Dog Walking Oakwood

“Brad has been a fantastic help for our dog walking needs for our golden retriever. He’s always quick to respond, easy to work with, and dependable. Each walk report card comes with multiple photos. I’d recommend him to anyone in the Dayton area looking for a dog walker.”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 15. I have helped family members, coworkers, neighbors, and other families by feeding, walking, playing with, etc. with their dogs, including both daytime visits and overnight stays. I also have experience with fostering dogs from a shelter for the day. I would love the opportunity to help you with your dog! I am a student right now and only taking four classes this semester so I have a pretty open schedule. I am available Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays in the mornings before 11 and anytime after 12:30/1; and Tuesdays and Thursdays before 9, 12:30-1:30, and after 3:30. My weekends are pretty much open for anytime. I have experience dealing with multiple types of dogs (different breads and sizes) and always listen to the owners request of how things should be done.

About: I’ve had pets all my life. I currently have two cats and an axolotl! I have worked with dog and cat rescues and gained some great experience and compassion. Experienced with dogs of all breeds, Giving kitties and pups meds, feeding, special diet, walks, play time, special needs too! I am not currently employed so I have a flexible schedule and can come to your home at your convenience! No late nights available currently. I will always do my absolute best to keep your baby safe and healthy! I’m very caring and intuitive with animals and they trust me. I build bonds with them.

About: I have a huge passion for animals of all types. I will be attentive to your dog's individual needs from dietary to exercise. If there is a specific diet program please leave detailed instructions or provide a demonstration upon meeting. I have owned and taken care of many dogs in the last 12 yrs including staying overnight with a puppy under 6mos and dog sitting 2 great danes. I enjoy playing with dogs, taking them on walks, being there for cuddles, or simply providing comfort for their anxiety. Every dog is an individual so I will tailor a plan for your dog accordingly. I have a variety of availability and am prompt to alert to changes. I am great at training and maintaining training routines. I'm currently working a flexible semi remote job. Depending on the needs of the dog(s) I can adjust certain times of my week to accommodate special cases. I can care for pets at your home. My beagle girl is skittish around other dogs and trained with an e fence perimeter. I have dog sat and house sat for friends, family, and unrelated new acquaintances. I have a safe and nurturing spirit combined with a strong enough presence that dogs respect without my need to raise my voice.

About: Starting in 2015, while working as a housekeeper, I became the go-to pet sitter for many of the families I cleaned for. Even after starting my career as an esthetics instructor, I stayed on as their trusted sitter, continuing to care for their senior cats and dogs alike, foster dogs, special needs dogs, dogs with behavioral issues. With both a cat and dog myself and having raised two litters of pups, I offer a wide variety of knowledge and expertise. I take pride in giving an insane amount of scratches, massages, baby talk and car rides for doggy ice cream from Ritters, all while singing “you are my sunshine.” I am a firm and proud believer that I ought to treat your pets as I would my very own! Having a huge heart for animals, I trust their instincts and strive to be as in tune with them as possible. They truly are so sensitive to what’s going on around them and I humbly love learning from each animal, their outlook on life and their own experiences. I have a lot of flexibility within my schedule as I only work 3 days each week as an esthetician and esthetics instructor, and have my husband to help me take care of our fur own fur babies. I don’t mind early mornings, and strive to keep a consistent routine for your pet. I will ALWAYS send check in photos each day I come, keep things clean and organized, observe their behavior, and stay as close to their normal routine as possible.

“Awesome.”

About: I have been trusted by many friends and family for years to provide dog care services. I have watched multiple dogs, big dogs, dogs that take meds, anxious dogs, etc. I am willing to walk, check in, or stay nights if needed. With summer my weeks are random. Most weeks I will be free unless already booked. I do online classes so am able to spend a decent amount of time watching dogs. I have watched many dogs in the past. I should be able to do whatever is needed regarding care for the dog. I am happy to help.

“Dorothy was great! Very friendly and good with Luna. She sent pictures during each walk so I could see my pup was getting attention! I would definitely book her again!”

