About: With over a decade of hands on animal care experience, I provide dependable walks and attentive home visits rooted in patience, consistency, and genuine care. My experience in animal shelters, professional grooming, and veterinary medicine has allowed me to work with pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, helping me understand their individual needs, adapt to different personalities, and remain calm in new or challenging situations. . Clear communication is one of my top priorities. After every walk or drop in, you’ll receive detailed updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. I pay attention to the little things, from changes in energy and appetite to shifts in mood or behavior, because those details often matter most. . Whether you need recurring walks, midday check ins, or dependable care while you’re away, I show up on time, respect your home, and help maintain the routines your pet knows and trusts. As the owner of a very smart senior poodle, I understand the trust it takes to place your pet in someone else’s care. My goal is to build that trust through consistency, attentiveness, and open communication, while providing the kind of care that gives both pets and their people peace of mind. I maintain a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs throughout the week. Whether you need recurring walks, drop-in visits, or last-minute care, I prioritize clear communication and dependable service. My goal is to keep your pet on as consistent a schedule as possible. I follow feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication instructions, and any household guidelines you provide. Every pet is unique, and I’m happy to accommodate the little details that help them feel comfortable and at home. Whether that’s a favorite walking route, a special bedtime routine, or even a specific way they like their meals prepared, I’m happy to help.

About: I have owned a dog my entire life. I have lived with four, including our old foster dog. I am a kitten foster with Humane Indiana since 2020. Since then, I have fostered over 30 kittens. I am used to the hard work that comes with taking care of animals, and more than happy to do so. I am currently a full time college student so will have time to take care of your pet before, after, and in between my classes. My weekends are pretty free. I have a fenced in backyard along with one dog (king charles spaniel). He is very friendly but can stay separate if need be. I have four cats that are used to other animals with my fostering experience. They will stay away from dogs or can be in the basement.

About: I have experience caring for a variety of pets with different needs and routines. I have taken care of a 1-year-old cat along with 3 other adult cats, including a cat who required at least 30 minutes of playtime and interaction every day. I have also cared for a large dog who ate home-cooked soup mixed with his food at specific feeding times, as well as a husky who stayed in an air-conditioned dog house unit and required daily vitamins and attentive care. I am good at following direction for the desired care you and your pet need. I work remotely and any activities I plan I would plan around a schedule if at all with the pet in mind. I will plan in advance for the openings I have in my schedule to permit me to be with the pet. I typically stay in the pets home to create a less stressful environment for the pet and go about its daily routine as instructed by the pet owner. I will stay as long as required by the pet owner or stay in a guest bedroom all day depending on what makes the pet owner most comfortable with.

About: My experience has been mostly my family and friends. I have taken their animals on walks, bathed them, fed them, played with them. Took them to parks and even trained them on new skills. Since I just graduated I have very open availability and ready to help. I am very organized and dependable, I value time management, my career/education, and most importantly taking care of people and animals. I am currently waiting for the new school year to roll around and continue my education so my schedule is free. I wake up early to work out but that time can be flexible depending on if I have a pet to watch. I keep the animals on the schedule they are used to. Feed them, fill water, walks, clean behind them, playtime, medicine if they need. Also litter box maintenance for cats. Also making sure we’re safe in the house and my phone near me to contact the owners if needed.

Gianna, went above and beyond for our sweet dog, Sienna. She took her for nice log walks, played with her, and loved on her while we were away. I will definitely be using Gianna again. Sienna was well loved by Gianna in our absence and we can’t thank Gianna enough!

About: I have owned dogs since I was a child and have two happy pups of my own who I love more than anything! I treat every dog like they’re part of my crew—lots of love, playtime, and attention to their little quirks. I keep things fun, will send plenty of updates, and make sure your pet feels safe and content! I’m a teacher, so from June through mid-August I’m home full-time. During the school year (mid-august through May) my availability becomes more limited to weekends and holiday breaks. Drop-In Visits: During drop-in visits, I'll make sure your pet is happy, comfortable, and well cared for at home. Visits include feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of attention and affection. I’ll follow your pet’s routine and provide updates so you can feel confident they’re in good hands. Dog Walking: Whether your dog needs a quick potty break or a longer walk to burn off energy, I provide safe, reliable walks! I’ll ensure they get exercise and enrichment while keeping you updated along the way!

About: I’ve had 2 dogs in my family since I was in middle school. I was very hands on in potty training when they were puppies. I’ve also gone to a lot of dog training classes in the past that taught me how to form healthy relationships with dogs. I am very flexible since I work from remotely Monday through Friday. I also have open availability on the weekends. Having a job that supports me working wherever allows me to provide more time to sit. Having a conversation with each owner really gives me insight into the dogs routine. I always ask what time their meals are as well as their walking schedule. I also like to ask home owners where all the dog’s items are located. I like to provide the dogs with a lot of affection and playtime.
