Dog Walkers in Retreat, IN

About: If you asked my friends and family to describe me, one of the first things they would say is that I am a huge animal lover! We currently do not have a dog of our own but we have cats and chickens. Growing up we had dogs, cats, hamsters, birds, and fish. I have been around animals and taking care of them for as long as I can remember! I teach online part time, so I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule. I would love to take care of your sweet fur babies and give them lots of cuddles and love! Feel free to message me with any other questions you may have! I have a very flexible schedule! I teach online part time and can make visits at any time during the day depending on your needs! I don't have a fenced in yard, but we do have an acre of property that I walk the dogs on and I walk them down to the neighborhood near us.

About: I have special needs pets at home that require require extra skills as well as patience. I have taken care of dogs, cats, fish, rabbits, and hamsters. I am also a certified veterinary technician, I cannot prescribe medicine or diagnose any conditions in your pet but I have an abundance of skills to make sure your pet is properly cared for in my presence. I also work during the day so care will be before work, during my lunch, and when I get off of work. I am willing to take care of any dog unless they are for some reason aggressive towards me, but I am still willing to meet them and try to become their friend. I am also willing to care for any feline. I am an animal lover and always have been and I will treat your furry kiddos as I would want all of mine treated ❤

About: Growing up surrounded by animals has shaped who I am as a caregiver. I had a cat and a bunny as a kid, and we always had at least two dogs at a time. Over the past year, my family has had six dogs, and I currently care for my own cat and golden retriever while also helping with my parents’ five other dogs. This constant hands-on experience with animals of all ages, sizes, and personalities truly sets me apart from other sitters. I understand animal behavior, routines, and comfort needs on a deeper level because it’s been my everyday life—not just an occasional responsibility. My care is calm, consistent, and patient, and I always treat pets with the same love and attention I give my own. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do; it’s something I genuinely value, and it would be a dream to care for someone else’s pets as if they were part of my family. Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine because my schedule is already flexible and structured around mornings. I work part-time at Starbucks on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays, mostly in the early hours, with only one additional Friday afternoon shift. I’m also a student, but I currently take just two classes, and my semester is almost over. Starting next semester, all my classes will be fully online, giving me even more availability throughout the day. This flexibility allows me to devote consistent time and attention to pets, making sure their walks, feeding times, and check-ins are never rushed. With so much open time in my schedule, I’m able to provide reliable, calm, and attentive care whenever it’s needed. I care for pets with the same calm, attentive routine whether they’re in my home or in a client’s home. In my own space, I make sure pets feel safe and comfortable by providing a clean environment, consistent feeding schedules, plenty of playtime, and lots of affection. I’m used to managing multiple animals at once, so keeping up with routines, energy levels, and comfort needs comes naturally to me. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and committed to maintaining the routines their pets are already used to—whether that means specific feeding instructions, preferred walk routes, or favorite playtime habits. I focus on creating a smooth, stress-free experience for both pets and owners by keeping things consistent, reliable, and tailored to each animal’s needs.

“Alli is great! She treated my baby like her own and I fully trusted her! She is my go-to from now on! Thank you Alli!!!”
