Dog Walking Dayton

About: I currently have two pomskies, a russian blue, and a black cat. I also had two 80 lbs Weimaraners, a black cat, and a teddy bear hamster growing up as well as taking care of all the neighbors pets when they would go on vacation prior to starting Rover! I now have interacted with almost every size of dog and multiple cats through my services. - I was a dual-sport athlete in college where I did gymnastics and track, and I currently weight lift. I preface this because some pet owners in the past have said I appear to be a smaller girl but I am stronger than I look and have walked/taken care of big dogs and very high energy dogs😂 - My services include: •30 minute dog walks include a fun stroll around your neighborhood to give your pet some fresh air and exercise during the day. •30 minute drop-ins include potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and of course plenty of love to make sure your pet is comfortable while you’re away. You may book two per day! •I’m always open to any extra needs or modifying for your situation!! I’m currently in law school and have class mid-day from August to May. I have mornings and evenings/nights open for drop in visits and dog walking during these months. From May to August, I work very early mornings 5x a week. I’m free 2pm and onwards during the summer months for drop-ins and dog walking services. I also stop by prior to my 6am start time for work to do drop-in visits as well. Please don’t be afraid to reach out for anything at all! •I always allow meet-and-greets for a quick 10 minute appointment (free) prior to any drop-ins or walking services so that I’m no stranger to you or your pet before I stop by for the first service. This also allows us to establish what needs your pet may have and your expectations for me. These aren’t mandatory to be able to book with me, just solely a comfort thing! •I remember the way pet items were stored in your home and return them back to the way they were after I’m done using them. •I always message you and ask for permission prior to entering any other part of the house that’s not necessary to the service. This rarely happens, but for example: a dog I came to walk was sleeping in the master bedroom so I messaged the owner first prior to retrieving him for our walk😂

“Amber was a pleasure to work with. She communicated even minor updates, cared so much that she cleaned up a small excitement piddle on the floor, and other things she noticed as things to be aware of. She was kind enough to also move a delivered package indoors for us. We absolutely look forward to future care with Amber as the need arises.”

“Mary is awesome! Our dog is so happy when we get home. 🥰”

“Tamany treated my pup with so much care and he loved spending time with her and her daughter. He got so excited seeing them. He knew that he was going to have a great walk. This was my first experience using Rover and I was so worried about trusting my baby with a stranger. Tamany arranged a meet and greet first to make sure that she would be a good fit. I knew within the first 5 minutes that she would be perfect. Thank you Tamany for treating Remmy like he was your pup! I would recommend her in a heartbeat!”

About: I may be new to Rover, but I’ve grown up around dogs and currently have a dog of my own, so I understand the patience, attention, and care pets need every day. I’ve also helped friends and family care for their dogs, including feeding, walking, playing, and making sure they feel comfortable while their owners are away. What makes me different is that I truly treat every dog like family and want them to feel safe, loved, and cared for, not just watched. Since I am not in school right now, I have a very flexible schedule throughout the week and weekends! I’d love to help care for your pets and make sure they feel comfortable and loved while you’re away. I provide care for pets in my client’s home so they can stay comfortable in a familiar environment and keep their normal routine. I make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and bathroom breaks, and I always try to make them feel safe and cared for while their owners are away. I also respect my client’s home and keep them updated with photos and messages for peace of mind.

“Meghann has taken my dog out multiple times. Today I came home from work and I noticed that she had cleaned up an accident that my dog had before Meghann arrived to let her out. I feel safe with her knowing where my house key is. She is also very responsive.”

About: Hi, My name is Ava! I would absolutely love to get to know every dog’s unique personality, whether they’re an energetic puppy, a laid-back senior, or a dog with special needs. I have hands-on experience caring for puppies as young as newborns, senior dogs, and dogs with disabilities, as well as administering both oral medications and injections when needed. I understand that every pet has different routines, energy levels, and comfort needs, and I take pride in following your instructions carefully so your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. My goal is for you to have complete peace of mind knowing your pet is in capable, dependable hands. - Please book at least 2 days in advance whenever possible. - I kindly ask for at least 24 hours’ notice for cancellations for all services. - If you have a last-minute request, feel free to reach out, as I may still be able to accommodate depending on my schedule! As an online student at the University of Arizona and a part-time employee at a professional dog grooming salon, caring for animals is already a part of my everyday life. My flexible class schedule allows me to plan my days around the pets I care for, whether that means walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, or keeping up with medication schedules. While my work and school commitments may occasionally affect my availability, I do my best to be as flexible and accommodating as possible and communicate any scheduling changes well in advance. Providing dependable, attentive care is something I genuinely enjoy, and I strive to make every pet feel comfortable while giving owners complete peace of mind. I have a fenced in yard that my personal dogs love to play in. I also love to bring my dogs elsewhere to play, as long as I can supervise them. I care for every pet as if they were my own by following your care instructions closely and paying attention to the little details. Whether I’m dog walking, stopping by for drop-in visits, or staying overnight in your home, I focus on keeping your pet’s routine consistent with feeding, potty breaks, exercise, medication, and plenty of affection. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to provide reliable, attentive care that helps both you and your pet feel completely at ease.

