Dog Walking Big Springs

About: Since I was 14, I’ve been responsible for taking care of my own dogs and those of my neighbors, family, and friends. I come from a large dog family, from a Great Pyrenees to Labs and German Shepherds, but I’ve also been able to care for smaller dogs in my neighborhood. I’ve also cared for sensitive and reactive dogs who came from hard backgrounds, so I have experience taking it slow to build trust. I also care for cats as well, with experience from my own 13 year old orange cat and my mom’s two crazy kittens. Whether it’s taking them on walks, playing tug of war, giving them meds, or just keeping them company, I love any time I get to spend with fur babies. I’m preparing to leave for a scholarship in Poland at the end of September after graduating with my Master’s degree in May, so my schedule is incredibly flexible. I am free most days and times with the exception of a few days with prior commitments throughout the summer. I strive to provide the best care with the utmost respect for you and your fur baby’s home. If there’s anything I should know about your pet’s care preferences or any neighborhood/environmental concerns, please let me know so that I may keep your pet safe at all times. I have experience with fenced in yards and open areas, as well as plenty of experience with flight risk dogs (those German Shepherds love to run!) and returning them safely home. My goal is to keep your pet and place safe and clean until you return home.

“River quickly warmed up to Joseph and was able to cover short notice walks for her this week. Highly recommend him to take care of your pet when life keeps you busy. Will use his services again.”

About: I’ve been around cats and dogs my entire life and have always had a love for animals. I’d be happy to provide the care, attention, and companionship your pets deserve while you’re away. Working from home Monday through Friday allows me to spend extra time caring for pets and ensuring they receive plenty of attention throughout the day. While my weekend schedule changes from week to week, I’m happy to help whenever I can with advance planning. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities. As a dedicated pet owner myself, I’ll provide the same level of care, respect, and attention that I give to my own pets.

“Chris did amazing with my dog. My dog is not easy to handle and doesn't go in the crate well and Chris took it like a champ! She is very friendly and my dog just loves her!”

“Lauren is absolutely wonderful! She has been patient and loving with my anxious rescue pup and I appreciate her for being so great with my Indy Girl. Looking forward to more walks in the future!”

Kristin E.

“Anne is the best! We always know Chloe is going to be well cared for when Anne is there!”

Katie L.

“Elizabeth was amazing! I’ve never booked someone through rover before and she made the experience very easy. Our dog is super stubborn and our dog seemed to really enjoy her and even potty for her. Our dog usually doesn’t potty for many people.”

Taylor A.

“I can't praise this person enough! She literally found my dog, who mistakenly got out of the house! I seriously thank God she was there for my dog.”

About: If you are looking for a loving environment for your small dog I am it. I have two very spoiled wonderful little fluffs and would be happy to help with your dog. I have also worked PT for a pet sitting company 5 years. I am a teaching assistant and I have free time in the afternoons to help with your pets. I am also available on weekends. In the summer I have open availability. I would love to meet with you to go over your needs first whether it be walking, yard play, feeding. Clean up and feedback on your pets day.

About: Hi, I’m Kendall! I’ve been caring for animals my whole life and have been providing pet care through Rover since 2023. I’m a proud cat mom to Topaz and Turbo, and I believe pets thrive with a balance of love, exercise, mental enrichment, and consistency. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, house sitting, and one-on-one doggy daycare for personalized attention. I enjoy learning about animal behavior and training, and I love helping pets stay active, confident, and engaged. I also have experience caring for very young animals, including bottle-feeding newborn kittens. When you trust me with your pet, you can expect reliable care, regular updates, plenty of affection, and someone who treats your furry family member like one of their own. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! I have plenty of time to give your all of your furry pets all the love and attention they will need while you are away. My schedule is updated regularly and I will be sure to fit my schedule around your needs once booked. One question I always ask my clients is “how long can your pet be alone?”. I adhere to those guidelines. I have plenty of experience with dogs & cats. I have dog/cat and house sit for the last several years for clients when they were out of town on vacation. I promise to provide your pups or kitties with safe, loving care.

