Dog Walking in Willoughby

“Celine instantly treated my 70 lbs Goldendoodle like he was her own dog. I couldn't be happier with her service, and appreciate her genuine true love for animals. I appreciated the regular updates and photos, giving me piece of mind. Her communication is outstanding. I highly recommend Celine to anyone seeking top notch care for their pets! 5 Stars all the way!!”

About: I am a school-based speech therapist by trade looking for summer and after-school opportunities caring for animals. I grew up with animals (cats, dogs, rabbits), and as an adult I have owned both a cat and a dog. I am comfortable working with special needs pets and administering meds if needed. I believe pets need stimulation and exercise to stay happy and healthy, and I am happy to help out where I can because I know how busy life can be! My availability over the summer is relatively open. I am available M-F early mornings (between 7:30 and 8:00 for drop ins) and anytime 2pm and later for both drop ins and walks. I have open availability on the weekends. I am hoping to provide mostly dog walking opportunities and pet care at the owner’s home. I will treat each of your animals as I would my own! I am a fast learner and will follow all rules and routines you have set in place for your pet.

“Great dog walker! I love the pictures that he sent me of my dog having a great time during her walk. He was also very kind to bring a package I was expecting inside. Definitely recommend and will contact in the future.”

“Christy is very professional, flexible, and loving with my dogs!! Needed help with a couple walks per week with my pups with my new work schedule. It has been a very smooth process and very appreciative of her help!”

“Leah gave excellent care of my dog, Lacey. Lacey can be hesitant around new people, but Leah was able to encourage her to eat and go for her walk. Leah sent me details and photos from each visit; I felt confident Lacey was in good hands.”

“Maddie was a great dog walker for my good boy! She was very timely and efficient with him, and will definitely be using her again in the future!”

About: I have taken care of a dog for 12 years and have experience dog sitting all kinds of breeds. Neighbors, family members, and friends have all asked me to dog sit for them. I am devoted to providing loving and undivided care for your dog whether it’s walking, playing, or lots of petting. I am a student right now but I have plenty of free time to stop by and spend time with your dog. My schedule is flexible and allows me to check in with your dog throughout the day. In my home or yours my goal is providing a safe and comfortable environment for your dog. I make sure that there is plenty of space to relax and play. I stick to their routines when it comes to feeding, walking, playing, etc to keep them comfortable and consistent.

“Greg was a godsend. Its not easy to find dogwalkers willing and able to manage our rambunctious 80-pound Lab.”

“Annalise is so reliable and friendly to my mom who is a senior and can no longer walk her dog. She has been more than willing to go the extra mile to make sure we are taken care of!”

About: I have had dogs my entire life. I love dogs and can’t wait to help you with the care of yours. I can help with basics of feeding walking and care. I am looking for dog walks to help myself get exercise while helping you get your dog exercise! I can help out early morning or evenings. I have an enclosed small yard and access to trails and dog parks. When your dog is with me they are part of my family!!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid, and now I have my own 2 adopted mutts (and my 2 fur nephews). I grew up on a farm, so I’m pretty confident with animals, but if you have any concerns or special needs I’m happy to discuss or schedule a meet and greet! I work full time remotely, but have primary duties in the afternoon and evenings, so I’m almost always free for a midday stroll or potty break! At our house there are 4 dogs and lots of kids running in and out, but if your pup is okay with that there’s a huge back yard with a tether, or a neighborhood with sidewalks for walks if that’s more their speed. At your house, I follow your rules! I love to know your dogs favorite spots and which houses are “behind enemy lines.” I’m 6’4 and my hound is quite the rhinoceros, so I can walk the best of them!

