Dog Walking Minerva Park

“We couldn’t be happier with our dog walker! He took the time and patience to help our timid puppy feel comfortable and build trust, which means so much to us. We also love that he uses a clicker to reinforce training and support our pups’ progress. His communication is excellent, and the pictures he takes of our doggos are absolutely phenomenal! It’s clear he genuinely cares about our dogs, and we feel lucky to have found someone so thoughtful, patient, and dedicated. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve had pets my whole life. Dogs, cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, turtles, fish, etc! I currently have two cats — Bodhi and Mani — who I love more than words. (Don’t worry, they have an automatic pet feeder, water fountain, and interactive camera that I can talk to them through when I’m on house sitting stays!) I have experience with senior cats and how to administer medication to them to balance thyroid levels, manage diabetes, chemo, etc. I had a 16-year-old cat recently pass from Stage 4 Chronic Kidney Disorder, so I know how important hydration is for our feline friends. Especially of the male variety. **I respectfully ask that you do not ask me to accept payment off the app during our first Meet & Greet. I provide M&Gs free-of-cost to new clients. It sucks (and is a waste of time/money) when a potential client decides not go with me because I won’t “just take Venmo”. It’s important for me to establish a relationship with a family first through the app, for my own safety and guarantee of payment. Plus, Rover provides insurance for both parties using the fees they incur. Please keep this in mind if insurance is an issue for you. Thanks!! :)** I recently quit my 9-5 job to focus on pet sitting full time. I have no human children, so my time is very flexible! I currently don’t accept boarding requests. But when I’m in a clients home.. I am respectful of their belongings, which rooms are needed for access during each stay, security cameras/systems, bathrooms/showers, food (I bring my own unless you tell me to help myself, then I might eat your kids’ mac n cheese 😃), pet gates, incoming mail, outgoing trash, door and garage codes, etc.

“Ryan was awesome! He was very accommodating with my schedule changes, and Leo was soo happy when he came back from his walks. Will definitely book with him again in the future!”

“Andrea did an excellent job. This was out first meeting and Butter(my dog) had a fantastic time with her. She was on time and friendly with Butter and myself. I’ve already rebooked her to another walk and to take care of him while I’m traveling. Thanks Andrea!”

“She’s so patient with my shy pup at first. He warmed up quick & he was happy to hangout with her the next time!”

About: I currently manage a pet care boarding and daycare facility, so taking care of animals is a big part of my everyday life. I’ve worked with all kinds of animals, from energetic puppies who need structure and patience to senior pets who need a little extra attention and care. I’m comfortable giving medications (oral and diabetic injections), following detailed routines, and getting to know each pet’s individual personality. Working in pet care has taught me how important it is to pay attention to the little things. I’m used to noticing when a pet is acting differently, figuring out what they need, and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I also know how important communication is, so I like to keep owners updated with pictures and messages so they know how their pets are doing. Whether your pet needs a long walk, some extra playtime, meds, or just someone to hang out with them, I’m happy to give them the same patience and attention I’d want someone to give my own pets! :) I currently work at a pet care facility, so caring for animals is already part of my daily routine. Outside of my shifts, I’m available to provide pet sitting and drop-in visits, which allows me to stay flexible while continuing to do something I love. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all feeding, playtime, and medication instructions exactly as provided, and I make sure to give extra attention to their favorite spots and habits—whether that’s a window perch, a certain toy, or a bedtime routine. I keep the home tidy, refresh food and water regularly, and make sure the litter box (or yard for dogs) is clean and comfortable. I also provide updates and photos so owners feel connected while they’re away.

About: With over 15 caring for my childhood dog, and being a frequent cat sitter for friends look no further for your friendly neighborhood pet sitter! I am currently looking for weekend and afternoon jobs. Depending on your location, I may be able to stay overnight for services! Let’s chat to see what works for us both! As a Clinical Psychologist, I take pride in my job and apply my ethical code of conduct in and out of the therapy room. You and your pets will be in good hands!

