Dog Walking Pleasant Ridge

About: I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember, I am naturally quiet and calm so dogs especially are very comfortable around me. I’ve cared for dogs, cats and horses while their humans were away for 40 plus years and I am reliable and thoughtful with every visit. I’m retired and spend most days gardening with my dogs so I’m very flexible. It’s easy for me to make time to add pet care to my schedule. I care for my clients pets per their direction and request adding in lots of kindness and praise. I arrive on time ready to engage with them.

“Super responsive, took the cutest photos and was great !”

About: Hi! My name is Elisheba, along with being a mother to 3 kids, I am also a lover of all things furry and cute. I have been caring for dogs my entire life and have owned American Bulldogs, Boerboels and Frienchies. I frequently dog sit for my friend's furry kids while they are away. I have experience with dogs of all shapes and sizes as well as energy levels. I am a laid back person myself, but my children sure do a great job at keeping pups active and entertained. I consider myself an experienced puppy snuggler but I love going on walks and venturing to local dog parks. I understand that your dog is a member of your family and I will make sure they feel like they are a member of mine!

About: My heart loves your pets as mine own. Need special medical care? Extra belly rubs? A million pictures sent to you? Please tell me I’d love to meet them. I am a nurse and have a pretty flexible schedule. I work 3 days a week. Happy to work with you on what is best fitting for your family. I am happy to accommodate what your family does for care for your pet(s). I would love to have a conversation to make sure we are both comfortable and allowing the best care.

“Abbey is our regular dog walker, so this review is in reference to an ongoing commitment/arrangement. Abbey has been excellent with our elder dog. She is reliable, communicative, and trustworthy. We have had no issues or concerns. We appreciate her and would recommend her services to others!”

About: I’m currently studying to be a vet assistant. Since I was a kid I’ve loved animals and have accumulated lots of knowledge over the years. I’ve been trusted to care for many family pets. I’m very calm and patient, and I’m excited to have the opportunity to care for your pets as well! I’m currently working part-time, early mornings. Mid-week, afternoons and weekends are the best times for me to care for and play with your babies! I live in a very quiet home and a very quiet neighborhood. We can sit and relax while I knit or easily walk down to the nearby observatory, park, or town square.

“Susan is wonderful. So kind and patient with my aging dog. Keeps me updated along their walk. Easy to trust her with my furry four legged BFF.”

“I really like wolf. I have used them twice . So kind . Thanks for loving my dog and being so nice to her when I am busy at work caring for patients . You take a huge weight off my back : knowing my best friend Storm is being well cared for.”

Violet L.

About: I’ve been taking care of pets my whole life, growing up I was always the one to help with all the animals. Started with the neighbors dogs, then I would ride my bike to a house in the neighborhood and look after their two dogs. Now I regularly cat sit for a coworker and am the go to whenever anyone needs help with pets. I have lots of experience with senior dogs, but am willing and able to take care of all ages and sizes. My job schedule is not the most consistent, but typically 9-5 on weekdays, but sometimes I’ll be done earlier or have a long break in the middle, but I always have lunch and I would be able to go back for a potty break then. And weekends are always different, but I would be gone for shorter periods of time. Walks would be in the evening during the week and then we could work out a time in the morning or evening on the weekends. More than happy to keep your baby company if you are out of town and take care of whatever they need. I’m also willing to stay over and house sit if that is needed, but can also just do visits if that’s preferred. If you’re in town, but in a busy phase of life I would be able to take your dog on long walks, do enrichment activities, or take them to a dog park.

About: I currently cannot have my own dog but I love taking care of dogs. I have been watching some family friends’ dogs taking care of them and their home while they’re on vacation. I’m currently working a job part time on the weekends but my week days are completely free because I’m a teacher who is off for the summer. I have a fenced in yard. I also do not have any pets but my boyfriend and I love dogs! We love taking care of other people’s pets because they all have different personalities!

“Sara was fantastic! She was punctual and treated Millie with the upmost respect. Sara gave great updates throughout the walk and captured some stunning photos. I would highly recommend Sara for any of your pet needs!”

Nicholas S.

“Breanna is the absolute best. She has been essential in potty/leash training our puppy (tough with our work schedules!) and is vigilant with consistency in training commands—so important for a little pup! Our fur baby could not love her more!”

Meg S.

“Libby is a great sitter! She takes my dog on neighborhood walks or if time and weather permit, adventures to a nearby walking path. She's easy to communicate with and has made me feel at ease while I'm at work! Thanks, libby”

Kaitlin B.

“Megan is the best. My boys are so happy when they know she’s coming!”

Alisha S.

“My girls LOVE Danyul! He walks both of them twice and week and they are excited every time. He takes such good care of my babies and sends me pictures. He’s extremely trustworthy, he has a key to my apartment.”

“Christina has been great with our dog, he is scared of new people and she has done so much to make him comfortable and open up to her. Our dog loves his daily walks now”

Jeremy L.

About: I am active and love taking care of pets. I am adaptable and can work in any setting while still being very organized and on task. I am currently a college athlete at Xavier University and manage my course load along with my athletic commitments. While I do have a lot going on I have lots of downtime away from sports and school where I would love to spend it helping people out. I have 2 dogs, ages 5 and 7, that live in my home. I live in an area with easily accessible walking paths and parks while also have a yard for dogs to play in.

“Very accommodating when I needed to cancel day of because one of my dogs started to get sick the night before. Also went above and beyond to come over early before I needed to get to work to show me how a gentle-lead works and see how my dog would react to having it on.”

Kelsey H.

About: As a pet professional and business owner, I am devoted to providing the highest quality services. I will ensure your pet(s) safety, comfort, and happiness, as well as your satisfaction. I aim to go above and beyond by providing customized and thorough care. I am respectful of my client’s homes and communicative about each visit. Degree + Experience + Passion! Specializing in dogs who could use improvement with basic manners, new family members (adopted dogs, puppies), nervous, fearful, and reactive dogs. *Discounts available for clients on Schubert, Troy, and Cortelyou Aves, and parts of Ridge and Losantiville Aves. My schedule is currently flexible- I can often offer walks and drop ins as early as 7am and as late as 8:30pm. Based in Pleasant Ridge. I am the proud owner of Maple Tree Dog Training LLC. I believe that force-free training is the best way to effectively change behavior and build respect and communication with animals of all types, including humans. I strive to offer choices and reinforce the behaviors I like most and avoid forcing any animal to do anything. Learning and training should be FUN and POSITIVE. Fear and force has no place in our relationships. If your dog currently uses aversive tools or methods (ex. prong, choke, or shock collars) I would be more than happy to demonstrate how positive methods could be applied. I do not use aversive tools or methods during my services. Contact me to schedule a meet and greet! I look forward to getting to know you and your pets! Pet care is a daily activity in my personal life. I currently have a decent amount of flexibility and my schedule is filled on a first-come first serve basis. I often have availability in the morning, afternoon, and evenings, and limited availability on the weekends and holidays. I can occasionally provide overnight pet boarding services in my home, but a meet and greet with my dog is required to ensure I can host your pup while ensuring the safety, comfort, and happiness of both your dog and mine. I follow all instructions carefully and ask for clarification when needed. I do my best to ensure your pet is delighted during my visit and relaxed after.

“On time, excellent communication before and after walk, very understanding and accommodating of our dog’s particularities. Excellent with big, strong dog! Will definitely hire again. Thanks!!”
