Dog Walking in Kennedy Heights, Cincinnati, OH

About: I have over 100 hours of volunteer service with SPCA Cincinnati, from walking dogs of all sizes to cleaning cat litter pans. Ever since I was 6 there’s been at least one pet in my life. I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, lizards, fish, and rodents! I’m a freelancer, so pet care can fit in almost any day and time. If I am unavailable, I will let you know in advance. Attention is not given until all four paws are on the floor. Disruptive/destructive behavior is answered with Positive Interruption. Good behavior is awarded with free treats (please specify when booking if your pet has any food allergies). There are some our dog just doesn’t like, and it would be nice for them to get some use. I’ve found most pets benefit from classical music playing in the house, especially when their people are away.

About: Former dog owner who travels too much to have their own. When in town would love to hang out at home and chilli with a dog. Previously had a dog for 12 years and now that I travel a lot on weekends it’s not smart for me to own my own. I work from 8-430 daily and do nothing during the week after work that would prevent me from being home. I walk every day and would take the dog along with me. On weekends I go out occasionally but am never gone for more than three to fives hours a day. Occasionally have my cousins dog in my apartment and if needed can make let them play or make sure your dog is the only one in my home.

“On time, was super responsive and took cute pictures!! Would rebook.”

About: I worked at a shelter for a year and a half and then worked at an animal hospital for 3 years. I'm looking forward to meeting lots of new pet friends! I work for myself so I have plenty of time when I'm not out of town to take care of your pets. I love walking and it's much more fun with a pet! I am trained in giving medication and love cuddling with pets in my free time. I have worked in a shelter environment so I have dealt with many different pet personalities.

“On short notice Stephanie was able to walk my dog (Megan) several days in a row. She was great with Megan & they bonded immediately. Stephanie was comfortable in caring for Megan.. Megan had so much fun walking with Stephanie that I have already scheduled several walking dates with Stephanie in September.”

“Brianna has been wonderful with our pup, Phoebe, taking her on long walks giving her plenty of attention. It’s obvious that Phoebe loves spending time with her.”

About: Hi! My name is Colleen, I currently have 2 pups, Summer & Murphy with my husband Max. Summer is a black lab and Murphy is a hound mix. I love my dogs like they are my children and will treat any of your pets like my own! My schedule is flexible and we’re very active with our dogs. We have a privacy fence in our back yard and walk our dogs every day. I grew up with a dog my whole life and dog sit for my friends & family’s dogs all the time so I have a lot of experience taking care of pets. Feel free to reach out to me anytime with more questions, I look forward to meeting you and your fur babies! My schedule is very flexible. Depending on the needs of your pet, I can accommodate most requests. Please reach out for any specific questions you may have! Safety is the number one priority in our house. I would love to come and meet your pup and learn how they best interact with new people. I also am very interested in the best activity for your dog and what specific needs they have.

About: Is your pet looking for a new bff? Do they appreciate the off-key singing of songs featuring their names? Do they enjoy belly rubs and behind-the-ear scratches? As a freelance writer, my schedule is extremely flexible and makes me a perfect fit for pets that might just need a midday walk or drop-in visit. I'm also available for house sitting. Travel can be stressful enough without worrying about your pet or home. I have a great reputation for sending updates and pictures throughout my stay and for ensuring that you come home to a clean house and a happy pet. Message me for more information, and let's schedule a meet and greet!. I can't wait to meet your pets! I set my own work schedule, which means I'm more than happy to take a break to go play with your pet. It also means I'm home most of the day during the work week, so your pet has company while you travel. I prefer to only take care of pets in their own homes. I have a cat at my place and she has only-child syndrome. I have house and pet sat for many of my friends and family in the past. I'm a professional, trustworthy person who is just looking for a little side hustle where I can play with dogs and cats.

“Susan is an excellent walker! She clearly loves dogs and takes the time to build a relationship with them. She is thorough - sends updates and pictures. I highly recommend her services!”

About: I spent my high school in a household with 4 cats (each with wildly different temperaments), and a border collie who loved "herding" them. In the years since moving out, I've fostered 3 cats and house-sat for both cats and dogs. For dogs in particular, I enjoy being outdoors and walking, so taking doggos on walks and playing with them has always come very naturally to me! I have a fully remote job with pretty flexible hours, so I can pop in and out as needed. Whether it be house sitting and vibing with the pets, or going on walks with the dogs, my schedule is fairly accommodating to make things happen! I've grown up taking care of pets with a wide range of personalities and temperaments, and am really good at understanding what pets want and respecting those boundaries.

“I have nothing but good things to say about Elizabeth! She is helping me out with some midday walks and my pup loves her! Would definitely recommend her for any pet care needs!”

“Maureen is incredible!! She went above and beyond taking care of our dog while we were on vacation. She was so kind and sent tons of photos and videos as well as gave detailed updates each day! I feel so lucky to have come across Maureen on here- she will be our first choice for any future needs!”

