Dog Walkers in Kirby, IN

About: My name is Wren (legal name Anna, which appears on this profile), and I have experience caring for young dogs and senior dogs in an overnight petsitting/ housesitting capacity. I also have experience doing daily check-ins and providing enrichment or exercise for dogs whose owners are busy with work or other tasks. I have experience giving medication (in pill form) and also with walking and interacting with anxious dogs. My former dog was dog reactive when on leash and I have a lot of patience in walking other dogs with similar demeanors. From a young age, I have been fascinated by the natural world and would spend hours researching animals and learning all I could about them. I truly believe humans don't exist at the top of some hierarchy, but that all creatures are valuable and deserve the time, patience, and compassion to be understood. I think pets are perhaps the best companions we could ask for. I know how important my animals are to me, and I want to provide the same compassion and care for others. I have a flexible schedule and am not currently employed, so I have time for you and your pets. I help care for my parents' senior dog when needed and I take care of my own two cats. I will come to you and your pet and walk them from your house. I can also give medication or do playtime at your house. Former clients have trusted me with keys or codes to access the home, but I always do whatever is most comfortable for the client and have been told that I am a responsible person with regard to this matter.

About: I’ve grown up having dogs of all different sizes and breeds. I have a passion for animals of all kinds. Friends and family tend to call on me and my daughter for help when it comes to needing a pet sitter. I am surrounded by animals in my daily life. I have 1 large dog and 2 outdoor kitties. They get plenty of love, playtime plus food and water of course. On top of that I work at a local groomer as a dog bather and volunteer at a wildlife rehab when I have free time. I care for my pets and yours with all the love and attention they need. I would love to meet your furry friends and help wherever needed.

“Thank you, Nichole, for caring for my sweetie girl for nearly 3 years!! You are the best!! When I met you years ago, I could tell right away you were a caring dog mom, but I had no clue at the time that you'd be so instrumental in the care of my girl for many years. THANK YOU! She absolutely adores you, and it gives my heart relief knowing she's so loved while I am away at work!”

“They did two 30 minute walks with Goose and sent us pictures each time. Goose loved them and everything went great. Good communication and I didn’t have any worries. Couldn’t ask for anything more, thank you!”

About: I've had a dog for as long as I can remember. I've watched over dogs for neighbors, friends, and family. I have had all sorts of pets from cats to dogs to birds. All have been lovely companions and precious members of my family. Each one has held a special place in my heart! ☺️ As a student living away from home, I deeply miss the daily joy of caring for dogs. Back home, I looked after an Australian Shepherd and a terrier mix, so I am very comfortable managing high-energy breeds and keeping them happily exercised. I also raised a sweet coonhound/basset hound mix, giving me a soft spot for gentle hounds. I am excited to bring that same love, patience, and dedicated care to your fluffy family members! My priorities for pets are Hygiene, Routines, and Care. Making sure pets are clean and comfortable, well fed, and well rested is most important! Ultimately, you know your furbaby best, so I am always completely open and attentive to any specific instructions or routines you request!

“Katherine was amazing with Apollo! I needed two last minute walks and she was able to accommodate. She sent lots of photos and details. Apollo loved her!”

“Savannah was great this week with my little dog, Chloe. She was prompt and communicative. Chloe normally takes some time to warm up to new people but made fast friends with her.”

My schedule fluctuates throughout the year depending on how many hours I am working and what my classes look like.

About: I have been around and loved dogs for my entire life. One of our family dogs had two litters while I was in high school and I helped take care of and raise the puppies. I also frequently pet-sat for neighbors and friends. Last year my wife and I adopted a puppy from Puerto Rico who we adore. I look forward to giving your pets the care and love they deserve! I do freelance work as a musician and dancer, so I have a fairly unpredictable schedule. Currently I am available on weekdays from 8 AM to 10 PM but I can be available on some weekends. I am happy to play with your dogs in their home or yard, to work on training as needed (our dog has been in training courses for around six months), or to do whatever else your dog will enjoy! I also enjoy walks and am happy to take your dog around the neighborhood or to nearby parks.

