Dog Walking Hill Craft Acres

About: I have 3 dogs of my own who I love to take care of! I can feed, walk, bathe and most importantly give lots of love!! My schedule is super flexible, so I have lots of time in the mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I’m working part time this summer so I can spend real time with your pets and give them lots of love instead of rushing :) I have grown up around pets and I genuinely love being around animals. I’m super comfortable with both dogs and cats, and I like getting to know each pet’s personality!! whether they’re playful and energetic or more calm and cuddly. I’m patient, responsible, and I always try my hardest to follow instructions exactly how they’re given.

About: I’ve loved and cared for animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up with cats, and now I have a dog who’s truly part of my family. Since I was 10 years old, I’ve also been the go-to pet sitter for my neighbors whenever they go out of town, making sure their dogs are walked, fed, and, most importantly, loved while they’re away. Being around animals has always brought me so much joy, and I take pride in treating every pet like they’re my own, giving them the care, comfort, and attention they deserve. I will be nannying over the summer on some Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays until around 4 pm so on the days that I am nannying I will be free any time after 4. But on other days I will be free all day long. Whether it’s taking your dog for a walk, letting them out for a potty break, or just giving them some extra love and attention, I’d be happy to help keep them happy while you’re away. When caring for pets in your home, I treat them like part of my own family. I make sure they’re comfortable, safe, and happy by sticking to their usual routine, whether that means walks, feeding, playtime, or just some extra snuggles. I know how important it is for pets to feel secure in their own space, so I always give them plenty of love and attention while keeping your home just the way you left it.

About: I've grown up with both cats and dogs my whole life of all sizes! As a college student, I'm really missing my pets back home. I'm really looking forward to caring for others pets! As a college student, my availability is very flexible. Afternoons and evenings are the most ideal for me, however, I can still work in morning hours occasionally! Full availability offered during the weekends. Please let me know your pets preferences and I'll easily be able to accommodate for them🫶. I'm very happy to take your pet on walks or simply keep them company while you're away

“I haven’t used Rover in probably 10 years. I was hesitant to go back to it because you never know who’s going to be taking care of your dogs. I just finished my first week having Andrea walk the dogs and I can’t begin to explain how highly I would recommend her. From the pictures and updates she’s sending, to going above and beyond making sure I know that she’s walking the dogs the full-time. I’m just hoping she doesn’t stop doing this anytime soon because she is amazing!”

About: Hi! I'm Shosuke from Batavia, OH. I've been pet sitting for over 3 years and love spending time with dogs and cats! I have experience in dog sitting, dog walking, administering medicine, and feeding. I currently have a German Shepherd named Cosmos and used to have a Pomeranian named Ponta, so I'm comfortable with pets of all sizes. I'll treat your furry friends like my own! Feel free to send me a message-I'd love to help! I work from home with a super flexible schedule, so taking care of your pup fits right into my daily routine! Since I'm around all day, your pup will get plenty of companionship, fun play breaks, and all the walks they need! Whether at my home or yours, I make sure your pup feels comfortable and truly cared for. I love spending quality time with them, keeping up with their usual routine, and making sure they have a happy, relaxed day!

“We have been working with Michelle for a couple of months. She is super reliable, always on time, and communicates super well. My dog Otto leaves a 5 paw review for her as well, saying she is super friendly attentive, and always gives him treats post walk. If you want someone to treat your pet like family would definitely recommend working with Michelle!”

About: What sets me apart is my experience caring for dogs of all ages and personalities. I currently pet sit for 6–7 different families, with dogs ranging from 8-week-old puppies to 14-year-old seniors. I also regularly help care for my sister’s dogs and have a German Shepherd of my own. I’m dependable, attentive, and treat every pet like family, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m currently on summer break from the University of Cincinnati, so I have a very flexible schedule. I also work a part-time remote job, which allows me to be home throughout the day and gives me plenty of availability for pet care. Whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, feeding, playtime, or overnight stays, I can easily fit pet care into my daily routine and make sure each pet gets the attention and care they need. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make it a priority to keep their routine as consistent as possible. I follow the owner’s instructions closely for feeding, walks, medications, playtime, and bedtime so pets feel comfortable and secure while their family is away. I also make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and exercise, and I keep the home clean and tidy. My goal is to make the experience as stress-free as possible for both the pets and their owners.

