Dog Walking Worthington

About: Caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. I’ve worked with playful puppies, shy rescues, and older dogs who need a slower, more gentle approach. I’m especially patient and attentive, whether that means reinforcing basic training, sticking to a detailed routine, or just giving extra cuddles and reassurance. What makes me different is how much I truly treat every pet like family. I don’t just “watch” pet, I bond with them. I pay close attention to their behavior, energy, and comfort so they feel secure and loved while you’re away. I am currently a graduate student doing all online classes, so my schedule can quite be flexible! I have reliable transportation as well. I only have hour long workouts that can be moved to whatever time preferred. I provide care exclusively in my client’s home so pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. I follow all care instructions closely, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or specific preferences, so your pet experiences as little disruption as possible. Safety is always a top priority. I’m careful to secure doors and entry points to prevent escapes, keep the environment clean and hazard-free, and respect any household rules you have in place. I also pay close attention to your pet’s behavior and well-being so I can quickly notice if anything seems off.

“Emily has became our regular dog walker. She’s amazing, so friendly and kind! She’s very trustworthy, it almost feels like you have a family member looking after your pet that way she dedicates herself to taking care of our animals.”

About: Multiple families from my church trust me to watch their pets and have done so for the past five years. I've loved caring for these dogs and would like to extend my care to others who need a little help with their beloved pet or pets. I currently work at a kid's hair salon. My schedule is very flexible, allowing me to be able to pet-sit at almost any time. I currently do not have a pet of my own, so I have plenty of time to assist you with yours! While my home is not in a state for boarding, safety for your pet is a priority for me in your house. I always check leashes to ensure they can't break. If I let the dog in the backyard, I check first that all gates are closed. In addition to these examples, there is more I do depending on the situation.

About: Since I was a teenager, neighbors, friends and colleagues have often asked me to watch dogs while they are away. Then walking dogs helped me get through graduate school and now I want to keep it going even as I work as a counselor! I am licensed professional counselor, but when I don’t have a client, I am completely open for things such as watching or walking your pets! I can easily fit that into my schedule. I am a quick learned and will do anything to make sure your pets get to know me and are comfortable! You share how you prefer things to be done and I’ll follow that to a T.

About: Dogs are ALWAYS allowed on furniture. They will get tons of play time and if they are really active, they can go with me on some hikes! I work remotely so there will always be someone at home with them. Plenty of potty breaks and head scratches! Whatever they need, they will get! I work from home so someone will always be with them. There is a large park across the street that I will take them too if they need to get some energy out. They will be well taken care of!

“I can't say enough about Abby! My dog is pretty shy and fussy about who he makes friends with. Not when it came to Abby! They bonded almost instantly and became great walking buddies from day one. She takes him on various routes and mixes up the scenery. With the heat wave we've been having, she's used good judgement and prudence on how far the walks should go and always brings water and bowl for Sparky to hydrate. I always look forward to her notes and pics after each walk too. Overall experience: Top notch 100% Five Star Plus! You rock Abby!”

“Janasha did a great job taking care of Hudson while we were out of town! She was very pleasant, dependable and communicative! She sent us pictures from their walks and little updates about how everything went! Will definitely book again!”

About: I've lived with pets my whole life and have found a passion for caring for animals with the same love you have for them! I specialize in cats of all ages and dogs over the age of one. I've had about 5 years of experience in working with anxious dogs who are scared of everything - very used to taking a long time to grt scaredy dogs outside. With that, I'm very experienced in delivering medications or cleaning up messes. I understand how stressed our fur babies feel when we need to leave them and my main goal is to make them as comfortable as absolutely possible. I work full time Monday-Friday but do have some work from home days during the week. I would be more than happy to visit your home during the day for walks or quick take outs! I am also happy to come visit you and your fur babies at anytime to get a better idea of your schedule. I am working on getting Fear Free certified and would be more than happy to provide that certification once acquired. I would be happy to crate your pets if needed. I'll send plenty of photos and updates throughout my visit!

About: I grew up on a farm, so I took care of cats, dogs, and various other farm type animals like horses and cows quite frequently. I also have a cat and two dogs back home that I take care of whenever I go back home. I’m currently waiting to hear back from multiple full time jobs, however this can take a while so at the moment I am usually free 24/7 for any pets who need taken care of! If I was to take a dog to my home, I have plenty of space for them to roam around inside as well as plenty of places outdoors to walk, or even go to the dog park if they enjoy going there. My apartment is perfect for a cat as well because there are plenty of windows for sunbathing and comfortable places to take naps, and for more active cats there is plenty of indoor space to play.

About: Our family loves dogs! We love to play out back with them and take them on walks. They will get lots of exercise and love at our house! There is someone home throughout the day to take care of their needs. Our whole family helps to care for dogs. There is almost always someone at the house even during the week. That means lots of attention and love! We have a good sized yard with a 6 foot fenced. We have 4 kids from elementary school to college and they love playing with dogs too. We will take family walks in our beautiful neighborhood with all of our furry friends. We are home most of the day and spend a lot of time with your dog. This means we will have the time to go for a long walk. We treat all pets like we would treat our own. So they are like family. We give them plenty of love and play time outside.

“Kyra is super awesome, communicative and extremely knowledgeable of pups in general. She was great with Toby and would recommend her to any pup parent!”

About: I was raised on a farm and cared for all sorts of animals, and now i’m a vet teach assistant as well ! I’m a dedicated pet owner myself and do very well with animals of all ages and breeds 🐾💕 I currently work part time at a vet clinic 7a-5p T-F and would love to help care for your fur baby when i’m not in the clinic ! Your fur babies comfort is #1. Whether it’s playing, cuddles, a favorite show or blanket. If a baby needs their own safe environment and a crate is not already available I have options for the client to choose from as well as blankets, sometimes a safe space with an open door makes meeting new people far less scary!
