Dog Walking Lima Center

“Chad was great. My dogs were so happy when I got home. He went the extra mile for them by brushing, spending extra time and walking them thoroughly. He is reliable, timely and kept giving me updates. I will use him every time if he is available. I got his name from a friend. He is a great fit for my dogs.”

About: Our family has had many pets over the past 45 years; horses, goats, chickens, rabbits, cats, and dogs. My love and care for animals is abundant! I’m retired, flexible, and available 7 days a week during the day or evening. I also may be available on holidays depending on family plans. I would care for your pet in your home according to your detailed instructions. The safety of your pet and developing a trusting relationship with you pet are both very important to me.

“Alyssa and Vince were wonderful to walk my girls for me for most of the summer. They were always very willing to work with me when my schedule changed and could not have been more flexible and helpful. It was wonderful getting pictures of their daily walks, so that I could see how happy they were on the midday break! I would definitely call on them again!”

“Betsy was very reliable as well as roll with the punches. Our dog didn't eat her breakfast so Betsy allow her to eat before walking. Se sent us pictures while we are away. I would highly recommend.”

About: I have owned two dogs as pets. One lived to be 17. My dogs I have owned were both spunkie and lots of fun! I also worked in Illinois for a local dog walking/sitter company. I would walk my dogs for 20 I do walks in all kinds of weather. I had 2-4 dogs a week. Frankie a male dog and Ginger an older arthritic dog; they were my regulars. I would end every visit with petting and a treat. I really love my dogs and took very good care of them. Every visit ends with a text to the owner including a cute photo and information on whether the dog peed and pooped. I also volunteer at the Huron Velley Humane Society. My son has had all kinds of animals so if you have a bearded dragon or hamster I am familiar with many different pets. I love the flexibility. I enjoy getting outdoors and I love animals. This is a great combo for me. I’m recently stopped working this will a great way to fill my days. My dog gets a lot of love. I believe the best part of dogs is they are simple they just need attention and love. The last two dogs I had I gave lots of petting and hugs. Dogs also need stimulation whether it be playing fetch or using a Kong or some other activity an owner may have I like to incorporate that into my visit.

“Chelsea is unbeatable! It means the world to be able to count on her when I can’t be there for my pups.”

About: I’ve been caring for loving animals since I was 11, and over the years, family, friends and neighbors have trusted me to feed, walk and look after their pets with consistent compassion, patience, and genuine affection. I’m currently working part-time so I’m home throughout the week. I’m available to pet sit, dog walk or provide a midday potty break. Mostly during the week however my schedule is flexible. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routines closely, provide gentle companionship, keep their environment clean and comfortable, and make sure they feel safe, loved, and stress-free while their family is away.

“Mary is very professional, flexible and good with our dog Boone. She is able to walk him even though he is a big boy who likes to pull on his leash, which shows she is strong enough to walk big dogs with behavior issues. Very happy with her as our walker and will be using her weekly!”

About: Since the summer after my freshman year of high school, I’ve provided dog-walking, boarding, and house sitting services to neighbors in my small town. It’s something I’ve really enjoyed, so I’ve decided to carry that passion with me into college. I’ve worked with all kinds of dogs, from energetic puppies to seniors, and I’ve had dogs my entire life, which has given me a lot of experience and confidence in caring for them! My dog, Ivy, has a chronic illness, so I am well versed with medication administration or special requests. I am currently an undergrad nursing student at UofM, so I know a thing or two about medication from that as well. Thank you so much for your interest — I look forward to spending time with your fur baby! I currently have a part time job for the summer, but otherwise keep my schedule free. I take care of my own dog everyday and provide lots of exercise and walks. I always make safety, trust, and a positive environment my top priorities when caring for pets. I’ve worked with dogs of all ages and temperaments, so I take the time to understand each dog’s individual needs and personality. I make sure they’re always secure on walks, use proper equipment, and stay aware of their surroundings to avoid any potential hazards.
