Dog Sitting in Kouts

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, I have the biggest heart for them. I truly believe pets are what make a home, a home. To me, animals are more than just pets they are our best friends! I will do whatever I can to make sure your pet has the absolute best experience while you are away, even just for a day! I am available weekdays after 5 pm, and 24/7 on weekends! Perfect for dinner time or an end of the day walk! If needed in the morning, please reach out it can possibly be arranged as well! I can easily crate your dog if needed, but unless you request crating, your pet with have free range to roam the house at all times. Your rules are my rules. I have no rules for the animals, depending on what you allow, we allow pets on the couch, on the bed, sleeping with us, etc. I have another dog that would love to play with yours! I love taking dogs on daily walks, and providing all the cuddles possible!

About: Hi everyone! My name is Jess ☺️ I am a proud dog mom of two fur babies, Arie and Kira. I'm on Rover to give other dog parents a peace of mind; knowing that their fur babies are in good hands when their fur parents are enjoying their time away. I have experience with animals who have medical needs, as my own pups have them! I am willing to travel anywhere in Porter County. I am looking forward to meeting you and your fur babies! 🐾 I am a full time worker & student, but mostly off of my full time job by the afternoon. I can always be flexible with what you are needing! I make sure my dogs are walked daily as well as mentally stimulated with toys, I can assure that I will do the same with your dog!

About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life. I have experience in grooming, trimming nails, and even simple training with any type of dog. I've taken care of dogs from the early puppy stage all the way to when they become a senior. I currently have a full time job at an elementary school in Demotte, Indiana but am available after 4 pm and overnights on the weekend. I currently live at my mom's house, but we have a fenced in yard because of our dog. I would prefer to come to your house for any sitting services.

“As always, Jake is reliable. Would recommend to anyone. Has always been available to stop in and walk Rex when we have a long day out. My rude chihuahua likes him. That’s really saying something.”

I am very flexible outside of my time with work! I currently have a dog and 3 cats.

About: Hello! My name is Maria, and I am a local middle school teacher, coach, and most importantly, dog mom! I do not have any children of my own (aunt life is the best life), but I have a 13-year-old miniature daschund and a 12-year-old daschund/chihuahua mix who are my babies. During the school year I am available on nights and weekends, and during the summer I am free almost anytime you need me! Early morning visits? No problem! Late night walks? No problem! I have experience with dogs big and small, young and old, energetic and timid. Whether you are looking for a drop-in visit with cuddles and play time or a walk in the neighborhood or local park, you can rest assured knowing your dog is in loving care. My phone is always on, so you are guaranteed a quick response to any concerns or updates. I'd love to meet your best friend and have them become one of mine, too. As a teacher, I have summers off which allows me to be available any day or time you need! During the school year, I am available on most nights and weekends, as well. When caring for pets in their home, I make sure to visit once with the owner before taking on bookings to ensure that both the owner and pets have a chance to meet me and are comfortable with my care. This also allows me to learn routines to make my visits go smoothly!

About: I work at an animal hospital as a kennel attendant who takes care of dogs and cats for boarding and daycare. Everytime I see a dog or cat, my eyes light up. I have three dogs of my own and I love them more than anything. Dogs and cats are like family and deserve to be treated like one. Pet care fits into my daily routine everyday, whether it be at work or at home. My dogs are my everything. They are my children and they live a great life with us. I love all dogs and cats. It's safe to say your pets would be safe with me. I have experience with all sizes and behaviors.

About: Hi! I have worked in an animal shelter as an animal care technician for nearly four years. I have taken care of hundreds (likely thousands) of dogs, from puppies to seniors. I have seen a surplus of different medical and behavioral issues as well. I feel comfortable with these! I know a ton about animals; their care, behavior, handling, and overall wellbeing! I have always loved animals and making sure they have what's best for them. I'm almost complete with my vet assistant certificate, too! I am currently taking some summer classes for school. I can usually work around these, as they do not take up my entire days time. I can easily assess dog behavior to ensure that both the dog and myself are happy and safe. I can crate, walk, handle, and many other things with ease. I have four years of experience working with behaviorally challenged, shy, previously abused, untrusting, high energy, and the “typical” dogs. I have seen it all!

About: Let me take your dog on some great adventures, now that the sun is coming back out, that means long walks, dog parks and hikes! I'll feed and play with your pets per your instructions, cats included. I have four cats and a chihuahua, and I grew up with three large breed dogs. I love dogs of all sizes, and cats as well. Expert animal attendant, great petting skills. Willing to assist with grooming needs, including cleaning litter boxes, if necessary. Reliable transportation, defensive driver. Will spoil with dog or cat treats, as well as cat nip. Pet bathing is also something I am willing to do, dogs or cats, I'm not afraid of being scratched. Animal related chores are also included in my skill set. I’ve had my cat, Arya, since 2017, and her care and needs are taken care of first, every day. I feed her, clear her dishes weekly, brush her and play with her favorite laser toy. I always connect with my client, and see if they have any specific requests for their pets, be that general care, walking needs, special feeding requirements. I want their pet to have as close to a regular day as possible. If it’s simply stop by and check, I’ll make sure to check all their dishes, clean as needed, and feed before I leave.

About: I have volunteered at an animal shelter for the past few years. I have experience with training dogs and working with their behavioral issues. I have worked in an animal hospital for a year caring for all the dogs and cleaning up after them. We also had cat boarding, so I have a lot of experience working with cats! I’ve also fostered cats and dogs. This has given me the true experience of caring for a pet. I hate to see dogs kenneled up all day, or have to stay at a facility where they don’t get the tender loving care that they deserve. They deserve one on one attention in their own environment where they feel safe. I promise to provide your dog with the care and attention that they deserve. I’m also a big cat lover, as I have two cats of my own! I do have experience with nail trims and baths, so feel free to ask about that also! I currently have complete open availability! I easily can do quick drop bys to check on your dog or cat! I’m more than happy to stay overnight with them too! I always love an animal like it’s my own. They deserve all the love and attention. Whether it’s a quick walk or let out or an overnight stay, your dog will get lots of love.

“Excellent visit, our dog loves Alexandra and we would recommend her to anyone.”

About: I love all animals but have just two cats myself. I’ve worked with both domesticated pets at vet hospitals to wild animals at rehab centers and nature centers in NWI. I’m happy to be someone you can trust with your furry family while you’re away! I work hybrid and have a lot of flexibility to my schedule. I can usually be available morning, noon and night! I can easily find a way to fit your needs to my schedule. I like to be active so walks and play time are big for me. If your pet is more into snoozing on the couch, we can make that work too! I’m great with medications if needed and very protective of my own pets so you can rest assured that I will let you know of any issues should they arise.

About: I’ve always been around pets since I was little, whether it be dogs, cats, etc. I know how to care for them. I started doing Rover about 4 years ago, but had to stop due personal reasons and now I’m back on here. I have done multiple sittings before, so I can assure you I know what I’m doing and you will be pleased. I have worked with all types of dogs/cats. I have also been working at the porter county animal shelter for a year now as a cat/dog handler. Pictures included in my profile: My own dog, some of the pets ( not all) that I have sat for, and pictures of myself. Currently working at Porter County Animal Shelter
