Dog Walking in Terre Haute

About: Greetings! My name is Cassie, and I am a self-proclaimed crazy corgi mom. I have had dogs of my own for 14 years (corgis named Camden and Savannah), and cats for over 20 years. I also worked at a veterinary clinic from age 16 to 20 - full disclosure, I was a receptionist, not a vet tech. However, my time there has helped develop my comfort with furry friends of all sizes. I have no fear of any breeds. I have worked with Great Danes, Mastiffs, Rottweilers, Pitt Bulls, GSD, and more. I am a military veteran with a law enforcement background. I know how nerve-wracking inviting a stranger into your home to take care of your loved ones. Trust is earned, and I hold myself to a high standard. My day job has very flexible hours during the summer, so I have plenty of availability during the day to help care for your pets. I have taken care of dogs who needed oral medication and sub-dermal injections. I am also comfortable giving insulin to cats, though not oral medication (unless liquid). I work for ISU, so during the summer, I have a very flexible schedule. As long as I have time to take care of my own dogs (a senior and puppy), I am available to assist folks with their own pets. There are several things I consider when walking dogs: 1) Familiarity of the area for your dog / their anxiety (if any) - If your dog is anxious, I don't want to take them to areas they are not comfortable. This is especially true when they do not know me well yet. I'd rather do several laps near the home than stress them out. 2) Weather - It's hot out there. I will stick to walks on grass whenever possible to ensure their paws are not damaged by hot concrete. On particularly hot days, I would prefer to keep the walk short, followed by play inside. 3) Traffic in the area - Safety first!

“Thankful for Abigail. She made sure my Sky dog had plenty of water and always turns my alarm back on when the walk is complete. She is easy to communicate with over text and I love seeing the pictures of Sky before and after the walks.”

About: I understand how important it is to have someone you trust with your pets, so I do my best to give them a fun, engaging experience. Whether it's a stroll around the neighborhood or cuddles and playtime, I treat every pet like my own. Services I Offer: Drop-in Visits: If you're away for a few hours or a few days, I’ll stop by to check on your pets, feed them, clean their litter box, and give them extra cuddles. I'm comfortable with cleaning messes and giving most medications. Dog Walking: I’ll make sure your pup gets their daily dose of exercise and fun. Whether they’re big or small, new or vintage, energetic or chill, I’ll adjust the walk to suit their needs. Cat Sitting: I’ll make sure your feline friend is well fed, entertained, and comfortable while you're away. I’m great at giving that purrrfect chin scratch! I’d love to meet you and your pets! Feel free to reach out if you have any questions, or if you’d like to set up a meet and greet. I work full time but I can do drop ins and walks around 7 am, 12 pm, and 5 pm on weekdays. I am available most weekends as needed. When I care for pets in my clients' homes, I make sure to treat the space like my own. I always stick to the established routines your pets are used to, from feeding times to playtime and naps. I ask you for details about your pet’s favorite activities, spots they like to hang out, and any quirks they may have so I can make sure they're comfortable and happy. I make sure to spend quality time with them, whether it's cuddling, playing, or just being there to keep them company. I understand how unsettling it can be for pets when their owners are away, so I prioritize offering reassurance and comfort. I always keep the house safe and secure for your pets, making sure they’re in a good environment. If there are any specific rules or boundaries you have (like keeping them out of certain rooms or areas), I follow them to the letter. Each pet is unique, so I’ll follow any special care instructions you give me, like specific feeding schedules, medication needs, or any preferences they have. If your pet has any special needs, I’m happy to provide extra attention to make them feel as comfortable as possible. I keep pet parents updated with photos and text updates during my visits. This way, you can rest easy knowing how your pets are doing. I always let you know if there’s anything unusual or important happening while I’m there, but I also want you to enjoy your time away without stress. I clean up after your pets, whether it’s cleaning litter boxes for cats or wiping down paws after walks. I make sure their living space stays clean and tidy, just like you’d expect. I’m there to make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and happy, and to keep your home exactly how you left it!

About: I have taken care of multiple sizes and types of dogs since I was a child. We had a dog of our own at our house which I was responsible for walking and taking care of. I also used to take care of my uncle’s shih-tzu on weekends or overnight when I was in high school. Upon starting college, I volunteered frequently at shelters and volunteer organizations where I was able to spend time with all sorts of animals and continue being by dogs. I lived in Minneapolis for the last year and watched multiple large dogs as well as house sitting and drop in visits. I fell in love very quickly with this heart-centered business. I just moved back to Terre Haute and don’t yet have a dog of my own, and I would love to help out and spend time with all of your furry friends. I am currently a full-time student in medical school, but I am home most of the day studying. I believe walking is a hugely important part of a dog and a human’s routine. I love to be outside playing or exploring with my own dog and would love to share the adventure with your pet as well. I am also a lover of grooming meaning I can give a bath and clip nails, but I can’t say I’m the best with scissors. I love quality time with pets as well and will always provide respect and love towards the animal and YOU :) I am a full time medical student, but I spend most of my time at home studying. I am available most times and very flexible. I have a back yard and large side lot. The front of the home is not fenced in. I go on 3-4 walks a day with my furry friends and make sure to give lots of attention and cuddles.

