About: I love dogs! I’ve always loved them. When i got my first dog at 8 I was terrified. I would scream and jump on the toilet. She wasn’t even the size of my backpack lol. As the years went on I grew not only a pet but a sister! She was there for me even when i didn’t think i needed her. I want to give your pet the same love I gave to her! Right now i have a mini golden doodle. She is a very special dog lol. She gets on my nerves but i wouldn’t trade her for anything. She’s always doing different things to keep me on my toes. I would make sure that your dog is properly cared for. Whether that is playing fetch with them or taking them for a walk. I live in an apartment that has a huge field. They will get the proper exercise for sure. I love to run with them.
About: I have always taken care of my own pets and have pet-sat for years, for both dogs and cats. I enjoy walking dogs and caring for them. I am looking for a part-time flexible job that will fit into my current schedule. I am available with notice and can be available early or late. If there is a request for me to stay at your home, I require an in person visit before booking. I will only take care of pets in your home. I currently have a dog and 4 cats and could not upset their balance. I enjoy walking with the dogs and playing fetch. I also enjoy down time just talking with them and petting them.
About: Loving and responsible dog sitter with a passion for caring for furry friends. Experienced in handling dogs of all sizes and breeds, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and well-exercised. Reliable, attentive, and ready to provide your pet with the best care while you're away! Pet care is an amazing outlet to help clear your mind while also contributing to the health for both the pup and I in an enjoyable manor!! :)) When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I make sure to follow their specific routines for feeding, walking, and playtime to keep everything familiar and comfortable for the pet. I provide lots of attention, love, and exercise to keep them happy and healthy. I also keep a close eye on their behavior and health, making sure they’re safe and relaxed at all times. Cleanliness and a calm environment are priorities, and I communicate regularly with the pet owner to update them on how their pet is doing!!
About: In addition to caring for my own dogs, I've fostered over 40 dogs including puppies, senior dogs, dogs recovering from surgery, and dogs requiring special behavioral and/or medical assistance. I've recently been approved as a puppy raiser for Canine Companions. I am retired and available during the work day. I know what it's like to worry about your dog getting the exercise and attention they need, my flexibility can work for you. I will have your dog on-leash for any walks or outside time at my home. As the pawrent, I want to follow any directions or suggestions that you have for making your dog comfortable and happy.
About: I love pets!! My kids make fun of me because I would likely have a zoo if I had enough time and resources. So, since I can’t love on all them as my own, let me temporarily love on yours while you are away. I currently own 2 Shiba Inus named Murray and Mira, who are extremely friendly with other dogs, and 2 cats who think they are dogs. I am constantly pet sitting for my friends and neighbors. From my girlfriend and her diabetic cat to my buddy with a rambunctious Aussie to the rescue foster who is scared of her own shadow. These are just some examples of my experiences caring for pets. I have a nice, fenced yard in a safe neighborhood and a welcoming home to accommodate pet sitting as needed. Help me fund my own time away and/or building a fund for my next furry family member. ;) I currently work from home and have flexible schedule. I prefer in home boarding during weekdays, but could do in home care if within 10 minutes driving or on weekends. I am open minded to your care needs. I typically walk 3 miles a day, so I’m happy to go on a nice walk with your best friend.
“First time using a dog walker, and I’m so glad I did. Sam was great and responsive to a last minute request. My dog came back worn out and will likely nap for awhile. Thanks Sam!!!”

About: I’ve always loved being around animals and have years of experience caring for dogs and cats for family and friends. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, bathroom breaks, playtime, and following each pet’s individual routine. I know every pet has their own personality, so I take the time to learn what makes them comfortable — whether that means lots of play and attention or giving a shy pet time to warm up to me. I’m very attentive to instructions and will treat your pet and home with the same care and respect I would want someone to give my own. I’m also happy to send plenty of pictures and updates during visits so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing! I have a flexible weekly schedule that gives me plenty of time for pet care! I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week, including evenings and weekends. I keep my Rover calendar updated regularly so my availability is always as accurate as possible. I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine whenever I can, and I’ll always communicate clearly about scheduling. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always come first. I’ll follow their normal routine and your care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any household rules. I’m careful about keeping doors, gates, and leashes secure, and I’ll always supervise your pet appropriately. I also understand how important it is to trust someone in your home. I’ll treat your space with respect, clean up after your pet, and make sure everything is left the way I found it. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention while you’re away.
About: I work at The Wag Dog Bar in Grandview! If your pups like other ones, let’s talk about the possibility of me bringing them for a few hours! If that makes you uncomfortable, no worries! I will still enjoy doing all other services to provide for your pup :) This position put me through a lot of training about dog behavior! I recently rescued my very own bully mix from the shelter. I am very comfortable with any and all pups! I am currently working two part time jobs so my schedules often changes! If you want to ask, please reach out and I will provide you my schedule for the whole week! My pup is like my child. I treat her with gentleness, just like I would your pup. I always have treats on hand (please let me know if your pup has any allergies!) I always go by the policy that the pup’s comfort and experience comes first!!

