Dog Walking Rootstown

“Parris is a natural with animals. She stepped in with my rescue dog when I needed some extra help walking him. She was patient with him and understood that he would need time to trust her. It is obvious as soon as you meet Parris that she is experienced, confident and has a genuine love for animals. I highly recommend Parris for your pet needs especially if you have a pet that is challenging.”

About: I have handled small animals and reptiles for 9 years, cats and dogs for 7, and horses and livestock for 6! I have a variety of experience with many different breeds with many different temperaments. There isn’t much I can’t handle! I currently only work part time at a local rescue/shelter so I have some time on my hands! I have my own car that I don’t mind getting some fur and dirt in, so if your pups are a fan of hikes or just want to go on an adventure that’s no problem for me! I take animal care and welfare very seriously, my babies get water and food dishes scrubbed daily, proper diet tailored to their needs, whatever exercise they require, and all the attention they could ever ask for! I will treat your pets as if they were my own, keeping a clean, happy, healthy environment for them!

“Kelli was reliable, flexible with our schedule, and great communication - I would recommend her!”

“Our pups had a great first day with Mackenzie. She arrived on time and sent a good amount of photos. 10/10 would recommend and book again.”

About: I’ve cared for my own pets as well as pets belonging to family and friends for many years. This has included daily feeding, exercise, administering basic medications when needed, grooming, cleanup, and providing lots of attention and affection. I’m comfortable following detailed instructions and keeping pet parents updated with photos and messages. Pet care fits well into my routine because I have a flexible schedule and can dedicate time to giving pets the attention they deserve. Whether it’s walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, or companionship, I’m committed to providing reliable care and keeping pets comfortable while their owners are away. I understand that every pet is unique and has their own routine, personality, and needs. I take the time to follow care instructions carefully, maintain a safe environment, and treat every pet as if they were my own. I believe in clear communication and will provide updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is receiving attentive, loving care.

About: Growing up, my grandma owned her own pet sitting business. She taught me to love animals as another member of a family! I have pet sat for my family many times over the past couple of years. I love all animals and I am excited to take care of ones I don’t interact with very often. That being said, I am most experienced with dogs. Having one of my own with severe separation anxiety, I know that when checking on a dog I should play with them and sit with them until their energy level is subdued! I am currently a senior in college, and my classes are more relaxed than they have ever been! I’m excited to have plenty of time in the day to check in on pets and take them for walks! My classes end in the early afternoon every day. I would love to spend time with your pets indoor or outdoor! My car is pet-friendly, so if your pet prefers walks in parks I would love to accommodate!

About: I am American Red Cross certified for Cat and Dog First Aid. I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs for a little over 10 years, though have grown up with pets in the house for my entire life. I have experience with pets little and big, young and old, as well as a range of personalities and energy levels. I have provided care to dogs belonging to family, friends, neighbors, and even teachers and I have loved each pet as if it were my own. I have experience administering different medications including allergy meds, pills, and joint supplements. I’m currently a full time undergraduate student (studying pre-med 😄) so I have flexibility in my schedule to care for pets. I am available for drop in visits and walks during the day! I do not offer pet care in my home, while I do have pets of my own they do not do well with new animals so in interest of keeping both my pets and yours happy and safe I only offer services through the client’s home. The care I provide for pets inside of the client’s home will be a combination of the instructions provided by the client so that I can provide the pets with their unique routines and my unconditional love and respect for their boundaries and needs. I love taking pets on walks, easing their stress, giving them lots of belly rubs, and making sure they eat all of their food and drink plenty of water!

About: I have had dogs my whole life. I currently own a Catahoula Leopard dog and an Australian Cattle dog. I have been dog sitting since I was 14 and love taking care of/ walking dogs. I am currently a college student on summer break so I have a completely free schedule. I am free to walk or pet sit any time! I have a fenced in yard and two friendly dogs who are well socialized. My dogs are 4 and 1 years old and are medium sized dogs.

