Dog Walking Toledo

About: I have been surrounded by animals my entire life, having pets of all kinds since I was 10. From dogs to cats, parrots to ferrets, I love them all. I have volunteered at animal shelters previously, and I have also worked at a cat shelter. I've always been passionate about animals receiving the care and respect they deserve. I have both a dog and a cat in my family (as well as a human son!), and I can't imagine life without them. I have completely open availability currently, and will continue to make as much time as possible for anyone who needs my services. I'm available any time between 9am until midnight, every day including weekends and holidays. I will be caring for pets in the client's home. I'll make sure they get lots of attention in ways that they're comfortable with, taken outside to potty, have adequate food and water, and anything else requested to ensure the client and their fur baby are happy.

“So I reached out to Lillian & Jeremy last minute and they got back to me expeditiously and we’re willing to accommodate my last minute booking for weekly dog walking! They have been incredibly accommodating, kind, and helpful throughout our experience. When Sandy’s feet became irritated and she needed some extra care, they immediately reassured me that they would be happy to help and provide any additional care she needed. That level of compassion and willingness to go above and beyond really meant a lot to me. It’s clear that they genuinely care about their clients and want to make sure everyone is comfortable and well taken care of. I truly appreciate their kindness, understanding, and exceptional customer service. Highly recommend!”

About: I work as a grooming technician and have an educational background in animal and veterinary science through NSTC, which gave me a strong understanding of animal behavior, safe handling, and basic health knowledge. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments, including reactive and high-energy dogs. I’ve also done training work with reactive dogs, so I’m confident managing structured walks and helping dogs feel secure. In addition to sitting and walking, I can provide light grooming services such as nail trims, bath and brush, and sanitary trims upon request. I’m patient, attentive, and focused on building trust so pets feel safe and relaxed in my care. I work part-time in the pet care field, so animal care is already a regular part of my daily routine. My schedule allows flexibility for morning, afternoon, and evening visits depending on the day, and I have strong weekend availability. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and overnight house sitting in your home, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine to keep them comfortable. I provide care in my client’s home and prioritize safety, structure, and low-stress handling. As a grooming technician, I work hands-on with dogs every day and am very comfortable reading body language, recognizing stress signals, and adjusting my approach to keep pets calm. I have experience working with and training reactive dogs, so I’m especially patient and aware during walks and new situations. I carefully follow all owner instructions, keep doors and gates secure, and can crate if needed. I’m also comfortable administering oral medications. Your pet’s physical and emotional well-being always come first.

“Vivien is such a personable and animal loving individual. She took extra care to make sure that our dog and cats were taken care of. Thank you so much Vivien for taking extra special care and being there for us and our animal family!!”

About: I had pets my whole life growing up (cats and dogs at the same time), currently haven’t a cat, and watch my families pets when they are out of town. I am reliable and can handle any situation that comes up. I work full time but I am able to work from home half the week so this allows me to be flexible with my pet sitting. I have a huge fenced in back yard, I treat every animal like my own as well. Additionally, I always respect other people’s homes.

About: I’ve always been an animal lover and have experience caring for both cats and dogs for friends and family.I also have experience volunteering at a local Cat Cafe. I’ve helped with feeding, walks, playtime, litter box care, and making sure pets get plenty of attention and affection while their owners are away. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets, and I always do my best to follow their normal routines and make them feel comfortable and cared for. I’m patient, responsible, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with animals. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is safe and happy while in my care! As a college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to fit pet care into my daily routine. I’m happy to coordinate visits around my classes and make time for feeding, walks, playtime, litter box care, and plenty of attention. I’ll always communicate clearly about my availability so you know exactly when your pet will be cared for. I understand how much trust it takes to leave both your pet and your home in someone else’s care. I’ll always follow your pet’s normal routine and any instructions you provide, including feeding schedules, walks, litter box care, and any household rules. I’m attentive to each pet’s personality and comfort level, whether they want lots of attention and playtime or prefer a little more space. I’ll treat your pets and your home with the same care and respect I would want someone to give my own.

“Abbi is amazing. My dog is afraid of everyone, but she loves Abbi. Abbi is such a sweet, warm person and a joy to have as our dog walker. She has even stayed at our house several time and has made me feel so comfortable that I did not even worry about leaving.”

About: Hi! My name is Kandra! I grew up on a farm so I've been around animals my whole life! My family has always had cats and dogs at all stages of their life and in various health conditions, so I've seen it all. More recently I've had experience puppy sitting for my brother and dog sitting for my sister on a number of occasions. I understand the love that you have for your furry companions and will treat them with the same love and care. I just moved to Toledo to be closer to family! I'm hoping to dog walk part-time during weekdays. I can do early mornings (starting at 7:30am), lunch breaks, and afternoons. I offer 30 minute walks, up to 1 hour long walks through the neighborhood or nearby parks. Also 30 minute drop ins for potty breaks, feeding, and play time while you are away or at work! I really value making sure you and your dog are as comfortable as possible. I'm more than happy to adhere to any specifications, adjustments, and needs for your pet specifically to make sure they feel calm, comfortable, and relaxed under my care!

