Dog Walking Strawtown

About: As a passionate dog lover with years of experience, I provide a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for your furry friends. I send a photo and brief update of your dog’s day every day of their stay so you can rest assured that they are cared for and having a good time! My personalized approach includes tailored walks, playtime, and plenty of cuddles, ensuring your pets feel loved and secure while you're away. I treat every dog like family, giving them the attention and care they deserve! I am available for boarding every day of the week and I accept most last minute bookings. I am also available for dog walking on weekdays after 4pm! I have a friendly puppy to keep your fur baby company and a fenced in yard for your dog to run free and play in. I have a lot of crate training experience and if you prefer, I can crate your pet according to your schedule. I keep a very clean and dog safe home, and have complimentary treats upon request.

About: Hi! I’m Jenn! I worked for more than 10 years at a local animal hospital as a receptionist and vet assistant. I have more than 20 years experience in the animal care field between volunteering and my career. I have regular pet sitting clients and am looking to expand upon that. I was the proud mama of two fur babies in my adult life and had lots and lots of pets growing up. I offer boarding and daycare in my home and can also do daily visits in yours. I have experience with dogs and cats of every age, size and breed. I have years of experience administering medications, both oral and injectable. I have cared for my own insulin dependent pet and currently care for many of my clients aging and/or ill pets. I would absolutely love to meet your fur baby! I work from home and my schedule is flexible. I do not have any pets of my own and there are no children living here. I am able to do leash walks multiple times a day as well as scheduled feedings and medication administration. I also have an invisible fence around the entire house and can use my collar (so it is the right frequency) for those pets who are already trained. My home also has a video/security system for added safety for all. I treat all my pet sitting fur babies like family! My four-legged guests have free reign of the house, except the upstairs bedrooms, and are welcome to sit with me and cuddle while we watch TV. 🐾

“Kathryn is AMAZING! We booked last minute for dog walking because we were nervous to use a service for our somewhat reactive dog for the first time. She came to meet them the next day before we left on our trip and brought treats to greet our dogs gently and calmly. They LOVED walking with her each day and my mom really appreciate some extra support to get their energy out each day. She let us know when she was on her way, left notes about how the walks went, and included pictures of the dogs sniffing away. We are so glad we chose Kathryn and will absolutely book again next time we need pet care.”

“Joshua accepted my last-minute booking after I had to go out of town expectedly and weathered the freezing cold to ensure my furry fella got a nice walk in. He was kind and respectful. Such a lifesaver!”

About: I have dog sat my entire life, in home stays and daily visits. Cats have been my world recently and I have had several dogs since I was born including my soul dog. All animals are a friend of mine! I love pets of all shapes, sizes, and abilities. I had a senior cat for several years and am very comfortable with any additional medication or needs your pet may have! I am currently working from home, so I am able to accommodate most pet care requests! I do have my own dog I have to check in on once a weekday, usually around midday. I have cat and dog sat in home. Both as full time and drop-in. I am comfortable with whatever and happy to assist! My current house has a fenced in yard.

About: I’ve had dogs all my life and know how to love and care for each of your pets while you are away. While I do not have any professional dog experience, I’ve had dog in my family since the day I was born and had owned my own dog for about 10 years until she recently passed away. Dogs my family has had were a mutt, three Labradors, Golden Retriever, and a Belgian Malinois. The pet I recently had was a mix of a Labrador and German Short-haired Pointer. I had been to training classes recently for about 3 years as well. I have pet sit cats and lived with cats in the past so I would know how to care for a feline. I will make sure to be very professional, care, and love your pet as if they were my own. Looking for services inside or outside of my home. I currently work full time in Carmel Monday-Friday 8am to 4:30pm and typically have nights and weekends free. I am looking to become more active (I had a senior dog with no ability to walk) so physical activity is welcomed! I have a fenced in yard and walking trails throughout my community. No additional pets. I can easily crate your pet with a collapsible travel crate.

