where my future family does the same! I work from home and have flexibility and availability to care for animals at any time during the day. I am lucky to have a job that can provide me with such flexibility. Right now, most of my free time is spent walking my dog, reading, and binge watching crime documentaries! I will treat your dog just as I treat my own because I know how very special they are to each individual/family. I would only want my animals in the best care, which I will happily provide to yours!

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 can't remember a time in my life when I didn't have pets. I truly love caring for pets of all kinds. Dogs, cats, fish, etc... My schedule is extremely flexible, so I'm able to fit into whatever time slot is needed to best care for your pet, and keep them on a schedule. I feel the best way to care for pets is to earn their trust. It's never a good idea to force yourself on a pet, but to read their body language and take it from there.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was little. We’ve always had up to 5 dogs at a time.

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.
