Dog Walking Galloway

“Lacey was great with Varney, taking him out as far as he needed to go to do his business. She also let him sniff and chew sticks which is part of his routine.”

“First time using a dog walker, and I’m so glad I did. Sam was great and responsive to a last minute request. My dog came back worn out and will likely nap for awhile. Thanks Sam!!!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and ages over the past 45 years from my poodle mix, Brutus, to my most beloved black lab, Gracie Ann. Currently, my Siberian cat, Jimmy, seems to be raising me! I spend time loving my grand-dogs and grand-cat as well. I was trained as a Capital Area Humane Society dog walker. I do find a special place in my heart for the senior pet. I am recently retired, so my schedule is flexible. I do volunteer work, dabble in some hobbies but there is still plenty of time available to take a walk or drop in and make sure your pet is safe. Even an overnight is possible. Due to apartment living, I would need to take care of pets in your home. I am available during the week and some weekends. I’m both an early riser and end the night after the evening news. All of my pets have been considered part of my family and they get the best of my love, including good food, vet care and are usually “spoiled rotten”. BUT, I am respectful of owners’ living space and requests. I am very organized and will provide safe and loving care. My prices are flexible as we all are on a budget yet we want the best care for our 4 legged family members. I promise to care for your children just like my own.

“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: With 13 years of dedicated ownership and care for a German Shepherd, coupled with specialized expertise in senior dog care, I offer a unique blend of experience, compassion, and understanding that sets me apart as a dog sitter. Your furry companions are not just pets to me; they are cherished family members deserving of the utmost love, attention, and tailored care. Unfortunately, my dog died over a year ago, so helping others with their pets has helped me tremendously with the grieving process. Incorporating pet care seamlessly into my daily routine, I strike a balance between my part-time work commitments and online coursework towards becoming an English teacher. Despite a busy schedule, I ensure my furry companions receive ample attention and care. With structured walks, playtime, and cuddles interspersed throughout the day, I create moments of joy and companionship for them. Teaching English classes two nights a week adds rhythm to my schedule, allowing me to dedicate quality time to both my professional pursuits and the well-being of my beloved pets. I live alone in my apartment, where I provide attentive care to dogs. In a pet-friendly complex equipped with ample walking paths and grassy areas, I ensure that each dog's needs are met with regular walks, playtime, and affection. With no roommates or other pets, I prioritize creating a safe and nurturing environment where dogs can thrive and feel at home.

About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and understand that pets are family. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I’m patient, dependable, attentive to routines, and skilled at recognizing behavioral changes and individual needs. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to care for their dogs by feeding them, taking them on walks, providing companionship, administering basic medications when instructed, and making sure they feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I have experience providing both in-home pet sitting and boarding dogs in my own home. Before transitioning into the corporate world, I partnered with a friend who owned a successful dog-sitting business, where I cared for pets for approximately six years. During that time, I gained experience working with dogs of different breeds, sizes, personalities, and care needs. I’m now excited to return to pet care because it’s something I truly enjoy. I enjoy spending quality time with pets of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and care. Whether your pet needs exercise, playtime, cuddles, or simply someone reliable to keep them company, I’ll treat them with the same love and attention I give my own animals. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your furry family member is in caring and trustworthy hands. I work a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide dependable and attentive care for your pets. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I’m happy to accommodate feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication routines, and plenty of affection. I’ll communicate with you throughout each visit by sending updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special instructions before every visit. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or taking them for a walk, I’ll provide patient, loving, and attentive care while respecting your home and your pet’s boundaries. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and committed to making sure your furry family member feels comfortable, secure, and loved every step of the way.

About: I have been working with dogs since my mid-teens, from fostering to training and just about everything in between. I have experience with dogs of all ages and sizes, as well as mobility, hearing, and visual imparments. I specialize in hyper, anxious, and reactive dogs. I also have a passion for socialization and confidence building. I am first aid and CPR certified for dogs and cats. I also have experience in oral medication administration. I currently work Monday-Friday 9pm-5am I am available in the early mornings 6-8 am and evenings 4-8 pm for drop ins and walks. I am also flexible with my availability on weekends and can accommodate most schedules. I have several years experience handling dogs and the challenges they often bring with them. I am first aid and CPR certified for dogs and cats. I always have an extra slip leash and break stick (a tool used to help safely open a dog's mouth in the event of a bite) on me in case of emergencies. I have two friendly dogs who are always looking for new friends, if your dog would benefit from the company.

