Dog Walking Pleasant Ridge

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!

“This was our first time having someone walk the dogs, and Breanna was wonderful! She sent pictures, updates and communicated well throughout. Using her again soon!!”

About: I grew up with dogs and have always loved animals! I've been a pet and house sitter for friends and family for over a decade, and I'll show the same care for your pet and space that you do! I work evenings so I would have availability in the morning and early afternoon. I would also be available for pet care full time on the weekends. I will always make sure your pet gets the full attention and care they deserve! Your home will be left just as clean as I found it, and I will treat it with respect.

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.

“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 love working with dogs and tailor my care to each pet’s needs. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or giving medication, I make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved. I also have experience with senior dogs, so I understand the extra patience and attention they need, offering gentle walks, plenty of reassurance, and a calm, caring environment to keep them happy and healthy. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide your pet with consistent attention throughout the day. I can easily accommodate walks, playtime, and care whenever needed, ensuring your pet feels comfortable and loved at all times. In your home, I provide a safe and comfortable environment for pets while keeping them on their usual routine. I make sure they’re closely supervised during outdoor time and always prioritize their safety and well-being.

About: I have always been an animal lover. I began dog sitting and walking about 15 years ago. I enjoy every type of dog (big, small, young, old, etc.) and love spending time with them. I am a runner so if your dog needs some really great exercise, I am happy to run with them or take them for a long walk. I also have plenty of experience with older dogs (including my current dog, Franklin) who might require a slower, more patient walk and care. I am also available to take care of cats, whether outgoing or shy, or in addition to a dog or just a cat/cats by themselves. I have plenty of experience with cats also as I currently own two who I have raised since they were born and are now both 10 years old. I am open to any specific requests/questions you may have pertaining to your dogs and/or cats, and I look forward to taking care of them!

Love all animals and have experience in handling, interpretation, giving medicine from vets, animal care and cleanliness, and bonding with your pets! Currently I am in my last semester at UC while also holding down a service job. Typically, Tues/Thurs are days I am gaurenteed not to work, due to class, but on days I do they are around 4 hour shifts in the evening. Sundays I work until close, so that will be my only 6+ hour shift. Mondays, however, I work a double, but get time in between shifts where I can check on your animal! Experience with crating animals, feeding them, medicine administration, and play time! I like to give animals my full attention and feel as if I can read body language well to know comfort levels of the pet. I like to stay with them as long as my schedule allows, as if no one really left them home alone!

“Lindsay was wonderful. She’s super friendly, punctual, flexible with time and easily walked Finn, one of the most energetic dogs I’ve ever had! I’ll definitely continue to contact her for services in the future.”

“Maria was very patient and attentive during the dog walking session we had today. Our dog was quite anxious, and she managed the situation very well, constantly talking to him in a calm and sweet tone, which helped him to calm down.”

About: Hi, I’m Kristen! For more than 25 years, my home and heart have belonged to rescue dogs. I know firsthand that our four-legged family members require patience and understanding as they age or transition through life. Right now, I share my life a senior rescue hound (age ~13) who receives daily oral medications. Recently, I lovingly cared for my 15-year-old rescue through a cancer diagnosis, managing a complex daily schedule of multiple medications and physical mobility assistance, including carrying her safely up and down stairs. I was also the primary caregiver for our 17-year-old Shih Tzu/Jack Russell mix, whom I adopted when he was 9 months old, until he peacefully passed. Because I don't work a traditional 9-to-5 job right now, my schedule is open. Your pets will receive my undivided attention, whether they need drop-in visits, walks, or a house sitter to keep them company overnight in the comfort of their own home. I treat every animal with the same love and vigilance I give my own. I'm available every day for house-sitting, drop-ins, or walks. I'd love to meet your furry babies! I'll adapt my schedule to the routine your dog is used to. This typically includes about 45 minutes of exercise per day for dogs, daily updates and photos, and companionship for cats. Senior pet devotion: I'm deeply familiar with the slow pace, mobility challenges, and physical vulnerabilities of aging pets. Medication administration: Expert at seamlessly giving oral medications, tracking complex dosing schedules, and managing medical care (inspired by my own pets' health journeys). Rescue and reactivity knowledge: My first rescue, Simon, was dog-reactive. I understand the vigilance required on walks, how to read canine body language, and how to keep a reactive dog calm and safe. Community minded: Proud volunteer for Cincinnati Animal Care, giving me hands-on experience with dogs from all backgrounds and temperaments.

