Dog Walking Polk

About: 🩷 I have been around dogs since I was very young! With that being said, I currently have one of my own and have watched many dogs and cats for friends and family! I absolutely love spending time with animals and making it a priority that they feel special and loved! Your animals will love me! 🩷 *SCHEDULE CHANGE* I am now working Monday-Friday 8AM-4:30PM. I am still available after work and all day on Saturdays & Sundays. Thank you so much! My dog is trained to stay in my yard and has free roam of the house. He is spoiled with treats, many toys, and so much love! I will provide your animals the careful attention they require to meet your unique demands.

About: I’m fortunate to have experience with a wide variety of animals thanks to my cousins, who have two cats, three dogs, a turtle, and a horse. I help care for their pets regularly, so I’m comfortable meeting the unique needs of animals of all kinds and treating each one like family. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I’m currently finishing up breast cancer treatment and have intentionally chosen pet sitting as my primary work. This gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I truly enjoy spending time with animals, and being able to provide reliable, loving care while I’m in this season of life has been incredibly rewarding. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent as possible. At my home, pets have access to a securely fenced backyard for supervised play, exercise, and potty breaks, along with plenty of attention, affection, and a comfortable place to relax. In a client’s home, I follow their pet’s established schedule for feeding, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any other care instructions. My goal is always to help pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away.

About: I've been caring for animals most of my life, from growing up with family dogs to being a dedicated cat owner for the past four years. Caring for pets has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and giving each animal the love and attention they deserve. Although I'm new to Rover, I'm committed to providing dependable, personalized care and treating every pet like they're part of my own family. I'll always follow your pet's routine, keep you updated with photos, and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I'm available Monday through Saturday during the morning and afternoon for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. I have a flexible part-time schedule, so I'm happy to work with your pet's routine whenever possible. Sundays are my day off, so I'm unavailable that day. When caring for your pet in your home, I'll follow their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. I'll make sure they have fresh food and water, plenty of playtime, walks (if needed), and lots of love and attention. I'll also keep your home tidy, clean up after your pet, and provide regular photo and text updates so you can have peace of mind while you're away. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, happy, and cared for in the place they know best.

About: My husband and I are very unique. We would have a farm if we could. We live in a smaller home, but have so much love between our pets and kids. I hope we can raise our 3 kids to love animals as much as we do. I have been a pet sitter for about 15 years, but grew up in a house of animals. My family's huge animal lovers. I have stayed for weeks at a time with families, dog walked, issued medicine to pets, and just simply stopped in to let them out and hang for a bit. We have had dogs and cats stay with us while families are on vacation and made it work perfectly. My kids knowing they are small, are great w the animals too. I am just excited to make your fur baby feel safe and loved while you're away. *Update: We just added bathing and nail clipping as an add on option! My husband's mom owned the Canine Clipper that was in business for over 30 years. He grew up as cheap labor for 15 years in the shop washing, drying and trimming nails of any cats and dogs that came. We do not offer grooming services as that is not in our wheelhouse. Have you pet come home feeling and smelling fresh! I just had our new baby born on August 8th this year. I have three boys that I am obsessed with. I love being a boy mama 💙 I am a personal trainer but have cut back on hours so I can hang w my kids while they are young. I sometimes forget about how I was a nanny for 10 years and a dog sitter for about 15. I would love to do my passion again knowing I have so much more free time at home. My 5 year old is in school all day, my 3 year old has preschool twice a week for 2 hrs, and my newborn just goes for the ride. I'm always home on the weekends, and during the week I'm always looking to do something-which I would love to show my kids how to treat animals. If your pet is not good w kids, I can also drop them off w their grandma for a bit. I always make it happen ❤️ She loves some grandson time. All our pets are spoiled because they are our family too. Our dogs have dog beds all around, even though they sleep on couches and beds w us. The cats have cat towers and toys and get the free range of the house. We used to have a nanny because I wanted someone here for the kids, but also the pets. It always made me feel better knowing someone would always be there for them too.

About: I have lots of animals and lots of love. I am great with all animals and even insects, reptiles and more. I am local to Crete, Illinois. I work a remote job, full-time job, so I am extremely flexible with your needs. I take care of my cats bright and early and throughout the day. I practice proper training, obedience, proper health care, lots of love and more. I use this application to provide services and also book services for my pets as well, so I expect my care provider to give the same top notch care for my fur babies.

About: I have owned and loved dogs my whole life. I treat them as people, each individually unique and deserving of all the love, cuddles and kisses. I do not work and I am very flexible between 8 am and 3 pm while my kids are all full time at school. I can give your pets the time and energy they deserve. I can follow any instructions given and make sure your pet has the best care. I have loved on animals my whole life and know the care each one deserves to have.

“Emalee saved the day! I was running late to get Goku out due to inclement weather and messaged Emalee at the last minute! Yay! She was able to cover his afternoon walk. Great job as always! Much appreciated!”

About: With 30 years of experience caring for pets, I specialize in providing personal care that honors your pet's exact routines. As an overnight stay veteran, I keep animals calm and secure in their own environment while minimizing separation anxiety.

I have a very flexible schedule this summer! Whether you need a drop in, dog walk, or require an overnight stay, I'm here to help! To give you complete peace of mind, I provide daily photo and text updates so you can see exactly how your pet is thriving. While staying in your home, I'm also happy to bring in the mail, take out the trash, and water your plants. This ensures your home stays secure and well-maintained while your pets enjoy their familiar daily routines.

