Dog Walking Spring Lake

About: I am not a professional but sometimes I believe that’s okay. I’ve had dogs since I can remember. I’ve always had such a big heart when it comes to animals. I worked at a shelter while I was in high school and the hardest for me was not bringin them all to my house. I think every dog has personality of their own and that’s what is beautiful about dogs. I think taking care of dogs is more than a chore or a job, i think it’s more of passion. In my opinion you have to love dogs to be able to take care of them the way they need. I hope I can be what you’re looking for.

About: I'm a huge animal lover and was lucky enough to grow up with lots of pets from rodents to dogs to horses. I've walked big (150lb+) dogs, small dogs, and everything in between with no issues. Until I was 15 years old, my dad had my siblings and I convinced he was allergic to cats because he didn't want us asking to get one. Jokes on him that the majority of us are now cat parents. While I've had my menace of a cat (I love her to pieces even though she's turning my hair as gray as hers) for only a few years, I've still been around cats throughout my life and am attuned to their particular brand of affection. I have experience pet-sitting from bunnies to a pack of seven high energy dogs. If you're looking for a non-dog or cat sitter, give me a shot! I'm very determined to give pets the best care possible, and if I'm unsure of any instructions will not hesitate to ask for clarification no matter how menial the task may appear. No animal's needs are too particular or niche for me. Must walk counterclockwise around the block? Easy. Food must be microwaved for 12 seconds, but stop it with one second on the clock? No problem. Got to pretend their medicine is human food that was "accidentally" spilled on the floor and I need to "rush" to pick it up before Fido gets it? Done. My availability leans more towards the morning or evening, but I'm happy to work with you to best fit your care requirements. I do my best to keep my calendar updated, especially for weekends, but if you're wondering if I'm available please don't hesitate to ask! No amount of instructions are too much for me! I once left three hand written pages of notes on how to care for my hamster. I will follow them to the letter, and not hesitate to ask if I have any questions. Ensuring your family member is happy, healthy, and comfortable in their home is my number one priority.

“Thank you so much Kristina! We can’t wait to have you back!!”

About: I have always had a pet, dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and rats. I love animals and realize the difficulty in leaving your animal babies with someone you trust while you are gone. I take that responsibility very seriously. I recently retired and would like to include in my day, caring for animals whose owners need help when they are gone from the home. I have a fenced yard, and an easy going home environment. I also have two older dogs, 4 indoor kitties, with a total of six cats. They are all pretty laid back.

About: I’ve been a dog owner for 25 years. As well, I always had a dog and/or cat while growing up as a kid. I love animals and looking to make some extra cash on the side. I am working part-time so looking to do something extra on my days off. I typically have a flexible schedule to help out when you need it. I will care for your fur babies and give them love and attention as if they were my own. I will make sure they are comfortable while you are away.

“Very polite and professional, will definitely be a returning client for Kari! She walked my chocolate lab named Hiccup even though it started to rain. Thank you so much!”

About: I've had dogs since I was born and throughout my entire life. I've had puppies, senior dogs, and all big dogs! I've been sitting for neighbors and friends for years, too. I love to play inside or outside. My specialty is cuddling the love bugs. I'm currently working a very flexible part time job and I have a reliable vehicle, so pet care fits very easily into my day! I keep a close eye on all the pets (mostly because I'm trying to get them to hang out with me). I set reminders and have notes to keep on top of things and never forget a step! I am very attentive to my surroundings when I am sitting so I can keep the love bugs safe and comfortable.

About: I have been a regular pet sitter for friends, family, and coworkers since I was a teenager. I have experience with large or small dogs, elderly dogs, cats, and pets that need medication or other accommodations. I have experience with dog-sitting for up to two weeks at a time. This has sometimes included, but is not limited to, administering medication, cleaning up messes inside and outside, walking, feeding, and bathing. Ensuring the safety, health, and happiness of each pet I take care of is my top priority and it is one of my favorite things to do in the world! I work full-time Monday-Friday, so I am only available for pet sitting beginning after 6pm Friday-Sunday. If there is a need for a drop in visit or walk after 6pm during the week, please reach out to me and I may be able to do that. I am unable to have pets at my house because I live with a family member’s dog that does not do well with other animals. Please give me any and all instructions! I will make sure to follow any routine that I can for your pet to be comfortable. I will provide as many updates/photos as requested.

“I found Lorrie on Rover when I needed someone to walk my Emmee after my foot surgery. She did such a wonderful job!! Emmee took to her right away. Lorrie showed such love to my baby. I knew she was safe. I wouldn't hesitate to ask Lorrie to care for my Emmee again! Nancy T. Fishers, IN”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was little. I am never aggressive with animals but I am strong and athletic if you’re pet has a lot of energy. I currently work as a personal trainer so my hours are flexible depending on when I have clients. My schedule is more open than usual right now. I always make sure the pets have fresh water and are able to enjoy their walks as their time. I understand the importance of being consistent with pets so I always keep up with the owners specific preferences.

