Dog Walkers in Howland Center, OH

About: I’m a former first responder and military veteran. 25+ years of hands-on experience caring for dogs from playful pups to seniors and special needs pets. I’ve worked with breeds from tiny Chihuahuas to giant Cane Corsos and English Mastiffs, and I’ve given both oral meds and injections when needed. I picked up practical dog handling skills during my time in the military, and I’ve raised and trained my own pets since I was a kid. Today, I share life with my own sweet dog, and every pet I care for gets the same love, patience, and respect I give my own. Whether they need structure, snuggles, or just someone calm and steady, I’m here to make them feel safe and happy. I’m home full time and available most hours of the day including weekends. I can easily fit into your pet’s routine. Whether your pets needs a lunchtime potty break, morning walk, or evening snuggles, I’m here when you need me. I provide a pet-friendly environment in a great neighborhood just minutes from Mill Creek Park (3 min) and the dog park (10 min). Whether I’m in my home or yours, I focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and cared. I follow any instructions closely, keep routines consistent, and always give each pup the patience and love they deserve.

About: I have had dogs all my life, mostly German Shepards, the one I currently have I was there helping the mom to give birth! She is also very well trained! I know it’s hard to leave them so let me give you peace of mind! I am looking to help those who may be working mornings Monday -Friday. I would be available as early at 7 but no later than 5 I will keep your fury friend company, sending pictures to you to give reassurance and take care of any other needs your pet may have!

About: I have taken care of family pets since I was young. As I grew older, I adopted my own pets and have volunteered in animal shelters as well. I have always had dogs and cats in my life and it has grown to guinea pigs and a bearded dragon. I'm able to give baths, do walks, and bathroom breaks and provide ample amounts of play time. I am available for Labor Day weekend! I am also a full time stay at home mother so currently all of my days and times of the week are free and open, even weekends. I let all of my animals on my furniture if they want in my home. They all have their special homes and spots where they can be in peace until they come out with the rest of the family. My home is kept clear of dangerous items, tiny small toys for example that pets might eat.

About: I love & have always had animals around! We always had pets growing up (dogs, cats, guinea pigs, etc) and I worked as a pet sitter / dog walker with a company called Merry Puppins for about a year. Before that, I worked and volunteered with different rescues which gave me experience with a lot of different types of breeds and personalities :) I’m currently getting ready to move & will have a lot of extra free time the next month or so, my schedule is very flexible at the moment! I can do whatever is needed! My typical pet sitting visits included walking, sometimes feeding / giving medication, hanging out for a bit and then making sure they have everything they need before heading out. Every pet / home is different though!

“Janet is so dependable. She’s literally the first person I go to when I need someone to watch Randy. She always sends pictures and updates and Randall LOVES her!!!”

“Without hesitation, without any doubt I would have Kelly watch our fur babies again! We have two terrier/yorkie mixes. Our girl is very anxious and timid, especially around strangers. However, at our very first meet BOTH our dogs allowed Kelly to pet them and walk them. There are just certain people that animals gravitate to and just know that they have that kindness about them-Kelly is one of those people!”

About: I was raised around animals, particularly dogs and cats. I love dogs, but I also like cats. I’ve raised so many from puppies and kittens. They’re my best friends. Time with animals is time best spent. I work part time second shift in healthcare. My schedule is fairly flexible. I’ll do my best to make it work, no matter how last minute. I live by the words “always leave a place better than you found it”. I stay within a client’s boundaries when pet sitting. Any pet mess will be immediately cleaned up.

About: I've taken care of different animals my whole life. I have personal experience taking care of my senior dog that was blind. During that time,I learned how to give oral medications and instill eye drops. Safety was a main priority. My house looked like an obstacle course, with cushions and pillows around anything he could run into, baby gates at the stairs, etc,but it was all for the love of my dear Comet. Friends and family have relied on me to take care of their dogs and cats as well. Whether it was a drop in visit, a walk, a bath or an over night stay, etc; I enjoyed every bit of it. Animals have my heart, even if they are not my own. They are my escape and bring me so much joy and happiness. With todays society and how some people treat animals, I believe us animal lovers need to come together and give every animal that we can the love and treatment they deserve. That is why I would be a good choice to care for your family member, I would treat them as if they were my own. I currently work a full time job from home. I work 7am to 3:30 pm. I have every weekend off. I could easily have your dog at my home for the day or do drop in visits and walks after 3:30. If I do services at my home, I have a big back yard,where I will have a fenced in play area so your dog can play freely. I also have a large back deck that can be enclosed with baby gates. I have a 4 year old male Maltese Yorkie, I love spending time outside with him, especially in the summer months, so that is most likely where we would be. There is an umbrella on the deck and a large tree that provides plenty of shade. I also have a baby pool that is always filled with fresh water,so they will be able to take a dip to cool off or play ,along with a sprinkler that my dog loves to play in. There is also a long gravel driveway next door to me that leads to a farm that I can take your dogs for walks on. My home is clutter free and smoke free. Nothing is out that my dog could get into and potentially cause harm. For dog walking, I ask that your dog has a harness and a reliable leash. There are a few places that I take my dog for walks. Those include, Mosquito Lake, Buhl Park , a development that my parents live in and a development my boyfriends mother lives in. I am very familiar with all of these locations. Mosquito Lake also has a dog park that I could take your dog to ,if you would like. If there is an area your dog is familiar with and has been to or if you live in a development , I would be more than happy to walk them there. I stay alert and always stay aware of my surroundings. During transportation to and from anywhere, I have a backseat barrier in my car. I am all about keeping my dog and others pets safe, so whatever I can do to achieve that is what I will do. For drop in visits, I ask for details about your pets needs and what needs to be done. During my visits I will treat your fur babies as if they were my own. I will spend time with them and give them the attention they need before I leave.

I have also dog sat for friends, including multiple visits a day to their home to walk the dogs and take care of their needs. I also have experience fostering and owning cats, so I would love to watch cats as well as dogs. I have experience giving medicine to cats and dogs in the form of liquid and pills in case your pet requires medication.
