Dog Sitting Carmel

About: I have extensive hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages and personalities. I’ve worked at two doggy daycares and a humane society, where I gained experience caring for and handling a wide variety of dogs. I’ve also shadowed at veterinary clinics and have had dogs my entire life. I’m comfortable caring for dogs from puppies to seniors and understand that every dog has different needs, energy levels, and personalities. I’m passionate about providing safe, loving, and attentive care to every dog I work with! Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine! I have always had animals and currently care for multiple pets, so I’m very comfortable building feeding, cleaning, exercise, playtime, and attention into my schedule. I enjoy spending time with animals and make sure they receive consistent care, attention, and plenty of love every day. I’m also happy to dedicate additional time to pet sitting, dog walking, and daycare depending on my schedule. I care for every pet as if they were my own. In a client’s home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and plenty of attention and cuddles. I’m respectful of their home and make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and never left without proper care. I understand that every pet is different, so I adjust my approach based on their age, personality, energy level, and individual needs.

“Kristen was great with my dog Reggie and was so great working with me and my changing timeline for visits! I would definitely use her services again! Thank you so much for supporting us in our new adventure and for caring for Reggie when we couldn’t.”

“Makinsey did great watching my pup after her spay surgery! I was a bit nervous leaving her with someone during her recovery, but Makinsey was so good with her and even got her to take her medicine (which she is really stubborn about).”

About: I’ve had guinea pigs, hamsters, hedgehogs, cats, and dogs as pets! Dogs and cats have always been my favorite especially my current kitty, Bluebell who is an adorable siamese! I work full time as a loan assistant 9-5 and am looking for those who need pet sitters after work or on the weekends. My days are usually flexible. When I am pet sitting, I always give my undivided attention to the animal I am looking after and am attentive to their behavior and health.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and have taken care of my own along with family and friend’s dogs. Able to work on training and take for regular walks. Currently working from home. Able to pay close attention to your pet and take on regular walks. Will ensure your pet has plenty of exercise and feels comfortable in our home. I have a large yard along with many walking trails in our neighborhood. Friendly family dog in the home. Able to care for pets and plants in their own home if preferred.

“Jazlin was wonderful with my cats!! It was such a relief knowing they were well cared for while I was away. Both cats warmed up to her! That means a lot. I hated the idea of them hiding...but I didn't need to worry...they both came out to meet her. She was super easy to work with and had great communication...I'd definitely book her again! Thanks, Jazlin!!!”

“Abby was great with our kitties! And we had a problem with ants that she graciously took care of as well. We will be booking her again in the future!”

About: I started to house/pet sit in 2012 and have been doing it 2-3 times a year ever since. I mostly have taken care of dogs, but have taken care of a couple of cats. I have a full time job on the south side of Indy. I work Monday through Friday, 7:30-4:00. I’m able to feed and take outside before heading to work (if staying at a client’s house) and after work, can take out, feed, and hang out with the pet(s). At a client’s home, I make sure dogs go out and potty and run around if they want to. I always check to see if the pets have plenty of water and give treats, per client’s directions. If a pet has an accident in the house, I will clean it up.

“Thank you Jenny, you are amazing and I appreciate you taking such good care of Mila! She truly found a new friend, we look forward to seeing you again!!”

About: I’ve always loved being around dogs! I've spent almost 3 years at a doggy daycare, where I'm actively learning how to read dog body language, keep group and 1-on-1 time safe, and handle feeding routines. Over the years, I’ve gained experience working with a variety of personalities including dogs who are reactive or display aggressive behavior. I also have my own reactive dog so I understand firsthand how important it is to be patient, attentive, and consistent. Taking care of animals is something I truly enjoy, and I always do my best to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I’m currently working part-time, but I’m free most Mondays and Wednesdays from the morning through late afternoon. Fridays are usually open from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., since I work at 2 p.m. Feel free to ask about other days too, and I can let you know what works for me 😊 I unfortunately can't provide space for your beloved pet as I have a reactive dog and cat. However, I believe that I'm able to make your pet feel comfortable in its own home even if you're gone. I can be playful but also relaxed. I will be able to give your pet plenty of attention when they want it!

