About: I have taken a wide variety of dogs from a Chihuahua to a German shepherd. Neighbors and friends have relied on me to walk, feed, give medications and play with their dogs. I have also stayed overnight servers different times. This has given a wide variety of experience with different cares and types of dogs. I am currently looking for part time summer jobs. I am fairly flexible and could work a variety of days and hours. I am able to pick up jobs at a short notice. I have a two weeks I would not be able to work but am free the rest of the summer. I am not currently in an apartment that would not suite dogs. I am comfortable and have experience with pet care in the home. I would be able to stay or night or visit throughout the day. I can walk, play and crate dogs if needed.
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats! I have a car so I can drive as much as needed and I am responsible AND dependable. I am very flexible with time and days, multiple times a day if needed!

About: I've had a lifelong love for dogs and currently have two Irish Setters in the family, so I understand the energy, patience, and attention dogs of all ages need. I’m passionate about helping pet owners who may not have the time in their busy schedules to give their dogs the exercise and companionship they deserve. Whether it's a playful puppy or a senior dog needing a gentler pace, I provide caring, reliable support tailored to each dog's needs. I'm a sophomore at Indiana University Bloomington, and I'm home for the summer in southwest Fort Wayne with extra time on my hands. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine right now — I have a flexible schedule and plenty of energy to dedicate to walking, playing with, and caring for dogs. I care for pets by visiting them in their own home, where they feel most comfortable and secure. I make sure to follow any specific routines or instructions provided, whether that’s for feeding, playtime, or potty breaks. For dog walking, I prioritize safe, enjoyable walks tailored to each dog's energy level and needs, giving them the exercise, attention, and companionship they deserve.

“Healther - is very good and dependable.”
About: I grew up around dogs for the majority of my life. I have always been an animal lover and supporter of animal rights, and I would love to have a career in animal care. Dog-sitting will be wonderful for me and the animals. I have a 6-year-old pug named Winston that I love more than anything! He is the friendliest dog, and he would love to have new friends to visit and play with. I will do anything to ensure every dog is taken care of properly and enjoys its life to the fullest! In most cases, I like animals more than humans, just don't tell my husband! If you hire me to watch after your dog, you will not regret it. I am currently available for weekday doggy daycare, drop-in visits, and walks. I can also dog sit at my home during the weekdays and some weekends. I have a fenced-in yard for my pug and my cat. My animals are allowed on the couch and beds, but I will only allow your dog to get on the couch. If I watch your dog in your home, I will definitely follow your rules though.
About: Growing up I’ve always had a love for animals. We had a range of different pets, you ask and I probably had one! I have worked a few years in a grooming salon. Friends and family have made me the go to person to pet sit for them when it’s needed. I enjoy it every single time and can’t pass up the opportunity. I have three dogs and one cat of my own. “Be the person your dog thinks you are.” Pet care is my focus on a full-time career. Whatever needs you may want we can work something out to accommodate those needs. Available during the week anytime and occasional weekends, as pet care is my full time job! Every pet and client is different. You tell me your needs and wants and they will be implemented. Lots of love and belly rubs will be given to your fur baby. We will become best friends!
About: With over 10 years of animal care experience working as a veterinary technician and a boarding facility attendant I have experience with dogs of all ages and sizes. I have experience administering medication, flea/heartworm prevention as well as feeding/watering, taking them for walks and spending time with them in general. I’m seeking a part-time opportunity that combines my passion and experience in caring for animals. I’d be delighted to check in on your pets and, for dogs, provide enriching walks or visits to the dog park to keep them happy and active. While I’m unable to host dogs or cats in my home due to living in an apartment with my four beloved cats, I’m happy to care for small animals at my residence. For drop-in visits or dog walking, I’ll follow all provided instructions and stick to your pet’s routine to ensure they feel comfortable and secure. As a proud cat parent to four spoiled felines, I understand the importance of treating every pet with the utmost care and love.