About: I have had dogs my whole life! People have called me an “animal lover” since I was very young. Sometimes, spending time with animals is more enjoyable to me than spending time with people. I have a lot of energy to play and run and cuddle with your doggos! I am open, enthusiastic, silly, playful and fun with humans and with dogs :) I will treat your dogs as my own. I can’t think of a more rewarding way to spend my time than being loving and kind to your dogs while you are away. My schedule is flexible and I am a very understanding person who will follow your instructions thoroughly. I am confident in my ability to walk and take care of dogs! I am wide open and ready to hang with your dogs! I want this to be my full time job, so i am leaving my schedule open to accommodate accordingly :) I have 2 dogs, one is 3 and the other is 6. I walk them atleast twice a day, play fetch often, and cuddle them 24/7. I make sure they have the best food and that they are happy and healthy :) It's my main purpose in life. Spending time and taking care of and playing with animals is pure bliss to me. It is an honor to know them and love them. I basically give them all my time and energy. I dont usually spend more than 4 hours away bc i dont want them to be lonely. I will do the same with your babies.

About: Over the past 36 years, I have had 7 dogs (2 that lived to 17 years old and required a lot of care and medication), 1 bird, 1 bunny (which was on hospice when I adopted her) and multiple fish. I was on the Board of Directors for the Humane Society of Hancock County and fostered over 10 puppies throughout the years. I have also gone through training courses with multiple dogs. I am responsible, reliable, and hard-working. I am looking forward to spending some time with your animals! I am currently not working, so my schedule is extremely flexible. I am available most days and weekends throughout the day and evening and can do multiple visits per day. I currently have three dogs that are crate-trained, so I am very comfortable with getting dogs in and out of their cages. I am also comfortable with walking your dog on a leash or supervising them when playing within a fenced yard. I will treat your home as if it's my own and leave it in the same condition as I found it.

About: I have my own animas of all species that I take care of. I’ve had animals my whole life and have taken care of them very well! I will treat your babies like they are my own! I am currently working part time which usually is closing at 10pm.. But I will have time to take care of your animals as needed and provide them plenty of attention and care! I give my fur babies plenty of attention on the daily. Their needs come first! They will always have a full bowl for food and water and be groomed as needed!

About: I have had both dogs and cats in my life and I currently have 3 cats; Olive, Theo and Addy. I look forward to getting to know your little buddies and forming a relationship that offers the fun and familiarity that matters so much when your people are away. I recently finished my Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, and am doing some petsitting while I look for a permanent position. I will likely keep doing it in some capacity once I find one, just because I really enjoy meeting new furry friends :) I cannot offer boarding currently, however, I am happy to visit your pets in your home or take them out for a walk. I love to give pets the attention they deserve and form a new friendship with each creature I have the privilege of caring for.

“Kayla went above and beyond my expectations! I’ll definitely book with her again.”

About: I have recent hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds, and temperaments in professional settings. I also have a lifetime of experience as a dog and cat owner and lover! As a doggy daycare employee, I've safely managed groups of dogs in daycare, supervised structured play, monitored body language to prevent conflicts, and provided individualized care based on each dog's needs and personality. I also work as a dog handler for a professional goose management company, where I handle border collies in outdoor environments while maintaining focus, safety, and reliable leash skills around wildlife, distractions, and changing conditions. This work has strengthened my confidence handling energetic working dogs in public spaces. My experience includes: - Supervising group play and monitoring canine body language - Individual walks and exercise - Feeding, fresh water, and medication support with instructions - Cleaning kennels and maintaining a safe, sanitary environment - Crate rotations and rest breaks - Reinforcing good manners with positive interactions - Caring for puppies, senior dogs, and high-energy breeds I love every dog like it is my own and am ready to take care of your loved one when needed! My schedule is generally very flexible! I do have a few shorter recurring commitments during the weekdays, but I have availability before and after them, as well as on evenings and weekends. If you're looking for care on a specific day or time, feel free to reach out. I’m happy to work with you to find something that fits both of our schedules whenever possible. I always try to keep pets on the routine they're most comfortable with. Whether I'm in your home or caring for your pet during a walk or drop-in visit, I'll follow your instructions for feeding, medications, potty breaks, exercise, and any special needs or preferences. I believe consistency helps pets feel safe and relaxed while you're away. My professional experience in dog daycare has taught me to pay close attention to body language, energy levels, and individual personalities. Some dogs want to play nonstop, while others just want a calm companion and a good walk. I'm comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I'll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, enrichment, and affection while also keeping safety my top priority. I'll also send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.

About: I’ve taken care of family & friends pets since I was young. This has included overnights & multiple day stays, quick stops to allow a potty break & play time, or just a quick walk. I have cared for dogs under 1 year of age and elders requiring close attention and medication. I follow your guidelines and instructions regarding your pets care! Ensuring your pet is well taken care of and providing you peace of mind is my top priority. I have grown up with a pet consistently in the household and have a dog myself! I am currently a law student at UT! This is my only source of income and fits into my breaks from class. I already love to go on walks and spend time with animals for a much needed mental break from schoolwork. As much as I am a source of love for your pet, they are a source for me as well! I can easily crate your pet and give medication if needed. I do not discipline unless you express that as a request. I am very patient and positive with animals. I will only enter the parts of your home where the dog is located unless told otherwise. I can simultaneously water any plants or do small house chores if you need!
