Dog Walkers in Ogden Dunes, IN

About: As someone who has grown up with pets of all shapes and sizes from dogs to even a pair of pet rats at one point, I have always loved animals and will take any opportunity to spend more time with them! I have a senior dog named Buddy and a cat named Maple and would love to pour the same love I give to them into your fur babies by playing with them, walking them, and attending to all of their needs. My childhood dog Buddy is also blind, elderly, and diabetic, so I have experience and am very understanding of pets that may need special accommodations and/or medication. Not only do I have experience with the many pets I’ve grown up with and taken care of, but I also have experience working in a pet store and boarding facility taking care of any animals you can imagine. I am currently home for the summer from college and have pretty flexible availability and would love to fill my time taking care of your pets! I promise to give your animals the same love and care I would give to my own pets. I’m excited to keep your pets happy and healthy by walking them, playing with them, snuggling with them, and giving them the undivided attention they deserve.

About: I’ve lived with a dog in my household for a large portion my life, first with our rat terrier rescue when I was growing up, and then with my college roommate’s Australian shepherd that we raised from a puppy. While I don’t currently have a pet of my own, I occasionally help care for friends pets and genuinely enjoy the opportunity to live vicariously through taking care of other people’s pets. I am self-employed and set my own schedule. My weekdays and weekends are both very open and flexible for walks, potty breaks, and play time. I like to have a detailed orientation to a pet’s environment and routine, as well as written instructions for care. The more I can get to know you and your pet(s), the smoother the process will be for everyone!

About: I have 19 years of experience with dog walking and pet sitting. I am also a veterinary pet groomer in a local veterinarians office. I have certification in pet first aid and safety. I make my own schedule to accommodate flexibility on many fronts. I look forward to building a plan that works with my clients. Thank you. Safety is a huge factor in helping animals whether they’re my own or someone else’s. I have a very soothing way with pets, (one of the main reasons I switched to grooming in a veterinarians office). Keeping a watchful eye in any environment is crucial to me.

“Melanie is prompt, reliable, and friendly. Our Cavapoo gets so excited when she is at the door, waiting to go out for a walk with her. We highly recommend her!”

“Alexis was absolutely fantastic taking care of my baby Luna! Luna is only 6 months old, has a lot of energy, is not fully trained and I'm sure was a handful for someone to walk in day-one and manage, But she did above and beyond. She brought toys and puzzles, made sure Luna was fed and properly walked. She updated me on how the walks went, when she arrived and left, told me about the other dogs Luna got to meet along the walks and seemed totally joyful and sincere about spending time with my sweet girl. I will be hiring Alexis over and over in the future!”

About: I have run my own business Holliewood Doo Doo Adventures for 10 years (here in Facebook..check me out). Started out as waste pick up and branched out from there as I got older and it provided flexibility with schedules Also myself and my family have worked with ABRA, Inc Rescue to help foster 3 Dogs to help give them love and Discipline and skills to be able to be adopted out. I enjoy providing the Love, Patience, Time needed for each animal as every personality and needs are different. Also, knowing that they are a part of our families and to help soothe them in the transition as well as fur parents when they need to leave Currently I am a College student and this fits into my schedule well and I have flexibility and that's why I love it. I am now off for the Summer and even though I go back in the fall I work around my online classes. I have 2 dogs of our own and a cat. Realizing they have individual needs and they love the safe space of their own home it is important to me to provide that care that you specifically may need for them. You know this and I have so many that suffer from Anxiety or Seniors that do better in their own homes. That is what I am here for...whether they require so many walks per day or snuggles or play time

“Julie was awesome and my pup looked forward to seeing Julie when it was time for her walk. I knew she was in good hands when she was so very excited to meet Julie. Thank you so very much!!!”

About: Hi there! I worked as kennel staff at an animal hospital for over a year before I moved to Nevada, and then I worked at both and animal hospital and a grooming salon during the two years I lived there! (I have since returned to Northwest Indiana!) I took care of both cats and dogs(of all breeds and disabilities) and helped medicate and treat them! I have owned pets all my life, both cats and dogs, and have been their primary caretakers. I am heavily passionate about animals! I currently have two dogs and four cats. I am 23 and have a driver's license. I love animals more than anything, and would do whatever it takes to make your pets feel happy and safe in my company! I am currently unemployed, so I have plenty of time to take care of other people's pets! I live in a household with other people, so I'm more than able to housesit, as well! I love to keep animals company, and I will do whatever I'm asked to do to take care of someone's pet. If said pet is undergoing training of any sort, I'm willing to make sure that training is implemented throughout the visit, walk, or stay. I absolutely love giving furbabies my attention and love, but will go at the pets pace. I won't force my affections on an anxious animal.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and genuinely enjoy caring for them. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me for years to check in on, feed, walk, and spend time with their pets while they’re away. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and have experience with larger breeds like Golden Retrievers, German Shepherds, and Leonbergers, so I’m confident handling bigger dogs as well. I’m patient, attentive, and make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are gone. My schedule is pretty flexible right now, so I’m able to do drop-ins, walks, and check-ins throughout the week. I’m reliable about sticking to feeding schedules, potty breaks, and making sure pets get attention and playtime while their owners are away. I always try to keep pets comfortable in their normal routine and environment. I follow the owner’s instructions closely for feeding, walks, medications, or anything specific the pet needs. I’m patient with animals and make sure they feel safe, calm, and well cared for while their family is gone.
