Dog Walkers in Port William, OH

About: I'm currently studying to become a certified dog trainer through Animal Behavior College, with additional certification to work specifically with shelter and rescue animals. I have experience with dogs of all ages, including puppies, seniors, and those needing a little extra patience and care. What sets me apart is my passion for every part of pet care—from training and enrichment to comfort and fun. I also run a small pet business where I make homemade dog treats, leashes, bandanas, and more. Whether we're out for a walk, snuggling during a stay, or working on basic manners, I make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and loved like one of my own. I work part-time at a bank, but outside of that, my schedule is very flexible. I have plenty of time during the week and weekends to dedicate to pet care, whether it's daily walks, drop-in visits, boarding, or overnight stays. I make sure each pet gets the time, attention, and care they deserve! Safety and comfort are always my top priorities. In my home, pets have a clean, cozy, and secure space where they can relax and feel at ease. I provide plenty of playtime, walks, and snuggles, and I follow your pet’s routine closely to keep things consistent and stress-free. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I treat them like family—paying close attention to their needs, behaviors, and preferences. I'm also trained in reading canine body language and am working toward certification in dog training and shelter care, so I'm confident handling dogs of all temperaments with patience and care.

“Thank your!!!”

About: I’ve always been the person that catches the un-catchable runaway. Animals naturally warm up to me almost immediately. Family friends and neighbors always contact me for loving care of their fur babies I am retired from ups and am available for almost anytime to help you provide the most loving care for your pet while you’re away.

I love working out and would not mind walking/running with your dog as needed. My Shepherd takes daily anxiety medication and thunderstorm medication when needed, so I am comfortable giving medication as well. I am doing freelance work which allows me lots of extra free time. I am available mornings, afternoons, and nights, Monday-Friday. Most weekends I am available. I will mark on my calendar days that I am not available in advanced and will always keep that up to date.

About: Hi there! I’m Katie, your go-to pet lover who believes every wag, purr, and cuddle makes life brighter. I’ve grown up around animals and have spent 15 years caring for dogs, cats, and even the occasional quirky critter. Whether your pup needs adventurous walks, your senior dog needs gentle care, or your cat just wants a playmate, I’ve got it covered. Caring for animals isn’t something I have to “make time for”—it’s already woven into my daily rhythm. Each day, I start and end with time spent outdoors, which makes dog walking and playtime a natural part of my schedule. I plan my mornings and evenings around walks, meals, and check-ins, and I keep my afternoons flexible for drop-ins or longer adventures. When I come to your home, my priority is keeping your pet comfortable in their own environment. I follow your instructions closely—feeding schedules, exercise routines, medications, and special quirks are all respected. I keep things tidy, give them plenty of attention, and send you updates so you know they’re well cared for. Pets feel secure because they get to stay in the space they know best, while still getting all the affection and companionship they need.

Visits will always include lots of affection and playtime, with a little training slipped into their games.

Great communicator and, despite the truly crappy weather, G got his walks. Personable, dependable, and loves dogs. Highest recommendation.”

About: My passion for animals and their well-being sets me apart form other sitters that may only be participating for the money involved in the work. I’m working a few part time jobs which leaves at least 15 hours a week that I would be able to care for pets in need of love and attention. There are two friendly dogs in the house, plenty of toys, and a large fenced in back yard. There are also comfortable crates for the dogs if necessary

About: I’ve been caring for animals for most of my life and have experience with a wide variety of pets, including dogs, cats, and other small animals. I understand that every animal has a unique personality and routine, and I always strive to provide patient, attentive, and compassionate care. In addition to years of pet sitting for friends and family, I also volunteered with 4 Paws for Ability from 2016 through 2021, where I helped socialize and assist with the training of future service dogs. This experience taught me the important of consistency, positive reinforcement, and understanding animal behavior. I also volunteered at the Columbus Zoo in 2016. I currently have a 5-year-old Holland Lop rabbit named Strawberry, and I also helped raise and train my family’s Miniature Bernedoodle named Clover. Caring for animals has always been a major part of my life, and I truly enjoy building trust with pets and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I also have experience caring for senior dogs and pets with special needs, including administering oral/topical medications and providing extra patience, attention, and support for older animals who may need a calmer approach or more individualized care. I also hold a bachelors degree in Biology, which has strengthened my understanding of animal behavior, healthcare and overall care. I’m currently a graduate student with a fairly flexible schedule. I work part-time Monday through Wednesday, and many of my classes are online or held in the evenings, which allows me to remain responsive and available throughout much of the day. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting during both weekdays and weekends, and I do my best to accommodate different schedules and routines whenever possible. I understand how important communication and reliability are when trusting someone with your pets, so I prioritize prompt responses, consistent updates, and dependable care to help owners feel comfortable and informed while they’re away. Your pets safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I understand that every animal has different needs, routines, and comfort levels, and I take the time to ensure they feel safe, respected, and cared for while you’re away. I always aim to maintain a calm, positive environment and follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise routines, and any special accommodations your pet may need. I also believe communication is extremely important, so I provide regular updates and photos to help owners feel reassured while their pets are in my care. Whether caring for energetic puppies, senior pets, shy cats, or animals with unique routines, I strive to create a trustworthy and stress-free experience for both pets and their owner.
