Dog Walkers in Essex, OH

“Marilyn is great with my pup! Evie is always excited to see her. She’s dependable, reliable, and communicates great. She always leaves a report and lets me know how Evie is and if anything out of the ordinary has happened. Would highly recommend her services.”

“Brittany was very patient with my crazy lab. She's clearly well loved by animals. My lab ran to her and jumped up on her but she was calm and understanding. She waited until he calmed down and only then walked him.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats my whole life, and I currently have 2 dogs (only one indoor - a maltipoo). I have volunteered many hours at the Humane Society and support AARF locally. I adore dogs & cats of all sizes, and would love to give your fur baby care when you’re away! I have special experience with senior dogs (care, medicine schedules & administration of meds), and dogs with special needs (blind, deaf, etc). I work remotely so I have an incredibly flexible and open schedule. I can come at anytime needed for your pet and take in smaller dogs for in home boarding. I’m also sensitive to senior dog needs as I had a 16 year old Morkie who needed to eat 4x a day and be given specific meds all day on a strict schedule. I understand how critical it is for Pets on schedules to maintain that, and I am able to make any schedule work! I treat all my clients pets as if they were my own. The most important aspect is reading the pet owners notes on any special needs for their pet, and making sure I approach each pet on their terms. I’m here to greet them with a smile and make their day better while you’re away!

“I felt very lucky to connect with Megan. I needed someone to let Duke out after some last minute changes to my travel plans. She was easy to communicate with and worked with my changing schedule to make sure my dog was cared for. She updated me with pictures and I could see he was comfortable and loving his walk. I would highly recommend her for any Rover needs!”

About: I've taken care of dogs ever since I can remember. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets I’m available all week to take care of furry Doggy, I will take them out for walks, parks, get them to run, play with ball I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company, feel safe. I can easily crate your dog if needed.

About: I've trained my own dogs since age 7, mostly basic obedience. Not much experience in senior dogs or high drive but I learn quick. I know how to stop a dog fight and read body language as well as look for threats. I would love to walk your animals when you can't or don't want to. I need to get out more and my dogs are happier at home. I can schedule hikes as well if you would like to set that up. I can walk your dog on whatever path you chose. I can drop in and check on them for potty breaks, or any cat care as well.

About: I have had dogs my entire life. I understand their needs and their curiosities about people. I have trained my own dogs a series of obedience commands and playful commands that allow them to enjoy their life to the fullest. My daily routine has always been to give my pet the attention and love they deserve. They always get their needs taken care of before I start my own routines. I am in constant communication with pets, talking to them and allowing them to know they are safe. As a pet owner, their needs come first. They always rely on me to be their provider and protector.

“Amazing experience! My first time having a dog walker and she made me feel so confident and comfortable each day knowing someone was taking such good care of my pup!”

About: I worked as a dog bather for 3+ years at a grooming salon and have been a dedicated shelter volunteer at a local rescue. Therefore, I have experience with many different breeds! I also regularly foster shelter dogs where I bring them into my home and continue to work towards finding the dog their forever home! Aside from being an animal lover my entire life from having my own animals, I went on to graduate with a degree in Biology to continue a career in animal care. Since consistently volunteering at a local rescue, my love for animal care has continued to grow! I have a flexible schedule to be able to provide the best care for your animals! I will be happy to crate your animal in between visits, if needed, along with provide your animals with any accommodations you feel they need while you are away (play time, treats, etc)!

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life. I have a cat whom I rescued several years ago. I’ve cared for several dogs and I’m great at keeping animals comfortable and feeling loved!

I am sure to follow the rules of each owner since they know what’s best. I am a huge cuddler, so if your dog or cat needs some extra love, you can count on me.

About: Hi! My name is Hadyn (23yo) and I can’t wait to meet your furry family! After being a loyal pet sitter to very few for the better half of a decade, I’m looking to expand my clientele! I am currently available for house sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking. I have always been surrounded by animals, and found them to be great company! These days my furry family includes 3 cats and 3 ferrets, along with my parents’ 3 dogs, cat, and snake (scaley fam). Due to this and my own personal passion, I have a wide variety of experience with dogs, cats, and small animals. I’ve worked with many different types of dogs and cats including seniors and those with special needs. I appreciate any specific and thorough instructions for how I can best support your pet. I also have experience administering oral medication. For the consideration of larger dogs, I must say I can only lift up to 50lbs. I strive for a holistic approach to an animal’s individual wellness emphasizing play (exercise & enrichment activities), a stress-free & loving environment, and nutrition. Though I am not a vet, I can offer advice based on my own knowledge and experiences working with pets in a personal and professional setting. For overnight stays in your home, upon request I can water plants, bring in mail, & take out the trash. I will be easily reachable by text or call, whichever you prefer, and will happily provide picture updates! Thank you for reading and I hope to hear from you! :) I have pretty open availability! If I take an overnight visit, I will routinely check in on my own animals 2-3 times per day depending. 30 min visits at a time is all I need! I live in Catlettsburg, so wherever you are in the Tri-State shouldn’t be far! I offer dog walking, drop-ins and house sitting! This is for the comfort of my own cats. You can breathe easy knowing that I will do all I can to ensure a fun filled, comfortable, and safe experience for your pet. They will get a balance of playtime and love, all while following the feeding routines you’ve set for them! Additional instruction is encouraged to make sure they get everything they need & for any ground rules set in the home.

