Dog Walking Hookstown

About: I have hands-on experience working in a veterinary hospital, giving me experience caring for dogs and cats with a variety of needs. I am comfortable with feeding, medications, monitoring behavior, and providing individualized care. I understand how important it is to follow each pet’s routine. I’m especially passionate about making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate a variety of pet care needs throughout the week. I am generally available Monday through Friday outside of my work hours, and I have additional flexibility on Saturdays and Sundays. I typically work around 9 AM–5 PM on weekends, but I’m still available for evening and overnight care. I may also have occasional work on Thursdays, but I will always communicate my availability clearly and make sure I can give your pets the time and attention they need. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. My veterinary experience has taught me the importance of paying attention to changes in behavior, following care instructions carefully, and creating a calm environment for pets. I will treat your home with respect, follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, and keep you updated so you can feel confident that your pets are safe and well cared for.

“Heather was extremely flexible, booked an appointment earlier in the morning and they were walking that same day! She provided a great service with amazing communication before/after the service! I highly recommend her for taking care of your fur babies!”

“Cassandra was so great! We had her walk our high energy boxer while on vacation and it was a gift knowing that he was getting the workout he needs while we were away. I’d love to use her again in the future!”

Ali M.

“We have used him twice and he went above and beyond both times walking my dog, from taking him in his car to a better location for a walk to potty breaks and putting him back in his cage and setting it up the way it was before for his anxiety I would absolutely recommend to anyone”

About: Lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and even farm animals. I grew up helping care for horses, pigs, and multiple pets, so responsibility and attention to detail come naturally to me. At 14, I raised my own red nose pit bull, gaining real experience in understanding dog behavior, building trust, and providing consistent care. While I don’t offer formal training, I’m confident handling dogs and maintaining their routines. I offer dog walking, pet sitting, and drop-in visits, and I treat every pet like my own. My goal is simple: keep your pet safe, happy, and comfortable while giving you peace of mind. I have a very flexible schedule and can easily accommodate the needs of different families. Communication and transparency are extremely important to me, and I always make sure we’re on the same page when it comes to your pet’s care. I value clear expectations and routines, and I’m committed to following your instructions closely. The care and attention you give your pet at home is the same level of exceptional care I provide nothing less. I have two kids at home, so I ask clients to be mindful of that when scheduling visits. I’m happy to provide care in your home or mine, and I’m very flexible and easy to work with. Creating a safe, comfortable, and trusting environment for your pet is my top priority, and I make sure every visit is calm, positive, and stress free.

About: Hi! I’m Izzy, and I have over 10 years of experience caring for pets of all breeds, ages, sizes, and personalities. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. I grew up with a yellow Labrador, so dogs have always held a special place in my heart. Today, I am a cat owner, which has given me an even greater appreciation for the unique personalities and needs of both dogs and cats. Over the years, I have cared for many pets with special medical needs, including administering oral medications and insulin injections to both dogs and cats. Whether your pet is young, senior, energetic, shy, or needs a little extra attention, I will provide the same level of care and patience I would want for my own pets. Pet sitting is currently my full-time job while I pursue my degree online, allowing me to provide dependable, attentive care to every pet I look after. I love spending time outdoors, going on walks, playing fetch, and making sure every pet gets the exercise, affection, and attention they need. If we schedule a meet and greet, there is a $20 booking fee. This helps cover my time and protects my schedule from last-minute cancellations. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out! I look forward to meeting you and your furry family! 🐾💕 I am pursing my degree online with flexible time on my hands! So if you need me I am your girl!! I am just a phone call away!! My clients typically end up having me house and dog sit at the same time. They trust me and if they are away they know they can count on me.

About: I have had cats and dogs of every kind since I was a baby. I started volunteering at a humane society and loved working with animals. Since graduating college, I have been working in the animal field for over a year now. I dog sit a friends house that has multiple animals that take different medications and specialized diets. My friends and family have relied on me to walk and feed their dogs during their days at work. I work 4 days during the week - Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday. (10 hour shifts). I consistently have Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday off. I am always willing to stop before and after my work days as well. I take my dogs to parks or in open fields in the woods and let them run freely while playing with them. I take other dogs on long walks and play with them in the yard. Sometimes will take them to get a pup cup (if they like car rides and have no stomach issues). I always ask owners what their pets love the most, whether it is walks, playing fetch or enjoying a favorite snack!

