Dog Walkers in Laotto, IN

About: I am a responsible, active individual with a love for dogs and cats. I have a tabby cat named Nala and German Shepherd named Blake. I am experienced in giving oral medication, taking dogs to the dog park, calming dogs during thunderstorms, and going on some cool car rides with the windows down. I realize pets are like children for many people and I intend to treat them as such. I will do my best to be a high-performing pet caretaker for whatever drop-in services are needed of me. I am currently between travel contract jobs so am available for all hours, however, they are subject to change based on my next work contract. I am currently providing drop-in visits for both dogs and cats in addition to dog walking. I am experienced with both shy and outgoing dogs and cats. I know some pets like to act as escape artists and will be aware of open doors, fences, escape routes, etc.

“She was fantastic with our Winston. He took right to her and couldn't wait to see her everyday. She has a special gift with animals and it helped us out alot with our little guy. Very dependable and trustworthy pet sitter. I would recommend her to everyone. She was a 10 in our book.”

About: PSA: I am taking a week off in July, the 20th through the 27th. I request owners make sure their pets have been treated for fleas the month of their booking. This prevents your pet from bringing them here but also protects them from the possibility of picking them up outside during their stay and bringing them home. I regularly keep my home and pets treated as well, but every family doing their part keeps their pets, other client pets and my pets and home safe. Thank you! ❤️ Proper care of animals is my passion, priority and lifestyle. I offer boarding, daycare, drop-in visits, dog walking & basic grooming in Auburn, Indiana and nearby surrounding areas. I take pride in giving pets a cozy and safe environment, ensuring a stress-free time for both the pets and their owners. I am a full time pet sitter, so I have plenty of time to spend with your pet! I do occasionally need leave my home for an hour or so, for drop-in visits or occasional other errands. When not supervised I can crate your pup/kitty or put them in a separate room. I do request owners provide a crate in case its needed. On a regular day to day basis, I usually let dogs wander the house freely with supervision. They are crated at night and if they cannot be supervised. Dogs get plenty of time outside to run, play and potty daily! I am available weekdays, weekends & most holidays! I keep my calendar updated so please check it out! I am lifelong pet owner and animal lover. I've always surrounded myself with many animals, taking in strays or ones who need rehomed. I have two friendly dogs, many cats, two horses and pet rats of my own. I have experience caring for many different animals ranging from hamsters to horses! There aint no pup too big or small; too young or old, I am honored to care for them all. I am happy to clean litterboxes, pick up your pups droppings in your yard and clean other animal enclosures. I offer basic grooming such as baths, brushing & nail trimming which can be added on to drop-in, boarding or daycare bookings for a $10 fee. I can pick up and drop off dogs for daycare or boarding for a $20 fee. I have experience giving oral medication, applying ointments and treatments and caring for pets recovering from surgery. I am always eager to expand my knowledge with animals when an opportunity arises! My husband and I live in a clean house outside town with a large 1 acre yard, for plenty of run and play! We're on a quiet country road, 7 minutes from the nearest vet. I do have a fenced in play area outside for the dogs and can also walk by leash. Client dogs will be brought to the fenced in area by leash to ensure safety. If you have any other questions or concerns please reach out to me, I'd be happy to speak with you! I look forward to hearing from you and building a long term relationship with you and your furry friend! I am pet sitting full time, so I can provide your pet with plenty of attention, play time and the love & care you expect. I have a large yard on a quiet country road and 2 dogs and plenty of cats to keep your pet company, along with my watchful eye of course. I can easily crate your pet when needed so long as a crate or carrier is provided. Animals will always be introduced slowly, with barrier (fence or baby gate) to ensure safe introductions. Dogs are never fed near eachother. I care deeply for animals and will intentionally make sure your pet is as safe and happy as physically possible! I live 7 minutes away from the nearest vet. Pets will be separated from others during meal times.

About: At Williamson Animal Care and Control I volunteered walking dogs. I also received significant training in dog behavior and dog walking. After retiring from my career, I started my pet sitting and dog walking career. I took care of a rescued Great Pyrenees multiple times during the week and frequently overnight trips for over two years. I recently moved back to the Fort Wayne area from Franklin, TN. Three of my previous dog clients have shown interest in having me come back to stay with their dogs when they’re out of town for more than a couple days. Pet sitting and dog walking are my primary responsibilities along with taking care of my two cats. I have a very flexible and available schedule. I take pride and making sure that the client’s home is as good if not better when I entered. I will walk the dog, feed or treat, make sure the water bowl is full and also if appropriate snuggles.
