Dog Walking in Kent

“Mary was amazing with Lolita! Our girl can be challenging to walk—there's everything from pulling on her leash to getting reactive with dogs when she encounters them—and Mary handled it all with aplomb and confidence. Not to mention how well Lolita took to her! She was in great hands with Mary and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend her.”

“I can't enough good things about Matt. He's upbeat and friendly to Truman and myself. When walking, he gets updates from friends in the neighborhood and keeps me abreast. Besides walking, he's fed my fish and did small things around the house for me. Truman loves him and I get to speak to him after his walk.”

“Darcy is a lifesaver! She is so good with Teddy and really cares about him Looking forward to more bookings with her. Thanks so much!!”

About: I have helped my family take care of our dogs since I was around 12. I know plenty about dog body language and what they like. I am currently working 2 part time jobs. I am looking to make some extra cash as the weather warms up and also meet some very cute animals. my schedule changes every week but I am available during the afternoon & evening most often. As a responsible pet owner, I will ensure your pet's safety and also take care of their environment. I would never leave them in hot cars or unsupervised in an unprotected area.

About: Love working with dogs and getting them outside for playtime or a walk around the block. Started working with dogs around 2020 once my own puppy needed to continue his training and socialization. I want to make sure everyone is safe and that your dog has a successful walk. For first time introductions, if you know how your dog reacts around strangers we can meet inside or outside your house or place of your choosing. If your dog is more on the shy side or can be territorial, we can meet in a spot in your yard until your dog feels safe. I am comfortable with all size dogs and will walk with a small handful of your dogs food instead of treats if they need a little motivation or you are working on training. I will gladly take photos or videos of your pup if that is something you would like. I currently work full time but am available to walk on Saturdays and Sundays. My availability on weekdays will vary depending on schedule and weather. As of right now, my weekday availability will be after 6 p.m. If you are unsure, please message me :) If your dog is friendly, I am also open to walking your dog with my dog, 5 year old sheepadoodle. But I understand and accept that some dogs need to be walked solo. I currently am not accepting bording inside of my own home. Renting the space I am living and I would need to set up a special agreement to ensure the house and dog are safe.

“Leah was right on time and was good with Tucker. Just the help we needed at this time.”

About: Mom to two energetic pups.🐶 Roy (english setter) & Banks (black lab) keep my life exciting! We enjoy swimming, running, & a good ole cuddle on the couch. As someone whose job requires traveling, I understand the stress it can be to have someone else watch your pups. I’m here to hopefully make your life easier & remove extra anxiety that pups can cause when you’re traveling without them 💓 I am currently a Division 1 coach whose competition season is in the fall, so I only have Mondays off, but my spring season allows me to have an easier schedule with weekends free! I have two friendly, active pups who love to make new friends! I live within 5 miles of 3 different parks that I love taking my pups to!

About: I’ve had dogs growing up my whole life. I helped care for them, as well as my neighbors dogs when they were unable. I love cats too and currently live with one :) I am a college student with a pretty set schedule. I am able to provide availability a month in advance to help with any planning! I am happy to stop by and send lots of pictures. I am in nursing school so any accidents will be cleaned up no problem! Anything to make you more comfortable please let me know!

“Isabel has been a delight to get to know and her enthusiasm with Mulligan is awesome. There is no hesitation asking Isabel back when needed to walk or take advantage of future boarding or play dates.”

About: “ I’ve owned some sort of pet my whole ranging from two dogs a cat couple hamsters and even fish. Now recently in college I am not able to have one but would love to take care of animals. I know the care and patience and dedication it takes that goes into caring for animals and I feel I meet every aspect. I am currently an athlete at the university of Pittsburgh and I have a light scheduling of classes so I’ll be able to have plenty of time to watch over and care for your pets! I make sure to carefully follow directions from the owner to make sure I do everything needed for the pets to be in their best health. Always watching and making sure they are safe

About: I've had cats and dogs my entire life. I've never met a pet I didn't like! I will make sure your pets are taken care of and loved until you return. I love to give ear scratches and belly rubs! I will carve out time for your pet, no matter what else is going on. I am very responsible and dependable I'm happy to help. I will stick to your feeding instructions. Lots of interaction, walks and play time. I give lots of scratches, rubs and lovin' until you come home.

About: I am very responsible and I love to be around animals. I like to have an organized schedule as well and have all my plans in order. I am a full time student as well as being in a sorority. I often go home to see my dog and take care of him on needed weekends. I will take care of any clients pet and as if it their pet is my own. I will always make sure every pet has exactly what it needs to be comfortable.

