Dog Walking in Seymour

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: 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.

About: I've had many animals my whole life. I'm very comfortable with any size dog or cat and their unique personalities. I really enjoy building a bond with my clients. Rover is my only employment at this time so I am free most days. I try to update my availability at least once or twice a week. I would be so happy to take care of your babies at your home while your away! I know having a stranger in your home seems scary but just know I am there for you and your baby nothing more! You can message me as much as you would like during the visits and don't worry I'll send plenty of pictures! I will also clean up after myself and your pet if they make a mess!

About: With a fur family of my own, including my dog, Rein and cat, Stormi, I understand the importance of treating your pets like part of the family. Plus my volunteer experience at the Columbus Animal Services Shelter has given me extensive hands-on expertise with animals of all shapes, sizes and personalities. Rest assured, your beloved companions will receive the utmost attention, love and care in their home environments under my trusted supervision. I am available full-time to meet your needs and to provide plenty of loving care for your fur babies. I am available 7 days a week. I provide care for you beloved pets in their own environment insuring they feel safe and comfortable at all times. I feel pets feel better within their own homes.

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: I grew up on a farm in rural Indiana. Needless to say, cats and dogs are the fun part! My husband and I have a 7 year old Golden Retriever and 13 year old Cocker Spaniel. My mother still lives on the farm with 4 dogs, too many farm cats to count, 2 chinchillas, and a farm of chickens! We’ve nurtured numerous premie kittens and even a handful of baby rabbits over the years. It’s so fun to watch them grow and learn! I am currently self employed and finding my passions. I make my own schedule at the moment so your babies will take priority. My husband and I just welcomed our first child July 31st and are adjusting to a new normal. I am free for all your pet sitting needs! My husband and I live in a nice, quiet neighborhood. We have a fenced in backyard and love to take our babies for walks around the block! Your fur babies will be in great hands and cared for as if they were our own! My husband and I just welcomed our first child end of July. We are both home on leave currently and have extra time for your pet care needs. We will both return to work by the end of October but are more than willing to work out any needs after that time. I have a fenced in backyard yard with 2 sweet fur babies to keep yours company. We live in a nice quiet neighborhood where everyone walks their dogs. I have a large crate as well if needed.

About: I have been around dogs and animals my whole life, and finally got my own in the last ten years after watching others' for several years before that. I continue to help friends and family both with pet sitting and training where I can. Most of my experience is with rescue dogs, and I'm happy to board any difficult dogs you may have. I love working with puppies and helping them settle into new routines and learning how to live in our human world. I have experience with reactive and aggressive dogs, and we can work together to make sure any safety precautions are covered if needed. I have experience with dogs who have disabilities and special needs, including deafness and anxiety issues, as well medication needs. I have 15 years experience training multiple kinds of animals, and I continue to enroll in online and in person training classes to improve my skills, and expand my knowledge. During a meet and greet, we can discuss if any training is something you're interested in as well! I am a professional dog trainer, and my schedule is a bit flexible when it comes to pick up/drop off times, but I will be out of the house for 2-5 hours most days. When I'm home, I'll be able to give your dogs whatever they need, whether it's just attention, or exercise to burn off the down time from when I was gone! When I leave the house, I keep dogs from different families separated and will most likely need to crate your dog. If this is not possible for your dog, there may be an extra charge depending on what changes I'll need to make to my schedule. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs, Rafiki and Apollo, who are always looking for friends to hang out with! They have their own personalities that can work with all types of dogs whether they are up for some playtime, hikes, or even hanging out on the couch all day if that's what your dog is into! We have several parks and trails we go to regularly if you're interested as well. In the house, I'm fine with dogs on the furniture, but if you'd like I have many dog beds around as well if they prefer those. Standard walking services include a walk around your neighborhood with minimal training besides upkeep on your expectations of your dogs. We can add on any training services to work on reducing pulling or working on reactivity as needed if interested. I also can provide longer "adventure" walks which would include driving your dog to local parks/trails and a walk on a long line for extra decompression and exercise needs.

About: I have 15 years of experience as a veterinary assistant I have been trained in patient triage, cpr, heatstroke, and wound management. I love meeting new pets and getting to know their personalities! I have worked with juvenile, senior, and special needs patients. As my pets are aging and through my work I have developed a very special place in my heart for senior pets who just need a little extra attention and care. I enjoy taking pets for a walk or a game of fetch. I am comfortable with all breeds and sizes and have experience giving oral and injectable medications. I would Enjoy the opportunity to meet you and your fur babies! I typically only work three days a week and enjoy filling my days off with a more relaxing side of caring for pets. Whether it's for a walk or just a check in throughout the day. I like to make your pet comfortable by moving slow and giving them the time they need to warm up to me being in their space.

“Carolyne was absolutely wonderful. We did not worry for a single moment that our dig Charley was being very well taken care of. Carolyne sent lots of pictures and newsy updates on how Charley was doing. we would feel lucky to have Carolyne come watch Charley again.”

About: I’ve owned dogs and cats ever since I was born! Animals mean just as much to me as humans. I adore giving them the care they need and deserve.

I enjoy walking, bathing, and playing with animals, as well as anything needed to take good care of them! I have been traveling abroad, but now I will be home from June through August and will not have a full time job, so I have a lot of availability within the next couple months to take care of your pets!
