Dog Walking in Shelbyville

About: I have provided house, pet, and babysitting needs to clients and family friends for the past two years. I have additional availability and looking for more opportunities! I have a flexible schedule and I keep close track on what times I am available on a given day. I do not work full time which allows me to be more flexible. I have one dog, five guinea pigs, and fish. I love buying them toys and special treats. Snuggling with them on the couch and playing fetch!

About: I have had pets my whole life. I own two dogs, a crested gecko, and a leopard gecko. The dogs are two blue tick coonhounds and one is 11 while the other one is around 2. I love to rescue animals and try to help them get to know that humans aren't all bad. I can do senior care and medicine handling, since I've had senior dogs myself and they have needed medication. As a child, I would always try to help people that lost their dogs find them again. I love my animals and want to give love to your animals! I am working a part-time job at Goodwill as if right now. I don't know my schedule at work until a week beforehand, and sometimes it's even later than that. I stay with my pets at home a lot. I play with them, feed them, try to train them a bit if needed, reward them, and love on them of course! I will do the same for your pets if you need! I will definitely create a relationship with the animal before doing too much. I need them to trust me.

About: Being an energetic and patient person, your pets will thrive in my care, getting loved like they are my own. I have many years of experience w/ dogs & cats, a couple reptiles, and an occasional hamster. Not having any pets of my own, and being an empty nester, I have a very flexible schedule as well. I am now an empty nester, with no pets of my own, so my schedule is very flexible. I can happily provide short- or long-term care for your pets. I will ensure that your pet is loved and kept safe from harm. I can also give your pet a bath if needed, take them on walks and/or runs, give medication and lots of snuggles!

About: I’ve been dog sitting for co-workers for approximately 5 years but have been an animal lover my whole life! I don’t remember a time when my family did not own a pet! I work 3 12hr shifts a week and have plenty of time to keep your pets company before or after work or on my days off! I would prefer to watch your pets at your home but would not be opposed to keeping them with me! I have 2 cats and currently in the process of rebuilding our fence!

“Very polite and professional, will definitely be a returning client for Kari! She walked my chocolate lab named Hiccup even though it started to rain. Thank you so much!”

“Our dog, Shep, always looked forward to his walks with Taylor! We loved all the photos and updates she would give us after every walk. We will miss having her in Houston!”

About: I have experience with all types of dogs. I have helped raise puppies all the way until seniors. I love getting to share my love with your dogs! I’m an elementary school teacher and would love to spend my extra time loving on your furry friend. My golden retriever is always looking for a friend to play with! I would love to allow your dog to get some energy out during the day or help keep them in their routine while you are out of town!

About: I have cared for a diverse number of animals through my life. Dogs, cats and exotic pets. I can feed/water, walk, take out, play, clean potty pads or litter boxes/cages or tanks, administer medications, assist in potty training, dog cpr, care for animals post surgery. I do work full time mon-fri however I am available for multiple daily check ins to perform tasks with your pets throughout the day. Weekends open. I care for every animal as if it is my own no matter the species. I am very attentive while provide space for those pets who are shy. I ensure get perform all tasks so your pet is comfortable while awaiting my next check in in.

About: I have 10 years experience caring for Dogs & Cats. I have had animals around me my whole life & I love caring for & working with them. I have trained puppies & supported older senior animals on their way out. My favorite activity is taking them on adventures outside, dependent on the animals temperament/style, some love dog parks, playing fetch, going for drives, hikes, and others just like a simple calm stroll. I also have experience watching & caring for more exotic pets such as reptiles, amphibians, snakes, and farm animals. Throughout my life I've had a few pets a Bearded Dragon, Ball Python, Cat, Dog, a horse, Chickens, and my siblings had pets as well that I helped care for. Whatever mini family member (or maybe not so mini) it is that you're looking to get care for I'm excited to meet them! At the moment I'm currently staying at home & doing this full time. When they're here all my attention will be available for your loved one. I have a small fenced in backyard that they're free to adventure in, though most their exercise will come from walks/the park as it's not that big. There are no children in the home.

About: I am not a professional but sometimes I believe that’s okay. I’ve had dogs since I can remember. I’ve always had such a big heart when it comes to animals. I worked at a shelter while I was in high school and the hardest for me was not bringin them all to my house. I have two dogs of my own. They’re both older girls and very very laid back and friendly. I think every dog has personality of their own and that’s what is beautiful about dogs. I think taking care of dogs is more than a chore or a job, i think it’s more of passion. In my opinion you have to love dogs to be able to take care of them the way they need. I hope I can be what you’re looking for.

About: Hello! I am a mom of 3, a nightshift nurse, looking to care for your fur babies! I have experience with dogs, cats, and horses!

About: I have been around animals all my life. I am a registered veterinary technician who has worked with all sizes, breeds, and ages of dogs. I work in a school district and am currently on summer vacation, so I have tons of availability to visit your pets and/or walk them during the day. My only unavailable time is Tuesdays after 5:30. I will always ensure the animal feels safe and loved. I will follow the same guidelines that their owners have set to ensure minimal confusion and anxiety.

