Dog Walking Gaston

About: My family has always owned a dog. Ever since I was young, my family and friends have relied on me to care for their animals, whether it be a walk, or an overnight sit. I’m a current Ball State Social Work grad student and love paying visits to the local Animal Shelter in my free time! I am a part time grad student at Ball State University, and also work part time at a daycare. I still have a lot of free time I’d like to fill throughout the week doing something I love, like taking care of animals. I am very attentive when it comes to caring for other peoples babies. Safety for myself and the pet is my number one priority. I do have a fenced in big back yard, and I also live right next to campus!

“Amanda took excellent care of my dog, very dependable. She’s the best!”

“Rachel is an amazing dog walker! She always takes great care of the boys and makes sure they have everything they need. She’s thoughtful about checking in with me when needed, very understanding, and incredibly helpful. I always feel confident knowing they’re in such good hands. I would absolutely recommend Rachel to any family or friends looking for someone reliable and caring.”

About: I've been taking care of animals since I was 5 when I got my first dog, and I've been caring for animals ever since! I've cared for many different species, such as dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, cows, fish, and a couple of reptiles! I'm always looking for new animal friends and would love to meet yours! I'm currently a full time college student, and have two classes a day. I will be available for pet care at all hours other than 10-11am, and 12-1pm during my classes. I have a nice big hallway for your pet if a kennel is needed, and I have great access to a nice, safe walking path, plus a big yard for pets to play. I am very adaptable and can make anything work!

“Isabella did great walking our two goldens.”

About: I've taken care of pets for as long as I can remember. Family and friends have relied on me to care for their furry friends for over 10 years. I even take care of cats and dogs professionally as a kennel assistant at an animal hospital! I'm a college student who works short hours part-time (at an animal hospital!), so I can always check in with your pet(s) between classes and before and after work! I can leash walk multiple dogs if needed, crate cats and dogs, and of course play with them for as long as they will have me!

“Absolutely the best walker! She was caring and always focused on Sasha. She was prompt and even took extra care to make sure all her needs were met!”

About: I've had pets my entire life- my family wouldn't be complete without my fur babies! Growing up we've had labs, a very large hound mix, and a golden retriever. I got my own dog, a black lab mix, when I graduated college and had her for 14 years until she passed 1.5 years ago. I adopted a stray American bulldog when my lab was around 3, and had her for about 8 years, until she passed. Don't currently have any pups, but I love them to death. I'm able to feed, water, brush, walk, play with, and even bathe them if needed! Hoping to add more puppy kisses to my life! I'm currently between jobs and looking to do something I enjoy on the side, so taking care of your cute critters is ideal! My daughter is at school all day and I have my own vehicle, so I'm happy to drop by your place and help out while you're away. I'm more than willing to accommodate any needs you may have when it comes to your pets. Please let me know how I can make you more at ease! Whether it's a certain thing you need me to do, sharing your cat or dog's likes or dislikes, or just wanting a check-in with a quick photo of Fluffy, I'll do whatever I can to make sure everyone is happy and healthy!

About: I have been obsessed with pets since I was a little girl. Thanks to me, at one point my family had 6 dogs at one time, a cat, 2 bunnies, and 2 birds. I showed dogs as a young girl and did horseback riding. I have experience with breeds of all sizes and temperaments. I am a Registered Nurse, I work full-time, but I work from home a lot and have a lot of flexibility with my schedule! I have multiple times during the day that I am free to help out for anyone who needs their pets to be be checked on or let out for potty breaks! I can care for your pets however you would like me to. I know we all have routines and preferences for our fur babies! I’d like to make them feel as comfortable as possible!

About: My wife and I have had pets for many years. We greatly love animals and would love to take care of yours. We rescued a lab golden retriever mix dog several years ago and had him until he died of old age natural causes. We would love to show your pets the same comfort and care that we was able to give to Gus. Thanks for considering us as your pets care provider. I work full time during the day, but my wife works full time from home and can provide care during the day while I’m gone. We are available to take your dogs for regular walks and give them a lot of personal attention and love while they are in our care We are available full time between me and my wife. Katherine works from home. We would love to have the opportunity to care for your pets. We have a fenced in back yard for them to run and play We also will walk them regularly and show them much attention. By the end of the day they will be ready for bed.

About: During my visit you can expect me to follow any instructions that you may have for your pet. When I get to your house I always make sure we go out for a potty break first and then a little play time if they want! I can also update you via text-message with Video or Pictures. I know how important it is to want updates on your fur babies! I am a graduate of Harrison College to become a Veterinary Nurse. I also have passed my national exam to become a Registered Veterinary Technician. I love working with dogs and get so much joy out of caring for other dogs/pets. I am reliable, trustworthy, and most importantly I am your dog's next sitter/walker! -Lauren W.

