Doggy Day Care in Merriam

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◡̈

“Alexis is absolutely awesome! She does such a great job watching Brutus and always makes sure he’s happy, safe, and well cared for. You can tell she genuinely cares about him, and that gives us total peace of mind. Brutus loves her, and we couldn’t ask for a better person to trust with him. Highly recommend Alexis to anyone looking for someone reliable and amazing with dogs!”

“Wes was able to watch my pup Trooper 3 separate weeks when I was in Fort Wayne for work and him and his wife were so kind and helpful. They were very flexible and accommodating with my changing schedule, and Trooper loved going over to their house to play with their 3 other dogs. Highly recommend Wes if your in need of someone to look out for your dog!”

About: Hello! I am a foster mom and an active pet rescue volunteer, ready to care for your pet. Snuggles, playtime, and photos are guaranteed! I am a newer resident of Treasure Island and would love to get to know people and care for their pets as I find my place in the community. I look forward to meeting you and providing your furry family members with extra special care and attention. Trust me, when I say your pet is special to me. My schedule is flexible, so I am available to drop in for a visit in the morning, before work, after work, and/or again in the evening. As a lifelong pet owner and foster mom, I am dedicated to giving every animal the special love and care they deserve, especially when their families are away. It's completely normal for your pet to feel restless during the first couple of days and evenings. This behavior can vary based on each pet's background, and I understand that it is to be expected. I will do my best to give your pet the time they need to adjust to me at their own pace, while providing plenty of love, comfort, and patience.

About: Growing up we always had dogs! From German shepherds to doodles, I’ve had experience in caring for a variety of breeds. I have a 3 month old Golden Retriever puppy, who I’ve taught general commands to, crate trained, potty trained, and manners. I’d love to help you in caring for your fur babies! I offer flexible drop-off and pick-up times, transportation to and from my home if needed. If approved by owner, visits to the park on leashes will be offered. My husband and I recently moved to the Fort Wayne area. I am currently not working and have wide open availability! I can be flexible to accommodate existing routines and schedules for pet care and or house sitting. I have 3 acres of open land for dogs to run. All outside visits whether it’s play time or potty breaks are supervised. Animals are kept on a routine or schedule, as I think this helps reinforce good behavior. My 3 month old Golden Retriever puppy is crate trained and sleeps in his crate overnight. I have experienced in dog training as well.

About: For the past 9 years, I have been a dedicated dog owner, providing a loving home filled with care, affection, and attention. My experience includes participating in a variety of dog training classes, such as obedience, agility, and dock diving. Through these experiences, I’ve learned that every dog has a unique personality and responds differently to people, requiring patience, understanding, and tailored care. Currently available anytime after 5:30pm Monday through Friday… and every weekend. I will keep my schedule as up to date as possible so you never fall without care. Security is top of mind for your home and mine. Making sure they know wherever they are is a safe space for playing and fun.

About: I have been involved in several volunteer groups for pets and rescue organizations. I’m sure I could help your peace of mind when you need. I’m currently working for Rover full time. I’m looking to make this a career path and I’m trying to earn more than happiness from Rover. My apartment has a private entrance and I have parks and trails to take them near me that are secure. I have multiple options for boarding.

About: I have always had dogs in my life. I have taken care of family and friends' dogs when they go on vacation. My family and I love taking care of animals. I am currently working from home. We are a homeschool family so pets always have someone around to play with them and let them outside for potty breaks. I have an open yard. I have a kennel out the back door for potty breaks. I have 2 dogs of my own that gets along with everyone. I have 2 children so there is always someone to tend to your dog's needs.

