Dog Walking Bloomington

About: I have 50+ hours volunteering to walk dogs at a local shelter. I am capable of preforming basic dog and cat grooming (cutting nails, bathing, tooth brushing, etc.) and I have extensive experience caring for senior pets and training puppies. I am currently working a full time job that is very flexible, so I have plenty of time to devote to your pets! Drop ins and house sitting are my primary options! I’ve done it all: pet sitting, long or short walks, boarding and, of course, taking care of my own pets! I’ve given medication to dogs/cats of various ages and sizes. We can go for walks, hikes, swim and even have a park day. If your dog is less active, I can adjust our activity level!

About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was around 10 years old when I got my first dog to take care of. I also offer to take care of friends and families dogs anytime! I have one cavapoo currently who is almost a year old and trained! I’m currently working part-time so my schedule is flexible, and I do not work nights, so I’m able to do overnights every night if needed. I live in a secure apartment with open areas to run around and go for walks with a dog park nearby. I have one cavapoo currently who loves to be kept company with other dogs.

“Katherine was amazing with Apollo! I needed two last minute walks and she was able to accommodate. She sent lots of photos and details. Apollo loved her!”

“She does great! Very friendly and calm with our high energy dog. He really likes her and is happy when he realizes now is time for their walk!”

About: I have plenty of experience taking care of animals growing up. I spent some time caring for my family's disabled dog, so I am not afraid of tackling some extra conditions. Friends and family have loved me as a top choice for petsitting. I can work weekends pretty consistently. As long as I have a notice ahead of time (preferably two weeks), then I am able to accommodate most times. I do best with specific instructions. I do not mind spending a little extra time hanging out with them because I know how lonely they can get when they miss you! My own home does have two cats, so I can not take in aggressive pets, but otherwise, I am able to provide walks, outside time, and a separate room from the rest of the animals.

About: **I have years of experience fostering and training reactive, aggressive, and fearful dogs. I’ve seen many transform into well-adjusted companions under my care** I have years of experience caring for and tending to older dogs and cats with various health issues like hip dysplasia and incontinence, in addition to puppy and kitten care, too. I am patient and kind even with the highest maintenance puppies. I fostered neglected/previously abused dogs with Carolina Adopt-A-Bulls rescue for over 4 years. I am very experienced with mitigating leash reactivity and caring for heartworm-positive pets throughout their treatment, and I look out for dangerous situations before they happen. I am well versed in canine first aid and wound care. I am also a foster volunteer through the Bloomington Animal Shelter. I do not currently have a foster dog. I am attentive, caring, experienced, and kind. I can’t wait to meet your pets. I am a doctoral student, so I have some flexibility in my schedule. I’m booked up until 6pm on Wednesdays, but have more flexibility the rest of the week. I can take your pup for walks around the neighborhood, campus, or the many parks Bloomington has to offer. I have a comfy dog bed for canine visitors to lounge in while I’m studying.

About: Hi! I’m Samantha, a lifelong animal lover and proud pet parent of 13 years. For over a decade, I have cared for my own pets and have also had the pleasure of pet sitting annually for four wonderful families. Whether it is walks, playtime, or feeding, I treat every animal like my own. I am available during 12:00 PM-1:00 PM most weekdays for a quick visit and after 5:00 PM. I am available most weekends for all hours. I personally do not do dog/cat sitting in my own home. I do have a lovely 1 year old mini Schnauzer named Suki and had a beloved mini Schnauzer named Layla for 9 years!

“Thank you Anna taking such good care of Ivy!”

About: I have been around and loved dogs for my entire life. One of our family dogs had two litters while I was in high school and I helped take care of and raise the puppies. I also frequently pet-sat for neighbors and friends. Last year my wife and I adopted a puppy from Puerto Rico who we adore. I look forward to giving your pets the care and love they deserve! I do freelance work as a musician and dancer, so I have a fairly unpredictable schedule. Currently I am available on weekdays from 8 AM to 10 PM but I can be available on some weekends. I am happy to play with your dogs in their home or yard, to work on training as needed (our dog has been in training courses for around six months), or to do whatever else your dog will enjoy! I also enjoy walks and am happy to take your dog around the neighborhood or to nearby parks.

About: I’ve pet sat since age 10, having 3 dogs of my own growing up. I have pet sit for neighbors, friends, and family through the years Im a student, but my schedule is pretty flexible! I’m a student athlete at IU, and an animal behavior major. Feel free to reach out about scheduling! I make sure to follow your specific instructions carefully such as potty breaks when needed, feeding times, play time, locking up the crates(if applicable), etc

About: I've taken care of pets for more than seven years, from dogs and cats to birds, fish, and rabbits. I have experience with kittens, and with seniors that need a little extra help. I know how scary it can be to leave your pets at home, so my goal is to give them the highest level of love and care possible so you can feel peace of mind while you're away. I'm currently working on a master's degree, so my schedule is very flexible with only a couple classes every day. I'm comfortable with either drop-in or overnight roles, and will have plenty of time to make sure your pets get lots of attention! I am always extremely careful to follow all of the details of the care plan to keep your pets and home safe. Whether that's triple checking to make sure that escape artists stay where they need to, or sitting with a senior cat for an hour to make sure he eats, or helping a mobility-challenged dog down the porch stairs safely, I will do whatever it takes to keep your pets healthy, happy, and safe.