About: Dogs are ALWAYS allowed on furniture. They will get tons of play time and if they are really active, they can go with me on some hikes! I work remotely so there will always be someone at home with them. Plenty of potty breaks and head scratches! Whatever they need, they will get! I work from home so someone will always be with them. There is a large park across the street that I will take them too if they need to get some energy out. They will be well taken care of!

About: I grew up with 4+ dogs at a time. I have had or taken care of all types of dog breeds. No longer having a dog of my own I am ready to love on your fur babies while you are away like they are my own! I currently work part time and have the mid day off, this is the perfect time to come walk and play with your pup! Most days I work a few hours in the morning and evening giving me flexibility to take care of your baby/babies! I currently live in an apartment but love to go for walks, my apartment also has a big fenced in dog area. If coming to your home im ready to play fetch, go for walks, and car for your fur baby!

“Ioana was a fantastic dog walker! She took excellent care of my dog while I was away for Christmas. She was very communicative during the whole process which greatly helped to reduce stress on my end. Her kindness and flexibility made my first experience with dog walking services a highly positive one! I cannot recommend her enough :)”

“Jamie is wonderful! We booked Jamie for a dog walking session with our family dog Willow. Before the scheduled walk, we arranged for a Meet and Greet. It’s obvious that Jamie loves dogs and other animals. For the dog walk, she provided us a full update on how Willow did and also sent us pictures. We were very pleased with Jamie’s level of care she took with Willow and will 100% book with Jamie in the future. Thank you Jamie!!”

About: Hi! My name is Sabrina and I’m a second year optometry student at The Ohio State University! My first job at 13 was taking care of my next door neighbor’s dog. She loved me so much that she referred me to a few other people within the neighborhood. They relied on me to walk, feed, give medications, among other responsibilities. I never had the opportunity to have my own furry friend, so I loved dedicating my time to helping others with theirs :) I’m a second year optometry student looking for an easy and fun way to make some extra money! My schedule for school keeps me pretty busy, but I do have time to fit in some pet sitting jobs! I love pets and love being active, so walking dogs definitely is within my ballpark (no pun intended). If your pet loves to have someone keeping them company I’m the same way!

“Kyra is super awesome, communicative and extremely knowledgeable of pups in general. She was great with Toby and would recommend her to any pup parent!”

About: I've lived with pets my whole life and have found a passion for caring for animals with the same love you have for them! I specialize in cats of all ages and dogs over the age of one. I've had about 5 years of experience in working with anxious dogs who are scared of everything - very used to taking a long time to grt scaredy dogs outside. With that, I'm very experienced in delivering medications or cleaning up messes. I understand how stressed our fur babies feel when we need to leave them and my main goal is to make them as comfortable as absolutely possible. I work full time Monday-Friday but do have some work from home days during the week. I would be more than happy to visit your home during the day for walks or quick take outs! I am also happy to come visit you and your fur babies at anytime to get a better idea of your schedule. I am working on getting Fear Free certified and would be more than happy to provide that certification once acquired. I would be happy to crate your pets if needed. I'll send plenty of photos and updates throughout my visit!

About: I have had dogs and cats my entire life, until the recent passing of my family dog. I am a graduate of The Ohio State University with a BS in Animal Sciences. I have worked at the Columbus Zoo, dog boarding facilities, and vet hospitals so I have a pretty good understanding of dog health and behavior. I am pretty low-key, so I try to be as calm and accommodating to all dog personality types. Whether you have a quiet senior or an excitable puppy, I can bend and mold to your doggo's needs! My services does not stop with just dogs, please ask me about your other lovable critters! I do work full time, so my services will primarily be available after 3:30 and on weekends. If my services are needed before 3:30pm, Please arrange them with me well ahead of time so that I can make the necessary changes in my FT work schedule to fulfill your needs! I am currently working full time Monday-Thursday, so I am available Fridays-Sundays. Depending on your location, I may be available for evening drop ins during the week after 530pm. If you are looking for Housesitting during the weekdays, I am able to take requests on a case-by-case basis. I have a cat of my own at home. Out of respect for both your pet and my own, I typically prefer coming to you and providing care for your pet in the comfort of their own home. Pets stress less when they are able to remain at home in a familiar space. I will treat your home respectfully and