About: I've taken care of my personal dogs and my cats over the years since I was 10. I've also cared for family pets, including babysitting, bathing, feeding, and caring for them. Ive even groomed my own dog. I do everything! I am currently on break, so I have loads of free time for your pet pals. They will be my top priority when they are in my care! Walks and sitting are enjoyable with me, I can train and easily keep it fun with your pet pals. I bathe, groom, and do so much more amongst other things!

About: I have experience caring for a variety of pets with different needs and routines. I have taken care of a 1-year-old cat along with 3 other adult cats, including a cat who required at least 30 minutes of playtime and interaction every day. I have also cared for a large dog who ate home-cooked soup mixed with his food at specific feeding times, as well as a husky who stayed in an air-conditioned dog house unit and required daily vitamins and attentive care. I am good at following direction for the desired care you and your pet need. I work remotely and any activities I plan I would plan around a schedule if at all with the pet in mind. I will plan in advance for the openings I have in my schedule to permit me to be with the pet. I typically stay in the pets home to create a less stressful environment for the pet and go about its daily routine as instructed by the pet owner. I will stay as long as required by the pet owner or stay in a guest bedroom all day depending on what makes the pet owner most comfortable with.

“Briana is Fantabulous! I have needed her several times last minute due to work commitments and she has been a lfe saver for Mooshu and I. I HIGHLY recommend her!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for my entire life. I’ve spent many years working at a vet clinic so I am comfortable with all animals. Friends and family have relied on me to watch their pets for many years. I currently have a very flexible work schedule, and can be available with advanced notice. My work can be done from anywhere so I am available most times. If I’m caring for a pet in a clients home, the first thing I want to do is spend some time letting the pet get to know me. They need to feel us out too!

About: My name is Danielle Zawistowski and I am 33 years old. I am a mama to my Jack Russell Terrier named Russell. I have done daily check-in visits, house sitting, walks, feeding, and oral/eye medication! I have prior work experience working at Humane Indiana and Griffith Animal Control. I do offer your fur baby a glamous spa day! I bathe, brush out, clip/file nails, clean ears, and trim up! I am currently working part-time as a Doordash and Instacart shopper. I am able to make my own schedule. Your animal will remain top priority at all times! Treat them as if they were my own! Show them kindness & patience, nurture & comfort. Daily exercise and activities are important! Provide enrichment activities if so.

About: Hello everyone! My name is Samantha, I am 26. I have helped at humane societies since I was 15. I have fostered, volunteered and transported every type of animal you can think of. These animals have had numerous different reasons they needed my help whether it being they were sick, injured or in an emergency situation. I would help with getting them healthy and get them ready to be adopted. I have had many dogs throughout my life therefore, I understand the time and care required for them. I will care for your beloved pet in your home or mine following all your wants and needs! I look forward to hearing from you all! I currently work from home therefore I can bring my work with me and cater to the pets schedule they are used to. I will follow the schedule the owner gives me and feed/ walk when they typically do. When I had a dog I would typically take my dog for 3-4 walks a day and I like to make sure at least one is around two miles so she gets a good workout in! I have a fenced in yard and my dog liked to lay out and I let her out back whenever she looks like she wants to go out as well. This is just the routine I've found makes my dog the happiest but l'm open to any schedules the dog I'm taking care of has!

“Tasha is very responsible and reliable. I appreciate her communication. She sends pics and I really like the map of the dogs walks. She is respectful of my requests and my home.”

About: I’ve been a pet owner since I was around 10 years old. Dogs, cats, parakeets, bunnies, guinea pigs and even ducks!. Currently have one dog living with me in my apartment. My dream is to own a house with a big backyard for my dog to enjoy. I’d also like to open a dog shelter in Peru and rescue as many dogs and cats as I can with the financial help of friends and family members. I’ve taken care of a couple dogs from the families I used to nanny for. I have excellent references. I work part time (roughly 25 hours) so my schedule is somewhat flexible. If booked in advanced (3 weeks or more) I can work around your pet’ s needs. I will treat your fur baby as if it was mine. The same way I’d like someone to watch my baby for when I’m away. I don’t mind the shedding hair, drool or even poop. It’s Pretty simple. I currently have the summer off. I live close to Meadow road and love going to the trails for long walks. I like to keep a routine when it comes to feeding and walk times. I also can rent in advanced a fenced in backyard for your pup to run off leash and no other dogs on site. Not every dog is the same, some love to sleep, play or keep it to themselves. I usually go for walks first, then play time. I will bring my computer if I need to work on my website or watch a show.

About: I worked full time for a shelter and loved working with every animal there. Meeting them at their level so that their needs were completely fulfilled was my passion. Whether they were high or low energy, dim or bright, friendly or not, I thrived on figuring out what would make the the most adoptable and what would make them most comfortable in the harsh shelter environment. It was a difficult and demanding job at times especially when I needed to provide first aid or medication/therapy for ailing animals but I always enjoyed coming home knowing I did something that meant something to those parent-less pets. I also had the lovely opportunity to work the social media for the shelter and take photos and videos of each animal to best display their personalities to the wider public who wouldn't normally see them otherwise. I currently work part time with very flexible hours so I am frequently available to provide service to both my own pets and others. I find it very fulfilling to be able to make time for my own furry friends! Working in a shelter environment I often met many animals at their lowest when they were beyond scared and upset. I got exposure to many dogs and cats that were horribly unadapted to life around people and had personalities on either end of the spectrum. I am more than comfortable with animals that are more aggressive in both appearance and personality and was frequently tasked with retrieving abandoned or lost animals using the company van.
