Dog Walking Hamlet

“Dave is fabulous! He's a personable guy, who was wonderful to my dog. And, he showed up on time, every time, regardless of the weather. I am very pleased that Rover.com connected us and I truly appreciated Dave's help in my time of need. I would most definitely engage Dave's services again and I would highly recommend him to others needing help with their companion animals.”

About: I’m a dependable, caring pet lover who treats every dog like family. I understand that every dog has their own personality, energy level, routine, and comfort level, and I take the time to build trust and make each walk a positive experience. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of different sizes, ages, and temperaments, including energetic dogs who need plenty of exercise, as well as senior dogs who may prefer a slower, more relaxed pace. I’m attentive to body language and behavior and prioritize your pet’s safety and comfort at all times. Whether your dog needs an active walk, some extra exercise and playtime, or simply companionship while you’re away, I’ll provide dependable care and plenty of attention. I’m also happy to follow your instructions closely regarding feeding, medications, routines, leash preferences, and other special needs. My goal is for you to feel completely comfortable knowing your dog is in caring, responsible hands while you’re away. I'm currently in a remote position making my scheduling flexible, thus my schedule is open all 7 days throughout the week. I look forward to hearing what you need! Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for your pet. I treat every dog with patience, kindness, and respect while making sure they feel comfortable and secure in their environment. For walks, I use safe leash-handling practices and stay attentive to my surroundings, other animals, traffic, and anything that could make a pet uncomfortable or unsafe. I never rush a dog and adjust the pace and length of the walk based on their age, energy level, and individual needs. When caring for pets in their home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable while you're away. I’m respectful of your home, keep doors and gates securely closed, and make sure your pet has access to fresh water and anything else you’ve provided for their care. I’ll keep you updated throughout the visit and communicate promptly if I notice anything unusual with your pet. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and being cared for as if they were my own.

About: I am a huge animal lover! I have 10+ years of paid experience pet-sitting, house-sitting, and babysitting! I have been a regular sitter for all types of breeds, ages, and behaviors. I have regular experience with pit bulls, chihuahuas, Great Pyrenees, Great Danes, puppies & seniors! I have recently moved to Cincinnati and looking to build a new client base! I love walks, play time, & cuddles! I have experience in light training, medication, and socialization skills. During drop-ins, walks, or overnight stays, I will gladly help with any additional training needed. I always provide updates and photos, and can ensure you will receive prompt and detailed responses. I am currently working part-time, and my schedule is very open and flexible. With being new to Cincinnati, my goal is to find regular clients in need of a dog-sitter & walker, as well as helping out those who are needing a one-time or occasional helper. I have lots of reliable & trusted references that show my level of honesty, respect of privacy, and cleanliness for client home sitting. I am punctual, detail-oriented, and ready to work with the routine you and your pet have.

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life! I have 13 years of 4-H experience, which has helped me build a strong understanding of animal care, responsibility, and handling animals with patience and love. I’ve also pet sat for others and enjoy making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. In addition to cats and dogs, I’m available for farm sitting and caring for a variety of animals. I treat every animal as if they were my own and want you to have peace of mind knowing your animals are in loving, dependable hands! I am currently an online college freshman, I occasionally work for my mom at her flower shop, but I am available almost all the time to help care for your pet needs! I do not offer boarding, or sitting in my own home. I offer sitting in your home, this includes overnights or just simple drop-ins. I also offer dog walking, or farm sitting!

About: I have handled dogs for the entirety of my life, all sizes from small to large, and with a fenced yard, they will have space!! I will be at home all the time, and will be able to give 100% attention to your animal while they are in my care. I have a fenced yard and two fur babies to keep your dog company. I can crate your animal if needed, but have space for your animal to explore

About: I’ve had cats and dogs my whole life and worked as a dog walker throughout college for four years. I’ve fostered nine cats, three of whom I loved so much they became permanent members of my family. These days I share my home with three cats and my shihpoo, Peanut, so I understand pets from every angle — but I care for clients in their own home, whether it’s daily walks, drop-in visits, or house-sitting. Your pet stays comfortable in their own space while getting attentive, experienced care. I structure my days around my pets, so caring for yours fits naturally into my routine. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and boarding, and I keep a flexible schedule that lets me give your pet real attention rather than a rushed visit. Weekday mornings and evenings are usually open, along with some weekends. Since I care for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal as possible — sticking to their regular feeding, walk, and sleep schedule so there’s minimal disruption. My experience with three cats, a shihpoo, and nine foster cats means I’m comfortable reading animal body language, handling multi-pet households, and following specific instructions for feeding, medication, or behavioral needs.

About: *Note about rates and dates* I'm happy to discuss/negotiate amicably agreed upon $$rates but please understand, Rover takes 20% and I pet sit full time so this is my main source of income. Additionally, my sister is on Rover. Her name is Brett. If I'm unavailable, I highly recommend reaching out to her! She has 5 years experience pet sitting. Her link https://www.rover.com/sit/brettg06694 (scroll down for bio). I'm your pet's new best friend! 7 years experience taking care of multiple pets. Administered medications and special feedings. I've watched furry, fluffy and feathery pets from dogs and cats to chickens, bunnies and even a rat! I pet sit full time so I'm at your place most of the day. Likely, I'll leave to workout, run errands, see friends but I will let you know if there's a particularly busy day and we'll discuss so you feel comfortable knowing your pet(s) is still being taken care of. Plenty of time to stay at your place overnight, teach fitness or clean a house then come back for quality time with your fur family. I DO NOT PROVIDE HOUSING AT MY HOME. I will gladly come to your residence and even stay overnight for your pets to alleviate any anxiety and make you and your family feel safe and at ease. References upon request. My business operates mainly by word of mouth. As of May 2021, I've worked full time as a pet sitter. To put it in perspective, I'm house/pet sitting 300/365 days of the year. Please check availability as my pet sitting schedule fills up quickly.