About: Hello, my name is Hailey! I currently work full-time through the week (Sun-Thurs 10-6) and am looking to make extra cash doing what I love - spending time with dogs! I previously have worked at a dog boarding center in Whitestown, Indiana, making me suitable to take care of your pet, whether it be feeding, exercising, or even medicating them for you while you’re away at work, traveling, whatever the case may be! While I have experience with all kinds of animals, currently I have two large breed dogs, an Australian Shepherd mix who is 6 years old and an Alaskan Malamute who is 7 years old! Both are dog and people friendly, so your dog can have a playmate, or we can arrange your pet to have space to him/herself if necessary! As I have worked for a business that is used to various pets having various needs, I will do my best to accommodate you in any way necessary! I also am used to working with cats (as the dog boarding also has a cat portion as well) so I am more than happy to help your feline friends, too! Hope to see you soon! I have open availability outside of Sun-Thurs 10-6. I work hard to make sure that I am transparent about the time I have to spend with your pets! I have a lot of experience watching other people’s pets, as well as being a lifelong owner of dogs. I love all breeds and ages!

About: I’ve have been a dog owner for over 15 years. I have taken care of animals as young as a puppy and senior dogs. I have also cared for small animals. I work from home on Mondays. I do work in office Tuesday through Friday but home on the weekends with full availability. I do have help at home so someone is always present to take dogs out to potty! My dogs do have a fenced in backyard and can run and play. I can walk dogs if needed. I also can take care of fish and small animals. I have two Guinea pigs at home!

About: Dedicated dog sitter with 10+years of experience providing reliable and attentive care. I offer walking, feeding, and overnight stays, ensuring your pet is safe and happy while you're away. Available for last-minute bookings. I work at an after hours vet hospital, opposite schedules with my husband so there is always someone home to make sure your pet is taken care of during their stay.

About: Hi, I'm Gabbi! I'm a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for dogs, cats, and everything in between. Whether it’s a long walk, playtime, or just good company while you're away, I treat every pet like my own. I'm reliable, attentive, and dedicated to keeping your pets happy, safe, and loved. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member! I am currently working in a school, which gives me much more time to be fully attentive for pet care especially on days when I am on school breaks! My goal is adapt to the pets needs whether they are used to going on long walks, lounging around the house, etc. to make them feel as comfortable as possible.

About: Ever since I was 10, I would take care of the neighbor's or my family's pets while out of town. I would socialize with them and I would clean up after them as well! I have minimal grooming experience! I grew up with a seizure-prone dog. I am very aware of dogs with special needs and being reactive. My family is full of rescue dogs that all have their struggles. I have a medicated dog and understand routines are important!! I was attacked by food-aggressive dogs as a baby and yet here I am still in love with animals because it's not their fault. I have learned so much growing up with animals. I have owned two bunnies and a couple of fish and reptiles ie had friends with other pets than cats and dogs!! I am currently a stay-at-home mom to a two-month-old baby girl, and I see one family at noon for drop in visits and have open availability!! I have dealt with reactive dogs so I know how to keep them separate but happy! I like giving treats to dogs so teaching some tricks can happen along the way. I like to watch TV with pets and take them outside. I used to own bunnies and would make them little salads. I also know how to give medications to dogs as well!

“Seamless. Awesome job. Will book again.”

About: I participated in a veterinary career program and was involved in 4-H, where I gained hands-on experience caring for animals. I am currently working at a doggy daycare and training facility in Elkhart, where I help supervise, care for, and work with dogs in a group environment. I’m currently attending dog grooming school and will be in class from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. each day, focusing on grooming techniques and animal care. I am available before and after those hours. When I arrive at your home, I'll leash your dog for bathroom breaks, especially since we're just getting to know each other. This helps ensure they don't run off. If you have a secure fence, I won't need to use a leash. Plus, I'll send you daily videos and photos of your dog or cat while I'm caring for them!

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.

“Kelsi stepped in for us at EXTREME short notice and our pup loved spending time with her! We would definitely book her again!”

About: I’ve had pets my entire life and currently care for two cats and a 13-year-old black lab, so I understand the different needs pets have at every stage of life. Caring for a senior dog has given me experience with daily medications, supplements, patience, and maintaining consistent routines to keep pets comfortable and happy. I also have experience pet sitting for friends and family, and I always treat every pet like they’re my own. I’m dependable, attentive, and focused on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I recently graduated from PA school and have a flexible summer schedule while preparing for my certification exam and pending licensure. This gives me plenty of availability to dedicate time and attention to pet care throughout the day. I’m reliable, organized, and able to accommodate a variety of routines, whether that includes walks, drop-ins, feedings, or simply keeping pets company and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all instructions closely, make sure pets are fed, walked, and cared for on schedule, and give them plenty of attention and comfort while you’re away. I also keep the space clean and make sure everything is secure so you can feel at ease knowing your pets and home are in good hands.
