Dog Walking Walnut Hills

About: You can count on me to treat your pet like another member of my family. Growing up on a farm exposed me to animals of all sizes from an early age and gave me a deep love for them. We always had dogs and cats, plus other animals. Because of this, I am comfortable administering medications to your pets and ensuring they get the love and attention you are looking for. I've had my rescue Pit, Rusty, for the past 5 years, and I love being a dog dad. I am a bit of a runner, so I am happy to take on high-energy dogs, whether that is for a longer walk or a good run. I am looking forward to helping you with your pet's needs and working toward being their new best friend! I currently work remotely as a freelancer and have a lot of flexibility in my schedule both during the day and evenings. I can host most weekends and live down from Eden Park. I'll do my best to work around your pet's needs and routine to meet you where you are! I believe in following what works best for your pet and reinforcing any behaviors/training you are currently working on with them. I also believe every pet should be loved and spoiled just like any family member. My day job is communications and marketing, so you can expect regular and consistent updates from me.

About: I have had three dogs of my own - Bear, Snickers, and Annie! I loved each one of them so much and gave them the world. Now, let me give the world to yours when we get to have adventures together on walks, at parks, and at home with lots of pet cuddle time! I am a graduate student but make plenty of time to hang out with your pets during the day and in the evenings! I give daily walks and lots of play time and cuddle time each day we spend together! I normally dog sit at the persons home while I am caring for their pets. I find that this allows the pets to feel most comfortable and have the best experience while their families are away.

About: Hi! I’m a RN, mom of 4 humans, and 3 fur babies. Caring for animals is a natural part of my everyday home life, and brings me lots of joy! As a lifelong animal lover & caretaker, my #1 priority is everyone's overall well-being and safety. I have raised 2 dogs from the puppy phase, a teenage rescue dog, and 2 bunnies. I’m used to being attentive, patient, dependable, empathetic, and observant. I know how important it is to follow routines, notice changes in behavior, and make sure those in my care + their loved ones feel safe and comfortable. Whether your animal needs a walk, daily care, some playtime, companionship, a yard to run fee in, or simply a calm and caring person to spend time with... I'd love the opportunity to provide that care! I know your pet isn’t “just a pet”—they’re part of your family. I’ll treat them that way! I work part-time as a nurse, and have my kids 50% of the time (+ they are older). So, I have a lot of availability, especially on my days off, around my work shifts, or while my kids are at schoool + some weekends too. I have lived in Walnut Hills for 13 years, and already love to walk all around the neighborhood & know it very well. I know there are many students & medical professionals in the area (like me)...so, I'd love to help support you when your busy! I know first hand what it's like to get stuck at work and worry about your pets at home. Forget that "pet parent guilt", If I can get there last minute, I totally will! 1. First thing, I will meet you & your pet face to face for a quick orientation of your space, and routines. Plus, I want to take a few minutes to make sure your pet & I are comfortable with each other. *I bring a calm energy, but on my first visit (without you), I will wait shorten a walk if they are showing signs of stress that I cannot manage. I will still use the time to play & visit, and will let you know. Some dogs need a little time to warm up, and I prioritize safety and leaving the experience positive for everyone involved. *I will also not risk going to dog parks, or let them say hello to human & dog strangers on our walks. ((Mostly because I don't trust other people's judgement)) *If your dog(s) come to run free & play catch in my fenced in yard, we will all remain outside, there will be no kids, and I will not allow my dogs to come outside during that time. My promises: 1. I will care for your pet according to your specific instructions... No one knows them better than you! You don't need my opinion or plan unless you ask for it. If you want me to use your commands and behavior training, please tell me! 2. I will be professional, and treat your home and neighborhood with respect. Please communicate any special instructions. 3. No known surprises please! I ask that you please communicate any medical history, behaviors, quirks, fears, etc. I'm not scared of a challenge, but I do need full transparency. 4. BE HONEST! I am providing a service & want happy customers! Please feel free to tell me anything I am doing that you would like me to change. I will not take offense, and I will be thankful you felt comfortable to tell me, so I can continue to work with you consistently, and give your family the best care possible. 5. I must warn you: I will send you lots of pictures of your baby even if you don't ask for it. 6. If you are happy with my care, PLEASE leave a review and share about my services with your friends and family!

“Bear loved Alison! He wouldn't go on walks at first but she worked with him and now he looks forward to his walks every day! I would definitely use her again.”