About: Taken care of family and friends pets for many years, very patient and willing to go the extra mile. No formal experience but been in a pet owning family my whole life. Currently living with my family and have many days free, always available on short notice and willing to do overnights. Have reliable transportation and a desire to meet new furry “customers”. Am very kind and understanding to all pet personalities, love to take walks and play. Informal training is a skill of mine and I love to see pets learn new things.

“Abigail provided exceptional care for our dog during our absence! Her reliability was unmatched, and she maintained excellent communication with us regarding our dog's well-being during each drop-in visit. She displayed remarkable attentiveness not only to our dog's needs but also to any household requirements.”

Your dog will also have the company of our well-socialized Goldendoodle, who loves walks and gets along wonderfully with other dogs.

I am currently available for the weekends, if you need for weekdays, please request I can look into it. I can just walk the dog or happy to board them during night.

“When I spoke with Lisa the first time I knew she would be great with Marlie! She and I had a lot in common besides our names. Then she met Marlie and I and we discussed all facets of taking care of her while we were on vacation. She gave me updates on how things went and things sounded good and Marlies report card was great! I was never concerned once. Will definitely call upon her again! Thanks Lisa!”

About: I am outgoing, energetic, friendly, and upbeat. I have had many years experience caring for both dogs and other animals; whether my own, through pet sitting, dog walking, or in my job(s) at veterinary hospitals. I am comfortable with all sizes and breeds of dogs. I am able to give meds or injections if needed. I am available for drop in visits, walks, or overnight pet sitting in my home or drop in visits at yours. I stay at home, so my hours and availability are extremely flexible. I love getting to visit or host other dogs, especially as I don't currently have any fur babies of my own. I really enjoy spending time with the dogs I care for, and past clients of mine have become like family! I am a stay at home, homeschooling mom of three girls, 18, 13, 10, and one 3 year old boy (who are all very comfortable and gentle with dogs). Dogs who stay with us are given all kinds of love and attention! While I don't have a fenced yard, we do frequent walks and also have access to neighbors yards that are fenced. I stay home with my kiddos and we homeschool, so even if I need to be gone, at least one of my teens are usually home. It's rare that we are away, so your dog would get lots of attention! We have some regular clients we do drop in visits for daily on weekdays. I do not have a fenced yard, but I do have access to using neighbors fenced yards if needed. Your dog would get multiple walks when they need to go potty, but I also try to do longer walks depending on their health, weather, etc.

About: I own four rescue dogs, three of which are small and one of which is medium. I am currently fostering a cat and an elderly dog. All of my animals will be in their crates if you book me for boarding. I’m currently free 24/7 so I’ll have plenty of time to entertain your pets. Although come August I will be back in collage and I’ll only be able to mornings and nights. I have a large fenced yard with plenty of space to play and currently five small/medium sized dogs that are very friendly for your pet to play with.

About: I have a genuine love for all animals and extensive experience caring for them. I frequently care for my grandpups. I ran a boarding kennel for 8 years where I cared for animals with many different needs, including insulin injections, oral medications, ointments etc. Providing specialized care as directed by owner. Our animals are not just pets, but a cherished member of our families. In my care they will be cared for as such, with love and care. Also cared for special needs pets; blind, deaf, whatever their need may be. I do work full time Monday-Friday 8 - 5. I could visit prior to work, after work for a walk/playtime.and again later in the evening for goodnight pre goodnight walk and love. Unfortunately I don’t have a fenced in yard but I live on a nice quiet, dead end street which works well for shorter walks and am just a short walk to walking trails.

“Allison was amazing with our 17-year-old cat. She was so loving, patient and gentle with her! We have used her multiple times and will continue to do so.”
