Dog Walkers in Avilla, IN

“Alexis did a great job with Sophie. Sophie liked her when she first walked in the door, which is always a great sign because dogs have great instincts in people thanks, Alexis, see you Wednesday!”

“Deanna has skills. When our reactive rescue got out of the car, Deanna kept her hands relaxed and at her sides. She continued to talk with us and did not look at our girl. This is exactly how to meet an anxious dog! And our Portia responded by walking right up to Deanna and sniffing her. Portia walked with Rick this walkie. But Portia did walk between Deanna and him. She would normally be as far from anyone not us, as she could get! Most excellent! Our Mr. Baloo has never met a stranger and he was happy to make her acquaintance! We have already rebooked! Thanks Deanna!”

About: For as long as I can remember, I have always had an animal in my life. I got a puppy at a young age and cared for him up until the day he passed. Since becoming an adult, I adopted a kitten and continue to care for him. He is now 6 and the light of my life! I have an extremely flexible schedule! I currently work part time with a lot of availability. I’m available at almost any hour of the day. I currently have a cat but he has his own space if tensions were to rise. I have a mid sized unfenced yard, but I know of multiple dog parks. I’m available to cuddle up with animals or wear out some energy!

About: I am available for in home pet care and house sitting, along with plant care, gardening, yard and pool maintenance. I have not completed any sits through Rover yet, but have been a pet sitter with TrustedHousesitters since 2018 and MindMyHouse since 2022. I am available for short and long term in home pet sits anywhere (but depends on where I’m traveling at that time). I am a snowbird and travel South Nov-April. I live in NE Indiana the rest of the year. If I happen to be in your area and don’t need to stay overnight in your home, I’m open to just stopping by and walking them. Just send me a message and we can figure it out. I’m also flexible with dog size and breed, but probably will decline sitting large breeds if we cannot do a meet and greet or they are not trained. I have sat for many senior pets, puppies, kittens and multiple animals at once. I prefer to sit for small-medium breeds, but will sit for large breeds if there’s only one and they are not difficult to walk. I bring over 30 years of experience in house/pet sitting. I have bonded with so many sweet pets (of all ages, sizes and breeds (please see my 5 star reviews under my photos). I have a flexible schedule and reliable transportation, therefore I have no trouble driving up to 16 hours to do a house sit, depending on where I am at the moment. I have extensive experience with gardening, plant care, and yard maintenance. I worked as a florist for 10 years and have always had a garden and eclectic selection of plants of my own. Finally, I love photography and will most likely send you lots of cute photos of your pets. I work remotely five days a week and am able to be around your pets throughout the day to ensure they have the love and attention that they need. I will care for your pet in your home and can stay up to 1-3 months if I’m traveling. If I happen to be in your area and don’t need to stay overnight in your home, I’m open to just stopping by and walking them. Just send me a message and we can figure it out. Please see my reviews from my pet sitting experience via TrustedHousesitters.

I work from home Monday-Friday, and my wife works from home only 3 days a week, allowing a lot of flexibility for potty breaks and play time. We are also home most of the time on weekends. We have a comfortable, fenced in backyard and a cage for inside if needed. We have 2 friendly dogs that have been around plenty of other dogs with no issues, and always love the extra company. Our 2 cats also get along well with dogs, and have always been around them.

About: Animals have been a passion of mine all of my life. I have owned and cared for many species including fish, reptiles, birds, hamsters, dogs and cats. My love for animals brought me to work as a veterinary assistant and later to attend the Tom Rose School for Professional Dog Trainers. I have now been training and competing with my own dogs for 20 years and am also a professional dog trainer. As a trainer, I have earned the credentials to be an AKC Canine Good Citizen/S.T.A.R. Puppy/ Farm Dog/ Trick dog evaluator. With my veterinary assistant and dog training experience I have gained the knowledge to properly handle and care for many beloved pets. I can assure you that I will treat your pets as if they were my own. I am looking forward to meeting you and your furry family member! I am available most days. Mondays and Wednesdays I am unavailable between 9:00AM-5:00PM. I have plenty of time to provide services for you and your pets. If boarding in my home- you can use my kennel set up or bring your own crate. I have a nice, fenced play yard that I use to let my dogs and visiting dogs run and play (I do not let my own dogs play with visiting dogs). I also have a built-in dog bathtub that I can used to give your dog a nice bath (for an added fee) before they return home upon request. When I visit a home- I follow given instructions and keep the area clean. My goal is for you to not even notice I was there. When I visit to walk your pet-I follow instructions and keep the area clean. I remain aware and not distracted. This ensures your pet remains safe and engaged during the walk. If your dog is more fearful-I try to make the walk as stress-free as possible.

I’ve absolutely adored my students and clients and would like to shower my love on your pet-angel(s) as well! I have recently retired from my careers as a high school teacher and from social work. What this means is that I now have ample time to spend with your pet(s) each weekday and weeknight as well as on the weekends! create my own schedule on an as-needed basis for you…plus I usually have weekends free for ample time with your pet. I love to walk, play and give lots of love and attention so those will be incorporated frequently! I will treat your pet(s) and home with the utmost respect as I do my own. I will stay in frequent contact with you and will take pictures throughout the visit and send updates each night so you can be assured of my service and your pet’s well-being.

About: I’ve taken care of and been around dogs my entire life. I have dog sat for numerous people with one dog or more. I love animals just like babies. They all deserve all the love and attention possible. 💗 I currently work full-time with a flexible schedule and have the ability to work from home when necessary. I come home through my work days periodically to check on my own fur babes. I am a moderately active person. My dogs and I love to play outside, with their favorite toys and going on walks. My dogs are my four legged children, and I will be sure to treat yours as my own in my care. We have a doggy door with a four foot privacy fence for the babes to go in and out whenever they please. I am more than happy to crate your dog if you need and make sure they are fed specific foods if needed as well.

About: Through my experience in 4-H dog obedience school, I have learned how to effectively teach skills such as sitting, staying, coming, and heeling. I also understand how to use proper vocal tones to help dogs learn more efficiently. I have extensive experience caring for dogs both in their own homes and within my own. Please let me know if you would like to discuss how I can help care for your pet. My daily routine is very flexible, allowing me to provide dedicated care for your dogs in my home or to perform drop-in visits throughout the day to suit your schedule. If you have any upcoming travel or are in need of additional help during the week, please let me know. I would be happy to discuss how I can best support you and your pets. For visits at my home, I have a partially fenced yard, so I always use a leash for walks within the yard and throughout my safe, friendly neighborhood. My children also love dogs and will likely be around to provide plenty of attention during in-home stays. If I am visiting your home, I can let your pet out into your yard or take them for walks nearby. Please be assured that whenever we are outside of a secured area, your dog will always be leashed. I understand that your dog is a member of your family, and I am committed to providing them with the same love and care I give my own children.
