Dog Walkers in South Canal, OH

About: Hello!! I have been caring for all kinds of animals since growing up on a small farm as a child. We always had many different farm animals and lots of cats and dogs. As an adult I have always had at least a cat, and currently have 3 dogs and 4 cats...basically a small zoo hahaha. I am used to dogs of all sizes and temperaments. Currently, I have a 9 year old German Shepherd that weighs 120 pounds...he's a very gentle giant that we have had since he was a pup. He has bad knees(has had multiple surgeries) so I'm used to caring for his special needs and giving daily meds. (Pupdate on my 120 lb bff - I lost my baby boy pretty unexpectedly March 31, 2025- he had just turned 10. My heart was torn to shreds from his loss😭) We also have a 7.5 year old German Shepherd. She weighs 85 pounds and is a rescue with extreme anxiety. We call her our backyard/house dog only. It is where she is most comfortable so that's where she stays to fit her needs!! And last but not least, we rescued our baby girl almost a year ago. She is likely a lab mix and around 50 pounds/ 1.5 years old. She needs lots and lots of exercise and attention!! I am very familiar with puppies and the extra needs they require. I've also cared for really senior dogs as we lost our Lab boy of 14 years to cancer not long ago. I decided to look into doing this as we are always looking for someone reliable to help us out when we need to leave our animals. I realize they are not just part of your family...they are family and it's hard to leave them and be comfortable with it. I would love to meet you and your pets before we set up to determine that everyone is comfortable and compatible and to make your leaving them with me stress-free! I look forward to hearing from you! I am self employed and work mostly from home. My schedule is flexible and mine to make. I can make most anytime work! Look forward to hearing from you! I am currently unable to care for your pets in my home but I will take care of your pets In your home just as you wish me too! Detailed notes on the pets schedule, feedings, meds, etc work great!! House sitting rates may vary depending on your needs and wants for the care of your pet and your home. This will be discussed at the meet and greet!

About: Hi, I’m Steffi! I’m a reliable, calm, and attentive pet caregiver who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals and helping them feel safe and cared for while their humans are away. I have experience with dog walking and drop-in visits, and I’m especially mindful of following routines, instructions, and each pet’s individual needs. I’m patient, observant, and respectful of both pets and homes, and I prioritize clear communication and consistency. Whether your pet needs a walk, a check-in, feeding, or some extra company, I aim to provide care that feels steady, thoughtful, and stress-free. A pup that loves hikes or extensive plays will have a great time with me. Pups that enjoy lounging in the house are also no problem :) I have a bachelor's degree in business, I have been a flight attendant, a sales specialist, and a customer service rep. I prefer to spend my time outdoors as much as possible :) I am currently self-employed and am able to have a flexible schedule. I enjoy getting outside, whether that's with a pup or on my own! I do not accept dogs in my own home, but I am available and happy to care for your pet inside of your own home.

About: I would love to pamper your dog in providing a loving home-away-from-home with plenty of exercise. I live in the country on 13 acres with a large fenced in yard with plenty of room to run! I have been a traveling pet sitter for over 10 years and have taken great care of numerous dogs, cats, and even fish! I provide special care for senior dogs including cooking and preparing special meals as well as provide oral medication as needed. In addition, I provide a loving environment and believe that fur babies are more than just animals- they are part of the family!!! I am home all day and am flexible in my schedule. I look forward to welcoming your fur babies into my loving home!!! ❤️ I am fully retired and stay home all day to play and love up on your fur babies and give them my full attention! I love chasing them around outside when the weather permits and send lots of pictures to keep you informed. I have a fenced in yard and give lots of potty time as well as play time. I make my own dog treats and keep your dog on their regular eating schedule & diet that you prefer.

We always ensure that your babies have what they need…some extra time…some extra loves..we got you covered!!