“Courtney was so caring and loving to our mini australian shepherd. Our dog is just a year old and this is the first time that we’ve had to go on an overnight trip without her. We were gone 4 days and our dog was very anxious. Courtney was a calming, loving and caring presence for her. She did an excellent job. We will definitely have her again and highly recommend her.”

About: I am currently a vet technician in the Naples area and am in my final semester for an MBA in healthcare. I have past experience as a dog trainer and have been a technician for 7 years. I grew up with dogs and have pet sit for family and friends so I truly understand they are part of the family. I have years of experience with canines in all different settings. I am great at reading canine behavior and have worked with all breeds. My years of experience in veterinary medicine as well as being a dog owner provide me with the ability to take care of all of your pets needs and to recognize and resolve any problem that may arise. I am on rover because I am looking for extra work while in school as I am not able to work as many hours I would like to as a technician due to school. I also just love meeting new pet friends! Pet care easily fits into my daily routine. I am willing to work with whatever schedule to meet your pets needs provided I have that time available. I enjoy meet and greets to see a pets daily routine. Routine is vital for a healthy pet. My goal is to avoid break in this routine as little as possible while proving pets attention and entertainment to help ease stress of the break in routine from owners being absent.

About: Hello! My name is Tabatha Garman, I am the sole owner and operator of Special Paws Pet Care and a Registered Veterinary Technician (RVT). As a veterinary technician, I play the nurse role of the veterinary team. I graduated from Kent State University with my Associate's degree in Veterinary Technology in May of 2021 and am currently pursuing my Bachelor's of Integrated Studies focused in animal behavior. While in school for my technician license, I gained various hands-on skills with a variety of animals, from dogs and cats to birds, horses, snakes, and much more. Outside of school, I have trained at numerous veterinary hospitals and gained vital experience in CPR and emergency response. My personal experience caring for animals expands far beyond my education and career, as I have cared for my own, family's, and friend's pets my entire life. As previously mentioned, I have a vast range of experience with different species from small pocket pets and reptiles to large and farm animals. I love working with nearly any species, especially pigs and cows! My medication administration skills are just as vast, including giving various types of injections and fluids, oral pill and liquid administration, topical applications, etc. Any pets with special needs are assured to be taken care of! Specializing in animal behavior, those with unique personalities or who are a bit grumpy or naturally prefer alone time are some of my favorite to work with. I love working to understand them and win them over and am happy to try to work with any type of disposition or behavioral challenges. No job is too big or small. Whether you have a pet that needs daily medication, help getting around, and extra special care, or just want to feel comforted knowing that your furry family member is in great hands, I am happy to care for any and all of them. I am currently dedicating my time to in-home pet care while going to school full-time online, so I am free to fit your pet into my schedule however you may need. While I do personalize my schedule to fit your pet specifically, my typical day is scheduled like this and changed as needed, just to give you a better idea of your pet's time with me: When I arrive, I always spend time making sure your pet is happy, comfortable, and has everything they need. When staying with them overnight, I will keep them company until morning, make sure they have everything they need and get some pets or playtime in, then I will leave as needed to tend to any other appointments, making sure to return to check-in and spend time with them at minimum every 3-4 hours, unless more frequently is needed. Whether you just need a daily check in and play time for your cat while you're away, or if you need someone to take your pup out every couple of hours along with walks and lots of play time, or even if you have an older pup who can't really spend time alone at all, we can definitely make a plan to suit your family purrr-fectly. Your pet's safety is always my top priority. Whether at home, in the car, at the vet, out for a walk, or at the park, I am always extremely diligent to make sure your pet stays safe and sound. I always use doggy seatbelts or enclosures when driving, reflective strips and flashlights at night, ramps and manual assistance for mobility-challenged pups, predator-deterrent to protect them from harm, and vet-approved chews or boredom busters to make sure your pup is happier and healthier when you arrive back home. Out of an abundance of caution, I typically do not have pets I'm watching interact with other pets I'm unfamiliar with (ie: no communal dog parks). In the case that anything does happen while I am with them, I am trained on the safest and most effective way to stop a dog fight, as well as being trained in CPR, emergency triage and response, and homeostatic stabilization. I also always have a list of the nearest emergency hospitals on hand should they ever be needed. I strive to follow all pet-parent's wants and needs for their pets, including whatever training or rules you may have for your pet while they are in my care (crating, treats, toys, etc). If there are any additional safety measures you would like to discuss, just let me know!
