Dog Walking Summit Station

About: I grew up with animals and have always had a deep love for them. I’ve been caring for pets for years and have extensive experience with both dogs and cats. I currently foster dogs through my local humane society, which has given me experience helping pets adjust to new environments, administering medications when needed, and providing patient, individualized care. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I do everything I can to help them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I currently work from home, so your pet will rarely be left alone and will receive plenty of love, attention, and supervision throughout the day. I have a large fenced yard for supervised outdoor play and enjoy spending time walking, playing, cuddling, and relaxing with pets. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, or a senior who prefers a slower pace, I’ll provide attentive care while keeping their routine as consistent as possible. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every animal in my care like a member of my own family. I’m very communicative and will keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages, so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is safe, happy, and loved. I can promise they’ll be treated like one of my own (and definitely spoiled)! 🐾 Pet care is naturally part of my everyday life! Since I currently work from home, I’m able to give pets lots of attention throughout the day. I’m very active, so your pet will enjoy frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of exercise. Whether they love to cuddle on the couch, sleep in bed, or just be close to someone, they’ll have lots of companionship and won’t spend much time alone. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and will make sure they feel like part of the family. I believe every pet deserves to be treated with love, respect, and patience. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs so I can provide care that’s tailored specifically to them. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, my goal is to keep them happy, comfortable, and stress-free while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can feel confident knowing your pet is in caring hands.

“Tamara took excellent care of my girls with their walks! She really has a passion for animals and it shows when you meet her. Will definitely use her again!”

About: I love my dog and 3 cats, but have room in my heart to love many more! Your pets will be healthy and safe in my care. Whether throwing a ball, playing with toys or just snuggling together, your pet will be loved! I work from home with a flexible schedule that can fit most needs. I live on the east side of Columbus and I can easily travel locally. I have a proven track record of being reliable and conscientious. I realize I am a guest in your home and respect your home and property. I will always lock up when I leave and ensure pets are safely inside.

About: I have a wide variety of pets my whole life ranging from medium sized labs to teacup yorkies! My husband and I have a flexible work from home schedule :) My husband and I have a flexible schedules and are able to attend to your pups needs throughout the day and evening! We can also just stop in to take out for potty breaks and give pets as needed :) I have a small dog that would love to be friends with your dog :) We do prefer to have the dogs sleep in crates!

About: I've taken care of my late dog Freckles for 14 years. Walks and feedings every day. Played with her as a puppy. I'm available any time except Thursday and Friday nights until 9 pm as I have a scheduled job during that time. I currently work part time and from home, so I have plenty of time to spend with your doggo. I will occasionally go out just for groceries. Food, water, lots of pets, cuddles and playtime. I want to make sure your furry friend is happy and comfy during your absence. Dog walks will be daily.

“Rachel came and met me at my house for a walkthrough. She is very sweet with my dog. She was a trooper even when my pup had an accident. Thank you Rachel and Rover for peace of mind.”

About: I had dogs growing up as a child and have taken care of them on and off throughout my whole life, but some specific examples of pet care include: taking care of my Grandparents 2 dogs when they no longer could, taking care of my best friends dogs (and many cats) when she goes on vacation, & of course taking care of my 2 cats that I am currently a mom of (I have had cats throughout my whole adult life). I understand the importance of allowing animals to get comfortable with you and come to you on their own terms and not trying to force them to let you pet them or play with them. I am comfortable taking the time to slowly encourage an animal to be comfortable in my presence. I am currently working part-time while I finish my degree, so I am available fairly often to help take care of your beloved animals. I am extremely reliable and I am often available for last minute situations and happy to help. I have experience and am comfortable with dog walking, picking up waste, and crating dogs when needed. I am willing to assist with cleaning litter boxes as needed and am willing to take time to play with and give your animals attention and love while you are away from the home.