About: Hello! I’ve taken care of dogs professionally for 7 years. I have worked at Hunt Club Boarding Kennel in Zionsville IN since 2019. My duties at this job include walking, feeding, administering medication, and caring for the overall comfort of the dogs we board. I love dogs and have always enjoyed working with them. I am attending grad school at IU this fall and I am looking to make some extra money doing something I love! I have a very flexible schedule and can easily incorporate pet care into my daily routine. I currently work part-time at Hunt Club Boarding Kennel, with shifts typically lasting 4–5 hours. Because of my schedule, I have no midday conflicts and am available to stop by between 12:00 p.m. and 3:30 p.m. every day for walks, potty breaks, feeding, playtime, or check-ins. I am also available in the mornings and evening depending on my kennel schedule! Please reach out for more availability! I am very comfortable controlling dogs regardless of size. I have my own leads but I have experience walking dogs with harnesses and other such devices. It might sound silly, but I understand the importance of proper harness application and know that if it is put on incorrectly this can lead to major issues. After 7 years of working at the kennel I am confident in my ability to read animal behavior and know what a dog is comfortable with or not.

About: Hello! I grew up with pets in my home. My first Job was walking my neighbors dog for 10 years. I walked, fed, and bathed and of course loved that pup as my own. He was my best friend we grew up together! Then some of my other neighbors got a hold of me to dog sit. I have cared for all sizes of dogs but I prefer small-medium pups. I have ALOT of time on my hands and would looove to go back to caring for animals! I can start anytime after 8 am to 9pm and if I am comfortable enough to be around I could possibly do overnights as long as both employee and employer feel comfortable enough. I feed my kitties early in the morning then I play with them during the day when they want. I clean their litter in the morning also. Then before bed I feed them and play with them again. I would do the same with any dog.

About: I have been taking care of my family goldendoodle since my sixth birthday. He is my best friend and I love spending time with him. He gets along great with other dogs in our extended family and is extremely friendly with people. I have been trusted with several dogs and can assure you I will love on your dogs and keep them well taken care of! I’m looking into a part time nanny position but my hours are flexible currently. My weekends are guaranteed to be open for overnight or daytime care! I have a sweet 13 year old mini golden doodle who gets along great with all kinds of dogs. I am also able to provide care in your home if you’re uncomfortable with other dogs around yours. I love to go on walks on the trails around my house, play fetch in football fields, and go to dog parks nearby. You can rely on me to follow your dogs feeding/crate schedule as well as ensure they are getting exercise!

“So professional and great communicator!!! Would recommend to anyone who needs someone to watch over their fur babies!”

About: I have been house/pet-sitting full time for two years now, with over 10 years of professional sitting experience, and a lifetime of living and playing around animals of all kinds. My senior dog companion, Mowgli, travels with me which brings a unique dynamic and ensures your pets have a friendly distraction from your absence. Since this is my full-time gig, you can rest assured that your animal’s and house’s wellbeing are my top priority while you are away. Working remotely gives me the freedom and flexibility to travel and spend extra time with your pets while you are away. I treat your animals and home as if they were my own. Since I will be living there, taking extra care to keep things tidy and organized is not only my way of providing excellent service, it’s a way for me to ensure Mowgli and I feel as at home as possible too. I know how I would want someone to treat Mowgli and my home if I were away, and that carries over into my own professional approach.

About: I’ve been watching dogs since I was about 8, I’ve been responsible for bathing, giving medicine and making sure they are well loved while owners are away. I specifically love the ability to care for the furry ones you love when you cannot devote the time needed or wanted for them! I am currently in nursing school so my schedule can be wonky some weeks, but my usual availability is 1-6 most weekdays and usually between 8AM and 9:00 PM on weekends! I have a Malshi (Maltese shihtzu mix) he plays mostly In our backyard as well as with my neighbors German Shepard, we live on a 1 acre plot.

“She's timely, and very good with communication. And thoughtful!”

About: I am a huge dog lover! My 7 year old lab/pit mix Conway is my rock and best friend. I care for all dogs like I care for Conway. I have had a dog all of my life, so I am very comfortable with pet care of all types. I am an experienced dog-walker as well and have cared for friends' and neighbors' pets for many years. Also, I am working on Conway's summer body and we are up to 3 mile walks a day. I am not saying that your dog needs all three miles but I am up for doing the long walks, if needed. I work from home every day. I have essentially wide open availability (minus some scattered meetings that will be scheduled ahead). I can care for your pet on any week day or weekend. Day or night. *Unfortunately, I do not have any pet care for my own dog. At this time, I will have to bring him with me for any house sitting opportunity. I am happy to set up any meet and greet.* I am caring and respectful of the owner's wishes. Having a dog of my own, I know how important it is for owners to ensure that they are leaving their fur babies home with somebody that cares and they trust. If an owner has specific directions of care, I will follow those to the T.
