Dog Walkers in Helmsburg, IN

About: Loving, Reliable Pet Care in Brown County About Me: I’ve shared my life with dogs for as long as I can remember — from beagles to bluetick hounds — and I’ve had the privilege of loving pups of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. Today, my family includes three amazing dogs: Wilma, our energetic Labrador; Daisy, our sassy Aussie/Border Collie mix; and Shiloh, our playful Husky/Aussie mix. They are truly part of our family, and I care for every client’s pet with the same love and respect. I understand how stressful it can be for pets when their owners are away. My goal is to keep them comfortable, loved, and engaged until you’re home again. Whether it’s dogs, cats, or other small animals, I provide companionship, playtime, walks, and a calm presence so they feel safe and happy in their environment.

About: I grew up on a farm, surrounded by animals. We had horses, goats, chickens, cows, and of course dogs and cats. We have 2 Australian Shepherds, and a bunch of cats. I also grew up around Chihuahuas. My sister has a senior diabetic Chihuahua, so I have experience with them as well. I have a lot of experience with all sorts of animals, so I can take care of barns as well. I am currently working part-time in the early mornings, so I have plenty of afternoon time to spend with pets. I also am a full time student, but all of my work is online. I am open to any days that are needed. I have a warm and friendly approach when it comes to animals. I always think it's important to remember that accidents happen. In the end, they're animals. I love giving them all the pets and cuddles I can possibly give. It's their first time living too!!

About: Hi! I’m Alana 😊 I provide reliable, attentive in-home care so your pet can stay comfortable in their own space while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I take that responsibility seriously. I started volunteering at a humane society in middle school and later gained hands-on experience shadowing veterinary technicians at IndyVet. This helped me learn how to read animal body language, handle different temperaments, and provide safe, attentive care. Growing up, my family had golden retrievers, pit bulls, cats, bunnies, and hamsters, so I’m comfortable with a wide range of pets and personalities. Those experiences taught me how to read animal body language and provide attentive, compassionate care. Whether your pet is high-energy, anxious, or just needs extra attention, I’m comfortable adjusting my care style to meet their needs. I now have a miniature dachshund of my own, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I’ll treat your furry friend with the same love, patience, and care that I give my own! I’m currently taking some time to enjoy being a recent graduate before starting a new full-time position on June 1st. I work part-time at an emergency shelter-care facility, but my schedule is very flexible, so I’m excited to have plenty of availability to care for pets throughout the week! At this time, I’m not able to host pets in my home. However, I’m more than happy to care for your pet in your home, where both your space and your pet will be treated with respect. I will always follow any guidelines or boundaries you set while making sure your pet receives plenty of care, attention, and love. I understand how important our furry friends are and how difficult it can be to be away from them. That’s why I like to learn as much as possible about each pet ahead of time. Knowing their routines, preferences, and personality helps me create a safe, comfortable, and loving environment while you’re away.

About: Hi there! I’m an avid animal lover with a gentle, patient approach to pet care. I share my home with a sweet kitty named Evie and my rescue beagle, Mylo: a lovable goofball who keeps me humble and well‑trained. I always look after every pet with the same attentiveness, patience, and high-quality care I give my own little crew. 🐾 󠁺 Before pursuing social work, I actually planned to become a veterinary technician, and that early passion for animals has stayed with me. I’ve volunteered at the Wabash animal shelter, spent years riding horses, and gained hands‑on experience with all kinds of personalities and needs. Mylo, who struggles with anxiety, has taught me a lot about de‑escalating reactivity and building trust through positive reinforcement. He also takes daily medication, so I’m very comfortable administering meds and following specific care routines. Mylo likes to think of it as his “evening treat with extra steps.” 󠁺 Over the past several years, I’ve pet‑sat for friends, family, and their extended circles. This has allowed me to care for pets of all ages and ranging needs. No matter the temperament, I adapt to each animal’s personality, mood, and boundaries. Striving to create a calm, reassuring environment where your pet feels understood is central to my approach as a caregiver. 󠁺 Please reach out if you have any questions! Your pet's comfort is my priority ❤️ My schedule is currently very open as I wrap up my internship, and I’m available for daily check‑ins, walks, and overnight stays! Please feel free to reach out with any questions, I’m always happy to connect. ❤️🐕‍🦺🎾 I love caring for pets where they feel safest, their home 🏡🐾. While I’m there, I carefully follow your pet’s routine and keep their space clean and comfortable, so you return to a happy, relaxed fur baby and a home that feels just as you left it (or better).

About: I am currently a proud parent to two cat, so I’m very well versed in their play styles and respecting their boundaries. However I spent my childhood with a loving dog who recently passed away. Navigating his senior years taught me that care isn’t just about walks or treats but about patience, sometimes administering medication, and recognizing subtle cues of a senior pet that may need a little extra comfort. Whether your pet is a high energy pet or senior pet who needs a gentle hand, I provide intuitive, dedicated, and delicate care that I’d want for my own. I’m currently a college student, but have lots of time to care for your pets! I’m available on Mondays and Wednesdays from 12:30 PM-4:00 PM or 5:30 PM-10:00 PM. Thursday- Sunday I’m available anytime after 7:00 PM. Whatever your pets need, I have it covered and their safety is always my number one priority. From double checking that every gate is latched and every lease is secured/correctly on to closely monitoring your pets for any sign of discomfort, ill treat your home and your pets with the highest level of care. Whether it’s following a strict medication schedule or navigating a high energy walk, I’m prepared for any situation!

About: I have taken care of animals my whole life. I have always had at least one cat, and had dogs for 17 years of my life. I have also taken care of family and friends’ pets while they are out of town plenty of times. I am available all day every day for any kind of pet needs, and I can house cats overnight, however, I am unable to house dogs overnight. I am within walking distance of a dog park, and can bring animals inside or outside, whichever their needs are. I can also keep and transfer pets inside crates as needed.
