Dog Walking Mount Holly

“Excellent dog walker. Responsive, reliable and flexible.”

Daniel S.

About: I've been caring for dogs for over 12 years and currently have two dogs of my own. I understand how important routines, exercise, and attention are for every pet. Whether it's a drop-in visit or a walk, I treat every dog like one of my own. I provide fresh water, feeding, potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and plenty of affection while following your pet's normal routine. You'll also receive updates and photos during every visit so you always know how your pet is doing. Caring for dogs is part of my everyday life. I care for my own two dogs daily and have the flexibility to provide dependable drop-in visits and walks. I keep my calendar up to date and communicate promptly so you know exactly when your pet is being cared for. Your pet's safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, medications, walks, routines, and any special needs. I'll make sure doors and gates are secured, clean up after your pet, refresh food and water, and leave your home exactly as I found it. I treat every home and pet with the same care and respect I'd want for my own.

About: I’ve taken care of many types of animals! I’ve handled about every type of dog and cat. I can handle any personality of animal, from a lazy homebody that just wants to sleep all day, or ones that tend to be more on the edge and aggressive, or even the silly/energetic ones that just need your attention at all times! I'm currently working part time mainly on weekends (Friday-Sunday) and sometimes early mornings on Mondays and Wednesdays. My shifts are usually only 3 hours long. In your home I'll make sure your pet is properly crated (or not). I will make sure they go to the restroom when they need to or just take them outside for periods of time to hangout and have some fun. I'll feed them the time as told.

About: My last pet was a 16 year old miniature schnauzer who passed in December 2024. Since then I have been caring for dogs and cats of family & friends and traveling around the country using Trusted Housesitters. I have cared for German Shepherds and Bengal cats in New Orleans, an elderly dog in Charleston, and multiple rescue cats in Virgina Beach. In Denver, I covered a dog walking business for 3 weeks walking labs, collies, poodle mixes, dachshunds and house sitting up to 5 dogs at a time. Now when I'm back home in the Cincy area, I like to help others care for their dogs and cats. My schedule allows for me to change my routine as needed. I understand pets have routine and may need to be on a regular schedule. I can care for your pets in your home by following their routines, entertaining and playing with them, and giving them love and attention. I am not able to care for pets in my home at this time.

About: I grew up with dogs and cats, and have been a longtime animal sitter for friends and family ❤️ I LOVE walking and couch cuddles equally 🐶🐈 I also have experience as a long-term sitter (6 months). I am self-employed, working as a part-time consultant and content creator, so my schedule is flexible and I can usually be available any time between 6:30AM-9:30PM for walks/check-ins/feeding/potty breaks. I am extremely conscientious, and I care deeply about honoring the trust people give me when they ask me to take care of their pet and/or home. I have been trusted to stay in and take care of others’ homes multiple times—I treat others’ homes and pets with the same love and care that I would my own.

About: I worked at a boarding pet care store for over 2 years in high school. Where I took care of dogs of all ages and sizes as well as working up front where I gained tons of knowledge about animals. I currently have not much to do since I’m on winter break for college and have no other major responsibilities or vacations. I also can always stay the night if needed. I make sure that any pet feels safe and comfortable with me as well as ensure that they get the proper care and love they need while I’m with them.

About: I am a very passionate, attentive, and empathetic person when it comes to any and all animals! For many years I have taken sole care of both dogs and cats of all different breeds, and am well experienced in all general pet care to include special needs pets. All of the dogs I ever had as a kid were trained as puppies almost solely by myself and my brothers. My mom used to make me read books and do online research about the breed of dog we had, different training techniques, K9 first-aid, and so much more. Being as passionate as I am about animals, those studies were well retained, and while I don't have professional experience, the knowledge gained from doing it on my own with 9 different dogs over my lifetime have graced me with at the very least, an in depth knowledge of all different stages of dog ownership. This knowledge was also accentuated professionally as I worked alongside military police K9 handlers during my time in the Air Force. Not to worry though, I mix structure, routine, and discipline with plenty of tender loving care, and know how to tune my approach to dogs of all temperaments. In regards to puppies: I have experience potty training, leash training, crate training, and what I would call experienced but moderate obedience training skills. I know how to deal with things like food aggression, how to properly establish the "hierarchy" or "pack mentality" and other conditioning behaviors. As well as handling young puppies, I've even assisted a momma in giving birth to a new litter, and taking special care of a brand new litter of 7 pups! So my experience with all dogs truly does begin at birth and goes all the way to end of life care. For the old timers: The couch potatoes in our lives need just as much, and sometimes even more care than their energetic and young counterparts. I have experience with things like giving medication and shots, managing specialty diets, and a number of other age specific needs. I'm very patient and am willing to take the time to get to know your pet and what they need. Every animal has a different personality and needs attention in different ways, and I'm very attentive to that! I will always treat your pet as if they were my own, and will to the best of my ability make sure that your pet is well taken care of at all times. I'm a full-time nomad and side gigs are my primary source of income. Pet care IS my weekly routine. I'm available and more than happy to abide by the normal 9-5 schedule for daytime pet care, but I can also easily adjust to fit any alternate schedule; whether you need overnight pet care, or any other odd schedule constraints met, I am available. I have lived with my own dog in a variety of different conditions. From being on our own in both houses and apartments, to having a full house of dogs and cats. I am well versed in any additional responsibilities and special care based on living situations, and have no trouble go up and down a few flights of stairs for potty breaks/walks, etc.