About: With 10 years of my own personal experiences having cats of my own I’ve dealt with a variety of personalities as well as cats with FIV. This experience has made me a more intuitive, attentive, and compassionate cat sitter. I understand that every cat whether shy, senior, on medication, or just a little quirky deserves individualized care, patience, and love. I’m here to care for your cat like they’re my own. I currently work full time with full availability for your fur babies on the weekends! I am able to stop in for drop in visits/ or walks before and after work during the week. I will care for your dog/cat just like they are my own. I Would like to stick to your routines to help your fur baby(s) feel more comfortable. Any questions don’t hesitate to ask!

About: I’ve grown up around animals my whole life—my family has always had dogs and cats, and we recently added chickens to the mix! I started dog sitting in high school and have continued caring for pets during my summers in college. In addition to caring for my own animals, I volunteer at the local dog shelter, foster cats, and stay active in various veterinary clinics. These experiences have made me confident handling animals of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I’m also comfortable administering both oral and injectable medications and would be more than happy to care for pets with special needs! I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to prioritize pet sitting, drop-in visits, or extended stays as needed. I’m more than happy to accommodate your schedule and work with your pet’s specific routine or care plan. Whether it’s administering medications, sticking to a particular feeding schedule, or giving extra time and patience to a shy or senior pet, I want to make the experience smooth and stress-free for both you and your pet. While housesitting, I will respect your space and follow your instructions closely to keep things familiar and comforting for your pet. I will make sure they have plenty of attention, exercise, and enrichment, and I keep you updated with regular check-ins and photos. Your pet’s well-being means everything to me, and I treat each one like they’re my own!

About: Woof(Hey) fellow dog parents! My name is Brooke. I worked full time as a veterinary assistant for 3 years and I previously worked for 3 years at a dog grooming, boarding, and daycare facility. I love all types of dogs, big and small! I actually own two giant breeds of dogs, but they currently reside at home with my parents. What can I say? I like the fluff. I also am a secret cat person as well, don’t tell the dogs. I understand how busy life can get for you guys, trust me, I have been there myself. I am trustworthy, compassionate, and hardworking. Please feel free to contact me anytime! I promise to give your pet the same love and affection as my own.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life—cats and dogs of all sizes and personalities. From playful Yorkies to gentle giants like Saint Bernards, I’ve loved and cared for them all. Whether your pet needs active playtime, like my GoldenDoodle or just some couch cuddles and company, like my Golden Retriever, I’ve got it covered. I’m confident, patient, and attentive to each animal’s unique needs and quirks. You can relax knowing your pet is in loving, experienced hands. I’m currently enrolled in college courses, having class Monday and Wednesday for a few short hours. I’m free most days/overnight, unless I have prior obligations and that’ll be updated in my calander weekly. I have a fenced in yard and 2 doggies who are the perfect mixture of playful/cuddle bugs. My dogs do not stay in a crate but if that’s what your pup is most comfortable with, then we can absolutely do that! I have someone to watch my dogs if I am staying in your home. So I would not bring them with me, unless your furry friend wants a buddy to play with.

About: I would love to meet your pups and make sure they have a wonderful experience. My dog is my life, and I will treat your furry baby’s the same way! I love all dogs of all shapes and sizes and enjoy taking them to the park and even for walks or giving them all the belly rubs that they could ask for. I have a large fully fenced back yard with tones of space to run and play. I will make sure to make them feel comfortable and safe. I look forward to meeting your furry babies!

About: I love taking care of animals. I have 3 dogs and a cat myself and they bring me tons of joy. I watch animals on another site and I am very familiar with different breeds of dogs and cats. I administer meds for dogs and cats if needed. I will treat your animal with love and care. I currently work a full time job. My schedule starts middle of the night so I typically get off around lunch time. I am available all day and evening and half of the night. I have very friendly dogs that will welcome yours. I will also crate your dog if needed or I can keep them just in a room by themselves. I am currently working on getting a fenced in yard so in the mean time I will walk your dogs whenever it is needed.

About: I’ve taken care of all of kinds of animals from the age of 13 until present time of the age of 28. I help my friend at her boarding business. I have fostered and rescued many animals. I provide all the love and attention any animal deserves. I have a 6 year old chocolate lab who loves animals of any kind, and a 3 legged cat who’s super playful with other animals as well. As of right now I am not employed so I have endless hours to provide, care for, love on, and play with your fur baby/babies. I have a large unfenced yard at the side of my apartment where I take my dog to potty and play. I also have a friend who owns a dog boarding business with a fenced in yard where I take my dog to socialize and play with other pups as well. My dog free runs at home but if your baby is crate trained I can easily crate them to their needs/routine.
