Dog Sitting in Muncie

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life. I have a Great Pyrenees mix and Golden Retriever at home. In high school I helped train the golden retriever. This past year I have also been dog sitting an enthusiastic and energetic Australian Shepard. At my college house, I have also been helping train a one year old Golden Retriever puppy. I really enjoy running in my free time so I would be happy to run or walk your dog! I recently just graduated from Ball State University and am now in my first year of medical school. I currently have no other commitments outside of pet sitting and studying hard for school! I would care for your pet like my own! I would love to play with you pet if they are high energy or just chill and hang out with your pet inside if they just want company. I also love to be outside so I would be happy to go on walks or runs with your pet.

About: I have adopted several dogs from shelters over the years; all being larger breeds like German shepherds / shepherd mix as well as being both elderly and special needs dogs. This means I have experience in giving dogs medication, and giving them extra attention for any needs they may need. While they have been elderly that didn’t impair them for going out on long walks, or being large strong dogs; making me confident in my ability to safely walk almost any dog outdoors. While I've done a lot of stuff with older dogs that doesn't stop me from being able to keep up with a young energetic pup either! I have also helped out several friends with pet sitting their dogs many times. This has also given me experience in dealing with nervous / anxious dogs and their needs. I work a job that allows me to work from my (or your) home on most days and have no other set obligations. I do not have a job that comes with surprise emergencies, so once I agree to a time, I will be able to make it. You know how to take care of your pet, it's my job to imitate that while you are gone so they can feel safe or less anxious while you are away. With my experience with shelter adoptions, I understand that some pets may need special care and feel up to most such challenges. Honesty is my policy. While I don’t expect it, if there is something I am uncomfortable with, a task or sadly your pet and I aren’t compatible, I'd clearly say so at our first meeting allowing you the time to search for other options.

About: Hello! My name is John my best friend is Shaggy, we welcome pets into our home! I work from home a lot so your pet is well cared for. I have a fenced yard and on nice days I open the patio doors so that they can go in and out as they please I know Shaggy loves that freedom to go outside any time and then come back in for shade, water and of course a nap. Overnight stay dogs get their own climatized room. Cats can protect the rest of the house (Doggie vacation from all the protection they know is their responsibility) We have a convenient location near BSU that's great for dog walks. 30 minute walks are available in my area at just .50 cents per minute and that includes waste removal, what a deal! Day care is awesome never again will your dog be bored at home alone. Tails are always wagging here! Book your stay or schedule a walk around the famous BSU duck pond for your fur babies. Rest assured they will be taken care of, I've loved dogs and cats for many, many years. I am currently semi-retired so I have plenty of time to care for your fur babies. I always go outside with the pets so your pets are never left alone. I have a fenced yard attached to the backyard of my house with a privacy fence facing the road and a doggy portal so your doggy can see dog walkers at the roadside. (See photos)

About: I’ve taken care of all sorts of animals since I was a child. Beyond my own pets, I worked as an animal caretaker and cared for pets of varying ages and abilities. I’ve even given medicine to a baby chameleon! I’m a teacher on summer break, so I have plenty of time to play with your pets! I will be on break until August. I have my own sweet dog that loves other dogs, but if yours needs walked alone, that’s okay too. I have always had pets of all kinds and I worked at petsmart as the animal caretaker, so I have experience with traditional pets as well as reptiles, birds, fish, etc.

About: I have pet sit for many years. I love meeting new animals. I enjoy pet sitting because as a social worker I am able to come home to an animal and sent time with them. Animals are the way I cope. I have plenty of time to play with animals in the evenings and weekends. My schedule is very open for this and I am excited to have this opportunity I will ensure to keep everything the way I found it or even better. I know animals do best in their own environment so I have no problem being in other peoples homes. I show respect.

About: Experienced in caring for dogs from bottle fed newborns to extra needs seniors. I’ve lived on farms for a number of years and have a lot of hands on experience with an array of animals all ages and litters. Also experienced in basic positive feedback training and/or just giving your animal the love and care they deserve! I work from home so am basically available all day everyday. I can provide 24/7 care to your pet in the ways that are most comfortable for you i.e how frequently you want potty breaks to be done, feeding times, any training you want them to keep up with ect. I have a big fenced yard and two sweet dogs to keep your pet company! I can also easily crate your pet if and when you feel comfortable or keep them out and playing all day!

“Heidi was great with our cat and kept us updated on how each drop in visit went, including several pictures. We would love to have her back to play with him again the next time we are out of town.”

About: I grew up with at least always one dog in childhood home and was one of the few, if not only, kid on the street that parents and neighbors would ask to not only watch their kids but also take care of their fur (etc.) babies . Cats and dogs, rabbits and guinea pigs, snakes, lizards and birds are all animals at one point or another I have cared for. I also believe every breed and age of dog or cat deserves as much love and care any any other breed or aged pet! I love the outdoors, including days that arnt sunny and bright, and would love to play and entertain your beloved animal while also making sure all their needs are meet. Home with time to share with your family pets! I try to give ample notification if any changes occur. I am usually very responsive to texting, more so when I am caring for someone's beloved pet. If a client would like to keep their pets stress levels lower while they are on their vacation by having me come take care of their pet at their own territory that is great! I will always take time to play, pet, clean up after and or feed your pet if that is the service you require. Dog walks usually wont end unless the animal has relieved itself (individual pet dependent) and they are smiling those big goofy doggo smiles. My previous occupation had me perform security so I understand the importance of people needing to feel safe and secure in letting someone into their home while its unattended. Please feel free to ask me any types of questions and feel confident that none of your information will be shared/copied etc in any way in addition to the sites our background check.