About: With years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages and personalities, I offer more than just basic pet sitting—I provide reliable, loving, and structured care tailored to each pup's needs. I’ve stayed in clients' homes for extended periods, managing full-time routines while they vacationed stress-free. From daily walks, feedings, and baths to morning and evening care rituals, I treat every dog like family. I’ve also helped with basic training, reinforcing positive behavior while gently correcting unwanted habits. My goal is always to create a happy, safe, and loving environment—where your dog feels at home, and you feel confident they’re in great hands. I’m currently in the exciting phase of starting my own business, which means I’m not tied to a full-time job and have a very flexible schedule. This allows me to give your dog the time, attention, and consistent care they deserve—whether it’s daily walks, extended stays, or last-minute needs. I'm here when you need me! I care for pets exclusively in my clients’ homes, which helps keep the dogs comfortable and relaxed in a familiar environment. I take time to build trust with each dog so they feel safe, loved, and at ease while their owners are away. I stick closely to their usual routines—walks, meals, playtime, and any specific care instructions—so they experience consistency and comfort. My goal is to make my presence a positive and calming one, so your dog feels secure and well-cared for every step of the way.

“Jessi’s is great with our dog Murphy on his walks and giving him his medication. Murphy is always excited to see her, too!”

Currently I have a senior dog at my parents house, and I feel very comfortable taking care of senior aged dogs and cats. As well as I am fostering a puppy with my roommates right now and I have gained experience in training a puppy! I am currently working a part time job but that I flexible and I really have open availability pretty much with pet care. During the week is better for me. Monday and Wednesdays from 9-2 I do have observation hours I’m doing. I try meet the animals and owners prior to leaving so they can give me the run down as well as they feel comfortable and I feel comfortable before they’re gone! As well as I give updates of pictures or texts of their pets to owners.

About: I have been around dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. I had a senior dog myself! I would love to hangout and care for your loved ones! I am currently working part time, so on days that I am off, I would love to care for your pets! Even on days that I am working, I can always stop in before or after my shift! I am not comfortable bringing any pets into my home as I do live in an apartment. But, I am willing to take your dogs to the dog park, on a walk, in the backyard, etc!

“Dana was amazing! My two dogs absolutely enjoyed walking with her and she always kept me updated. Highly recommend I will definitely use her again!”

About: I have been overnight sitting / home visiting different friends/neighbors pets since I was 15 years old! I am very trustworthy and reliable and make sure I am always on time and organized! I am currently a college student at kent state! I work a part time job and I am also in a sorority, I only have class Mondays and Wednesdays and other than that I am very flexible! I am very respectful and clean! I do not want your pets to be uncomfortable just as much as I wouldn't want to be! Depending on the service needed I am very flexible with you and your pets needs.

About: I provide personalized care for your furry family members, backed by years of experience and a genuine love for animals. You can schedule overnight stays, drop in visits, and walks. I'm dedicated to ensuring your pet's happiness and well-being while you're away! I’m passionate about providing 1 on 1 care in home, because that is what makes your pets feel the most comfortable! I started walking dogs since I was 13 years old, and I’ve worked in multiple doggy daycares as an adult. Through these experiences I’ve learned that I do prefer individualized care (by a landslide). Their safety and happiness will always be a top priority for me! Dogs and cats aren't the only animals that I enjoy caring for! I worked on my family's farm for over three years intermittently, where I provided care for horses, donkeys, pigs, goats, and chickens. I’ve also taken care of guinea pigs, bearded dragons, snakes, hedgehogs, parrots, rabbits, etc. as my own personal pets throughout my life. If you have another animal friend that needs taken care of, it’s usually not an issue, just make sure to clarify with me prior to booking. I have successfully been relied on for years to walk, play with, feed, give medication, and pet sit. I will love them like they're my own 🤍 My calendar is regularly updated, and this is my full time gig. You won’t have to worry about me leaving the house or your furry friends unattended for longer than a few hours. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or requests based on my availability. I really do want to help out families and care for your pets, so I will accept most late requests as long as I'm available, and if you're a regular client I'm even more likely! I will specify times with any booking requests. I do not offer my own personal in-home services, but when it comes to your home I will do anything to protect your pup or pet. I will not walk out of the house unleashed, and I can crate or gate your pup inside if that's your preference when I need to leave. I also make sure to use security systems if asked when staying overnight. **Please let me know about any small quirks that may come with your place, such as a gate that doesn't always latch outside (in case of a pupper running), or an AC unit that may only be operated by phone in case of summer heat, etc. **

About: Leaving your pet in someone else’s care can be intimidating. But with me you don’t have to worry. I am a full time animal rescue worker as well as an animal rights advocate. I’m currently working on getting my own 501c3 rescue registered and I have been working in the rescue world for 4 years now full time. You can easily find out more about my rescue efforts by searching my first name on Kent Wired. I keep clear and open communication and absolutely love pet photography so pictures are a given! I have taken care of farms, dog kennels (with over 25 dogs at a time), cats, snakes, hamsters…You name it! Ive always had a pet in my family growing up and fostered since I was 6 years old. Animal care is my passion and I’d love to give your pets some love. Please feel free to ask me any questions. Aside from animal rescue, this is my only other time commitment. I can be available when needed for whenever as long as we communicate about what your furbaby needs! I will be there. I cannot currently care for animals in my home unless your dog is 100% okay with being around cats and my small dog. They also are required to be on flea meds upon entry to my home for the safety of all animals involved.
