Dog Walkers in Pekin, OH

About: I have been taking care of pets for 10 years now. My passion for animals boosted in 2013 when I started helping a nonprofit animal rescue. Since then I have fostered animals, became a pet sitter for past fosters and worked in animal care. I’m currently a full-time student at the University of Cincinnati, but have flexibility throughout the day to provide the best care for your babies. I am available most weekends as well. I will treat your pet with the respect and love they deserve. I provide care at the pace your furry friend is comfortable with, to ensure they have the best care possible. I have experience in working with all sorts of different personalities from anxious and nervous to happy-go-lucky. I stride to treat each pet like they are my own and provide them with the care to put your worries to ease.

About: My husband Jeff and I have 2 dogs and no kids. Our dogs are our kids! Our dogs are about 2 years old and get along well with other dogs. Both of us grew up with dogs and have had dogs that are both young and senior. We give our dogs lots of time and attention. We are responsible pet owners and believe in keeping them healthy, loved, safe, and part of our pack! I am retired and my husband works part-time so one of us is almost always home to care for your pet(s). If we are gone for a few hours, our dogs are caged in the house. Usually, it is if we go out for dinner or the store, so it's for short periods. If your dog does not do caging, that's ok as long as they are good! We have a large fenced yard. Our 6 foot privacy fence also has wire mesh at the bottom of the fence to make sure dogs are safe and can't get out (or other animals get in). Our dogs are about 3 years old and get along well with other dogs. They love to play and are free to move in the house and the yard, and they get regular walks. Dogs are allowed on furniture. We would love to be your pet sitter while you are away, and you can be confident your doggie will be happy, safe and loved!

About: I’ve had both my pugs since they were 8 weeks old and they’re now 7 and 10. I worked at a veterinary clinic for 5 years throughout high school and college! I recently moved to the area and became a stay at home pug mom from being a healthcare provider. I’d love to take care of your beloved pet! I recently became a stay at home pug mom with my husband’s new job, so I have a wide array of availability for you and your pet. Mornings, mid day, evenings, and weekends are all acceptable. I want to spend my time helping others, and animals are the way to my heart! I’m comfortable coming to your house to leash and walk your dog, drop in for treats, a potty break, and play time, or whatever you may need!

“We have used several other sitters for our two dogs with mixed results. After meeting with Jennifer we felt very good about having her care for our pups, and I must say we made a very good decision. We will most certainly use Jennifer when ever we need help with our dogs”

“Risa was great! Communicates in a timely manner and was willing to come meet our pup prior to our scheduled day since it was his first time with her.”

About: Thought I could give this a go from the many years of petsitting. Currently working in a daycare for dogs plus cats. I can feed, clean, and walk plus take care of your precious babies!! I’m currently working a part time job with animals so I will have plenty of time to fit your baby in my schedule especially during the day if needed. I have plenty of land and a sweetheart of a dog who loves spending time with others and there are leashes, crates, safe environment for your pup.

“Kristin was fantastic! She walked our dog twice a day while we were out of town and I loved seeing the happy pup photos and getting updates.”

About: I am comfortable around all dogs. I have worked at a doggie daycare for the past year and I love dogs of all shapes and sizes! I can give oral and food-based medications. I also love cats! I have two dogs at home and a cat :) I cannot wait to care for your pets while you are not able to. I can work caring for your pet into my daily life, as I am a college student. For the summer, I am off, so I have a very flexible schedule. I am unable to care for pets in my home, but I can come to your home so your pets do not need to adjust to a new schedule and home.

“First time using Laci and she was great! My pup was worn out! Laci is very trustworthy and I cannot wait to have her for future dog walks! ?”

About: I have had a dog my entire life. Each one has been a unique part of the family. Tucker is my baby who I’ve had since he was a puppy. He is my whole world! I'm very trustworthy and I'll treat your dogs as if they're my own! I love to play with dogs, will take them for walks, or just hangout and give them a good scratch or brushing. I'm willing to do anything else you'd like so they feel comfortable, like a meet-and-greet! I've dog sat several times before and I really enjoy it! I am between jobs and have some extra time and what better way to spend it than to walk dogs and dog sit! I hope to meet your dog (and you) soon! I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time to check on your pets and take them on a walk! My availability will be sporadic, but please message me and I will let you know if I’m free I will do anything you’d like me to with your dog and my goal is to make them feel comfortable! I am all about making them feel at home, getting exercise, or whatever your dogs needs are!

About: I have taken care of all types of dogs. I have socialized puppies for professional dog trainers. I walk dogs for friends and family, and several families rely on me to pet sit and scoop poop. I also don't mind bathing dogs when they get messy! I work at a daycare and go to school, so morning, evenings and nights work the best for me. I am also usually available all day on the weekends. I am happy to come to your house to care for your pet whenever needed! I find it beneficial for the dogs to be in a familiar area. I would love to come play with your dog and take them on walks!

