Dog Walkers in Houston, OH

About: With 20 years of experience caring for both dogs and cats, I understand pets at every stage of life—from playful puppies to senior companions. I'm attentive to each pet’s unique needs, whether it’s administering medication, keeping up with a high-energy pup, or providing a calm, comforting presence for anxious or older pets. I also have two cats of my own, so I know how to earn the trust of even the most independent pets. I treat every animal like my own—with patience, respect, and love. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life—I already care for my own two cats and have built my schedule around providing consistent, loving attention. Whether it's morning feedings, midday playtime, or evening check-ins, I make time for each pet’s routine. I treat every visit as more than a task—it's a chance to connect, comfort, and care. In my clients’ homes, I follow each pet’s routine closely to keep them comfortable and stress-free—whether it’s feeding, playtime, meds, or litter duty. I respect your space, keep things clean, and send regular updates so you always know your pet is happy and well cared for. I aim to make each visit feel like you never left!

About: I have taken care of and been around animals for as long as I can remember. Family, friends, and neighbors have trusted me to take care of, feed, and play with their pets. I have had solo, extended stays with animals while owners were out of town. I always put the animals needs before my own and make sure the animal is comfortable and content at all times! I am currently on summer break, so my time is completely dedicated to your pet! I will be more free during week days, as I will usually want to hangout with friends and family during the weekend. I am still available to watch your pet for any time requested! I will care for your pet in your home with any and all instructions you give me. I will be willing to clean up any messes that are made. I will feed, bathe, and cuddle your pets! I will make sure they have enough water and always take them outside for potty breaks!

About: The safety and well being of your pet is my number one concern! Our pets are family and it takes a lot of trust to leave your fur baby with someone new!

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, other than my own dogs I have been a pet sitter for friends / family for 5+ years. I have experience with dogs of all ages and sizes. I’ve had multiple litters of puppies and breeds all the way from chihuahuas to great danes ! I currently work full-time but I have a very flexible job so if you’re nearby I could drop in during work days ! I can usually work with most schedules ! I have five dogs myself! We have 7 acres we let them run free on, but if we do go in public they are always on leashes. I can 100% trust them but you never know with other animals so just a safety hazard ! I’ve cared for dogs with fenced in yards and without so I’m fine with either !

About: I have dog sat for many of my neighbors, friends, and family members all through high school and college. I would often be their first choice, as I am very trusted with their furry family members! Also, I have fostered 10 week old puppies, 3 month old puppies, and many more. I also have experience with reactive dogs, as my own is one. I am a recent college graduate, looking to make some extra money and what better to incorporate my love of animals! I work a part-time job so walking would have to be in the evenings or on my off days, but I can pet sit whenever! On the days that I work however, I am gone for 8+ hrs. I am well rounded in what I can do. All of my dogs have been crate trained so I am experienced in that and I’m also used to being around puppies with my fostering experiences. Also, with drop-in visits, I’m experienced in meeting new dogs and approaching them correctly.

About: Local Troy pet-lover who is re-entering the petcare field after a few years off due to work and caring for my children. I am currently only open to cat sitting, as that is all my schedule allows. I have cared for many pets over the years. I am an animal lover through and through. I have cared for dogs, cats, parrots, fish and even snakes! I managed a dog daycare for 5 years, worked at a dog rescue for 2 years, and have volunteered at a dog rescue for over 10 years. I walked dogs and cat-sat for 3 years during law school and have pet sat for as long as I can remember. I had a robust clientele with dogs of all breeds, personalities, and needs. I can provide references upon request. I have a kitten of my own and had my precious cat Pumpkin for 10 years before he passed away last year. For dog walks, I am free morning to mid afternoon. I am free to visit your kitty early morning, afternoons, and evenings. I am happy to visit once or twice a day, even 3x if your cat needs medication or extra human attention. I care for pets as if they are my own and I am very cognizant of each individual pets needs and always follow their family's instructions to a t.

About: I’ve been caring for cats and dogs from around ten years of age, in that time I’ve cared for pets of friends, families, and neighbors, and I’m looking to expand who I can help, and assist with providing piece of mind to pet owners where I can. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities, and have experience with caring for, owning, and fostering cats and kittens Unfortunately due to my living situation I’m unable to have pets of my own right now, so I’ve got a bunch of extra love to give to yours. I’m currently taking online college courses, so I have ample time to help provide the attention and affection that your pet deserves. This leaves my schedule very open, and I am able to be very flexible with providing pet care. I have full and complete respect for clients property and homes. I understand that it can be frightening to let someone into your home and care for something you love so much, and I do everything I can to ensure that both pet and owner are comfortable.

About: I love all animals. I have more than four years of pet-sitting experience. I have owned dogs and cats my whole life. I have experience working with therapy and service animals. I absolutely love pets and am always up for new experiences. I work as a nurse three days a week. I am free during most days and weekends. I work night shift, so I can dog sit overnight on nights I work if your pup is crate trained. On days that I am off, I am free at all hours. I currently have two pups at home that are both very friendly and playful. They are crate-trained, so if your dog does not like other animals, I can keep them separated. i have plenty of indoor and outdoor space for the pups to play and hang out in.

About: I spoil the animals I have and I would make sure your dogs would get the same love and attention that I give my dog and I would make sure that your dog is well taken care of such as regular potty breaks and walks and the love and care that the dog needs. My dog is named Jordan and she's my baby she is spoiled and has been well taken care of I am a animal lover I have 3 hamsters that have been spoiled as well. I provide a peaceful loving home for each one of my animals and they all get the proper care that is needed and they get plenty of love and attention and well treated and they are family

“Awesome!”

About: I've taken care of dogs for most of my life...from miniature rat terriers, golden doodles, hound dogs, and boxers. I have taken care of puppies as young as 2 months old to senior dogs at the age of 14. I am off all summer from the end of May until the beginning of August. I am also available most days during the week and weekends. and a I will offer the service for in home care at the owners house that way the pet is comfortable in their surroundings to make a new person coming in less stressful for the animal.

About: I have had my dog since I was 8 yrs old I am 18 now and I’ve trained her to do almost anything. I am very patient with animals I let them get used to me and comfortable before I do anything. I now have 2 dogs both smaller. I cared for a large dog for a year he was over 100 pounds. super sweet and loving he was my best friend. Unfortunately I had to move and I couldn’t bring him with me I miss him very much, so I am a big fan of larger dogs. I am currently working 2 jobs 1 every weekend Friday-Sunday. The other job is part time on either Mondays, Wednesdays, or Thursdays. My work schedule isn’t set permanently so I get most weekdays off. I am currently living with roommates so I will have to come to your residence, but that is not a problem for me especially since the pet will already be comfortable with the environment. When I meet a new pet I am very patient with them I will let them come to me to be sure they are okay with me being in their territory.
