If you are looking for someone to watch/walk your dog that you can trust 100%, reach out to them.â

About: Through and through Hoosier here. I am originally from Decatur, IN but relocated to the beautiful '07 of Fort Wayne! I went to college at IUFW for Medical Imaging and completed my Bachelor's degree. I am pursuing this opportunity to explore and familiarize myself more with the community - as well as all the amazing pups! I grew up with 3 dogs and a cat, so I am well versed in the fur baby community! I currently have a full time job Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday so I am looking to pick up some pet care work on Tuesdays and the weekends! I have a fenced in back yard as well and a large basement suited for caring for animals in an overnight manner. I do have a cat that lives in the house who will be on the second story.

About: I think what sets me apart from other individuals is my patience and love to pets. Iâm a genuine guy with plenty of time in my schedule to take great and attentive care of any beloved animal. Iâm free as a bird. Iâm always looking to help others. Right now, that includes relieving animal owners of the anxiety of not having a great care taker. Iâm down for a walk snow or rain. Iâm also brilliant with keeping routine. I get along great with all animals. Building trust with a loved pet can be such a reward. Itâs truly soul bonding. While Iâm not in the position to currently house my own cat or dog doesnât mean Iâm not passionate about taking care of other furry friends.
About: I have been taking care of pets, mainly dogs and cats for as long as I can remember! I grew up with dogs and would take care of my neighbors animals when they went on vacation. I would also take my neighbors dogs on walks and do drop in visits if they got stuck at work or had other obligations. I work from home remotely so you can have the peace of mind that your pet wont be left unsupervised for long periods of time. The way I care for pets in the clients home is ensure I arrive on time to guarantee your pet gets the exact amount of care and attention scheduled. Every drop in I follow a strict checklist to ensure comprehensive care. My rough checklist for Drop Ins/Walks: -Immediate outdoor break with exercise -Feeding and fresh water and if needed, administer medications. -Clean up litter boxes if taking care of cats and cleaning up any possible accidents -Affection and more playtime and mental stimulation for higher energy dogs/cats. -Any other requests just ask & I will fit those into my checklist Once I leave your home I triple check to make sure your pet is secure, all windows, and doors are locked. I treat your home as its mine when I'm leaving so you never have to worry about your home being secured.
About: I have worked at many grooming and boarding places and am enrolled to become a vet tech. I know how to feed, provide medication, clean up, walk, and bathe animals.

About: Animals have always had a special place in my heart. Growing up on a farm, I was surrounded by creatures big and smallâeverything from conures to bison. From an early age, I learned not just how to care for animals, but how to truly respect them. That foundation deepened over the years into a lifelong appreciation for the bond we share with our animal companions. Adopting my dog Uschi was life-changingâshe taught me about unconditional love, loyal companionship, and even nudged me toward a healthier lifestyle. That experience reinforced my commitment to providing pets with the same love and care I give my own. I understand how important it is to feel confident when leaving your pet in someone elseâs care. Thatâs why I prioritize consistency, comfort, and safety. Iâll follow your petâs routine closely, respect any dietary needs, and make sure they feel calm and cared for every step of the way. I canât wait to run, play, and give your sweet baby the love they deserve! I currently work remote at my own pace, so I have full availability any time of day, morning or over night. Complete flexibility to your schedule. My overnight stays are flexible and can be tailored to your petâs specific needs. Iâm happy to take care of small home tasks like bringing in the mail or taking out the trashâjust let me know what you'd like. We can also go over feeding schedules, walk routines, and note any areas that are off-limits to ensure everything runs smoothly. I understand that separation anxiety is common, and I approach each visit with patience, empathy, and a calming presence. Your petâs comfort and emotional well-being are my top priority, and Iâll make sure they feel safe, seen, and cared for in your absence. Iâm also very mindful of pet nutritionâno treats or dietary changes will be made without your clear consent. Iâm available for a wide range of time frames and am happy to adapt to your petâs rhythm and routine, providing consistency, comfort, and a little extra love while you're away.
