Dog Walkers in Kirtland, OH

“Celine is great!! She is very flexible and was able to help us out on short notice. My dog immediately loved her and she was very patient with him as he can be a bit difficult to walk. She is very kind and I definitely trust her with my dog! Thank you Celine!”

About: I am a school-based speech therapist by trade looking for summer and after-school opportunities caring for animals. I grew up with animals (cats, dogs, rabbits), and as an adult I have owned both a cat and a dog. I am comfortable working with special needs pets and administering meds if needed. I believe pets need stimulation and exercise to stay happy and healthy, and I am happy to help out where I can because I know how busy life can be! My availability over the summer is relatively open. I am available M-F early mornings (between 7:30 and 8:00 for drop ins) and anytime 2pm and later for both drop ins and walks. I have open availability on the weekends. I am hoping to provide mostly dog walking opportunities and pet care at the owner’s home. I will treat each of your animals as I would my own! I am a fast learner and will follow all rules and routines you have set in place for your pet.

Your pup will be in caring, compassionate hands- loved, protected, and treated like family every step of the way. I'm currently taking a sabbatical after leaving my job of 8 years, which means I have plenty of time and flexibility in my schedule to care for your furry best friend.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid, and now I have my own 2 adopted mutts (and my 2 fur nephews). I grew up on a farm, so I’m pretty confident with animals, but if you have any concerns or special needs I’m happy to discuss or schedule a meet and greet! I work full time remotely, but have primary duties in the afternoon and evenings, so I’m almost always free for a midday stroll or potty break! At our house there are 4 dogs and lots of kids running in and out, but if your pup is okay with that there’s a huge back yard with a tether, or a neighborhood with sidewalks for walks if that’s more their speed. At your house, I follow your rules! I love to know your dogs favorite spots and which houses are “behind enemy lines.” I’m 6’4 and my hound is quite the rhinoceros, so I can walk the best of them!

Building trust involves gentle interactions, consistent routines, and positive reinforcement. For overnight stays, I maintain a calm and secure atmosphere, respecting the pet's usual sleeping arrangements and providing companionship. During dog walks, I use a secure leash, remain vigilant of the surroundings, and follow the owner's preferred walking routes and commands, always prioritizing the pets safety and well-being.

About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was in my 20’s. I have experience with overnight care, long stays, walking and medication/ special care.

About: I have had pets my entire life. I additionally started pet sitting 15 years ago. I love any time spent with animals and just want them to live their best lives!! I work full time as a hairstylist but have three days off that I would love to fill with taking care of and spending time with your dog or cat! I do live in an apartment so that would have to be okay with owner if the pet is to stay with me; I welcome them!!

About: I've walked dogs, dogs sat for several weeks, owned a dog and a cat for most of my life, and have a general love for all animals of any kind. I'd love to take care of your family members! I'm a current student at Cleveland State University, so on my commute in the mornings and in the afternoons as well as weekends, I'm available to check in on your pets. Our cat is relatively low maintenance so our routine cat-care is easy. But, I've watched dogs that had intense routines and need for interactive time via games, walks, playtime, etc, so I have experience in all types of animals and the care that they require.

“Janet is great! Our two young, high-energy pups love when she walks them.”

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. As a teenager I would help family friends with pet care and I still continue to do so when I am needed. They have trusted me to stay at their house, feed their pet, bathe them, and guarantee that they are safe. I love animals so much and I think this job would be perfect for me! Within the past two years I have lost my dogs who I had since I was young, so I have experience with senior dogs. I now currently have a 2 year old and 6 month old puppy, so I have experience with all ages and sizes! I am currently a graduate student and commute to Kent every Tuesday and Thursday. I am only gone for a few hours those days, so I have availability all week to watch your pets! I have a fenced in yard with a 2 year old golden retriever/Irish setter and he is so sweet! He gets along with every dog and every person he meets :) Your pets would be safe in my home if needed!
