Dog Walking Wayland

About: I would love to pamper your dog in providing a loving home-away-from-home with plenty of exercise. I live in the country on 13 acres with a large fenced in yard with plenty of room to run! I have been a traveling pet sitter for over 10 years and have taken great care of numerous dogs, cats, and even fish! I provide special care for senior dogs including cooking and preparing special meals as well as provide oral medication as needed. In addition, I provide a loving environment and believe that fur babies are more than just animals- they are part of the family!!! I am home all day and am flexible in my schedule. I look forward to welcoming your fur babies into my loving home!!! ❤️ I am fully retired and stay home all day to play and love up on your fur babies and give them my full attention! I love chasing them around outside when the weather permits and send lots of pictures to keep you informed. I have a fenced in yard and give lots of potty time as well as play time. I make my own dog treats and keep your dog on their regular eating schedule & diet that you prefer.

About: Hello!! I have been caring for all kinds of animals since growing up on a small farm as a child. We always had many different farm animals and lots of cats and dogs. As an adult I have always had at least a cat, and currently have 3 dogs and 4 cats...basically a small zoo hahaha. I am used to dogs of all sizes and temperaments. Currently, I have a 9 year old German Shepherd that weighs 120 pounds...he's a very gentle giant that we have had since he was a pup. He has bad knees(has had multiple surgeries) so I'm used to caring for his special needs and giving daily meds. (Pupdate on my 120 lb bff - I lost my baby boy pretty unexpectedly March 31, 2025- he had just turned 10. My heart was torn to shreds from his loss😭) We also have a 7.5 year old German Shepherd. She weighs 85 pounds and is a rescue with extreme anxiety. We call her our backyard/house dog only. It is where she is most comfortable so that's where she stays to fit her needs!! And last but not least, we rescued our baby girl almost a year ago. She is likely a lab mix and around 50 pounds/ 1.5 years old. She needs lots and lots of exercise and attention!! I am very familiar with puppies and the extra needs they require. I've also cared for really senior dogs as we lost our Lab boy of 14 years to cancer not long ago. I decided to look into doing this as we are always looking for someone reliable to help us out when we need to leave our animals. I realize they are not just part of your family...they are family and it's hard to leave them and be comfortable with it. I would love to meet you and your pets before we set up to determine that everyone is comfortable and compatible and to make your leaving them with me stress-free! I look forward to hearing from you! I am self employed and work mostly from home. My schedule is flexible and mine to make. I can make most anytime work! Look forward to hearing from you! I am currently unable to care for your pets in my home but I will take care of your pets In your home just as you wish me too! Detailed notes on the pets schedule, feedings, meds, etc work great!! House sitting rates may vary depending on your needs and wants for the care of your pet and your home. This will be discussed at the meet and greet!

About: I am an owner of two dogs, and a cat, along with various other critters. I am a dog trainer and continuing my education in the field, specializing in behavior and also nutrition. I believe every dog has its job and place and needs to be catered to accordingly and exercised and walked daily and I am here to help with that. I am willing to work on light obedience and leash work if needed as well as puppy training and socialization, or just the daily walks and let outs. I hope to open my own business shortly and would love to get to know the dogs in the surrounding area in hopes of further working with them. I am available every day and willing to travel a bit to accommodate your needs. Avaliable week day evenings after 5 and weekends morning to evening. Willing to travel to accommodate needs and also willing to take your dogs to parks/ areas they enjoy. My personal dogs are crate trained and up to date with vaccines. Any directions or special accommodations you require will be gladly met in order to keep you and your pets safe and happy.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs of all sizes. Also, have been trusted by many family members & friends to take care of their dogs. This includes taking care of an elderly dog who takes multiple medications & has some trouble getting around, & on the other end of the spectrum a very active & young husky, plus many more! I am a full time athletic trainer at a college, but get a month off in the summer. The other month I work during the summer I only work 4 hour shifts so will have plenty of time to attend to pups! Moving forward after summer I can pick up random week nights & weekends here & there! I am an active person so would love to walk with a dog & take it out to run around & play! On the flip side, I also love cuddles & will give your pups all the attention they would need!

