Dog Walkers in Garrett, IN

About: I’m CPR certified for dogs of all sizes as well as cats, and my certification is valid through 2027. My journey with pet care began when I was thirteen where I would pet sit for family friends and acquaintances. I’ve been passionate about looking after animals ever since. Growing up with both a dog and a cat who were part of my life for nearly a decade deeply influenced my love for animals and inspired me to help care for others' pets while they’re away. My top priority is making sure every pet feels just as loved and comfortable as they do with their family. Whether it’s playing fetch, tug-of-war, going for walks, or just giving them company and cuddles, I’m here to ensure they are comfortable and having fun! I have experience administering oral medications and caring for minor injuries, such as bandaging hotspots. While I don’t currently have experience with injections, I’m always eager to learn and expand my skills. I am a Sophomore at PFW, majoring in Criminal Justice. During the summer, I will be working M-Th 8-5, so I am not available during those hours during the summer. Come fall, I will have classes on Tuesdays & Thursdays from about 12 pm-4 pm, and I have not yet secured a job for that time, so day availability is TBD. Please ask any questions regarding my availability and I would be happy to explain further! I’ll treat your pet(s) with the same love and care I’d want someone to give my own. My pets are super affectionate (and a little needy), so I’m more than ready to give your pup as much attention, cuddles, treats, and playtime as they’d like/need. For cat parents: I have a super playful, energetic kitty of my own, and I’d be more than happy to bring that same energy and attention to your cat(s), whether they’re ready to chase toys, eat some treats, or just need a little patience.

“Above and beyond every single visit.”

About: I request owners make sure their pets have been treated for fleas the month of their booking. This prevents your pet from bringing them here but also protects them from the possibility of picking them up outside during their stay and bringing them home. I regularly keep my home and pets treated as well, but every family doing their part keeps their pets, other client pets and my pets and home safe. Thank you! ❤️ Proper care of animals is my passion, priority and lifestyle. I offer boarding, daycare, drop-in visits, dog walking & basic grooming in Auburn, Indiana and nearby surrounding areas. I take pride in giving pets a cozy and safe environment, ensuring a stress-free time for both the pets and their owners. I am a full time pet sitter, so I have plenty of time to spend with your pet! I do occasionally need leave my home for an hour or so, for drop-in visits or occasional other errands. When not supervised I can crate your pup/kitty or put them in a separate room. I do request owners provide a crate in case its needed. On a regular day to day basis, I usually let dogs wander the house freely with supervision. They are crated at night and if they cannot be supervised. Dogs get plenty of time outside to run, play and potty daily! I am available weekdays, weekends & most holidays! I keep my calendar updated so please check it out! I am lifelong pet owner and animal lover. I've always surrounded myself with many animals, taking in strays or ones who need rehomed. I have two friendly dogs, many cats, two horses and pet rats of my own. I have experience caring for many different animals ranging from hamsters to horses! There aint no pup too big or small; too young or old, I am honored to care for them all. I am happy to clean litterboxes, pick up your pups droppings in your yard and clean other animal enclosures. I offer basic grooming such as baths, brushing & nail trimming which can be added on to drop-in, boarding or daycare bookings for a $10 fee. I can pick up and drop off dogs for daycare or boarding for a $20 fee. I have experience giving oral medication, applying ointments and treatments and caring for pets recovering from surgery. I am always eager to expand my knowledge with animals when an opportunity arises! My husband and I live in a clean house outside town with a large 1 acre yard, for plenty of run and play! We're on a quiet country road, 7 minutes from the nearest vet. I do have a fenced in play area outside for the dogs and can also walk by leash. Client dogs will be brought to the fenced in area by leash to ensure safety. If you have any other questions or concerns please reach out to me, I'd be happy to speak with you! I look forward to hearing from you and building a long term relationship with you and your furry friend! I am pet sitting full time, so I can provide your pet with plenty of attention, play time and the love & care you expect. I have a large yard on a quiet country road and 2 dogs and plenty of cats to keep your pet company, along with my watchful eye of course. I can easily crate your pet when needed so long as a crate or carrier is provided. Animals will always be introduced slowly, with barrier (fence or baby gate) to ensure safe introductions. Dogs are never fed near eachother. I care deeply for animals and will intentionally make sure your pet is as safe and happy as physically possible! I live 7 minutes away from the nearest vet. Pets will be separated from others during meal times.

“Deanna has skills. When our reactive rescue got out of the car, Deanna kept her hands relaxed and at her sides. She continued to talk with us and did not look at our girl. This is exactly how to meet an anxious dog! And our Portia responded by walking right up to Deanna and sniffing her. Portia walked with Rick this walkie. But Portia did walk between Deanna and him. She would normally be as far from anyone not us, as she could get! Most excellent! Our Mr. Baloo has never met a stranger and he was happy to make her acquaintance! We have already rebooked! Thanks Deanna!”

About: I have been surrounded by and caring for animals since I was young. My mom could never turn away a stray or any animal in need, and because of her, a deep love for animals was planted in my own heart. I have years experience socializing and walking dogs within my volunteer work at animal shelters. In addition, I have two years of experience working within veterinary clinics as a veterinary assistant. I grew up with Siberian Huskies, so I am used to and comfortable with high energy and large breeds :) I recently graduated from college, and I am working part-time on the weekends before I apply to veterinary school. Right now, I am available weekdays and weeknights. As my schedule changes, I will update, but I am very flexible :) I am very cautious when it comes to animals and their care. I make sure to intently listen and learn the needs of each animal in order to maintain their routine while also providing enrichment in their environment. I also am a very strong communicator, and will make sure to clearly communicate with owners.
