Dog Walkers in Cortland, OH

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'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!

“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!”

Nichole D.

“Dependable and friendly. My dog Ollie loved her from the first visit. She sent pictures and regular updates. Couldn't have asked for a better experience. Thank you Emma.”

About: Hi! My name is Olivia and I am 28 years old! I've had dogs my whole life and my dream is to own my own dog sitting business. I am currently a Travel Physical Therapist full time. On the weekends or even week days I would love to watch your pup. 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: 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.

“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, I’m Tate a lifelong animal lover with experience as unique as the pets I care for! I grew up surrounded by animals—horses, dogs, geese, and barn cats—and I’ve been a trusted sitter for everything from puppies to parrots, bottle babies to bearded dragons. I have a special heart for pets with extra needs, including those with anxiety, reactivity, or medical concerns. I’m experienced with insulin administration, glucose monitoring, and special meal prep—your pet’s routine is safe with me. While my husband was serving in the Air Force, I spent four years caring for military families’ pets near Dyess AFB while completing my college degree. I’ve worked with dogs, cats, chickens, exotics—you name it, I’ve probably cuddled it! I genuinely feel like I speak their language. Whether your pet is high-energy, shy, or needs a little extra TLC, I’ll meet them where they’re at—with love, patience, and lots of care. Pet care isn’t just something I fit into my routine—it’s something my routine feels incomplete without. After earning my degree in graphic design and moving across the country, I had to say goodbye to the fur family I sat for in Texas. That shift made me realize just how much joy and purpose pet sitting brought to my everyday life. These days, I work from home on flexible, self-paced art and design projects, which means I have the freedom to take breaks, make visits, and give pets the attention they deserve—whether it’s a midday walk, medication, or just some much-needed love. Caring for animals brings balance and warmth to my day, and I genuinely look forward to every tail wag, meow, chirp, or cuddle. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, my top priority is maintaining their usual routine and environment to minimize stress and keep them feeling safe and secure. I take time to understand each pet’s specific needs, whether that’s playtime outside, quiet companionship, or extra TLC for pets who are shy or reactive. My approach is experience-focused—I’m not just there to check a box, but to make sure your pets are truly cared for and comforted while you’re away. I also believe in leaving your home as tidy (or better!) than you left it. I often vacuum or sweep, take out the trash, bring in mail, and keep up with litter boxes, enclosures, and yard clean-up. My goal is to provide total peace of mind—both for your pets and for you.

About: I’ve taken care of animals of all kinds since before I was in elementary school. I have had a dog of my own for 10 years and I have been relied on by friends and family members to watch their animals when they are away. I’m currently a full-time college student at Ohio University, so taking care of pets is more of a weekend or holiday gig for me! I could fit a daily walk in to my schedule too! However you need me to care for your pets, I can do it! I am incredibly patient when it comes to animals and am willing to do just about anything to make them happy, comfortable, and well taken care of.

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: 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 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: Hello my name is Kerri, I have grown up with animals most of my life, I've dealt with animals in many different sizes, I currently have 3 dogs and 6 cats. I do have experience walking dogs, bathing them, as well as bathing cats. I volunteer at Animal Welfare League of Trumbull County, I have been volunteering here for past few months. I'm currently getting my certification for Interior Designer, I'm normally working on a flexible schedule. I don't take any pets on Sundays. I will make sure that any pet in my care is getting their daily needs, also if there is any certain task that needs to be done like dishes or small things that can make your day easier. So that you can enjoy your time with your pets when you get home.

About: I’ve been around all sorts of animals for my whole life and have a passion for caring for them. My family used to have horses, goats, birds, turtles, hamsters, squirrels, dogs, and cats growing up. My mom has been breeding German Shepards consistently for about 5 years now. I’ve helped her raise numerous litters and have spent countless hours playing with puppies. We also have 9 dogs total, 8 being German Shepards and one little dog, so I am more than comfortable taking care of dogs and happy to do so. If I were to stay over to watch your animals I could provide care for them up until 9 in the morning and when I return home from work at around 3:30. That would be Monday through Friday and then I have complete availability on the weekends. A few of our dogs stay inside during the day and night. Then our other dogs each have their own kennels that are big enough to run around in. We crate them separately at night. We also have a big backyard that is fenced in, where they can roam around and play.

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'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 had animals my whole life and I have love for all kinds of fur babies. I can’t wait to meet yours and shower them with love and attention! I just graduated college and am applying for corporate jobs at the moment, but so far am primarily pet sitting so my schedule is very open. I do not care for pets in my home as it is a shared space with roommates and pets. Thank you for your time and understanding.
