Dog Walkers in Terrace Park, OH

“Jessica was a joy to work with. We were looking for a person we can trust to help with our cavapoo during our wedding ceremony, as well as drive our Melvin to daycare. She was professional, kind, and so easy going. She is very easy to communicate with and we are so grateful for her!”

“Susan is an excellent walker! She clearly loves dogs and takes the time to build a relationship with them. She is thorough - sends updates and pictures. I highly recommend her services!”

About: I have been taking care of animals my whole life. I grew up with three cats that are now senior kitties and need a bit more care. I’ve been the go to pet sitter for my friends and family for years. In addition I also worked at a dog boarding and daycare for a few months so I’ve met and dealt with many dogs with different energy and social levels. I learned I prefer taking care of animals more one on one, or in a smaller setting. This way I can ensure your pets get everything they need and never feel neglected. My work schedule is as follows: Monday~ 4:30pm-10pm Wednesday~ 1:45pm-9:30pm Friday& Saturday~ 10:15am-4pm or 2:15pm-10:30pm Sunday~ 9:15am-4pm or 2:15pm-8:30pm. My weekend schedule varies from morning to night and i get my schedule one week in advance. I have Tuesdays and Thursdays completely free. I am also happy to move my schedule around if needed as long as i have a 15 days notice. :) I am enthusiastic about caring for animals. I will make sure your animals are well loved while you’re away. Whether it’s a drop in visit or a walk while you’re away I will ensure your pets are safe, happy and comfortable when they’re with me. I’m available for walks, drop in visits or overnight stays.

“Super reliable and great with my dog!”

About: As a rising third-year veterinary student at the University of Illinois, I bring both professional training and genuine love for animals to every pet I care for. Through my veterinary education and hands-on clinical experience, I have worked with animals of many breeds, sizes, ages, energy levels, and temperaments—including shy, anxious, high-energy, and senior pets. My experience has taught me how to safely handle animals, recognize signs of stress or illness, and adapt my approach to each pet’s individual personality and needs. Whether your pet loves playtime and attention or prefers a calmer, quieter environment, I strive to make them feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats and have experience with feeding routines, medications, and providing patient, attentive care. I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone dependable, communicative, and trustworthy, and I take that responsibility seriously. I will care for your pet as if they were my own and keep you updated so you can feel confident they are in good hands. My schedule is very flexible this summer! I am currently working part-time and participating in some veterinary shadowing experiences, but outside of that I have wide availability for pet care. I am available most weekends and have flexibility throughout the week, especially during mornings and evenings. I’m happy to work with owners to find times that best fit their pet’s routine and needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. As a veterinary student, I have experience recognizing signs of stress, illness, and discomfort in animals and understand the importance of careful, attentive care. I strive to create a calm and positive environment for every pet while respecting their normal routines and boundaries. I know how important trust is when someone else is caring for your pet, so I will always communicate clearly, provide updates, and treat your pet and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, senior, or needs extra patience, I am committed to making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.

“Christine is absolutely wonderful. She has helped me so much with my German Shepherd, Frank! She walks him everyday. She has even made herself available last minute when I have been stuck at work and couldn’t get home to my boy, life saver! I highly recommend if you want someone caring and trustworthy to take care of your fur babies!”

About: Every animal deserves to feel safe, and I pride myself on being calm, compassionate, and attentive. Whether your fur baby is energetic or anxious, I meet them with patience to create that trusting bond during our time together. My only conflicts are listed below. Monday evenings are very flexible, though, and I’m always available before/after work at the candle store. - - - • Mondays: 6pm-8pm at Save the Animals Foundation • Wednesdays: 12pm-5pm at Nova Candle Company • Thursdays: 11am-6pm at Nova Candle Company • Saturdays: 10am-3pm at Nova Candle Company I have a decent sized backyard (fenced in) with plenty of toys for your furry family member, and I have easy access to a park for walks. If they have low energy, my older Pug will be their snuggle buddy. If they have high energy, my Shiba Inu puppy will give them a grand playtime.

About: Hi! My name is Emily, and I'm a Registered Veterinary Technician with hands-on experience in animal care, I have my associates degree in Veterinary Technology. I've worked closely with dogs, cats and exotics of all sizes, ages, and temperaments, so I'm very comfortable handling everything from energetic puppies to senior pets who need a little extra care. With my veterinary background, I have hands-on experience working with animals in both general practice and emergency situations, so I'm comfortable recognizing signs of illness, handling medical needs, and staying calm under pressure. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I treat every animal like they're my own. Whether it's daily walks, drop-in visits, or overnight care, I'm reliable, attentive, and truly enjoy spending time with animals. I'm also happy to send updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I'd describe my personality as Friendly, dependable, detail-oriented. I’m always available to care for your pets and have a very flexible schedule with no restrictions. I’m happy to accommodate your needs and make sure your pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for! I provide attentive, personalized care based on each pet’s routine and comfort level, whether in the client’s home or my own. In the client’s home, I follow all instructions closely to maintain their pet’s normal schedule, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any medications, while also keeping their home clean and secure. In my home, I create a safe and comfortable environment where pets can relax, stick to their usual routine as much as possible, and receive plenty of supervision, exercise, and affection. In both settings, I prioritize safety, consistency, and communication with regular updates for peace of mind.

