Dog Walkers in River Ridge, IN

About: I've been surrounded by dogs, cats, guinea pigs, hamsters, turtles, frogs and fish for 35+ years. I've raised, house-trained, walked, entertained and loved a variety of dogs and cats my entire life. I never get tired of these sweet creatures! I have experience with all dogs and cats, regardless of age, breed or temperament. As I'm now only working part-time providing early intervention services for children, and am self-employed, I have a great deal of flexibility to care for your dogs and cats. I'm available for drop-ins to feed, play with and care for your sweet pets as needed - throughout the day and night - as well as dog-walking, as it fits into your schedule. I've spent the last 20+ years working as a teacher and developmental therapist, educating children who have developmental delays and disabilities. Now, I've decided to focus additionally on my love of animals. Since I was a small child, I've adored pets, and have many years of experience caring for a variety of them. I'm very patient and appreciative of each animal's personality. I currently have 3 dogs and 3 cats of my own, and have used this service as a customer as well, so I can understand your point of view as "parents".

About: Hi, I’m Rachel and I give lots of love to doggies out there! I love to run and walk dogs. I’ve raised 3 border collies and have grown a huge heart for any dog. My goal is to make you (the owner) not have to worry about making sure you dog needs to get walked or needs a potty break or even needs somewhere to stay while you are out of town! I am your girl and would love to take that pressure off you. I have a good sized back yard, am very active, and ready to love on your doggie! Contact me! I can’t wait to meet you and your adorable puppers!

About: I have owned and cared for animals for 40 years. I have been responsible for the daily care of dogs, horses, cats, and exotic birds as a horse groom and petsitter. I currently have 2 dogs and 2 senior cats of my own. I am currently working as a part time contractor doing software consulting work. My schedule is flexible and able to work around any pet care work I do.

About: I have always been a natural animal lover and genuinely enjoy spending time caring for pets of all kinds. I have regularly helped friends, family, and neighbors with pet sitting, drop-in visits, feeding, walking, and giving lots of attention and love while they’re away. I understand how important it is to feel confident leaving your pet with someone you trust. I pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and attentive to each pet’s unique needs and personality. Whether your pet is high-energy and loves long walks or prefers a calm environment and extra snuggles, I will make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I am happy to provide updates, photos, and consistent communication so you always have peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is to make your life easier and ensure your pet feels loved every step of the way. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to provide reliable care throughout the week. I’m available for morning, midday, evening, and weekend visits. I do my best to maintain your pet’s normal routine and can accommodate multiple check-ins per day if needed. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I know it takes trust to leave your pet in someone else’s care and I do not take that responsibility lightly. I take time to understand your pet’s routine, preferences, and any special instructions before care begins. During visits, I ensure doors are secure, food and water are refreshed, and the environment is kept clean. I provide a calm, low-stress environment and treat your home and pet with respect and care.
