Dog Walking Winton Place

About: Grew up with dogs. Haven’t had as many dogs as cats as they required more attention than cats and Rover didn’t exist when I was younger. I had 3 dogs in my young adult life over the course of 30 years. Currently we have a 9 year old pittie rescue and she is well cared for. I’m recently retired so my schedule is very flexible. Rover has made it possible for us to travel with peace of mind that our pets would be cared for. So I figured it would be a good fit as a retirement job and now I can give others the same peace of mind. The retired lifestyle has left me very flexible for going to people’s homes to help with their cat and dog maintenance while they travel. Currently not looking to offer in home services.

“Charlotte was on time and reliable. I knew my dog was in good hands. She gives her long walks and always sends a picture, which we appreciate!”

About: I have hands-on experience working in a veterinary clinic, where I care for dogs and cats every day. My experience includes handling, feeding, walking, administering medications, monitoring pets, assisting with treatments, and recognizing when something may be wrong. I’m comfortable working with pets of different personalities and energy levels, including nervous or anxious animals. I’m patient and attentive, and I always prioritize making pets feel safe and comfortable. Outside of work, I have a young Whippet of my own, so I understand how important exercise, enrichment, consistency, and patience are for young dogs. I treat every pet in my care like they’re my own! I am a full-time UC pre-veterinary student, and I work part time at Mason Family Pet Hospital. I have consistent breaks during my available weekdays to care for animals. I do my best to care for the animals as though they are one of my own. I try to read their behaviors to better understand their needs.

About: I have always loved animals and have experience dog sitting and cat sitting. I also love walking dogs since I love the extra exercise :) I’m great with scheduling and making sure to always be available when possible! One thing I promise to not be, is a flake! I love animals and have a dachshund of my own who I’ve raised since a puppy. Safety of your fur baby to me is always the first most important thing I value! I promise to respect your needs and care for your pet in the best way I can as my own:)

“This was our first time with Nikka and she was everything and more that we could have hoped for!!! Her kind and professional manner was ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️! Pics and clear communication made us feel so comfy that we already booked 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!

About: Dogs have been in my household from a young age; I am very comfortable with all breeds. Currently, my parents have a 6 year-old golden retriever that I helped raise when he was a puppy. I am an active person and an avid runner, and am prepared to walk or run any distance with your pets. I have experience caring for others’ pets, including overnight stays. In terms of other experience, I am a fourth-year medical student at the University of Cincinnati preparing for a career in emergency medicine. I will make it my goal to ensure the well-being of your pet. I am currently enrolled in elective rotations as a fourth-year medical student at the University of Cincinnati. These require presence in the hospital most days of the week, though my weekends are free for dog walking, as are the evening hours. I will not be on any rotations in the first two weeks of October, and also during November, December, and January. I am a long-time lover of animals and am very sensitive to the needs of the pets in my care. I will make sure they are supported while their owners are away. I have experience with overnight stays and can be counted upon to look after your home in addition to your pet. I am comfortable around all breeds, including large dogs.

About: I have grown up and owned animals all of my life including dogs, cats, cows, chickens, sheep, rabbits, and hampsters! I am young and looking to walk and care for your pets! Pet care will fit perfectly into my routine of nursing school and I am excited to work with anyone to fit their pet care needs and wants! My roommates and I own a male siamese cat, keeping our home very pet friendly. I also have grown up with animals my whole life and have a special place for them in my heart.

About: I have had dogs since I was 6, taken care of them my whole life, but don’t have one of my own currently sadly. I want to get a dog within the next year so would to take care of yours while I am interviewing from home! I work from home for now, interviewing for residencies, with lots of time to take pets out throughout the day. I go on long walks and runs on my own daily so will keep your pet happy and active! I love caring for pets, petting and cuddling with them, taking them on long walks, and playing with them indoors while I am sitting around.

About: I had my own rescue dog (Miss Bean) for 10 years before she passed away earlier this year. As a prior dog owner, I am well-positioned to take care of small and medium-sized dogs who need some extra care during the day. I am working full time, so most of my services will be on weekends or in the evening. Not having a dog of my own allows me to work around your pup’s needs. I am super organized and follow directions well - you know your dogs best as their parent and I will honor your wishes/preferences, all while giving your pup the pets and love they deserve. I do not have a dog of my own since Beans passing, so your dog will have my full attention.

