Dog Walking Riverlea

“I can't say enough about Abby! My dog is pretty shy and fussy about who he makes friends with. Not when it came to Abby! They bonded almost instantly and became great walking buddies from day one. She takes him on various routes and mixes up the scenery. With the heat wave we've been having, she's used good judgement and prudence on how far the walks should go and always brings water and bowl for Sparky to hydrate. I always look forward to her notes and pics after each walk too. Overall experience: Top notch 100% Five Star Plus! You rock Abby!”

About: I’ve spent most of my life caring for animals and truly see pets as family. Over the years, I’ve raised several dogs from puppies through their senior years, including my beloved cocker-poodle mix, Japhy, who lived an amazing 19 years. When Japhy was young, we spent countless hours playing frisbee, exploring trails, and going on adventures together. As he aged, I lovingly supported him through vision and hearing loss, giving him the patience, comfort, and care he needed in every stage of life. Four years ago, we welcomed our Bernedoodle, Juniper, into our family, along with two kittens who showed up as strays on our front porch. My wife and I worked hard to rescue and care for abandoned kittens, making sure they felt safe, loved, and at home. I’m known for having a calm, grounded energy that animals naturally respond to. Even dogs who are shy or nervous around people often feel comfortable sitting beside me and relaxing in my presence. In addition to pet care, I’m also a Reiki Master, and part of my professional work includes offering energetic healing to both animals and people. I bring that same gentle, intuitive, and attentive care to every pet I meet. I currently work for myself and help my wife run our Healing Center. I create my own schedule and have plenty of time to get to know and care for your pet ! I see animals as part of the family, and I care for them with the same love, attention, and responsibility I would give my own children. We prioritize the best nutrition, hygiene, and overall care for our pets. Although we have a fenced yard, we never just let our dog out alone — we always stay outside with her, play with her, and make sure she’s safe and comfortable. We also walk our dog 2–3 times a day to keep her active, happy, and well cared for. I would provide that same level of care, attention, and safety for any dog or cat entrusted to me.

About: Welcome to my profile! My name is Emily. I am a wife, a pediatric nurse & newly a mom to a beautiful baby girl. I also have two silly cats named Greta & Beatrice. My life has always involved animals. I grew up with several cats & dogs in my home and love both of them! I am reliable, attentive, and treat every pet with the same care I would give my own. I have hands-on experience with puppies, senior dogs, and pets who need medication or extra attention. I stick to your routines, watch for the little details, and keep you in the loop with updates so you always know your pet is safe and happy. Hope to hear from you soon & work closely with you and your fur baby! I’m currently on maternity leave with my new baby girl! When I return to work at the hospital in September it will be very part time, so I will have plenty of time to walk, watch or check in on your pets! I am able to be flexible with you & your pets routine! I am happy to come to your home to check in on your pets or walk your dog!

“Janasha did a great job taking care of Hudson while we were out of town! She was very pleasant, dependable and communicative! She sent us pictures from their walks and little updates about how everything went! Will definitely book again!”

About: Growing up my family home felt like a mini nature preserve, surrounded by everything from birds, turtles, frogs, fish, guinea pigs, to cats, dogs, and chickens. That lifelong connection to nature and animals is what led me to pet sitting today. I’m happy to bring that experience to my neighbors here in Central Clintonville. While I am currently building my professional footprint on Rover, I bring a highly detail-oriented approach to every visit. I am especially comfortable with cats and small dogs, as I understand the gentle handling and extra supervision they often require. You can count on me to follow your pet's specific routine with the same thoroughness and care I’ve given my own for years. I work from home 3 weeks a month, 9-5pm. To Central Clintonville residents, I can provide drop-in visits and walks a couple times a day from the hours of 6am to 10pm. Because I have two senior cats, who require a predictable, low-stress environment, I cannot provide boarding services at this time. I can, however, provide drop-in visits a couple times a day. I can provide drop-ins and walks.

“Elizabeth is amazing. Extremely reliable, prompt communication and easily handles any obstacle. Highly recommended and very trustworthy. I selfishly hope others don't find her so she is always available...”