About: Hi there! I’m an avid animal lover with a gentle, patient approach to pet care. I share my home with a sweet kitty named Evie and my rescue beagle, Mylo: a lovable goofball who keeps me humble and well‑trained. I always look after every pet with the same attentiveness, patience, and high quality care I give my own little crew. 🐾 󠁺 Before pursuing social work, I actually planned to become a veterinary technician, and that early passion for animals has stayed with me. I’ve volunteered at the Wabash animal shelter, spent years riding horses, and gained hands‑on experience with all kinds of personalities and needs. Mylo, who struggles with anxiety, has taught me a lot about de‑escalating reactivity and building trust through positive reinforcement. He also takes daily medication, so I’m very comfortable administering meds and following specific care routines. Mylo likes to think of it as his “evening treat with extra steps.” 󠁺 Over the past several years, I’ve pet‑sat for friends, family, and their extended circles. This has allowed me to care for pets of all ages and ranging needs. No matter the temperament, I adapt to each animal’s personality, mood, and boundaries. Striving to create a calm, reassuring environment where your pet feels understood is central to my approach as a caregiver. 󠁺 Please reach out if you have any questions! Your pet's comfort is my priority ❤️ My schedule is currently very open as I wrap up my internship, and I’m available for daily check‑ins, walks, and overnight stays! Please feel free to reach out with any questions, I’m always happy to connect. ❤️🐕‍🦺🎾 I love caring for pets where they feel safest, their home 🏡🐾. While I’m there, I carefully follow your pet’s routine and keep their space clean and comfortable, so you return to a happy, relaxed fur baby and a home that feels just as you left it (or better).

“Savannah was great this week with my little dog, Chloe. She was prompt and communicative. Chloe normally takes some time to warm up to new people but made fast friends with her.”

About: I have taken care of animals my whole life. I have always had at least one cat, and had dogs for 17 years of my life. I have also taken care of family and friends’ pets while they are out of town plenty of times. I am available all day every day for any kind of pet needs, and I can house cats overnight, however, I am unable to house dogs overnight. I am within walking distance of a dog park, and can bring animals inside or outside, whichever their needs are. I can also keep and transfer pets inside crates as needed.

About: I’ve loved caring for pets since childhood and have been sitting professionally for the past several years. I offer house visits and dog walking, with experience caring for dogs, cats, reptiles, and other small animals. I am trained in Pet Care First Aid and have experience administering medications and giving injections. Previously, I worked with PAWSome Pet Sitting and now provide independent care in town. I can’t wait to meet your pets! I am available throughout the week and on weekends, offering flexible scheduling to provide your pets with consistent, reliable care whenever you need extra support. I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and respect in every home, ensuring that pets are cared for in a secure, comfortable environment while following all client instructions.

About: I’ve been around pets my whole life, my mom managed vet offices and shelters so I was never without (at least) 2 dogs and 4 cats. I started fostering puppies and kittens on my own when I was 10. Currently the mom of a sweet orange tabby. I would love to give your pets the love, play, and care they deserve when you’re away! I’m currently available all day, everyday for your furry friends! If needed, I even have availability to stay over night. I’m particularly a fan of morning walks :) I am very detail oriented, will follow your directions to a T, and reach out with any questions. You know what’s best for your pets! I have experience in childcare, so I know safety always comes first. Also, with my volunteer work at shelters, I understand how to calm grumpy dogs and cats down (and get their zoomies out, so you don’t come home to a gremlin!)

About: During highschool, I was on path to be a vet taking various animal science classes and volunteering weekly at my local shelter. I have fostered a litter of puppies, adopted 2, and am currently fostering a cat! I have administered medication, dog sat, trained animals, learned basic grooming needs, and of course walked plenty of dogs! I am currently working a part-time job while I search for a full-time post grad. I will be in Bloomington for two more months and need a way to get out of the house and get exercise! Since I will be mostly dog walking, I will be sure that during every minute your animal is with me that they are happy and healthy!

“Maya was wonderful and patient with my dog. She is also a great communicator; asked plenty of questions when the need came up to make sure my dog received the proper care.”

About: I have cared for and loved dogs all my life! I started pet sitting at the age of 12 and since have continued to provide off and on care for furry loved ones over the past 20 years. I am very comfortable with larger breeds after caring for my own sweetie pup Great Pyrenees over the past 7 years. My job is 100% remote so I have quite a bit of flexibility when it comes to shifting around my schedule or taking my work with me wherever I go! I think a dog’s routines are very important! When in a client’s home, I will always stick to rules and schedules that work best for the home and (most importantly) your pup!
