About: Need someone reliable to care for your dog while you’re at work, on vacation, or away from home? I’m here to help! I’ve been caring for dogs my entire life and have experience with dogs of all ages, from young puppies to senior dogs. As a dog owner and breeder, I have hands-on experience with potty training, crate training, basic obedience, administering routines, and understanding canine behavior. My primary focus is providing care in your dog’s own home where they are most comfortable. I offer drop-in visits, potty breaks, feeding, playtime, walks, medication reminders, and companionship while you’re away. Staying in their familiar environment helps reduce stress and keeps your dog’s daily routine consistent. During each visit, I’ll make sure your dog receives plenty of attention, exercise, fresh water, and loving care. Whether your pet needs a quick potty break, a midday walk, or multiple daily visits, I can customize my services to fit your needs. I pride myself on being dependable, communicative, and attentive. You’ll receive regular updates, photos, and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is safe and well cared for. As a dog owner myself, I understand that every dog is unique, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I am pretty flexible with my day and have the ability to tend to your dogs needs. I am able to come to your house to dog walk or simply just let your dog outside to prevent accidents I have a fenced in yard. I do have dogs of my own, i have French bulldogs and a goldendoodle male. I can only accept neutered males in boarding . I will have open communication and will provide regular updates.

About: I AM A CERTIFIED PET TRAINER.... I have TONS of energy for walking dogs. Average dogs walks with me are anywhere from 1/2 a mile to 2 miles and you will be able to see our route on Strava. I have had and taken care of dogs over the years and love them all! From therapy animals I have trained with gentleness and slow walks to fast walking/slow jog dogs! Sometimes all dogs need a little time outside to enjoy. I can walk dogs or do doggy drop in visits or basic command dog training. You can get a hold of me through Rover and I can check my availability that week. I will let you know in a 24 hour notice I can walk or not. Dogs are need the outdoors to run and play just like us so the more time out the better! Fist off, I AM A CERTIFIED DOG TRAINER. and I LOVE walking dogs! I’m big on one on one time with a dog especially during basic training time if you would like me for that along with drop in visits or dog walking. In other words, I won’t be holding 5 leashes on dog walks with different dogs! I prefer to walk most dogs that are active at LEAST a mile to get them in the open air and get those little doggy steps in! I do use an app that I will take a picture of at the end of the walk so you can see exactly where we went and how far! I’m in Pickerington and it’s a great spot for dog walking! (I can slow it down too and just relax and play in the yard if you have a slower, more relaxed dog) I also do cat care, fish, hamsters, you name it! Thanks!

Ava was great with our dogs. She was very understanding on their needs and excitement. She provided updates and when the dogs didn’t want to walk, she still played with them. We will definitely continue to use her for any future needs.

About: I have two cats that have a good relationship with me and each other. I frequently find them snuggled up and/or licking each other! I am able to administer medication both in pill and syringe form. I also have a love for dogs and have plenty of experience walking them! I always have time to play with my cats, feed them, change their litter boxes, you name it! I give them love every day, whether that be scratches, being held, kisses, or anything they like! I have a flexible schedule and would be happy to help you with your pet/pets' needs! I have two cats that love meeting new ones, but they can be set aside from your cat if needed. I have toys to play with cats, including catnip sacks, a cat toy fishing pole, and a laser pointer.

About: At 21, I’ve spent over seven years with my black lab, learning the ins and outs of responsible, loving pet care. For the past two years, I’ve also cared for two cavapoos, a blue healer, a German shepherd, a chihuahua, and more! Right now, my home is kid-free and pet-free, and I have a flexible work schedule. Most importantly my home is a a smoke-free environment. Plus, with a 0.7-acre yard and a dog park just 10 minutes away, we’ve got plenty of space for adventures, playtime, and exploration! I have a flexible schedule, so I'll be able to have lots of time with your pets, especially on weekends and in the evenings! I have a large fenced-in yard and live less than 10 minutes away from a dog park! I also live in a quiet neighborhood with sidewalks, so your pet will get their exercise!

Paige was great, flexible and helpful. I contacted Paige to help walk our 11 month old Bernese Mountain Dog, while I visited my dad in the hospital. My dad passed away the next day. Paige helped me navigate the app and walks. Paige was super flexible about picking Odin up at our house or my moms. Odin loves and went crazy when he sees Paige. I’m not one to hire a dog walker but I’m a time of uncertain our pup was happy to get outside and get done exercise. I love reviving the pics. We would definitely hire Paige again

About: Caring for animals has always been a passion of mine. Friends, neighbors, and loved ones have all sought my care for many years for both their dogs and cats. Being a teacher, I love to help care for your pets when I can! I have very open availability for walks, daily care, and overnight care. I work as an elementary school teacher during the majority of the year, but I love to help care for your pets when I can! Each pet and each household is different, so catering to the needs of each pet is a priority. Following diet instructions, making sure pets get proper play and exercise time, and lots and lots of love are all priorities of mine.

About: I’ve cared for dogs and other pets for the most of my life and genuinely love spending time with animals. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and care for their pets while they are away. I’m patient, dependable, attentive to routines, and focused on making pets feel safe and comfortable in my care. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, young, or older, I’ll treat them like family and provide the love and attention they deserve. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide plenty of attention, walks, playtime, potty breaks, feeding, and companionship throughout the day. I’m available for boarding, drop-ins, and walks on most weekends and weekdays, and I always make sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owners are away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a clean, pet-friendly home with a fenced yard for safe outdoor time and two friendly dogs that enjoy companionship and play. I can also crate your dog if preferred or needed for their routine. I pay close attention to feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise, and individual needs to help pets feel relaxed and at home. I’ll care for your pet with patience, love, and the same attention I would give my own animals.

Autumn was great with my elderly and shy doggy! She made her so comfortable to the point that’s her new friend only after a couple visits (Lucy is super shy). Autumn was great with communication and just all around a nice and helpful person. Thank you so much!

Jaz is a great communicator. She is professional, but also warm and pleasant and you can tell she loves pets and what she does. Plus my dog LOVES her which also tells you a lot. After using her to walk my dog while I recovered from surgery, I’ve scheduled some upcoming boarding for some vacation time. It’s such a relief to find not just a great sitter, but also a great person.

Experience can vary widely from dog walker to dog walker, but you can view reviews, years of experience, and number of repeat clients when comparing dog walkers available in Southeast.

You can’t always predict a super busy day at work, but you can anticipate your dog’s needs. Instead of rushing home at lunch, book a dog walker to give your dog a 30- or 60-minute dog walk.
