Dog Walking in Mishawaka

“Emily was a really great dog walker for our dog, during a week we couldn't do it - she was reliable and flexible and our dog walked very happily with her every time. We'd 100% recommend her.”

About: Ive never been able to have a dog of my own, so ive spent my time growing up caring for others. Ive been dog sitting since I was little. My first official job was at a dog hotel, I worked there for a little over 2 years! I also worked for a dog walking / pet sitting company! I’m currently in classes online so I have tons of time to take care of your fur-babies! I am very available for anytime you may need a sitter! I will follow directions provided for each service. I have years of experience and know how to handle any situation given to me to ensure the safety of your pet!

About: I love hanging out with dogs and getting to know them. I love playing and walking with them and I have a lot of experience doing so. I have been dog sitting for about 4 years now for my families friends and I have taken care of elder dogs and puppies and dogs that have needed to take medication. I do have experience with 100+ pound dogs that pull on the leashes. If you do need me to walk a bigger dog, please tell me what the dog will react to so I can be prepared to walk them. If there are two bigger dogs, I will not book until I know if they are reactive to anything. I am also able to take care of other small animals like amphibians, reptiles, fish, and even farm animals. If you do have farm animals, I do require a meet and greet. i can always take care of your dog after 10am throughout the week and anytime on the weekends. I can also take your dog to a local park or path and walk then there! I will typically go to copus, central park, or east race but whatever is closest I will go to. If you have a recommended place for me to go, I will go there. This will typically take an hour and that includes the drive there and back. This service costs 40 dollars. At my own home, I make sure my pets have a very stimulating environment and I try to play with them as much as a can. I will do the same with your friends. I am also available to water plants, take in the mail, and do other house activities if I am doing a drop in visit only. Just let me know ahead or time or leave me a note, and I will make sure to get the chores done.

About: I’ve had dogs for over 10 years, especially small dogs, as well as cats for the last three. I enjoy taking care of all creatures, great and small, and I live in a neighborhood perfect for walking. I do have a standard 9 to 5 jobs, but they are OK with pets in the building. I am easily able to take them outside for potty break. I do have a preteen daughter (10) that will be with me over the weekends, please let me know ahead of time if I need to make arrangements. I have a neighborhood with only one entrance before cars, and is extremely safe. It is the perfect area to go for a walk. There is an open space in the middle of the neighborhood. Great for playing fetch. Neighborhood only has one entrance for cars, and is extremely safe. It is the perfect area to go for a walk. There is a open space in the middle of the neighborhood.

About: Whether it be dogs, cats, horses, cows, or any animal in-between, I've been raised around animals all of my life. I've had a dog that I've cared for on my own since I was nine years old and couldn't imagine my life without one. With over 15 years of pet care experience, I'm more than comfortable handling your pet from the puppy/kitten stage to their golden senior years, and have experience with medication administration and special care attention. I currently have a three year old Australian Shepherd of my own, and so have no issue handling dogs with a stronger need for mental stimulation and exercise. Whether it be a simple check-in at the home, to a walk around the neighborhood, to taking your dog to the local park or joining me on a run, I'm happy to ensure that we keep your dog to the schedule he/she prefers at your comfort level! If you happen to have a feline friend instead, I have several years experience babysitting for the neighborhood and college friends' cats, and am more than happy to watch over your fur baby while you're away.

About: Hi there! I’m Brian, and along with my 17-year-old daughter Natalie, we’re a dog-loving duo offering reliable, affectionate care for your pets. We share our home with our sweet English Pointer, Cassie, and four cats, Luna, Willow, and Evie, and bring over two decades of pet experience to every walk, visit, or stay. I’ve had dogs and cats for 24 years, including two other English Pointers, so I know how important it is to find someone you trust with your furry family member. Natalie and I are both gentle, patient, and love getting to know each animal’s unique personality. Whether your pet needs an energetic walk, calm companionship, or just a little extra TLC, we’re here to help. We are happy to do meet-and-greets ahead of time to make sure everyone is comfortable. We can accommodate a variety of needs and we’ll always keep you updated with messages and pictures so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. I work from home with a pretty flexible schedule and Natalie is a student at Penn with free time on weekends and evenings. We will not show ourselves as available if we are not. I care for my dog, Cassie, who is an active English Pointer, by taking her to the dog park, spending time on the couch with her, and giving her lots of love. Natalie cares for her cats by making sure they are stimulated and have lots of treats.

“Taylor is great!”

About: I grew up in a veterinary family! Does your dog require grooming daily, pills, insulin, or even daily runs? Perfect! I aim to be available for all dogs even ones with special needs!

About: Because tails wag and whiskers twitch when they’re happy! Hi, I’m Lilian — proud dog mom, cat mom, and lifelong animal enthusiast! For 46 years, I’ve had a house full of paws, fur, and unconditional love. Whether it’s belly rubs, playtime zoomies, or gentle lap cuddles, I make sure every pet feels right at home (even if they’re not in theirs!). Your fur baby will get the VIP (Very Important Pet) treatment every time. Caring for pets is second nature to me. I plan my days around feeding, walks, playtime, and cuddles — just like I’ve done for my own dogs and cats for 46 years. In my home, I provide a safe, cozy, and calm environment where pets can relax, play, and stick to their normal routine. I make sure they get the right mix of exercise, mental stimulation, and affection — plus plenty of snuggles. In a client’s home, I follow your instructions carefully so your pet feels secure and comfortable in their familiar space. I respect your home, keep everything tidy, and give you regular updates with photos so you know your furry friend is happy and cared for.

