Dog Walkers in Polk, OH

“Sophia is an amazing dog walker and overall dog friend. You can tell she really enjoys being around dogs and taking care of them, cuddles included. She even stayed longer one day to cuddle with our dog during thunderstorms in the area. You won't go wrong hiring Sophia to walk, watch or take care of your pets! She's just the best.”

About: I've been caring for dogs since I was about 10 years old, so you could say it's in my blood. Over the years, I've learned so much about their different personalities and needs. One of the most special dogs in my life was my own, who lived to the incredible age of 18. He was a constant companion and taught me so much about loyalty and love. That experience really shaped my approach to dog care, making me extra attentive and dedicated to their well-being. I also have experience with cats and rabbits as well. I usually work my other job in the mornings, but I can be flexible to fit your schedule. Let me know what times work best for you, and I'll do my best to accommodate! Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or in a client's home, I always make sure they have a safe, comfortable, and fun environment. I follow their regular feeding and exercise routines, and I'm always attentive to their individual needs and quirks. Lots of playtime, cuddles, and positive reinforcement are definitely part of the deal!

“Kristi did an excellent job with Bo! He was very excited to see her and had a fun walk with her and slept well after. :-) She did a great job at keeping me updated throughout the walk, and I was very pleased overall!”

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember - I got my first pet when I was just two years old, and I've been caring for animals ever since! Over the years, my love for animals grew into a passion I wanted to turn into a career. Since I was nineteen, I've worked in animal hospitals, shelters, and pet boarding facilities, caring for pets of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. Whether it's a bouncy puppy, a shy rescue, or a senior pet who needs a little extra TLC, I put my whole heart into making them feel safe, loved, and happy. Caring for animals isn't just something I do, it's truly the heart of my day-to-day life! My schedule revolves around giving my pets (and hopefully yours!) the attention, love, and care they deserve, and I take that responsibility with pride! Whether it's early-morning walks, midday play sessions, or evening cuddles, I make sure your pets feel safe, happy, and cherished at every moment. Pet care is my top priority, and I'm always ready to make time for them! When I'm caring for pets in your home, their comfort and safety always comes first! I make sure they get the playtime, exercise, and fresh air they need to stay happy and healthy!! I also take pride in leaving your home exactly as I found it - if not a little cleaner! I'll tidy up after play sessions, clean any messes, and make sure everything is secure before I go. My goal is for you to return to a happy pet and a home that feels just as you left it, so you can relax knowing everything is in good hands!

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and always took the lead role in caring and training those in my family. I’m also a trained veterinary assistant so I am capable of handling just about every situation I come across with your canine companion. I am a senior at Purdue university studying Pre-Veterinary medicine. I am currently in Wooster with my fiance for the summer, and am looking for work on top of working on my veterinary school applications. I am well trained in animal handling and am comfortable walking dogs with an abundance of equipment. I can also easily crate dogs. Another bonus is that I am certified in small animal first aid and CPR, giving me valuable skills in keeping your pets safe.

“Kate took excellent care of our fur babies while we were away! They loved her drop in visits and fall walks and the photos show just how much fun they were having. We'll definitely use her again for future trips!”
