Dog Walking Ridgeville

About: I have always had a dog in my life, which has given me a lifelong love for caring for animals. I enjoy playing with dogs, taking them on walks, and making sure they feel happy and comfortable. What sets me apart is that I treat every dog like family, not just as a job. I make sure their needs are met and that they feel safe, loved, and cared for at all times. I am also very patient with shy or nervous dogs and take the time to help them feel comfortable and build trust. I plan on dog sitting/ walking during all my breaks from school. I am free everyday during those breaks. The only thing that would get in my way is volleyball practices, but these are only 2 hours and not a daily thing. I make sure the pet feels comfortable around me and welcomes me into their house. If the pet is at my house I will also be welcoming and make sure they adapt to the environment.

About: I grew up with animals and as a parent now love to share my love of animals With my children. I am Flexible and willing to be as accommodating as I possibly can for all the pet owners seeking assistance with their pets. I do this because I know how scary it can be leaving your pet somewhere and not knowing. I also know how scary it can be to leave your pet while you are away. I do my best to stay in contact with all my clients and offer plenty of photos. I am very versatile and have experience with a lot of different pets. I am active and love bringing the pets I care for along with me for walks or out around town (as long as the clients are comfortable) I want their experience in my home and with me to mimic their normal every day routine in their home. I feel that lessens their anxiety. It’s incorporated into my daily as I make adjustments. Normally if I need to go somewhere I am sure that I understand from the owners if their pet is able to stay out or if they would prefer that their pet be put in a safe place so they don’t decide to become mischievous while I run errands. I also offer the opportunity for them to come with me if they enjoy car rides. Again what’s most important to me is keeping the pets routine as closely aligned to their normal routine at home. In order to ensure that the pets I care for are happy and healthy while in my care I am sure to get a clear understanding of how their routine normally works and I ensure that I align their routine at my house to that. This helps alleviate anxiety and fear when being in a new place.

About: My husband Jeff and I have 2 dogs and no kids. Our dogs are our kids! Our dogs are about 2 years old and get along well with other dogs. Both of us grew up with dogs and have had dogs that are both young and senior. We give our dogs lots of time and attention. We are responsible pet owners and believe in keeping them healthy, loved, safe, and part of our pack! I am retired and my husband works part-time so one of us is almost always home to care for your pet(s). If we are gone for a few hours, our dogs are caged in the house. Usually, it is if we go out for dinner or the store, so it's for short periods. If your dog does not do caging, that's ok as long as they are good! We have a large fenced yard. Our 6 foot privacy fence also has wire mesh at the bottom of the fence to make sure dogs are safe and can't get out (or other animals get in). Our dogs are about 3 years old and get along well with other dogs. They love to play and are free to move in the house and the yard, and they get regular walks. Dogs are allowed on furniture. We would love to be your pet sitter while you are away, and you can be confident your doggie will be happy, safe and loved!

About: I have been taking care of pets for 10 years now. My passion for animals boosted in 2013 when I started helping a nonprofit animal rescue. Since then I have fostered animals, became a pet sitter for past fosters and worked in animal care. I’m currently a full-time student at the University of Cincinnati, but have flexibility throughout the day to provide the best care for your babies. I am available most weekends as well. I will treat your pet with the respect and love they deserve. I provide care at the pace your furry friend is comfortable with, to ensure they have the best care possible. I have experience in working with all sorts of different personalities from anxious and nervous to happy-go-lucky. I stride to treat each pet like they are my own and provide them with the care to put your worries to ease.

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was a kid, considering our house has always been a zoo lol. I love fur babies and I will absolutely send you way to many pics. I currently work at my winter job but in the summer times I always pet sit for my neighbors for extra money, so i am available a lot. I will always make sure your pet is fed and happy. Comfort of an animal is my top priority, especially when there owner is away.

About: I grew up doing 4H with all different types of animals. I also lived on a farm growing up. I have experience with breeding English Mastiffs and caring for rescue puppies and momma. I would love to add pet care into my daily work routine. I have a part tome job that is super flexible if needed so I can be available to work around your needs.

About: I have cared for pets of my own since I was 5 and have been pet sitting cats and dogs of all ages and sizes since I was 13 for family friends. I am a college student and I pet sit over the summer, and holiday breaks throughout the year. I am available for daily drop-in’s throughout the week and on weekends. Morning/Night Check-ins would be easiest for me but I would be happy to visit more frequently if need be! Also, I can sit and play with your pet for a few hours if you’d prefer that! I have 2 pets of my own so I would prefer to care for your pets in your home! I would come to your house as frequent as you’d like throughout the day.