About: I have always loved animals since I was a kid. Once I was 12 I started bathing and grooming dogs, which then lead me to watch animals overnight. The longest I have taken care of pets was a two week long period. I am very responsible, timely, and have a dog of my own. I have experience with dogs of all ages and sizes, and even some training experience as well. I am currently a part time worker, and full time college student with mostly online classes. I am available to do mostly everyday of the week as long as I am known in advance. I believe animals will treat us just as we treat them or better. My dog is my best friend (we even have matching pjs). I understand the deep love people have for their pets and I respect and plan to love and care for their pets just as much. I am gentle, patient, and understand animal language very well.

About: I love dogs. I have three at home. I would say I am well mannered and patient as well as attentive to their needs. I’ve had many experiences pet sitting and understand the expectations that are required to care for fur babies. I hope you will consider me! I currently don’t have a full-time job so I’m free anytime and for anything pet parents might need for their fur babies! Please consider me! Having multiple pets in my own home makes cleaning more of a chore so I try to keep everything as clean as possible. My dogs are on an invisible fence and have the whole yard to roam but I still try and play with them as much as I can. I would say I am a cleanly person and would help animals in any way I can!

“Kari is great with my 2 large and crazy pups. Always flexible with walk times and definitely is a huge help.”

About: I’ve been watching dogs since I was 16. I love dogs of all sizes and have cared for both seniors and puppies. I strive to make sure all dogs under my care are happy and comfortable! I am currently working part-time over the summer and love to spend my free time outdoors, especially hanging out with dogs! I will have plenty of availability. I am in a pet free apartment over the summer so I cannot offer in-home care where I live, however I will be readily available for walking throughout the week!

About: I can sit and board during any holiday! I am new to the site, so that is why I do not have any reviews. I try to respond in less than thirty minutes. In the evening, I usually respond within a few minutes. I walk on a daily basis personally and am used to taking dogs on walks at least a few times a day. I have worked with all different breeds and do my research on breed specifications before taking care of any animal. I have helped taken care of animals that have to receive oral and injections daily. I have taken care of all ages of animals from babies to seniors. I have owned dogs, cats, Guinea pigs, and rabbits. I currently do not own any animals, so that I can focus on your pets. I do usually send updates/pictures during the time your pet is with me, so that you know how they are doing I work as a nurse full time Monday through Friday. I started work usually no earlier than 745 am and am done no later than 5 pm. I have an hour long lunch break. I board on weekends so that I can be with your animal 24/7. I can dog sit throughout the week and dogs will receive a morning and evening walk as well as a lot of love and affection. I can do dog walking in the evening and if you live in the Fairlawn/Montrose area, I can do drop in visits between 12 pm-1 pm. I keep my availability up to date on this calendar as well. I live in a two bedroom apartment, but I live near a dog park I can take them to and can take them out every hour or two during the weekend if the board with me. I would take them on at least one walk minimum whether staying at my apartment or taking care of them at yours. The walks can vary from an half an hour to an hour or more depending on the dog and how your dog is feeling. I always ask their feeding schedule and an dietary restrictions. At my home, I have intellectual toys as well as just typical toys. If allowed, dogs and cats are more than welcome to sleep in bed with me. I allow animals on my furniture and have locks on cabinets to ensure they cannot get anything to harm them. I keep treats and food at my apartment. For walks, I have a hands free leash that goes around waist, so that way there is not a chance that the leash slips out of my hands.

“I was very skeptical about using one of these apps. But I came across Frank and he is incredible. I am using him on a weekly base now, almost daily and even twice. Hes cleaned the cat boxes with out asking, he has kept me up to date with pictures and all. I had to make a cancelation today with know problem. Highly recommend him!”

About: Hello! Ive been taking care of dogs since I was 7 years old. I have loads of experience in walking and sitting for friends and family. Seniors and puppies are welcome!! I work part time, and I am in school part time (I only have one in-person class), so my schedule has many gaps in it. I’ll always greet them, say hello for a minute, Then I’ll let them outside and I’ll make sure they use the restroom. After that, I’ll refill their water and play with them until its time to go, or time for a different activity.