“Matt was great yet again! Unfortunately, my dog got sick due to separation anxiety, and Matt handled everything with such care for Yuri and me. It was greatly appreciated.”

About: Hi! I’m Audrey, and I’m a veterinary professional who truly loves caring for animals. I’ve worked with dogs, cats, and other companion animals in a veterinary setting, which has given me hands-on experience with pets of all ages, personalities, and needs. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet with someone else, and I don’t take that trust lightly. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and relaxed while you’re away, whether we’re going for a walk, hanging out during a drop-in visit, or just keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. I’m comfortable giving medications if needed, keeping an eye out for any changes in behavior or health, and sending regular updates and photos so you know how your pet is doing. I treat every pet like they’re my own, with lots of patience, attention, and care. I’d love the chance to meet you and your pet and help make your time away as stress-free as possible! I currently work full-time at a busy emergency veterinary hospital, so my schedule can vary. Weekday visits are generally the easiest for me to accommodate, while weekends can be a little more limited due to my ER shifts. That said, I’m always happy to discuss your needs and see if we can find a schedule that works for both of us. Feel free to reach out! I do my best to be as flexible as possible! Safety is always my first priority. As a Fear Free Certified veterinary professional, I use calm, gentle handling techniques to help pets feel secure and minimize stress. I’m experienced at recognizing changes in behavior, following care instructions closely, and adapting my approach to each pet’s individual needs so they can feel comfortable while you’re away.

About: My whole life I've loved animals, it started as a young child when I'd rescue injured turtles and bring them home.. then as a teenager it turned into rescuing cats, dogs, geese, chipmunks, raccoons, opposums, rabbits, and birds. I had cats, dogs, fish and yes..2 rats as pets as a child. I currently have my kitty Luna, she's 5 years old and is just the sweetest little cuddle bug. Growing up I thought my animal soft spot came from my parents who used to occasionally rescue as well.. then I realized it wasn't that. It was just, I love animals. They're goofy beings, each with a personality of their own, and have nothing but love to give if they're treated properly. If I'm at an event, it's a guarantee I'll befriend the animals before any humans. I've been blessed that each animal I've connected with has picked up on the love I have for them and typically trust me just about instantly. Since my teenage years, I started doing daily drop-ins which quickly grew to over night stays for night long furry cuddles. I currently care for 4 familes, 2 with pets on medications and my flexible job lets me balance both perfectly! I've been a nail technician for 6 years, which has given me the flexibility to set my own schedule. Because of this, I can easily come and go as needed, fitting pet care seamessly into my daily routine. This allows me to provide attentive, reliable care to each pet, ensuring they get the time and attention they deserve. At this time I only provide pet care in the clients home. I make sure to follow each pets routine closely, keeping their environment safe and familiar, and provide regular updates to owners. I ensure I keep a clean, secure space and respect each pet's, and their owners, comfort and boundaries so they feel at ease. I also pride myself on being responsible and reliable. I have my own car and hold my own personal vehicle insurace, so I can take pets to appointments or emergencies if needed, within reason.

“Brandy clearly loves dogs and mine took to her right away. I love getting the updates and photos from their walks. You do want a reliable and flexible person taking care of your dog and she is that. Highly recommend Brandy!”

About: I absolutely love animals and caring for them! I grew up with 2 dogs and now have 2 cats a dog and an African Grey bird. I’ve been dog sitting for years. I take pride in giving pups the best vacation of their little lives🥰 During the summer I have a very open schedule which makes it easy for me to dog sit or dog walk anytime of the day. I do go on vacation a couple times but usually not for very long, I also have a part-time job at the moment which helps for a flexible schedule to help people and their pets! I am very attentive and loving towards my pets and others I have had in my care. I love being outside and playing with dogs, as well as being responsible for their needs and what the pet owner expects of me.