About: Growing up, my family always had a dog in our house ever since our first furry member - a sweet German Shepherd/Lab mix named Maggie - who we often referred to as Nanna from the dog in Disney’s Peter Pan. She was the most gentle, patient, and loving dog who just loved being apart of the family, especially with us kids. She often would go into each of us children’s rooms during the night to check on us before going back to my parent’s room to sleep. After her heartbreaking passing from cancer, we would later get Bruce - a Chihuahua/Jack Russell mix - whose energy and character fit very well into our family. Bruce was a mama’s boy who loved to chew and hide his toy bones and followed my mom around like a shadow until his passing in the summer of 2024. While my earliest dog owning experience comes from the two dogs of my childhood, my own personal experience of owning, raising, training, and personally caring for a dog that relied on me to ensure all their needs are met, didn’t come until February of 2022 when my now fiancé and I would drive out to Amish country to get our Sidney boy - a border collie/blue heeler mix - when he was just 9-weeks old. Anyone who has ever owned either of these breeds knows that they are not only highly intelligent, but also very energetic and incredibly active. They are also velcro dogs, so once they choose their person, they will stick to them like glue. At that time, I was in the process of looking for a new job and staying home, so that person my dog stuck too was me. Since I was able to stay home with him for a majority of his early puppy phase, I was able to prioritize and focus on not just his house training, but his basic training such as sitting, not chewing on anything that wasn’t one of his toys, not begging for food, or to drop whatever is on his mouth with the word “drop”. The teething phase was like owning on baby piranha, but giving him a frozen washcloth and lots of chew toys seemed to do the trick. I made sure to leash-train him for walks as soon as he had all of his shots, since knowing how to walk on a leash is not something that comes naturally to dogs. While pulling is still one of my dogs habits, we’ve learned that it mostly comes from excitement and becomes less persistent after a few minutes into a walk. For reference, my dog is around 50 pounds and has that cattle dog strength, so when he locks-in and sees another dog, I’m pretty good at holding my own and redirecting. So whether your dog is a gentle giant, an energetic fur ball, or an overly excited working dog, you won’t find many jobs that are too big or small for me! I currently work from home Mondays and Wednesdays, unless I am taking time off or on vacation. If you ever need me to stop by and check on your dog at any time during those days would not be an issue. On the days I go into work, I can check on your dog to let out and feed before I go into the office (anytime before 9) and after I get off (anytime after 6). If you were a senior that needs to walk their dog, but have mobility issues, please feel free to reach out to me and we can discuss which days would work best for me to come and walk your dog. However, for dog walking services, I will not walk dogs if the temperature is over 80°F. This means that some weeks it would have to be early morning or later at night, especially during the summer time, unless your dog has shoes for the pavement. If your dog has shoes for walking in warmer weather, this can be an exemption, however, the temperature at the time of the walk may alter the duration of how long we walk in order to ensure the health and safety of your pet. Well, I am not currently offering services to watch dogs in my own home, I am available when needed to care for your animals in the comfort of your own home. Not only do I have my own cat and dog whose safety and comfort I must consider, I have found that most animals feel a lot more comfortable staying in an environment they are already used to, since not a lot of animals like change. On the days that I work from home (Mondays and Wednesdays) I can: - Stop by whenever during the day to let your dogs out. - Top off water your pet’s water, administer medication (if the medication is oral). - Walk your dog (depending on the weather and temperature). - And any other care, your pet may require. On the days that I have to go into the office, I can provide the following care: - Let your dog out before and after work. - Feed your dog after letting them out. - Feed/Check-in on your cat and make sure that have everything they need. - Walk your dog (Depending on the weather and temperature). - Give your pets some company by either playing, betting, or just sitting with them for a bit during check-ins. Whatever they are comfortable with.

During dog walks, I use a secure leash, remain vigilant of the surroundings, and follow the owner's preferred walking routes and commands, always prioritizing the pets safety and well-being.

About: I've walked dogs, dogs sat for several weeks, owned a dog and a cat for most of my life, and have a general love for all animals of any kind. I'd love to take care of your family members! I'm a current student at Cleveland State University, so on my commute in the mornings and in the afternoons as well as weekends, I'm available to check in on your pets. Our cat is relatively low maintenance so our routine cat-care is easy. But, I've watched dogs that had intense routines and need for interactive time via games, walks, playtime, etc, so I have experience in all types of animals and the care that they require.