About: Have had many dogs and cats in a city environment and many in a country environment. Been taking care of them since I could remember! Pretty flexible and open, I work from home. I live with my girlfriend who is also on rover. Just reach out and we can talk about it! I recently moved into a great neighborhood! There are plenty of dog owners in my area so you don’t have to worry about anything, we’re a big community!

About: I have grown up with pets my entire life! I love meeting new furry friends. I have experience with taking care of senior dogs (I had a pug who lived to be 13!). I also have experience with puppies and younger pets. I have no other job at this time, so your lil critters will be one of my main priorities! I have a pretty flexible schedule. I am good at adapting to a pet’s needs. High energy animals are not a problem for me—I have experience with calming them. Making sure your pet trusts me will be one of my main priorities.

About: I volunteer and foster regularly with Homer's Helpers. I have experience with special needs animals ranging from diabetes, epilepsy, fear aggression, and severe separation anxiety.Any pets that stay in our home must be good with other dogs and cats as we have several in our home. I have a passion for animals of all shapes and sizes and have experience with small animals, reptiles, birds (large and small), and horses in addition to dogs and cats. I have had dogs since I was born. I have fostered many different breeds, from mutts, to pit bulls, to Great Pyrenees. Our dogs are Copper (Pom mix 12.5 lbs), Dexter (Golden Retriever 50lbs), and Versace (Pom mix 4.2lbs). All dogs that come to our home must be 30lbs or under as we don't want to risk our littles getting injured when they play. Our front yard is 1500sqft fully fenced and I have secured chicken wire to the bottom to ensure small dogs can't squeeze through. Our backyard is 500sqft fully privacy fenced, so we are able to accommodate dogs that could jump a 3ft. Our homes exterior is completely covered in security cameras so I can monitor the dogs at all times even if they are not in my immediate line of site. I am certified in dog and cat CPR/first aid through PetTech. I recently began a dog grooming apprenticeship. I am very comfortable giving medication, be it pills or injections I know how to do it. Any dogs that board in our home will be given a complementary "Night Night Cookie" as we call it. A buddy biscuit before bed. They are a healthy treat with no corn, wheat, or soy and come in many different flavors for dogs with different allergies. Dogs who board will be kenneled at night, we have crates available for use that are sanitized after each dog. We also feed meals in crates to avoid food aggression. I also offer Boss Dog frozen yogurt for $3 a serving and organic bone broth as a treat or food topper for $2. I can provide a lickimat or Kong filled with organic peanut butter for $2. I am able to provide Blackwood kibble for $2 a day if you forget to pack their regular kibble. We do also have a freezer that we can store raw food if needed. All dogs who board/play in our home must be up to date on vaccines or have a recent tider test. All dogs must be on current HW and flea prevention to be able to come to our home. We also have a dog treadmill that we can have dog boarding with us use to ensure adequate excercise during their stay. All dogs who board/play in our home must be up to date on vaccines or have a recent tider test, this is the policy of the rescue I work with in order to maintain my foster status. I have security cameras on the exterior of my home with all of both yards visible. I am planning on adding cameras in every room in the house. Dogs are crated to eat their meals to prevent food aggression. Toys are not made available until I have monitored how all the dogs in the home interact together on multiple occasions to ensure there is no resource guarding. All cabinets and closets are child locked so no dog is able to open them and get into anything they shouldn't. All dogs who board/play in our home must be up to date on vaccines or have a recent tider test. All dogs must be on current HW and flea prevention to be able to come to our home.

About: I have gained the reputation in my neighborhood to be the one to call for any pet needs. I’ve taken care dogs, cats, even chickens and I love every second of it. I am currently a college student and I am taking classes over the summer. I am basically free all the time and I am able to schedule my week around pet care. I have pets at home so I will not be able to bring animals into it. I will care for animals at the clients home, allowing the animal to be comfortable in its own environment.

“Synthia is the best! She is so careful, kind, and consistent! With the long hours me and my boyfriend work she provides a great walk to our two pitty babies!”

I currently work three 12 hour shifts a week at the hospital, but I am looking to fill my days off with some doggy care! I will care for your dog at your home in the best way that I possibly can! I have a small dog of my own, I treat him as if he’s my child and I will do the same for any and every dog I take care of:)

“Amazing! My dogs are big lovies and reactive and Olivia did great with both of them on their walk 🥰”

“Carol was AMAZING with my dog! extremely responsive, easy to work with and went above and beyond to accommodate my situation with a newly adopted pitbull. She eased my mind and would trust her to watch him in the future. I highly would recommend Carol without hesitation! I came home to a very happy pup and that’s all the reassurance I needed.”