About: I am a full time pharmacist with a unique overnight schedule. I love all animals so I am looking for some jobs on the side caring for animals. I grew up with dogs, cats, hamsters, chinchillas and parakeets. I work third shift 7 days on and 7 days off so I have a very flexible schedule to care for your pets. I can make any schedule work. I have a non social bulldog so I am able to care for a cat or dog in your own home and could care for a smaller caged animal in my own.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs, cats, and many other animals since I was 16! In my family’s neighborhood I have been housesitting and dog walking for many years! I have 3 cats of my own so I cant do much care in my home but I am more than happy to travel to you! I currently have a very flexible schedule because we have just moved back to cincinnati and am still in the search for the perfect job! If I am needed to go inside of your home I will treat it with respect and make sure to take care of any cleaning and/or putting things away. I care deeply about the safety of your pets and your home and will take care of them as my own. <3

“Jillian has been walking my quirky and sometimes shy greyhound regularly for a couple months now and she is the absolute best. On time, thorough, understanding, flexible, competent, communicative, knowledgeable. I don’t trust my dog to everyone, but I feel 10000% confident that she’s in good hands with Jillian on their walks!”

About: Hi there! I’m Steven - lifelong dog lover, experienced sitter and a pet parent of two sweet pups: a Bernese and a Chihuahua. I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone new, and my goal is to make every pup feel right at home and every owner complete at ease. With years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities, I have handled everything from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing extra attention. I’m patient and love learning each dog’s quirk and routines. I work from home most days, which means your dog will get plenty of attention throughout the day. On the days I am in the office (usually Tuesday and Wednesday) I can adjust my schedule as needed to fit your pet’s routine. I live in a safe, pet friendly community in Colerain with plenty of green spaces for walks. I also love taking dogs to parks for a change of scenery or staying cozy indoors for extra belly rubs! Safety always come first. All outdoor time is fully supervised and your pup will never be off leash unless in a safely enclosed area. I truly treat every dog as my own and want to make your time away stress free. Can’t wait to meet you and your furry best friend! My day pretty much revolves around dogs — and I wouldn’t have it any other way! Since I work from home most of the week, I’m able to keep a flexible schedule full of walks, playtime, and cuddles. My own pups keep me active and in a great routine, so adding another furry friend into the mix feels natural. Even on my in-office days, I make sure every dog gets the attention and consistency they’re used to. I care for every dog as if they were my own. At my home, pups are part of the family — they can lounge, play, and get lots of attention throughout the day. I make sure everyone feels comfortable and safe, and I always supervise outdoor time. When I’m watching pets in their own home, I do my best to keep everything just how they like it. I stick to their regular routine, give them lots of love, and keep you in the loop with updates and pictures so you never have to wonder how they’re doing.

