About: I've taken care of a wide variety of pups since I was a child. Friends and family have relied on me for the care of their beloved fur children, and I never take it lightly. I treat them all like I treat my own - with love. All dogs deserve the best care, and I do my very best to give it. I look forward to befriending you and your fur family! Caring for your beloved pets is my full time job, so take comfort in knowing that I am fully invested in them ☺️ I am available for day care, weekend care, or long term care. Your pets are loved as my own! My husband, Brandon, and I and our 2 boys (15 & 9) live on 5 acres of woods and meadow, including a fenced in paddock attached to the house. We use the property daily for walks, playing, and farm animal adventures. I have 3 dogs of my own, 2 young livestock guardians and a recently rescued lap pup who's learning the ways. I can easily crate/separate/rotate dogs if needed, otherwise everyone is encouraged to explore and be adventurous about the house and property!
“Casey swooped in & helped us out with very little notice when our regular dog walker had a family emergency. She was friendly, arrived at agreed upon times & was great with our dog. Will definitely keep her as a back up for the future!”
About: Take time away for yourself, knowing that your home and pups are safe and cared for. I adore dogs and they are drawn to my calm and nurturing demeanor. I have cared for my own dogs and the dogs of others for 30 years. I am a mature female empty-nester who works weekdays on the north side, and then offering pet/home care to save some extra money for travels of my own. Send me a request for a meet and greet - I’ll come to you so I can meet your fur babies! Thanks for reading! Available for overnights or drop in service, your preference. I work on the north side of Indianapolis and I have a flexible schedule for walks and outdoor time throughout the day. Weekends are typically free also. I will treat your home with kindness, keeping it tidy and mess-free while you’re away. I am not scared of pet messes, I will clean them up promptly! I am also comfortable administering medications and accommodating special diets and needs.
About: I’m a loving person. I had two dogs myself (1 I adopted) it’s a lot of hard work but I wouldn’t trade it in for the world. I promise to take care of anyone’s dog as if it was a child which is what dogs are to families children not just animals. They’re the best non humans you could ask for! Sometimes all dogs need are love and attention and we are not always there to give it to them, kind of like humans. I always try to play with mine even if I’m busy from school work just to show him he’s not forgotten. Plain and simple, dogs are family and they should be treated as such and that’s the type of care you would get from me. I would treat them like I would a family member of mine with love respect and honesty.
