Dog Walking Indian Village

“Emily was a really great dog walker for our dog, during a week we couldn't do it - she was reliable and flexible and our dog walked very happily with her every time. We'd 100% recommend her.”

About: As an active, playful person myself, I want to give your dog a space to get some wiggles out and enjoy the day, rain or shine. I’m an ELA teacher on summer break, and I’d love to spend time walking and caring for your dogs during the hours I’d normally be teaching. As a human being who values quiet as well as activity, my priority is making sure your dog feels at peace around me as we spend time together and find adventure on our walks. My dog loves to sit by me on the floor for a while after getting back from a good walk :) I also focus on making sure I maintain the rhythms and routines to which your pet is already accustomed, giving them a safe space even with someone new to their life.

About: Dogs are a part of my soul and will be well cared for. Including walks, playtime, food, water and a doggy door. I cannot wait to meet your pup. I am a stay at home dog Mom. I am always available unless I am running errands. I do 2 meals a day and walk in the afternoon. My pets rule the roost. I will take care of your pets as if they are my own. Also, if I am in your home I will be respectful as if it is my own.

“Mariah took great care of my dog, showed up on time and sent me clear information about how she was doing. Thank you, I appreciate it!”

About: I’ve been taking care of cats and dogs all throughout high school, specifically with families and working couples. I understand the importance pets have in the structure of any family, and it’s my pleasure to offer peace knowing your pet is being taken care of and loved while you’re away. I like meeting pets where they’re at, wether it’s running around a park with energetic Border Collies or lounging around with a chill cat. As a full time college student, I see my pets between classes, take care of them during my study breaks, and even bring them to my favorite study spots! I make sure that all their needs are met through any environment and situation. I never push them past what their owner has made clear they are comfortable with.

About: I have many years of experience with household animals, family/friends pets, and various types! I am fluid with service animals as well as with animals requiring special care needs! I am currently open to job opportunities and have a pretty flexible schedule for the foreseeable future. I currently have a 14 year old maltese boy Unless specified otherwise, feedings are routine and scheduled based. Any medicines that need to be administered are taken care of. I have a big backyard, unfenced but have space to let pets out and roam on a long leash.

“Above and beyond - always can trust she will take good care of my pup. Very consistent, even when I change the schedule last minute she’s proven to be very flexible and reliable.”

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life—there has literally never been a time growing up when I didn't have a pet at home! On top of my lifelong hands-on experience, I spent all four years of high school volunteering weekly at a local animal shelter, dedicating about 8 hours a week to caring for both cats and dogs. I’d love to bring that same high level of care, patience, and love to your furry family members! I'm currently on summer break from the University of Notre Dame, so I have plenty of time to spend with your pets! I work with the Boys and Girls Club as a Youth Development Professional seasonally. I value safety over anything and will keep a close eye on your pets as much as requested. I understand what can happen if an animal is left alone for too long, and will ensure that your animals are safe and protected.

“We are so happy to have found Michaela! Rainer is thrilled when she comes to visit. Michaela is punctual, careful, and considerate, and was willing to work with Rainer despite his reluctance to walk. She leaves detailed accounts of her visits and in general has a wonderful sense of what dogs need. Thank you, Michaela!”

“Kimberlee was great! She was responsive to my request. She was on time for both walks and sent pictures of Finn. I will definitely use her again in the future and highly recommend that you book her as well.”

About: My family always had a pet dog. As a kid I would feed and walk dogs in the neighborhood while they were out of town. As I grew older I would stay at family or friend's homes if they went out of town. I'm in search of a similar situation in South Bend - dog walking and light housework included! Weekdays I can stop in and let the dog(s) out for bathroom breaks. On weekends/evenings I can stay at your home so that the dog is familiar and will make myself available 100% during that time. I prefer to stay or drop in to my client's home. I find that the dog is more familiar/comfortable this way too. I am happy to do a test run so that everyone feels comfortable/familiar!

“Heather does outstanding with my two girls! My littlest baby lupita who has always been very fearful of strangers absolutely loves her. She usually takes a while to warm up to new people but met heather the first day and loved her. My oldest girl Nana is a big love bug so she of course had to be all over her the first day she met her. Heather made the process of trusting someone other than myself to love and care for my babies as I would a very easy and stressless process. She accommodated all the special needs of my girls, checked in frequently, and answered any questions I had. She was very flexible with her schedule when a change of walking time was needed. I have nothing but good things to say about heather and could not have picked a better person to trust my baby girls with.”

“Ciara was amazing with Oreo! She was kind, reliable, and took such great care of him. She kept me updated with photos and made sure Oreo had a great walk. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in such caring hands. Oreo absolutely loved his time with her! I highly recommend Ciara to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog walker. We’ll definitely be booking with her again. Thank you, Ciara”

“Lydia is a great dog walker and I highly recommend her!”

About: I have been a dog lover since I was a young child, and have been a Veterinary Assistant for 10 years now working with dogs and cats of all breeds and ages. I have been pet sitting for family and friends since I was a teenager, and have loved all the experiences. I have a true passion for helping all animals but have a soft spot for seniors! I currently work mornings as a Veterinary Assistant and the rest of my day is spent with my son at home. I have good flexibility during the early afternoon, and the evenings as well! Drop ins and walks would be perfect for my current schedule. I only watch animals at the clients’ home due to not having a fence and having a young son that doesn’t understand boundaries with animals quite yet. I would not want to cause stress to an animal being out of their comfort space!

“Day was responsive, friendly, and accommodated my last minute request. I highly recommend Day for any services you need! Your furry friend will be in good hands.”

“Margaret is fantastic—she has great expertise with both dogs and cats and is incredibly reliable and friendly! My dog, who is a little bit nervous generally and not small (Aussie/Husky) took to her immediately and they have gotten on beautifully! I also have two cats and Margaret gives them the same love she does her own sweet kitty. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve had dogs and cats all my life. I’ve potty trained them, taught them how to walk with a leash, taught them tricks like sit stay and say your prayers, and too many to say. I will spoil your fur babies like I do mine. You would never have any worries while you’re away they will be in good hands. I love and enjoy being around dogs and or cats. I’d send you videos and or pictures of your fur baby. Some owners have their fur babies on a schedule if so I will do the same. if there is a park nearby I’d probably take them there. But first I would ask the owner what they would like me to do sense it is their pet. I'm retired so I'm flexible. My routine is the fur babies routine. I'd like to keep it that way for them, so I would need to know. I have a fenced in yard, not big for big dogs tho. They will be fed, played with and cuddled. If they need to be caged I have a large one for their comfort.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my five years of experience caring for dogs of all ages and needs. I have worked with everything from energetic puppies, who require lots of playtime and consistency, to senior dogs who need patient, gentle care and a predictable routine. I am attentive, reliable, and committed to making sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I take the time to learn every pet's unique personality and tailor their care to meet their specific needs. I am currently a college student in South Bend, IN, and I am available to provide both dog sitting & house sitting services. I have experience caring for pets and maintaining a safe, clean home environment, and I am happy to accommodate your pet's routine, energy level, and specific needs. If you're traveling for the holidays or simply need an extra hand, I would love to help ensure your pets and home are well cared for. In your home, I care for your pets the same way I care for my own, by following their normal routine, giving them lots of love, and making sure they feel safe in their familiar space. I stick closely to your feeding, walking, and play schedules, and I am attentive to any special needs or instructions you share. I keep your home clean, respectful, and secure. I am happy to help with small tasks like watering plants or bringing in mail. I want both you and your pet to feel comfortable while you're apart.