About: Pets have been in my life since I was a little kid. My family has always had a dog and I have a cat that I take care of like she’s my baby! I’ve always loved animals and being around fur babies. To me pets aren’t just animals you have they are an extension of your family! I work a part time job at the kenwood mall during the summer/seasonally and am a student at UC studying education in hopes of becoming a teacher! My availability is pretty flexible during the week Monday, Wednesday, Friday I only have one class from 11-12:10 so I will be readily available for virtually the entire day. Availability for Tuesday/ Thursday varies because my classes range from 11-2 which isn’t ideal for potty breaks or feedings but am able to negotiate if you have a specific situation that would fit my schedule on those two day. During the weekend im free whenever and can do mornings, overnight care, potty breaks, special feeding care, etc. While at home I let our dog out, give treats, feed, and clean the cat's littler box, feed the cat, replenish the water supply in their fountain, etc. I have a senior dog so playing isn’t in her cards anymore but I’m happy to sit with senior dogs and play with younger dogs. I also love walks and will take your pups for as long of a walk as you’d like. I even walk my cat in a pet stroller when the weather is nice!

“Dana is so pleasant to work with and was very gentle with little Sway. Would definitely use her services again and would recommend her.”

“Libby is a great sitter! She takes my dog on neighborhood walks or if time and weather permit, adventures to a nearby walking path. She's easy to communicate with and has made me feel at ease while I'm at work! Thanks, libby”

“Megan was great checking in on my cats and walking my dog. She is attentive, quick to respond and flexible. We will definitely be using Megan again for future services.”

About: Hi! My name is Claire, and I’m someone who has always had dogs growing up — they’ve been a huge part of my life. Now that I’m in school, I really miss having a dog of my own, but I know I don’t currently have the time to fully raise one. That’s actually what drew me to Rover: I get to spend time caring for and loving dogs while also helping owners in my community feel confident their pets are in good hands. I genuinely love dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities, and I take caring for them seriously. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just giving them attention and comfort, I treat every dog like they’re my own. I’m reliable, attentive, and always focused on making sure pets feel safe, happy, and well cared for. Being in school has taught me how to manage my time responsibly, and pet care is something I truly enjoy rather than see as a chore. I would love the opportunity to help care for your dog (or cat!) and give them the attention, exercise, and affection they deserve while you’re away. Pet care fits well into my routine because I’m currently in school and have a flexible schedule. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and sitting during weekdays and weekends, and I make sure pets receive consistent attention, playtime, and care throughout the day! I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort when caring for pets in my home or a client’s home. I carefully follow feeding, medication, and routine instructions, keep environments clean and secure, and make sure each pet feels calm, loved, and well cared for.

“Kelsey was wonderful took great care of our Howlett! We’ve used her services several times and she does an outstanding job. We will always be customers of her and would recommend her to anyone.”

“Great dog walker! Very consistent, flexible, and has been great, especially with work from home!”

Brian O.

“Elliott is a wonderful dog walker! My dog loves her and she took great care of him! I recommend her highly!”

Wendy G H.

“Highly recommend and would book again! He was great with my dog and followed instructions to the T. My dog was nice and tired for the entire time until I got home from work which is incredible considering Hank has overcome separation anxiety and this was the first time I was leaving him in his crate for an entire work day. So walking him and getting his anxiety/energy out has proven to be more beneficial than any medication can be for him. I appreciate Alex for getting Hank the exercise and attention. It was a huge relief to be at work and know he's going to be well taken care of,”

About: I have 50+ hours volunteering to walk dogs at a local shelter. I am capable of preforming basic dog and cat grooming (cutting nails, bathing, tooth brushing, etc.) and I have extensive experience caring for senior pets and training puppies. I am currently working a full time job that is very flexible, so I have plenty of time to devote to your pets! Drop ins and house sitting are my primary options! I’ve done it all: pet sitting, long or short walks, boarding and, of course, taking care of my own pets! I’ve given medication to dogs/cats of various ages and sizes. We can go for walks, hikes, swim and even have a park day. If your dog is less active, I can adjust our activity level!

