Dog Walking in Massillon

“I was in town for a family funeral, and Emily came in clutch! She was so responsive and accommodating. Most importantly, she was wonderful with my pups. I am incredibly grateful to have met Emily. I will totally trust her with my guys when I am back in town. Thank you, Emily!”

About: I am Fear Free certified, CPR and First Aid certified, and I am a previous doggie daycare worker that has had at least 2 dogs in my home at all times since I was born! I have a super sweet Lab Shepard mix named Comet, and a pittie named Daisy! I have been trained on doggie social cues and behaviors using Pack pro and fear free and like to say I “speak dog”. I am happy to accommodate for your furry friend in any way you need! I’m happy to give them all the love and treats, as well as take them on walks! The most important thing in my life is dogs. I’m that friend that points out dogs in public and always talks to doggies when I can! I work part time currently, so I am happy to snag a visit with your furry friend when I can! I love to make time for pups. I can not do care in my home, but I am happy to stay with your pet! I believe strongly in approaching pets in a calm and careful fear free manner.

About: Through high school I work at an animal health store. I’ve also lived on a farm since a young age, in addition I have cared for my familles exotic petting zoo through my teens! While caring for some pretty cool animals species I’ve always loved dogs the most, and have loved every single one I’ve met! I work full time Monday-Friday in the afternoons between 2:30-10:30 p.m. I have lots of relatives near me that can let your furry friend out while I am away! My mornings are usually spent home, or spending time walking or running on trails! I have a large fenced in back yard and 1 very friendly mini poodle named Sandy to keep yours company! I can easily crate her if needed

About: I have owned pets my whole life. I have been pet sitting for friends and family since I was around 14 years old. I have senior pet sitting experience including blindness and medications, I also have some dog training experience. I am a full time pet sitter on Rover. Your pet will be my main priority. I am very flexible on times, so I can check on your pet and take care of them throughout the day. I have plenty experience taking care of other peoples fur babies in their own home. I have been house sitting for around 8 years and have worked with all types of dogs and cats.

About: I have had a special companion by my side since I was 5 years old. I cannot imagine living life without a dog by my side. I just left my job of 23 years at Aultman Hospital to pursue what makes me happy inside, and that is working with animals. I am currently enrolled in a holistic canine massage therapy course and am learning techniques to help dogs with injuries, arthritis and joint pain. I will treat your pets like I would treat my own and respect your privacy and property while caring for your fur babies. Please email me with any questions you may have. Thanks so much for visiting my profile. I am currently available to watch your pups full time on Sundays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturday. On Mondays Wednesdays and Fridays I work from 8:30 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. I would need to leave your pets alone in my home on those 3 days of the week. Please message me with any questions you may have. Thank you! I have a boxer named Buefferd, I adopted him from the dog pound in 2015. We jokingly call him King Tut in our house because he rules the roost in our home. Buefferd is super spoiled and enjoys his day's leisure. :) ***UPDATE*** Buefferd recently passed away at the end of August 2024. We are dearly missing his presence. I can now watch your pets for overnight stays at my home in Perry township. We have a doggie door with a small fenced-in area if your pet is used to this accomodation. If not, I will gladly chaperone your pet on a leash in our large back yard.

About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was old enough to drive. I grew up with a house full of animals and have rescued several animals. I work evenings (two days from home, two days on-site in Akron) and have flexible days to allow for daytime walks or drop-ins and overnight stays. I do my best to communicate with the client to form a plan to best suit every pet and ensure the situation is as low-stress and high-fun for all involved!

About: I have been dog-sitting since I was 13 years old. I have experience with young and old and everything in between, as well as dogs with anxiety. I also have experience with providing medication to dogs. I like to stay in communication with the families while they are away and send lots of pictures/updates, because I know it's stressful being away from their babies. I am a full-time graduate student, so I spend most of my free time studying. I don't currently have any pets with me, so I decided to sign up for Rover to fill some of my time with animals and help care for them! This is a perfect side gig for me as it allows me to study while I hang out with your pets and take study breaks to play with them and take walks! I will not be able to care for pets in my own home, as my apartment does not allow pets. In my client's home, I always make sure I know where everything is for the pet(s) and have all the contact information I need should anything happen while you are away. I like to keep my own apartment tidy, so I ensure that I do the same in other people's homes and I will clean up after myself and the pet(s).

About: I been working with cats and dogs for 5 years. I am currently a kennel tech and a house cleaner. And I’m an experienced Dog bather! I work a full at a kennel Thursday through Sunday 5-9pm, also a house cleaner in the mornings but that schedule is not always the same so I can always add someone to my schedule as long as I can make it to my kennel job! I live in an apartment and only have 2 cats but I clean their litter box everyday and feed them twice a day. For your pets I will follow the schedule you tell me, I always feed dogs first before letting outside to go potty, that’s cause it helps prevents them accidentally going potty on the carpet.

“Darla did a great job with my young dog. He had never been cared for by anyone but me, so I was anxious. Darla did a great job with him. When I returned home at the end of the day, he was calm and you could tell he had a good day. I was thankful Darla was able to care for him and he seemed to have had a good experience.”

About: I’ve taken care of every kind of breed since I was 15. I have experience with all sizes and ages and have no issues with large breeds, senior, or medically special pets. Family and friends have relied on me to watch and groom their pets. I believe every pet should have a voice, no matter what. If your dog has anxiety or trouble with trust, I will patiently work with them to ease any tensions. I am CPR and first aid certified for pets. I am also trained in giving intramuscular medical administrations. I make it my top priority to insure that your pets needs are met. You can rest assured that your furry loved ones are in good hands. Pet care is currently my full time job, so I have plenty of time to spend with your pets whether that’s cuddling, playing, or going on walks! Your pet will enjoy all of the enrichment that I am able to provide, whether it’s playing with toys at home or driving them to the nearest trail/dog park to walk and play. I provide love, patience and quality care! I offer daily updates per your requests!

