About: Big walks, slow strolls, and plenty of sniff breaks—I meet dogs where they’re at and make every walk a good one. Your dog gets care like they’re my own. I take tons of photos and videos along the way! I work remotely so I am always home and available to help your pet get the attention they need and deserve. Next to Chestnut Hills Golf Course, there are plenty of nearby walks and good smells. I live in Fort Wayne and I am happy to visit your location With two dogs of my own, I have a fenced yard, many toys, and access to good walks and hikes. Pet care can easily join into my current routine with my pets, or be tailored to the pet's needs. While my dogs love to play, they can be kept separated or eased into our routine (for boarding/day-care). I am especially good with high energy dogs and puppies. For walks, I love to get outdoors with the casual sniffers, the runners, and even the leash-pullers. I have lots of equipment I can share if needed (spring leashes, running harnesses for larger dogs, retractable leashes and more).

“Lisa was really good with Jaxon, he is shy around strangers. It took him about 10 minutes and he was all over her. She was a breath of fresh air and very patient. Love her!”
About: Animals have always had a special place in my heart. Growing up on a farm, I was surrounded by creatures big and small—everything from conures to bison. From an early age, I learned not just how to care for animals, but how to truly respect them. That foundation deepened over the years into a lifelong appreciation for the bond we share with our animal companions. Adopting my dog Uschi was life-changing—she taught me about unconditional love, loyal companionship, and even nudged me toward a healthier lifestyle. That experience reinforced my commitment to providing pets with the same love and care I give my own. I understand how important it is to feel confident when leaving your pet in someone else’s care. That’s why I prioritize consistency, comfort, and safety. I’ll follow your pet’s routine closely, respect any dietary needs, and make sure they feel calm and cared for every step of the way. I can’t wait to run, play, and give your sweet baby the love they deserve! I currently work remote at my own pace, so I have full availability any time of day, morning or over night. Complete flexibility to your schedule. My overnight stays are flexible and can be tailored to your pet’s specific needs. I’m happy to take care of small home tasks like bringing in the mail or taking out the trash—just let me know what you'd like. We can also go over feeding schedules, walk routines, and note any areas that are off-limits to ensure everything runs smoothly. I understand that separation anxiety is common, and I approach each visit with patience, empathy, and a calming presence. Your pet’s comfort and emotional well-being are my top priority, and I’ll make sure they feel safe, seen, and cared for in your absence. I’m also very mindful of pet nutrition—no treats or dietary changes will be made without your clear consent. I’m available for a wide range of time frames and am happy to adapt to your pet’s rhythm and routine, providing consistency, comfort, and a little extra love while you're away.

“We are so grateful for Emma’s services this week! She’s been 100% reliable and great about communicating with us this week when we needed a dog walker for our spunky golden doodle. Emma always gave a thorough report of her time with Suki and when we had to change plans at the last minute due to unexpected snow days, she immediately got back to us to make the necessary changes. 5 stars for Emma! We will definitely call on her again.”

About: I've taken care of pets almost my entire life, the majority that I have taken care of are cats and dogs. I always make sure they get what they need such as food, water, exercise, play time, and attention. I always make sure that I take care of and treat them the way I treat my own. I am currently gaining a bachelor's degree in animal health and behavior. So I do know what to expect when it comes to a different variety of animals and their behaviors. Your pets are in safe hands. Pet care is an important part of my daily routine, and I plan my schedule around each booking. I make sure pets receive consistent care, attention, and time, and I always follow their established routine to keep them comfortable. When caring for a pet in a client’s home, I prioritize respecting their space and belongings. I only use items related to pet care and follow all household guidelines provided by the client. I always clean up after both myself and the pet, and I take pride in maintaining a clean, organized environment. Clients can feel confident knowing their home will be well cared for and left in excellent condition.
About: I have been taking care of pets, mainly dogs and cats for as long as I can remember! I grew up with dogs and would take care of my neighbors animals when they went on vacation. I would also take my neighbors dogs on walks and do drop in visits if they got stuck at work or had other obligations. I work from home remotely so you can have the peace of mind that your pet wont be left unsupervised for long periods of time. The way I care for pets in the clients home is ensure I arrive on time to guarantee your pet gets the exact amount of care and attention scheduled. Every drop in I follow a strict checklist to ensure comprehensive care. My rough checklist for Drop Ins/Walks: -Immediate outdoor break with exercise -Feeding and fresh water and if needed, administer medications. -Clean up litter boxes if taking care of cats and cleaning up any possible accidents -Affection and more playtime and mental stimulation for higher energy dogs/cats. -Any other requests just ask & I will fit those into my checklist Once I leave your home I triple check to make sure your pet is secure, all windows, and doors are locked. I treat your home as its mine when I'm leaving so you never have to worry about your home being secured.
About: When I was in middle school, I regularly took care of my neighbor's 2 dachshunds when she would leave town. I have experience with older dogs. My cousins have me watch their dogs whenever they are out of town. One of their elderly dogs needed carried down the stairs to go outside. My sister has me take in her 9 year old doggo every time she is out of town. My mini poodle loves walks, and he required a lot of training to get used to the leash. He is a rescue, and he is amazing after a year and a half of getting used to his quirks and having to re-train him on pretty much everything since he was kept in a cage for the majority of his life until we adopted him. I am a returning student to PFW, and I am currently only working weekends. I am available to walk your dog during the week before, between, or after classes. Our dog does not leave the yard, but I have a tie-out in my backyard for when my sister's dog stays with us. Our yard is not completely enclosed, so if I am watching your dog at my house, they would need to be comfortable on a lead. If I am watching your dog at your house, whatever setup you have is fine by me! Whatever your dog is used to is going to be more comfortable for them.
