Dog Walking in Shoaff Park Rivers Estates, Fort Wayne

“Tracy walked my dogs daily for three years and even when he was in the hospital he got someone to cover for him. He took extra special care of my boys and I dread moving to a new city and trying to find someone that comes even close to his level of caring and expertise. Hes the best there is in the area. Try him and you'll never go anywhere else.”

“Russ is fantastic, always on time. Always sends pics and map of their walk. Harriet is very happy with him.”

About: I am a responsible, active individual with a love for dogs and cats. I have a tabby cat named Nala and German Shepherd named Blake. I am experienced in giving oral medication, taking dogs to the dog park, calming dogs during thunderstorms, and going on some cool car rides with the windows down. I realize pets are like children for many people and I intend to treat them as such. I will do my best to be a high-performing pet caretaker for whatever drop-in services are needed of me. I am currently between travel contract jobs so am available for all hours, however, they are subject to change based on my next work contract. I am currently providing drop-in visits for both dogs and cats in addition to dog walking. I am experienced with both shy and outgoing dogs and cats. I know some pets like to act as escape artists and will be aware of open doors, fences, escape routes, etc.

“Responds quickly, great communicator, always willing to help with additional walks with my crazy work schedule.”

About: Hi! My name is Hannah, and I am an experienced and dependable pet caregiver with 15 years of experience caring for a wide range of animals. From energetic puppies to senior cats and everything in between, I am passionate about providing loving, attentive care that keeps your pets happy and safe. I believe every pet deserves patience, kindness, and a warm environment where they feel secure. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or simply companionship while you’re away, I tailor my care to fit your pet’s unique personality and needs. I’d love to connect to learn more about your furry (or feathered!) family members. Please feel free to reach out so we can discuss how I can help care for your pets. i am currently working part time so i am available several times throughout the week and on weekends depending on the needs of your schedule. I create a safe and trusted environment by combining 15 years of experience with a caring, attentive approach. I always follow safety protocols, whether supervising playtime, administering medication, or providing transportation to appointments. I take time to build trust so pets feel comfortable and secure in my care. By keeping open communication with pet owners and staying consistent and dependable, I aim to provide care you can rely on with complete peace of mind

About: At Williamson Animal Care and Control I volunteered walking dogs. I also received significant training in dog behavior and dog walking. After retiring from my career, I started my pet sitting and dog walking career. I took care of a rescued Great Pyrenees multiple times during the week and frequently overnight trips for over two years. I recently moved back to the Fort Wayne area from Franklin, TN. Three of my previous dog clients have shown interest in having me come back to stay with their dogs when they’re out of town for more than a couple days. Pet sitting and dog walking are my primary responsibilities along with taking care of my two cats. I have a very flexible and available schedule. I take pride and making sure that the client’s home is as good if not better when I entered. I will walk the dog, feed or treat, make sure the water bowl is full and also if appropriate snuggles.

“He’s been very communicative and awesome with my dog Vera! He takes her for walks and to the dog park which is great for her. We like him a ton!”

About: I've worked with dogs, cats, and other animals since middle school. I've done short- and long-term sitting for dogs varying from a weekend with a mixed breed rescue to a month with a purebred Australian shepherd. I owned an elderly Maltese for three years, until he crossed the rainbow bridge. Currently I do have a limit of dogs of maximum 35 pounds. I am prepared and willing to work with training routines. I studied cats extensively in seventh grade in my attempt to persuade my parents into owning one. (It worked.) As either a cat owner or sitter, I've been working with cats ever since. I have a beautiful little black and white princess named Jane, with an affinity for burrowing in blankets and stealing pens, and a wild child named Lizzie who has never met a stranger. I offer dog and cat walks, animal feeding, water changes, litter box changes, playtime, and brushing. I'm open to pets outside the usual; anything except spiders. My availability is very flexible right now. Send me a message to get a request started! Currently I do gig work and have a very open and flexible schedule. Most Sundays I spend out of town, but feel free to message to discuss custom scheduling. Safety and care in a pet's home is reliant first and foremost on learning the family's routines and location of important items. Every family in every home has a system and routines in place; following those is the smoothest way to keep the animals happy and safe. In my home, I care for two young adult cats I own, as well as foster kittens. Right now, I have a group of four kittens to care for until they reach their goal weight for their spay/neuter surgeries. I do practice robust hygiene routines to ensure no potential illness is transmitted between the fosters and my cats.

About: I know how hard it is to leave your beloved fur baby and I want you and your pet to be happy, knowing they're in good hands. I am patient, gentle and affectionate with animals and want them to have a great experience whenever I am with them. I love feeding animals and giving them treats, but I am respectful of the client's wishes and will strictly follow all feeding instructions. I am physically in shape and able to walk/jog with your dog and go on long walks (I also live near the Pufferbelly trail). I will play tug, fetch or whatever game your dog enjoys. I am willing to take your dog on car rides and to the Huntertown dog park upon client request. I have a golden retriever that loves to play and go for walks, so if you want some socialization for your dog, I can also bring him along. My dog will only come by request of the client. I do have 2 cats in my home, so I can only board dogs who are cat (and dog) friendly. Otherwise, I am more than happy to come to your home and care for your dog(s).

