Dog Walkers in Oak Park, IN

About: I've been surrounded by dogs, cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, turtles, frogs and fish for 35+ years. I've raised, house-trained, walked, entertained and loved a variety of dogs and cats my entire life. I never get tired of these sweet creatures! I have experience with all dogs and cats, regardless of age, breed or temperament. As I'm now only working part-time providing early intervention services for children, and am self-employed, I have a great deal of flexibility to care for your dogs and cats. I'm available for drop-ins to feed, play with and care for your sweet pets as needed - throughout the day and night - as well as dog-walking, as it fits into your schedule. I've spent the last 20+ years working as a teacher and developmental therapist, educating children who have developmental delays and disabilities. Now, I've decided to focus additionally on my love of animals. Since I was a small child, I've adored pets, and have many years of experience caring for a variety of them. I'm very patient and appreciative of each animal's personality. I currently have 3 dogs and 3 cats of my own, and have used this service as a customer as well, so I can understand your point of view as "parents".

About: I took care of my 3 dogs for 10 years from when they were born and until they passed away. When I would train them I mainly focused on using positive reinforcement to let them know what is and isn't good for them. I'm currently a student and love to take walks around the parks ( a perfect place for a dog!) I also love to explore and be very active. When I took care of my dogs I made sure to always be in the same room as them so I can keep an eye on them to make sure they aren't getting into things that are dangerous for them

About: I have experience with pets and can groom walk and play with them. I am very good with pets I love them. I’m so excited! I am a college student and I am off school right now.

Also fun playtime with them

About: I offer dog walking services and dog sitting services 7 days a week. I am open to all times but have more availability in the afternoon and evening. I have taken care of dogs for family and friends since I was a teenager and have taken care of up to 5 dogs in a single household at one time. While I’m not a licensed as a trained I have taught family and friends dogs potty training, leash etiquette and few other skills. I currently work full time, but I don’t have a set work schedule. I can make arrangements throughout the day with advance notice. Also am available all day on the weekends. I currently live in an apartment so I can not currently bring pets to my home. I do have a toy poodle named Bentley who enjoys our walks, playtime and especially treats. I like to be outside with the pets, I enjoy taking them to dog parks, playing fetch and letting them run around. I feel that a dog needs time to exercise everyday and I believe they should socialize with people and other dogs.

About: I’ve had animals all my life! From energetic puppies to senior pets needing extra TLC. I've been pet sitting since I could drive, and caring for animals has always been second nature to me. Whether it’s daily walks, cuddle time, or keeping up with special diets or meds, I treat every pet like family. I have experience with dogs of all ages, including senior care. I'm reliable, attentive, and truly love what I do! Your pet’s comfort and happiness are my top priorities. As a student, I have a flexible schedule that works great for pet care. Mornings, evenings, and weekends are my most available times, but I can also include pet care during breaks in my day if we schedule in advance. Whether your pet needs a walk, some playtime, or overnight care, I’m happy to work around your routine to make sure they’re happy and well cared for. I live in a pet-friendly apartment with plenty of space for your furry friend to relax and feel at home. I love taking pets to nearby parks and nature trails for safe, fun walks and fresh air. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I focus on creating a calm, loving environment where they feel secure. I always follow any specific routines, feeding instructions, and safety guidelines to ensure your pet is happy, healthy, and well looked after.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my patience, reliability, and genuine love for animals. I take the time to get to know each pet’s unique personality and needs to make sure they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily and weekly routine because I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility and time to focus on caring for pets. I’m available for boarding on both weekdays and weekends after 12 p.m., and I always make sure each pet gets the attention, playtime, and care they need to feel comfortable and loved while you’re away. In my home, pets have plenty of space to play and relax. I have a fenced and spacious backyard that’s perfect for safe outdoor time, whether it’s running around, playing fetch, or just enjoying the fresh air. Inside, pets have a clean, cozy space where they can rest comfortably. I make sure they stick to their normal feeding and walking schedules to keep them happy and stress-free.

About: I have cared for dogs and cats since I was 12! I am constantly called upon by my friends and family to pet sit for them when they are away. I am currently unable to have a pet at the moment due to a demanding work schedule/roommates, but I love going to see my friends/families dogs and I honor the trust they put in me when I am asked to care for them. I love the animals in my life and I'll love yours, too!! This summer I am available very often due to my work schedule (I am a teacher on summer break- woohoo!) so I will be around to love on and care for your pets super frequently. I can care for pets daily! Due to having roommates will allergies, I unfortunately cannot open my home to pets. However, I have had pets in my own home since I was born and have independently cared for pets from the age of 12+. I play, feed/water, give attention to, bathe, walk, etc. all the animals in my life and have for quite a while.

In addition, I volunteer at my local animal shelter walking dogs. I love animals with all my heart and soul. They give me such life and their Innocence just brings out the best in me. I will take care of your pets as if they were my own because they are just so precious. I have trained several of my pet sitting jobs your basic skills such as sit, lay, roll over and more. They'll have such a good time with me . Can't wait to meet meet them!

“Jerome was so awesome! We had to reschedule a few times and he was very understanding and flexible. He kept us up to date with photos and texts during walks. I'd highly recommend him as a walker!!”
