Dog Walkers in Riverwood, IN

“Leslie has been wonderful! She treats our fur baby like her own. She has been walking her for us 2-3 times a day for a few months now and K absolutely loves her. Leslie is like a member of the family now and is so kind and flexible with our changing schedule. We truly appreciate how caring and loving she is with K and would highly recommend her services!”

About: I have worked in kennels and dog daycares. I’ve worked with dogs big and small, old and young. I can follow any strict diets, routines, and even give medication. I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and have done pet-sitting for friends and family on top of my work experience! As of right now I have a pretty open availability! I can do any week day and even some weekends! For any questions you have on my availability, feel free to reach out, I’m pretty flexible! I care for pets by paying close attention to their behavior and figuring out their needs. I can notice if behavior is slightly changing. I make sure to keep a clean environment and keep up on their necessities!

About: I’ve worked with dogs since I was 15. I’ve worked at a vet hospital and dog daycare. Family and friends have relied on me to walk, feed and play with their pets. I currently don’t have a job. I can work from 9am-6pm on weekdays.I can work anytime on the weekends. Holidays are no problem for me. I have a fenced in yard and my beautiful dog that can keep your fur baby and play all day. I have a crate that I can put your dog in if needed.

About: I have owned dogs my entire life, including breeds ranging from Bichons to Newfoundlands! I truly love spending time with dogs, so your pet family members will be in loving and capable hands. We have a standard golden doodle dog and three small children, so any pets would need to be dog and kid friendly. This is also why I currently focus more on drop ins and dog walks at this season in our lives. My Home: It is a safe, nice haven for pets and full of love. It is clean, organized, smoke free, and stress free. I am a stay at home mom, so we are accessible and available and dogs receive lots of cuddles and walks. My husband also works from home certain days of the week, so there are times your pet is never left alone. On weekends our schedule is very flexible! Our neighborhood is dog friendly and walkable. We even have a dog crate and extra bowls if you don’t want to lug your items around. We also have 3 little ones at home, and our beloved doodle dog, but we are open to welcoming the right dogs into our home who are a good fit with that environment. I am happy to drop in and walk dogs - I also used to ride horses, so a big dog on a leash is no problem at all, I love all sizes. Many blessings to you and thanks for reading and for your consideration. I am a stay at home mom - I love learning about and seeing different dog breeds and this is a way for me to have a little hobby and earn extra for our family. I have small children so we are flexible as they and the dogs are priority and I’m home and around with them all hours of the day. I can be trusted to keep animals loved and secure whether it is entering your home or welcoming your pet into mine. I practice respect and confidentiality and take your trust in me seriously.

“She is awesome:) I highly recommend.”

About: I took care of a neighbors dog for the first time at age 11. Since I’ve been relied on by those same neighbors, and others, along with friends, family, and coworkers who are out of town. I have lots of patience for shy dogs who need a little extra love and have worked with dogs of different breeds and sizes. I don’t have much experience with young pups (1 or younger) but I do have experience with older dogs. I’m also experienced in giving medicine, feeding, and safety for dogs. Currently I am out of school and work as a part time host, meaning I have lots of extra time to hang out with pups and cats! My shortest shifts are 5 hours and my longest shift is about 8 hours but those are few and far between. Always feel free to reach out about what my work schedule looks like for the week! I normally work between 1 and 3 shifts a week. I have three cats of my own and they are watched closely to make sure they don’t get outside or put themselves in danger. I also always make sure they are comfortable with plenty of food and water along with space to play around and rest. As for dogs, in previous houses I always make sure to keep dogs on a leash when walking outside just in case anything happens. If there’s any reason I can’t keep a direct eye on the dog outside, I make sure they are either on a leash or safe inside the house. As with cats, I also make sure dogs are fed the right amount at the right time and have fresh, clean water and lots of space to play and relax. I also think it’s important to cater to the animal based on how much attention they need and make sure to give furry friends lots of love if they want it!

“Kristen was outstanding. She communicated well was prompt, did exactly what we wanted and Dexter loved her! We will definitely use her again!”

About: I treat every pet like my own—I have an adorable, energetic pup myself, so I know how much love and attention they need! I'm experienced with both playful puppies and sweet seniors, and I’m all about keeping tails wagging and hearts happy. Pet care is a natural part of my day! I work remotely, so I’m home and available for playtime, potty breaks, and lots of snuggles throughout the day. My own pup keeps me active, and I love having more furry friends around to love and care for! For walks and drop-ins, I focus on giving your pet one-on-one attention and sticking to their routine. Whether it's a brisk walk, playtime, or just some love and companionship, I make sure they feel happy and cared for while you're away. I treat every visit like a chance to brighten their day—and yours!

“Halie has done great with my pup! I appreciate her communication and willing to walk even in rainy weather!”

