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: I am a huge animal lover! I have been caring for animals all my life. I have experience working with puppies all the way up to seniors. I do work a full time job during the day but available to play before work and all evening after. I am open on weekends I have a big fenced in yard to romp and play in. There are two dogs who reside here who are friendly and love to play.

About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember and have experience caring for pets for many families. I’ve owned a large dog myself, so I’m comfortable handling bigger breeds as well as dogs with different personalities and energy levels. I’ve cared for senior dogs that needed extra patience and attention, administered oral medications, taken dogs on walks, and made sure they felt safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners were away. I understand that every dog has unique needs, and I enjoy getting to know each one’s routine and personality. I also enjoy learning about dog grooming and pet care, and I’ve spent time researching proper grooming techniques and overall canine health to better care for the pets I watch. My goal is to take care of every dog extremely well while you’re away. I’ll provide plenty of love, playtime, exercise, and regular photo updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. My goal is to help your dog stay as comfortable as possible while you are away. I am currently working from home which allows me to be very flexible with my hours, especially this summer to help accommodate your pets’ regular routines. I am available for morning, afternoon, and evening check-ins on most weekdays and weekends as well. I am currently accepting dog walking, drop in visits and boarding with consultation. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I understand that every dog has unique needs, routines, and personalities, so I take the time and attention to learn what makes them feel most comfortable. During every visit, I’ll carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, and any special care your pet needs. I’m attentive on walks, always making sure leashes and harnesses are secure and avoiding situations that could make your dog uncomfortable or unsafe. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. My goal is to treat every dog with the same love, patience, and respect that I would want for my own pet.

About: Hi! I'm a lifelong dog lover who has grown up around dogs my entire life. I currently have two Rhodesian Ridgebacks at my family home that each weigh over 120 pounds, so I'm very comfortable handling large, energetic breeds as well as dogs of all sizes. I've always enjoyed spending time with animals, whether that's going on walks, playing outside, or simply giving them plenty of attention and companionship (I love to cuddle with dogs). Growing up, I regularly babysat and cared for my neighbors' dogs whenever they were away, which taught me how important it is to provide dependable, loving care while owners are gone. I understand that every dog has their own personality and routine, and I always do my best to make them feel comfortable, safe, and happy. Whether you need someone to walk your dog, stop by for drop-in visits, or house sit while you're away, I'll treat your house and pets like they're my own. I'm reliable, communicative, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I'd love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family members! Pet care fits easily into my schedule because I work remotely and have a very flexible work routine. I'm available for morning, afternoon, evening walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting, allowing me to provide dependable care whenever it's needed. I always follow each pet's normal routine to help them feel comfortable and safe. Whether I'm in your home or caring for your pet during a walk or drop-in visit, I'll make sure they have plenty of attention, exercise, fresh food and water, and lots of love. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages if you want so you can have peace of mind while you're away.

About: I’ve grown up around all animals and have experience for caring with pets of all ages. I have experience with my own personal animals as well as with family and friends animals. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playing, maintaining a safe and comfortable environment, and can guarantee lots of attention! I’m dependable, patient, and will treat your pets like my own! Im a current student, and I’m available for midday walks and drop-in visits from around 11 AM–1 PM during the week. On Fridays, I’m available after 11 AM, and I have open availability on weekends and can do overnight stays! I’m happy to work with your pet’s normal routine and can be flexible when possible! Comfort and safety are my top priorities! I have two golden retrievers and two cats, and also have a fenced in yard. I’ll follow any instructions you provide regarding feeding, routines, medications, walks, or other care. I’m respectful of both your pet and your home, and I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention while keeping you updated during each visit.

