Dog Walkers in Novelty, OH

About: I have walked dogs ever since I was little. I have also always been trusted to dog sit and house sit for family and friends. I take caring for pets very seriously because they are my favorite too! I’m a recent college grad looking to provide pet care! I’m available pretty much any day of the week. I have a friendly dog and can take walks and play. I also am going into training so I might practice or work with any pets if possible! For now I just offer house sitting or drop in visits for walks or other needs. I love a good play time in or outdoors and go on walks.

About: Lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience. I’ve provided in-home sitting, cared for friends’ pets, and have owned dogs my entire life. You can count on me for reliable, loving care—just like they’re my own. Hi! I’m currently on paternity leave from my full-time job, where I typically travel Monday through Thursday. With a bit more time at home right now, I’m looking to make some extra income doing something I truly enjoy—caring for dogs. I’ve owned dogs all my life, have in-home pet sitting experience, and have helped friends care for their pets over the years. Your pup will be in safe, caring hands. I care for pets in their own home, where they feel most comfortable and secure. I always follow the owner’s instructions and routines to ensure consistency and peace of mind. I’ve worked with dogs that require extra attention, including those with medical needs or those who don’t do well around other animals. My goal is to build trust, provide dependable care, and keep your dog safe and happy while you’re away.

About: I've had dogs off and on my entire life but it wasn't until we adopted our baby girl Coco that I really fell in love. We had 13.5 wonderful years with her, then after she passed we decided to foster dogs in her honor and have been doing this since Sept. 2020 with several local organizations. We have fostered 25 dogs and have sat 26 dogs to date, including puppies, senior dogs, and dogs with behavioral and medical special needs. Our pricing reflects the peace of mind of knowing that your pet is well cared for and part of our family during their stay with us. Or for in house sitting, we are mature, reliable and trustworthy and treat your home like our own. We look forward to hearing from you! My husband and I are retired so we are very flexible in our schedule and decided we want to do something meaningful and enjoyable in our retirement. We have a large 1.5 acre lot with a pond on property. It is very serene and peaceful here. Our yard is only partially fenced so we keep the dogs on leash when walking outside. We make frequent potty breaks and like to take dogs for walks in the woods behind our house. They dogs usually sleep on a bed on the floor in our bedroom but will be crated if we have to leave the house for their own safety.

About: I have a sweet beagle that was rescued 7 years ago. I am fully responsible for his care, including feeding, walking, bathing, nail trimming, etc. I always check him for ticks after visiting a park and know how to safely remove them. I enjoy going for long walks, especially in summer, so would be glad to give your dog exercise. My kids have had goats, rabbits, chickens, turkeys, and ducks, which are all fun to play with, and I would be glad to care for your less-typical pets, if needed. I have even cared for lizards and snakes. I am a teacher, so have loads of time available in the summer. During the school year, I am available most weekends and after 4 on weekdays. I always keep dogs on leash when walking them...you never know when a squirrel or other dog will come by or how they will react.

“Brandon was amazing with Arlo and really spent some time making sure he had fun. Great walks, played fetch and had some fun with him in pond. Arlo has a new friend and will definitely have them spend some more time together. Thanks Brandon”

About: I have owned and cared for more than 50 animals in my 38 years 🥰 I currently have a 3 year old cat, a 2 year old cat, and a 1 year old cat. I had 2 dogs over the course of almost 19 years (12 years old and 16 years old when they passed). I grew up with skunks, cats, dogs, hamsters, lizards, and more. I also have been fostering with local rescues for more than 10 years. Overall, I am just a big animal lover and find joy in watching other people's fur babies 🥰 I work from home full time, which allows me to have a flexible schedule. Evenings, weekends, and overnights can also be arranged. If you need anything overnight I prefer to stay at your home with your pets so they are comfortable and can stay in their normal routine. Let's discuss your needs! I am happy to follow whatever instructions you have for me to care for your furbabies! I know each pet is different. Generally, dogs go out to potty several times a day, as well as need fresh food and water daily. Cats also need fresh food and water daily, plus cleaning their litter boxes at least once a day.

“Christy has walked our two rotties a couple times now and will definitely continue to use her in the future! She is very easy to communicate with and often times is available last minute. Would definitely recommend!”

About: While growing up, I fed, watered, played with, and walked our family friends. I even picked up poop! As an adult, I've done it all, from cleaning major messes to administering meds. I love canines and felines of all varieties, from the smallest to the largest! I am available to care for your pet(s) throughout the business day. Although I am also doing some volunteer work, I keep a regular schedule. I will care for your pets according to your express instructions. They will be treated as my own with as much love and concern as I can provide.

