Dog Walkers in Arcola, IN

“She’s always pleasant and always smiling and she even ask about me that great when you have someone here for your dog, but they are also interested in how you feel that’s great.”

About: I have taken care of animals my entire life. My family has involved me in the care of all of our family pets, including dogs of multiple sizes and multiple cats. I also have experience taking care of dogs and cats together. Additionally, I have experience caring for aquatic tanks and animals. I have owned tanks with betta fish for 5 years. I currently have two rescue cats of my own and am caring for my family’s beloved senior dog, an English Springer Spaniel. I aim to provide excellent pet care and friendly service to all pet families. I am a recent college graduate looking to establish pet sitting clients while I work on personal writing projects. I have very open availability at this time and am willing to work with clients to establish regular times for care. I will take care of your animals according to your specifications. I have supplies including extra leashes and waste bags if needed for care. I can either walk your animal right outside your home or transport them to my neighborhood for walks if needed.

“Natalie is great with Bean, she is reliable and very trustworthy. I am very happy that Bean enjoys his walks and she always sends photos of him.”

About: I am very used to being around all types of different dogs. I have a high energy dog myself, and know the amount of time and level care our pets need! I am fully prepared to make any accommodations for you and your pet’s needs. My quality of care and tailoring to your needs are my top priority. I just graduated college and now live here in Fort Wayne full time! I do this full time and am always willing to make time for your pets. I am pretty flexible and can always try to accommodate. In other people’s home, i try to respect their home as much as possible! I always make sure the dog or cat is well taken care of, everything is left as was or better, and the pets safety is my #1 concern.

“Wes was wonderful, Harriet was very happy when I got home.”

About: Hi! I’m Alicia. I’m a second grade teacher and lifelong Fort Wayne resident. I’ve had pets my entire life, but currently have none of my own, so I’m looking forward to babying yours this summer! I know how stressful it can be to leave your pets behind, so I’m grateful for the opportunity to offer them a quiet, kid-free, pet-free, low-stress environment to settle into while you’re away. I’m extremely reliable, caring, and patient. Whether your pet needs medication, a consistent routine, or extra time to warm up to someone, I’m happy to adjust to whatever works best for them (and for you). Whether I’m with them for a drop-in or overnight stay, I’ll make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for. Plus, I love to take pictures and document our adventures, so you can expect regular updates and plenty of photos while you’re away. Feel free to reach out to set up a time to chat or schedule a meet and greet! As a teacher, my summers are especially flexible for drop-ins, daycare, and overnight stays. When school starts (August-May), I’m limited to before and after school drop-ins, but always open to schedule overnight stays at your house or mine especially on weekends or holidays! At my house, your pets will be the only pets in the home, so they’ll get all of the attention they deserve! My house is pet-proofed and I’m very committed to ensuring your pets are safe, loved, and well cared for.

About: I have walked dogs for two years at a local animal shelter during college and loved giving the pups time out of their kennels for a change. I go above and beyond to ensure the dog is happy and to adapt to their unique walking styles. I graduated from Purdue University West Lafayette in May 2025 with degrees in Pharmaceutical Sciences and Sociology. I have sense then moved back home to Fort Wayne and looking to get into the animal care industry as well as build my skills with animal care, including volunteering with livestock and large animals such as horses. I am currently doing my residency for medical laboratory and I work part time as well, so my schedule is a bit tight but I have and will continue to always make something work and accommodate my clients and furry friends. I am very respectful of individuals and their spaces, and will ensure that I oblige by all your boundaries. I am willing to go above and beyond with any other quick tasks in your home.

“Ronica did an amazing job caring for our dog, Leia, while we were out of town for a week. From the first meet and greet we knew she would be the perfect fit. She was professional and her communication was excellent. A bonus for us: she was less than a mile away. We look forward to being repeat customers!”

“Ginny was very friendly and prompt! And most importantly, my sweet old dog loved her. Thanks Ginny :)”

About: Huge animal lover. I’ve worked all across the board in terms of pet care. I’ve worked at big name pet stores and veterinary hospitals. I’ve worked in grooming and board. I’ve worked on farms and ranches with all sorts of farm animals including horses and even cattle. I have experience with medicine administration and animal husbandry. Currently pursuing a degree in Conservation Biology and Ecology at ASU with hopes of a full time career with animals doing what I love. Rover helps make my dreams come true :) I am an online college student and do odd jobs around town like performing live music (I’m a singer/guitarist/songwriter) delivering food and cleaning houses and storage units, so I have a pretty flexible schedule. I am around animals all day from my own, to encounters with other pets and my parents own a farm that I assist with, as well. I do not offer my own home for pet services. I offer walking, pet sitting, check-ins, pet care services, etc. I can even offer grooming services for a fee

“Grace is always on time and my dog Jasper looks forward to his walks with her now! She's helped my family tremendously while trying to juggle work life, kids and schedules! She always sticks to the time booked and I trust her to take Jasper on a thorough walk when we can't... will definately use Grace in the future :)”

About: I will play with your pups! I am used to caring for yorkies, shelties, and small labs as these were the dogs I was around growing up. I now have 4 Chihuahuas, I love them! They have taught me a lot about separation anxiety and I understand how serious it is. I would love to help your pets get through those long days. I love all dogs, playful, bouncy, and shy. I am used to feeding dogs special foods that they typically eat and am always open to spoiling them the same way you do! My availability varies. I am currently a stay at home mom which allows me to do drop ins or dog walks. Message me with any questions! Thank you for considering me! I'm currently a stay at home mom so doggy day in my home is ideal to give your pup love and attention! I am typically in town during holidays. I spend time playing with them, walking them, and giving them love (or space if that's what they prefer). I will feed your dog, make sure (s)he has water, or give your dog treats and rub their tummy. Whatever you prefer, I can do that!

“I was so nervous leaving our beast of a dog, Titan. He is tricky due to his deplorable past and emotional issues, but gentle with us. Tracy was calm and positive and it sure seems like all went quite well! We will use him again. We did not worry. Thank you, Tracy!”

About: I’ve had dogs and cats since I was a child and can’t imagine my life without pets. I’ve got friends and neighbors who rely on me to visit, feed, play and stay for overnights or vacations with their pets. Would love to help others with their pet needs! I’m currently open for clients and their needs whenever needed. I have an open schedule and am ready to work with anyone on helping with their pets. Whether drop in visits or staying over at friends/neighbors houses I follow any guidelines given by the pet owners. I’m very trustworthy and do what I can to ensure the pets stay safe under my care.

About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was 8-9 years old. I grew up with dogs of all breeds, and dog sat for neighbors, and family members. I don't just watch dogs; I build trust with them. Take the time to learn each dog's personality, routines, and quirks so they feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. I'm currently a stay-at-home dog mom who's working on building a coffee business/doggy daycare. I'm usually free from Monday-Friday, I'm flexible with scheduling! I can adapt to the environment around me, and work with how the pets are and what their routines are usually and allow the pets to feel comfortable with me.