About: I’ve had two dogs since the age of 3 that are still my best friends. I took on the responsibility of taking care of them at 10. I also work in the pet care department of Petsmart so I know how to care for almost any animal! I do well with snakes, Guinea pigs, hamsters, you name it, I’ve probably cared for it. I worked at Petsmart for a 1.5 years. I did dog grooming and worked in the animal department. I was able to care for animals everyday. I learned how to care for many small animals, reptiles, fish, and birds since working there and have done my own research outside of the job. I currently own one cat who is the light of my life. My family recently adopted a Great Dane, Rottie mix who has become my best friend. I currently live in a renovated duplex, so i unfortunately don’t have a yard for big dogs, but I don’t mind traveling! I love to take dogs for a brisk walk, get their energy out before you come home! I am close to many walking paths and don’t mind traveling for animals. I will make sure any and all directions left behind are followed. Animals are watched closely when needed and fed on time.

About: My experience includes taking care of pets for close family and friends since age 16. I am now 30 and have four healthy, happy, and playful boys of my own. I would love to drop in and check on your pets or go on fun walks! In my professional career, I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with a Master’s Degree. I love going on walks and runs, and would love to help make sure your pet gets their exercise! I make my own schedule as a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, and I have some weekday availability if I do not have clients scheduled! Even with clients scheduled, I have breaks throughout the day where I could find time to check in on your pets! If I do work, I have morning availability where I could take your pets on a nice morning walk! I always adhere to safety precautions when caring for my own pets. Whether it comes to walks, mealtime, potty breaks, etc., safety is so important!

About: I'm a very reliable, caring, and responsible dog lover! I have been pet sitting for friends and family for around 12 years (big and little dogs, high anxiety, nervous dogs, dogs with medical needs, dietary needs). I don’t own any animals currently and would take care of your pet like my own. I enjoy going on walks, going to dog parks, playing fetch, tug, playing with mind/strategy toys, and giving healthy treats to help train a certain trick or correct a behavior. I enjoy playing one on one with dogs, or several dogs at once. I look forward to working with you to accommodate any requests to make you and your pet/s comfortable. Dogs are part of a family and I hope you chose me to be part of their lives! I currently set my own work schedule, so I'm very flexible with what you and your pets needs are! I will follow your instructions so your pet is comfortable with their regular process of how they do things. I'm looking forward to working with you and hanging out with your lovely pets!! I am able to follow any instructions needed for your pets. I want them to be comfortable in their regular routine, especially with a new person taking care of them! Their comfort and the owners comfort are very important to me.

“Alicia did an amazing job walking our dogs almost daily. She gave them lots of attention and made sure they were tired out. She went out of her way to accommodate any special times or needs. I would highly recommend Alicia to anyone needing a dog walker. She’s great! Michele”

“Gina was great, managed to walk my stubborn dog even though he knew I was home and didn’t want to leave! She is always on time and friendly and has a real rapport with my dog!”

About: I take passion in taking care of dogs and cats of all kinds! I grew up surrounded by lots of pets! Neighbors, friends, and family rely on me to walk, feed, and take care of their pets for many years. I love meeting and getting to know each pet and their unique personality! I volunteered at a dog training center for many years while I was in high school/college. I took pride in helping and interacting with all the pups! I have 4 friendly dogs; one who is Canine Good Citizen certified that I enjoy taking into nursing homes and schools to support and uplift others! I work full-time on Rover during the summer so my schedule is fairly open throughout the week and weekends! I adjust accordingly and am always willing to change my schedule around when I am able! :) I have a fenced in back yard and 4 friendly dogs! I am willing to do whatever is best for your pet(s) so they feel relaxed and cared for in their environment.

About: I grew up on a homestead back in Arizona on the Navajo Reservation. That being said I'm used to be surrounded by many different kinds of animals. Traditional wise animals are very important to Navajos: in a way they are sacred to us. I did take a short class for agriculture my high school years. With all my years of growing up around animals, friends and family have always relied on me to take care of their animals when they want to travel, if they are going to be away for a day, whenever their baby needed extra care I was willing to help. I do work part time right now, my days off are never the same and I only get my schedule one week out. I will keep you updated here on rover. I have an apartment on the first floor and a lovely neighborhood. Just a walk away there is a park. I have no furniture in my apartment, only in the bedrooms. I have 3 roommates who stay there as well. They love animals as much as I do. Now for staying at another person's house I'm will to clean up any mess your baby makes, and follow exact instructions you will be leaving behind.

“Alex was amazing. She was the perfect person to deal with our older, anxious dog. Alex was able to get him to walk for her and knew how to deal with his anxiety. She was flexible, understanding, and considerate. We will definitely call on Alex again!”

“I’ve booked with Jess a few times now and will continue to book with her in the future! She does a great job!”

About: I have had some pet or another since I was born. I have raised cats and dogs and other wet things. I am ready to spread the love and compassion I have for other living beings I have a flexible schedule since I have recently retired. I take my dog walking in all kinds of weather and can do that for your pet too. My dog Millie is very loving and can’t wait to meet new people and their furry family. We have a large yard and a safe neighborhood and can take long walks. I like to have good care information about your pet so that you can feel confident and comfortable that your furry one will be healthy and happy when you cannot be there.
