Dog Walkers in Merom, IN

About: I have had several different breeds of cats over the years and I’ve learned they get very lonely when the owners are away for an extended period of time. Let me help ease your mind and comfort your pet while you’re away. Currently, I’m not working. This will provide me plenty of time to check in on your cat/cats whether it’s one time a day, multiple times a day or just a few days while you’re away from home. I have an indoor cat who likes to occasionally go outside but for the most part, she is an indoor cat. Her food and water are just kept out for her to have whenever she wants them. She knows when I take my dishes to the sink at night, it’s time for her treat. She has her special place on the couch and usually sleeps with me every night. She’s a bit spoiled. I once took her on vacation with us because I didn’t have anyone to check in on her. It didn’t go so well so I probably won’t do that again and I don’t recommend anyone else trying it either lol. This is one of the reasons I decided to join Rover as a sitter. I will care for your cat/cats exactly the way you ask me to and will provide them some comfort while you’re away.

About: I love animals of all kinds. I have had cats and dogs my whole life as well as help watch my neighbors pets while they are gone. Let me take great care of your pet while you're away! My schedule varies, sometimes I travel for work but when I am home I work from home so pet sitting is very flexible and easy for me. I can accomodate last minute bookings also. I have a large yard for pets to get excersice and I live in the country. My son is 12, very responsible and love pets, he is my little helper and would not only help take care of your baby but give them extra love!

About: Hi there! Pet lover of all types here 👋❤️ My own diverse animal family includes a chihuahua, a cat, a green cheek conure, and backyard ducks. I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes and breeds, cats, and some more exotic animals–just ask! As an added bonus, I offer a complimentary service to ensure your pet returns home refreshed! Dogs who enjoy bathing will receive a complimentary bath. For cats and dogs who prefer or require it (such as long-haired breeds or those who dislike baths), I will still provide a complimentary brushing session! As an online master's student and stay at home parent, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate pletentiful time and attention to your pet's needs. My days are structured to accommodate frequent check-ins, playtime, walks, and feeding schedules–ensuring your pet receives consistent care and companionship. My home provides a comfortable and stimulating environment for your pet. I have a large yard where dogs can enjoy plenty of playtime and exercise. I also live in a friendly neighborhood with safe and scenic walking routes. My own friendly chihuahua provides companionship, but he can also be crated for dogs who prefer their own space or need to be separated. I am very aware of dog dynamics, and will keep all dogs safe and happy. I follow your pet's routine, including feeding schedules, playtime preferences, and any specific instructions you provide.

About: I have watched beloved family pets for many friends and family during my life time. Being an animal lover myself, I know that your pets are family and I make sure to treat them as such! Growing up with family dogs and cats, and currently our funky boxer dog Rufus, I know what it takes to be a successful animal sitter and how much love they need. I work a full time job, from 9-4:30 pm Monday-Friday with the exception of one remote day on Wednesdays. Most pets are used to this schedule. I will ensure they will have potty breaks first thing in the morning, during my lunch break at 1, and then once I return to the home at 5. And then several throughout the evening and before bed. I will care for your pet in the environment they feel the safest in… your home. By allowing your animal to remain at home, it eases their stress and anxiety and gives them a comforting feel of familiarity. No need to pack up enough food and treats for the week. I will be happy to follow your thorough instructions on how to care for your pet.

About: I am a mother of 4 with lots of animals. We have 4 cats, 4 dogs and 6 chickens. I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was 8 years old. I love animals of all kinds and have helped train several rescues. I am a stay at home mom. I don't have many set plans and can take breaks to do whatever is needed. I love animals and love spending time with all types. I am able to walk or feed and love on dogs or cats whenever needed. I am open to any type of animal and can accommodate for most things.

About: Trustworthy and reliable! I’ve always been someone that my friends and neighbors could leave their pets with and expect them to be properly taken care of. I own two dogs, Bear and Elli, that I travel full with full time. We have landed back in Bend in search of a more permanent home. Elli is a firecracker of force when it comes to chasing down and catching a frisbee! She has a huge personality and huge tongue!! Bear is a “tug-a-holic” that would pull me into next week if given the opportunity! We usually will take the dogs on walks and perform some kind of training criteria at least twice a day. As I am eager to dive fully into dog training, I felt it necessary to get my hands on more dogs to better understand the needs and interests of each dog in my care. I am looking forward to being of service to you and your beloved pets! I currently have two dogs, a 4yr old German Shepherd and a 2yr old Belgian Malinois, so dog care and advanced training is a daily activity. Playtime and training look very similar in our life. My dogs are fully house and crate trained with stellar recall and obedience skills. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize their comfort, routine, and well-being. I take the time to understand each pet’s unique needs, from feeding schedules to favorite activities, ensuring they feel safe and secure while their owner is away. I maintain a calm and structured environment, providing enrichment, playtime, and plenty of affection (if they enjoy it!). I also have experience with training reinforcement, medication administration, and managing multiple pets in a household. Cleanliness and respect for my client’s home are equally important to me—I always leave things as I found them. My goal is to make each pet’s time with me stress-free and enjoyable so owners can have peace of mind while they’re away!

About: I have always grown up in a house with dogs. Big dogs, little dogs -both at times! No one understands you and your feelings better than your fur-baby, and I understand that leaving them is one of the most nerve racking things we can do - que me! I want to love your fur babies as I love my own - Nala, Oliver and MT. They are my whole world and my husband and I simply couldn't imagine life without them. We love to go for long walks, offer mild obedience training and tons of TLC! Should your pet need a place to stay, my pups love company and rest assured they would have ample amounts of play time! We believe that furniture is meant to be sat on, by us and our furry friends - and your babies will be no exception!

“Tracy was amazing, dedicated, and so loving to my pups! I would use her anytime!”

About: I have had the privilege of having / taking care of animals since I was about 5 years old. I have taken care of many different types from horses and cattle to dogs, cats and birds. I love the many personalities and it is rewarding to have a new fur friend. I currently have flexibility with my work. This means I have availability to care for your fur babies during the week days. I may have possible availability during the weekends. I have an outside fenced in pin for your fur baby to enjoy some alone time in the sun. I can also crate the dog if needed. I have two friendly dogs that I can have play to help keep them company.

“Desi is very nice, she’s experienced, dependable, and overall just a serious dog person! I highly recommend her services”

About: I love all animals. I especially love dogs and cats. I have worked with animal rescue groups and I volunteer my time to help shelters and their efforts. I have had dogs and cats all of my life. Mostly large breeds. I am comfortable with any large breed. I am also very patient with dogs that are still learning. When I am walking a dog I am fully focused on them and do not try to rush them. I help reassure them if they feel anxious or unsure of their surroundings. It should be an enjoyable and healthy experience for the dog and for me as well! I would like to have several regulars that know me and are excited to get a routine going. Having a relationship with the dog and owners is important to me so everyone can feel comfortable.

About: I love caring for pets! I have had various pets all my life. I enjoy walking dogs, playing fetch, feeding etc. Would love to get to know your pet and provide the extra care/services you are looking for! I do this in my free time on my days off. I am not always in town so availability may vary. Typically availability is approximately 2-3 days of the week (depends on days off). I have a fenced in back yard and 2 dogs of my own to keep your fur baby company. My neighborhood is good for dog walks and parks are not too far away if your dog loves the park!

About: I have had animals all my life, from dogs to chickens and goats. We have always had at least 2 dogs in the house so I understand the needs and the care treatment they need. I have also had a cat and understand what they need as well.
