Dog Walkers in Merriam, IN

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a little girl. My grandma raised and sold dachshunds for as long as I can remember. I helped her a lot growing up, from training them, feeding them, walking them etc. I have experience training puppies and also take care of elderly dogs. My dog I’ve had since my childhood turned 13 this year she’s super fragile and sweet. I have house sitted for friends and families over the years weather that was dogs or cats or all animals (I took care of horses too). I love all breeds and sizes of dogs, never met a dog I didn’t like. I make my own routine/schedule for work and so I can be pretty flexible as to when and how many times I see or walk your dog. I have a fenced in yard and about an acre of land for them to roam! We live in a good neighborhood and can take them for long walks around the lake! I can feed, walk, wash, train, and or play with your lovely dog◡̈

About: I have always lived with animals whether it’s my beef cattle I would show in 4-H to having inside and outside dogs and cats. We also had chickens as I grew up so I always had a small farm animals to play with and have always loved spending time with them I’m usually free on the weekends and have school during the day but I’m an senior and I’m graduating soon and my schedule will open up a lot more. We let our dogs rome in the house and then they will usually sleep on one of our pond at night I’m able to cage them if needed but willing to sleep with them if they arnt crated we dont have fenced in yard but live in the country side so not very far to go

About: I have had dogs and cats my whole life, so I’m very comfortable taking care of them. I’ve helped friends and family with their pets, including feeding, walking, and just giving them attention. I’m patient, reliable, and will make sure your pet feels safe and cared for. I’m currently a part-time student and work part-time. I’m fully available on Tuesdays and Thursdays. For the rest of the week, I have a flexible schedule and can visit at times that work best for you. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own home. I follow any instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, and routines. I’m very respectful of your space and will keep everything clean and secure. I’ll also keep you updated so you feel confident your pet is in good hands.

About: I have been obsessed with dogs as a child. My parents told me I couldn't get one until I proved I was responsible enough to care for one. After a year of staying on top of the chores and responsibilities my parents gave me. I was finally allowed to go get my puppy and have been involved with dogs ever since! I have now done a 6 week in person dog training course. That came with basic dog first aid and nutrition. If you have any questions feel free to ask! You can find my business page at Solid Foundation Dog Training on facebook! I am currently setting all my own hour for work. I full time train dogs so i often can change my hours if needed. I would love to walk and check in on your pups to make sure they are as happy as can be. When we are not home our youngest pup is in the crate and does great. The older 2 stay in the laundry room and the hall leading to the kitchen with just a gate keeping them in there. They are fed 2 times a day morning and night. They get brushed a lot because of the shedding and they get snuggles on the couch every night. I love training and learning how to train them to do new things.

About: I have always taken good care of our dogs since I was little. I love every kind of dog. Big or little I love them all the same. I currently work at a restaurant a few days a week. Mostly evenings. I need something to do during the day. I would love every minute of it . We have 3 Rottweilers that I take care of everyday. I take them outside on our 5 acres and let them run and play. The love to chase tennis balls.

About: What sets me apart is my extensive experience with both dogs and cats, combined with a genuine love for animals. I've spent summers working as a dedicated dog walker and have years of experience dog and cat sitting for friends and family, so I'm confident in my ability to handle any pet care need. Your furry friends will receive personalized attention, plenty of playtime, and a safe, comfortable environment when they're with me. I am currently working part-time and have plenty of time for hanging around with pups! I also attend my local community college part-time. I do have a different work schedule each week but I am more than willing to arrange a schedule for your pups needs! Whether I'm looking after your pets in my home or yours, my top priority is creating a safe, comfortable, and fun environment for them. I follow your specific instructions for feeding, exercise, and any medications, ensuring their routine stays consistent. Plenty of playtime, cuddles, and attention are always on the agenda, and I'm quick to adapt to each pet's unique personality and needs, providing personalized care that keeps them happy and secure.

About: Growing up with an Australian Shepherd Blue Heeler mix (Buddy), I loved teaching him new tricks, going for walks, and playing enriching games that helped get his energy out. My parents added a Chiweenie (Joey) to the family a couple years ago, so now when I visit I love to walk them both, give Buddy back massages, and snuggle little lap dog Joey. I often dog/house sit for my parents; being in their home environment seems to be most comfortable for the pups. Aside from dogs, I graduated from IU Bloomington in 2021, have switched careers from management and sales to healthcare, and now work for a local school system. I am looking for something fun, active, and outdoors for the summer - what better activity than dog walking/sitting?! I cannot wait to connect and meet your furry family. I am currently working full time, but will soon have the summer off to help care for your pups! My current schedule varies, but I am available some evenings and weekends. Send me a message and I will get back to you ASAP! I will ensure to adhere to any dog schedules/routines, send regular photo/text updates upon client request, and to care for your dogs like my own. I will do everything in my power to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. You can expect frequent and thorough communication - don’t be afraid to leave detailed lists/notes of exactly how you want your dog cared for. I will do my best to mimic how you care for your pet to ease any distress and make your absence as enjoyable as possible for them.

About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was 8-9 years old. I grew up with dogs of all breeds, and dog sat for neighbors, and family members. I don't just watch dogs; I build trust with them. Take the time to learn each dog's personality, routines, and quirks so they feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. I'm currently a stay-at-home dog mom who's working on building a coffee business/doggy daycare. I'm usually free from Monday-Friday, I'm flexible with scheduling! I can adapt to the environment around me, and work with how the pets are and what their routines are usually and allow the pets to feel comfortable with me.

“Deanna has skills. When our reactive rescue got out of the car, Deanna kept her hands relaxed and at her sides. She continued to talk with us and did not look at our girl. This is exactly how to meet an anxious dog! And our Portia responded by walking right up to Deanna and sniffing her. Portia walked with Rick this walkie. But Portia did walk between Deanna and him. She would normally be as far from anyone not us, as she could get! Most excellent! Our Mr. Baloo has never met a stranger and he was happy to make her acquaintance! We have already rebooked! Thanks Deanna!”
