Dog Walking Lockbourne

About: I’ve had dogs all my life. Raised from a puppy to senior and believe they are wonderful blessings to everyone. My personal pets have been pugs, English bulldogs, dachshunds, rottweilers, pit bulls, and many more growing up. I enjoy getting to know each dog or cat’s need and have them enjoy their time with me. My goal is to make your dog or cat feel comfortable when you are away from home. I work remotely and letting your dog out often is never an issue. If I’m out on Saturday or Sunday it’ll only be for an hour or two. We will take breaks often to let your dog feel comfortable. When I am caring for your pet in your home, I want to know their preferences and what makes them the most comfortable while you are away. If they have a special blanket or toy, please let me know so they can have something to keep them happy while I’m there. I also want to know what makes you as the pet parent most at ease. Help me support you and your pet.

About: Hi! My name is Emily, I have 6 years experience in professional pet sitting and dog walking. Looking to expand and meet more pets and parents! Experience • Veterinary assistant background in general practice and urgent care • professional insured business experience since 2020; providing pet care full-time since 2024 • Currently enrolled in an online veterinary technician program Fear Free Certifications • Level 2 — Dogs & Cats • Avian • Equine Specialty I specialize in providing services for fearful, anxious, and reactive pets. All pets are welcome, with care tailored to their comfort, personality, and routine! I have been providing full-time services since 2024 while pursuing my veterinary technician degree online. My online coursework allows me to plan my studies around scheduled pet care appointments. I’m joining Rover as an additional way to reach local pet owners and expand my established clientele. As a full-time pet care provider, I schedule visits around your pet’s usual care times to keep their routine consistent, with each visit dedicated to their needs. I follow your feeding, exercise, medication, and home security instructions, use a patient, Fear Free approach, and keep you updated with photos and any concerns.

About: With eight years of experience caring for pets, I bring a thoughtful, patient approach to every visit. I have a background in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), which has given me a solid foundation in reading behavior and using reinforcement to praise desirable behavior. While my professional ABA experience is with humans, I've found that it translates well with my own cat and other animals I've been responsible for. My schedule is completely open, so I can easily work around your pet's routine! Early mornings, late nights, or anytime in between - whenever they need me. While in your home, I try to stick closely to your pet's typical routine and treat your home with care, keeping it clean and tidy so it feels untouched while you're away. I'll also send regular updates to keep you connected and informed. I'm always mindful of safety throughout every visit. I watch for hazards, double-check leashes before walks, and carefully research any medications to ensure they're given correctly and on schedule.

About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember, both personally and professionally! I spent nine years working as a veterinary technician, in addition to completing three years of veterinary technician education. That experience gave me extensive knowledge of animal behavior, health, and handling, as well as a genuine appreciation for the unique personalities and needs of every pet. I'm comfortable caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, including senior pets, anxious or fearful animals, and those with special medical needs. I have experience administering oral, topical, and injectable medications, and my veterinary background allows me to recognize subtle changes in behavior or health that might otherwise go unnoticed. I understand that trusting someone else to care for your pets can be stressful. Whether I'm stopping by to feed your cat, taking your dog for a walk, administering medication, or simply spending some quality time with your furry family member, I'll treat them with the same patience, compassion, and attention I'd want someone to give my own pets. I believe that every animal deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and understood. I take the time to get to know each pet's individual personality, routine, and preferences rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach to their care. You can also expect reliable communication and updates, including photos, so you can feel confident that your pets are happy, safe, and well cared for while you're away. I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged family members! Pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine! As a pet parent myself, I'm accustomed to planning my day around feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and making sure my own dog gets the attention and care he needs. I currently have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to caring for other people's pets. I'm available for both occasional visits and recurring bookings, whether you need someone to walk your dog while you're at work, check in on your cat while you're out of town, or provide extra attention and companionship during the day. I understand how important consistency and reliability are when it comes to pet care, and I make it a priority to arrive on time, follow established routines, and give each pet my full attention during our time together. My goal is to make scheduling pet care as convenient and stress-free as possible for you! I offer dog walking and drop-in visits in your home, where your pets can remain comfortable in their familiar environment and maintain their usual routines. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I tailor my care to their individual personality, preferences, and any instructions you provide. During drop-in visits, I can provide feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, litter box cleaning, medication administration, playtime, and plenty of affection (for pets who enjoy it!). I also make sure to check on your pet's overall well-being and keep an eye out for any changes in behavior, appetite, or physical condition. For dog walks, I prioritize safety while making sure your dog gets the exercise, enrichment, and opportunity to explore that they need. I'll always follow your instructions regarding leash handling, interactions with other animals, and any physical limitations or behavioral concerns. With nine years of veterinary technician experience, I'm comfortable caring for pets with a wide range of medical and behavioral needs. I take the time to build trust, especially with animals who may be nervous around unfamiliar people, and I never force interactions with a pet who needs space. I treat your home with the same respect I give your pets, making sure doors and gates are secured, everything is left tidy, and your pet is safe and comfortable before I leave. You'll also receive updates and photos after each visit, so you can feel confident knowing your furry family member is in good hands!