About: I’ve cared for various dog and cat breeds/personalities throughout my life, I love them all! I have some experience administering medications to dogs and cats. I am patient and consistent when it comes to following rules or a routine. I will treat your babies like they’re my own! My daily routine includes caring for my 3 kitties by playing with, cleaning up after, and feeding/watering them; I’d love to do the same for your pets! I’m familiar with special diets and administering various forms of medication, as my cats and other pets I sit, are on medicated diets and take additional medications. I currently have open availability, save a few social obligations over then next two months, but I’m flexible and communicative so we can always discuss timelines! I treat other’s spaces with care and consideration, I like to be respectful above anything else. I love all animals and treat the pets I sit with the same care I do my own.

“Corey is an excellent dog walker. My dog really enjoys being with him. He's a good listener and it's clear that working with animals is Corey's passion. He's great with communication too!”

About: Pets set the pace, and I'm here for all of it. Whether your dog needs to burn energy on a brisk walk or your cat just wants someone calm and present while you're away, I show up how your pet needs me to. I'm a professional pet care provider with 2,400+ completed visits in dog walking and drop-in care, and I'm insured through PCI for your peace of mind. I'm also open to overnight housesitting with advance notice. I've worked with dogs and cats of all temperaments - high energy, reactive, senior, shy, and everything in between. I'm comfortable administering oral medication, working with senior pets, and supporting training goals you're actively building with your pet. Your pet's routines, preferences, and needs will be followed. Cats are a specialty. I understand that most cats need a visitor who respects their space and handles the essentials. If they're social, we'll have playtime, chin scratches, or just exist in the same room the way some cats prefer. I ask detailed questions before every booking because the best care starts with knowing your pet: their triggers, their favorite toys, how they signal discomfort, and what commands they respond to with someone new. I generally have a flexible schedule around my other work. The only times I am not available now is T/Th 12:30-5:30pm. I am not available for constant care at this time. I am happy to do playtime in the yard, cuddle on the couch, depending on what your pet is feeling for the days we meet.

About: I've had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember, and that hands-on experience is what I bring to every walk. I understand dog body language, pacing, leash manners, and how to read when a dog needs a break or a bit more activity — not from a course, but from years of actually living with dogs day to day. I treat every walk the same way I would for my own dog: attentive, on time, and focused entirely on their safety and comfort for the full duration. Whether your dog is high-energy, a little nervous around new people, or just needs a steady routine, I adjust to what they need rather than running a one-size-fits-all walk. You can expect clear communication before and after every visit, so you always know exactly how things went. My schedule is flexible throughout the day, so dog walking isn't squeezed into a narrow window — it's a real part of my daily routine. That means I can offer consistent mid-morning, afternoon, or early evening walks, and I'm also able to accommodate last-minute requests or changes in timing without it being a scramble. If your schedule shifts week to week, I can usually adjust to match it. Safety is the first thing I think about with every walk. When I arrive, I double-check that all doors and gates are secure before I bring your dog out, and I make sure the leash and collar or harness are properly fitted before we leave — no slipping out mid-walk. I stick to routes I know well, avoid off-leash areas unless specifically asked, and keep a close eye on other dogs, traffic, and anything that could startle or spook your dog. I always carry water on hot days and adjust the pace or length of the walk based on weather and how your dog is doing that day. Before I leave, I make sure your home is exactly as I found it — doors locked, lights as they were, nothing out of place. If anything ever comes up during a walk, you'll hear from me right away, not after the fact.

About: I have had animals since I was 5 and started the learning process of how to take care of them at that age as well. Starting at 15, I started to take care of neighbors’ and friends’ pets when they have gone on vacation. I have experience and am comfortable with all sizes and ages of pets! I am able to train basic skills as well, such as sit, paw, lay down, and stay! I’m currently a full-time student who volunteers and shadows veterinarians. So most days I’m able to do three drop ins per day. In the morning before my classes at 9 AM, during lunch time, and then after 4 pm and the rest of my night is free aside from homework and studying! On the weekends I am more freely available aside from volunteering in the mornings some days and taking care of my own dog! I will give your fur baby love, cuddles, and proper care as if they’re my own! I would appreciate a list of what they are used to day to day so I can give them as close to their normal routine as possible!

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs, my family has always had 4-7 large dogs at a time, so I’m very comfortable with them. I’ve had experience with dogs from day-old puppies, to blind dogs, to senior dogs who need help walking. I am currently in classes but I am available to stay overnight to take care of animals, and make frequent visits as needed. My primary availability is on the weekends as I have class during the week. I am not able to take pets into my home, but I am willing to accommodate whatever routines you have with your pet in your home! I can feed, walk, play with, or provide general care for your pet.
