Dog Walkers in Sparta, OH

About: I am a lifelong animal lover with extensive experience managing a diverse, multi-species household. I currently own and care for a 6-year-old beagle, a 10-year-old senior (and orange) cat, four guinea pigs, and two rescue rabbits. My daily life involves balancing a high-energy hound with the specialized care required for senior cats and small animals. Having managed this "mini-zoo" solo on numerous occasions, I am highly organized, observant of subtle health or behavioral changes, and strictly dedicated to following established routines. Whether your pet is a social pup or a shy rescue bunny, I pride myself on providing patient, attentive care that respects their boundaries and keeps them happy in the comfort of their own home. My schedule is highly flexible! As a college student taking online summer courses with only a very limited part-time retail job (1-2 shifts a week), I spend the vast majority of my day at home. This allows me to provide consistent companionship, frequent potty breaks, and plenty of attention for your pets. As a Type A student, I approach pet care with a "safety-first" mindset. I am CPR and Heimlich certified, ensuring I can stay calm and act effectively in an emergency. My 3.6 GPA reflects my discipline; I follow your care instructions and medication schedules to the letter, treating your house rules as my top priority. I am diligent about double-checking locks, gates, and alarm systems to keep your home and pets secure. I also offer frequent photo updates and clear communication so you never have to wonder about your pet's well-being. My goal is to leave your home exactly as I found it and your pets more relaxed than when you left.

“Amy was so friendly and easy to work with. It is clear she loves animals and made me feel very good knowing that my animals were in good hands. She went above and beyond with her walks and can’t wait to work with her again!”

About: We’ve always been big dog people. Growing up around dogs taught us just how much love, attention, and care they truly need and we genuinely believe pups shouldn’t be left alone for long stretches. That’s why we’re passionate about helping others give their dogs the fun, companionship, and consistent care they deserve when life gets busy. We both adore dogs (they honestly make us so happy and bring us a ton of joy), and we’d be excited to play, cuddle, and keep your pup feeling safe and loved. Over the years, friends and family have trusted us again and again to care for their dogs, whether they’re out of town or just need a helping hand. We also enjoy training, and we’re always patiently working on new tricks and good habits with our golden retriever, Daisy! We have amazing work flexibility. We can work around people's schedules. It would just be a matter of coordinating between me and the owner of the pup. In our home, your dog will have a safe, closed fenced backyard to run and play, plenty of toys, and the company of our friendly golden retriever, Daisy. We keep preventive dog meds on hand for things like allergies, and your pup will always have access to fresh water, food, and a variety of treats.

About: I've had pets since I was 10. I have taken care of both cats and dogs. Friendly, conscientious, and thorough. Can't wait to walk new dogs/friends. I'm currently off of work for the summer as I teach full time during the school year. I am working on taking time for myself, exercising, and walking dogs. I take care of my pets by either crating them or leaving them in a bedroom when I am out and about. I have a crate for them to use.

“Arianna is wonderful. So calm and gentle with our two mini schnoodles. One of ours has anxiety and it took a day or two, but he just loves when she comes.”

“My puppy loves Monica! I do too- she’s very kind, friendly and responsive!”

About: Hey guys! My name is Sam and I love dogs and cats! I have volunteered at the Humane Society of Delaware County. Most of my pets have been rescued from the Humane Society, as well as surrounding rescues. I'm experienced with puppies-senior dogs, and there is no breed that I dislike! I am experienced with all ages of cats as well! I can handle newborns-senior cats. I work full time as a Radiologic Technologist, so please keep this in mind when requesting to book, as I’m not available for drop ins/walks during the weekdays until about 4:30-5 pm. Other than that, I’m available anytime after 5 and anytime on the weekends. I'm available to bathe dogs as needed, give medicine when needed, pretty much anything you need. I can do walks, drop in visits, and stay at your home if you're away for extended periods of time. I am experienced pet sitting from my parents friends pop in visits, over night stays, and anything else they may have needed. I hope that you’ll choose me to help you out. I'm excited to meet you and your fur babies! I am also a Duck mom, so I am able to help care for your ducks if you have them! I work a full time job from 7am-5:30pm, and have Thursdays off. Along with my Thursdays off, I do not work weekends. I do not accept pets in my home, but am willing and able to come to your home. I can easily crate your dog if needed while I’m away. I follow all of your routines laid out so that we can put the least amount of stress on your babies while you’re gone. Please know that your pet/pets will be very spoiled with love and affection while you are gone! I treat every client’s animals as if they were my own. I understand the stressors of traveling and leaving your babies in the hands of someone else while you’re away. Your pets will be in great hands while you’re away.