“Thanks Nina! Always reliable and amazing to our dog and cats. ❣️”

About: I’ve been a full-time professional nanny, pet care provider, personal assistant, and house manager for 29 years. Since 1998 I have been assisting families in taking care of their homes, pets and children. I've performed various housekeeping and house management responsibilities. I will provide excellent care if you select me as your care provider! I'm clean, organized, reliable, love animals and can provide several references in regards to the care I provide. As you can see in my photos: I love animals! Farm animals too! Riding horses, petting goats, you name it. I’ve even done goat yoga. Lol From the time I could walk I was petting kittens and chasing after dogs. Most weekends I’m available to provide pet care and throughout the week I work part-time mostly in the afternoons, though I can flex my schedule when I want to. Currently and over the past five years I’ve worked for a family providing weekday care for their two cats. I’m currently looking to add a few additional families for ongoing care and lunch time drop-ins. Also I will continue to offer short-term, occasional care. I can provide daily visits, walks, transport to vet appointments, and overnight care in the clients home.

“She is very nice and treated my dogs well.”

Inside the house they have plenty of space to roam, play and relax. They get walks and see their favorite vet when needed.

About: Hello! I am a reliable and responsible animal lover with 18 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and homes for family, friends, and co-workers.

About: Hi there! I’m Steven - lifelong dog lover, experienced sitter and a pet parent of two sweet pups: a Bernese and a Chihuahua. I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone new, and my goal is to make every pup feel right at home and every owner complete at ease. With years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities, I have handled everything from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing extra attention. I’m patient and love learning each dog’s quirk and routines. I work from home most days, which means your dog will get plenty of attention throughout the day. On the days I am in the office (usually Tuesday and Wednesday) I can adjust my schedule as needed to fit your pet’s routine. I live in a safe, pet friendly community in Colerain with plenty of green spaces for walks. I also love taking dogs to parks for a change of scenery or staying cozy indoors for extra belly rubs! Safety always come first. All outdoor time is fully supervised and your pup will never be off leash unless in a safely enclosed area. I truly treat every dog as my own and want to make your time away stress free. Can’t wait to meet you and your furry best friend! My day pretty much revolves around dogs — and I wouldn’t have it any other way! Since I work from home most of the week, I’m able to keep a flexible schedule full of walks, playtime, and cuddles. My own pups keep me active and in a great routine, so adding another furry friend into the mix feels natural. Even on my in-office days, I make sure every dog gets the attention and consistency they’re used to. I care for every dog as if they were my own. At my home, pups are part of the family — they can lounge, play, and get lots of attention throughout the day. I make sure everyone feels comfortable and safe, and I always supervise outdoor time. When I’m watching pets in their own home, I do my best to keep everything just how they like it. I stick to their regular routine, give them lots of love, and keep you in the loop with updates and pictures so you never have to wonder how they’re doing.

About: I’ve taken care of many animals on my family farm and I love them all! I have experience with dogs, cats, chickens, pigs, bunnies, ducks, and horses! I have a short school and work schedule so I have plenty of time to play with and take care of your pets! Available many hours and days. I have fenced in areas and leashes outside to keep pet safe and secure. I also have barns and crates if needed for your pet.

About: Hi there! I am a Cincinnati realtor that works from home, runs an Airbnb and loves dogs. I have owned raised and trained 2 Labrador Retrievers and 2 Doberman Pinschers over the years who have past away. Ironically I do not currently have a dog living with me so that I can have freedom to travel without worrying about finding a sitter. But I miss having a furry ball of joy around the house. Before dogvacay/rover, I would dog sit for my mother, sister, and for a friend in the military when they were/are away. I live in the city, and can walk everywhere I normally go with a dog. Findlay Market, Washington Park Dog Park, multiple out door festivals, and one of my favorite dog friendly bars "Radio City" are all walking distance from my place, as is all of OTR. I dont have a fenced in yard, but I havent ever needed one. My neighbor allows visiting dogs to use his yard to play, and closest park is 2 blocks away! I I have met a lot of great dogs and owners on this site, and have a life full of dog caring experience. I have personally trained, bread, and shown dogs past the advanced level, and I have read and follow the techniques of Caesar Milan. I would love to meet your dog and give them the attention we all know they need while you are away! I am a realtor, I own the apartment building I live in, and I do airbnb in the other apartments and in my spare bedroom. So I work mostly from home. In my home I provide daily walks on my street and usually hang out with the dogs in my living room or bedroom. Sometimes we will go to Loveland to visit my mother who has a big yard but no dogs live there either. When I have to go somewhere that is not dog friendly, I typically leave the dog(s) in my bedroom. I own the apartment building I live in and I rent out the other 2 private apartments on airbnb, as well as the spare bedroom in my apartment. So most afternoons I am there cleaning. Other than that, I do pretty much all other work on my computer at home unless I have a showing or other appointment. Since I work from home, I'm there almost all day. Sometimes I will visit my mom in the suberbs and I always bring the dog(s) with me.
