Dog Walkers in Chesterton, IN

About: Rest assured: Your sweeties are in caring hands, while you’re away 💛. I have experience with dogs/cats/pets of all ages/sizes and breeds/personalities. I currently work from home and keep my calendar updated regularly. This allows me to be attentive to any regimented care plan… I’m also happy to assist with training/manners 🐾. If you request a specific number of walks per day while boarding, I’m happy to provide them at a reduced rate (as I don’t have to spend the additional time traveling to your home). As a pet owner of 35 years and a life-long animal lover, I’ve cared for my own puppies, kittens, and elderly pets over the years… Their quirky personalities have brought nothing but joy to our home! I’ve also been asked to watch other pets— Including a Sun Conure Parrot, chickens, pigs, horses, “farm sitting,” and exotic littles such as snakes, bearded dragons, hamsters, gerbils, chameleons and ferrets! Don’t hesitate to ask if you need additional help. We currently have 2 dogs of our own: One loves to socialize and play with our guests, while the other usually searches for the sunniest window in the house, to nap until the next potty/treat break. I currently work from home and keep my calendar updated regularly. This allows me to be attentive to strict potty/medication and walk/play schedules, if your pet is in need of a more regimented care plan. I offer drop-in play dates, walks, back-yard potty/play dates and feeding/litter changes, based upon your instruction. I’m also able to host your pets in my home, if you need a sitter. Before booking services with new clients, I require a meet & greet, so that I can get to know everyone and have a clear understanding of your pet’s personality and needs 😁!

“Buckster is happy when I get home. It’s nice knowing I can depend on Shanie to show up and care for him. 👍”

“Alexis was absolutely fantastic taking care of my baby Luna! Luna is only 6 months old, has a lot of energy, is not fully trained and I'm sure was a handful for someone to walk in day-one and manage, But she did above and beyond. She brought toys and puzzles, made sure Luna was fed and properly walked. She updated me on how the walks went, when she arrived and left, told me about the other dogs Luna got to meet along the walks and seemed totally joyful and sincere about spending time with my sweet girl. I will be hiring Alexis over and over in the future!”

“Grace is wonderful! She is reliable, caring, and really goes the extra mile. She always updates me with pictures when she’s out walking my dog. She’s very knowledgeable on training and incorporates her techniques into time with my dog. It’s brings me peace at work knowing my baby is in such good hands!”

About: I have run my own business Holliewood Doo Doo Adventures for 10 years (here in Facebook..check me out). Started out as waste pick up and branched out from there as I got older and it provided flexibility with schedules Also myself and my family have worked with ABRA, Inc Rescue to help foster 3 Dogs to help give them love and Discipline and skills to be able to be adopted out. I enjoy providing the Love, Patience, Time needed for each animal as every personality and needs are different. Also, knowing that they are a part of our families and to help soothe them in the transition as well as fur parents when they need to leave Currently I am a College student and this fits into my schedule well and I have flexibility and that's why I love it. I am now off for the Summer and even though I go back in the fall I work around my online classes. I have 2 dogs of our own and a cat. Realizing they have individual needs and they love the safe space of their own home it is important to me to provide that care that you specifically may need for them. You know this and I have so many that suffer from Anxiety or Seniors that do better in their own homes. That is what I am here for...whether they require so many walks per day or snuggles or play time

“Julie is wonderful with my greyhounds, they love it when she can walk them.”

“Amanda was amazing! My dog liked her instantly despite being selective. She also knew how to handle Marcie who is a bit of a nervous dog and can be reactive. I would absolutely recommend Amanda!”

This includes walking them, several times a day, feeding them dinner (sometimes with human food), playing with them, and calming them down when they get anxious.

About: I have a long history of dog walking and care experience. I love big dogs that are able to run and be active, however I appriciate small dogs as well! I am a runner so enjoy taking dogs on runs if they are big enough or you are comfortable with that. I like playing with dogs however they feel comfortable, and generally can become a dog’s friend quickly and gain their trust. I know the importance of a dog trusting it’s caregiver/walker in order to create a positive experience for them. I have a job where I can create my own schedule, so have flexibility in when I can walk and dog sit. Dogs truly are great companions and friends and I am excited to be a part of your dog’s well being. I have my own 1 year old golden retriever, and absolutely love spending time with him! I will treat your pets as I do my own, as family! I have my own dog so know the importance of safety and trust. I will make sure your pet is kept safe and comfortable at all times.
