Dog Walkers in Benton, IN

“Great job. Happy dog. Thanks!”

Duane M.

About: I've taken care of pets since I can remember. This past year I have started dog sitting for friends and family and they have trusted me to care for their animals like I would for my own. I am currently working part-time and am enrolled in college, doing mostly online work. I am able to work around my work schedule and leave periodically if needed to care for a pet. I make sure to have lots of outside time with my own pets. We play fetch and go on walks daily. I have a fenced in yard to make sure my pets are safe.

“Christy does a great job - highly recommend”

About: Loving, Reliable Pet Care from a Lifelong Animal Advocate I specialize in caring for your fur friend IN YOUR HOME ONLY Over 25 Years of Experience | Calm Presence | Gentle, Attentive Care Hello! I'm a retired Nurse's Aide and lifelong animal lover with over 25 years of pet care experience—and a soft spot for furry companions of all ages. Whether it’s a shy cat or a senior pet needing special attention, I offer a calm, reliable presence and a deep well of experience. I’ve cared for dogs and indoor cats. My approach? Gentle, observant, patient, and full of love. Why choose me? I’m home full-time, so your pet will get consistent, one-on-one attention. I understand animal behavior and respond with kindness, not force. I’m experienced with administering medications and caring for aging pets. I treat every animal like family - because they are. Families often say I’m the kind of sitter they don’t have to worry about - because they know their pets are truly in good hands. If you're looking for someone with old-school reliability and a heart full of love for animals, I’d be honored to care for your pet. Let’s connect, I’d love to meet you and your furry friend. I’m retired and home most of the day, which means your pet will have a calm, steady presence and attentive care. I shape my schedule around their needs, feeding times, walks, play, medications, or just quiet company. Mornings and evenings are reserved for routine care, while afternoons often include one-on-one time, enrichment, or simply being nearby so your pet feels secure. Pet care isn’t something I squeeze in - it’s part of the rhythm of my day. Your fur friend's comfort and safety come first. I create a calm, secure environment with clear routines and close supervision. I take time to learn each pet’s personality, triggers, and needs - so I can respond with confidence and kindness. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and your pet’s routines. I follow instructions exactly, keep things tidy, and send updates so you’re never left wondering. Trust isn’t assumed. It’s earned - through consistency, care, and respect for both pets and people.

About: I’ve always been asked to take care of animals by friends and family. I’ve always been asked to pet sit due to my love for animals and my ability to love them as my own.

I enjoy the flexibility of pet sitting and how well it works with my schedule and how I also get to build bonds with animals! Fenced in yard with two cats. We do not accept animals that have no experience with cats/ dogs not get along with cats. We also require meet and greets to provide the best care for your animals make sure our home is a good fit.

About: I've had cats and dogs growing up, and have loved taking care of them. I've pet sitted for neighbors the past couple of years, and have recently widened my customer range. I have cared for dogs of all ages, cats, and birds! I will have a part time job so there are days when I’m out of the house for 8 hours, but not super often. My weekends are pretty free typically! I head to college in late August, so I just have a few months to take care of animals. I try to care for pets as closely to how their owners do so they feel comfortable! I will happily play with them indoors or out, or just cuddle with them if that’s what they like. I can also crate them if that’s their safe place.

I am a stay at home mom , I have a pretty open schedule and have plenty of time for dog caring and walking also very open to boarding as well. I have a small fenced in porch area where you dogs can play along with my 3 other small dogs. And can also easily crate your dog when needed. I have a nice neighborhood to take your dogs on a stroll.

About: I am currently unavailable until April 8th, 2020 due to a study service trip with Goshen College. Feel free to contact me, but know you will not receive a response until April 8th. Thank you for understanding. I have no professional experience with dog care, however I have cared for numerous pets over the last 15 years of my life (I'm 21 now) and have loved every bit of it. I am looking to get some extra cash by doing something I love while in college. I love taking dogs to the park to play for hours and then snuggling up with them later because they are so tired. It's my favorite thing to do is tire a dog out so much that all it does is want to sleep later (kind of like a kid, haha). Really just looking for an excuse to spend time with animals. Professionally speaking, I am a student in college studying Sociology and Psychology. I am a part time lifeguard/supervisor, a swim coach, and part time data and research assistant at a local nonprofit organization. I anticipate a Spring 2020 graduation

About: I’ve enjoyed watching some friends dogs espcially smaller ones. They are so sweet. I fed them, took them outside, played with them, and provided companionship while the owners were away. I am currently working 11-8 so could be there with the animals in the morning and evening. The animals would be well taken care of. I don’t have a place for animals at my home, but while watching my friends animals I made sure to leave quickly while they were distracted. I also made sure to have them put in their crate before leaving.

About: I can't help but attempt to nurture every animal I come across, from a baby squirrel to adopting my former streetcat (Iroh). In addition to housesitting, catsittting, and dogsitting for a number of people in Indianapolis, just in this past year alone, I've also taken upon the responsibility of self-fostering 3 kittens. Recently, I finished 5 months of bathing/grooming training experience through Petco. This past experience has taught me the importance of pet safety and taught me much about dog care and health, from regular bathing to nutrition. I've taken care of several different species of pets in the past 15 years, including several in/outdoor cats, a rabbit, two hamsters, a chameleon, and a former family Labrador Retriever. Since I was young, I've had a large amount of compassion and consideration for all living critters and creatures. I now spend much my time commiting to reading and research about dogs, cats, and other animals. My experience, multiple-species expertise, and unconditional care creates a space where your pet is not only looked after, but loved on. Being a total free-spirit, I currently possess a large amount of flexibility and an open calendar. Especially around those family holidays. I can offer what few others can in this moment, time, intentionality and availability in pet care. 🗓️✨ As a current cat parent myself, I appreciate when I know my cat is in good hands. This not only relieves my stress, but his as well. I can return to preparing for my trip, meeting, or holiday prep worry-free. I have firsthand experience placing my pet's care into another's hands. It took so much much trial, error, and good luck before I settled on a small roster of people who look out for my baby just as well as I can. My fur child deserves to be just as safe and comfortable in his living arrangements as I am in mine, no matter where I am. Finding that type of care is no small feat either. Assuaging my worries (and his) on top of everything else that traveling demands, can really be the cherry on the top of my stress-out sundae. If you resonate with some of these concerns, then I may be the pet sitter for you. I will read the list of your special care instructions AND follow through on their necessities to soothe your nerves and those of your pet. Given the opportunity, I'd love to be a companion they can count on for meals, play/fun times, walks, and any other special activities you share with your little one. Meanwhile, allowing you to relax and lean into your confidence that your pet is in great hands. So, let me do what is necessary to remedy, not only your anxiety, but your pet's as well. I'd love to be the person for you and your companion. 🤓📝

About: Note that I am also applying for additional work, so my schedule may be limited to mornings and evenings. I will not be able to house dogs. I can run or walk with any breed and size of dog, I can give dogs their food, water, and any needed medicine (I can also supply pill pouches). I am also a careful driver with a large enough car in case if a dog needs to be taken to a vet, a pet store, or the park. I always keep dogs on leashes and take any standard precautions I can to make sure that a dog does not run away, including always having them on a leash, watching them while they are outside (if there isn't an enclosed space). Like the above note, I’m also applying for additional work. While I am free over the summer, I’m liable to move away between now and the end of August I cannot care for pets within my home due to landlord’s limitations. However, I can handle long walks to get a dog the right amount of exercise. I’m also willing to give medications if necessary. I can also water plants, feed caged animals, etc.
