Dog Walking in Carmel

“Kathy is so great with our puppy! We booked her for the first time last week--Kathy walked with our pup, played with her, sent us photos and gave details on everything they did together. We are re-booking her for more walks!”

About: I absolutely love animals and have had plenty of experience at home dog walking and dog sitting for my neighbors. Although I have provided pet care while at home, I have been searching for similar opportunities while in school. My experience has consisted of me dog walking/dog sitting for Golden Retrievers, German Shepards, Shih Tzus, Labradors, Doodles, Westies, and Havaneses, and many other breeds. I enjoy dogs of all different sizes and would love to provide care while at school because I can't get enough of animals when I'm away from home. I am most accustomed to dog walking and dog sitting, which has included drop-ins and staying at a family's house while they're gone. I am currently a student, but during my free time would really love to provide pet care. I am a very responsible, organized individual who is able to provide day-to-day availability and can be a little flexible if needed. My love for animals is unexplainable and I am ready to keep your pets cheerful and safe! I currently am a part-time student so with my fall schedule, I'm available Tuesday afternoons and can be flexible on Fridays. My schedule is subject to change so feel free to message me and we can try to work something out! At home, I care for dogs both in and outside with a gated yard and am comfortable crating dogs if need be. I understand every dog is different and am adaptable to their needs.

“Karmen was great! Excellent communication and very considerate of Ruby’s needs. Highly recommend.”

“Lilly was great with our Labrador puppy. She kept us informed after each visit and included pictures of our dog. Thank you Lilly. Will use her again in the future.”

About: My love for dogs and cats. My theory of FurKids are like children to be treated with love, caring and providing their needs. I have my two dogs. They are my world. I would treat yours like mine. I am happy to help other if you need me. We can discuss which is I am flexible and open to discuss I am available from Sunday to Saturday. Can be morning or night. I can take care when you are not home for long hours, away from home I can do daily walk, drop in visit, stay in as needs. From 7 days and 24 hours. From range puppy/kittens to senior. Would Preference small to medium dogs.

About: I work from home and travel frequently so I know how important a good sitter is! I have always had animals in my home and worked in a vets office years ago while I was in college. Good care and play time are important for my dogs and I make those a priority. I’ll treat your fur babies as if they were mine and don’t mind doing extras if needed; brushing, baths, nail trims etc... I even know a few minor grooming techniques :), but am definitely no professional in that area. I am easy going and would love to take care of your animals till you get back home. I am not afraid of special requests so please don’t hesitate asking if needed. Thanks!

About: I’ve cared for animals ranging from rescued feral cats to anxious dogs and everything in between. My experience includes senior pets needing medication, high-energy pups, and even cats with strong personalities. I’ve helped out friends, volunteered for rescue orgs, and raised my own dog, Bronx, since he was a puppy. I adapt to each pet’s needs and understand their cues, whether they need a cuddle, a walk, or space to just be. Your pets are safe, respected, and treated like family. My current availability is Monday through Friday from 9 AM to 6 PM. On Saturdays, I'm available before 9 AM and after 1 PM. Sundays are more limited but still possible depending on location and timing. While I don’t currently offer overnight stays, I’m open to late-night check-ins and flexible evening visits if needed. My schedule may shift soon, but I’ll always do my best to coordinate around your pet’s needs! When caring for pets in your home, I always prioritize their comfort and routine. I follow feeding, walk, and medication instructions exactly as given, and I always give updates for peace of mind. I respect your space, clean up after your pets (and myself!), and make sure they’re safe, calm, and well-loved, whether it's a quick check-in or an overnight stay. I work especially well with shy or anxious pets and always give them time to warm up on their terms.

“Abby does a great job walking my dog. I can always depend on Abby and know that my dog will be well taken care of.”

