Dog Walking in Cottage Grove, Youngstown, OH

About: I’m a former first responder and military veteran. 25+ years of hands-on experience caring for dogs from playful pups to seniors and special needs pets. I’ve worked with breeds from tiny Chihuahuas to giant Cane Corsos and English Mastiffs, and I’ve given both oral meds and injections when needed. I picked up practical dog handling skills during my time in the military, and I’ve raised and trained my own pets since I was a kid. Today, I share life with my own sweet dog, and every pet I care for gets the same love, patience, and respect I give my own. Whether they need structure, snuggles, or just someone calm and steady, I’m here to make them feel safe and happy. I’m home full time and available most hours of the day including weekends. I can easily fit into your pet’s routine. Whether your pets needs a lunchtime potty break, morning walk, or evening snuggles, I’m here when you need me. I provide a pet-friendly environment in a great neighborhood just minutes from Mill Creek Park (3 min) and the dog park (10 min). Whether I’m in my home or yours, I focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and cared. I follow any instructions closely, keep routines consistent, and always give each pup the patience and love they deserve.

About: I have had dogs all my life, mostly German Shepards, the one I currently have I was there helping the mom to give birth! She is also very well trained! I know it’s hard to leave them so let me give you peace of mind! I am looking to help those who may be working mornings Monday -Friday. I would be available as early at 7 but no later than 5 I will keep your fury friend company, sending pictures to you to give reassurance and take care of any other needs your pet may have!

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.

“Cara was great with Darby. He takes a little to warm up to people and she didn't give up on him. After a slow start they made it out for their walk and he did well with her.”

About: Hello! My name is Chelsea and I have lived a life with love for all animals in my heart very fruitfully. I personally have two large breed dogs of my own, and one hamster. I’m not shy when it comes to types, ages, or sizes of animals. I am the first person my family and friends leave their animals with because they know that they will find their dogs sleeping next to me on the couch, treated like royalty and family. I work with rescue agencies as well as fostering agencies to ensure stable homes, donated needs are being met, and daily play time is available. I own a large home with a fenced in backyard. I have experience with special needs animals as well. All drop off pets MUST be okay with other dogs. No exceptions!! If you need last minute overnight care you MUST provide the crate, food, and other necessary items. I cannot host puppies without their crates in my home. Please make sure your pets are up to date on their vaccines as well as their preventative medicines! Prices have been adjusted due to rising gas prices. I’m sorry for this inconvenience and when they go back down so will my prices! 💕 I have open availability working around my sons school schedule. I’m a SAHM and work PRN as a nurse & clean Air BNB’s between pet clients. I am always able to work with your schedule! I have a massive fenced in yard with security cameras. All animals have free access to water in two places and feedings are timed scheduled (unless client otherwise states). My home is two stories and I am able to separate animals if need be.

About: I've had dogs as long as I can remember. My last one being an English Mastiff, so no dog is too big for me! I have also rescued and fostered several dogs and I volunteered at Angel's for Animals I am Retired Army so I have plenty of availability for your needs. I'm here to help walk your dog, do checks in for any pet and house sitting. I don't like to think of your animal as a pet. I like to respect they are living creatures with their own personalities and treat them accordingly.

About: My life has always been filled with dogs and cats! I was my parents’ go-to house- and dog-sitter starting when I was 18, and over the years, I’ve cared for and owned dogs and cats of all ages, from playful puppies and kittens to senior pets needing extra attention. Currently, I’m the proud cat-dad of two lovable fur-balls. I’m also comfortable with small animals—professionally, I’ve cared for rat and mice colonies while completing my CITI safety and care training. Plus, My year spent with my pets have taught me how to read animal body language, so I know how to make pets feel safe and at ease. I work from home, so my schedule is flexible. If you’re looking for someone reliable and experienced sitter to drop by and care for your furry (or small and squeaky) family/friends, I’d love to help! Let’s chat about what your pet needs to feel happy and cared for. Currently, I work from home and my availability is flexible if I have a day or so notice. Also I have two cats, but miss having dogs around would love to take yours on some walks. I can feed, walk, or play with your family pets in your home. In addition, I can give them bathroom breaks or clean up litter/messes.

