Dog Walking Gillivan

About: I can administer oral or pill medications if needed. I can provide your pet with stimulating exercise because I’m an athlete myself! I can also provide senior care to your pet. I am in charge of the pets my family has at home which includes feeding, walking, and bathing them. I currently work at a medical office in downtown Columbus during the week, Monday through Friday. I usually work from 7:30am-5pm. I am available anytime I get off of work to do drop-ins or walks. I usually don't take drop-ins for the morning due to the time that I have to be at work. For my own cat, I clean her litter box at least once day and she eats Smalls' pet food twice daily. On days when I am taking care of other's pets, my partner takes care of her in my stead. Charisma enjoys going on walks on the weekends and taking naps in my lap. For others pets, I will do my best to keep them as comfortable as possible and to keep the same schedule that you have set for them. If sleeping with them is allowed, that is also something I will do as long as they are comfortable. I will make sure that any mess your pet makes while you’re away will be cleaned up. I can bathe your pet if you want and can be there to keep them company if you wish. Keeping your pet comfortable is my priority!

About: I have had puppies and dogs in my life for the last 32 years. My life would not be complete without them. Currently I have a treeing walker coon hound who is full of energy. My lab just recently passed away. She was almost 13 years old. Being able to help people out by making sure their dogs or cats are loved and exercised would be so rewarding for me. I’m a nurse who works part time two days a week. I’m looking forward to filling the rest of my week with pet care appointments. I will respect your home and privacy and be sure and agree upon set instructions before entering and leaving. I will effectively communicate prior to and after each visit.

About: I’ve taken care of pets for family friends and colleagues since high school. I love to go on long walks, runs and play around in parks or backyards. I’m currently work in before and after school care so I am free 9:30am-3 pm on weekdays but I am happy to do check up’s early in the morning and late in the evenings. On Saturday’s I’m free all day except for 8-2 and Sundays I am free all day. In clients homes I will care for your pets in anyway they need whether that is cuddling inside all day or playing in the backyard. On walks I will ensure the safety of your pet by double checking the leash/harness and catering the walk to their liking.

About: I am a Registered Veterinary Technician and long time dog sitter for family and friends. I love meeting new pets and giving them lots of scratches! I’m a Veterinary Technician and I work at a pretty flexible job where I work 4 days a week and get two hour lunch breaks. Having the extra time over lunch allows me to check on pets mid day and do walks/meds/lunch feedings etc. I usually do care in clients homes rather than my own. However, watching pets in my home can be worked as long as they get along with other dogs and cats. I have two very dog friendly dogs and a couple very happy and cuddly cats!

About: I’ve raised dogs of all sizes throughout. I have 4 grand dogs that I help take care of from time to time. I’m experienced and dogs/cats are typically at ease around me. Can’t wait to meet your pet! I am newly retired and have a lot of Flex Time at the moment. I enjoy working with animals and have reliable transportation. Thank you! I will work with you to determine what is best suited for your pet. My practices typically including, feeding, cleaning kitty litter, medicine giving, letting out in yard or on leash to potty, etc. Also available for walking.

“Thanks for your help this summer!🐾♥️🐾”

About: In addition to caring for my own dogs, I've fostered over 40 dogs including puppies, senior dogs, dogs recovering from surgery, and dogs requiring special behavioral and/or medical assistance. I've recently been approved as a puppy raiser for Canine Companions. I am retired and available during the work day. I know what it's like to worry about your dog getting the exercise and attention they need, my flexibility can work for you. I will have your dog on-leash for any walks or outside time at my home. As the pawrent, I want to follow any directions or suggestions that you have for making your dog comfortable and happy.

About: I've been around various dog breed since as a child. From as small as a chihuahua and dachshund to the size of german shepards and Rottweiler. My biggest thing with animals im general is just understanding their personalities and setting them up for success. Always easier than done but thats the challenge and its always rewarding for you and the animal with building long term friendship and goals! I think the challenging experience I've had with a close friend of mine who i see once a year dog sitting his 2 Belgium malnois, senior german shepherd and Rottweiler shepard mix. It was difficult as i had not met the 2 Belgium malnois in person but after being acquainted and exercising them it was a match made in heaven! My close friend hardly let anyone watch his dogs except his wife due to how the dogs are very particular with who they interact with. Other than that I'm excited to meet some fur babies could turn to potential friends with my baby boy! At this current time I work remotely for my full time job 8 to 5. I am very flexible on the weekends. During the day incase I am close enough to let your animal out to use the restroom and let them stretch their legs. I understand how important it is especially being away from home atleast 7hrs is hard for a dog. When it comes to safety I always make sure the dogs does not have access to areas that can cause them harm or they can get into. I've met some sneaky dogs over the years where you have to make sure the trash in a locked closet etc. Always thinking how to keep the dog safe as I would hope someone would do the same for my boy! In regard to trust just have to be patient with the fur baby and take things slow. As humans we dont trust strangers so your pet for sure wouldnt right away. Before agreeing to any service I would always would love to meet the animal atleast twice before fully going through the process to make sure everyone feels safe and secure.