About: I'm an animal lover eager to help take care of your pet with as little disruption or stress to their normal routines and expectations! I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes and cats particularly for walks, check-ins, and house sitting. I have regularly taken care of friend's and family's pets since 2024, and it brings me great joy. I am self-employed with a primarily travel-based career, combined with some light work-from-home, meaning I can make your pet the primary focus when I'm available for booking. Much of my work is contained to weekends so I can help particularly with weekday care. My primary focus is to be a highlight of your pet's day, or at least maintain their (and your!) usual routines and expectations as best I can. I offer walks, visits, crating, or longer-term pet sitting in your house. Any special requests or routines for your pets are my priority while they are in my care!

About: Hi! My name is Zoey, and animals have always been a huge part of my life. I have years of experience in pet care and professional dog grooming, giving me a strong understanding of animal behavior, comfort, and safety. Due to a disability, I had to step away from grooming, but my love for caring for pets never changed. I would love the opportunity to spend time with your furry family members — giving them love, attention, cuddles, playtime, and dependable care while you’re away. I’m experienced with dogs of all sizes and temperaments and understand the importance of patience, kindness, and creating a calm environment for pets. Whether your pet needs companionship, walks, feeding, medication reminders, or simply someone loving to keep them company, I’m here to help treat them like family. Your pets will be cared for with love, compassion, and plenty of snuggles! Pet care is something I truly love, and I’m so thankful to have found Rover because it allows me to continue working with animals despite my disability. This is my full-time job, which means I have a very open and flexible schedule and can be available anytime — day or night — to care for your pets. I’m dedicated to making sure your pets feel safe, loved, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. Whether they need cuddles, companionship, playtime, walks, feeding, or just someone patient and dependable by their side, I’m here for them whenever needed. Your pets will always be treated like family in my care! At this time, I’m currently offering pet sitting and house sitting services in your home so your pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. I’m happy to provide loving care, companionship, feeding, walks, playtime, cuddles, and attentive care while you’re away. In the near future, I will be renovating my home so I can also offer boarding services for both dogs and cats, as well as training support. I’m very excited to continue expanding my services and create a safe, comfortable space where pets can feel right at home!

About: I have loved animals ever since I was born. They are my favorite thing in life. I will treat your animal with the most love I can offer. I’m more of a stay-at-home person, so when I am committed to watching your pet, they will be well taken care of while in my care. I have a fenced in yard and lots of space for a dog to play in! I have 2 cats but they are very antisocial and won’t be a problem. I’m also a quick learner and a natural when it comes to pet care!

About: I have cared for pets of my own since I was 5 and have been pet sitting cats and dogs of all ages and sizes since I was 13 for family friends. I am a college student and I pet sit over the summer, and holiday breaks throughout the year. I am available for daily drop-in’s throughout the week and on weekends. Morning/Night Check-ins would be easiest for me but I would be happy to visit more frequently if need be! Also, I can sit and play with your pet for a few hours if you’d prefer that! I have 2 pets of my own so I would prefer to care for your pets in your home! I would come to your house as frequent as you’d like throughout the day.

About: I’ve worked in Vet Med for 5 years as a vet assistant! I also have been surrounded by animals my whole life and really enjoy being around them. I am able to do walks on the weekends for sure, as my regular work schedule allows. Don’t be afraid to reach out and ask! I’m not currently able to board dogs on my own due to being in school, I’m mostly just interested in walking at this point in time!

“Quick, responsive! She made the stress of leaving my pet alone for a few hours go away!”

“She was very sweet and had great communication. So good with our sweet doggie, and she was flexible and worked well with figuring out what she needed in the moment. Would book again!”

About: I have taken care of animals my whole life. I’ve had pets from tarantulas to rats! I currently own and care for chickens, goats, dogs, cats, and fish. I am also an Ohio permitted wildlife rehabilitator, so caring for all creatures is my passion. I’m currently off for the summer, as I am a teacher. I would like to do this as a summer job. I’m pretty flexible during the week. Weekends are a little more scheduled in, but I can work around schedules. I am available to do drop ins for animals. I can also walk and/or exercise dogs. I am available to dispense medication if needed. I’m also happy to care for any small animals.

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was a kid, considering our house has always been a zoo lol. I love fur babies and I will absolutely send you way to many pics. I currently work at my winter job but in the summer times I always pet sit for my neighbors for extra money, so i am available a lot. I will always make sure your pet is fed and happy. Comfort of an animal is my top priority, especially when there owner is away.
