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.”

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.

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!

“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”

Southeast dog parents share their Rover experiences
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.