About: I have had dogs through my life. I have been accustomed to small and large dogs, ranging from age as well. I have taken care of my friends' dogs at times, so I can do well with daily tasks. I am currently on winter break for college. I am available whenever during the day. I am willing to come whenever you need, even on short notice. Whatever I am told to do, I will follow the rules. I will not mess with the house and leave it as I found it.

About: I have experience with both puppies and seniors. Includes potty training obedience training, dominance training. I’ve worked at a humane society and owned rescue dogs. My approach is to find each individual dog’s motivation to help them grow, learn, and mature. I currently have 2 dogs of my own and enjoy walking and taking them on adventures. I do community work within my school district and would love the added opportunities to fit my love for dogs in my routine more. With dogs non-verbal queues are very important in understanding behavior, needs, and temperament. I pay attention give them good food exercise is a must! When dealing with new dogs, speaking with the owner and what they want is top priority. Setting goals for our poochie pals allows a measurement for tracking success.

About: I've taken care of various pets since I was 10, and I'm currently 28. I've done a great deal of pet sitting and house sitting over the years. Most of my experience is with dogs, cats, rabbits, and snakes but I am ready and willing to learn more about and care for other animals as well. I love (and have handled) rats and ferrets and some lizards although I have never owned any of those myself. I have been around pet birds but have not cared for any yet. I currently work full time so please consult me to see whether or not our schedules mesh! The times vary and I am flexible. I am passionate about animals and would love to fit you into my free time if I can. I cannot offer pet boarding at my own home at this time due to the disposition of my family pets. I will treat your pet and/or home with the utmost care and respect.

About: I have taken care of all sorts of animals my whole life. I know how to deal with their temperaments and stress. I’ve never lived without having dogs. I am always the type of person to take a dog in that I find from the street. I have dealt with strays so I don’t just have experience with well trained dogs. I have also watched over peoples dogs for a while and I started walking dogs since I was 9. My grandma had a community that she lived at and I loved dogs so much that I would walk them for free. My passion for dogs will never go away. I currently work front desk at a hotel. I work Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays. I am able to walk dogs those days but only before 1 pm. Thursdays and Fridays I am totally free. And depending on the location, I can also do Saturdays. I currently have 2 dogs and they get walked once a day during the night. I also feed them a little differently than usual. I include green beens into their food as well as other healthy powdered ingredient so they are getting the right nutrition. I am fine with watching dogs at the clients home or mine. The only problem with my home is that I already have 2 dogs of my own. So the dog would have to get along with other medium sized mutts. When I have taken care of pets in another persons home, I like having a specific list so I know what’s best for the dog. I’m able to abide by any rules and I don’t mind if the dog needs extra care. I am up for it.

About: I've taken care of several dogs throughout my life cleaning family pet dogs we've had neighbors dogs dogs in the neighborhood.

About: I have taken care of animals ever since I was little. We used to have a golden retriever and I had a lot of responsibility for him. We now have several cats who are all very needy. I always make sure they are taken care of. Additionally, I love taking care of my brothers dogs, which are the dogs in the pictures above. I am currently working part time, so my schedule can change from week to week. If I am working I can take breaks and provide potty breaks. I will use all available resources to make sure your pet is as comfortable and cared for as possible. I am very good at understanding what they want/need by their actions.

“Amy is an amazing person and dog walker, my dog is always excited to see her! She is always punctual and trustworthy! I highly recommend her!”

“Stephanie really came through for us in super short notice. I have two pit bull type breeds and I booked her the night before we left with no way for her to be introduced. She came over and was really good at introducing herself and was not intimidated at all. Because of that my Pooh got two walks a day while we were gone on vacation. Thanks Stephanie!”
