Dog Walkers in West Carrollton, OH

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I can remember. From family, friends, neighbors and even teachers, they have relied on me to feed, medicate, walk, groom, play and love their babies like my own. Every animal is different, but always loved! I’m currently and fortunately a stay at home mom so my schedule is pretty open! During the school year, I’m available after 9am and could work afternoon needs around pick up times. School is about to be out, so my schedule would be open! I’m not doing in home services due to my rescue having a bad past and still working on trusting other dogs. In clients homes, I’d make sure to follow all requests, communicate what happened during the visit and have the utmost respect for their home/pet(s).

“Kinsey was very reliable and we are very happy with the services she provided our dog.”

“Michelle was absolutely wonderful. She was always quick to respond and shared adorable pictures of Annie on walks. I asked her to walk Annie but she really went above and beyond to make sure she had everything she needed. I would absolutely recommend Michelle to watch and walk your dogs.”

About: I started in the pet industry in 1999. I managed for Jacks Aquarium & Pets for 10 years. I was the livestock manager at Feeders Supply Fairborn. I also train Horses professionally and have been a member of the local dog obedience club. In addition to extensive training experience, I have a lot of medical experience and have no problem taking care of special needs animals. Also happy to sit for livestock and exotics. I train Horses full-time so my schedule is extremely flexible because I can book on days that are free. Whatever your pet needs I can accommodate. I provide safe positive compassionate handling. Pets in my care are happier and better handled when they leave me than when they began. Let me help you and your pet connect.

About: My mother has a dog sitting business called Your Place or Mine that I help her with regularly. I got on Rover to make some extra money while I'm in college. Furthermore, I've owned and taken care of dogs my whole life. Even now I have two of my own dogs. Since my Mom's more experienced with watching animals, she may help me with jobs from time to time. I work part-time and also go to school part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to stay with your pet(s) and check on them. I'll check on your pet(s) periodically and care for them as I'm instructed. I also have prior experience caring for older animals and animals who take oral medications or shots.

“Valerie has done a terrific job walking my dog Chloe. She sends photos during the walk and Chloe is very excited to see her when she arrives. I highly recommend her services.”

About: I have been caring for animals since I was a small child. I’ve cared for fish, frogs, Guinea pigs, cats, dogs, etc. I have plenty experience dog sitting and dog walking a variety of breeds, ages, and plenty of fun quirks. I’m currently available Tuesdays and weekends, and I’m happy to work with pet parents looking for consistent weekly care, especially midday drop-ins. Building a routine and getting to know your pet’s personality is my favorite part of pet sitting! I always make sure the fur babies have fresh water and food if need be. I try to include a little play time of some variety along with plenty of cuddles.

About: I grew up on a farm so I have had pets around my entire life. Dogs, cats, horses, goats, hamsters, rabbits etc. I consider my pets my children. I have experience with giving medications and wrapping wounds as well I typically have free time at lunch, in the evenings and on weekends. I always make sure my own pets have food, water and shelter. Due to having 2 dogs in my home I can only come to others homes. I would treat the pet like my own and make sure they get the care needed and extra love.

About: Hello! My name is Riley and I work as a veterinary assistant in an emergency animal hospital. For the past two years, I’ve cared for pets of every size, age, and temperament in fast paced, high stress situations. I’m also in college to become a veterinary technician, with plans to continue on to veterinary school. I have hands‑on experience with dogs, cats, birds, lizards, and many other species. Whether your pet needs playtime, structure, medication, or a calm and confident handler, I’m here to help. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my top priority, and with my background in emergency care, you can feel completely at ease knowing your loved one is in safe hands. I work three days a week doing 12‑hour shifts, and I take my college classes online, which gives me plenty of free time for pet care. I’m available most weekdays, evenings, and weekends, and I love having extra time to spend with pups who need attention, play, or company throughout the day. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine consistent and their environment calm and safe. With my background as an emergency veterinary assistant, I’m trained to recognize early signs of illness or stress, administer medications correctly, and handle pets with medical or behavioral needs confidently. I follow all care instructions exactly as given. Feeding schedules, medication routines, crate preferences, and walking routes. I also always make sure doors, gates, and enclosures are secure. My goal is to respect your home, maintain your pet’s normal routine, and provide attentive, medically informed care so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away.