About: Hi! I’m a college student, swim instructor, and lifelong animal lover with over 7 years of pet sitting and dog walking experience. Growing up, I cared for two dogs, two cats, a guinea pig, and a gecko, giving me hands-on experience with a variety of animals and their unique needs. I have worked with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities, from energetic puppies to senior dogs requiring extra patience and care. My experience ranges from walking small breeds like Pomeranians to caring for giant breeds such as Great Danes. I am also comfortable administering medications to dogs and following detailed care instructions to ensure your pet stays happy, healthy, and safe. In addition to dogs and cats, I have experience caring for reptiles, including those with live-feeding requirements. Through my 13+ years as a Girl Scout, I developed strong responsibility, leadership, and problem-solving skills. For both my Girl Scout Bronze and Silver Awards, I completed projects focused on pet welfare and educating new pet owners about responsible animal care, further deepening my knowledge of pet health, safety, and enrichment. My work as a swim instructor has strengthened my patience, attentiveness, and ability to remain calm in unexpected situations. I understand that every pet is unique, and I strive to provide the same love, attention, and care that I would want for my own animals. Whether your pet needs a walk, playtime, medication, specialized care, or simply a trusted companion while you’re away, I’m committed to making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time to play and take care of your pups. I typically work afternoons on weekdays and mornings on weekends, which means I am often available for morning and midday visits during the week and afternoon and evening care on weekends. Because I have been pet sitting and dog walking for over 7 years, I am used to planning my schedule around pets’ needs, whether that means walks, feeding schedules, playtime, medication administration, or simply providing companionship. I prioritize reliability and communication to ensure pets receive consistent, attentive care while their owners are away. I believe every pet is happiest when their normal routine is maintained, so I take the time to learn each pet’s specific needs, preferences, and schedule. In a client’s home, I follow all care instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication administration, crate routines, and any special requirements. I also provide plenty of attention, enrichment, and companionship to help pets feel comfortable while their owners are away. I am comfortable administering medications and adapting care to fit each animal’s personality and health needs. In my own home, I have cared for multiple pets throughout my life, including dogs, cats, a guinea pig, and a gecko. I prioritize safety, cleanliness, exercise, and positive interactions to ensure every animal feels secure and well cared for. I have a large yard and high privacy fence for dogs to run and plenty of indoor and outdoor toys, including a ball launcher. I have a senior dog they can chill out with or an active austrialian shepard who loves to play with new friends. As a pet sitter and dog walker for over 7 years, I understand the importance of treating every pet as if they were my own and keeping owners updated with regular communication and photos whenever possible.

“Darren was wonderful with Teddy. He took him on a nice, vigorous walk and sent pictures along the way. I’d recommend Darren to anyone. You can tell he’s very genuine in his connection w/ his clients, and Teddy loved him immediately when he walked in the door. Teddy even gave him a kiss on the nose which is reserved for very special people!”

About: What sets me apart from other dog sitters is the genuine love and lifelong experience I have with animals. I’ve cared for dogs my entire life, and to me, pets are family. My own dogs are truly like my children, and I treat every animal in my care with the same patience, attention, and affection I give my own. Growing up, we always had dogs in our home, and having animals as part of the family was something I always wanted to continue in my own life. Because of that, I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy, dependable, and caring when leaving your pet with someone else. I strive to create a safe, loving, and comfortable environment where pets feel at home and cared for while their owners are away. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I’m currently home during the day, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, supervision, and care throughout the day. We have a fenced-in yard and a doggie door, so dogs are able to safely go outside whenever they need to, making it easy for them to stay active and comfortable on their own schedule. Our dogs are truly part of our family, so caring for animals is already built into our everyday life. They have their own routines and habits, especially at bedtime. Every night when we take our son upstairs for bed, our dogs follow right along. One of them is usually waiting by the stairs looking at us like, “Come on, it’s bedtime!” It’s those little moments that show how loved and comfortable they are in our home, and I want every dog staying with us to feel that same sense of comfort and belonging. When pets are in my home, they will be treated like part of the family—just like my own dogs. My priority is always making sure they are safe, comfortable, well cared for, and getting plenty of love and attention while their owners are away. I want pets to feel relaxed and at home in our environment. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I understand the importance of being respectful of both their home and their pet’s routine. I will follow any instructions carefully to help pets stay comfortable in a familiar environment while also maintaining the same level of care, attention, and safety. No matter where I am caring for a pet, I believe trust is the most important thing. Animals need to feel safe with the person caring for them, and I always strive to create a calm, loving, and trustworthy environment for every pet I look after.

About: I have had a dog ever since I was born, and am now 23 years old! I helped train my newest dog, so I have a lot of experience in puppy training. My last dog unfortunately had to have her leg amputated when she got older, so I also have experience with disabled dogs. I have also volunteered at an animal shelter for years, so I am good with all kinds of dogs- big and small, anxious and energetic, etc. Whenever one of my friends is out of town, I am their go-to pet sitter. I pet sit for a lot of my friend’s cats, so while I’ve never had one, I know how to take care of them. My dog, Rosie, is my entire world, so I know how important your pets are to you! I will treat them as if they are my own :). I do have a full-time job, but it is very flexible. I am able to leave during the day if needed for your pet! My nights are always free too, so I am able to house-sit. Your pet will be my #1 priority in my routine! I will keep your pet safe with my life! I will ensure they are on a leash when outside and make sure they are comfortable and getting their exercise in. Inside, I love to play with them! I will ensure no doors are left open so they can’t slip outside to maintain their safety. But I will make sure they are having fun while inside!

