Dog Walkers in Pine Village, IN

About: I am an animal science student with a concentration in animal behavior and wellbeing. In the agricultural community, I raised and showed an award winning rabbit. Last semester, I was an animal care intern at Columbian Park Zoo. I have nearly a decade experience working in pet care. In addition, my family fosters animals. I am seeking employment in pet care to fill my spare time with a furry companion. I have a flexible schedule in the morning and evening during the week. I am available Thursday-Sunday for weekend stays. When I was in third grade, my family opened our home to foster animals. Throughout the last 11 years, we have cared for animals with parvo, double ear infections, malnourishment, etc. The foster organization trusts us to nourish these animals back to health and prepare them for their forever homes. When I visit client homes, I spend quality time with animals providing them with enrichment. I pride myself on reliability, my clients trust and depend on me to care for their beloved pets. In addition to my experiences, my coursework focuses on animal behavior and wellbeing which helps enhance my services.

I will take whatever safety precautions are needed to ensure the animal is well taken care of.

About: I have always loved animals and have had almost every pet under the sun (fish, hermit crab, guinea-pigs, degus, horses, dogs, cats, etc.)! I have over 10 years of experience fostering from the Almost Home Humane Society taking care of puppies and cats/kittens, getting them healthier, bottle fed, up to weight, and/or socialized. I worked at Paw Prints Animal Hospital as a kennel assistant for 5 years taking care of boarded dogs and cats and the grooming facility.

I am flexible with time and am excited to take care of your pet(s)! I am a registered dietitian working as a consultant in the Lafayette area.

I have worked with many different breeds and personalities. I understand that every pet is different in how they like to be approached, cared for, or interacted with. I will be respectful of your instructions and requests in taking care of your animal, in your home.

“This was our first time using Rover. Beth was everything we could hope for. Our dog is pretty skittish, but Beth endeared herself to our anxious pup in no time. Beth communicated well, posted pictures, and did everything I asked of her. We highly recommend Beth and will definitely call on her again!”

About: I’m very detail oriented and treat your pet as my own. I’m great with timing and any medical needs. Your pet is in good hands I am currently in school, work part time at a gym, and have my own pets and my family/friends animals that I also take care of.

About: Ian and Mya have taken care of all sizes and types of dogs, including dogs with special needs and at various stages of potty training. We are former Purdue Cross Country and Track runners, and still maintain an active lifestyle, so we can go on as many walks or runs as you request. We train our labrador Sunny daily, and have received numerous feedback from friends on how well-trained she is, as well as how loved and cared for she is (she truly is our fur baby!). We like to treat other people’s pets like they are our own while they are with us, so if you are comfortable, we often like to give a complementary brush, bath, and nail trim:) Ian's schedule is flexible, working on a post-baccalaureate research project both virtually and in-person, while Mya works primarily from home as she finishes her graduate degree. We are grateful for our current flexibility to provide personalized, attentive care to Sunny, and any dog that we care for! Every morning we take Sunny out to use the bathroom first thing, and then we then quickly head inside for her to go to her "place", do a little bit of training, and then give her an "eat" command to eat her breakfast. We let breakfast settle for at least an hour while we eat and drink our coffee, before any walking for Sunny to eliminate the risk of bloat (which is a serious and prevalent issue for large dogs). While we work from home throughout the day, Sunny plays with her toys and naps. As it begins to cool off, we head out on a nice long off leash walk in the evening. We let Sunny out as needed throughout the day, and we normally spend some time walking around the Celery Bog during our work breaks, to watch the wildlife together. For dinner, we follow a similar routine as breakfast, but occasionally will use her dinner kibble for further training or rewards, such as nail trimmings, specific skill work, brushing, etc. We administer Sunny's daily medication at dinner, either on top of her food, or by safely placing the pill in the back of her mouth. After her last evening potty break, and before bed, Sunny loves to have at least 10-15 minutes of play time and focused attention for cuddling. Sunny is crate trained, but we also have a Furbo in our main living space, to ensure she is safe if we leave her to nap on the couch when we are gone. Your pup will follow a similar routine as Sunny, unless otherwise specified. We are happy to accomodate for you:)

About: I've taken care of all types of dogs and cats from all age ranges. I love animals, and I have been animal-sitting since I was around 12 years old, for about 7 years. The biggest skills I have are being able to spend extra time with the animals to make them feel loved while you are away. I am currently working part-time and attending school part-time during the summer. I am very available to take care of your animals during the morning, day, and evening. I like to spend between 15 and 30 minutes with the animals between visits to make them feel loved, so they are less stressed. I make sure they are well fed and exercised daily and are enjoying their time while you are away.

I have 2 young Siamese-mix cats and a Dalmatian puppy, who loves to meet new friends. For this reason, I would love to know ahead of time how your animal does with other pets, so that I can plan accordingly!

About: When I care for dogs, I enjoy being around dogs in all sizes and personalities! As well, as making sure they all receive the right amount of love and care!

I have an outdoor/indoor cat, and I also live in a very woodsy area so cleanliness is very important. I love to play outside or inside with animals and do already have good experience with cleaning litter boxes, food bowls, giving medicine, etc.

About: I’ve been obsessed with animals specifically dogs for as long as I can remember. I have raised 4 of my own for 10+ years. I have a large background raising animals and I am also a pre-vet student. I work part time as a health coach, so dog walking would be a great responsibility to have during my other free time. Being a health coach, I am also active and enjoy walking. I have a large yard that my dog runs in. If any dog is only leash trained that is no problem because I enjoy walking.

About: Hey! Excited to care for your adorable pup! I'm a loving dog owner myself, celebrating my own fur baby's first birthday recently. I adore dogs and would love a whole pack, but my husband isn't quite on board, so I'm here to shower love on your furry companion with lots of fun, walks, and their favorite treats guaranteed! FYI- I do have a fence now :) Currently, I have the wonderful advantage of being stationed at home with an ample amount of free time. This allows me the privilege to offer your beloved dog an abundance of care, undivided attention, and a warm, loving environment where their needs and happiness will be my top priority! I've got a sweet little Yorkie who's a social butterfly—loves meeting new doggy and kitty pals! We're lucky to have a big yard for all the playful antics and fur-friendly gatherings. Plus, there's this awesome park nearby, a perfect spot for long, relaxed walks with our furry buddies! 🐾

About: I have taken care of dogs from 8weeks old to 10 years old, and many breeds from small, Chihuahua size to big, great pyrenees. I used to foster cats, and have a cat of my own. Coworkers have even relied on me to feed outdoor animals while away, etc. I work part time, usually 5-6 days a week but gone for no more than 6 hours a day, and can go back to let out and walk on a lunch break. I am in school full time, but all my classes are online so it allows me to have complete free flexibility and not have to attend class in person. I always make sure pets are comfortable, if not more comfortable as me. Pets are a huge part of family’s. They are family members themselves. They deserve love and attention, and to be played with, and fed on a schedule, and exercise too. Also words of affirmation like “good boy” if they do something correct. And “bad boy” if wrong. I have never once hit an animal to show a sign of bad behavior, and think that is wrong.
