Dog Walking Shirley

About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life. I have experience with small dogs and big dogs. I have gone through puppy kindergarten classes with my dog as well. I have taken care of dogs, cats, rabbits, chickens, Guinea pigs, birds and bearded dragons. Pet care fits into my routine as I am pretty flexible on weekends, so that I can let them out frequently. I work as an instructional assistant for an elementary school. I can care for animals before and after work as well as my lunch breaks. I follow the school schedule and get holidays and breaks off as well. I prefer staying in the clients home so that the pets can stay in their comfort zone and as close to their normal routine. With that said, I am also very flexible. I can stay in the home, offer drop in visits or care for them in my home. Whatever the client prefers.

About: I’ve been surrounded by cats my whole life and bring a calm, patient vibe to every visit—but I love dogs just as much, so tail wags are always welcome too! I take time to get to know each pet’s unique personality, whether that means cozy cuddles, zoomie-fueled playtime, or just being a reassuring presence while you’re away. Expect plenty of pets, play, fresh food and water, and a sparkling clean litter box for cats—or fun walks, outdoor time, and belly rubs for dogs. I offer pet sitting and drop-ins across the metro area. My flexible schedule (and free weekends!) means I can stick closely to your pet’s routine. I’m experienced with oral and topical medications and treat every furry friend like my own—because they deserve nothing less 🐾 I'm currently on the hunt for a new Agency position, so my days and weeks are completely free currently. Able to be booked at any time. I tailor my care to each pet and the service you choose, because every animal has their own routine and personality. In a client’s home, I focus on keeping things as familiar and stress-free as possible—sticking closely to feeding schedules, walk routines, and favorite playtime activities. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection, along with fresh food and water, and I keep their spaces clean (litter boxes, food areas, etc.). For dogs, that usually means walks, outdoor time, and lots of play (plus belly rubs, of course). For cats, I match their vibe—whether that’s interactive play or just quiet companionship and gentle pets. I’m also experienced with oral and topical medications and always keep an eye on behavior and health, so I can catch anything unusual early. I treat every home with respect and every pet like they’re my own, and I’m happy to send updates and photos so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands.

About: I know it can be nerve racking to find someone you can trust to take care if your pet like you would. That’s why I started pet sitting! I want to provide peace of mind to owners by providing the same routine for your pet and updating you daily. I have experience caring for all types of animals; dogs, cats, chickens and reptiles. All sizes, special diets, oral medications, whatever care your pet’s need! If you have a dog or cat that doesn’t “like” people, I’m your girl! I am a full time student at Ball State which makes my schedule pretty flexible throughout the week and weekend to be able to drop in on your pet. I will care for your home like I would care for mine. I’ll make sure windows and doors are locked before leaving. Ensuring your pet is secure and comfortable! When you return, you’ll never know that I was there. Everything will be as you left it or better!

About: Hi! I’m Jas, a college student completing my classes remotely and an experienced pet sitter with over 3 years of caring for animals. Being home throughout the day gives me the flexibility to provide your pet with plenty of attention, companionship, potty breaks, and playtime. I truly love getting to know each pet’s unique personality and making them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, cats, puppies, kittens, senior pets, and multi-pet households. I’m comfortable with dog walks, drop-in visits, house sitting, boarding, and administering medications. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, or needs a little extra care, I’m happy to follow their routine, their boundaries and give them the attention they deserve. I absolutely adore my pets and I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I always treat every animal like they’re part of my own family. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family members, and I look forward to providing them with a safe, fun, and loving home away from home! I am currently a college student who's courses are mostly online, I do not work so I am very flexible! I am located in the McCordsville area. I have a room dedicated for my dogs with an extra crate for a guest, my dogs are well trained and spayed, I will 100% follow any specific instructions for your pup, my dogs love to play but only when supervised!

“Punctual. Good and responsive communication. Dog had a hood time. Thanks!”