About: I have extensive experience caring for dogs of all breeds, ages, and energy levels. From fun-filled walks and playtime to administering medications and providing attentive senior care, I tailor my approach to each dog’s unique needs. I’m also skilled in basic training and maintaining a clean, safe, and comfortable environment. My passion for keeping dogs happy and healthy ensures they feel loved and cared for while you’re away. Daily Routine:     1.    Morning Care:     •    Start the day with a morning potty break for Tootsie, followed by her breakfast. Puppies often have high energy in the morning, so I set aside 15-20 minutes for a walk or playtime to help her burn off energy.     •    This ensures she’s settled while I begin my workday.     2.    Midday Break:     •    Working from home allows me to schedule a midday potty break and a short walk. This keeps Tootsie active and gives me a mental break from work.     3.    Afternoon Engagement:     •    I incorporate short play sessions between tasks to provide Toots with mental stimulation, whether it’s a game of fetch, tug, or a puzzle toy.     •    These breaks are timed to coincide with natural pauses in my workflow, helping me stay refreshed and productive.     4.    Evening Care:     •    I dedicate time for a longer walk or play session to meet her exercise needs.     •    Dinner and another potty break follow, ensuring she’s relaxed for the evening.     5.    Winding Down:     •    We end the day with cuddle time and one last potty break before bed, maintaining her routine and comfort. Weekly Routine:     •    Training Sessions: I include short, 5-10 minute training sessions daily to reinforce good behaviors and teach new commands.     •    Socialization: On weekends, I take my dog to a park or pet-friendly area to expose her to new environments, people, and other dogs.     •    Grooming and Maintenance: Weekly brushing keeps her long coat healthy, and I check her nails and ears regularly to prevent any issues.     •    House Cleaning: I allocate time to clean her bedding, toys, and the areas where she spends time to maintain hygiene. Working from home makes it easier to integrate these tasks naturally into my day. It ensures Tootsie’s needs are met while allowing me to balance work responsibilities effectively. When caring for pets in either my own home or a client's home, I prioritize safety by ensuring a secure environment, following their specific care instructions diligently, closely monitoring their behavior, and always keeping their well-being at the forefront, including providing proper food, water, exercise, and access to designated bathroom areas, while fostering a trusting relationship through consistent routines and gentle interactions. Key aspects of pet care, depending on the service offered: Basic Needs: Feeding: Providing the correct amount of their prescribed food at scheduled times, ensuring fresh water is always available. Waste Management: Regularly cleaning litter boxes, taking dogs outside for bathroom breaks, and proper disposal of waste. Exercise: Engaging in appropriate physical activity based on the pet's breed and needs, such as walks, playtime, or interactive toys. Safety Measures: Secure Environment: Checking for potential hazards like open doors, toxic substances, and securing areas that could be dangerous for the pet. Leash Supervision: Always using a leash when walking dogs outdoors in public areas. Medication Administration: Following strict instructions for administering any prescribed medications. Trust Building: Positive Reinforcement: Using positive training techniques and rewards to build a positive relationship. Gentle Handling: Respecting the pet's boundaries and comfort level, avoiding forceful actions. Communication: Maintaining open communication with the client regarding any concerns or changes in the pet's behavior.

About: Growing up in a big family in a very populated area of Ohio, I have had plenty of experience with all shapes and sizes of dogs and cats. From newborn puppies and kittens, to senior dogs and cats, I have welcomed them all with open arms! I make sure the little guys/gals are always comfortable. Growing up in Cincinnati, I have made myself very familiar with many areas through my dog walks. I know multiple dog parks and trails throughout the city. I ensure, with me, your dogs are in amazing hands! I look forward to meeting you and your little friend(s)! I am currently working from home so I have 24/7 care for your dog. You will never have to worry about them feeling lonely. I ensure all my attention will be towards them. The more I know your daily schedule, the more I will accommodate to make them feel as if you’ve never even left. If you/your dog has any specific needs, I will be happy to accompany them. I have worked with many different types of animals and have multiple coping mechanisms.

About: Intrigued by “man’s best friend” since the tender age of 3; I engulfed my life with everlasting love and care for pets; for over 30 years! My experience includes: pet sitting for neighbors: cats and dogs; providing pet washing services; and volunteering at pet shelters. Playful pups are my specialty! I’ve previously sat with Yorkies, Dalmatians, German Shepards, French bulldogs, Goldendoodles, Pomeranians, and many more! I am currently available 24/7 for services. Feel free to contact me anytime with inquiries. Safety is my top priority! Pets are family! In my home, they are provided playful toys and loving interactions. Hourly walks with a harness collar; trailing into a field for wide range of motion; to soak in the sun are a must for my furry friends! For over night stays, they will be secured in an extra large crate starting at 11pm-5am with potty breaks and soothing music for pets.

About: I've had & taken care of cats & dogs since I was 7 years old! Over the past 5 years I've moved into caring for the pets of other's just as a favor to friends & family. Now I want to leave corporate America & care for furry family members professionally. I'm currently working on making pet sitting my full time job so my availability is completely open for around the clock care whether your pet is an early riser or a night owl! I prefer to care for pets in their own space as I have roommates at this time & our landlord doesn't allow pets on property.