“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've been caring for dogs for over 12 years and currently have two dogs of my own. I understand how important routines, exercise, and attention are for every pet. Whether it's a drop-in visit or a walk, I treat every dog like one of my own. I provide fresh water, feeding, potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and plenty of affection while following your pet's normal routine. You'll also receive updates and photos during every visit so you always know how your pet is doing. Caring for dogs is part of my everyday life. I care for my own two dogs daily and have the flexibility to provide dependable drop-in visits and walks. I keep my calendar up to date and communicate promptly so you know exactly when your pet is being cared for. Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, medications, walks, routines, and any special needs. I'll make sure doors and gates are secured, clean up after your pet, refresh food and water, and leave your home exactly as I found it. I treat every home and pet with the same care and respect I'd want for my own.

“Tori has been great with communication and flexibility, as well as taking care of my puppy. He loved her so much he cried for her when she left lol! We will definitely rebook in the future.”

About: I spent my entire life around animals. I grew up with an Australian Shepherd, who lived to be 18. Not long after that, my family adopted a puppy, and later two cats. I helped to train the puppy, I introduced the cats, and today they still thrive. Theoughout my childhood/teens, I learned about and cared for many-a-creature. Guinea pigs, rats, a hamster, sugar gliders, a hedgehog, and even a dove! My passion for animals has only grown. When I moved away, it was lonely, and I was quick to adopt a kitten. He's almost 6 now! My pets are family, and yours are too. I will always care for a pet as if it were my own! I am currently working from home as a digital artist & jewelry maker, so I am able to set my own schedule and adapt as needed. I currently don't offer visits/walks on weekends, but this might change. Consider me a perfect pick for your pet while you're away during the work week! Whatever you need! I am able to clean litter boxes, crate dogs, play in the yard with your pups, or inside with toys if that's preferred! I am also familiar with Kongs & other enrichment toys. Or if your buddy just needs a pet and a cuddle, I'm here for that too! I can also administer most oral medications. Please reach out with any questions!!

About: I've cared for dogs, cats, fish, and small animals for 20 years. I am also a reptile owner and comfortable caring for some reptiles and amphibians. I am currently available full time for pet care, regarding pet sitting or daily walks. I am also able to care for and feed some reptiles and most amphibians. I much prefer to care for animals in their own home. I feel it is less stress on the animal and more comfortable for them.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs since I was three years old. Our household has once consisted of four dogs at once and I loved it. I’ve taken care of dogs as young as eight months to 14 years old. My experience consists of grooming, potty training, basic training, feeding & water, medication management, and even changing diapers in later stages of life. I’ve also taken care of neighbors pets, including dogs, cats, guinea pigs, rabbits, and even hedgehogs. I have experience of checking in on the dogs and feeding them throughout the day to staying at the house for hours to provide exercise and company for their furry friend. I also have over a year of volunteer experience at local dog shelters. I am a graduate student so I have open availability throughout the week. The longest I’m gone one day per week is four hours. I do work from home on Monday’s for two hours but then I am free to spend time with my furry friends. I attend classes twice a week, Monday’s I am gone for 3 hours and Tuesday’s I am gone for 7 hours. The rest of the week I am not home for 0-3 hours. This means your furry friend will not be left alone for more than 4 hours any day except Tuesdays. I walk my dogs every 2-4 hours and we enjoy trips to the dog park at my apartment complex. I have two friendly dogs at my apartment that would love to meet your pet. We spend a lot of our time playing or snuggling on the couch. We go for walks around our apartment complex and we take trips to the dog park next to our building. I have a young energetic dog that loves to play and a have an older dog that loves to get the zoomies and then become a couch potato. When I am away, my dogs stay in their crates. For your furry friend, I can use a doggy gate to give them some extra space since they are in a new environment. I can keep them in my kitchen which will give them enough space to walk around and lay in their bed. My dogs takes medicine twice a day so I already have a routine for giving medications to my dogs. I would be happy to walk your furry friends with my dogs or by themselves if that is your preference. We also have plenty of dogs toys ranging from stuffed animals to the Bark Super Chewer toys, if your dog likes to destroy toys, like mine does. I have two beagles so I am used to food driven dogs that only listen if there are treats involved. I also have my garbage secured underneath the cabinets with baby locks on them so no animal can get to it. I also am within 20 minutes of a 24 hours emergency vet if your dog was to ever show any concerning signs.