“Joe is helping me out big time with my baby Joey. I am using him recurringly so Joey can get some exercise midday. I would highly recommend. Joey looks forward to going on walks with Joe.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since was was 12 years old. I’ve adopted two dogs, one from a rescue and the other from Indianapolis Animal Care Services. (Both have crossed the rainbow bridge.) I volunteered with Every Dog Counts Rescue for 5 years, volunteered with The Humane Society of Hamilton County and volunteer with Indianapolis Animal Care Services. I also worked at 4 Paws Lodge in Fishers for approximately a year. I also dogsit for friends and family members every so often. I work full time Monday - Friday for a law firm in downtown Indy (I’m remote on Thursdays.) (I leave for work around 7am and don’t get home until 5:15pm). I’m in culinary school as well and have class this semester on Mondays/Tuesdays 5:30-10:20. Other than working and school, I’m very much a homebody. Despite having a busy schedule, spending time with my furry friends is one of my favorite things to do. I’ve cared for multiple dogs within numerous homes, many times. I just make sure everyone gets as much love and affection as often as they want!

About: Introducing… Freida’s Adventures and More!! I’m all about giving pups the best days possible, with lots of love, fun, and just enough enrichment activity to make sure they’re happily tired by bedtime. Dogs bring so much joy into our lives, and I love giving that right back to them. I’ve been a dog mom pretty much my whole life and have been the go-to pet sitter for friends, family, and neighbors for over 15 years. Whether we’re taking a casual walk, hanging out for belly rubs, or working on helping a reactive pup feel more confident, I bring patience, kindness, and a good sense of humor every time. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities. Right now I’m raising a Rottweiler puppy named Freida (my big goofy sidekick) along with our rescue mix, Fenny. I also have experience with reactive pups, senior dogs, and dogs who need meds or a little extra support. My background in social services as a case manager helps me stay calm and communicative, even when pups (or their humans!) are feeling a little anxious. I really value the trust pet parents put in me and love working together to make sure their dog feels safe, loved, and understood. If you’re looking for someone who’ll treat your dog like family… I’m your person! :) This is my full time job so I will be able to care for your pet full time and meet their needs during their stay. I am also flexible when it comes to drop in visits and dog walking needs. For dog walking and drop in visits, I prefer to meet in their home environment for a short visit to get to know them. For dog boarding, I have two friendly and well socialized, crate trained dogs and two cats. My home is "puppy-proofed", but I would appreciate knowing if your pet has any behavior risk areas that we can plan for. My cats are separated into another space of my home that dogs will not have access to. Your dog will be supervised at all times when I am home and separated in different areas or their crate (if they're crate trained) when I am not home. Let’s schedule a meet and greet with our dogs to meet yours to make sure we are a good fit for all!

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. 🐾

About: I’ve been walking dogs for as long as I can remember. I’ve had countless dog sitting jobs and want to further it and continue doing something I love I work Sunday through Wednesday at our local humane society! I have experience with dogs and cats and other types of pets including small animals and large animals. I am very flexible even on the days I work. I have one dog who is extremely with every kind of dog and loves everyone and everything. Accommodations can be made to watch your pets.

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: 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.

“Alexis has been great! Always on time, makes the most out of the walking sessions, and my dog is happy during the days in her care! 10/10 highly recommend”

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 worked with dogs of all breeds since I was younger. Family, and friends have relied on me to help house sit, walk, play dates, and take their animals to day care. I’m currently in school online, but I am available to spend time walking the animals during the week and on the weekend. I can’t wait to meet your fur baby! I do not have a fenced in yard, living on a huge property that they are allowed to run, but if your dog is an inside animal I am willing to bring him/her to my home. I have two friendly playful dogs of my own, they are a Golden Doodle, and a German Shorthaired Pointer. I am also willing to spend time at your home playing and walking your animals as well. I am willing to do play dates inside and outside.

About: I have had dogs and cats virtually my whole life. I am very experienced in feeding, giving pills, taking pets outside, etc. I have worked at Fishers Veterinary Hospital for a little under a year now as part of the patient care team. I am heading off to IU in the fall to major in Biology with a Pre-Vet track. I would love to help care for your pets! I currently work part-time at a veterinary hospital and receive my schedule a month in advance. Because of this, I can usually plan ahead and provide reliable availability. Feel free to reach out with your dates, and I’ll be happy to let you know if I’m available! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. Through my experience working at a veterinary hospital, I have learned how to recognize signs of stress, illness, or discomfort and how to handle animals calmly and safely. I will carefully follow all feeding, medication, and care instructions and provide updates so you can feel confident while you’re away. I treat every pet with patience, compassion, and the same level of care I would want for my own pets.