About: I work at kryder kritter hotel in granger and I have numerous years of experience with all types of animals. I’ve always been a big animal lover no matter what it is! I have experience with all ages of dogs/cats! Pet care normally fits right in with my work schedule! I work at Kryder Kritter Hotel (boarding/daycare facility) and I typically only work 6-7 hours a day. I can walk dogs before/after work and when I’m doing overnights I’m there unless I’m at work! In my clients home I can either do drop-ins or overnights!

About: Hello, my name’s Anna. I have been taking care of dogs since I was 18. My family recently got a golden doodle several years ago and he has definitely been a joy and a task. Having a dog such as mine has made me more comfortable in my dog caring skills and fairly knowledgeable about what needs dogs have. I’m also very well equipped to handle puppies as I recently got a cocker spaniel several months ago. But given that, my passion for dogs continues to grow. I work full time but like to stay active and adding furry friends to the mix on my days off is no big task. I would love to see more dog friends and help them socialize and make someone’s life easier. I don’t have a fenced in back yard, but I am capable of taking dogs on as many walks as needed. I am also capable of putting dogs in a crate and preparing them for crating as long as needed.

“I can't recommend Kim enough. She obviously loves dogs is very reliable and kept me informed often.”

About: I know I’d only want the best for my fur babies, so I plan to be that for your pets needs. I have many years of dog obedience classes with two different (sometimes opposite) dogs. I love getting to know the different needs of each dog. They are all individual. I’ve grown up with many animals. I’ve dog sat before and been expected to administer various kinds of medication. I am not a behavior expert. I do have experience dealing with difficult behaviors and will carry out any request you have for training that I am able. Training alignment is important to me. And less confusing for your fur baby I currently have one dog who is very well socialized. Play dates are an option. I look forward to meeting your furry friend! I am a teacher looking for summer work. I also work with dogs on the side. I have lots of experience working with all breeds of dogs. Each dog or pet has their own needs and personality. My own dogs need different feeding schedules and training. I know how to differentiate and listen to a pet’s needs.

“Kennedy was responsive and helped us out with little lead time. She followed instructions well and was pleasant to work with.”

About: I’ve owned dogs & cats all my life. I absolutely adore fur babies and can’t get enough of them. I have 2 cats of my own as well! I currently am working full time . With Wednesday and Saturdays off. I am available to stay at pet owners home if dog sitting . I am also able to check in on cats everyday as well. If pet owner lives close (within 5-10min) to my work I am able to let dogs out during my work lunch hour. I am also willing to be flexible as well if I have time in advance to try and work something out with my schedule at work! When I pet sit, I make sure dogs/cats have enough food water and toys. I enjoy playing with the animals as well as making sure I am doing the required tasks the owner has asked. I clean my cats litter box daily and when sitting for dogs I make sure I take dogs out multiple times or when Owener ask. I also love going on walks with dogs!

About: I’ve taken care of family members’ pets since I was about 13. However, in the last 3 years I’ve built up my client list and have 4 consistent customers whose dogs, cats, and parrots I watch for days at a time. I’m trusted with house keys to watch their animals, feed them at specific times, administer needed medications at specific times, take them for walks, and give lots of love and attention. I’m currently working full time (9-5) in downtown Chicago. I live in Uptown, and would love to make some extra cash on the side doing something I really enjoy - walking dogs! My availability M-F is any time after 6. On the weekends I’m very flexible and open to anything. Unfortunately, at this time in my life I will not be providing home boarding, crating, or pet-sitting services at my own personal residence. Sorry for the inconvenience.

About: I love being a pet sitter because I’m just so passionate about dogs (and all other animals too)! Nothing makes me happier than spending time getting to know them and caring for them, so being a sitter really is a dream come true for me. Dedicating my time to keeping them safe, happy, and healthy is always a rewarding experience. Dogs bring so much joy and happiness to our lives, and I love contributing to that, being part of their lives, and giving back all the love they give us! I have years of experience of professional pet sitting/boarding/dog walking in addition to volunteering at various animal shelters. I’m well-versed in obedience and leash training, and am a skilled practitioner of positive reinforcement methods. I enjoy walking a variety of dogs - all breeds, ages, temperaments, personalities, shapes, and sizes - to continuously learn about, and deepen my understanding of canine behavior. I'm also well acquainted with the gamut of leashes, collars, and harnesses out there, and have experience leash training dogs of all ages. On walks, we will bond, learn, communicate, exercise, explore, and always have lots of fun! I always like to schedule a meet-and-greet when taking on a new client, because it’s a great opportunity for us to meet and make sure we are all a good fit for one another. When I meet a dog for the first time, I bring treats (always being mindful to check with the owner about allergies first, of course). Reading the dog’s body language and behavior, I adapt to whatever makes them most comfortable, communicating that I’m happy to be the new best friend! I like getting as much information on each canine client before caring for them – anything and everything from what they love to do, what their favorite toy is, to dietary needs/restrictions and overall personality. The more I know, the better! I don’t prefer any breed preferences; I love them all! During our time together, I treat every pet as if they were my own. Providing high-quality care fueled by my love for animals is the name of my game, so I take to heart the responsibility of keeping pets happy and healthy. I pride myself on providing loving, patient, and professional care that caters to each dog's unique personality, specific needs, and favorite activities. Establishing meaningful relationships with owners and pets, rooted in trust, respect and understanding, is at the heart of my pet care approach. I always aim to give high-quality care, and look forward to providing the best experience imaginable! I’ll always be available if you ever have to get in touch with me for any reason before, during, or after a stay, and I’ll make sure you’re kept up to date on every important detail as well. I love sending owners pictures of their pups having fun, so you can definitely look forward to that as well!