About: With over 10 years of experience caring for both my own pets and other people’s animals, I’ve worked with a wide variety of breeds, personalities, and temperaments! My experience extends beyond dogs and cats to include caring for a pony and goats. I’m comfortable adapting to different animals and their individual routines, personalities, and needs. One of my biggest strengths is working with dogs who need a little extra understanding. I have hands-on experience with reactive, fearful, anxious, and avoidant dogs, and I’ve personally rescued and rehabilitated two pit bulls. I currently own a German Shepherd/Belgian Malinois mix and continue to work with dogs of various breeds and temperaments. I understand that not every pet is immediately comfortable with a new person, and that’s okay! I believe in patience, respecting boundaries, and allowing animals to build trust at their own pace. Whether your pet is outgoing and energetic or shy and cautious, my goal is to provide reliable, compassionate care that meets them where they are. Pet care is already a big part of my daily life, so incorporating visits for other pets into my routine comes naturally! I offer flexible scheduling for drop in visits and walks, including recurring visits and vacation care. A few days’ notice is always appreciated, but I’m happy to consider same day requests when my schedule allows. I do my best to accommodate each pet’s established routine! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well being are always my top priorities! I understand how important it is to trust someone with both your pets and your home. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, boundaries, and any special needs before providing care. I’m especially attentive to body language and signs of stress, particularly with anxious, fearful, or reactive animals. I follow your instructions carefully, respect your pet’s comfort level, and never force interactions. I’m also mindful of secure doors, gates, leashes, and surroundings to help keep everyone safe. My goal is for you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pets are receiving patient, attentive care in their own familiar environment.

About: I’ve been taking care of neighborhood dogs and cats for over 8 years now. I’ve taken them to the park, feed, bathe, etc. I have been relied on by many different people and I never like to disappoint a client. I am a recent college graduate with plans on going back to school to further my education and working part-time mostly in the evenings so I would be available during the day and Im also available on weekends. I have two dogs myself that are trained and when it comes to a clients dog, I would be make sure to abide by their rules only and make sure they are comfortable with everything. I’m currently a student and working part time so I have plenty of time to watch and care for your pups! I will always work my schedule around the pets that I am watching to make sure they come first! In a clients home, I will play with the dog(s) by either running our back with them or throwing a ball and in the house by playing with toys and giving all of my attention!

“Bee was great with Evey! They were communicative and showed up in the agreed time frame. Evey was happy to have some long afternoon walks and came home both times worn out which I appreciate!!”

About: Hi, My name is Heaven. I have experience with all sorts of animals dating back to 2013! You can find me on Facebook @ Pups In Action! Many of my friends and clients consider me to be an animal whisperer! I have no preferences on the size or training level of your pet. (Dog reactivity included) I’m comfortable using whatever you have provided for our walks. If you have the best trained dog or one who needs a person who has a little bit more patience and extra experience I’m who you’re looking for:) I am a full time Caregiver. I have a passion for helping animals and their owners. I put my soul into every dog I work with. You’ll see they’ll love me from the moment they meet me!) I follow the directions my clients give me to a T. I want to take care of your baby the same way that you do.

About: I have worked in the veterinary field for 16 years, passionate about animals since a kid. Skilled in all areas including medicating, health care, special dietary needs ect. I work from home, and would love to spend time with your fur baby. We can go on nice long walks early in the morning time and throughout the day. Contact me with any questions about specific needs. In my home animal boarding is best for me but I can be flexible. Send me a message and we can come up with a plan together!

About: I’ve been an animal lover as long as I can remember. I grew up with dogs, cats, birds, and fish as family pets. As I got older, I’ve had pets of my own and became the go-to person to petsit for friends and family. I also have some experience caring for farm animals. I know leaving can be stressful for both pets and owners. I strive to make that change as seamless as possible so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pets are well cared for. I work remotely and have flexibility in my schedule, so I can be around a lot to give them love and help stick to their usual routine. My current schedule is very flexible. I can easily drop in midday for a walk while you’re at work or spend large chunks of time with your pets during a stay! Unfortunately I cannot host pets in my home at this time. In your house, I’ll follow your instructions for pet care as closely as possible to ensure they feel comfortable and have minimal change in routine.
