About: Hi there! I'm Kristy, a lifelong dog lover with a passion for furry friends and I would love the opportunity to assist you with your dog walking and care needs. What sets me apart? I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to beloved seniors. I'm familiar with different sizes and breeds, and know how to use harnesses if needed to ensure a comfortable and safe walk. I’m active and love running with dogs who need that extra burst of energy. Dogs can sense good people, and I'm one of them – trust me to treat your pet like my own. I'm pretty flexible and can accommodate most schedules. Whether you need early morning walks, or midday drop-ins, I can work with your availability. Just let me know what times work best for you and your dog! When caring for pets in my home: I provide a safe, pet-friendly environment with plenty of space to play and relax. Dogs will have supervised indoor and outdoor time, ensuring they get both exercise and rest. I maintain a clean and comfortable space, with access to fresh water and cozy resting areas. Meals and treats are given according to your dog's specific dietary needs and schedule. I offer plenty of affection, playtime, and attention to make your dog feel at home. When caring for pets in your home: I follow your routines and guidelines to ensure your dog feels comfortable and secure. Walks, playtime, and feeding are done according to your schedule and preferences. I ensure your home is respected and kept tidy while I'm there. I provide updates and photos to keep you informed and reassured about your pet’s well-being. I handle various needs, from administering medication to special care for puppies and seniors.

About: With 20 years of experience caring for both dogs and cats, I understand pets at every stage of life—from playful puppies to senior companions. I'm attentive to each pet’s unique needs, whether it’s administering medication, keeping up with a high-energy pup, or providing a calm, comforting presence for anxious or older pets. I also have two cats of my own, so I know how to earn the trust of even the most independent pets. I treat every animal like my own—with patience, respect, and love. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life—I already care for my own two cats and have built my schedule around providing consistent, loving attention. Whether it's morning feedings, midday playtime, or evening check-ins, I make time for each pet’s routine. I treat every visit as more than a task—it's a chance to connect, comfort, and care. In my clients’ homes, I follow each pet’s routine closely to keep them comfortable and stress-free—whether it’s feeding, playtime, meds, or litter duty. I respect your space, keep things clean, and send regular updates so you always know your pet is happy and well cared for. I aim to make each visit feel like you never left!

About: HI! My name is Sydnee and I would love to be all your dogs BARK about. I attended the Veterinary Science Program at Miami Valley Career Technology Center for two years. I specialized on enrichment and the care taking of the animals in the classroom daily.(both furry AND scaly!) My experience with dogs is extensive, I love volunteering at the Animal Shelter that is close to home. I have specialized with horses, pigs, goats and a wide variety of many more, and they all have pushed me to be the best person I possibly can be. Animals, especially dogs have been been my favorite "best friends" for as long as I can remember. I will make sure to fulfill all of your furry friends needs, without a problem.! I'll keep your dog walking, to keep his tail wagging. :) Happy Paws are Happy Owners.! Thank You! I would LOVE to hear back! -Sydnee :) I am currently working Sunday, Monday, Tuesday & Thursday! Let me know if that schedule works for you! I am willing to do anything to make sure your babies are looked after! :) I have 5 cute and cuddly cats and 2 crazy doggos. I am always making sure they are safe and sound! I will be sure to look after yours as if it were my own!

About: I've had pets my whole life, being able to care for a variety of dog breeds/types. During my time at Wittenberg University, I fostered and cared for a service dog in training, raising the puppy from birth to trying to complete the program. This included grooming, cooperative care, daily care, socialization, and training. I also dogsat for others in the program regularly - providing weekly and overnight care which included grooming, feeding, walking, and socialization. I am currently unemployed, being able to provide care for your dog 24/7. Dog care is imbedded into my routine with my Golden Retriever - so adding a new furbaby will be second nature! I have a large backyard that will be getting fenced soon. We also have a friendly golden retriever who loves ALL dogs! We have a crate in our home that isn't used by our dog, so we are able to house overnight.

“Sarah was very sweet and on time for our visits. She was too busy with her personal schedule to keep all of our appointments so I had to end up asking my neighbor’s son for help a few times but overall she was excellent. I think she just lived a little too far away from me and 4 walks a day was too much to ask. I had serious arm surgery and had no ability to walk a very strong Irish Setter Puppy. I would recommend Sarah. She’s always on time and tried as hard as she could. Thank you Sarah.”

About: Started working with dogs when I was in my early twenties. I stated out as a dog bather and pet care at Petsmart. I then started spending my free time at Sunrise Sanctuary taking care of their rescued livestock. The job that taught me so much was being a dog warden. I learned how to handle emergency calls but also took care of the dogs at the shelter. I work a fun and open schedule so I have more flexibility on dog or cat sitting time frame. My dogs wake me up bright and early at 5am and going to bed around 10pm. So I’m able to check in on dogs within that big time frame. I have a 6 foot wooden privacy fence that I will allow my dogs to go outside in for potty breaks to the dogs playing in the puppy pool. Dogs will not unattended while in the yard.

“Emma was amazing with my dog, Ollie! She was prompt, sweet, and took care of him well. I’ll definitely have her walk Ollie again.”

About: I have dog sat for many of my neighbors, friends, and family members all through high school and college. I would often be their first choice, as I am very trusted with their furry family members! Also, I have fostered 10 week old puppies, 3 month old puppies, and many more. I also have experience with reactive dogs, as my own is one. I am a recent college graduate, looking to make some extra money and what better to incorporate my love of animals! I work a part-time job so walking would have to be in the evenings or on my off days, but I can pet sit whenever! On the days that I work however, I am gone for 8+ hrs. I am well rounded in what I can do. All of my dogs have been crate trained so I am experienced in that and I’m also used to being around puppies with my fostering experiences. Also, with drop-in visits, I’m experienced in meeting new dogs and approaching them correctly.

This leaves my schedule very open, and I am able to be very flexible with providing pet care. I have full and complete respect for clients property and homes.