“Joya was fantastic with Bear. He is a big strong dog and she handled him just fine. I appreciate how much she loves Bear already and they just met.”

About: I've had & taken care of cats & dogs since I was 7 years old! Over the past 5 years I've moved into caring for the pets of other's just as a favor to friends & family. Now I want to leave corporate America & care for furry family members professionally. I'm currently working on making pet sitting my full time job so my availability is completely open for around the clock care whether your pet is an early riser or a night owl! I prefer to care for pets in their own space as I have roommates at this time & our landlord doesn't allow pets on property.

“Jennifer is great with our puppy Boomer! She is a great communicator and goes above and beyond to clean up Boomer's crate messes and takes time to love on him during every visit! She's easy to communicate with and always responds super quickly!”

“Risa was great! Communicates in a timely manner and was willing to come meet our pup prior to our scheduled day since it was his first time with her.”

About: I have my own chihuahua Saydee. She is 8 years old. I love being around other dogs as well, they bring me joy and happiness. I have open availability on the weekends. Weekday availability after 6 pm. Feel free to message me with questions or book with me! I would love to take care of your pup! With the given instructions on the care for your pet I can follow the daily routine. Potty, food, and will give plenty of play time.

About: 5 years ago I fell in love with my dog Shiba Foxy, she is literally my best friend. I have trained her to be such a good family dog. With maybe a little to much begging for food, but we are not perfect! Other than that I have raised 4 kids and a cat! So what can go wrong? After a very busy life of working in the finance industry and being a district manager in the outside field, I took a step back and now work in a director position working from home. I find myself needing a bit more. I also love things that don't talk back, like kids. hehe. In my home we have a fully fenced in yard. Foxy in leashed in harnessed on walks at all times. It's important to abide by the guidelines that the customer wants you to follow, if they want their animals in a crate with food or treats then prefect. If they don't then that is what you follow.

About: I was born an animal lover. From growing up with a family dog to volunteering at the Humane Society to working as an Equine Therapy Intern, I have experience caring for animals of all kinds. Animals are a very important part of my life and always will be. I recently graduated from college and moved back home to save up for grad school. As of right now, I am fully available to care for your pets any time! The most important thing about pet care for me is taking the time to build a relationship with them. Just like us, every animal has their own personality, quirks, and boundaries. It takes way more than just taking them on a walk or letting them outside to build trust and truly care for them the way they deserve to be cared for.

About: - I am Cat and Dog First Aid and CPR certified. (Through the American Red Cross). - I'm currently in classes for a CCPDT dog trainer certification. - Volunteered at the Clark County Animal Welfare League. Trained on several walking procedures for the past several years. This also allowed me to handle several different types of dogs and personalities. - My wife (shown in picture) will also be available to assist. Two people for the price of 1!. I am a full time Math Teacher and my wife is a full time school psychologist. During the week we go to work around 7 am, and are home by 3:30 pm. We are available most weekends to devote our full time and attention to dogs. During the summertime, we are available all the time! My wife or I offer the ability or flexibility to care for your canine in your home if available. We will adapt to whatever your animals needs and routines. If there is a training service you'd like implemented, you just let us know! (Walk training, feeding, etc..). At our home during boarding we allow dogs on all furniture (including beds) if that is something you are ok with! There is a backyard where the animal can be let out to use the restroom. Several parks nearby and dog parks to exercise the dog. A basement and extra bedroom where the dog could be crated (we have a large crate suitable for all dog types). If not crate trained, that works as well. I am capable of working with any type of dog behavior so far in my career regardless of size or situation. My wife is excellent with with medium dogs that are high energy.

For the summer, I am off, so I have a very flexible schedule. I am unable to care for pets in my home, but I can come to your home so your pets do not need to adjust to a new schedule and home.

She is almost a year old and the absolute love of my life. 🥰 I want your pet to feel just as loved as mine during my visits. I have extensive experience with cats, kittens, dogs, and rabbits. Growing up my family always had a pet (sometimes multiple!) and we were always caring for sick or injured animals. I am a huge animal lover because of this and could not imagine not having a furry best friend. 🐈 I look forward to hearing about your own fur baby and how I can best care for them! Thank You. Animals I are for: -Dogs and puppies -Cats and kittens - Rabbits, hamsters and guinea pigs - small aquatic animals Starting June 29th, I will be available during the week, weekends, and evenings if required.

Having a routine will be greatly appreciated when I watch your fur babies, so let me know what they love (and don’t love) to do.