About: I don’t remember a time in my life that I wasn’t taking care of animals! Whether it be while growing up or starting to dogsit/walk in high school, there was never a time a fur baby wasn’t relying on me. And I wouldn’t have it any other way! I have a flexible schedule which allows me to help out with my friends and families animals, as well as volunteer for local animal shelters. I have experience with dogs of all ages and levels of care. I know how difficult it can be to trust someone with your pet (I have used Rover myself when I go out of town) so I assure you I will provide the kind of care and attention to your pet that I would want given to my own! :) I’m currently working part time. My job offers flexible hours, so I have the opportunity to accommodate whatever schedule you and your pet require. :) I will happily go over what your pets routine is and abide by whatever you’re most comfortable with! If your dog is used to being walked at certain times, crated, etc. The well being and safety of your animal is my upmost concern so whatever you need me to do to guarantee that, is what I’ll do!

About: I have been around dogs my entire life. I can not remember a time in my life that I didn't have a furry friend (or 2) I just really enjoy having them around. Learning their personalities is a challenge sometimes but its a challenge I enjoy. I have experience in most breeds as well. I understand that some dogs need more/less then others. I will follow your friends needs, and your instructions. I am currently a stay at home mom so I can work my schedule around your furry friend and your needs. I am only gone a short time to take my daughter to and from school during the school year. I live in home with a pretty decent sized backyard. I also have 2 huskies of my own who love to have new friends over. If for some reason they do not get along (because just like humans, that can happen) your furry friend will come first and my dogs will go ahead and spend time in their crates. I can also crate your friend if that is what you would like. I have no problem leaving my sliding door open for the dogs to go in and out on their own. I enjoy sitting outside and playing with my dogs, as well as yours. There is also a dog park not too far from me that I would take your friend to if that is something that you would like for me to do. I understand that sometimes dogs need a break from each other as well. They are definitely furry humans when it comes to their needs/wants/feelings. If your friend has a special diet, feeding time, or even a potty schedule I will follow that as well.

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. With my mom working at a vet clinic, I believe I stand out because of knowledge that was passed down to me. I have a part time job where I work mainly evenings after 4pm, so I’m available most mornings and afternoons. Sometimes I work mid shifts, but they don’t start till noon, so I almost always have mornings free. I have a partially fenced in yard with a runner lead for my own dog. I have a crate available if needed. I have a park not far from my home, so I usually take my dog on walks there.

“She was awesome with my little guy. At first he was being a stinker and hid under the bed and barked, I told her she could go and not worry about it. Then I get a picture message of him walking outside fine. Definitely took the time and had the patience to work with Orion to build that trust. Definitely, definitely highly recommend. She is amazing!”

About: Hello my name is Kyra. I am a certified vet assistant with 5 years of experience taking care of animals. Just looking for extra time to help animals and to help people in anyway that I can. Whether that’s walking your dogs, stopping in to feed them or to administer medications. I can even do some grooming options like nail trims and ear cleanings. I am off every Tuesday and the weekend. And my afternoons are mostly open. My schedule can be flexible. Just shot me a message and I looking forward to meeting your pet's. I am available in the afternoon most days. Off on Tuesdays and the weekend. I’m available for dog walking, stoping in to play/socialize/give food. Can also administer medications. Open to nail trims and ear cleaning's. At my workplace we practice something called fear free. Which simple just means that we do not push and force anything. We work on trust. For example, by sitting on the floor and giving them space to approach me on their own. Giving treats, food, spray cheese to show that this is a safe place and that they get rewarded.

Sometimes when I work it will be from 12pm-11pm so I would not be able to stay there all day. I’ll make sure to put that in my availability, and if that’s not a problem with you just send me a message and we can figure something out! Also, if I know in advance about any pet sitting, I’m able to get days off, so keep that in mind! I am able to do any care that you need in your own home! I am unable to pet sit at my house for the time being but I am working on it!
