Dog Walkers in Lytle, OH

About: Hi, I’m Risa! I am a young professional who recently moved to the Dayton area. I have a 7-year-old Golden Retriever named Ellie. I consider dogs to be family and promise to treat yours as such! I have a flexible schedule and I am able to provide frequent potty breaks and/or walks. (In addition to lots of pets & love, of course!) I pride myself on being very reliable and giving you peace of mind. I will keep a close eye on your pup for the entirety of the visit and I will communicate with you about how each visit went.

“Mckinzey has been great with our pup Coco. She has been reliable, professional, and patient with Coco’s hesitation and vocalization surrounding people she doesn’t know.”

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, from a 15lbs mini golden to a 130lbs mastiff. I love taking long walks no matter the weather (as long the dog is comfortable!) and have experience with senior dogs who require a lot of love and attention, and sometimes lots of medication. If your pet had specific needs, I can certainly make sure they’re taken care of the best way they can be! I have similar experience with cats, caring for teething kittens and senior cats who need extra attention. I love cats, but I understand sometimes they take longer to warm up. I don’t mind just hanging around until they feel comfortable enough to come up to me themselves. My number one priority is making sure your pet is comfortable and cared for. I’m a full time college student who’s lived in the Dayton area my whole life, allowing me to watch pets in the area year round (I’m senior at the University of Dayton). I am back on campus now in a house, so I will be attending classes but I return home and have big gaps between each of them so I can give your pets the attention the need! The longest they would be alone would be 3 hours. I also have a wonderful roommate who is an animal lover too. If I’m not around for a bit, most of the time she is! Your pet will almost always have company in our home. I’m willing to stay with pets for as long as they need, whether that means overnight or just some company during the day. I’m patient with pets that are wary of strangers; I do what I can to respect their boundaries. I will always wait until they’re comfortable enough to come up to me. I have a dog at home who is very nervous around new people. Because she’s so big we have to be very careful of how we introduce her to people. She’s a high maintenance lady, that’s for sure! But she loves just having company, and I know that many pets just want to have someone to be around.

About: I am reliable, organized, and calm. I follow routines well and keep owners updated. I have experience with puppies. I support crate habits, potty training, and simple cues with patience and structure. I handle senior dogs with gentle care. I move at their pace and watch for changes in comfort. My background in sports gives me strong energy for active pets. My role in a big family shaped my sense of responsibility. I give each pet focused attention and a safe, steady environment. I am a senior in high school and play soccer. I am currently all online with my classes so I have lots of time to take care of your pets! I usually have soccer practice 3 times a week in the early evening. In a client’s home, I stick to their rules. I handle feeding, walks, litter or bathroom routines, and any comfort items the pet uses. I keep the home tidy and leave everything the way I found it. I prioritize safety, attention, and communication in both settings

“Kristin was fantastic! She walked our dog twice a day while we were out of town and I loved seeing the happy pup photos and getting updates.”

About: 5 years ago I fell in love with my dog Shiba Foxy, she is literally my best friend. I have trained her to be such a good family dog. With maybe a little to much begging for food, but we are not perfect! Other than that I have raised 4 kids and a cat! So what can go wrong? After a very busy life of working in the finance industry and being a district manager in the outside field, I took a step back and now work in a director position working from home. I find myself needing a bit more. I also love things that don't talk back, like kids. hehe. In my home we have a fully fenced in yard. Foxy in leashed in harnessed on walks at all times. It's important to abide by the guidelines that the customer wants you to follow, if they want their animals in a crate with food or treats then prefect. If they don't then that is what you follow.

“Teresa is a phenomenal dog walker! Quick to reply, very knowledgeable, and very easy to work with! She walks our dog weekly — and we (dog included) couldn’t be happier!”

About: I have taken care of my dogs and my neighbors dogs for years and I just love pets! Some of these dogs have had handicaps so I am also experienced in tedious pill/potty schedules, extra needed attention, physical therapy, epileptic care, manually expressed bladders, and more. I’m currently working as a part-time soccer coach and would love to do this in my free time! Wednesdays are the only days I have a decent time commitment as of now which is my practice from 5:30pm-830pm. I usually offer to stay in the Clients home or just have me continuously coming by, either way works for me. I try to give breakfast around 7 and let them out about every 2-3 hours depending on Client request. If I watched your pets for an extended period of time, Wednesday is the only day they would have to go about 3.5 hours without a bathroom break. Other than that I am able to keep it closer to 2 hours between bathroom breaks. Then I usually give dinner around 5:30 (unless requested different) , and let out two more times before bed.

About: I work at a doggy daycare and boarding facility! I have been working there for 2 years and am a shift lead. I also care for the neighbors dogs when needed. I am currently in school from 9-12 on weekdays. The only other thing on my schedule is my work which varies on days from 2-8 about three times a week. I have a large grass fenced in backyard to allow your dog/s to run around in. I can also spend as much time in your backyard or outside with your dog as you would like me to.

About: Hi! I have taken care of several special needs dogs over the years. I also have experience with cats! I am capable of giving meds and injections. I am a stay at home mom and available for most pet services during the day! Give me a shout and let’s chat about your pet! I am happy to care for your pet in your home and will leave it looking like I found it! I am happy to clean up any pet messes I may find.