About: I am over the top when it comes to animals. I typically go above and beyond in play and in care. I love to groom them, go hiking or on extended walks and cuddle! I am currently a nursing student who is trying to make extra money so I can stop working during clinicals. Also I have a small child that I could always use extra money for! In my home pets will be in a shared space with toys and activities. I will walk pets every 4-6 hours and will groom both cats and dogs if i see fit (not full groom but wipe eyes, paws, etc) I also enjoy going to the park so if possible i would love to take them to a park near your home or my own

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats since I was 10. I currently live with my own cat Peanut, but I grew up with 2 cats and a dog. I am very comfortable around rowdy, big, and loud dogs. I work part time at Aldi as a stocker, my schedule varies by week but I work 4-5am to 10am. I am able to come and go as needed in the evening and afternoon. I am good at making sure the house is locked and the animals are happy before finally departing. I am very devoted to making sure that animals in my care are incredibly spoiled and happy.

About: I grew up with cats and now also have a dog, and as a kid loved taking care of my dad's horse with him. I've always loved animals, so I jump at any chance to take care of friends' and family's pets, and have been paid to sit as-needed for over four years now. I have taken care of cats, dogs, fish, reptiles, and houseplants for a few days to a few weeks, and always make sure that I keep in contact with the owner for safety and to show them how their pet is doing. I've been on Rover for almost a year, and have found that with mutual trust and respect, taking care of any animal go from a task to a friendship. I'm a full-time college student in Cincinnati, so I sit for people on a case-by-case basis to responsibly balance my schedule and make sure that I can properly commit to someone's pet. During breaks I'm in Lexington and have a much more open schedule. When I go to clients' homes, I always make sure I get detailed instructions so I don't invade their privacy while caring for their pet. I can clean, do yard work, water plants; most anything I'm asked to do to fully take care of your pet and home. I interact with pets according to their wants, needs, personality, and schedule so that I can care for them in the way they need. Oftentimes I do homework in the house, especially if the pet(s) like calmer companionship, and make sure to love on them as much as they let me.

“Emma was so sweet with both of my babies and went above and beyond by bringing packages inside for me.”

About: I am a lifelong animal lover and have had multiple dogs, two cats, and a ball python for over 13 years! In addition to my experience as a pet owner, I have also volunteered at the Cincinnati Zoo in various capacities for 3 years now, where I have learned techniques in animal care relating to a variety of species from mammals to reptiles to birds. I am currently pursuing a degree in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology with the hope to some day work with animals professionally. I was a member of my high schools zoology and marine biology clubs for all 4 years and also founded a beekeeping club. I am currently a college student looking to pet sit during school breaks. I will be in town and available December 13-31 of this year. I offer free meet and greets and I will not have another job at this time and so can be quite flexible to you/your pets needs. I can come over at regular time frames to walk, provide food and water, play, and spend time with your pet. I also offer overnight stays and can accommodate irregular schedules.

“Sadie is the best! She is a great communicator and always lets me know in detail what’s going on with my pup! She even noticed a package on my porch and brought it in. Would recommend!”

About: For my entire life my family has owned cats, dogs, fish and birds. I have a lot of experience with dogs of all ages and sizes. Due to my pets’ health conditions I have to vary what/how much food I feed them and how far I walk. I love playing with my dogs and cat and have pet sat for 6 years (cats, dogs, rabbits, turtles and fish). I have lots of cat toys at my house and typically take dogs on two mile walks (but this varies on the health of the dog). As a senior in high school, I will soon be graduating, leaving me with lots of free time to care for your pets! I have a lot of free time to spend playing and bonding with the pets. I will strictly adhere to the instructions provided to care for your pets while also incorporating fun things that I do with my pets. For instance, if I am cat sitting I might bring my red laser for you kitty to chase around because I know how much they enjoy playing with red lasers!

“Great as always!”
