Dog Walking Hearthstone

“She was excellent. Showed up on time, gave our dogs extra special treatment and gave them four days of great interaction while we were traveling from out of town. Can not recommend her enough.”

“Brad has been a fantastic help for our dog walking needs for our golden retriever. He’s always quick to respond, easy to work with, and dependable. Each walk report card comes with multiple photos. I’d recommend him to anyone in the Dayton area looking for a dog walker.”

About: I’ve loved and cared for animals since I was a child. We have chickens/ducks, a snake, cats and dogs currently but have also had rabbits if you’re looking for someone with experience outside the norm. I can administer oral medications if necessary. I stay home with my kids so I’m available most of the day, early mornings and evenings so adding in extra pets is no problem at all. I have a fully fenced back yard and two dogs to keep yours company. I also have an extra large crate if requested to make your dog feel more comfortable.

“Jenny was great, and I came home to a happy and well walked pup! Would definitely book again.”

“Autumn was such a huge help while I was working. She made sure Koda went on good walks and spent the time to come meet us before we started walking! She is on time and great with animals”

About: I've had dogs ever since I was 10, but my experience with them goes far beyond that. When I was a little kid, before I ever had a dog, I would go to this read with a dog program called "Paws to Read." I would spend countless hours reading to the dogs and befriending them, along with a cat or two here and there. When I was 10, I got my first dog, a husky, and gave him a wonderful life. He had quite a few medical issues and behaved older for his age because of it, so I know how to provide senior pet care. He has since passed, but my two current dogs, one pitbull and one pitsky, remind me every day how important pets are to me. I've had them both for eight years now, during which we've taken numerous car rides, walks, enjoyed outside and inside playtime, movie nights, and anything a dog could dream of. Now, while I've never had a cat because of the majority of my family being allergic, I never turn away from a cat. I'm a regular at the Gem City Catfe, where I play with the cats often and have gone so often that they are comfortable with me. I keep cat and dog treats on me in case I come across a stray, because all cats and dogs deserve to feel some love. I've also dog-sat and house-sat for a few friends before, so I know how to handle situations like pets not getting along, bathroom accidents, and being a bit of a picky eater. Currently, I am a full time student and work full time at UDRI (UD's Research Institute) from 8:30am - 3:30am. During the summer I won't be taking any in person classes, just two online. But when I return to UD for my final year, I will be taking classes again and may be slightly more limited. When it comes to my pets and caring for clients pets, the comfort of the pet is most important to me. Personally, my two dogs don't get along with each other very well, so they typically have to be separated. Even so, I always make sure to treat them both equally and give them lots of love! If I take one for a car ride and ice cream, I bring ice cream back for the other and take the other for a car ride later that week. If my client has dogs similar to mine, who need to be separated, I would be sure to treat them equally and split my time with them according to my client's requests. Given single-pet households, I'd spend a lot of my time with them! In my downtime, I'd make sure to sit with them while I work on coursework. I'd be sure to take them on walks and go for potty breaks. And of course I'd make sure we get a lot of play time in and lots of love!

About: I’ve taken care of multiple dogs and cats my entire adult life. I currently actively train my dogs at a local Kennel Club and specialize in deaf dog training. I currently own an embroidery shop and work part time. I work my dogs and take care of my kiddos outside of that time. I always enjoy working dogs and helping others. I have a privacy fenced in yard and am able to use my own transportation to pet sit as well. I am primarily available on weekends but feel free to send me any questions.

About: **My day job as a nanny is ending, as the family I work for is moving away at the end of March, so as of April I will have way more availability for pet sitting! I'm looking to fill up my schedule with as many pet sitting gigs as possible including overnight stays and drop-ins at any hour, so don't hesitate to reach out! :) ** Hi! I'm Susie. I've been pet sitting for six years, including overnights and drop-ins. I am a nanny with many years of childcare experience. I also have always loved both dogs and cats, and not owning any of my own gives me the freedom to spend time with different animals as much as I want. :) I have a fun and engaging personality and a background in theatre and acting which I think works great for both kids and fur babies! I will always make sure your fur child is well-cared for, and I can provide references that can attest to this! :) **My day job as a nanny is ending, as the family I work for is moving away at the end of March, so as of April I will have way more availability for pet sitting!

“Liesa was sooo great with Echo! I had wonderful updates and the cutest pictures of their walk! I am so thankful I found someone to help take amazing care of my boy while I’m at work! Thank you Liesa!”