“Fantastic work”

About: I love dogs and have been caring for them since I was 12. With me, your pet will have the “Cool Aunt” as their sitter (with a couple dad jokes slid in as well). We’ll be the Paw-fect match! I’m currently working full time, so on top of meeting all of your pet’s needs, we’ll be taking advantage of long walks in good weather or doing fun activities such playing hide in seek or watching a relatable film for movie night (Beethoven is my favorite!) My services of care will depend on your instructions and boundaries for your fur baby along with your home. I take pride in doing what I do best whilst making sure every expectation you have of me is met.

“Shari is so sweet! She was great with my two big dogs. Of course most people get scared when big dogs are barking at them, but she was comfortable to just let them do their barking and growling circling her until they realized she was friendly. Very gentle and genuine with my dogs. She left a note thanking me for letting her walk my furbabies and told me how they did. Generous touch. I'm definitely going to book with her again!!”

About: I’m married and half 6 children 3 human and 3 dogs. I enjoy all dogs of every shape, size, and attitude. I love taking my dogs out doors to play. I work in a small Lutheran school running the lunch program. As my children are growing up I have more free time and I would like to find something I enjoy that gets me outdoors. I’ve always had a love for dogs and would love more but 3 is enough for my size of home on a daily basis. We have a big backyard! I do not have a fence our dogs are trained to stay within the property lines. I do have several sizes of collars and leashes for walks around the neighborhood or just in the yard. I also have several crates and dog beds if they are requested.

About: I am a full-time Moma and grew up taking care of dogs/cats/horses/and yes even goats throughout my life, I am the proud owner of a two Cavalier King Charles Spaniels named Luna and Apollo. My friends and family describe me as dependable, kind, and compassionate. What sets me apart is my willingness to take my time with your little loved one. I will take care of your pet(s) as if they're my own. Drop-ins will include play-time, belly rubs, and even the possible light grooming/training if needed. If desired I will also check out the home to be sure everything is still safe and things are going alright. I look forward to giving your animal genuine attention and the exercise they need. While I cannot do overnight stays, I am happy to offer house check-ins and walks for a variety of animals. I'm a homeschool Moma and I love taking care of animals. I spend a lot of time with my two pups so the more friends around the better! We have two friendly pups to keep them company and lots of love. A big fenced-in back yard and can have them in a create if needed

About: Hello! I love dogs and everything about them. I have a dog of my own who I recently trained to file his front nails! I enjoy playing in my backyard with him and recently have taken to making home made dog food and treats. I think it is fun to treat my dog like a family member. I am interested in learning about different breeds. I know how hard it is to find reliable and caring people who will treat your dog with the kindness s/he deserves. I would like to help reduce that stress and offer my services to those who are in need of quality dog care. I have experience with chickens, rabbits and guinea pigs as well. I have a flexible schedule and am available for drop ins at most hours, including early morning and late nights. I am central in the city and am close to most areas. I have a fenced in yard. My dog is crate trained. I walk my dog daily and give him the best foods and preventative meds.

About: As a person who used to live with older dogs, I became accustom to giving them medications or helping them with their treatments. I also love puppies (who doesn’t?) and am willing to spend time attempting to train them. Besides dogs, I am a proud indoor bunny mom. I find it highly important to understand a rabbit’s needs, behaviors and risks. I am home for the summer in Fort Wayne, Indiana and would love to check in on your pets to pass the time! My summer job allows me to pick up extra gigs like dog sitting. I have two large dogs. I feed, walk, and play with them daily. I also have two indoor bunnies. I interact with them as much as I can since they are very social creatures.

About: I’ve taken care of one shitzu and terrier mix and one German shepherd which are my uncle’s pets as he is most of the time on a work trip. I would looked after them on weekends and holidays. I’m used to feeding them, taking a walk and potty breaks and giving them a bath. Right now, I’m on summer break and I am not looking for a part time job or anything so I have lots of free time to look after your puppies! I don’t have any pets at my home but I’m confident that I can keep them safe and comfortable in my home! I’ll make sure to be tailored to any specific requirements or needs of each pet!

About: I have a natural way with animals, especially when it comes to training and understanding their needs. My dog is well-trained, not just in basic commands but also in manners and adventure-readiness, making our hikes and walks smooth and enjoyable. I’ve also mastered the balance of caring for both an energetic dog and two independent cats, ensuring each of them gets the attention and care they need. My ability to read animal behavior and create a structured yet loving environment sets me apart, making me not just a pet owner, but a true companion to my furry family. Every morning before 2 I am more than available to do drop ins other than Sundays. I do in fact work a full time job that I go into at 3. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved. I follow their routine closely, including feeding schedules, bathroom breaks, and any medical needs. For exercise, I provide walks, playtime, and mental stimulation with toys or training games. I also respect house rules, whether it’s furniture boundaries or specific care instructions. Most importantly, I give plenty of attention, whether that’s belly rubs, cuddle time, or just being present to ensure they feel at ease while their owner is away.
