Dog Walking Northeast

“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.

“Miriam exceeded my expectations as first time user of the app. If everyone is as kind as she is, I may never return to doggie daycare! 12/10”

“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!”

“At the last minute I realized that everyone in our household would be working the full day away from home and our pup Joey would need someone to come take him out midday. I reached out to Maddie and she was able to accommodate, even with short notice. She was able to confirm and came and took Joey for a walk in the early afternoon. She gave a detailed summary of her time with Joey as well. I appreciate Maddie for the willingness to help on short notice and the care she gives Joey!”

“Jamie has been amazing! Lucky and Higgins love their walks with her. And I love getting updates with pictures about how they did during the walk. It is so great knowing that they are in good hands while I am at work.”

About: I’ve worked with animals of all sizes, from the smallest neonates to the largest of dogs! I am a college student studying biological sciences on a pre-med track. Outside of school, animals are my passion. I worked at a high volume emergency animal hospital for 3 years, and have previously worked in pet boarding & daycare! Each day, I dedicate time to feeding, walking, playing, and checking in on the pets in my care, ensuring they feel safe, stimulated, and loved. My routine is flexible and centered around their needs, whether that means early morning walks, midday playtime, or evening cuddles. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and nurturing environment tailored to each pet’s routine and personality. I keep things clean, stick to established routines, and provide regular updates with photos and notes. Whether it's feeding, administering medication, or giving extra belly rubs, I treat every pet like part of my family.

“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: Animals are my entire life, and also my eventual career! Over 10 years ago I started walking my neighbors dogs and fell in love with animal care. Since then, I have gained a ton of experience by working with all sorts of animals in my high school animal labs and farms, working in a small animal vet clinic, volunteering at shelters and ICUs, pet sitting for family friends, knowledge through my animal science courses, and much more. I love all types of animals, and I truly hope to provide the best of service to your family pets! I am currently a college student, but I have a lot of free time throughout the week and the weekends to provide my services. My best availability is from Fri-Sun, however I can still fit quality care throughout most of the week Every time I let your pet go outside, I always make sure to have them on a leash to keep control of them for everyone’s safety. In fenced in areas, I am always outside with them to supervise so they have someone to play with and make sure they are keeping out of trouble. I am very flexible in pet care and will do whatever it takes to cater to their needs

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!

“Patricia is absolutely wonderful! Always on time. Very patient. Great communicator—even sends photos of our guys with updates about the visits. They just love her! The peace of mind she provides is immeasurable.”

Robyn S.

“Thomas was fantastic and I definitely recommend him to anyone in the area. He took my dog Fluff on nice long walks throughout the neighborhood, giving him great exercise and time to sniff. They bonded very quickly, which is great given how nervous my dog can be :-)”

About: Growing up around pets, I know how much we all care about these family members so I want to help you feel your most comfortable and confident that your pet will get the best care while you’re gone! I’ve dealt with medically complex pets, both long-term and short, so I am not timid about making sure animals get their necessary care while also keeping their comfort level in mind. I’m comfortable with the spectrum of personality, from lazy bones to high energy and I am looking forward to helping you out! I have a flexible schedule thanks to my contract work with local theaters, so am always available mornings and afternoons. My evening schedule fluctuates depending I offer open communication, so I can update you as much or as little as you’d like! I know that dogs not having their person can be stressful sometimes, so I want to balance that with as much stability as I can provide. My household functions on a morning/evening feeding schedule, but I know every household is different so I’m ready to learn your house’s system!

About: Hi there! My name is Kira! I’ve worked at The Franklin County Dog Shelter, managed boarding facilities and doggy daycares, and I currently work at two Veterinary Emergency Hospitals. I’m comfortable with pets of all temperaments and energy levels — from shy or anxious babies to high-drive chaos gremlins. I have three dogs and three cats of my own, and a lot of my free time is spent training and finding ways to keep them mentally and physically fulfilled. I really love learning how each animal thinks and what makes things work best for everyone. I only accept bookings on days I know I’ll be fully available, so your pet isn’t just another stop in a packed schedule. I stick closely to your routines, can handle medications, and will always communicate clearly if anything seems off. I also love sending photo updates (probably too many), because I know how hard it can be to be away from them. My goal is simple: I want you to feel completely comfortable, and I want your pet to feel understood. I can’t wait to meet your crew! What you can expect when booking with me: • Reliable availability on reserved dates • photo + video updates (I love pet photography!) • Strict adherence to your pet’s routine • Clear communication • A sitter who knows what’s normal (and what’s not!) I only accept bookings on days I know I’ll be fully available, so your pet isn’t squeezed into a busy schedule. When I’m with them, I’m with them. During drop-ins and walks, I follow your routine closely, monitor for any changes in behavior or health, and make sure your pet feels comfortable in their own space. I’m experienced with administering medications and recognizing when something isn’t normal due to my background in veterinary emergency medicine. Your home will always be respected, secured, and left exactly as I found it.

About: I have always had a deep love for animals, especially dogs, and caring for them comes naturally to me. With years of hands-on experience pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors, I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and ages, from energetic puppies to gentle senior dogs who need extra patience and attention. I’m comfortable handling large breeds, small breeds, and everything in between, and I understand how their needs can vary depending on their size and stage of life. I’m attentive to feeding schedules, walks, medications, and of course plenty of playtime and affection. Pet sitting isn’t just a job to me, it’s something I genuinely enjoy and take pride in. Im currently attending online school and I have a very flexible schedule with plenty of time to walk, play with, and take care of your pets! I have a large fenced in yard and big house with a big kennel if needed. I have a very friendly cat and cavalier King Charles spaniel however they can easily be separated from your pet if required!

“Vanessa is such an incredible support. She thinks quick and stays in control. We have a reactive dog and she always provides a safe and supportive environment.”

“Ann is wonderful! She has a gift with dogs!”

About: I’ve been dog walking for almost 9 years. I love what I do. Working with dogs brightens my day. I walk a dog for 40 minutes and then play with them inside for 20. I look forward to meeting your pet and your family. I have been dog walking from 11:00AM-3:00PM Monday through Friday for years. I am really looking forward to adding a new family to my 2:00PM-3:00PM shift and a 9:30AM-10:30AM shift to my morning. When I am caring for a dog I always make sure they are on the leash while outside or in the house with the doors shut.

About: Not accepting new clients until January 2027. Current clients, my calendar is blocked but send through your dates as a request, and I’ll confirm our availability. We do not offer cat care in our home. We accept up to (2) dogs at a time. If you prefer your dog to board alone, a $35 fee can be added to block our calendar to other clients during your dates. I’ve always owned dogs, cats and horses! I’m now pet-less and looking to love yours occasionally! I’m use to large and small pets. We love going for walks! I work from home and own my own business so my schedule is pretty flexible to be available to care for and play with your pet! I have a large fenced in back yard. I do have a 9 year old daughter, so pet must be good with kids! I prefer pets who do not get on furniture but it’s not a deal breaker.

About: I am an animal lover and love lounging around and cuddling with the pets I’m watching! I had experience in college and post-grad training service dogs in training before they went to advanced training. As a handler I was responsible for basic training and teaching commands as well as socialization to any and all potential environments the service dog would need to be in - including schools, stores, restaurants, hospitals, and more. I have worked with 6 different service dogs, many of which have passed further training and are now working dogs who assist children with disabilities. I work Monday-Thursday in an office 10 minutes from my house and can stop by to let dogs out at lunch. And I love at least a daily walk! I live in one half of a duplex home with a small fully fenced-in yard and parks nearby for walks, my neighbor does not have any pets. Can bring my old roommate’s corgi over to play if they are playful!
