Dog Walking in Gary

“Bridget was amazing! Our dog Luna loved her. She was reliable and very sweet to our wild dog. She actually went out of her way to help us when she noticed an ant problem while we were out of town. We will definitely be booking her for our next trip!”

““Megan was fantastic! She was very polite, knowledgeable about dogs, and really listened to all my needs and concerns. We truly appreciated her punctuality—it made my surgery week a bit easier and less stressful.””

About: I have been around dogs and cats since I was a kid. Growing up I had an adorable pit bull that I would feed, walk, and bathe regularly. My family and friends also had cats that I would occasionally watch and feed as well. Recently I have excelled with sticking to strict dietary restrictions for a senior dog I sat to also helping leash train and walk my siblings 6 month old dog. I'm currently working part time and expect to attend college when the semester starts in late August. Luckily between my class schedule and work schedule I have more than enough flexibility to provide the service you and your pet need. I have personal dog walking experience and can provide a comfortable walking environment for your pet. I also have experience with rowdy dogs and can safely handle playtime.

“It took about 10 days to get Dakota comfortable with Layla to not be afraid. She's an older rescue and signs of abuse are apparent. Dakota is afraid of peopke. Layla was patient and calm and went a Dakota's pace. Now, They go for a walk on every visit! Layla is the best!”

“I have big dogs. They are trained, but I still tend to worry about their strength taking an outside person by surprise. Alex was GREAT with my Boerboels (aka South African mastiffs). I really look forward to her working with my dogs again!”

About: I have always been involved with pet care since I was a kid. I have twelve years on a farm, eight years at Chicago k9 Rescue, and six years with Spizziri Reptile Rescue. With my years of experience I have administered medications, changed bandages, fed premature pets around the clock, cut nails for cats and pups, bathed them when needed, etc. I also really enjoy building trust with the ones who struggle trusting. I also have knowledge with basic training for resource guarding, potty training, and recall. This fits perfectly with my schedule and allows me to have flexibility. I currently have an open schedule until my school semester starts up again in mid October. There is no one answer for this. I believe this changes depending on pet type, breed, age, health, etc. I will make sure I communicate effectively with each client. Make sure I keep detailed notes for each. I am extremely proactive, so I make sure I cover all my bases when it comes to safety and trust. I will do everything I would want to be done with my babies.

“Kayla was great with our two Golden’s the week our regular walker was on vacation. She walked them both and sent daily pictures and dog “duty” report cards. She would be great with your furbabies.”

“Ashley has been very patient and kind with my reactive dog! I was dealing with a knee injury that prevented me from walking him. She is the first stranger I’ve let try to work with him and he warmed up to her by the third day and even let her pick him up! She worked with him in learning all of his tricks as well! I highly recommend her to look after your fur babies!”

About: I have life long experience with multiple cats and small dogs. Although I am a big dog lover too, I have more experience with small pups. My experience with dogs has included training a puppy with potty training, twice daily dog walking with waste cleanup, appropriate feeding, regular vet visits, grooming, and lots of love and play! I have pet sitting experience through friends and family. When they are out on vacations, I am their go-to! I care for each pet as if they are my own. I have experience with an exotic animal; a Tortoise named Shelly, who I lived with for a year. I have sitted her outside of living with her and gave her scheduled shots for her condition. I am currently available all day on Sundays, Mondays, and Wednesdays. Tuesdays and Wednesdays I am available for drop in visits before 11 am. Saturdays I am available after 5:30 PM. Fridays are my days off. I always make sure to respect a pet’s boundaries. I give them some time to sniff me out, get a feeling about me, and match that energy. Some animals are very playful and affectionate, and I will return that! Other animals are a bit more shy, and I will let them come to me for any cuddles and affection. I never want to make an animal feel uncomfortable, especially in their own environment. I make sure animals are fed on time and have a full belly with plenty of hydration! I ensure litter boxes are cleaned daily. Walks for dogs are 1-2x daily with time outside playing after potty time if that is what they desire. Your pet will feel the love (and lots of pets and head scratches, as I am an expert in that) if they give me the cues that they are comfortable with that. ♥️

About: For as long as I can remember I have taken care of, rescued, and cared for animals. Through out my life I have over all had 18 animals in my house hold (at one point in time 8 cats all under the same roof) and I have often helped taken care of animals of family and friends. I have checked in on dogs for noon outside time and potty breaks as well as stayed at a home for as long as a month to take care of a cat. I have experience with pets in all stages of life and in handling animals with different temperaments. I have also given animals medications (from diabetic shots to thyroid pills to special prescription food) and I am very active in taking care of them. Currently I have one dog and three cats that I share with my partner, all of whom I have taken care of from early on in their lives. I am currently in between jobs so most days and times I am available. I do share a car but we always work together to figure out who can use the car when. Just let me know what you need and when and I will work with you to figure out a schedule that works for both of us. I am very respectful of other's homes, making sure things are clean and nothing is messed up. Whether your fur baby tore up a rug or I accidentally broke something, there will be full transparency on what happened while you're away. I can send daily text check ins and don't mind being called daily to ensure everything is alright, your animals are family and I will treat them as such. Any house rules or animal schedules you have set I will abide by. I will give your animal full attention and do what I can to give them what they need.

About: I currently work at a dog daycare, and spend all of my time caring about dogs and trying to make them happy. I really like to learn dog’s personalities and make my time spent with them, something that they’ll enjoy. I also have two dogs of my own, and spend a lot of time walking them. I’m willing to do anything to keep your pup safe. Dogs are such sweet babies, and deserve to feel happy and safe, so when you are away Im willing to be that for your pup. I will even work on training commands, if that’s something that’s already been being worked on at home. I can’t wait to meet your dogs and help you all stay happy!! Im currently working full time. I’m free all day a few days out of the week and during the early afternoon and after on days I work! Im willing to stop in any time that I’m free before or after work & days I have off. I have a lot of experience caring for animals in a safe manner for both the animals and myself. I’m very comfortable around dogs and cats, and can handle them in a safe manner for everyone!

About: I volunteered at animal shelters over 10 yrs. I have a degree in animal science. I have 1 dog and 1 cat 2 caged rabbits in a separate room and love animals! I can also give baths for animals as part of my service! I'm super friendly and work from home so I have plenty of flexibility to work with. I look forward to meeting plenty of breeds and learning more about animals as I go! My dog is very chill and nice and my cat is super friendly and ubothered by anything so depiste all of the animals my 2 bedroom apartment is mainly a quiet one. I would love to get more but I will start by taking care of yours! Thanks! I make my own work schedule so I can work around yours! I love going to dog parks and walking along with having a friend for my dog to play with! I watch all pets very closely when first entering my home to see if I need to separate my pats from yours! I also have plenty of toys and treats and I dog proof my home

About: I’ve been taking care of big and small dogs since I was 16. I’ve always made sure to make them as comfortable with me as possible. I have a very flexible schedule so I am always available to stop by or be at the house if needed. I always have time on my hands to take care of your fur baby. I have a gated yard that has lots of space for your fur babies to roam around free. I have a cage if needed at any time and I’m always attentive to the pets, especially around other pets.

“We are so thankful we found Lacey! She does a fantastic job with our crazy and energetic GSD. Our dog gets so excited to see her every time. She leaves detailed reports about our dog. She is very flexible. We highly recommend Lacey.”
