Dog Walkers in Riceland, OH

About: Retired vet. I’ve cared for and been around dogs/cats for as long as I can remember. I also worked at a pet store during my 4 years of high school. I currently work part time Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights. Sometimes not all three of those days. Work is on Burbank and close to home. We currently have 2 dachshunds, and looking to have a corgi in the near future. We take them out for daily walks, and have an open area with leads.

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!

About: I have taken care of both dogs and cats for over 20 years. I frequently have watched pets for friends and family. I have trained four puppies and have experience caring for elderly pets. I am off from work during the summer months and am able to provide loads of play time for your pets. I am available seven days a week. I have a fenced-in backyard that is almost an acre in total for your pets to play in. I also have two friendly, playful dogs that are great with cats.

“Alicia did an amazing job walking our dogs almost daily. She gave them lots of attention and made sure they were tired out. She went out of her way to accommodate any special times or needs. I would highly recommend Alicia to anyone needing a dog walker. She’s great! Michele”

“Jenny was fantastic! She was very flexible and professional. She took wonderful care of my dog. I came back from a trip and he was very happy and relaxed. She was easy to work with, great with my pets, and followed all my directions perfectly. I definitely plan to use her again. So happy to have found an awesome dog walker!”

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.

About: I have house / dog/ and cat sit for neighbors and friends for many years and am looking forward to meet you and your pets!! Available briefing in mornings but mainly in afternoons, evenings to check on whatever needed and am always near Wooster for anything that may come up. I have watched several houses/ pets over the years and am always very conscientious about when arriving to homes/ leaving for safety, security and keeping a close eye on pets.

About: I am a mom to 5 kids, a dog and a cat. I have been a pet owner since I was a kid, I can't remember the last time I didn't have a pet. I am the primary caretaker of a border collie lab mix and mixed breed cat. I am preschool administrator in the area, so I can be flexible throughout the week and have lots of love to share with your furry family members. I am also active and will run, walk or play to help release your pets energy and love your pets while you are unable to. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member. If you have any questions feel free to get in contact with me.

About: I grew up in a home full of animals, including three boxers. I have taken care of them in their senior age so I also know what that may look like! I currently have three dogs of my own, all of which i’ve had since they were puppies, so I am aware of what puppy care/training can look like as well! I currently work overnight, and am home all day. My schedule is 9pm-9am so I am home from around 9:30am-8:30pm. My significant other is on first shift, so he is home during the night! I have a fenced in yard, and three pups to keep yours company! Since I am home all day, they can have potty breaks and freedom as much as they’d like! If I do have to run an errand it is normally not for more than 2 hours, but if your pup needs crated, I can easily do that! There is a spare room that if they need some down time or you’d prefer them to be alone at any point, they can just hangout in there! We have them on relatively the same schedule everyday. Wake up around 9, go outside and play, eat around 10, then we can play all day! They eat again around 7pm. If you need me to come watch your pup in your home I have also done that numerous times!

About: I have had multiple experiences dog and cat sitting over the last 5 years. Both with younger and older pets. I have done check-ins and overnight stays to ensure the wellbeing of the animal/pet being looked after. I also have lived with 2 young dogs for the last few months, and before that with older dogs as well. I currently work on a farm so from 6:30am-8am in the morning and then 5pm-8pm in the evenings. Other than that my schedule is very open. Additionally there is flexibility in those hours if needed. I treat animals with respect and care. Showing them love in the same way their owners would. I take my time making sure their needs are looked after in each visit, along with spending time with them as needed as well.

“We had to go out of town for two weeks and leave our 13 year old lab at home with a relative. Sylvia came to the house to feed, give meds, take walks with her and give her the attention, that she craved. Sylvia sent us pictures and videos of their time together. She adjusted her schedule to give additional help when needed. We were at ease knowing our dog was in such capable hands. We highly recommend Sylvia.”

“Alexis has been an excellent help when health concerns prevented us from walking our dog.”

I am going to grad school at Ohio State and just looking for some sweet animals to take care of! I really enjoy spending time with them and my schedule is very flexible outside of my classes.

Although I do not have a fenced in back yard, I will make sure they get adequate outdoors time in a safe environment away from busy roads and on a leash.

About: I've taken care of animals for most of my life. I'm an animal lover of all kinds. I've had cats, dogs, hamsters, & birds. Nothing makes me happier than to see a happy animal! Always looking forward to meeting new furry friends!

Play time is something both of us would enjoy. Additionally, I will provide updates with pictures if you would like.

“Alexandra is a very nice person. We felt like we knew her right away. She was very concerned on doing things they way you asked she actually took notes. I knew right away my dog would be in safe hands as well as our home. Will definitely use her services again.”

About: I have raised my dog from birth and now in his senior years. I enjoy petting and walking and the bonding . I work from home so they will had a good companion to be wit them while you're away. I am home daily and will enjoy your pet staying near by. We take outside breaks in the morning, afternoon and evening. I also find play time and lots of petting. I walk my dog on a leash and will do the same for yours. You can board your pet at my home or I can visit in yours.

About: As someone who travels regularly, I understand the burden of finding someone who will love my pets as much as I do. Having grown up with dogs and cats of all sizes, behaviors, and demands I can assure you I’ll make your beloved pets feel safe and happy while you’re away! (I’ve provided care for puppies, diabetic dogs, senior dogs, large breed dogs, and in multi-animal homes) While my schedule as a student can be demanding, I will always prioritize time in my week to spend with pups. To ensure positive meet ups, I rely on good communication with my clients and prefer scheduling a few days ahead of time! To promote a smooth transition for your pet, I will prioritize the routine you’ve already established with them (favorite times and locations to eat, walk, play). As a guest in your home and life, I feel it’s very important to respect any and all rules you’ve set for your animals.