About: I will genuinely treat your pups like my own! I’ve had pets ever since I can remember - dogs, cats, & even fish. Today, I'm a proud plant & cat mom. Because I love traveling myself, I totally know how stressful it is to leave your babies behind & how important it is to have reliable, trustworthy help you can count on. I love taking dogs on adventures, whether that’s hitting trails to burn off energy or just enjoying a long, sniff filled neighborhood walk. I have experience with all kinds of personalities from high energy pups who want to play non stop, to sweet seniors who just want a slow stroll & some good couch cuddles. I love sending lots of photo updates & making sure your dogs feel safe, happy, & loved! I have a super flexible schedule. My days are open enough that I can easily prioritize structured potty breaks & long walks, without having to rush back to a strict 9-5 desk job. In my home your pet becomes a part of the family! My place is a pet friendly environment where they can fully relax & get cozy. While I don’t have a fence, I have a massive yard with a secure lead, so the dogs can get plenty of space while staying safe. Plus, they’ll get tons of attention & plenty of couch cuddles! If I’m coming to your house for a walk or a drop in, I’ll treat your space with total respect. I’ll strictly follow whatever routine you have for feeding, crating, or locking up. I'm always mindful of the little things like wiping muddy paws if it's rainy & making sure the water bowl is totally fresh before I leave. Plus, you can definitely count on lots of fun photo updates so you know exactly how great they’re doing! Whether your pet is hanging out at my place or I’m visiting yours, making sure they feel safe and comfortable is my biggest priority.

“AMAZING! Spectacular! There isn’t a word to express how amazing Jason and Tania are! Kona was treated like a king :) Tania sent the best pictures and always let me know how Kona was feeling. She communicated every concern and showed how much she loves what she does. After a few walks she figured out his likes and dislikes and just let my pup do his thing whether that was rolling in the grass and just chilling or watching all the squirrels. Kona also LOVED Tania, you could tell by the pictures. I was always at ease knowing that Kona was being cared for so wonderfully. Not only are the best people ever, they are also extremely flexible and are amazing communicators. When ever I had a last minute walk needed or a change in schedule they were eager to help make that change. They will be Kona's number one choice for walks for life. ❤️”

About: As a dedicated pet sitter, I offer personalized care and attention that sets me apart from others. My passion for animals means I treat every pet like my own, ensuring they feel loved and secure while you're away. With flexible scheduling, daily updates, and a commitment to keeping your pets happy and healthy, you can trust that your furry friends are in the best hands. I have first hand experience with being an intern at a vet hospital and reliability that gives you peace of mind, knowing your pets are cared for by someone who truly understands their needs. Pet care is a big part of my daily routine. I spend time feeding, walking my dogs, playing with my cats, and taking care of the chickens and pig. Each day is filled with love and attention for all my pets! I care for pets in my home and my clients' homes by providing a safe and comfortable environment. I ensure that all pets have access to fresh water, food, and plenty of playtime. For dogs, I take them on regular walks and engage in fun activities. For cats, I love interactive play and cuddling. I also maintain a clean space, ensuring litter boxes are kept clean and living areas are free of hazards. I keep pet owners updated with photos and messages about their pets' well-being.

About: We’ve had animals since our whole life, me and my partner love to take care of the animals and would love to meet all of your animals and to take care of them, take them on a walk, etc I’m currently working part time, my partner, Taylor is a online college student so we have a lot of time between us to go and take care of the animals whenever it is needed (: When I’m at your home I’d watch them all the times, put on leash everytime we go out or go on a walk, make sure they’re keeping themselves busy

About: I’ve spent my entire life loving and caring for animals. So much so that I’ve devoted my life to them. For the last 10 years I’ve worked as a registered veterinary technician. I’m able to handle any and all pets and anything your loved one might need. Please note that if you are planning on boarding with me I do have small children and cats, so a meet and greet is non negotiable and must be done before the stay. Please message me with any questions I’m very flexible with days and times. Basically I’m available more times than not since I only work part time away from home. Please feel free to message me with any questions on my schedule! In my house everyone is treated like family, lots of love, cuddles, and playtime. But please note, I do have two small children and cats. Due to some serious issues in the past, I do require a meet and greet first. If your pet is known to eat/ destroy blankets or toys please let me know so we can be prepared for their stay.

About: I have a master's and bachelor's in animal science and plenty of experience with an array of different animal needs, demeanors, and personalities. Taking care of animals is truly what I love to do. Pet care is built into my routine through daily feeding, walks, playtime, and grooming, plus weekly cleaning and health checks. It provides structure to my day and keeps me active, mindful, and consistent. I care for pets by providing regular feeding, exercise, supervision, and enrichment. Although I don’t have a fenced yard, I use a designated area in my apartment where dogs can safely roam, play, and relax, along with scheduled walks and attentive care.

About: I was born with pets, cats and dogs. My best friend, a vet tech, has trusted me with her elderly husky and the 2 young ones. All adopted! I loved it so I adopted my own Husky, Kingston (that’s him in my photo). I know training is for the pet AND the human. Exercise, affection, and discipline are keys for a happy pet life, not aggression or cruelty. Pet health and grooming are second nature to me, and I have access to a licensed veterinary opinion in case of emergencies. Ask me anything if concerned, I want to be friends with your fur babies! I work 8 hour days during the week, off by 5. That leaves my availability at evenings and weekends for now. Pet has a LOT of energy? We’re gonna burn it! I go for walks 30 minutes twice daily, morning and evening. Feeding times are specific to the dog so I communicate with you on their routine so they can continue it and still fit in at puppy daycare! I have a two story duplex in Irvington, where I’m surrounded by parks and the Pleasant Run Trail. Pet has a LOT of energy? We’re gonna burn it! I go for walks since the husky boy needs it, and he is trained and friendly and likes to play with friends if allowed so he’s as excited as I am! We take 30 minute walks twice daily, morning and evening. We go to the the dog park (broad ripple or clay terrace) on Sundays. Feeding whenever convenient for the pet I’m watching, some dietetic pets need a strict timeline so we stick to that. Playtime when they are ready to play, but also an organized routine of games and training during that time. Whether I come to you or they come to me, the environment and schedule is pet friendly.
