About: I’ve had dogs for over 10 years, especially small dogs, as well as cats for the last three. I enjoy taking care of all creatures, great and small, and I live in a neighborhood perfect for walking. I do have a standard 9 to 5 jobs, but they are OK with pets in the building. I am easily able to take them outside for potty break. I have a neighborhood with only one entrance before cars, and is extremely safe. It is the perfect area to go for a walk. There is an open space in the middle of the neighborhood. Great for playing fetch. I have aI have a neighborhood with only one entrance before cars, and is extremely safe.

“Melissa is fantastic. My little anxious dog is new to drop in visits while I'm gone, but Melissa showed her exactly the patience and kindness she needed to get comfortable. Olive treats her like a great friend every time she sees her now! I'd recommend Melissa to anyone without hesitation.”

About: I love all animals and have a special place in my heart for them all. I have been pet sitting and walking dogs for over 30 years. I believe that it is important to take each dog's individual personality and preferences into account when caring for them. I enjoy all kinds of walks, from strolls around the block to lengthy hikes in the woods. I can't wait to meet you and your pup(s)! I have flexibility that can be adjusted to fir your pets needs whether it be for walks, feeding, or extra play time. Whatever their needs, I got it covered I care for your pet as if they are my own. Routines and schedules are important so I follow your schedule and your routine that you have with your pet so they stay safe and always feel comfortable

About: Whether it be dogs, cats, horses, cows, or any animal in-between, I've been raised around animals all of my life. I've had a dog that I've cared for on my own since I was nine years old and couldn't imagine my life without one. With over 15 years of pet care experience, I'm more than comfortable handling your pet from the puppy/kitten stage to their golden senior years, and have experience with medication administration and special care attention. I currently have a three year old Australian Shepherd of my own, and so have no issue handling dogs with a stronger need for mental stimulation and exercise. Whether it be a simple check-in at the home, to a walk around the neighborhood, to taking your dog to the local park or joining me on a run, I'm happy to ensure that we keep your dog to the schedule he/she prefers at your comfort level! If you happen to have a feline friend instead, I have several years experience babysitting for the neighborhood and college friends' cats, and am more than happy to watch over your fur baby while you're away.

About: Hello, my name’s Anna. I have been taking care of dogs since I was 18. My family recently got a golden doodle several years ago and he has definitely been a joy and a task. Having a dog such as mine has made me more comfortable in my dog caring skills and fairly knowledgeable about what needs dogs have. I’m also very well equipped to handle puppies as I recently got a cocker spaniel several months ago. But given that, my passion for dogs continues to grow. I work full time but like to stay active and adding furry friends to the mix on my days off is no big task. I would love to see more dog friends and help them socialize and make someone’s life easier. I don’t have a fenced in back yard, but I am capable of taking dogs on as many walks as needed. I am also capable of putting dogs in a crate and preparing them for crating as long as needed.

About: I've had pets my entire life and have always had a deep interest in how to better care for them. Animal health and body language is a passion of mine and I can ensure the health and safety of your pet in your absence because of it. I'm currently looking for work so at the moment I have a lot of free time to take care of your pets. Until I find a job I have almost nothing getting in the way. I can easily take care of feeding, playing, and cleaning up after your animals. I'm very conscious of animals dietary restrictions and any necessary schedules or special routines. I can also medicate your pet if necessary. I have experience both with elderly animals and very young.

“Emily was great!! She walked my husky a couple of times while I was gone for the day and sent awesome updates on how everything went. My dog also takes medication several times a day. I felt super reassured that she is a vet tech and was able to easily give him his medication. I will definitely be re-booking for any future walks or check-in visits. Thank you!!!”

I am a college student attending IUSB full time. I am originally from South Bend, Indiana. I have not met a single dog I have not fallen in love with immediately yet.

About: My family has trusted me to take care of there pets when they go on vacation. I'm the known animal lover in the family and love walking dogs. I love all kinds of dogs and i'm even love walking dogs that tend to be leash reactive. My dog is leash reactive so i'm very comfortable with handling those situations. I also love training and am very patient with puppies and senior dogs. I am currently available on the weekdays for the summer and thought I would build my pet care experience as i am going to school for a registered veterinary technician. I love dogs with all types of habits. I am a very patient person since i know what it's like to have a reactive dog or having puppies.

Specifically cows, goats, horses, sheep, and chickens. I would love to care for your farm while you are away! As of present I am 100% free to take care of your animals! I love animals and want to make it my full time job. I am able to go on long walks, take them to the dog park, give medication, or simply snuggle and lay low if that is what they prefer to do!

I’m comfortable administering medications and helping animals up if they have trouble with stairs. While I do not provide animal care at my home anymore as I have two strong minded dogs of my own that value their space - I am comfortable with popping in at your place to care for your pet while your gone.

About: I have attended puppy training courses. I also have extensive experience with fostering dogs and cats. I have been a pet owner of my own since 2009. I have had an animal in my life since I was born. I currently am a stay-at-home dog/cat mom. My schedule is very flexible! Perfect to fit in lovings for your special baby (babies)! My husband also works from home. Our country home provides ample acreage to explore leashed. Small fence available for the little ones who aren’t escape artists. Our animals are our babies. All of our animals are closely watched. We have two dogs (soon 3) and three cats. One cat has taken over our primary suite because she is sensitive and needed to be an only cat. She doesn’t mind dogs, but wanted her own space. So we transformed our primary suite into her castle. Our dogs go everywhere with us. One of our cats even travels with us occasionally. Our home is set 900 feet off the road surrounded by natural boundaries to keep your pet safe. Your pet will always be safe with me.

About: I have extensive experience with animals from working at a local vet clinic, dog training facility, and horse farm. I also have a dog of my own that I’ve cared for for 12 years. I am currently in school to become a vet tech and am capable of caring for animals with basic medical needs. I am currently doing online schooling over the summer, but other than that my days are free to care for or walk your beloved pets. I will not be having pets at my own house, but I can follow explicit instructions, respect the clients home and privacy, and care for clients’ pets as if they were my own.

“Kelsey was a wonderful dog-walker for our Theo. She was responsive and accommodating when we were making the arrangements. Theo clearly loved her from the photos she sent. Absolutely we would book with her again. Very pleased and happy.”