About: I grew up with all kinds of animals but dogs were always part of our family. As an adult I have owned cats, hamsters, guinea pigs and fish. I love all animals including reptiles! I am currently a stay at home mom for four and looking for some fur-babies to love on while my kids are at school. I’m available most days during the day and some weekends too. I have work in child care most my life, so I’m use to meeting the needs of those who you love the most. I’m calm and patient for slow to warm animals and children.

“Absolutely lovely to work with and very communicative!”

About: I’ve had pets since I was 5! After college I adopted my own dog who passed away at 15. I’ve pet sit for various friends and family members and have experience with dogs 6 pounds to 80! I currently teach yoga, am in graduate school, and freelancing. My schedule is rather flexible which allows me to add this into my daily schedule. At this time, I’m not inviting pets into my home. If I have regular clients whose pets I get to know, I will be open to in the future. Since I have a cat, I want to ensure the comfortability of both pets.

About: There has never been a time in my life that I can’t remember not having a dog, I have owned many breeds, from a 2lb Pomeranian to a Great Pyrenees, from puppies to seniors I enjoy them all. Hi there! I took a short break from Rover for a few months, but I’m excited to be back and accepting bookings again. I’m now home full-time, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, care, and companionship throughout the day. I’d love the opportunity to care for your furry family member! I have a fenced backyard and three dogs to help keep your dog company. We have a built in doggie door so your dog will be able to go in and out as they want to, should they choose to use it.

“Can’t thank Ashlyn enough for her patience and work to make my dog comfortable with leashing and walking.”

About: I bring a fun, bubbly personality to every visit—but what truly sets me apart is the way I understand animal behavior. As a psychology major, I’ve trained my own dogs using positive reinforcement and classical conditioning (Pavlov’s principles), focusing on consistency, trust, and communication rather than punishment. Because of this approach, my dogs were well-mannered, confident, and happy: they never chewed household items, had house accidents, or developed anxiety-based behaviors. I believe great pet care is about more than supervision—it’s about guiding behavior with patience, encouragement, and love! I work a couple hours during the day and take care of my two kids (3 and 6) at the house. I often have online classes so there’s always something to do for me at home! My kids miss having our dog, Big Boy, around to pet and snuggle. He was 16 when he passed away.😥 We have a lot of love to give and miss having a dog! I am a non-smoker with a clean house. I have white carpet😂 but have a handy carpet cleaner in case your pet has an accident😜 I also have multiple dog leashes and couplers so can walk three dogs at a time. I have carpeted stairs- which is easier for older pups. I do have large crates if your pup needs to be crated (unless they are potty trained -then that would not be necessary). Dogs are allowed on my couches. I have lots of cozy blankets! It’s a quiet end of street neighborhood. Dogs are all “puppies” to me and I love them!

“Kyla has been wonderful to work with! Our energetic pup has lots of rules after training and Kyla was very open to learning our expectations for him. She already has been perpetuating his training. She has our dog walking right next to her like he does with us. Highly recommend!”

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the genuine care, patience, and attention I give to every pet as if they were my own. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, and individual needs so they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while in my care. I enjoy keeping pets engaged through play, affection, and enrichment activities, including fun activities like dress-up and photos (with the owner’s permission). I’m also comfortable providing gentle care for senior pets who may need a slower pace, extra patience, and more companionship. Whether it’s an energetic puppy who needs play and structure or an older pet who needs calm attention and comfort, I adjust my care to fit their needs. As a stay-at-home seamstress, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to easily incorporate pet care into my daily routine. I make time for regular feeding, fresh water, exercise, and play, while also ensuring pets receive attention, grooming, and any needed care. Because I work from home, I can maintain a consistent schedule and respond promptly to their needs throughout the day. I provide attentive, reliable, and compassionate care based on each pet’s individual needs and the owner’s instructions. This includes feeding and providing fresh water, taking dogs on walks, cleaning up after pets, administering medication if directed, engaging them in play and exercise, and making sure they are safe and comfortable. I also keep living areas clean by cleaning litter boxes, food and water bowls, and any pet-related messes. I understand the importance of maintaining a pet’s normal routine and will communicate with the owner by providing updates and notifying them of any concerns while they are away.
