Dog Walkers in Sidney, IN

About: I'm an incurable animal lover, and have lots of experience caring for dogs and cats, as well as snakes, turtles, frogs, salamanders, fish, gerbils, hamsters, guinea pigs and ponies. I have had a lifetime of close, loving relationships with dogs and cats of all ages and sizes. I'm a recently retired naturalist and am a wildlife biologist by degree. I've had dogs and cats for pets all of my life. My most recent pet was a beautiful lab mix, Tucker. He was my best friend and constant companion for 13 years but recently crossed the rainbow bridge. So I have plenty of free time, and am ready to spoil your pet with lots of love and fun! I can visit your pet in your home up to 3 times daily to walk, feed, play and cuddle as needed by your fur baby. I can also stay overnight, or I can bring your pet to stay with me at my lake house.

“Maddie has been AMAZING with our anxious dog! She is always communicating with me, and our dog absolutely loves her! Would recommend 100%!”

About: Thanks for stopping by our page. We are a family that loves animals. We love visiting zoos and sanctuaries. Currently, we have one pyredoodle, a fish, and a bearded dragon. This account was created for my son. He is 13 and will be the main caretaker of your fur baby. This is the best way for him to play with lots of animals and more importantly learn responsibility. He has been wonderful and gets so excited every time he learns he'll be pup sitting again. He has 5 consistent repeat clients and loves their fur babies just as he does his brother (our pyredoodle is his brother :) ) Of course, my husband and I will always be supervising.😊 All updates and arrangements are made through me. All earnings go directly to my son. As we aren't on Rover to generate an income our profile may be different from other sitters. Please review the below to ensure we are the right fit for you and your fur baby. *We watch one dog at a time. This is because we want my son to enjoy each and every pup he puppy sits. We want your pup to receive all the love and attention we would want our own pup to receive if we were away. *If you have 2 dogs and one is fairly laid back please message me and to see if we can accommodate your needs. *We don't use kennels unless requested for pets that are already potty-trained *Puppies or dogs not potty trained please bring diapers that have holes for the tails. *Puppies or dogs not potty trained will be kenneled at night if diapers are not available. This is to assist with potty training as it's very important at this age. We have a large crate here we set up for your pup to use. *We do not require a meet and greet if your pup gets along with other animals as we watch one dog at a time and only animals that are friendly with other animals. *We have a pyredoolde born Nov. 2020 who lives inside. He's playful and loves everyone! He is very skittish and submissive to other dogs. The only worry with him is if your dog bullies him he will jump on my lap and he's so big it hurts! lol *WHAT TO BRING Please bring your pup's leash, food bowl, food, and any comfort toys they will need. A brush is great too as we brush our boy every evening and will brush your pup too. - We have learned from previous visits most of the pups arriving prefer to eat and drink out of our dog's food and water bowl. That is fine too! :) *UPDATES I try to text daily updates with a picture usually in the evenings. If it's an extended stay I may do it every other day. Please discuss with me your needs and I'll do my best to accommodate. In short, if your looking for a place your pup can stay and be treated like one of the family we may be the right fit for you. We'll treat your pup just like our own.😊 I work remotely and can easily accommodate most routines. My son goes to an online school and is here to play as soon as he finishes school in the morning. Our yard is fenced in with a vinyl fence. It's almost 1/2 acre. We do let our pup out by himself. If your pup digs under fences or is a Houdini that can climb over a 6ft please let us know. We let your pup stay in the house and roam the same as we do our pup. Also, we do not allow our dog on the furniture. He knows to stay off, but don't make a big deal out of it if your pup is more comfortable while they're with us.

“Absolutely wonderful”

About: I have been involved in several volunteer groups for pets and rescue organizations. I’m sure I could help your peace of mind when you need. I’m currently working for Rover full time. I’m looking to make this a career path and I’m trying to earn more than happiness from Rover. My apartment has a private entrance and I have parks and trails to take them near me that are secure. I have multiple options for boarding.

About: I have been taking care of dogs(including puppies) since I was around 10 years old. Family members and neighbors relied on me to pet sit their dogs. I do also have a little experience with senior dogs. I am not currently working so I have more than enough time to come visit, go on walks, and play with your pets multiple times a day. In a client’s home I can crate if needed, give potty breaks and clean up, give food and water, take them on walks, play with them, and if the yard if fenced I can let them run around.

About: I’ve loved and cared for animals my whole life! I had a sweet cat for eleven years who was a huge part of my family, and I’ve gained lots of experience dog/cat sitting and dog walking over the years. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes and personalities. I've taken care of senior dogs, dogs with specific medications, and pets with designated routines. Whether your pet needs playtime or cuddles, I’m patient, gentle, and always happy to help them feel safe and loved. Pet care fits perfectly into my weekly routine! I’m currently working part-time, so I’m available for pet sitting and dog walking on Sundays, Mondays, Fridays, and Saturdays. I’m happy to be flexible with timing on those days to fit your pet’s needs! I do not currently have any pets in my home. I live in a safe and calm neighborhood, perfect for walks. I have a decent sized yard with no fence. I am always respectful of routines your pets might have or specific instructions, as I have experience with both.

About: I am a 19 year old, currently a stay at home doggie mom. I was previously a Kennel Technician for 3 years at a Training, Boarding, and Grooming facility. I take pride in treating all dogs like my own I do not currently work so I have lots of time on my hands to care for you babies!! I offer mom-sat but take Sundays to myself I treat all dogs and cats like my own. I will cleanup any accidents they have prior to my arrival. And promise to get as much energy out of your dogs and/or cats possible

“Melanie was very responsible and Roxy loved her! She took her on an extra long walk and fed her and left everything very tidy and clean. Melanie is very communicative and highly trustworthy! I recommend her fully!”

About: I have grown up with at least two dogs in my house my whole life. I have experience with rabbits as well. Since coming to college I have missed being around animals! I am currently a college student and I don’t have any other jobs. I am looking to have this be my main source of income and be available as much as I can. I am capable of crating your dog if needed. I always keep an eye on the dogs if we are outside. I make sure all of their needs are met including water, food, and play time!

About: every sitter loves animals, but I really do adore animals and I love being able to just enjoy and meet new animals. My special skills with animals is to cuddle! I love making sure the fur babies are taking care of with love and respect! I currently work a full time job, M-T from 7 to 5, which is the main reason of dog sitting on the weekends! I can do full weeks just need to know ahead of time to be able to discuss with work! The best option is to have them at the client’s home, animals are always comfortable when at home and a place they know! It’s already scary that a stranger is in there house but much better than a scary car ride into a new house!

“Juan was on time. My Teo is always so excited to see him. Which means so much to me. Juan went above and beyond he even walked him a little more than he needed too. Overall a wonderful experience. Will recommend to anyone!!”