About: I've had dogs ever since I was 10, but my experience with them goes far beyond that. When I was a little kid, before I ever had a dog, I would go to this read with a dog program called "Paws to Read." I would spend countless hours reading to the dogs and befriending them, along with a cat or two here and there. When I was 10, I got my first dog, a husky, and gave him a wonderful life. He had quite a few medical issues and behaved older for his age because of it, so I know how to provide senior pet care. He has since passed, but my two current dogs, one pitbull and one pitsky, remind me every day how important pets are to me. I've had them both for eight years now, during which we've taken numerous car rides, walks, enjoyed outside and inside playtime, movie nights, and anything a dog could dream of. Now, while I've never had a cat because of the majority of my family being allergic, I never turn away from a cat. I'm a regular at the Gem City Catfe, where I play with the cats often and have gone so often that they are comfortable with me. I keep cat and dog treats on me in case I come across a stray, because all cats and dogs deserve to feel some love. I've also dog-sat and house-sat for a few friends before, so I know how to handle situations like pets not getting along, bathroom accidents, and being a bit of a picky eater. Currently, I am a full time student and work full time at UDRI (UD's Research Institute) from 8:30am - 3:30am. During the summer I won't be taking any in person classes, just two online. But when I return to UD for my final year, I will be taking classes again and may be slightly more limited. When it comes to my pets and caring for clients pets, the comfort of the pet is most important to me. Personally, my two dogs don't get along with each other very well, so they typically have to be separated. Even so, I always make sure to treat them both equally and give them lots of love! If I take one for a car ride and ice cream, I bring ice cream back for the other and take the other for a car ride later that week. If my client has dogs similar to mine, who need to be separated, I would be sure to treat them equally and split my time with them according to my client's requests. Given single-pet households, I'd spend a lot of my time with them! In my downtime, I'd make sure to sit with them while I work on coursework. I'd be sure to take them on walks and go for potty breaks. And of course I'd make sure we get a lot of play time in and lots of love!

About: Rescue and veterinary experience. Skilled with seniors, special needs, and neonates. Comfortable giving medications and injections. Attentive, patient, and focused on keeping pets safe, clean, and stress-free. I currently work part-time in the veterinary field (two days per week), giving me plenty of availability to care for your pets. I also have extended two-hour lunch breaks, allowing me to return home and check in on them throughout the day. I follow each pet’s routine in their home, including feeding, play, walks, and meds. I provide calm care, close monitoring, and regular updates to owners.

“Trina went above and beyond what was ever required of her for my dog (Athena) and I. This was my first time ever leaving my dog at home while going out of town and coordinating care. Trina put my mind at ease with frequent texts and pictures, reassuring me that Athena was in excellent hands.”

About: I love snuggles and walks just as much as an eager puppy, but I will take a step back for shy dogs or most cats. I had my dog until he was 16, taking care of him as a puppy until his senior years. Since putting him down last year, I have been dog sitting coworkers' dogs (up to nine at a time!), watching my friend's cats, and leash training my sister's dogs. I work from home, so my schedule is pretty open and I can be available as much as your pet needs. Plus, I am always walking! I will always follow the directions of pet owners to make pets feel safe and comfortable. Owners know their pets best, so I'll listen to their advice on how to get to know their fluffs.

“Sierra is wonderful! She’s great with communication, and very clear about what happened during the walk. She obviously loves dogs, and to really great care of mine. I highly recommend her!!”