“Liesa is our new go-to buddy when it comes to walking and house-sitting our fur babies! Not only did she respond to our initial request quickly, but she was also super communicative after responding with her availability. Our pup Zoe enjoyed her first walk with Liesa and we already have another appointment on the books! We received pictures of Zoe on her walk - including an exciting squirrel encounter - that had us feeling included in her adventure with Liesa. Highly recommend Liesa, couldn't be happier that we found her!”

“Alysia was a great help with our not so easy GSP. We had a wonderful experience. Alysia took excellent care of our dog and kept us updated with photos and messages, which really gave us peace of mind. Our dog was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for when we returned. We wouldn’t hesitate to book again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.”

About: I’ve been taking care of animals since my brother got his first dog when I was 12. Me and my family have had all sorts of puppers from a 130lbs cane corso to a 40lbs husky mix. I’ve dog sat dogs of every size and with a huge range of personalities. I’ve also never met a dog that didn’t like me. I am a full time student, however I get breaks in between my classes and when I’m not at class I’ll most likely be with your dog. I should be available 24/7 aside from some holidays and exams weeks :( I have a fenced in spacious yard and a crate if needed. I do live with 2 senior pitbulls, but the only thing I’d be worried about is the cold look from a jealous dog that’s used to getting all my attention.

About: I’ve grown up caring for multiple dogs throughout my life, giving me hands-on experience with feeding, walking, playtime, and everyday care. I treat every dog like family and prioritize their safety and happiness. I am currently home from college for the summer. I do not have other responsibilities, so caring for your pet is my top priority. I am free every day to be able to feed, walk, and play with them. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining their everyday routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. Whether I’m providing walks, drop-in visits, or overnight care, I’ll ensure your pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, fresh water, meals, and any other care instructions you provide.

About: I have been a professional dog trainer for 20 years working with everything from police dogs, therapy dogs, service dogs, rescue dogs, sport dogs, and happy go lucky pets so it’s safe to say I’ve seen and worked with it all! But my big thing is really teaching dogs how to be dogs as that is where I find the root of most dogs behavioral problems. So I am happy to help people who live busy lives to come in and play with, walk, and socialize with your dog. I am the owner of my own dog training business, Dogs by Nature, and create my own schedule. So as long as I have notice I can be flexible. I also offer $5 off if you go through my business vs Rover For the most part I go to clients homes and care for your dog there. I’m happy to fallow any instructions left. If for some reason we agree for me to pick up your dog they ride in a crash tested dog crate and will have a gps tracker on them that I am happy to share the location with you.

About: All my life I've been interested in animals. I grew up with a dog, a cat, and a snake, and my work in the field has involved all sorts of animal husbandry, from shearing sheep to catching alligators or banding songbirds. Sometimes I feel I understand animals better than people which helps me provide specialized one-on-one care to meets your beloved pet's needs. I want to ensure that they feel as safe, comfortable, and well-loved with me as they do with you! I'm currently taking some online classes, so my schedule is pretty flexible! Right now I have a lot of time Fridays-Mondays which I would love to spend taking care of some special pets. I don't have access to a fenced-in yard currently and would not be able to host a dog to the best of my ability. I've taken care of cats at my house, however, and have found that they quickly feel at ease in my home environment. My kitty passed away last year, unfortunately, but I am home often and will provide as much company and attention as your pet desires. I want them to know they have a friend in me.

About: Hello, I have worked for rescues I volunteered for shelters. I’m that crazy cat lady that will pick up an injured cat off of the side of the road or in the neighborhood that needs help because as human beings we are here to help the helpless and give them a voice. Hello, I foster and help out with the stray community of cats. I am very into TNR trap neuter release I think as human beings we are here to help the helpless and give these animals a voice. I care for my animals on a daily basis. Make sure my dogs are walked, played with and make sure their emotional needs are taken care of. I make sure my cats always are fed, taken care of and all their litter boxes are cleaned on a daily basis. I feel like a clean environment for your animals is the best environment and they will thrive.

“Mckinzey has been great with our pup Coco. She has been reliable, professional, and patient with Coco’s hesitation and vocalization surrounding people she doesn’t know.”