About: I’ve always loved being around animals and have years of experience caring for dogs and cats for family and friends. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, bathroom breaks, playtime, and following each pet’s individual routine. I know every pet has their own personality, so I take the time to learn what makes them comfortable — whether that means lots of play and attention or giving a shy pet time to warm up to me. I’m very attentive to instructions and will treat your pet and home with the same care and respect I would want someone to give my own. I’m also happy to send plenty of pictures and updates during visits so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing! I have a flexible weekly schedule that gives me plenty of time for pet care! I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week, including evenings and weekends. I keep my Rover calendar updated regularly so my availability is always as accurate as possible. I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine whenever I can, and I’ll always communicate clearly about scheduling. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always come first. I’ll follow their normal routine and your care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any household rules. I’m careful about keeping doors, gates, and leashes secure, and I’ll always supervise your pet appropriately. I also understand how important it is to trust someone in your home. I’ll treat your space with respect, clean up after your pet, and make sure everything is left the way I found it. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention while you’re away.

About: I love dogs! I’ve always loved them. When i got my first dog at 8 I was terrified. I would scream and jump on the toilet. She wasn’t even the size of my backpack lol. As the years went on I grew not only a pet but a sister! She was there for me even when i didn’t think i needed her. I want to give your pet the same love I gave to her! Right now i have a mini golden doodle. She is a very special dog lol. She gets on my nerves but i wouldn’t trade her for anything. She’s always doing different things to keep me on my toes. I would make sure that your dog is properly cared for. Whether that is playing fetch with them or taking them for a walk. I live in an apartment that has a huge field. They will get the proper exercise for sure. I love to run with them.

About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember and have grown up caring for pets of my own as well as family members’ dogs. Over the years, I’ve gained plenty of hands on experience with feeding, walks, playtime, keeping them company, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I especially enjoy spending time with small dogs and love getting to know each dog’s unique personality. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet in someone else’s care, and I’ll treat your dog with the same patience, attention, and affection I would give my own. Pet care will be my full-time focus, so I’ll have plenty of time and flexibility to give each dog the attention and care they deserve. I’ll be available throughout the day for walks, feedings, potty breaks, bathing/cleaning, playtime, and companionship. My priority is making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’ll follow their normal routines while giving them plenty of attention and affection throughout the day. I’ll take the time to learn each dogs personality, preferences, and routines and I’ll always approach them with patience and kindness so they feel comfortable and loved while in my care. I typically only care for one dog at a time for overnight stays so I can give them my full attention and make sure they get the individualized care they need. If siblings are coming from the same family, I’m happy to care for them together. I want every pet to feel happy, relaxed, and well cared for while their owners are away. 🫶🏼

“Lily is the first dog walker I have ever had and she’s the best one I’ve ever had.My dog loves her and he doesn’t take to strangers.Now I feel like she’s a part of the family.”

About: With eight years of experience caring for pets, I bring a thoughtful, patient approach to every visit. I have a background in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), which has given me a solid foundation in reading behavior and using reinforcement to praise desirable behavior. While my professional ABA experience is with humans, I've found that it translates well with my own cat and other animals I've been responsible for. My schedule is completely open, so I can easily work around your pet's routine! Early mornings, late nights, or anytime in between - whenever they need me. While in your home, I try to stick closely to your pet's typical routine and treat your home with care, keeping it clean and tidy so it feels untouched while you're away. I'll also send regular updates to keep you connected and informed. I'm always mindful of safety throughout every visit. I watch for hazards, double-check leashes before walks, and carefully research any medications to ensure they're given correctly and on schedule.

About: I’ve been pet sitting since high school. I hesitantly used this app when I moved to Columbus, and have become a huge fan. I know how scary it can be to trust a stranger with your pet. I’d love to be your trusted partner for when you’re away! I own my own business, which I work remotely, so I am extremely flexible on timing and am available most days to care for your pets! I am adaptable to your pets care needs. I prefer to step into whatever routine you currently have, as to not disrupt your pets normal!

I work a fulltime professional position during the weekdays, which allows me to provide pet care services during evenings, weekends, and select weekdays depending on the pet's needs. I'm organized, reliable, and committed to ensuring pets receive the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. We live in a community with walking paths and a couple of ponds that we enjoy walking to with our pups. I will be happy to walk yours through the neighborhood as well.

About: Available M,T,Th,F for evenings. W,Sa,Su available all day!! Hi there, I’m Kaisee and I can’t wait to meet your fur babies. I’ve worked closely with dogs (and cats) for many years now. From dog sitting and grooming to working at an emergency vet clinic, dogs have always had a special place with me. I understand that personal lives outside of the house can be hectic and that unfortunately dogs aren’t allowed everywhere we can go, I’m here to make sure your best friend/fur child will get the attention they need when you aren’t around and I promise not to spoil them too much. I can give grooming tips if needed and know how to train for basic commands, if needed. I look forward to meeting you and your four legged best friend. :) I work early hours M,T,Th,F so I am off work every Wednesday and home by 4pm other days. I also know that work isn’t the only thing that keeps us out of the house. Can always check in before bed time so clients can enjoy a late night out. When entering a new clients residence I am sure to keep everything neat and tidy and make sure your pet is safe and healthy. Talking in a soft voice as to not scare any pets and make sure all things are secure before leaving.