About: I can sit and board during any holiday! I am new to the site, so that is why I do not have any reviews. I try to respond in less than thirty minutes. In the evening, I usually respond within a few minutes. I walk on a daily basis personally and am used to taking dogs on walks at least a few times a day. I have worked with all different breeds and do my research on breed specifications before taking care of any animal. I have helped taken care of animals that have to receive oral and injections daily. I have taken care of all ages of animals from babies to seniors. I have owned dogs, cats, Guinea pigs, and rabbits. I currently do not own any animals, so that I can focus on your pets. I do usually send updates/pictures during the time your pet is with me, so that you know how they are doing I work as a nurse full time Monday through Friday. I started work usually no earlier than 745 am and am done no later than 5 pm. I have an hour long lunch break. I board on weekends so that I can be with your animal 24/7. I can dog sit throughout the week and dogs will receive a morning and evening walk as well as a lot of love and affection. I can do dog walking in the evening and if you live in the Fairlawn/Montrose area, I can do drop in visits between 12 pm-1 pm. I keep my availability up to date on this calendar as well. I live in a two bedroom apartment, but I live near a dog park I can take them to and can take them out every hour or two during the weekend if the board with me. I would take them on at least one walk minimum whether staying at my apartment or taking care of them at yours. The walks can vary from an half an hour to an hour or more depending on the dog and how your dog is feeling. I always ask their feeding schedule and an dietary restrictions. At my home, I have intellectual toys as well as just typical toys. If allowed, dogs and cats are more than welcome to sleep in bed with me. I allow animals on my furniture and have locks on cabinets to ensure they cannot get anything to harm them. I keep treats and food at my apartment. For walks, I have a hands free leash that goes around waist, so that way there is not a chance that the leash slips out of my hands.

“Kelli was reliable, flexible with our schedule, and great communication - I would recommend her!”

About: Dogs have been my best friends all my life- they give more than take. I have had mutts and labs thru the years and love taking the time to give back to them the love and attention they deserve. I have been trained in training my pups/dogs to sit, heel, stay, fetch, leave it, etc. I have had rescues and adore their ever giving love and thanks. I love the privilege in helping others care for their furry family. Update- I am back in OH and available for drop-ins on weekdays and weekends. Please feel free to contact me regarding your schedule- thank you! I always verify with owners their pets' physical and safety needs, inside and out. I love playing ball, walking around the yard or in the neighborhood or parks if near- giving dogs the time to investigate their environment- running, smelling, socializing and down right having fun- sun or shine, hot or cold weather- we'll have fun.

About: Each and every animal that I come in contact with I am respectful and calm! I love every pet like it’s my own. Each dog requires different needs and I am completely understanding and will do what it takes for the animal to be the most comfortable and relaxed it can be. I am grateful for the love animals give me and I hope that I can give them that love back. Animals are part of families and I want to provide that comfort when their families are not around! I have expierence with being around all different animals since I was very young. I have been dog sitting since I was 13 years old. I have the experience you want for your loved family member. I work at a veterinary clinic so I have experience with working with all types of breeds. Being a vet assistant I am able to provide for your pet with the knowledge and confidence it takes to take care of any pet!! I work full time at a vet clinic and love to surround myself with all types of different animals! I find comfortable and peace giving people the option to have someone love their pets as my own when they are away! Any needs that your pet may need I am more than comfortable to provide. I deal with many different species and behaviors daily at my job and would love to do whatever your pets need to be comfortable.

About: I’ve worked with many kinds of animals, including (but not limited limited to) Dogs, Cats, Horses, Bunnies, Guinea pigs and other rodents, birds, and farm animals! I have also worked with special needs and disabled animals I’m a student and in training to be an EMT! I’m available most weekends and evenings, along with morning check-ins on weekdays! I also do overnight visits on special request. I’m an experienced animal lover and carer! Will always love on animals that want that and respect boundaries when they don’t.
