Dog Walking Grove City

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.

“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.”

“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.”

“Tory was great with Harper. Being such a young puppy walks were difficult at first but she gave Harper all the attention needed and was patient as she worked on her walking skills. Will definitely use again in the future!”

About: I’ve worked at a vet clinic in my hometown for the past 5 years so I have lots of animal handling and care giving experience! I’m a recent college graduate and will be attending The Ohio State University College of Veterinary Medicine this fall! As a college student athlete, my weekly schedule is very busy so I am more available on the weekends and early mornings before class. I do not currently have pets at school, but I do love when I get to visit my two dogs back at home occasionally! I have two dogs of my own so I’m used to feeding them, taking them on walks, taking care of them, and of course giving them lots of love!

“California is wonderful with Minnie—responsible, communicative, and always patient. It’s the second time she walks Minnie, and Minnie absolutely loves her time with her! Highly recommend.”

About: I took care of my sister's dog for most of last summer and fall. I have developed strong dog-walking skills from this experience as she is quite the timid and confrontational dog. I have learned out to be extremely vigilant when walking a dog and I can read a dog's behavior as well as a human's at this point. My time management skills are par for the course and I have plenty of free time. I have plenty of free time – I have plenty of free time... there.. enough words. I have a fenced yard and beautful quiet neighborhood to walk your dog in. I can also learn the layout of any home and method for taking care of any dog by the standards of any owner within any home.

“Taylor has been very helpful. She has come and walked our very energetic dog on a weekly basis and I have had 0 difficulties getting ahold of her or getting feedback about how everything went. She is very sweet and a great choice for your pet!”

“After 2 walks with Mallory, I'm pleased. Jimmy knew what she was here for the second walk. He's tired after, which is what I wanted. I added a pic of him sleeping tonight (1 1/2hrs) after his walk. His eyes are rolled back in his head, and snoring. Mallory is very kind and obviously loves animals. I'm so grateful to have found a great match. Excited to see Jimmy be more active.”

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats for family and friends, helping with feeding, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and lots of attention. I’m patient, dependable, and comfortable following each pet’s normal routine and any special instructions. I understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy caring for your pet, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages while they’re with me. I currently work part-time, so my availability varies throughout the week, but I’m happy to coordinate care around my schedule. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting on select mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I’ll always confirm availability before booking and make sure I have enough time to give your pet attentive, unrushed care. I will follow your pet’s normal routine and all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and household rules. I’ll keep doors and gates secure, supervise pets carefully, and make sure they are comfortable and safe. I’ll also send regular photo and message updates so you can feel reassured while you’re away.

“Allison was a fantastic dog walker. My dog loved her. Always on time. Highly recommended.”

About: I have several neighbors that I’ve dog sat for before. I’m experienced in giving medication to senior dogs, along with providing walks and feedings plus giving them all the love they deserve. I look forward to taking care of your fur babies. I’m currently in school three days a week. While that does limit my time spent with your pups, I am still able to provide basic check ins/walks/potty breaks. I am fully available for more in depth care during the weekends. I will always make sure your pup is comfortable with me and safe. I will be sure to always keep them on leash for walks, make sure they are played with and loved, and follow whatever food routine they need.

“Nicole is the absolute best! She’s punctual, caring, honest, and trustworthy. We really appreciate having Nicole take care of our pets needs when we are not able to. I would recommend Nicole to anyone that has a need for a Dog walker, or a pet sitter.”

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.

“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: I’ve spent my entire life surrounded by dogs — I grew up with four, and I currently have one of my own. Being around dogs has always been second nature to me, and caring for them isn’t just something I do — it’s something I truly love. From daily walks to belly rubs and everything in between, I know how important it is to give pets the love, attention, and care they deserve, especially when you’re away. Whether your pup needs playtime, cuddles, or just a calm and reassuring presence, I’m here to treat them like family I work full time but my partner will always be home! I have flexible hours and can always communicate with you on what works best with your schedule. I have Sundays and Mondays off! I can follow any instructions needed for your furry one and will care for them any way needed while you are away to make sure they are well attended to!

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!

About: I’ve taken care of all sorts of animals since I could remember. Been around Great Danes to yorkies and love them all. I also have a cat and dog of my own both I’ve rescue and adore. I’ve also trained my dog, I’ve had her going on 3 years now. I train with positive attitude and treats. I was relied on by family and friends to watch, walk and feed their pets. Occasionally would do some basic training to help keep up and of course cuddles. I currently work full time but it’s from 7-2pm about 4 days a week. I will have time after work and on my off days to spend the rest of the day caring for pets. My pets are friendly with other animals, my dog gets excited when she gets to meet new friends and then goes about her business. I also have a crate for my dog if anything. I try to give the visiting pup a chance to sniff around first and get warmed up before I let my dog meet her. Allows both dogs to calm down and be relax by then.