“Lindsay has been a life saver for my dog when I’m working long shifts. It’s nice to know there is someone reliable who loves dogs to walk my girl. Will be using her in the months to come. Highly recommend and would use her for all services provided.”

About: As an experienced pet owner myself, I know that it takes someone special and trustworthy to take care of our fur babies. I have experience with dogs, cats, guinea pigs, you name it! And I know that leaving our pets is stressful, for humans AND pets! My entire goal is to make whatever you need a sitter for be the least stressful situation. With experience of over 7 years, I’m someone that when you leave for vacation, you can have the comfort of knowing that I will take care of your beloved pets with kindness, gentleness, and attentiveness. I have experience with giving medications, taking on walks, and following set schedules. As a full-time social worker/therapist, I have the warmth and compassion that families and pets need to feel comfortable. I also understand that everyone is in different places in life, which is what guides my flexibility with rates. I’m always willing to negotiate and make something work. I do this for fun more than anything, and I think everyone deserves quality pet care! I am a full time social worker, so pet sitting for me is more for me to have time with animals and form connections with them AND owners outside of what can be a pretty stressful job at times. I work M-F at my job, but I work in a school, so breaks are prime time for me to sit, as I’m not working regular hours and holidays are major travel times. Outside of breaks, I’m available for anything, such as house sitting, quick check ins for a feed, or a walk here and there! I make many things work! In my home, I care for my pet by taking them to scheduled vet check ups, give flea prevention medications and any other current medications, and ensure that their potty space is clean and healthy, so they can be clean and healthy too! I also follow all instruction that I am left with to ensure that pets are safe and cared for under my watch. I always double check and ask questions to be extra careful if I have any. I’d rather ask than mess up, and that’s the best philosophy in my eyes!

About: Have been surrounded by dogs my whole life. Much experience dog sitting, not only my own pets, but many friends and families, as well as multiple Rover dogs. I promise to give your dog as much love as possible and give he/she a new best friend. ***I am fully remote for work*** I work fully remote everyday. Easily able to be with your dogs almost all day long! My hours are typical 9-5 during the work week. Duplex has grass lots and designated dog areas nearby. I also have a car, so I am happy to take them on adventures out of walking distance (if they like car rides!).

About: I’ve been pet sitting (dog and cat) for 5 years now. The spaces I’ve lived in unfortunately don’t allow most animals, so I’ve had the opportunity to pet sit at all my clients’ home. Feeding, walking, playing, cuddling, constant monitoring and attention to detail. Any special instructions left for me to follow will be followed fully and carefully. Soon I should be in a position to host pets, but for now I am willing to come to you! I work from home most days of the week and my job tends to be most busy at the beginning of the day. I would be able to step away the best around the 12-1pm range on Monday, Thursday and Friday. After 4:30pm works best on Tuesday through Friday. Saturdays and Sunday’s are more flexible with times all day generally open (earlier is better for Saturday, later is better for Sunday). Right now I have 2 cats. They stay in the house at all times and do not leave the property unless being taken to the vet. When caring for my clients’ pets I will follow any specific/special instructions given for me to follow. Otherwise I follow the essentials - feeding, walking, playing and cuddles (for dogs). When walking I do try to steer clear of other dogs, children and heavy traffic areas.

“100 stars! Great. Punctual. Loves PepperAnne. Best walker on Rover in my zip code. Thank you, Amanda.”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for over 15 years and love to take them on walks/runs! As a runner, I have found the best way to get your steps in is with a furry best friend. Whether it’s a singular walk or a play date at our house, I will make sure your dog is having the time of your life and sleeps like a baby at night! I work for a real estate company and have a very flexible work schedule. I am able to care for your dogs at all times of day and can talk them for walks or run in any weather! I care of my pets as if they are my own. I will run your dogs, take them on long walks, or bring them to my place for playtime with my dog. I have been running and taking dogs on long walks for years. Whether it’s to get out energy or help them with their weight, I make sure they have a good, safe, and exciting walk!

About: I’m passionate about dogs and offer personalized care to meet each pet’s unique needs. Whether it's playtime, cuddles, or administering medication, I ensure your dog feels safe and loved. With experience caring for senior dogs, I understand the extra patience and attention they require, providing gentle walks and extra comfort to keep them happy and healthy. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide your pet with consistent attention throughout the day. I can easily accommodate walks, playtime, and care whenever needed, ensuring your pet feels comfortable and loved at all times. In my home, I provide a safe and comfortable environment for pets, with a spacious outdoor area for supervised playtime. While the yard is fully fenced, I ensure your pet is closely monitored during outdoor time. I also have a cat, and I make sure all pets are introduced and get along well. When caring for your pet in your home, I stick to their routine and prioritize their safety, comfort, and well-being

“Sara did an awesome job walking our puppy and provided some helpful tips to us as first time dog owners! She went above and beyond and I recommend her to anyone who needs her services!”