“Jessica has now become our weekly dog walker and I cant express how thankful we are to have her! We have two dogs, one being a new puppy. We needed help with potty training/breaking up the day while we are at work and she has been extremely flexible and SO kind with our dogs. She sends detailed notes about time visited, which is extremely helpful with a new pup. Also, the best pictures of our dogs that give us an extra smile and laugh to get through our work day! Jessica has been amazing to us and our dogs!”

About: Hi, I'm Katie! I have an enormous heart for all animals, big or small. I understand that finding someone you (and your pet) can trust is difficult and stressful, however, I have no doubt that I can very well be that person for you! I have grown up with many different pets for as long as I can remember. My first "job" as a child was walking the neighborhood dogs, cleaning up yards of poo, and I also spent extra time at the horse stables I took lessons at helping out around the barn. I have a deep passion and connection with animals and really enjoy getting to know their personalities/quirks. (I also enjoy photography and love capturing smiles and fun moments to share while your pet is in my care.) I am very available and eager to fill my time with your fur (or non-fur) babies! Of course, I am willing to provide your pets with any special necessities they may need. My goal is to ensure your loved ones have the best time while in my care. Whether that is for a walk, drop in, or sleepover! Bringing your pets joy, brings me joy. I am currently working part time on a twilight shift. Typically my shifts are from 3am-9am. With this schedule I am available practically all day and will only be away for a few hours during the night. I typically enjoy going on walks around the neighborhood, near by walking trails, or trips to the dog park. While at home I like to practice/teach tricks, give an abundance of belly rubs and pets, and relax after a fun filled day. I believe it is very important to really understand each individual animals' personality to make sure they are comfortable and feel safe in any/all situations.

About: I am a new pet sitter. However, I have experience with my own pets, who were all vastly different from each other. A dachshund, a parrot, and a tarantula. I love all pets, even the unconventional ones. I can handle loud animals, including large parrots, and I’m very patient. I can wash and brush a dog if needed; I would do so for my dachshund on a weekly basis, and his vet commented on how great his skin and coat looked! I am available any day of the week, at any hour. My only other job is DoorDash, and I will make petsitting my primary work, so there is nothing that takes up time in my schedule. You can trust that I’m well grounded and will not call or text to bother you 24/7, unless you want me to. I’m adaptable and can solve minor problems on my own. I’m very easygoing, so I have no problem staying late, coming early, or pet sitting for multiple days in a row.

“Anna is terrific! My dog Opie loves her and she clearly loves Opie. Plus she knows so much about dogs and gives great advice. And she's fine to talk to. So , highest recommendation!”

About: I love meeting new animals and learning new things from them. I have been learning to train my own puppy for the past 2 years. I love helping animals and learning what works best for them! I am currently not working which leaves me with plenty of time to help others care for their own animals on a flexible schedule when needed! I am very comfortable coming and meeting new animals. I am understanding and open to taking care of your animals however you see best for them!

About: Hello! My name is Angela :) I love animals and taking care of them. I can be shy with people but with your fur babies i’m an open book:) I’ve had dogs most of my life and just pets in general. I have taken care of sick and senior animals as well. Currently no dogs or cats live in my home besides my lovely guinea pig max. I’m available any day with times in the early mornings and late nights and on the weekends I am very flexible! I’d love to take care of your dog(s) and/or kitties and be a part of their daily routine. Hopefully I can make their day and mine! If you have any questions or concerns you can contact me on my number or on the app. I hope you have a nice day/evening! (Background check is passed) I can visit your pet before and after my work schedule. I am also very flexible on the weekends or if you have any last minute changes. I have a guinea pig named max that I take care of every day! I make sure to greet animals with a smile on my face and a very calm manner. It can be scary for some pets to see a new face in the house when the owners are gone but I treat them just as well and make sure they are taken good care of before you come back :) I take safety processions and make sure they are always let outside if there is a fence or leash at the house and they are fed according to directions if needed.

