Dog Sitting Merrillville

About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I can remember. I have previously worked at a cat hospital so I am able to give medications to pets by request. I am a big animal lover, I have had almost every type of pet imaginable so I have a wide range of experience. I have taken care of dogs, cats, large and small birds, fish, ferrets, rabbits, and rats since I was little. I am a student so I have very open availability. I look forward to talking to you about your pet care needs I work part time usually pretty consistently. However it is not long hours except on some weekends. But I am still available to work almost daily I try my best to make it look like I haven’t been there. I love sending pictures of happy pets so every time I visit I will definitely send you tons of pictures. I prefer to meet in advance just to go over your pet(s) needs and see where food, treats, and toys are located before you are away.

About: **Are you located outside of the service area, but I seem like a good match? Please reach out anyway, I'd love to speak with you and could be open to traveling a little further in some circumstances! Hi! My name is Amanda. Thank you for your attention to my Rover profile. I've had pets most of my life! Our family includes a 140lb special needs mastiff (Perro de Presa Canario aka, Canary mastiff), a 12lb Cairn terrier, a 50lb Staffy/boxer mix, and last but not least: a 7lb Dutchie/New Zealand house bunny aka, "The Queen". I am comfortable getting my hands dirty. I have a hard time resisting getting down on the ground everytime I meet someone's dog. It might be my toxic trait. I'm comfortable with bathing and light grooming including: brushing, nail care, and dental care. My availability revolves around my own pets and their needs, of which there are many—medication, walks, grooming, enrichment, etc.. Essentially, my life revolves around ensuring that theirs is one that is as fulfilling, and a far cry from the situations from which they were rescued, as possible. We have a fenced yard on an acre plot. Our bunny is litterbox trained and lives along side us as the beautiful queen that she is. Some people may call us obsessive, but we just love our pets and want to be the best custodians possible.

About: I enjoy spending time caring for animals, especially dogs. I love going on walks, playing, and making sure pets feel happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away! I’m currently a college student at Indiana University Northwest, and with summer here I have a much more flexible schedule. While I do work a part time job, I’m still able to make multiple visits throughout the day to give your pup plenty of attention, care, walks, and playtime! I provide a safe and caring environment whether your dog stays in my home or I care for them in yours. I have a fenced yard for safe outdoor time, and dogs will always be leashed on walks. I’ll make sure your pup stays on their routine with fresh food and water, regular potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and plenty of attention!

“Nicole was amazing! She eased any worries we had and also updated us with pictures and videos while we were gone. She was very much in touch with any updates. We will definitely rebook her the next time we need someone to care for our pup and we’re so glad that we booked Nicole in the first place!”

About: I'm an experienced dog sitter and work at a veterinary clinic as a kennel attendant, where I care for dogs and cats of all ages, including puppies, seniors, and pets with special needs. I provide safe, reliable, and compassionate care, and I'll treat your pet like they're my own. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. I work as a kennel attendant at a veterinary clinic and plan my schedule to provide reliable walks, drop-in visits, and attentive care before and after work, as well as on my days off. I follow each pet's normal routine to help them feel safe and comfortable. I provide fresh food and water, walks or playtime, potty breaks, lots of attention, and any requested medications or special care. I always keep owners updated with photos and messages so they know their pet is happy and well cared for.

“Gaby was amazing! She did EVERYTHING we asked and sent so many cute pictures of our little kitties! It made our day every time she did this and we're going to ask for HER SPECIFICALLY next time we need to go out of town. Thanks so much Gaby!”

“Samantha was the greatest. She gave my cat space while also making sure that she can leave her sent with him. She gave great ideas to help me because this is my first time having a cat sitter. She is so receptive and she gives great advice. She connected with my cat wonderfully, and I truly appreciate what she had done with feeding him and connecting with him. I will use her again. She is definitely my go to and I would highly recommend her.”

She demonstrated effective communication skills and kept me up to date on the day to day activities of her care of my babies. Sydney is kind and compassionate and will ask for her services in the future. If you are looking for someone to care for your animals that you can trust, contact Sydney…🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟”

About: I'm a special education teacher who has lots of experience taking care of others. My patience is very high and I have a high need to take care of things. I've owned a dog that I loved. Taking him for walks was one of my favorite things to do with him. Taking him out to do his business, no matter the weather, never bothered me. We would have fun going to parks where we would play fetch and where he could run around. I'm willing to stay at homes to take care of your pet if you feel more comfortable with that than your pet staying in my home. I have a lot of love to give and, if you'll let me, I would love for you to allow me to lavish your pet with that love.

About: I provide dependable dog walking and drop-in services focused on keeping your pets safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet’s care. I have two large dogs of my own, ages 7 and 9, so I’m very familiar with handling bigger breeds, different energy levels, and daily routines. Whether your pet needs a quick check-in, a potty break, or a longer walk to burn off energy, I’m committed to giving them the attention and care they deserve. I work full-time during the day M-F, but I’m available for dog walks and drop-in visits in the evenings and on weekends. I’m happy to help provide reliable care during those times to fit your schedule and your pet’s needs. I focus on keeping pets comfortable by sticking closely to their normal routines and home environment. In a client’s home, I follow all care instructions carefully including feeding, fresh water, walks, litter box or yard clean up, and plenty of attention and playtime based on your pet’s personality. I always prioritize safety, cleanliness, and clear communication, so you can feel confident your pet is well cared for while you’re away.

“Cassidy is a very caring dog sitter and my dog loves her ❤️ She is very thorough and communication is the best! She was very flexible and helped me out in a pinch which I am extremely grateful. Thank you!”

About: Hi! I have cared for dogs technically my whole life since I grew up with them. When I went to college I got a dog of my own and have had another since then. I love going on walks and playing with dogs. I am a part time nanny, but go on a walk every morning, afternoon, and evening. On top of that I do potty breaks first thing in the morning and before bed. I have a puppy proofed home since I have a pup of my own. I don’t have a fence but know how to get a dog’s energy out by playing however their style is and am good assessing what a dog needs.

“Mekynzie is great, I always get so cute pictures from her stay with my dog, it makes me feel beeter knowing that she visit him and take him pee. Thank you!”

About: Dog owner and animal lover with over 2 years of hands-on experience caring for and training my Labrador Retriever.

About: I have taken care of animals my whole life. Family and friends have relied on me for decades to take care of their animals. Growing up on a farm helped give me a lifelong affinity for animals. I’m a teacher who is off all summer. I have plenty of time to fill and would love to look after your animals, either in my home, as a drop in, or just a walk. I have a fenced in backyard, two amazing labs who love other dogs, and a wife and daughter who love dogs as much as I do.

“Cailin was SO good with my little girl Kona. I was hesitant about using an app for something like this, but Cailin made it so easy! I was updated when she got there, during the visit, and when she left. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone!”