About: I’ve taken care of my family and friends animals and everyday it just makes me happy to be around them and giving them some love I currently have a job now but when I come home and then I give them food/ water and give them a walk when needed. I have a fenced in yard for them to play in and whenever I take them on a walk I put a leash on them.

“After 2 walks with Mallory, I'm pleased. Jimmy knew what she was here for the second walk. He's tired after, which is what I wanted. I added a pic of him sleeping tonight (1 1/2hrs) after his walk. His eyes are rolled back in his head, and snoring. Mallory is very kind and obviously loves animals. I'm so grateful to have found a great match. Excited to see Jimmy be more active.”

About: I have experience caring for pets with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and providing plenty of love, attention, and companionship. I work full time at the moment but I am looking to do this full time so that I can go to dental assisting school. I myself have a fenced in yard, but I am comfortable with non yard homes, walking dogs, going to a dog park, groomers, providing medicine and cuddles.

About: I’ve taken care of all sorts of animals since I could remember. Been around Great Danes to yorkies and love them all. I also have a cat and dog of my own both I’ve rescue and adore. I’ve also trained my dog, I’ve had her since she was 7 months old. I train with positive attitude and treats. I was relied on by family and friends to watch, walk and feed their pets. Occasionally would do some basic training to help keep up and of course cuddles. My pets are friendly with other animals, my dog gets excited when she gets to meet new friends and then goes about her business. I also have a crate for my dog if anything. I try to give the visiting pup a chance to sniff around first and get warmed up before I let my dog meet her. Allows both dogs to calm down and be relax by then.

About: I have experience in home health care for the elderly, often providing support that extends to their pets as well. My experience with pets have been primarily dog walking for clients, feeding, pet/home maintenance I’m currently making myself entirely open to this experience into pet care as to making this my career. I enjoy being connected more with present life, and I feel as taking care of animals would set me on that track. I offered care to pets by fulfilling their needs, wants, and offering companionship. I also intend on extending care to making the environment more hygienic for the pet.

“Anne has been great. She is always my go to when I’m in a pinch. The boys love her.”

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’ve had dogs my entire life, as well as 2 cats! I’ve watched and owned both very small dogs about 10 pounds, as well as 110 pound dogs. I love to go on walks, so I’ll make sure your dogs walk a nice far distance! I will play with your pets, feed them, walk them, let them out as often as needed, clean their litter box, and make sure they’re feeling loved. I truly love animals and I am grateful for the opportunity to spend time with them. I can also provide whatever special care your pet may need. I promise your pets will be in good hands! I work 9-5 during the week, so I am available for drop ins before 9 and after 5, as well as all day on Fridays (I work remote on Friday) and all day on the weekends. I have reliable transportation and I am incredibly responsible. I am available for overnight care as well throughout the entire week. I have had dogs and cats my entire life, but I do not currently have any of my own as a young adult. I love animals and miss my own family pets dearly, so this is a nice way to be around animals while helping take care of them! I am capable of providing whatever care for your pet that you might need!

About: I grew up caring for medium and large dogs, and for the past few years I’ve been a devoted cat dad. Friends often ask me to look after their pets because they know I’m dependable, patient, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I’m comfortable with a variety of pet personalities and routines, and I take pride in making dogs and cats feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for while their people are away. I am currently working part-time, so my schedule is flexible. I am generally available any day of the week and can accommodate most scheduling requests as long as I am given advanced notice. I focus on keeping pets comfortable by trying to follow their normal routines to the best of my ability. In your home, I make sure they get the right balance of attention, exercise, and quiet time. I handle feeding, walks, litter care, play time, and any special instructions with care and consistency. I always check in with updates so you know how your pets are doing, and I aim to create a calm, safe environment where dogs and cats feel relaxed while you’re away.
