Dog Walkers in South Whitley, IN

About: Hi! I have had 2 family dogs and I currently own 2 cats. I have worked at a dog kennel and done a couple internships at vets. I can work with any type of animal of any age. I plan to have a full time job but can check in on your babies as needed. I am also willing to stay overnight if necessary. I can drive to client’s homes. I can feed, medicate, walk, scoop litter boxes, and anything else needed. I prefer to go to client’s homes rather than take them home.

“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.

About: I am a lover of all animals and have been rescuing and fostering as well as caring for friends, family and my own pets since childhood. I take pride in keeping your pets needs met and cleanliness of their environment and belongings as well as medication needs. We are a big animal family that consists of dogs, cats, a tortoise, and a bird. We also rescue and foster through a local shelter. I understand that leaving your fur baby can be difficult, but I want to assure you that I have a fenced yard and friendly dogs that can keep your pet company. If needed, I can easily crate your pet and I will make sure to follow your instructions if you would like me to.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs ranging in size and age! I work in the medical field (3 12 hour shifts) so I have lots of free time to fill with your furry friend! I have 2 dogs of my own, my most recent who was a rescue from our local shelter. I’m very patient, loving, and kind. I’d love to be a calming presence for your dog while you’re away! I have 4 days off each week - I don’t work holidays or weekends at my job, so I’m more than willing to spend that time with your pup! I have a fenced in backyard. I have 2 medium sized dogs who are both very friendly and would love to meet your animals! They are fully vaccinated. I have a large room in my home with plenty of dog beds and a couple crates that has windows and hardwood floors. I have a baby gate up so that my dogs can roam free while I’m at work ◡̈

About: I've had dogs of all sizes my whole life. From a Yorkie to a 180 pound Saint Bernard! I have taken some basic dog handling care classes and even work in the local shelter with the cats. I'm currently working full time, so I would show up in the morning to check on the animal, during my lunch break if I can, and once I'm off work I would show up as well. Every visit with the animal, I check their eyes, nose, and ears to make sure they aren't getting sick and I also take the morning to care for their food and water needs.

“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: Hi! I’m Alicia. I’m a second grade teacher and lifelong Fort Wayne resident. I’ve had pets my entire life, but currently have none of my own, so I’m looking forward to babying yours this summer! I know how stressful it can be to leave your pets behind, so I’m grateful for the opportunity to offer them a quiet, kid-free, pet-free, low-stress environment to settle into while you’re away. I’m extremely reliable, caring, and patient. Whether your pet needs medication, a consistent routine, or extra time to warm up to someone, I’m happy to adjust to whatever works best for them (and for you). Whether I’m with them for a drop-in or overnight stay, I’ll make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for. Plus, I love to take pictures and document our adventures, so you can expect regular updates and plenty of photos while you’re away. Feel free to reach out to set up a time to chat or schedule a meet and greet! As a teacher, my summers are especially flexible for drop-ins, daycare, and overnight stays. When school starts, I’m limited to before and after school drop-ins, but always open to schedule overnight stays at your house or mine especially on weekends! At my house, your pets will be the only pets in the home, so they’ll get all of the attention they deserve! My house is pet-proofed and I’m very committed to ensuring your pets are safe, loved, and well cared for.

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 taken care of my aunt’s dog since I was little and then briefly lived with one until he passed. I was in charge of walking and feeding them and both dogs absolutely adored me. Now as I’ve grown up, my favorite animals are still dogs but I unfortunately don’t have any and I have the cutest little kitties. Hoping to get my serotonin boost from hanging out with your pups instead! I’m currently studying so I’m available for onboarding any day you need me to! I’m free to watch over them and make sure their needs are met since I am home all day typically. My yard isn’t fenced fully but it is mostly and your fur baby will have all the space to run around. I will be home all day to keep them company and make sure they’re happy.

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

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!

About: What sets me apart is my extensive experience with both dogs and cats, combined with a genuine love for animals.

About: Since I was a child I have been around dogs and cats. They are always part of the family not just a pet. All pets will be treated like they are my own and I will give them love and attention. I currently have 3 small dogs that I have raised since puppies. I also have experience with walking and sitting large dogs for family. Whether they are puppies or senior dogs I will take care of them and treat them with love and care. My days are usually split up between myself and my wife taking care of our dogs. We keep them on a schedule with feedings and trying to take them out as much as possible. I am always willing to walk dogs and keep any routine or schedule needed for them. Taking care of dogs is a daily routine for me. I have 3 dachshund that I split time with my wife taking care of them. We love to take them outside and either play with them or go for walks. They are like children to us and will always see them that way. Keeping up feeding schedules and potty time is always a must to keep them full and happy.

I love to play and give lots of attentions to dogs and will always provide the highest level of care for them. For me personally, I know that when I need someone to take care of my baby that my main concern is that the person is going to be caring and someone I can trust, so I know exactly how it feels leaving your pup with someone new! I am full prepared to give them whatever it is they need and do it in a caring and loving manner, just as I would want with my own dog.
