Dog Walking In Far South Columbus, Ohio

About: I previously owned a dog walking and pet-sitting business for over four years, and I absolutely loved it! I walked dogs that ranged from 1-16 years of age, and administered oral medication and provided insulin to diabetic dogs. I have also fostered dogs four separate times, ages ranging from 1-6 years. I have 4 years of exotic animal care experience as well! I work from home full time on a very flexible schedule. I can move my daily plans around to fit your needs, and will update my availability to include changes ASAP. There is one other dog and two friendly cats in the home. My partner is experienced in animal husbandry and loves pets just as much as me. We are sure to give them plenty of love, patience, and attention! I can take furry friends on extra walks if requested, and I can send you pictures throughout your pets' stay!

“This was my first experience with Rover.com and I couldn’t have been happier! The booking process was easy and quick. I received many fast responses to my request for 2 visits with walks and feeding. I am THRILLED that we were able to “book” with Victoria! She exceeded our expectations and posted her communication with us so quickly, relieving all my worries. Thank you Victoria! I look forward to “booking” services with you again. ❤️”

“Michelle was excellent! She walked my two dogs twice in one day and even helped me deal with an unexpected visit from a service technician while she was at my home. She was very responsive and kept me updated on the pups. I highly recommend Michelle and will be booking again!”

About: As an independent contractor, I make my own schedule. This allows me to operate on a very flexible calendar. In addition to being the go-to care taker for the pets in my circle, I also have a lifestyle that allows for me to go the extra mile and hangout longer, play more, and go for longer walks! I currently make my own schedule. So pet care fits in tremendously. I work as a freelance film and commercial laborer. Being in charge of my calendar allows me to schedule accordingly to take care of your pet! Having two cats of my own, while I can't house animals at my own residence, I am very familiar with the needs of pets. Playtime, treats, head scratches, and the like. I love every animal deeply and with a great respect. I treat every space with the utmost dignity and try to keep as small of a footprint as possible when entering someone's home. I have been house sitting, dog/cat watching for many years now. I look forward to ensuring you have an enjoyable, trustworthy experience when working with me.

“Vanessa is such an incredible support. She thinks quick and stays in control. We have a reactive dog and she always provides a safe and supportive environment.”

“Kayla did fantastic with the boys. They loved their time and walks with her. They both can be anxious boys, so I get a little nervous when new walkers walk them, but Kayla put my mind at ease and took such good care of the boys.”

About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life and they seem to trust me easily. Basic feeding and walking for dog and cats too if needed. I'm currently looking to make pet sitting my full time emplyoment, I hope to make many animals and pet parents happy with my service. For dogs I would change the food and water when arriving and take dogs for a walk or outside to use the bathroom. Cats I would change food and water while also cleaning the litter box after use.

“Allie was amazing, I told her my needs and she absolutely a treat for my dog Gogo on her walks. Very much sold me in becoming a regular client of hers now! Thank you Allie!”

“Nicole is a GEM! We feel so lucky to have found her! My wife and I needed someone to let out our two dogs for a potty break and walk our 6 month old Pittie Mix, Theo, at lunch time while we were at work. Right when I met Nicole, I could tell she was warm, kind, genuine, and would take great care of our pups. It can be difficult to find reliable and dependable people, but we could always count on Nicole. She showed up within the timeframe that we asked and kept us updated on how the walks went! I HIGHLY recommend using Nicole!”

About: Caring for animals has always been a passion of mine. Friends, neighbors, and loved ones have all sought my care for many years for both their dogs and cats. Being a teacher, I love to help care for your pets when I can! I have very open availability for walks, daily care, and overnight care. I work as an elementary school teacher during the majority of the year, but I love to help care for your pets when I can! Each pet and each household is different, so catering to the needs of each pet is a priority. Following diet instructions, making sure pets get proper play and exercise time, and lots and lots of love are all priorities of mine.

About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, birds, hamsters even pet chickens. I love animals, I have two cats myself named Midnight and Luna. I started off by taking care of my grandmothers cats and friends dogs to now where it has became part of my life lol literally…it’s a part time to past time job. I take care of these babies the way I would like someone to care for my babies. All love.❤️ I am currently working full time but have a flexible schedule. I’m free to board or home visit on Saturday, Sunday, Monday (All Day) and Friday's after 5pm. Weekdays after 5pm I have availability to dog walk but not house sit. I house small/medium dogs/pets. I go to clients homes if I’m caring for larger dogs. *I can also provide doggy waste bags, if it is convenient.

About: I have had dogs since the day I was born. I currently have a 13, 3, and 2 year old dogs. I have experience with medication management and administration. As well as dogs with serious medical issues. I am capable of taking care of dogs of all ages. I am currently in college a couple days a week during the summer and I currently am working a flexible job. Both allow for a lot of downtime. As of right now I only have 1-2 days during the week which are unavailable but other than that I have a lot of free time! I have experience with dogs who have destructive behavior so if your dog needs kenneld or close supervision I am capable. I am someone who pays close attention to my own dogs and when I watch other dogs I try to treat them as my own!

“Donald was incredible!! I’d recommend him to anyone and everyone! He was helpful and accommodating. I appreciated the photos he posted after each walk which helped ease my anxiety of keeping my new dog at home alone while at work.”

“Our dog Ruby loved her! A well trained professional. Prompt response times. Friendly and kind. I felt as ease knowing Jovonna would take great care of Ruby while my wife and I were at work”

About: Being a senior makes me old school, like being exactly on time or a bit early. I subscribe to the Dog Whisperer tenet of being ALPHA and pack leader to dogs in my care. A dog in a pack is a happy dog. I only use positive reinforcement. Ex.: dog pulling on the leash can be fixed by changing directions every 4 steps to the left, walking in a square, this encourages the dog to slow down and watch his human. Dog hair is a welcome addition to a life well lived, that's why my dogs get furniture and bed privileges. One fact about my dogs i pay attention to is how many sips of water they take. On a very hot day I've seen 30-40. This helps me know easily how my pet is feeling so I can react accordingly. Maybe time to put the soft Frisbee away! I'm fully retired, and rise early, so morning walks are easy. Breakfast is next, and 1hr later another walk outside. I like to prep a bag to take to the park. My fav is Schiller Park in German Village. I don't own a pet currently, I've had some health issues that are now resolved. Having been an owner twice in my life has given me many many experiences so I am flexible.
