Dog Walkers in Wharton, OH

About: Even at a young age, I have seven years of skillful experience in multi-species care ranging from shelter medicine, to low-cost spay & neuter services, to currently mixed animal practice. The last five years, I have been expanding my skill set as an employed veterinary assistant. With that, I am knowledgeable when it comes to medications, pets with special conditions and needs, and capable of handling emergencies. I’m currently working full-time as a veterinary assistant at my local mixed animal practice. With that being said, I am available only in the evenings on the weekdays that I work. However, I am usually available all day on Tuesday’s, Sunday’s, and most Saturday’s. I have one dog and one cat of my own who are both wonderfully inviting and playful with other pets. I offer both crated and uncrated time for my dog, and also your pet upon request. However, both my pets usually have full access to the house at all times.

About: I currently have four very healthy dogs of my own and love them very much. I'm experienced working with aggressive dogs and doggie first aid. I really love all kinds of dogs. Absolutely love working with large dogs. I love taking dogs to the dog park as well! I have experience raising six different puppies. I also have experience with fear biting dogs. I know how to handle minor injuries such as broken nails and stopping bleeding. Overall, dogs are by far the favorite of all the animals I have ever I owned. I am very much an animal person over all though and love animals over all. I provide lots of attention and love for any animals in mt car as well! Please consider if you want your dog to be in excellent care! I am currently available full time to provide any pet care services. I am happy to spend as much time as possible with your pet. When taking care of your pet it is important the dog is comfortable. I like to let a dog warm up to me before petting or approaching.

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life and I always take care of them first! My dog is older but I will do anything to keep him healthy. He is very susceptible to things like hot spots and additional things since he's getting older. I always am on top of any needs of an animal. My sister relies on me all the time to help with hers and I always enjoy seeing my furry nephews. As well I did just get a bigger pitbull which has been very eye-opening and working with bigger dogs. This is something that I enjoy because even though they're stronger and sometimes harder to walk being younger I can have the strength to keep them beside me and just have a nice jaunter. Ever since I was young I've always had pets around me and I have taken care of anything from the normal house dog to reptiles all the way to birds so I am very surrounded by animals on a daily basis. Pet care on a daily basis is part of my routine by now. I always check on every animal and everyday I play with all of them to make sure they've got their playtime in. The dogs going out are a huge thing for me because I always want to make sure that if they have to go they can go and they can also get some outdoor time. I always make sure to love on the kitties too. I think it's important to trust the person that's coming in your home. That is a safe place for you and your family and your furry friends. I would not do anything to someone else's dog that I wouldn't do to mine. My dog is my world and my home is a very important place to me. I respect others boundaries and others belongings as well as animals. My top priority would be your animal over anything else.

“Thanks!! Kimmik was so happy when she got back home! Would definitely recommend Josephine!!”

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: Hello! My name is Amber. I’m currently available to pet sit in Lima and surrounding areas! Dogs are one of my great loves in life. I previously worked at a no-kill shelter in Columbus, Ohio where I worked with dogs of all breeds and sizes. I am comfortable with many temperaments—I haven’t yet met an anxious dog who didn’t warm up to me quickly—but if your dog has any aggression issues, I am not comfortable accepting the request. If needed, I can administer oral medication; I do not have experience with needles. I am a non-smoker, non-drinker, who adapts quickly to new surroundings. I am generally pretty quiet, and I always respect my surroundings. Just like I treat your pets like my own, the same goes for your home. I always make sure it is clean and well kept. By trusting me with the care of your home and your pets, you are giving me the opportunity to do what I love, so there is no question that I will go above and beyond what is expected of me. If you are interested in discussing an agreement further or wish to see additional references, please contact me. I am happy to answer any questions you may have! I am insured by Pet Sitters Associates. I currently have a flexible work schedule, so I am able to do drop-ins, walks, and overnight sits. I try to accommodate schedule requests as best I can! I follow any verbal or written instructions I have been provided. I often send updates to pet owners. I’m a big fan of sending selfies with pets!

About: I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life and have always been an animal lover! From small dogs, to medium and large dogs — I’ve had all! I’ve also had cats and kittens my entire life! I am responsible, kind-hearted, and eager to meet new animals! I’ve worked with puppies and kittens all the way through senior dogs and cats who might need extra care or medication. I am currently a full-time college student in my last 2 semesters of college! I do a lot of my work remotely, so I have a pretty flexible schedule. I am eager to help care for your fur baby in any way they need! If they’re a puppy and need time to play, I totally understand! If they’re an older dog who needs more care or to be given medication, I have also worked with that! Whatever works best for you and your dog is what I’m here to do!

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: With 25+ years of experience with pets and livestock I have had the privilege of having a house full of dogs. With two of my own currently I have had the opportunity to care for many dogs over the years and understand how important their care is when your away for an extended period of time. Knowing the absence of parents can be a stressful time for animals I offer comfort and care to ease the stresses of change in routine. My daily routine includes early mornings, outdoor activities, working full time from home and have the flexibility to host a pet or do drop-ins during the work day. At this time I am perusing a Bachelor’s degree in Forensic Accounting online and spend most of my free time around home. I understand the comfort and safety of animals is the upmost priority when caring for my own as well as others. Being sure they are on the property or secured when on walks as well as keeping them away from other animals and people that they might not be familiar with to avoid any conflict.

About: Hey Pet Parents! My name is Juliana and I hold a lot of significant experience in caring for pets! First off, I am a full time student at Ohio Northern University where I currently am apart of the Polar Paws program as a Secondary Trainer. This program allows college students to care for and train future service dogs. As a secondary trainer, I would work with various dogs on campus by training and sitting them while their primary caretaker is busy. Prior to university, I volunteered at the Van Wert County Humane Society where I worked with cats and dogs of all ages and all breeds. This consisted of walking the dogs, cleaning cages, cleaning litter boxes, playing with the animals, etc. Currently I am available anytime during the day and anytime of the week, until I update my availability when I need to go back to campus. I care for pets as if they are children. They need attention, respect, and when being babysat, a good time! That being said, in my own home they have access to their own food, water, play area, and have set potty breaks. In a clients home, the same will apply. Any alternative toys, medications, and food can be used most definitely if requested by client. Always a clean and tidy environment before and after.

About: I’ve always been the go to person when someone needs their dog picked up, let out or watched. I’ve had animals my entire life from horses to dogs.

I would never want anything bad to happen on my watch, as dogs are considered family.