About: I am looking to pet sit a dog/cat on the regular each week. I go to school at Coastal Carolina University, making it hard to find a part time job with my schedule being kind of wacky while only being here for the summer. I own 2 cats and a dog and I’ve had animals all my life. I have always had a huge passion for them. I am actually going to college to become an aquatic vet. Making this my main job while i’m home over the summer is my goal, as well as providing the best care and experience for your pets. Animals have a huge impact on me and I really think they are such a special blessing in life I am home for the summer until August and am pretty much available anytime considering i’m trying to make this my main source of income while here! I am able to board animals in my home! We have a fenced yard and no young children. We have had animals our whole life so I am very used to raising/taking care of pets

About: I am a retired nurse with 44 years of experience taking care of patients, but also have cared for pets throughout my adult life. I am active and able to care for your special family member. I am retired and have a very flexible schedule including the ability for overnight care, early mornings, or late evenings. I live on the south side of Terre Haute with reliable transportation. I enjoy taking my pets for walks, even during the cool temperatures. I like to talk to and play with my pets. I love dogs and their interactions with humans. I have a very caring heart and a strong love for dogs.

“Thank you so much for answering so quickly and being understanding with all the information I threw at you!!!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs, cats, chickens, horses, cows, you name it my entire life. I’ve had small dogs such as chihuahuas and as big as English mastiffs. I’ve dealt with giving dogs medication and bathing for medical reasons. I’m currently working part time for a few hours a day. I will be home 90% of the day to be able to care for your pets! I have a five year old husky mix who is the sweetest baby. She follows me everywhere. She is crate trained and goes out without a leash. I would do whatever was needed to make sure your animal is in a safe environment and well taken care of.

About: I have been around animals my entire life! I grew up with multiple dogs, a cat, and goats! I currently have a dog named Blaire and 2 cats named Annabelle and Sidney who are my babies. To top off the craziness I also have over 10 reptiles at home who are soiled rotten. I am a full time car salesman at Terre Haute CDJR but I promise I have plenty of time to help care for your babies! Luckily with my job I have plenty of opportunities to leave if I need to so it won’t be an issue when it comes to caring for your pets. I try to provide the best possible environment for all pets that I am caring for! Whether that’s finding the perfect toy or simply helping them run off some energy I’m more than happy to do it :)

“Haley was great with our crazy puppy Simba! She walked him even in the rain when we needed to get some energy out of him! Highly recommend Haley for your dog services!”

About: I've taken care of pets since I was very young, and as an athlete I'm always looking for more excuses to get out of the house, expecially when it involves animals. I'm currently working a very flexible part time job, so it's likely that I'm available most if not the whole day. I mostly work friday nights coaching for my volleyball club, otherwise I'm open! I take direction very well, and can work with any schedule to fit in walks or house visits! If your looking for a day sitter I can work on my laptop between playing with your pets!

About: I have worked with a variety of dogs of all breeds. I've worked as a trainer, I've worked with families on dog introductions to the family, getting dogs used to other dogs to release tension. Dogs are either friends or family so I believe you treat then as such. Love is all they need to get them to the best friend and dog they can be. We believe in positive reinforcements. Although I'm 25 I received my first dog on my 5th birthday. She was a rescue pitbull she was the best dog ever. Then later adopted a Rottweiler when I was 13. Both dogs bonded immediately and became best friends as well as being my best friends. I will make sure to treat your dog as my best friends as well showering them with love.

About: I have always had a huge appreciaton for dogs. I find it awesome that you can train dogs to help people in the world such as police dogs and service dogs. I love dogs of all different shapes and sizes. I have helped family and friends take care of their dogs while they had errands or were going out of town. I will follow any rules you have to take care of your loving animal. I will accept any dog into my home and take them on walks and make sure they have their potty breaks and make sure they’re being fed according to a schedule you may or may have not set. I will make sure your furry friend is comfortable and happy while you’re away. I’m currently not working so taking care of animals and being surrounded by animals is always ideal! I love meeting new cute animals and making new friends! I make sure that the animal is very well fed and cared for. The animal will most of the time have my undivided attention and love.

About: Hello! My name is Anna and I am an absolute animal lover! I have two cats and one dog and I am smitten with them daily! I have a very home-based career where I can be there when I need to be or come to you. My kids are getting older and I am looking to fill my time with lots of cuddles and experiencing new pets in my home! I genuinely just enjoy them being here and am ready to sit for you! My schedule is very flexible so I always feed, water and walk my animals before I start work and all throughout the day we go on walks and hang out. I have a big privacy fenced in backyard where my animals can run and play safely. I spend a lot of time outdoors with them. My pets are a must every single day just like my children. Always fresh water and never without. My pets and your pets are always well maintained, fed, and cared for! They will be watched and returned to you safely. I have very happy animals in my home!
