“Valerie has been checking in on our pup for the last several weeks and taking him for walks and we couldn’t recommend her more! She is very easy to communicate with and is great at keeping us updated about how he is doing! We will definitely continue asking her to take our doggo on walks!”

About: I've taken care of all sorts of animals (including farm) since I was old enough to drive. I was also a vet tech for years!!! I recently quit my job as a preschool teacher, but don't want to be bored. I have all day to fill with your animal cuddles. I have a fenced in yard and a big fur baby of my own to keep your baby company and entertained. The more the merrier.
About: Pets have always been center stage in my life. Currently I share my home with three cats and a granddog who likes to visit and go for walks with me. My love and appreciation for animals has sparked my desire to be a pet sitter. I began my pet sitting journey by caring for pets belonging to friends, neighbors, and family. I gained experience providing for pets needing oral medication, accommodating frightened and lonely animals, and behaving in a manner which gained the trust of my new furry friends. I am a retired teacher and have a flexible schedule. I can accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening schedules. I am also available for overnight stays for both pet and house sitting. I am able to meet all expectations while caring for your pet at home. I have a large country property to provide stimulating outdoor time for overnight furry guests. I will take all precautions needed to provide a safe and comfortable environment for your furry companions,
About: I grew up with labs and when I was in high school, my mom adopted cats. I adopted my own cats in January and November of 2023. Through my time on Rover and Wag!, I have experience with all sorts of dogs! My gallery consists of all of the animals I have cared for as well as my own pets:) I just started my master’s program at the University of Indianapolis and am in classes for roughly 12 hours/week between TWR. I am out of class no later than 4 pm. As of January 2026, I will be working MWF from 3-6 pm in Westfield. I know I have a busy schedule and I understand if this doesn’t work for your pet’s needs, but know that I will give your pet/s all of my love and attention and the best care possible when I am with them:) I do my best to go off of their needs and their schedule! If a pup needs a little bit to get comfortable with me, I let them take their time before I approach them or before we do anything. First and foremost, I want everyone to feel comfortable.
About: I grew up with my own pets. I worked for a family member in high school, helping her in her grooming and kennel facility. Before I moved to the Indy area I worked at a dog daycare facility. I worked with dogs individually and in group settings. I did some behavioral training with these dogs and my own! I can evaluate dog emotions and behaviors and work with owners on any concerns that they may have I currently work full time and I’m off Sundays and Wednesdays. I’m available most days after 2 pm and no later than 6:30 pm. Not available Sundays during the day due to church. My saying is that mental stimulation is better than physical. At my home I always leave soothing music on for my dogs and leave them a toy or treat to play with. It helps reduce anxiety and lets them have their calm time.
About: As a child, I had several pet dogs. As an adult, I had two great dogs for the family. Now recently retired, I occasionally sit and dog-walk two grand dogs. As a retiree, my schedule is quite flexible. I am available any day of the week. I can walk or check in on your pet at any time during the day. I'll be consistent with your pet and alter my interaction depending on your and your pet's style. If I'm at your home, I'll treat it with great respect and leave everything as it was when I arrived.
“Shannon is amazing. Super flexible and easy going, always willing to accommodate me and takes fantastic care of my dogs. I’m so grateful to have her taking care of my dogs”
About: I have grown up with dogs in my home of all sizes. I have also been taking care of neighbors, and friends pets since I was 12 providing in-house pet sitting, walks, feed, medication and more! I am currently a college student at Ball State and am available around the Muncie/Yorktown area while I am attending school. Each day varies but Monday-Thursday I only have 2 classes so I have plenty of time to watch, play, and love on your pups. Also Friday-Suday I don't have class so my schedule is open most weekends. If watching your dogs from your home I will stop in for awhile and love on your pups multiple times a day and whenever specified!
About: I have had dogs my whole life and even helped to train some. I used to work at a shelter with all types and breeds, and have worked with puppies to seniors, low-energy to high-energy. I also briefly worked at a vet clinic as a kennel technician. I am happy to adapt to the dogs comfort and energy levels. I have learned to deal with stubborn dogs, and dogs with socialization issues. I love to play tug-of-war or fetch or simply run around with a dog, but will be sure that they stay hydrated. I am quick to pick up on a dog's specific social cues, such as when they need to go out, when they're scared or mad, or when they want to stop for a rest. I am currently working part time with variable hours. I have a semi-regular schedule but I can request changes for work as long as it is three weeks out. I can take your dogs on leashed walks, but we will never socialize with other dogs unless you name a specific friend of theirs. That is just for safety issues. I am also happy to let them run around your yard and play with their favorite toy or even hide some treats and do scent work!
“I can't recommend Danielle high enough! She walks my dog zoey (who can be a handful) and does a fantastic job. My dog is loud whenever anyone drives up but man, when she sees its Danielle she squeals and screams (part husky lol).”

About: Over 7 years experience caring for all different kinds of animals in all capacities! I know how to administer medication, orally or injection, and wouldn’t mind doing so. I received my trainers certification from Catch Trainers Academy in 2024 and am well versed in dogs language and behavior. I’m also pet CPR/first aid certified through the Red Cross. I’m a full time pet sitter & dog trainer so I’m able to have an extremely accommodating schedule because of this. This allows me to be there for pet parents when needed! **House sitting is for the hours of 5pm-8am - price reflects 6 hours of care | please reach out if you have different needs** I believe in patiently caring for every animal, as every animal is different and special in their own way. Your animal will be loved on and given plenty of cuddles and treats. I’m willing to walk them wherever is convenient. If your dog just wants to chill (it’s like that sometimes) we can hang out. I can properly and gently re-crate any dogs and, if needed, put up any cats.
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and love each and every kind. I currently own two cats and they are my fur babies! My sister has dogs and I love walking them, so I decided to start lending a hand to walk, pet sit, and more to others and their pets! I am capable of taking care of any kind of animal, but have most experience in dogs and cats. I’m currently working part-time as an Ultrasound Technologist and wanted to make some extra money by dog walking or drop ins! I work 3 days a week so this gives me plenty of availability. If I’m pet sitting, I will gladly accommodate your pet’s wants and needs. I can guarantee your dog(s) will get plenty of steps in as I love to walk and enjoy the outside! I will also happily send pictures to update you on our visits!
About: Hello! I am an elementary school teacher and someone who loves animals! I am located in Decatur Township. I would love to give your pets some extra attention while you are away for a few hours or a few days and will treat and care for them as my own. I have two cats and two dogs of my own that have all been rescues from the animal shelter. I have also been a foster volunteer for Southside Animal Shelter. I am happy to take your pets for a walk, play with them in the yard, and give them fresh food and water. If your pets have other needs, I'd be happy to help in any way I can! I am on summer break, so I have plenty of time and attention to give to your pets. My schedule is very flexible and I am available most days. I will work with the pet owner on a schedule and activities. I am happy to play with their pets, take them on walks, or just give them quiet affection.