About: All pets have my heart. I’ve cared for cats and dogs ever since I was five years old, from feeding and bathing them to simply keeping them company. I have an anxious little dog of my own, so I understand how important patience, routine, and gentle care can be—especially when administering medication or offering comfort. Every animal I meet is treated like family. Thank you for considering me to be a part of your pet sitting needs. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine because I have pets of my own. I make sure they’re walked, fed, and cared for. From early morning potty breaks to evening cuddle time, I’m used to sticking to a consistent routine. I also handle grooming, playtime, and administering medication when needed. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I follow their routine as closely as possible. Walks, , feedings, bathroom breaks, playtime, and rest are all done on schedule. I always pay attention to their behavior and body language so I can meet their needs, especially if they’re feeling anxious or shy. I clean up after them, keep their space tidy, and give lots of affection and attention. Every pet gets treated like family, no matter where they are.

About: Each and every animal that I come in contact with I am respectful and calm! I love every pet like it’s my own. Each dog requires different needs and I am completely understanding and will do what it takes for the animal to be the most comfortable and relaxed it can be. I am grateful for the love animals give me and I hope that I can give them that love back. Animals are part of families and I want to provide that comfort when their families are not around! I have expierence with being around all different animals since I was very young. I have been dog sitting since I was 13 years old. I have the experience you want for your loved family member. I work at a veterinary clinic so I have experience with working with all types of breeds. Being a vet assistant I am able to provide for your pet with the knowledge and confidence it takes to take care of any pet!! I work full time at a vet clinic and love to surround myself with all types of different animals! I find comfortable and peace giving people the option to have someone love their pets as my own when they are away! Any needs that your pet may need I am more than comfortable to provide. I deal with many different species and behaviors daily at my job and would love to do whatever your pets need to be comfortable.

About: I’ve been around all sorts of animals for my whole life and have a passion for caring for them. My family used to have horses, goats, birds, turtles, hamsters, squirrels, dogs, and cats growing up. My mom has been breeding German Shepards consistently for about 5 years now. I’ve helped her raise numerous litters and have spent countless hours playing with puppies. We also have 9 dogs total, 8 being German Shepards and one little dog, so I am more than comfortable taking care of dogs and happy to do so. If I were to stay over to watch your animals I could provide care for them up until 9 in the morning and when I return home from work at around 3:30. That would be Monday through Friday and then I have complete availability on the weekends. A few of our dogs stay inside during the day and night. Then our other dogs each have their own kennels that are big enough to run around in. We crate them separately at night. We also have a big backyard that is fenced in, where they can roam around and play.

“This was my first time using Rover (and the first time having anyone outside of family care for my puppy), and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! I have a young Doberman with a lot of energy, and Arya was patient, calm, and firm in just the right way—which is exactly what she needs. He took her on a nice long walk, and I really appreciated the videos he sent along the way. They gave me peace of mind and made the whole process so much less stressful. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for someone reliable and confident with energetic dogs!”

About: Been taking care of dogs all my life..I also have a furry friend of my own I enjoy spending time with them and walking them I am available in the morning and mid afternoon time I am available everyday of the week I can do drop in visits or just taking your pet for a walk I always spend time with my dog. I enjoy playing with him. I give him monthly flea treatments and also take him to the vet for his care.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends, and family have always trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pets like my own. I’ve handled puppies full of energy, senior dogs needing extra care, and pets with unique needs. Being around animals makes me happiest, and I treat every dog I care for like part of my family. I’m 20 years old and currently have a petty lenient class schedule this fall semester, which gives me plenty of time to give your pets the love, attention, and play they need! I’m available for boarding on weekends, and most weekdays—especially after 2pm. Whether it’s fetch, cuddle time, or just being a calm companion, I’ll be there! I always introduce dogs slowly and mindfully to make sure everyone feels safe and comfortable. I’m happy to follow any specific care instructions your dog needs, including crate training, meds, feeding routines, or anything else that keeps them happy and healthy.