About: Our family loves dogs! We love to play out back with them and take them on walks. They will get lots of exercise and love at our house! There is someone home throughout the day to take care of their needs. Our whole family helps to care for dogs. There is almost always someone at the house even during the week. That means lots of attention and love! We have a good sized yard with a 6 foot fenced. We have 4 kids from elementary school to college and they love playing with dogs too. We will take family walks in our beautiful neighborhood with all of our furry friends. We are home most of the day and spend a lot of time with your dog. This means we will have the time to go for a long walk. We treat all pets like we would treat our own. So they are like family. We give them plenty of love and play time outside.

About: I have been a pet shelter volunteer for the past 5 years. I am passionate about my furry friends and will always treat your baby as my own! I work part time and have lots of daily availability to drop in or provide walks, with notice I am available for boarding and overnight stays! I have a low stress home environment, no kids, no other animals. A full unfenced yard - i live close to a park so I am always walking and would be delighted to take pups for walks.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my combination of reliability, patience, and hands-on experience with a wide range of pets. I have worked with energetic puppies who need consistent training and structure, as well as senior dogs who require extra gentleness, attention, and care. I’m comfortable administering medications, following specific routines, and adjusting to each pet’s unique personality and needs. Beyond basic care, I bring strong communication skills—I keep owners updated so they feel confident their pets are happy and safe. My background working with animals in different settings has made me adaptable, attentive, and proactive, whether that means reinforcing good habits with puppies, providing comfort for older pets, or managing groups of dogs. I currently work at a pet care facility, so caring for animals is already part of my daily routine. Outside of my shifts, I’m available to provide pet sitting and drop-in visits, which allows me to stay flexible while continuing to do something I love. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all feeding, playtime, and medication instructions exactly as provided, and I make sure to give extra attention to their favorite spots and habits—whether that’s a window perch, a certain toy, or a bedtime routine. I keep the home tidy, refresh food and water regularly, and make sure the litter box (or yard for dogs) is clean and comfortable. I also provide updates and photos so owners feel connected while they’re away.

About: I've lived with pets my whole life and have found a passion for caring for animals with the same love you have for them! I specialize in cats of all ages and dogs over the age of one. I've had about 5 years of experience in working with anxious dogs who are scared of everything - very used to taking a long time to grt scaredy dogs outside. With that, I'm very experienced in delivering medications or cleaning up messes. I understand how stressed our fur babies feel when we need to leave them and my main goal is to make them as comfortable as absolutely possible. I work full time Monday-Friday but do have some work from home days during the week. I would be more than happy to visit your home during the day for walks or quick take outs! I am also happy to come visit you and your fur babies at anytime to get a better idea of your schedule. I am working on getting Fear Free certified and would be more than happy to provide that certification once acquired. I would be happy to crate your pets if needed. I'll send plenty of photos and updates throughout my visit!

About: I've taken care of family dogs, both large and small, since around age twelve. In high school I also cared for a bird, as well as part of my adulthood. In early adulthood I worked for three years as a professional dog handler and dog walker for a company in New York City. I am accustomed to reading dogs body language and keeping them safe and feeling secure. I've lived with cats in more recent years and have consistently been hired to cat sit for neighbors. I am comfortable with elder pets, administering medications, and helping anxious pets feel more comfortable at home and out in the world. I also have some experience with smaller mammals (rabbits, guinea pigs, domestic rats) as well as some farm animals. I am a full-time grad student, so my schedule is much more flexible than a 9-5 worker. That said, at the moment I can only take care of pets who can be alone for at least four hours at a time during the week because of my class schedule (weekends I'm more flexible). You can depend on me to safely enter and exit your home with care for security and cleanliness, and I'd always touch base with you for any concerns. I'm also disabled by long-COVID and take many COVID mitigations (still masking), so I'd be safer for immunocompromised clients. For drop-in visits and popping into your home for a dog walk, I will be masked. For pet sitting overnight, I'm always happy to take a COVID test—just let me know!

About: I grew up taking care of friends and neighbors pets while they're on vacations and still do. Our family adopted a cat named Lisa in 2023, and I love taking care of animals. I currently have plenty of time over the summer to do pet care since I'm on break from college. I also mow lawns for people around Worthington, but am easily able to decide what times I want. I stick closely to each pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, exercise, and any special instructions, so they feel at ease. I focus on keeping pets in their familiar environment to reduce stress, and make sure the home stays secure and tidy.