About: I have lots of experience in pets from birthing to seniors! I’ve done plenty of puppy training and I’ve worked with animals my entire life! Hello! I work full time during the week 8:15-4:30 and I do Rover on the side to help pay for my college! I have much more free time on the weekends but if you book for weekdays I’ll make sure your babies get the love and care they need! In my home I always make sure that my pets needs come first, if I notice a behavior I always try to find the root of it before making changes.

About: I have taken care of animals for sixty plus years. Friends and family have entrusted me with caring for their pets. I have always had animals in my life. I am a retired nurse I am available to care for pets most days. I am trustworthy dependable and caring. Animals are a blessing to me. I have a huge fenced in backyard, with two friendly golden retrievers who would love to play with your pet. Also I can crate if needed.

About: I’ve had 2 pups for over a decade. Bonzo is my first born, a 12yr old Mini Aussie. He’s a trip and great with my kids. Recently lost my 15yr old Sheba Inu/German Shepherd mix. Akai was the love of my life. Not so great with the kids when they became mobile. We had a couple warning bites when the kids were toddlers. Everyone said to get rid of him, but I wouldn’t even consider it. Akai was telling the kids “he doesn’t like that” and the kids needed to learn to respect that. I understand and respect pups, sometimes better than people. I can try to teach the basics to a pup, but definitely not a dog trainer. I’ve considered getting another pup, but Akai was one of a kind. Instead I thought I could share my extra puppy love with other pups. I’m a single mom with two school age kids. So I am available during school hours, 8am-1pm. During the summer my schedule will vary, but mostly available every day of the week. My pup is one of the kids. I give him just as much love and attention as my kids. We have a fenced in backyard and quiet street for walks, if I decide to offer daycare or boarding.

“Gabriel did a wonderful job taking care of our dog for multiple days. I really appreciate the status reports, photos, and videos of the walks with our pup, it made everything very reassuring. Will definitely utilize again.”

About: I grew up with pets, and love being around pups! I don’t have any of my own and for that reason, getting to take care of your pup is a true joy for me. I love hearing even the smallest details about your beloved pet so that I can give them as much care as you do! I’m a stay-at-home mom with daily availability to make house visits or go on walks. My teen sons also enjoy pet sitting/ dog walking and may accompany me at times. I strive to give them the same love and care you do! I am a detailed oriented person who you can be confident will attempt to hear and follow all of your instructions, making sure your pet is in good hands! I want to give you and your pet the highest care and respect possible. Pet parents know all the individual qualities about their pet— what they like to do, what scares them, what will help them get in and out of the house, etc. Those are the things I appreciate knowing.

About: I’ve had my own dog for 5 years, and it’s taught me a lot of responsibility. I used to dog walk for my neighbors before I moved. Also, I have a lot of patience when it comes to dogs. I’ll feed, walk, play, and even give your dog a bath if needed. I wake up early everyday to let my dog go outside. And I try to take my dog for walks everyday before dinner. I’m not a busy person so I’m always home ready to take care of the dogs Pets in my house are allowed on furniture and beds. I make sure to vacuum frequently because of the fur. I live in a 3 story house, with plenty of room for my dog and the dog I’m sitting. I live in a suburban development, with a safe route to walk dogs.

About: I’ve taken care of my own pets for as long as i can remember, i’ve had a cats, dogs, fish and turtles.

About: I have been around animals my entire life, however, I certainly have the most experience with caring for cats and dogs as they have lived in my home all this time and still do today! I am currently on summer break for school and therefore I am available any hour of almost every day until school starts back up in the middle of August! When it comes to my own pets, my cats have full access to food as they all have the same diet, and they are additionally fed wet food twice a day. They are also given outdoor time and all of mine are trained to stay around the house and come back inside when prompted! Their litter boxes are cleaned daily, each of them are brushed regularly, etc. When it comes to dogs, my family dog is fed twice a day, taken on walks at least once a day, spends lots of time outdoors, and is groomed routinely. All of these are dependent on owners, but that is how things are done in my house hold specifically!

“Steph was wonderful. Definitely would hire her again!”

About: I live in Indianapolis with my husband and our two cats! We can’t yet afford our own dog, but I always jump at the chance to walk with, jog with, pet, feed, and love on other dogs! (See photos for proof). However, cats really have a special place in my heart. I also worked at two different veterinarian’s offices in 2020, 2023, and 2026 where we cared for dogs, cats, and rabbits. I am pet sitting while job searching, so I’m available to give your pets whatever they may need, whether that be medicine, special food, lots of bathroom breaks, or just some affection. Thanks for reading! I left a corporate job because the strict etiquette rules and micromanagement left me unfulfilled. Now, I am on the hunt for whatever my next step is! To you, this means I am very flexible with scheduling. In my clients’ home, I will pay attention to all notes and requests from the owner. If an owner says “no dogs on the couch”, as much as it pains me, that is what I will follow!