About: I’ve loved caring for pets since childhood and have been sitting professionally for the past several years. I offer house visits and dog walking, with experience caring for dogs, cats, reptiles, and other small animals. I am trained in Pet Care First Aid and have experience administering medications and giving injections. Previously, I worked with PAWSome Pet Sitting and now provide independent care in town. I can’t wait to meet your pets! I am available throughout the week and on weekends, offering flexible scheduling to provide your pets with consistent, reliable care whenever you need extra support. I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and respect in every home, ensuring that pets are cared for in a secure, comfortable environment while following all client instructions.

About: I've had cats all my life and got my first dog when I was 11. As soon as we brought her home, I helped walk her, feed her, and bathe her after she was sprayed by a skunk. Earlier this year, I began volunteering at 2 animal shelters where I walk dogs, brush cats, and socialize the animals. I have a lot of patience for all animals, but the timid ones have a special place in my heart. I also have some experience working with ill and elderly dogs. I'm pretty flexible during the summer, and I'm always happy to meet new furry friends! I will typically be available on short notice for both walks and drop-ins. Every animal is different, so I vary my approach depending on who I have the pleasure of working with. I communicate openly and frequently, and make sure to provide the best possible experience for everyone.

“Lindsey was great! Would book again!”

About: I’ve been around pets my whole life, my mom managed vet offices and shelters so I was never without (at least) 2 dogs and 4 cats. I started fostering puppies and kittens on my own when I was 10. Currently the mom of a sweet orange tabby. I would love to give your pets the love, play, and care they deserve when you’re away! I’m currently available all day, everyday for your furry friends! If needed, I even have availability to stay over night. I’m particularly a fan of morning walks :) I am very detail oriented, will follow your directions to a T, and reach out with any questions. You know what’s best for your pets! I have experience in childcare, so I know safety always comes first. Also, with my volunteer work at shelters, I understand how to calm grumpy dogs and cats down (and get their zoomies out, so you don’t come home to a gremlin!)

About: I’ve pet sat since age 10, having 3 dogs of my own growing up. I have pet sit for neighbors, friends, and family through the years Im a student, but my schedule is pretty flexible! I’m a student athlete at IU, and an animal behavior major. Feel free to reach out about scheduling! I make sure to follow your specific instructions carefully such as potty breaks when needed, feeding times, play time, locking up the crates(if applicable), etc

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have had experience with pups of all walks of life. As I got older, my friends got cats and I love a good kitty snuggle. I’m the friend that checks on the animals when you have to go out or hit up vacation! I work full time but work from home partially through the week! Usually available most weekday evenings after 5pm and would be available on set weekends for additional care beginning in the afternoons. I have a large fenced in backyard and work from home part of the week. I also have a separate area for crating, if needed. My own pup, Cricket, would love to have a buddy even now and again!

“Morgan has been the best walker we could have found for our pup. She takes extra care in making sure he gets a nice walk every day and shares plenty of photos each time. She has great communication with us as well. Highly, highly recommend! So glad we found her.”

About: Hello! Former veterinary assistant, forever animal lover here! Have spent the last 14 years working with dogs and cats in various professional contexts: boarding and daycare, animal shelters, high-volume spay/neuter, and, more recently, full-service veterinary medicine. Additionally, I have been caring for dogs and cats in my own home since I was young. I will offer your pet/s compassionate, attentive care. You can trust that I will be responsible, reliable, professional, and fun! I’m pretty flexible at the moment. Aside from animal care, my schedule is fairly open. Please reach out and I will try to accommodate! I am unable to care for pets in my own home as I have a reactive Aussie mix, BUT, I am more than willing to stay the night or day in your home to care for your pets, following all instructions and guidelines to the T.

About: have grown up caring for a wide variety of animals, including cats, dogs, rabbits, and more. I have genuinely enjoyed working with each of them. I have two cats, and a new puppy I have experience caring for kittens from birth until they were ready to be rehomed. Having a three-month-old puppy I have gained valuable hands-on experience with training, consistency, and daily care routines. I work fulltime but I’m available week evening and anytime weekend as well as possibly stopping by on work breaks if time allows but I’m very flexible on what you need to make work! Safety is very important to me as when going on walking all animals they will stay on leashes and if playing in yard that are not fence in they will stay on a leash