“Thank you so much! He's in such a great mood!”

About: I've had pets as long as I can remember. I have 2 Great Danes..a bully mix and two cats at the moment. My most recent job was at a local dog boarding/daycare facility. I also foster through Cincinnati Animal Care. I'm currently a stay at home mom with pretty much an open availability. I can make myself available morning..noon and night. Almost any day of the week I would be available as well. I provide your pet with lots of attention and pets if that's what they're into. Whether it's staying at home and relaxing...going for walks or tug of war with the rope in the back yard..I'll make sure they're happy!

“When Sutton and I met Lauren and Wynn, it was easy to chat with them and Sutton instantly loved them both! She seemed very comfortable with them and was very happy to see them. I really do appreciate the pictures and updates from the walks. We are very fortunate that Lauren and Wynn are there for Sutton and we truly appreciate the care they give her. ❤️🐾”

About: I am a very passionate, attentive, and empathetic person when it comes to any and all animals! For many years I have taken sole care of both dogs and cats of all different breeds, and am well experienced in all general pet care to include special needs pets. All of the dogs I ever had as a kid were trained as puppies almost solely by myself and my brothers. My mom used to make me read books and do online research about the breed of dog we had, different training techniques, K9 first-aid, and so much more. Being as passionate as I am about animals, those studies were well retained, and while I don't have professional experience, the knowledge gained from doing it on my own with 9 different dogs over my lifetime have graced me with at the very least, an in depth knowledge of all different stages of dog ownership. This knowledge was also accentuated professionally as I worked alongside military police K9 handlers during my time in the Air Force. Not to worry though, I mix structure, routine, and discipline with plenty of tender loving care, and know how to tune my approach to dogs of all temperaments. In regards to puppies: I have experience potty training, leash training, crate training, and what I would call experienced but moderate obedience training skills. I know how to deal with things like food aggression, how to properly establish the "hierarchy" or "pack mentality" and other conditioning behaviors. As well as handling young puppies, I've even assisted a momma in giving birth to a new litter, and taking special care of a brand new litter of 7 pups! So my experience with all dogs truly does begin at birth and goes all the way to end of life care. For the old timers: The couch potatoes in our lives need just as much, and sometimes even more care than their energetic and young counterparts. I have experience with things like giving medication and shots, managing specialty diets, and a number of other age specific needs. I'm very patient and am willing to take the time to get to know your pet and what they need. Every animal has a different personality and needs attention in different ways, and I'm very attentive to that! I will always treat your pet as if they were my own, and will to the best of my ability make sure that your pet is well taken care of at all times. I'm a full-time nomad and side gigs are my primary source of income. Pet care IS my weekly routine. I'm available and more than happy to abide by the normal 9-5 schedule for daytime pet care, but I can also easily adjust to fit any alternate schedule; whether you need overnight pet care, or any other odd schedule constraints met, I am available. I have lived with my own dog in a variety of different conditions. From being on our own in both houses and apartments, to having a full house of dogs and cats. I am well versed in any additional responsibilities and special care based on living situations, and have no trouble go up and down a few flights of stairs for potty breaks/walks, etc.