About: What sets me apart is my experience and flexibility. I started pet sitting in college and have always loved caring for animals. Now that I work locally with summer hours ending before 5, I’m able to offer reliable drop-ins, walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins. I treat every pet like my own and understand how important consistency and trust are for pet owners Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine. I work in Hyde Park, so I’m already in the area during the week. On Wednesdays I’m off at 1, Thursdays at 2, and Fridays I’m off all day, which gives me plenty of flexibility. I care for pets like they’re part of the family. My own dogs are definitely spoiled — we have a 10.5-year-old Lab/Collie mix and recently adopted a 1-year-old Chihuahua mix — so I’m used to caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. In a client’s home, I stick closely to their pet’s normal routine for feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and comfort to help them feel safe and relaxed while their owner is away

“Daniel was fantastic! He stepped in at the last minute to help me out with my dogs when I had to travel for work, even though it was horribly hot and humid and he didn’t feel well. I really appreciate his quick communication and my dogs both took to him immediately. I’ll definitely book his services again in the future!”

“Maureen is always highly responsive and great with our pup! She gives us good details about the walk and nice pics. Will definitely use her again.”

“Archer (our puppy) loved Ashley from the first day they met! Thanks for your help, Ashley!”

Vanessa N.

About: Worked as a vet assistant for 3 years at a vet office, medically caring for pets and assisting in surgery’s. Then worked for another 3 years at a doggy daycare, interacting and monitoring dogs or caring for the ones that were boarding. I’m currently a stay at home mom. I walk 3-5 miles a day, and would love to take your pup along with me. I currently don’t have a dog of my own, but kids that would love to have one to play with for a day or two. I have a large yard and live on a dead end street. I am always walking to get my miles in or outside with my kids.

“Wolf was amazing! We booked last minute and had some changes in our itinerary, but was still very according. Romeo was so happy when he got back from his walk with Wolf. Will be booking again! Thank you!”

Kate B.

About: I've cared for dogs, cats, fish, and small animals for 20 years. I am also a reptile owner and comfortable caring for some reptiles and amphibians. I am currently available full time for pet care, regarding pet sitting or daily walks. I am also able to care for and feed some reptiles and most amphibians. I much prefer to care for animals in their own home. I feel it is less stress on the animal and more comfortable for them.

“Jillian has been walking my quirky and sometimes shy greyhound regularly for a couple months now and she is the absolute best. On time, thorough, understanding, flexible, competent, communicative, knowledgeable. I don’t trust my dog to everyone, but I feel 10000% confident that she’s in good hands with Jillian on their walks!”

About: I’ve been an animal lover my whole life and have had dogs of all sizes in my home since I was 10 years old. Caring for them has always come naturally to me, and over the years I’ve become the go-to sitter for friends and family whenever they need help. I currently have two dogs of my own who love dog parks and long walks, so I’m very used to staying active and making sure pets get plenty of exercise, attention, and love throughout the day. While I’ve personally owned dogs, I also love cats and have experience dropping in to care for friends’ cats while they’re out of town. I’m comfortable with feeding, playtime, litter box care, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable in their space. I have experience with pets of different personalities and energy levels—from playful and energetic to more laid-back or older pets. I’m also comfortable giving oral medications when needed. I truly love being around animals and making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I’m currently going back to school and planning my wedding, so I’m excited to spend my extra time doing something I enjoy while helping others feel at ease about their pets. I’m currently back in school for a career change, which allows me to have a flexible and open schedule. I’m able to plan ahead and communicate any conflicts in advance, so you can feel confident your pet will be well cared for. I have great availability and love being able to spend my extra time with animals. I provide care in your home so your pet can stay comfortable in their usual environment and routine. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding, walks, and any special care needs. I’m respectful of your home and will keep everything clean and secure while you’re away. I’m also happy to send updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is safe and well cared for.

“Allison has been great! Super friendly and helpful when scheduling, and she has great availability. This is the second time she's taken our Aussie pup on a walk to help get some energy out. Love getting the pictures of her time with him and the note she leaves about their time together. Will definitely keep using Allison”