About: Multi-pet owner with experience caring for giant breeds, puppies & seniors anxious dogs, reactive dogs, and multi-pet households. I understand that every pet has unique needs and routines, and I provide patient, reliable care tailored to them. Whether your pet needs extra space, structure, or just lots of love, I’ll treat them like family while you’re away. I work from home, so boarded pets have lots of attention and outside time often. I’m right next to a park with lots of trails, so I’m happy to incorporate walks as requested! I have a privacy fenced yard, with pet friendly turf and lots of space to play! My pets are social and love to play, but my home is also set up to be able to safely separate all pets if yours needs personal space.

About: I have had dogs since I was 6, taken care of them my whole life, but don’t have one of my own currently sadly. I want to get a dog within the next year so would to take care of yours while I am interviewing from home! I work from home for now, interviewing for residencies, with lots of time to take pets out throughout the day. I go on long walks and runs on my own daily so will keep your pet happy and active! I love caring for pets, petting and cuddling with them, taking them on long walks, and playing with them indoors while I am sitting around.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. With more than 30 years of experience caring for dogs and cats, I've been surrounded by pets since I was a child. In fact, my very first job was walking neighborhood dogs when I was in middle school—and my love for caring for animals has only grown since then. I've raised and trained my own dogs from puppyhood, giving me firsthand experience with house training, socialization, leash training, and the patience and consistency puppies need to thrive. My dogs are truly part of our family, and I care for every pet as if they were my own. I also have experience caring for senior pets who require daily medications, as well as rescue dogs who may need extra patience, understanding, and a calm approach due to anxiety or special feeding routines. I understand that every pet has their own personality, and I enjoy getting to know what makes each one feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Beyond dogs and cats, I've cared for many other animals over the years, including birds, fish, hamsters, turtles, frogs, lizards, and hermit crabs. I'm comfortable caring for a wide variety of pets and am always happy to learn about their individual needs. In my full-time career, I work in an elementary school, so I have summers off and additional some flexibility throughout the year (outside of carpooling to my kid’s sports 😉). That allows me to provide dependable, attentive care and plenty of time, love, and companionship for your furry (or feathered or scaly!) family members. My goal is to give you peace of mind, knowing your pets are safe, happy, and treated like family while you're away. My schedule is very flexible this summer! Since I work at an elementary school during the school year, I have the summer months off and am available throughout the day to care for your pets. Aside from occasionally carpooling my son to camp/sports, my schedule is wide open, allowing me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs. Whether your pet needs drop-in visits, walks, companionship, or a consistent routine while you're away, I'm happy to work with your schedule to provide dependable, attentive care. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I prefer caring for dogs in their own home whenever possible, where they can remain in a familiar, comfortable environment and maintain their normal routine. I understand that changes can be stressful for some pets, and I strive to make your time away as calm and worry-free as possible. My schedule is flexible, and I'm happy to work around your dog's individual needs, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise routines, and favorite activities. I also welcome the opportunity to schedule a meet-and-greet beforehand so your pet can get to know me and you can feel completely confident that they'll be in caring, capable hands.

About: I’ve taken care of pets of all kinds since I was in middle school. My family would Foster’s cats and dogs growing up and I was in charge or taking care of the pets. I would walk, feed and often train the dogs while they were waiting for the forever homes. Taking care of the dogs gave me many opportunities in the summers to watch relatives and family friends dogs. Hi I just want to be transparent about my work schedule. I work 8a-6pm Tuesdays-Thursdays and 8a-4p on Fridays. I have open availability Saturday- Monday and I will continue to take pictures and keep you updated throughout my time with you pets! My pup Mayve will happily keep them company and if she bothers them she can always take a break and go over to my moms.

About: I’m a professional pet care provider with 2,400+ completed visits through a pet care company and my own independent clients. I work with all pets—high-energy, reactive, senior, shy, and everything in between. I'll tailor each visit to your pet's routine and personality. Before every booking, I ask about their preferences, triggers, and how they respond to new people. During visits, I'll send written and photo updates so you know how things are going. Cats are a specialty, and I'm comfortable letting them set the pace, whether they want playtime, attention, or plenty of space. I'm experienced with senior pets and multi-pet households. I'm also insured through PCI. I generally have a flexible schedule around my other work, especially Monday-Thursday and over the weekend. Let’s talk about your needs for care with a meet and greet. I am happy to do playtime in the yard, cuddle on the couch, depending on what your pet is feeling for the days we meet.

“I am so happy I connected with Sydney!! She has been great with Angel during her walks and very attentive. In the photos provided, I can tell Angel is happy to be in her care. I highly recommend Sydney’s services and will book with her again.”
