Dog Walkers in Van Buren, OH

“We've had several dog walkers from Rover but this young lady is the best...by far! She is very intelligent and her love of our dog is so evident. The dog, Sybil, knows when she is due to arrive and sits and stares at the door in anticipation of her arrival. Kirsten is professional, personable, kind and appears to love her work. Sybil knows that Kirsten is in charge during her walk and thus, follows her commands. This young woman continues to reflect merit upon herself, her profession and Rover.”

About: Ever since I was a little girl I knew working with animals was what I wanted to do. I started with family members pets, then moved on to friends and friends of friends now I have lots of experience. I grew up on a farm, raising farm animals, participating in 4h, and racing horses. I’ve owned almost every small pet you could have while growing up. I take my care with animals extremely serious and I take pride in the exceptional care I can proved for animals. Pets have a huge soft spot in my heart and there is nothing more I’d rather do in life. I have experience with reptiles as well as administering medications. I have lots of reviews and references and a page on Facebook called “Happy Paws” you can feel free to check out as well! I’m a full time pet sitter, therefore I have open availability. I work a lot of odd hours so early mornings or late nights doesn’t bother me! I have a fenced in yard and a friendly fur baby to keep your pets company. I don’t do crates unless requested by the owner. I’m home with your pet 24/7 so no need to worry about that. I have lots of toys and treats and I always separate during feeding time. I have a separate area your pet can be alone if they are nervous and need a calm environment!

About: I am currently a Pre-Veterinary student working towards achieving the goal of becoming a veterinarian. I have spent countless hours caring for animals both in a veterinary clinic as well as outside. I worked for about 2 years in a boarding/daycare/grooming facility for dogs and cats as well. I am currently doing online school, so most of my time during the week is free! This means I can spend lots of time helping take care of your furry family member(s)! I make sure to spend lots of time with the animal when at the house. Even if it will just be to let them outside, I make sure to play with them and allow them plenty of time to exercise and be active. I also am a very tidy person so any messes made will be cleaned up right away! Toys will be played with but will be put back where they were found/where they belong. I make sure to lock all the doors and check on the house as I am leaving!

“Kaylee was so great with Daisy! You can tell right away how much she loves fur babies. I will be calling her again.”

I have worked at Mays Country Kennel, caring for dogs and cats of all breeds. I am a current student at the University of Findlay for pre-vet and animal sciences.

I respect other people's living space and would care for the space and the pet. I would treat your pet like my own! Whatever the client asks I will follow.

About: I had spent the better part of a decade volunteering - playing with cats and walking dogs - and had spent all of them thinking of ways for it to be my way of life. In that time: I have been employed by a shelter, volunteered transportation and continued to volunteer dog walking in shelters; along with pet sitting for people I know and those I'd yet been graced to meet. I've walked all different breeds, all different sizes and all different temperaments and have learned some pretty amazing tips and tricks from some very caring and wonderful people. The co-volunteers, co-workers and dog trainers who had graciously given their time to help us. The countless furbabies I've been blessed to have known and loved, and the gifted amazing people I have worked with - and learned from - has given me so much that Unstoppable Pets is a way of life for me. Whether they be canine, feline, rabbit, ferret, hamster, rat or have feathers: you can rest assured that I will treat yours as I was once able treat my own seniors. With all the playfulness and love they need and deserve. I do now have a part time job outside of Unstoppable Pets and I am asking for a week advance notice so as to make sure everybody's schedules work well together. If I am scheduled to work outside of pet sitting, my priority is to your pet and I manage my time with them in mind. Please ask about ongoing weekly and monthly rates for individual pet walk services. I always enter the same door, the same way. A knock and a pause while calling the animal(s) name(s). If left out of a kennel, I wait til there is a calm within and then push open the door. I don't like to do a simple let in and out, as I like to throw sticks or tennis balls for at least a few runs. If outside play isn't possible or dog isn't really into play time, a few moments for cuddles is in the schedule. Refresh and clean water bowls, quick pick-up of animal's eating area if needed. Clean up and dispose of stool.

About: I have professionally taken care of dogs and cats for over 7 years. I went to the Medina County Career Center for animal care in high school. I have experience with all sizes and ages of dogs and cats. I can walk them, let them out, clean up after them and play with them. I also have experience with medicating pets including insulin for diabetic pets. I also have some small animal and equine experience as well. Bathing can be tacked on as well with your own equipment provided. I have extensive educational and professional experience. I currently have 1 dogs, 3 cats and 2 ball pythons. Please feel free to send me a message and ask me any questions you may have. At the moment I have complete open availability to help take care of your pets. Please let me know in advance as I may have other plans but I should be pretty flexible with check ins and walks. I will take care of pets per owners request. I will stay outside with dogs in yards at all times to monitor them, make sure they have plenty of food and water and there is nothing that they can get into. They will get plenty of play, love and snuggles and get to explore on walks as well.

About: I've take care of many different kinds of pets since I was 10. Ranging from cats (young, old, special needs, etc), dogs (young, old, special needs, etc), horses (young, old, special needs, etc), multiple type of goats, chickens, geese, reptiles, hamsters, bunnies, and more. I love to be able to take care of your pets while you are out, this can includes grooming, baths, enriching training, plenty of walks and cuddles, and more. I take care of neighbors pets along with family friends, consistently for over 4 years. I am currently a full time student but have gaps in between classes (every 2 or so hours) to come say hi to pets and get them out and about. My classes start no earlier than 10:00 so I will be able to give breakfast and morning cuddles, my classes also go no later that 4:50 so I will be back to your pets around dinner time. If you need other accommodations please let me know so I can see what we can work out! For me taking care of your pet is my number 1 priority. I approach all animals on their terms and like to listen to their cues. Making sure you and your animals are comfortable while I take care of them is a must.

I am a registered nurse who works 3 days a week. I am currently looking for a side gig that is baby friendly so my son can tag along on walks. Your dogs will not be left out of my sight!