About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and understand that pets are family. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I’m patient, dependable, attentive to routines, and skilled at recognizing behavioral changes and individual needs. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to care for their dogs by feeding them, taking them on walks, providing companionship, administering basic medications when instructed, and making sure they feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I have experience providing both in-home pet sitting and boarding dogs in my own home. Before transitioning into the corporate world, I partnered with a friend who owned a successful dog-sitting business, where I cared for pets for approximately six years. During that time, I gained experience working with dogs of different breeds, sizes, personalities, and care needs. I’m now excited to return to pet care because it’s something I truly enjoy. I enjoy spending quality time with pets of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and care. Whether your pet needs exercise, playtime, cuddles, or simply someone reliable to keep them company, I’ll treat them with the same love and attention I give my own animals. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your furry family member is in caring and trustworthy hands. I work a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide dependable and attentive care for your pets. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I’m happy to accommodate feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication routines, and plenty of affection. I’ll communicate with you throughout each visit by sending updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special instructions before every visit. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or taking them for a walk, I’ll provide patient, loving, and attentive care while respecting your home and your pet’s boundaries. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and committed to making sure your furry family member feels comfortable, secure, and loved every step of the way.
About: Hello there! I’m an Otterbein alumni and will graduate from Medical school at Ohio University in spring of 2025. I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 5 years old. Growing up, we had multiple dogs and cats of various breeds and personalities! I know that each dog is unique and have different needs and routines! I have a fenced backyard so your pup can run and play as much as they would like! I’m currently on break from medical school, so I have a lot of free time at home to play with your pups or come by for a walk! I have a fenced yard and 2 friendly labradoodles that love to play with other dogs. If your dogs are playing outside in the fenced yard, I will always be out there with them! I got my dog, Luna, midway through college as an emotional support animal and she means the world to me and I know your dog means the world to you as well, so I’ll always take good care of them!

About: I am a Registered Veterinary Technician and long time dog sitter for family and friends. I love meeting new pets and giving them lots of scratches! I’m a Veterinary Technician and I work at a pretty flexible job where I work 4 days a week and get two hour lunch breaks. Having the extra time over lunch allows me to check on pets mid day and do walks/meds/lunch feedings etc. I usually do care in clients homes rather than my own. However, watching pets in my home can be worked as long as they get along with other dogs and cats. I have two very dog friendly dogs and a couple very happy and cuddly cats!
About: I graduated from UGA in 2023. There, I volunteered with the local shelters. I’ve grown up always having multiple dogs since I can remember. I’ve taken care of many pets of all ages. My girlfriend and I have 2 orange cats at home, Franklin and Ralphie! I’m currently in EMT school working towards my firefighter path. I just moved to town with my girlfriend from Savannah, GA! I’m also working part time. We have an apartment here in Grandview with our two high-energy and very spunky orange cats, Franklin and Ralphie. My best buds are my two golden retrievers, Dudley and Zeke. I am also CPR certified.
About: Being around dogs is something that comes naturally, and making them feel comfortable is always the priority. Time is taken to understand each dog’s personality, whether that means helping a puppy learn or giving a senior dog a slower relaxed walk. Every walk is filled with patience, attention, and a little extra love (and probably a few happy tail wags along the way). The goal is always a safe, fun, and stress free experience for every pup 🐾 I’m in my second year of college and working part time job on weekends, so afternoons on weekdays are when I’m most free. Every pet is cared for based on what they’re used to and what makes them feel most comfortable. In a client’s home, routines are followed closely to keep things familiar like feeding times, walks, or play. At home, pets are in a safe calm environment with lots of attention and care. Whether they’re energetic or more relaxed, they’re always treated with patience and love.
About: Dogs have been part of my life for nearly a decade. I grew up caring for my family dog Tootsie, who is now a senior and a three-legged sweetheart after multiple surgeries. From her puppy days to her senior care, I’ve learned patience, consistency, and how to give extra love to pups with special needs. I’ve also adopted my own dogs, Raffles and Biscuit, from a shelter and helped them transition into home life. They’re now crate-trained, socialized, and thriving. I love getting to know each dog’s personality and making them feel safe, happy, and loved. I work from home, which means I have a very flexible schedule for potty breaks, walks, and playtime throughout the day. Whether your pup needs mid-day exercise, regular attention, or a cozy place to nap, I’ll be there to make sure their routine is cared for. Your dog’s safety and comfort come first. Raffles and Biscuit (my pups) are well-socialized and happy to welcome new friends. While I don’t have a fenced yard, I make sure dogs get plenty of exercise with walks and park outings (with your approval). I’m comfortable with crates, senior care, and special routines, so your pup’s unique needs will always be respected. I treat every dog like my own, and you’ll always get updates, photos, and peace of mind while your pup is with me.
About: I have had a dog ever since I was born, and am now 24 years old! I helped train my newest dog, so I have a lot of experience in puppy training. My last dog unfortunately had to have her leg amputated when she got older, so I also have experience with disabled dogs. I have also volunteered at an animal shelter for years, so I am good with all kinds of dogs- big and small, anxious and energetic, etc. Whenever one of my friends is out of town, I am their go-to pet sitter. I pet sit for a lot of my friend’s cats, so while I’ve never had one, I know how to take care of them. My dog, Rosie, is my entire world, so I know how important your pets are to you! I will treat them as if they are my own :). I do have a full-time job, but it is very flexible. I am able to leave during the day if needed for your pet! My nights are always free too, so I am able to house-sit. Your pet will be my #1 priority in my routine! I will keep your pet safe with my life! I will ensure they are on a leash when outside and make sure they are comfortable and getting their exercise in. Inside, I love to play with them! I will ensure no doors are left open so they can’t slip outside to maintain their safety. But I will make sure they are having fun while inside!
About: I have had puppies and dogs in my life for the last 32 years. My life would not be complete without them. Currently I have a treeing walker coon hound who is full of energy. My lab just recently passed away. She was almost 13 years old. Being able to help people out by making sure their dogs or cats are loved and exercised would be so rewarding for me. I’m a nurse who works part time two days a week. I’m looking forward to filling the rest of my week with pet care appointments. I will respect your home and privacy and be sure and agree upon set instructions before entering and leaving. I will effectively communicate prior to and after each visit.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Lake Darby. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