About: Animals have always been an essential part of my life - from growing up with dogs, cats, and hamsters as pets, to working in a veterinary office for over five years. That hands-on experience means that I'm comfortable caring for pets with special needs, administering medication, and responding calmly in emergencies. I've also spent time volunteering for animal shelters, offering care and comfort to pets waiting for their forever homes. This has deepened my understanding of pet behavior. I know how to meet each pet where they are - whether they need a playful companion, a quiet presence, or a little extra TLC. I combine lifelong passion for animals with professional-level care. I treat every pet as if they were my own - with love, attentiveness, and respect for their unique personalities. Whether it's a play pup, or a shy kitty, I tailor my care to suit their needs. Pet care is personal for me. I lovingly cared for my own cat through renal failure, administering subcutaneous fluids at home and monitoring his condition day by day. That experience deepened my sensitivity to the physical and emotional needs of pets dealing with illness. Caring for animals isn't just something I do - it's part of my daily rhythm. I are my life with a curious and clever cat, Milo, who thrives on enrichment and adventure. Each day, I care out time to teach him tricks, take him for walks outside, and even go on bike rides and car trips together. We visit pet-friendly stores so he can build confidence, socialize, and explore new environments. I have a flexible work schedule and am available mornings or evenings and also can be available mid-day. Because pet care is how I live, I bring that same attentiveness and creativity to the pets I sit for. Whether it's fitting in quality cuddle time, keeping up with training routines, or making sure your pet feels loved and secure in your absence - it's all part of my routine. Your pet will be in the hands of someone who genuinely enjoys weaving their needs into everyday life. I understand that a pet's home is their sanctuary - and when I'm entrusted to care for dogs or cats in that space, I treat it with the same respect I would my own. I prioritize safety at every step, from ensuring doors and gates are secure to keeping a close eye on food, medications, and household hazards. I follow your care instructions with precision and stay alert to your pet's cues and comfort levels. Whether it's daily walks, litter box maintenance, playtime, or administering medication, I approach each task with calm attentiveness and compassion. I'm also experienced in supporting pets with medical needs and behavioral sensitivities, thanks to years working in a veterinary office and caring for my own special-needs cat. Consistency is key - so I am to keep pets in their regular routine to reduce stress and help them feel at ease while you're away. I also send regular updates, so you feel confident and connected, knowing your pet is relaxed, safe, and well cared for in their familiar environment.

“Leigh has done a great job with my little Terrier Mix, Rosie. Rosie took to her right away and can’t wait for her walks. Leigh is friendly and on time and you can tell she loves dogs and what she does very much! We will continue to re-book Leigh! 🐾❤️”

About: I was very fortunate to grow up around dogs my whole life, and am now an owner to a one year old golden retriever named Siena! I have experience with many breeds and all sizes and ages of dogs. With a deep understanding of individual pet personalities, I strive to create a safe, comfortable, and engaging environment for all the pets in my care. I treat every dog like my own- with lots of love, playtime, and attention. I only work 2 days a week, which allows me to be a stay at home dog mom the rest of the time. I am super flexible and dedicated to providing check-ins and personalized care tailored to your furry friends. I live in a safe, pet friendly apartment complex with direct trail access. My home is very clean and organized with dog-safe furniture. Willing to help with chores during dog walking and drop-in visits.

About: I have been pet sitting and dog walking for other people since the age of 11. In middle school my friend and I started a small animal care business that provided a range of services including bathing, walking, daycare, overnight care, and drop in visits. This small business carried us throughout middle school and even though it is no longer operating, I still work with many of the same clients. I recently finished my masters program and have a wide array of free time while I am looking for a full time position in my field. I plan to continue to provide animal care services part time even after obtaining employment. I have a large yard that is perfect for a game of fetch. If your dog enjoys playing with other friends I own a 19 weeks miniature Australian Shepherd that would love a new buddy. Carey grove park is also located just around the corner, making it a perfect area for walks and to explore.

“Makinsey came through for us on such a short notice and Leo loved her. We are very thankful she was able to walk Leo and will be looking for her again in the future.”

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.

“Emily was amazing!! We contacted her with very short notice and she was so helpful when we were in a pinch. Emily was flexible and very sweet when we requested some changes in our schedule. We appreciated the pictures and update. Looking forward to future walks! Thank you, Emily!”

About: I have always had pets in my life. My family has always relied on me to take care of our pets when they go on vacations and business trips as well as friends and neighbors. I also have a had a special needs pup in my life for 5 years now so I do have experience with extra needs for pets. I am currently in a job transfer and looking to try something new things so I have plenty of time to take care of your pets! I am ready to make sure your pets are well taken care of at home or in locations they need to be taken! I am willing to stay with pets if that is needed and I am also prepared to help take care of their needs even including special needs of that’s required!

“Erin was amazing and did a great job tiring out my 20 week old german shepherd. Highly recommend her!”

About: I have worked with dogs all of my life and have had many dogs of my own throughout my entire life. I dog sat many times for a family. They had two big dogs and were gone many weeks out of the year. I also have been to multiple dog training classes when I had my own dog attend. I feel as though I work well with animals and would love to care for your own. I hope you will consider me if your search. I have always been an animal lover and would make sure I treat your animals as my own. I would be a joy to be able to care tor your dogs. They definitely bring joy to my life. Thank you! I am working full time but am able to care for your animals anytime in the evening and any weekend you need. I have a routine and stick to that. I do not have any animals currently on my own. It would be the perfect place for them to feel comfortable. That is why I would love to spend time with your pets since currently I do not have love from them right now.
