Dog Walking in Sharon Line-McGuffey Heights, Youngstown, OH

About: I’m a former first responder and military veteran. 25+ years of hands-on experience caring for dogs from playful pups to seniors and special needs pets. I’ve worked with breeds from tiny Chihuahuas to giant Cane Corsos and English Mastiffs, and I’ve given both oral meds and injections when needed. I picked up practical dog handling skills during my time in the military, and I’ve raised and trained my own pets since I was a kid. Today, I share life with my own sweet dog, and every pet I care for gets the same love, patience, and respect I give my own. Whether they need structure, snuggles, or just someone calm and steady, I’m here to make them feel safe and happy. I’m home full time and available most hours of the day including weekends. I can easily fit into your pet’s routine. Whether your pets needs a lunchtime potty break, morning walk, or evening snuggles, I’m here when you need me. I provide a pet-friendly environment in a great neighborhood just minutes from Mill Creek Park (3 min) and the dog park (10 min). Whether I’m in my home or yours, I focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and cared. I follow any instructions closely, keep routines consistent, and always give each pup the patience and love they deserve.

“Extremely responsive to any and all communication. Informative, adaptive, and thorough. Upon my ring camera footage, I can tell my doggo loves the walks with Bridgette. I am very pleased start to finish with her work and dedication to my dogs safety and comfort. I will continue to book and I suggest you do too!”

About: I have had a dog most of my adult life and my husband, Andrew has always had cats. We currently have a 13 year old cat, Who is extremely friendly to people and stays away from dogs. We just recently moved to Poland from Cincinnati to be closer to family. We are entrusted to watch our family’s pets when they are out of town and love and adore all guest pets in our home as if they were another part of our family. I can provide basic training I have learned over the years and can administer meds. I have a 12 year old child full-time and Andrew has a 15 and 17 year old that are with us half of the time and are very patient and gentle towards animals but your pup MUST get along with children. All of our kids have extreme affection, gentleness and patience towards all animals and live their lives at home revolving around the animals. Because of the children we do not allow Pitt bulls, Chows or Dalmatian breeds in the home. All pets must be completely secure around children or unfortunately we don’t think your loved one will be comfortable in our home. If your pup ends up showing any type of aggression towards the children, they will need to be picked up or run the risk of being crated with minimal time out of the crate, until your return. Your pet must be up to date on vaccines and must be of at least 2 years of age. My career is in IT and I work from home full-time so I will be home all day to keep your pet company. Andrew works remote as a Communications Director for a local church and also shuffles being an online student so there is almost always someone home to be with your loved one! Your dog will enjoy daily walks, or a run if they can run on a leash with me. I live in a quiet neighborhood next to the Poland Forest with a sidewalk about 10-20 ft from the road with little car traffic. We may take some adventures through the woods, as well. Depending on the stay length and dirt accumulation I will also give your pups baths to keep them smelling fresh! We spend a lot of time at home and will be able to provide your pet plenty of attention! This also allows us to be flexible with your schedule. I do not have a fenced in yard so your pet will be supervised when using the restroom. Your pet will get plenty of playtime with our kids and will have a couch, dog bed or our bed to sleep on. Whichever he/she prefers.

About: I have had dogs all my life, mostly German Shepards, the one I currently have I was there helping the mom to give birth! She is also very well trained! I know it’s hard to leave them so let me give you peace of mind! I am looking to help those who may be working mornings Monday -Friday. I would be available as early at 7 but no later than 5 I will keep your fury friend company, sending pictures to you to give reassurance and take care of any other needs your pet may have!

About: I have taken care of family pets since I was young. As I grew older, I adopted my own pets and have volunteered in animal shelters as well. I have always had dogs and cats in my life and it has grown to guinea pigs and a bearded dragon. I'm able to give baths, do walks, and bathroom breaks and provide ample amounts of play time. I am available for Labor Day weekend! I am also a full time stay at home mother so currently all of my days and times of the week are free and open, even weekends. I let all of my animals on my furniture if they want in my home. They all have their special homes and spots where they can be in peace until they come out with the rest of the family. My home is kept clear of dangerous items, tiny small toys for example that pets might eat.

“Cara was great with Darby. He takes a little to warm up to people and she didn't give up on him. After a slow start they made it out for their walk and he did well with her.”

“She was awesome with my little guy. At first he was being a stinker and hid under the bed and barked, I told her she could go and not worry about it. Then I get a picture message of him walking outside fine. Definitely took the time and had the patience to work with Orion to build that trust. Definitely, definitely highly recommend. She is amazing!”

About: I don’t remember a time in my life that I wasn’t taking care of animals! Whether it be while growing up or starting to dogsit/walk in high school, there was never a time a fur baby wasn’t relying on me. And I wouldn’t have it any other way! I have a flexible schedule which allows me to help out with my friends and families animals, as well as volunteer for local animal shelters. I have experience with dogs of all ages and levels of care. I know how difficult it can be to trust someone with your pet (I have used Rover myself when I go out of town) so I assure you I will provide the kind of care and attention to your pet that I would want given to my own! :) I’m currently working part time. My job offers flexible hours, so I have the opportunity to accommodate whatever schedule you and your pet require. :) I will happily go over what your pets routine is and abide by whatever you’re most comfortable with! If your dog is used to being walked at certain times, crated, etc. The well being and safety of your animal is my upmost concern so whatever you need me to do to guarantee that, is what I’ll do!

About: My name is Kyra. I grew up with animals my whole life. I have always loved all animals. And they always come to me naturally. I don’t look at it as a job. I see it as something I would enjoy. Animals have been a passion of mine for quite some time. I am currently going to college at the Animal Behavior College to become a Vet assistant. It has been an amazing experience so far and I can’t wait to see what my future holds for me. I hope that this can give me even more experience to continue making me a more rounded animal person. I like ok forward to helping anyone I can out and taking care of all of your animals.

About: Hi! I’m Cass. I have been a life long animal lover. I was often the child bringing home every stray cat and dog I found. When I became a Mom and my youngest son begged us to get a dog, I was so happy. We added Rocky to our family 12 years ago and he’s been my companion ever since. We also have two cats Domino and Luna to complete our family zoo! We’d love to have new furry friends and visitors to come on our family adventures and to play with. I work from home so I am available all day for pet care needs to be able to frequently feed and bathroom breaks along with some outdoor time I have a somewhat private back yard and I will be outside with your pet at all times while they get outdoor time and use the bathroom or I am able to go to your home and walk them in their environment. I also have a nice neighborhood block area that I am able to take breaks and walk your pet.

“Ava is a wonderful walker for our Callie. She takes time to walk and time to play. We definitely will call on her again! We highly recommend Ava!”

About: Hi there- my name is Destiny and I have been an avid animal lover since the day I was born. I have had cats and dogs within my care for as long as I can remember. I have taken in many stray cats and have got them neutered/ spayed and have found homes for them over the years. I believe that all animals are a true gift to us in this life. They are only here for a part of our lives but we are their whole life, so they deserve nothing but the utmost love given to them every day. I will treat your dogs/cats like they are my own. I currently work from home for my full time job, so I have adequate time to go on walks, play, and give your pet the attention it needs. I have a 2 bedroom apartment in Poland, Ohio, so I have many sidewalks and parks all by me to take your fur baby on all the walks and play times it needs. I do have a cat, but he is very sociable and friendly towards dogs.

“Cindy is very polite snd friendly. Stella Pug loved her! Cindy walked Stella and gave her treats for being good.”