About: Hi I'm Gina! Caring for animals has always come naturally to me. l've spent my entire life taking care of animals of all types and personalities. Along with 20 years of experience taking care of dogs and cats, I've also cared for exotic pets of all types and sizes from Reptiles, mice, birds and more, to large farm animals 200+ pounds. I've cared for animals of all ages throughout my life, from kittens and puppies, to seniors who need more patience and support. I know how to move slowly when I need to, I know how to make animals feel at home in my space when their person isn't with them. My energy level is adaptable to the energy I get from your pet. Whether your animal wants a peaceful space or a fun getaway I can provide that. What sets me apart is the way I energetically connect with animals. Animals have been drawn to me since I was little. I study animal behavior on the side so I'm able to notice shifts in behavior easily. I am also experienced in training animals and I'm on the path to become a certified trainer. My current schedule and circumstances allow for boarding stays and day care at my house. I will always go the extra mile to be there to you and your animals! Thank you🫶🏻❤️ I respect the unique rhythm of every animal and I follow instructions to a T. Whether it's sticking to feeding routines, cleaning up with care, administering meds, or offering quiet company, I show up fully. My presence is gentle, adaptable, and entertaining; something animals tend to trust quickly. I have 6 dogs who are in a sectioned off part of the house and I have a big yard and a nice neighborhood to take pets outside on walks. I don't have a fence but I am extremely careful about it. I am able to handle animals three times my weight and I have never and would never let anything happen to your precious pet! I take pride in having a safe space for all animals in my care!

“She was a lifesaver on a short notice Friday/Saturday when I had to go out of town for events with my son. I was so worried about Nova being a puppy and so full of energy and in a strange home overnight on the first boarding. Samanta messaged me updates and photos and made me feel much better!! Definitely will call her in the future if I need to.”

“Jett had the best time and always gets spoiled endlessly! Our favorite dog sitter in Fort Wayne!!! Loved getting all the pictures in his short stay 😊”

About: Hi! I provide attentive, full-time care from my home, which means your pet will never be left alone for long periods. Because I’m home throughout the day, I’m able to give consistent supervision, regular potty breaks, playtime, and lots of affection. What sets me apart is the level of attention and structure I provide. I don’t just “watch” pets, I actively engage with them. Whether that means helping reinforce puppy training (crate training, basic commands, potty routines), sticking closely to a senior dog’s medication or mobility needs, or giving anxious pets extra patience and reassurance, I tailor care to each pet’s personality. I do have a yard for outdoor time and fresh air. Since it isn’t fenced, all outdoor time is supervised and safely managed to ensure your pet’s security at all times. I’m comfortable caring for: • Puppies who need structure and frequent potty breaks • Senior pets who require a slower pace or medication • High-energy dogs who need active play and stimulation • Shy or anxious pets who benefit from a calm, consistent environment You’ll also receive regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is for you to feel completely at ease while you’re away and for your pet to feel safe, happy, and loved. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I’m home full-time. This allows me to build my day around the pets in my care rather than fitting them in between long absences. Mornings typically begin with feeding, potty breaks or litter box cleaning, and some one-on-one attention. Throughout the day, I provide regular outdoor breaks (fully supervised), playtime, enrichment, and plenty of affection. Because I’m home, I can easily maintain your pet’s normal feeding schedule and routine. In the evenings, pets continue to receive attention and companionship so they feel settled and comfortable. My schedule allows me to provide consistent supervision and structure every day of the week. When caring for pets in my home, I focus on maintaining a calm, structured, and safe environment. Because I’m home full-time, pets receive consistent supervision, regular potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of companionship throughout the day. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, crate preferences, exercise needs, and sleep habits. I understand that consistency helps pets feel secure, especially in a new environment. I have a yard for outdoor time and fresh air. Since it isn’t fenced, all outside time is closely supervised to ensure safety. Pets are never left unattended outdoors. In a client’s home, I respect your space and your pet’s established routine. I prioritize feeding schedules, clean water, potty breaks or litter box care, enrichment, and one-on-one attention. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is safe and comfortable. My goal in any setting is to create a low-stress, attentive experience where pets feel secure and cared for.

About: Caring for pets isn’t just something I do — it’s something I genuinely love. I treat every pet like my own, taking the time to understand their routines, personalities, and comfort needs so they feel safe, relaxed, and happy while you’re away. I’m a fully retired L/D nurse of 15 years who is home 24/7. I’m 40 years old and able to accommodate special feeding/medication times plus offer a regular routine similar to the one they already have at home. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priority. Our home is a pet-friendly, secure environment, with no hazards and plenty of space to play, explore, and relax. We maintain a calm, clean, and structured routine so pets feel safe, happy, and at ease while you’re away.

“Donut was well taken care of by Millie! I had to be at work last minute and Millie was able to watch him for the entire day and into the evening. I loved how Millie would send photos and updates throughout the day. I would definitely book with Millie again!”