About: Responsible, reliable, and loving — as an experienced mom and lifelong pet owner, I bring patience, care, and know-how to every walk and cuddle. Your pets will be treated like family. I will provide walks, cuddles, playtime, treats, along with meeting basic needs. I'm currently a teacher of 30 years. I work full-time and am currently available on weekends. During school breaks I have more flexibility to meet the needs for those vacationing during holidays. I do have four of my own dogs along with a cat. I have experience with dogs Xlarge, small and everywhere inbetween. Dogs that need overnight sitting would require a meet and greet. I have a large 8 foot fenced in yard. I have crates and leashes available. I am also able to visit your pets in your home, providing them with cuddles, treats, and necessary care.

About: Hi! I'm Carisse, I have one cat of my own named Gamora, and I've taken care of dogs in the past.

I'm available for sitting during late afternoon, evening, weekends, and overnight! I currently work from 9 to 3, but other than that I'm free. I take care to keep pets in the designated area(s), and follow care instructions regarding walks, play, feeding, and grooming (etc.) to a t!

About: **SERIOUS INQUIRIES ONLY, PLEASE!** 😄 Hi, I am Isabella and I will be a great companion, friend & nurturer to your pets!! I love to spend time with dogs whether that’s playing with them, going for a walk, a park adventure, giving them baths, rewarding them or just hanging out- I meet all their needs at all times. Aside from that, I also keep your home CLEAN & SAFE! I am huge on safety so you will be in good hands with me. I am also happy to do small errands for you- (mail monitoring, etc.) so you can enjoy your time away from home without worries, or be less distracted during your work day. If requested, I am happy to send picture updates to show your dog is living the dream. 😄😉 I have taken care of dogs of various breeds since I was 9 years old. Growing up, I owned a Chow Chow, which was a real treat. I even loved giving her baths! She had 2 litters of puppies-sets of 6 & 8, so I got lots of joy from training & playing with puppies until they were adopted. Since then, I have done pet sitting/house sitting/babysitting for various friends & family over the years, and eventually started using Rover in 2021. The most dogs I’ve house-sat with at one time are 3. I am accustomed to following your pet’s individualized routine. I am very much a dog lover. I don’t currently own one due to apartment restrictions, but greatly wish I could. I like to dog sit because I get so much out of it. I truly LOVE DOGS! I am quite familiar with various breeds and their unique traits. Some of the breeds I have cared for are as follows: Akita, American Eskimo, Australian Shepherd, Bernedoodle, Bichon Frise, Border Collie, Boxer, Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Chow Chow, English Bulldog, Frenchie, German Shepherd, Great Dane, Greyhound, Golden Retriever, Jack Russell Terrier, Labradoodle, Labrador Retriever, Pug, Newfoundland, Rat Terrier, Rottweiler, Saint Bernard, Sheltie, Toy Poodle, Welsh Corgi. I cared quite often for a dog with congestive heart failure who needed medicine & needed monitored for his breathing & risk for fainting. I’ve also cared for blind dogs and older dogs with dementia. Some of the dogs I’ve watched take medicine or have dietary supplements and restrictions. I’ve never had any pet emergencies while pet-sitting for others, but did have to take my family dog on an emergency run in her final days which resulted in her passing from old age at 16 years. I mention this to say, if an emergency would ever arise while pet sitting- I am familiar with the process to get the dog help. I have MedVet info saved to my phone so you can rest easy knowing I am prepared for any out of the ordinary circumstances any time of day or night. I also like cats & have done cat sitting on a more rare occasion, including homes with a cat and dog, or only cats. I have lived with a cat who was very close to me in recent years so I am familiar with their behaviors and needs. I’ve also administered medication to a cat with FIV although it is a bit tricky. I hope that I have given you good insight on my pet sitting experience and look forward to being your new dog or even cat sitter if needed! Please feel free to ask questions! I look forward to meeting your pet soon! Thanks for reading my profile. I currently have a very adaptable schedule and i’m currently accepting new clients and bookings at this time, although I am typically in high demand. I can walk your dog around the neighborhood or take the pet to the nearest park, if it’s during a safe time of the day and a more safe neighborhood! I am sure to give frequent bathroom breaks & always take the dog out right before bed time! I will care for your home & possessions like they are my own. I always leave the home in the same condition I arrived to or even a touch more tidy if I am house sitting.