About: Though I’m new to Rover, I've watched animals for friends, family, and employers for the past 10 years and would love to chat with you to see if I can help you with yours. As a former receptionist at an emergency vet clinic and with extensive experience with my own fur babies, I'm very aware of the health risks to both cats and dogs and have training in recognizing signs of distress. I will work with you to establish an emergency plan beforehand if you are going on extended trips. I also have experience with several vets in the area and even bringing animals to the animal chiropractor. I know that every animal's personality is unique, and routines are important for managing stress. My goal is to be that trustworthy, consistent, and dependable addition to your animal's care team. We always had multiple cats and dogs at one time in my family home growing up. They were more than my animals; they were my brothers and sisters and beloved friends. I've loved and cared for 3 of my cats and 2 of my dogs into their senior years and through medical complications. I have experience with administering medications, including insulin to cats, animals with arthritis, and care after major procedures. I currently have open availability during weekdays M-F. I'm here to provide weekday support via check-ins and walks for busy families, as well as support with home visits if you are on vacation. I do work weekends, so my availability over weekends is limited. I respect all house rules and work with you to get every detail of care, big or small. You set how many updates you’d like to receive when away, but it’s standard for me to write a document of all activity and behavior after each of my visits for you and your vet to reference at any time. I’m happy to do initial home visits to make sure care works for us both.

“Cassie does a wonderful job with our puppy! She’s on time and knows what she needs, potty, food or water or just some good hugs and companionship! Thank you so much for being so great for her! It’s a comfort to know she’s being so well cared for while we have to work.”

About: Growing up, my parents frequently relied on me to take care of our rat terriers while they were at work - this includes feeding them, taking them out for potty breaks before/ after school, playing with them, etc. Because I’ve been around rat terriers I’m very familiarized with their personalities and high energy levels. I also have experience walking pitbulls and Great Pyrenees breeds, as my boyfriends parents used to own both breeds and I would walk them frequently (: - I also have experience with giving medications to dogs; one of my rat terriers has bad seasonal allergies and receives medication (a liquid) daily with his dinner. Another one of my rat terriers suffered from seizures and would have to receive medication with her food as well. I am comfortable caring for dogs of different sizes, temperaments, and needs. I understand the importance of maintaining consistent routines and ensuring pets feel safe and cared for. I’m currently working a full time job, however I don’t start work until 2:45pm everyday (off days are Fridays and Saturdays). When I work Sunday-Thursday I’m available to drop in at least one early morning, I can do another drop in in the early afternoon, and another drop in when I get off if needed (I get off at 11pm). On my days off - Friday and Saturdays - I can do numerous drop ins throughout the day. Anytime between early morning to late night. I have two cats of my own. Both are tabby cats, but they have very different personalities. Bean, who is an orange long haired cat, is very skittish, loves to play, enjoys pets but hates being picked up. While Franklin, is a grey short hair, loves cuddles, being next to his people, and would rather play with Bean than his humans. We got Franklin when he was 8 weeks old from my boyfriend’s brother and we fostered then adopted Bean when he was 12 weeks old (about 6 months after getting Franklin). We discovered Franklin loves going outside, so we bought him a cat harness and leash and frequently take him on walks (: Bean is too skittish for this, but he loves to play inside with toy mice and springs (ESPECIALLY springs, those are his favorite 😅)

About: I used to pet sit for neighbors growing up so I've been watching pets as long as I can remember. I am a huge dog & cat lover and have lots of extra love to give. I have 1 dog Scooby who keeps me sane in between working my full time job at a 911 center. I have a rotating schedule so it changes week to week unfortunately. After January i'll be more consistent being available during the evening, but for right now I'm working a mid shift so days off rotate or am only available in the morning. I treat pets and their homes with respect. I know that's how I want my dog cared for so make sure I treat others the same.

“David and Amy have been walking Angel four the past several weeks. I've found them to be reliable, enthusiastic, and caring dog walkers, and feel confident that my dog Angel will be safe in their care while I'm at work. They leave detailed Rover cards following each visit that outline the walk taken, as well as a summary of Angel's activities. They also provide fabulous photos taken during each walk - several of which I plan to have framed!”

“Our sweet girl loved having Logan come and walk her every day while we were out of town. Even though my older kids were home, it gave me peace of mind having Logan check in on our sweet girl. The extra attention was greatly appreciated. The updates were helpful. I highly recommend hiring Logan.”
