Dog Walkers in Columbia City, IN

“I had a last minute need for a dog walker and Alydia was extremely accommodating! My pup, Maximus, had an immediate liking to her so that says enough! I received tons of photos from their walk which set my mind at ease knowing he was in great hands! I would highly recommend Alydia and will be having her walk my pup again!”

“Andrea has been excellent over the years as my pet sitter, both when I've had to be away for vacation or daily work check-ins. She is reliable and connects to the animals. I've had her for both cats and dog family members. She helps eliminate separation anxiety over a long day. Highly recommend!!”

“Madilyn has done a wonderful job with our dog George. She normally will come over to let him out when we are on vacation or walk him on days we can not physically get out of the house. George has even learned a few tricks, like shaking hands and waiting for his treats to be handed to him.”

“Jess has always loved all animals and I have always trusted her with my pets. When I got my first dog she was there to help me with the transition. I would've been lost without her help.”

“Ashley is so great with my Pip! She arrived on time and walked my high energy pup! He didn’t want her to leave! lol! She’s great with communication!! We are looking forward to our weekly walks!!!”

“Mikendra is very good with pets. She watched my dog Jumper for me a couple weeks ago and he loves her. He was happy to go on walks and play with her. Would definitely recommend her to take care of your fur babies!”

“Keegan Smothermon is a very responsible and caring young man. He has helped me for the past 7 years with a rescue dog I got from the animal shelter. She is so excited when he comes! I watched him help a baby bird that fell out of the nest and also saw him gather information on how to help a baby bunny that's family had been taken by a predator. He is truly an animal lover and a responsible pet caregiver.”

About: I've been around dogs ever since I was a child. I rarely come across a dog that I don't like or that doesn't like me! I currently do dog sitting and walking for friends and family and would love to expand my services to others looking for high quality dog care. I work part-time so I usually have a very flexible schedule with a lot of availability. Mornings through afternoons are usually the best times . I meet the needs of the dog owner when watching dogs in a client's home. I understand that dogs can have varying needs/schedules. I feel comfortable giving dogs necessary medicines and meeting any special needs. I can go the extra mile to make sure your dog(s) are happy and safe. I've even saved a dog that fell in a pool once!

“Makayla is awesome! My dog can be hesitant around new people but immediately warmed up to her which I immediately recognized as a win. She went above and beyond to make sure both my dog and I were comfortable, with her excellent communication, flexibility, and easy-going disposition. I would 100% recommend Makayla to anyone looking for exceptional care for their four-legged loved one.”

“Shayna is so awesome and so good with animals! She will take the best care of and love your pets like they were her own.”

“Sarah is a wonderfully caring and kind person who is super conscientious and responsible! I completely trust her with any of our pets because I know she will give them the very best care. She has a lot of experience with caring for pets and also a lot of work experience that proves how responsible and dependable she is. She worked with us at our cat cafe and was absolutely terrific at customer service, caring for the cats, cleaning up after them, advertising for us, and doing any task with very little direction. She was a lifesaver and huge support to our small business. The cats loved her too! She was a key holding manager and we would have her come back without hesitation. She has always been very easy to communicate with, and has such a great work ethic and so much positivity! Sarah is a remarkably trustworthy and hardworking person. I highly recommend her!”

About: I have been working in animal welfare for about 5 years. My background comes from the Animal Shelter world. While working for 2 local shelters as a Kennel Attendant than a Animal Care Specialist and now working at a pet hospital as a Client Service Representative. In this new roll, I've found myself missing the responsibility of caring for animals in need. Between long work hours, extended weekends, a new puppy or kitten, or a pet that just needs that extra time outside or quality time, that is where I'd come in! I'd like to offer the community daily in-house check in visits and or walking sessions for up to 2x daily in 46725 area or 1x daily in the surrounding areas! Tasks included in the check in visits consist of bathroom breaks, administering medications if needed, feeding/providing treats, fresh water given, quality time spend inside and outside (whether permitted), disposal of wastes. For 60 minute check in visits a short walk is included! During my time working at the animal shelters I had the opportunity to engage and learn about the essential care of kitten to senior stages of life in cats, as well as puppies to senior dogs, rabbits, guinea pigs, small reptiles and so much more you probably wouldn't think would show up at a shelter! I also became a foster for kittens and a puppy for a short period, which was a pleasure of doing. #fosteringsaveslives I was lucky enough to be able to learn so much about feline and canine behavior and how to incorporate that into my daily care of these pets and seeing how much of a difference it makes by understanding their body language. l am also familiar with the uses of pharmaceutics, as well as administrating orally and by injection. I am Fear Free Shelter Certified, as well as a Fear Free Certified Professional. Meaning, I make sure all my animal handling and movements are fear and stress free to the best of my knowledge. I hope to be able to take care for your furry family member soon! 🐾 Availability: Tuesday's, Saturday's, Sunday's I currently work full time, making my availability limited during the week. I would like to build enough daily clientele, that way I can make pet care a primarily part time focus. I'm currently not offering pet boarding/day care services in my home due to having the responsibility of 5 fur babies of my own. While caring for your pet in your home, I will treat your furry family member(s), your home, and your belongings with the upmost respect. By following any sort of restrictions, being mindful of your time, understanding the needs of each individual pet and knowing your needs as an owner and requirements/standards you expect from a pet sitter.

“I have known Liv since birth and the most distinctive trait about her is her love for animals! When Liv started to discover her passion for animals it sparked a fire. My mom would pick me up from her house and ask, “How was the zoo?” jokingly of course! Liv has had and still has pets ranging from hermit crabs, lizards, dogs, foster kitty litters, cats, and an aspire to get a hedgehog! Liv has a love for any animal whether it is a goose crossing the street or her own personal cats💗 She calls all animals her friends and cares for each with every inch of her heart. She is truly the only friend I would trust to babysit my animals and she will go above and beyond!”

“Abby is one of the kindest people you will ever have the privilege to meet. She is hard working, dedicated to whatever task she is given, and is always on time. Abby has watched our dog and her brother numerous times, as well as other dogs for other family members. She celebrated their birthday and even put them in party hats and made them feel special. Abby has stayed with the dogs overnight, fed them, walked them, played with them, etc. We have recommended Abby to all of our family and friends, who have then recommended her to their family and friends. We would recommend Abby to anyone with a pet!”

“Taylor is a great fit for your pets. She cares and loves for each of her pets. I highly recommend giving her a try. She won’t disappoint you at all!! 10/10”

“Sumer was amazing with my fur babies! She has such a calm, loving personality that even my nervous pittie was immediately comfortable with her. She sent tons of videos and pictures while I was gone so I knew they were in great hands and being loved on. She didn’t bat an eye at all my crazy Dog Mom requests and even did other things like water my garden! I’m looking forward to using her again!”

“I needed a last-minute dog walker, and I'm so glad Abbigail was available! She took my old boi for a nice long walk and sent me several pics of him enjoying himself :) I'd definitely book her again next time!!”

“Annie has a special love for animals! Not only is she loving and kind, she connects with my dogs (2 goldens and 1 toy poodle) and they respond so loving in return. They are instantly excited when they see her and/or hear her voice, makes my heart smile! I trust Annie with my dogs and home. It’s so wonderful to know they are cared for so well in their own home, keeping them in their familiar environment and routines.”