About: In your absence, I will treat your pet as a member of my family. He/she will be as important to me as they are to you! I have rescued and cared for pets of all types for friends and family. I am a lifelong animal lover, and this is something that I truly enjoy doing. I have had pets my entire life from cats and dogs to rabbits, hamsters, fish, birds and even a baby lamb. Separating from your pets can be a difficult time when you are trusting their care to another individual. I will fill the gap for you while you are gone, with consistent reliable care. I am able to administer medication, walk/exercise your pets or just visit and play with them. I will keep you updated, if so desired. While you are gone, it is my goal, to allow you to rest easy, knowing that they will have daily loving care. I am currently working from home part time and i am able to make my schedule weekly. I will set my schedule around the needs of your pet. If there are any fluctuations (scheduled appointments) during my time with your pet, you will know in advance I care for my clients pets with the same love and attention that I care for my own . Each animal has its own likes , dislikes and routines. It is my job to meet the needs of that pet on the schedule that they are used to. When I am caring for somebody else’s pet, it is my top priority to make sure that they are cared for the same way you do. Separation can difficult for them too, I will ease that as much as possible by providing what they need.

About: I have four years of experience with consistent pet-sitting. I am a teacher during the school year, so I am responsible, caring, and pay close attention to detail. I currently am a full-time teacher during the school year from 7:30-3. However, I am available after 3 PM and all day on the weekends. I am very interactive with pets and love to play with them! I also love to go on walks and am very active, so I love active pets! I am incredibly responsible and want the best care for your pet, so I am careful to follow all instructions and take care of your home as well.

“Gay is very good with Moxie. I’ve just started making a real effort in socializing her. So far much better socially than I thought she would be.”

“Makenna helped us out during a busy time in our lives by taking our puppy for walks. She is trustworthy, always very punctual and a great communicator. My puppy also loves her.”

“Emily has been a FANTASTIC dog walker for my sweet, 85lb fur baby for the last few months. She goes above and beyond and I'm truly so grateful to have her. I fully trust her to take excellent care of Meeko and he LOVED her from the beginning.”

“We hired Megan to check in on our puppy while we were out for a long afternoon, and she was fantastic! She was prompt with communication, very professional, and most importantly, incredibly caring with our pup. Having Megan there gave us real peace of mind knowing our puppy was in good hands. She sent photo updates throughout the visit, and we could clearly see how happy and relaxed our puppy was. We would absolutely recommend Megan to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful sitter!”

About: I love all kinds of animals and have experience taking care of dogs, cats, horses, turtles, snakes, fish, lizards, frogs, and more! I enjoy training puppies and dogs and am happy to practice any of your dog's specific commands while at home or on walks. I grew up with dogs, and lived with cats, a four-foot long lizard, 20 fish, and two turtles in college. I would frequently pet-sit for friends with dogs or cats and I always really enjoyed it. I have experience with drop-in and overnight stays. I am currently free in the evenings, and on weekends to take care of, play with, and walk your pets. I am working regular hours Monday through Friday and love the idea of caring for, and cuddling your animals at the end of the day. For pet-sitting, I am happy to play, train, and walk dogs (or cats and other animals), and/or I can just sit with them and give them cuddles and attention while you are away. I always try to keep the animals’ spaces tidy and leave your home as clean, or cleaner, than I found it. Non-smoking homes only.

About: My goal is to make sure that pet parents like me have someone they can trust to help care for their babies. I have two years of experience working at a boarding/daycare facility where I was a supervisor for 1.5 years there, this means that I have experience working with dogs who need to take any type of medication- like insulin. I have been working at an animal shelter for 6 months where I’ve grown to learn more about the body language of dogs which has made me more confident in making sure the animals are comfortable and I can tell when they are starting to get overstimulated. I treat every fur baby like my own just as I would hope anyone else would mine. I am currently doordashing, actively seeking more work. My schedule is very flexible so I am able to do last minute drop in’s if needed! I have a fenced in property where your dogs would be safe from getting out and wandering around, I have 3 very social dogs who love to have friends but I could also keep everyone separated if that is what’s needed. I also have crates if your pet needs to go in one. If I were to be at my clients home I would make sure that your pets are able to go potty at a scheduled time either going in your backyard or bringing them on a walk to get everything out of their system. I can make sure that your pet will not have anything in their area that could hurt them or be eaten which could cause more damage as well.

About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life. When a couple of years ago we lost our senior family dog, I started volunteering with a local rescue and have fostered 20+ puppies over the past few years. Fostering has given me experience with everything from energetic, playful pups to post-surgery care—things like baths, basic grooming, medications (even injections), vet pickups, and lots of patience and love. I also help neighbors with dog walking and pet sitting, so I’m used to different personalities and routines. I truly just love being around dogs—and getting outside for walks is a bonus for me too! I’m available for afternoon and evening walks or check-ins during the week. On weekends, I have much more flexibility and I am available throughout the day for walks, check-ins, or multiple visits if needed. I’m also happy to stick to your dogs’s usual routine to keep them comfortable and happy. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. During walks and check-ins, I follow your instructions closely, keep dogs secure on leash, and make sure they get the right balance of exercise, attention, and care. I’m attentive, reliable, and treat every pet like my own.

“Rachel took such great care of my dog Finn. They went on a long neighborhood walk and my dog was very happy. Would highly recommend Rachel!”