About: I’ve had dogs since I was 6 years old, and love going on walks and spending quality with pups. Over the years, I’ve pet sat for both young puppies and sweet senior dogs who need a little extra TLC. My goal is to make sure your furry friend feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I'm currently home full-time, so I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give your pup all of the love and care they need! While I don’t have a fenced yard, all outdoor time is supervised - either on walks or a secure lead. I will follow your pet’s routine for feeding, walks, play, and rest, making sure they are safe, happy, and loved. Whether at my home or yours, I treat every pet like family and keep you updated throughout the stay!

“AMAZING JOB!!! gave me updates and pics and took great care of Ava”

About: I’ve been around pets my whole life, either in my own household or my friends! I’ve always enjoyed having a relationship with pets and have a deep love for all animals. Communication with owners and attention to any specific details regarding the pets is something that I feel is my specialty! I also am very flexible and willing to accommodate my plans for the sake of the owner. I currently am a college student at Ball State University and in my senior year. My class load this year is relatively light and looking for some part time work. Besides class and studying I am flexible almost every day. I currently don’t have any pets in my home but one thing I always try to make sure to achieve when meeting new pets in a new environment is to be friendly and don’t be shy or scared when meeting the pets for the first time! Treat them like you’ve been friends for years even though you just met them!

About: Growing up with pets I always had an appreciation for animals and a genuine love. When I started college, I knew I did not want to have a pet of my own until I could provide the emotional, financial, and physical care for the pet. I started dog sitting during my undergrad when one of my professors needed helping caring for her coonhound. From there, I fell in love with dog sitting and was really able to expand my network with working with smaller dogs, cats, and larger dogs. I believe that the animal needs to be put first, so I will always ensure that I will come stay in house, administer medicine, and exercise pets to their needs. I always communicate with clients and will send as many photos as you wish. Believe it or not, I once sent my first dog sitter over 200 photos of her dog while she was gone for a week and yes, I still have those photos on my phone. The pet and owner will always come first I work a full time job but my job does not demand working past 5 so I can always ensure I will be there after work hours. My job is flexible and I live close to home. I am free most weekends and week nights and always prefer staying in house at the clients. I believe it more comfortable for both parties. I always follow what the client requests. I live in an apartment complex but it is spacious and located in downtown so I have access to trials and parks to walk pets. I feel comfortable putting pets in my car and always driving with caution.

“Holly is a wonderful pet minder. She is 100% dependable and takes great care of the animals in her charge. She goes the extra mile to give time for attention and play. I’ll definitely request her again.”

About: I have grown up with a love for animals and am currently in college to become a Veterinarian. I have grown up around all sorts of pets which includes cats and dogs. I have been dog sitting/ house sitting for around 5 years now and currently work at a boarding kennel. I take care of all different types of dogs throughout the day which involves playtime, going outside, bathing them, along with feeding them and giving out medication. I just really love animals! I’m currently going to college so I’m available outside of my class time. My class times do vary throughout the week but I have a large range of availability. I am super flexible and have a lot of free time! In a clients home I usually am provided with the information on a pets feeding schedule and the do’s and don’ts. I will provide your pet with a lot of love and care and make sure they are taken care of. I make sure they aren’t alone and get lots of time to run or just take a nap!

About: I have the freedom to go anywhere needed with the ability to drive. I can also take care of the pets special needs such as giving medicine. I enjoy walking and playing. My little dog has a big dog attitude, so when she gets aggressive I know how to handle her, and keep a safe distance not letting anyone get hurt. I am a full time student at BGSU, and living on campus. I can do check ins during the weekdays, and I am able to stay overnight if needed at anytime. On the weekends I should be available at anytime and stay for however long is needed. I have a fenced in backyard, and a small dog that goes through the doggy door. I am always available to open the door to let your pet out at anytime. I walk my dog around the neighborhood 3 or more times around the week at least.

“Robert is great with my dogs. They adore him! He’s patient when feeding them and calms them when they are anxious.”

About: I have always had pets growing up. Mostly Cats. I also really enjoy walking. I walk my dog, Charlee a lot and she would love a friendly walking buddy. If I have to walk your dog alone that’s fine, just let me know! :) I’m currently working part-time so, I will have plenty have time to walk and care for your pets! I am free every day except for Wednesdays. I can keep your pets company or entertain your dog by walking and playing with them. No Animals can stay in my home, but I am okay with staying in your home! I would take care of your home and your pets just like they were my own. I am a honest trustworthy person. I care about everyone and their animals! :)

About: I have grown up with pets my entire life! I love meeting new furry friends. I have experience with taking care of senior dogs (I had a pug who lived to be 13!). I also have experience with puppies and younger pets. I have no other job at this time, so your lil critters will be one of my main priorities! I have a pretty flexible schedule. I am good at adapting to a pet’s needs. High energy animals are not a problem for me—I have experience with calming them. Making sure your pet trusts me will be one of my main priorities.

About: I have owned 3 dogs myself. 1 in the past & 2 currently. I do all training & grooming myself. I also have been offering these services for awhile so I am experienced at working with a wide variety of dogs. I am an entrepreneur. I currently do grooming & training services on the side already. I love working with dogs in any way, shape or form. I have lots of flexibility for dates/times. My dogs both have kennels & are well trained with them. I would prefer your baby has one as well (I also have extras to use). They will be let out for potty/play breaks a minimum of every 2 hours in the yard with privacy fences. They will also have fresh water available at all times & snacks as needed.