About: I have owned and cared for dogs all of my life. My first job when I was younger was drop in visits and dog walking. I have experience dealing with high energy dogs as well as senior dogs. I am able to adapt to the needs of your pet and can be very in tuned with what they might need. I also have no breed restrictions, as I have been around dogs as small as yorkies and as large as great pyrenees. I am currently working with a flexible schedule and can typically be called on for those last minute emergencies. I understand that dogs are a part of the family and therefore we want to spoil them, unfortunately we do not always have the time. That is why I am here, to help spoil your loved pup. As a small business owner who works from home, my daily routine is calm, consistent, and pet-friendly. I’m home throughout the day, which means your pet will have plenty of company, attention, and an stress-free environment. Whether it’s feeding time, playtime, or just lounging, I provide a quiet and cozy space where your pet can feel right at home. I maintain a clean and peaceful atmosphere and treat every animal with the same love and care I’d give my own. With a flexible schedule and the freedom to work remotely, I can easily accommodate in-home visits based on your pet’s needs. I make it a priority to maintain your pet’s routine as closely as possible—feeding, litter cleaning, play, and any special care they may require. I’m respectful of your home and take pride in providing reliable, attentive care while you’re away, giving your pet a familiar environment and you peace of mind. Whether it’s one visit a day or multiple check-ins, I tailor my care to suit your pet’s comfort and routine.

“Hailey was so great to my little lab puppy. She really helped me out on short notice! She responded fast and communicated with me really well. She not only walked my pup but stayed to play with her a bit afterwards? she really goes above and beyond! Will definitely use her again in the future!”

About: Welcome to my version of Vacation For Dogs! I’ve been caring for pets for over 10 years and absolutely love what I do. Whether it's snuggly couch time, long walks, or energetic play sessions, I always tailor my care to fit each pet’s personality and needs. I have experience with dogs of all ages—from young, curious puppies to sweet senior dogs who need extra patience and comfort. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, administering medication, crate training, and following any special instructions you may have. My top priority is keeping your pet safe, happy, and feeling loved while you're away. I treat every dog like they’re part of my own family. If you're looking for someone dependable, attentive, and truly passionate about animals, I’d love to be your go-to sitter! Caring for pets is a natural part of my daily life—it doesn’t feel like a job, it feels like a passion. I plan my schedule around the needs of the pets I care for, ensuring they get consistent attention, exercise, and affection throughout the day. Whether I’m doing stop-by visits, walks, or overnight stays, I dedicate focused time to each pet to make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I keep my availability flexible to accommodate morning, midday, and evening routines, and I build in time for things like medication, play sessions, and feeding schedules. Because I genuinely enjoy being around animals, pet care isn’t something I fit into my routine—it is part of my lifestyle. When I care for pets in their own home, I follow your instructions closely to help them feel safe and relaxed in their familiar surroundings. I maintain their regular schedule for walks, meals, and medications, and I make sure their space stays clean and comforting. I’m respectful of your home, keeping things tidy and secure while you’re away. I also send regular updates with photos, so you can have peace of mind.

“Tatym was great with my new puppy! She walked him and played him while I was at work all day. I know he got a lot of love from her while I was gone and will definitely use her again!”

About: I have had my own pets for 12 years. I currently have two very active dogs. Roxy is an English Mastiff and Ruby is a Cattle Dog-American Bulldog mix. I started becoming interested in pet care when I started trading pet-sitting services with my neighbors. I have worked with puppies, senior dogs, cats, and hamsters so far. I look forward to making new animal friends. I am currently working part-time with flexible hours so I am available early mornings, at lunchtime for about an hour, and any time after 3:00 pm. I am available most weekends at any time. My number one priority is to keep your pet safe. I will follow any instructions perfectly to take care of them as you do in your home.

About: I’ve always been very passionate towards animals. I’ve volunteered for a shelter and I used to work at a pet store with animals every single day! I am working currently part-time so depending on my schedule for the week I will be able to help you take care of your fur baby! 🐾 I am used to having escape artists so I always make sure no one runs out the door! I am also comfortable using crates or kennels! Just let me know if your fur baby likes to plan their escapes when scheduling! 😊

“Kaylee has done an excellent job taking care of our dog! She has been very communicative and flexible with our needs with walking our dog. We trust her completely with him and have been very pleased!”

About: Hi! I’ve grown up taking care of my own, friends and family’s pets. I have experience with caring for puppies and dogs of all sizes and temperaments grooming, bathing, feeding (even picky dogs), and walking (including large dogs). I am very passionate about dogs and care that they feel safe and comfortable. I have done dog obedience and agility for several years with my dogs and have a good understanding of dogs and their behaviors. I am a college student home for the summer working part time so I would love to spend time caring for and playing with your dogs while you’re gone. I am free most afternoons and some mornings as well as weekends! I am taking an online summer class so am very flexible as to when i can spend time with your dog. I am willing to work with your dog in whatever capacity is most comfortable for you and them. I am able to take them on long walks or runs or just sit with them and spend time with them if needed. I can just stop in to let them out and give them playtime or I can spend more time with them as you need/prefer.
