Dog Walkers in Kirby, OH

About: Even at a young age, I have seven years of skillful experience in multi-species care ranging from shelter medicine, to low-cost spay & neuter services, to currently mixed animal practice. The last five years, I have been expanding my skill set as an employed veterinary assistant. With that, I am knowledgeable when it comes to medications, pets with special conditions and needs, and capable of handling emergencies. I’m currently working full-time as a veterinary assistant at my local mixed animal practice. With that being said, I am available only in the evenings on the weekdays that I work. However, I am usually available all day on Tuesday’s, Sunday’s, and most Saturday’s. I have one dog and one cat of my own who are both wonderfully inviting and playful with other pets. I offer both crated and uncrated time for my dog, and also your pet upon request. However, both my pets usually have full access to the house at all times.

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life and I always take care of them first! My dog is older but I will do anything to keep him healthy. He is very susceptible to things like hot spots and additional things since he's getting older. I always am on top of any needs of an animal. My sister relies on me all the time to help with hers and I always enjoy seeing my furry nephews. As well I did just get a bigger pitbull which has been very eye-opening and working with bigger dogs. This is something that I enjoy because even though they're stronger and sometimes harder to walk being younger I can have the strength to keep them beside me and just have a nice jaunter. Ever since I was young I've always had pets around me and I have taken care of anything from the normal house dog to reptiles all the way to birds so I am very surrounded by animals on a daily basis. Pet care on a daily basis is part of my routine by now. I always check on every animal and everyday I play with all of them to make sure they've got their playtime in. The dogs going out are a huge thing for me because I always want to make sure that if they have to go they can go and they can also get some outdoor time. I always make sure to love on the kitties too. I think it's important to trust the person that's coming in your home. That is a safe place for you and your family and your furry friends. I would not do anything to someone else's dog that I wouldn't do to mine. My dog is my world and my home is a very important place to me. I respect others boundaries and others belongings as well as animals. My top priority would be your animal over anything else.

About: I’ve spent the past eight years caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments from energetic puppies to large, strong dogs and older pets needing a gentler pace and I’m completely comfortable adapting to each one’s needs. Over time, I’ve learned how important consistency, patience, and understanding behavior are, whether that means handling high-energy walks, reinforcing routines, or helping a nervous dog feel at ease. What sets me apart is that I don’t just walk or check in and leave—I take the time to build trust, give them attention, and make sure they feel safe and cared for. I’m reliable, attentive, and treat every dog like my own, so you can feel confident they’re in good hands. Pet care and pet sitting fit seamlessly into my schedule, allowing me to be flexible and dependable for both regular visits and last-minute needs. With more availability during the current season and upcoming summer, I’m able to offer consistent care, longer visits, and more time for walks, play, and attention. This flexibility benefits clients by ensuring their pets maintain a stable routine, get extra exercise, and receive reliable, attentive care while they’re away, especially during busy travel months. I understand how important it is to trust someone in your home and with your pets. I always prioritize safety, follow your instructions closely, and keep you updated with messages and photos so you know your pet is happy and doing well. I’m respectful of your space, dependable, and treat your home and pets with the same care I give my own. When pet sitting, I stick closely to your pet’s normal routine to keep things stress-free. This typically includes feeding on schedule, fresh water, walks or litter box care, playtime or companionship, and any medications if needed. I also do quick check-ins around the home (like making sure everything is secure) and send regular updates so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to keep everything as normal and comfortable as possible while you’re away.

About: While I am somewhat new to dog/cat sitting, I have grown up with 2 dogs and 3 cats in my household. I also recently adopted my own kitten who I take care of myself! I’m currently back from school for the summer so I am just looking for a part-time job until then. I have a lot of time on my hands, so I’m just looking for good opportunities. I often care for my pets by making sure they always have enough food and water and time of attention and exercise. If someone has specific needs or instructions, I’d follow as told.

About: I've taken care of many different dogs since I was a kid. Family friends, coworkers, and family have relied on me to feed, walk, and play with their dogs. I am a recent college graduate so I have a very open and flexible schedule. I am more than willing to adjust my plans to ensure your pets always have the care they need! I have cared for many different pets with all sorts of medical and behavioral needs. Whether your pets needs round the clock care or just a nice long walk while you're at work I will make sure they get what they need.

About: I grew up watching a lot of Animal Planet, back when Animal Channel was Steve Erwin, Jeff Corwin, Meerkat Manor, and various Vet shows, and I've always had cats around me at home and at my grandparent's. I've also walked and cared for dogs for family off and on over the years. I promise to do my best to take care of your fur babies as if they were my own! I can't do any boarding or stay overs as I have two of my own cats I need to love on, but I'm currently part-time, so I am fairly flexible to make time for your fur babies otherwise. I fully understand that some pets want space from strangers outside the necessary while others need someone to hang out with them and tire them out. I'm comfortable to providing whatever your pet needs.

About: Hey Pet Parents! My name is Juliana and I hold a lot of significant experience in caring for pets! First off, I am a full time student at Ohio Northern University where I currently am apart of the Polar Paws program as a Secondary Trainer. This program allows college students to care for and train future service dogs. As a secondary trainer, I would work with various dogs on campus by training and sitting them while their primary caretaker is busy. Prior to university, I volunteered at the Van Wert County Humane Society where I worked with cats and dogs of all ages and all breeds. This consisted of walking the dogs, cleaning cages, cleaning litter boxes, playing with the animals, etc. Currently I am available anytime during the day and anytime of the week, until I update my availability when I need to go back to campus. I care for pets as if they are children. They need attention, respect, and when being babysat, a good time! That being said, in my own home they have access to their own food, water, play area, and have set potty breaks. In a clients home, the same will apply. Any alternative toys, medications, and food can be used most definitely if requested by client. Always a clean and tidy environment before and after.

About: I've been around dogs for 30 years. I've helped rehab different animals and believe in a holistic approach. Our fur babies are special and deserve the best. I have experience working with special needs dogs and love senior dogs. I work full at the YMCA with a flexible schedule and would love to take care of your pets! I am available 7 days a week. I can crate your dog if needed. I will give them walks and potty breaks as needed. I know all animals are different and must be treated with care.

“Stephanie really came through for us in super short notice. I have two pit bull type breeds and I booked her the night before we left with no way for her to be introduced. She came over and was really good at introducing herself and was not intimidated at all. Because of that my Pooh got two walks a day while we were gone on vacation. Thanks Stephanie!”

About: I have had pets my whole entire life and helped my dad and stepmom with their dog rescue. I love being around animals more than people ;-) Currently not working and wanting to only do things that bring me joy. Animals do that for me 100% and I will always treat them as if they were my own. I have a fenced in yard for my Bailey, our 1 and half year old Saint Berdoodle who absolutely loves everyone. I walk her with a vest because she will take off on me. My cat, Jack, is an indoor cat and only got out one time. He was so scared but I just grabbed a towel, cuddled him to me, and he calmed down immediately.