About: I’m a caring and patient animal lover who truly enjoys spending time with pets. I treat every pet like family and focus on being dependable, professional, and fun. I’ve owned three dogs and a cat over the past 20 years so I understand that every pet has a unique personality. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while maintaining their normal routine. I work full-time but have availability in late afternoons to evening (3pm and later) Mon-Fri and all day Sat/Sun, for services like dog walking and drop-in visits for any type of pet. I’m happy to follow any special routines, administer medications as instructed, and send regular photo/text updates while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your pet and becoming a trusted part of your pet’s care routine! I work during the weekdays until late afternoon. I’m available most week nights and weekends. My kids are in college, so I’m looking for something enjoyable to do on the side. I would be able to care for your pet in your home when available or gladly come by to check on your pet or take them for a walk if needed.

“Abbi was a pleasure to meet. My mom can't walk her dog due to health reasons, so I looked in to hiring a dog walker. I'm glad I did! Not only is Abbi good with Bitty, she communicates well with my mom. I would definitely recommend her.”

About: I have been a long time pet owner. On Oct. 17, 2023 I lost my little dog Neil. He was 12 years old and meant the world to me. He was my faithful companion and travel partner. Before moving to Ohio in November 2023, I spent the past 3 years living in Mexico volunteering with a rescue organization which gave me an even broader insight into caring for animals. I apply that knowledge and care to other animals. I am a mother and grandmother to humans, but I love my pets like they are my children. You can expect the same love, care and treatment of your pets when I care for them. I have experience with dogs and cats ranging from puppies/kittens to seniors; pets requiring medical care to very active ones. I’m certain that I can care for your fur baby, too. I am a stay at home grandma that has free time during the day making me available for drop-in checks, play dates and walks with your pet. Visits after 4pm can be arranged with advance notice. My time is my own, making it easy to care for your pet in their own home, be it for a day or for the length of your vacation. I will care for your pet at your home according to your specific instructions. I ask that pets be up to date on all vaccinations. Any food or treats that you would like your pet to have should be provided by you. I do not provide those due to the potential risk of allergies and/or special dietary restrictions your pet may have.

About: I’ve cared for pets my entire life and understand how important it is for them to feel safe and comfortable in a new environment. I provide care in a calm, home-based setting and intentionally limit care to one or two families at a time, allowing each dog personal attention rather than a crowded environment. With a fully fenced yard and a focus on routine, comfort, and supervision, I tailor my care to each dog’s individual needs and personality so they feel at ease while you’re away. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. Dogs get regular potty breaks, meals, playtime, and attention throughout the day, with care tailored to match their normal schedule as closely as possible. I have a fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor time, and I limit the number of pets I accept so each one gets plenty of personal attention. I adjust care based on each pet’s needs, personality, and comfort level.

About: i’ve had dogs as long as i can remember. i currently have a pit/boxer and a GSD. training the gsd to be my service dog. i am excited to work with you and your four legged family member(s). dogs are family to me. weekend workers i am here for you. late evenings may be arranged as well. drop in visits and/or walks will be around your neighborhood unless i notify you or you request in advance for a certain location you prefer. i will also carry treats with me. let me know if there are treats your dog is allergic to.

About: My parents say I loved animals before people :) My first job was cleaning kennels and caring for boarding animals over 2 decades ago. I look forward to meeting and caring for your loved four-leggeds ❤️ I currently am working part time. With my son back in school, I'm looking to fill more of my time caring for your wonderful pets! We have 2 cats of our own and I foster dogs for sicsa. I also like to take adoptable dogs for the day and go for walks and give them extra love and exercise.

“Laurie has been Great! Very dependable and communicates very well with me on scheduling. Takes the stress away from me! Highly recommend her!”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my personalized, compassionate approach and strong attention to detail. I’m patient, reliable, and always focused on keeping pets safe, comfortable, and happy while maintaining their regular routines. Available mostly anytime. Only conflicts in the schedule revolve around my children’s school or sport events. Willing to work long term for vacations and people who travel for work. I have owner may dogs throughout my life and know the importance of care and exercise for them. We live in a large house to provide ample space for your furry friend.

About: I have spent the past 5 years taking care of my own golden retriever and loved every minute. Over the past 20 years I have dog sat and dog walked multiple of my moms friends fur babies and my own friends. Just here to make it easy not just for you but also your pet! I am currently a college student with way too much free time on my hands. Therefore, fitting your pets care into my schedule for the day/ week will be doggone easy House sitting/dog sitting: I know with my Golden Retriever, play time and exercise is an important part of the day for them. I take dogs for about about a mile walk depending on weather and make sure they have ample time to also play and be a dog. Offering to vacuum the dog hair up especially on big shedders ( trust me I get it) it can be a lot sometimes. If errands need ran for personal reasons, I will make sure I'm not gone too long! Walking: Depending on dog size/ weather will walk anything from half a mile -2 miles. Will always make sure dog has water on walk and after!

“Holly and Meg are THE BEST! We are so lucky to have found them. They take very good care of our pet. They are top notch with animals. Extremely caring and loving. We are so lucky to have them.”
