Dog Walkers in Trafalgar, IN

About: Me (Austin) and my wife Katie are a dog loving couple in Southern Indiana who would love to help out any pet owners in the area! We are flexible with you and your pet! And will work with you to make sure your pet is as happy as possible when you are apart. We would love to do drop in visits/care and take your dog on as many walks as they desire! We are also more than willing to help out with other animals, including cats! We both not only have a passion and love for animals but have broad experience caring for dogs of all kinds and cats as well. I have previously worked in a rescue shelter helping provide short term boarding to dogs coming from bad homes. We have two dogs of our own Max and Mila. Whom we love to shower with love, they’re family! We will take care of your pet the same way you would, and provide you with detailed updates along the way. Thanks for your time! Katie's phone number is listed under the emergency contact! We are working together on this account, more people equals more love for your pets! Both of us work rather flexible jobs, and because of that have the ability to get to pets for care quicker than most. We can fit it into our schedule, and our weekly routine, with relative ease. We provide all the pets we care for a safe and loving environment. We always take it slow around new people and things, particularly kids and other animals.

About: I love dogs! They are so calming and just wonderful creatures! I am very much a dog person and I love them! Dogs make me happy and I know I will make you and your dog happy if you choose me! I have had many dogs personally and loved and cared for all of them. I am available more in the mornings and later at night! I have cared for pets ever since I was young and my love for them just keeps growing and growing! I work with dogs at a doggie daycare and boarding facility! I absolutley love my job. -I am currently only doing virtual or phone call meet and greets. I have a surgery coming up and I can’t risk getting covid. (I am unable to help if you currently have covid or have been exposed) I hope you understand!- *What to expect* I will work with you on a drop-off/pick-up time. There may be a late fee charged if you are more than a few hours late. I also have 2 dogs who are super friendly! Farley is a 7 year old Mini bull terrier, and Callie is an Australian cattle dog, who is a service dog in training. She is about 11 months old. They love playing with other dogs! They go to work with me everyday so they are socialized. I do need to know if your dog is aggressive, this can cause issues! I do not except female dogs in heat. I do not have too much experience with that and I do not want to get my dogs going crazy. If your dog is aggressive towards other dogs or humans, I need to know. If your dog is a chewer, that would be great to know. I have certain toys for them and I do not want furniture chewed up. (yours or mine!) I cannot wait to meet you and your dogs! Dogs are my life and I imagine yours! *I have a Facebook page called "Sit,Stay, home pet sitting" if you prefer to book me through there!" I have two dogs who will keep your fur baby company and make them feel at home. I keep up with your dogs normal schedule, so I do not throw them off. Dogs have a routine and they get upset if you do not keep up with it! haha! I have my own pets to take care of daily and weekly. I would integrate them into my dogs daily routine. I am a dog trainer so it’s no big deal! I care for clients pets like they are their own. I make sure to keep a close eye on their health and what they are doing. I treat them like my babies.

“Lexi did a great job walking our dog. She was on time and very informative. We appreciate all that she did for us, and we will definitely use her again.”

About: I have a master's and bachelor's in animal science and plenty of experience with an array of different animal needs, demeanors, and personalities. Taking care of animals is truly what I love to do. Pet care is built into my routine through daily feeding, walks, playtime, and grooming, plus weekly cleaning and health checks. It provides structure to my day and keeps me active, mindful, and consistent. I care for pets by providing regular feeding, exercise, supervision, and enrichment. Although I don’t have a fenced yard, I use a designated area in my apartment where dogs can safely roam, play, and relax, along with scheduled walks and attentive care.

About: I have experience sitting for dogs from 180lbs to 8lbs. I also have experience caring for multiple dogs in a home or just one dog and am keenly aware of group dynamics. I pride myself on my understanding of dog behavior and body language, and I volunteer at my local rescue so I have been exposed to many different personality types and behaviors. I am comfortable walking rowdy, energetic dogs to dogs with great manners on the lead and dogs of any size (I own a horse, a large puller is no problem!). The top two things that I prioritize are your pup’s safety and ensuring that they have their needs met every single day. I also work from home and am able to keep your dogs routine as normal as possible to reduce any stress. My goal is always to make them feel like they are on their own stay-cation! I truly have your dog’s best interest in mind at all times, and I want to give them the best care that I possibly can. You can always ensure that your dog will be cared for and get the exercise that they need even on days with not-so-pleasant Indiana weather. I currently work from home full time, so I am able to change my schedule around as needed and work around your pets needs completely! Safety is always my number one priority in everything that I do. I pride myself on my ability to make sound decisions, and I will never do anything careless or that could put your pup in danger. I consider myself to be an extremely risk averse person, and always have safety at the front of my mind.

About: I've taken care of all kinds of animals since I was 12 years old and am often told that I am the animal "whisperer"! I love animals and learning each one's personality is my specialty. I have experience in house sitting, dog walking, feeding times, learning what is comfortable with each animal and any medications, along with how each animal prefers to take them! If there are any specific needs that animals prefer or need, I adjust and adapt very easily to those needs. I’m currently discovering what makes me happy! That being said I’m in a stage of my schedule adjusting easily to fit the needs of different animals and schedules! As an animal lover, I can ensure that your babies are treated with respect and love. It is my belief that animals should always have the best treatment regardless of any circumstances. Animals have different personalities and those personalities speak out through their actions. I'm very good at picking up on different personalities such as when they are scared, happy, shy, sad and etc. Not only am I good at picking up on these emotions but I'm trained in reacting in a positive way towards those emotions that will help establish trust and safety. Trust and a safe environment are key to helping with anxiety your animal might have in the time they are not with you!

About: I have worked with dogs my whole life my papa is a dog trainer and currently my dog knows a lot of tricks. She knows sit, stay, leave it, sit pretty, paw, down, roll- over, seek and how to open doors. If you would like I can try to work with your dog on some tricks when I’m there. I am open to anything. I also love running and I was a college runner. I can run with your dog if you would like me to or just take them on walks. I am here for you and I am open to anything. I am currently working from home but I have a few in person meetings in Greenwood for my job. I have a lot of availability and I own a bouvier des Flandres my self. She is my baby and I love animals! I currently have a fenced in yard for my dog. However, I usually like traveling to your home I feel like it’s easier for the animal and they are used to that specific environment. I don’t mind doing walks, drop-in visits or even staying over whatever is easier for you and your pet. :)

About: I've lived with dogs and cats, big and small, since I was five years old. I have a passion for animals of all sorts and I previously worked as a kennel tech for a veterinary office and worked as a dog groomer for several years before my son was born. I’m currently a stay at home mom to my children. I especially love dogs and cats of all sizes and I love being able to work from home taking care of them and helping pet parents know their pets are safe and loved when they’re with me. I'm open to caring for animals of other species as well! I’m experienced in taking care of many different types of animals with different levels of care, such as senior pets, medically needy pets, puppies and kittens, aggressive/reactive pets, as well as exotics. I took a 4 year long veterinary assisting course and I received my CVA (certified veterinary assistant) license in July 2016! I’m a stay at home mom to my children, so I work from home and have pretty open availability to help whenever I’m needed, including weekdays! When caring for someone else’s pets, my main goal is to make sure your pet is happy, healthy and loved. I strive to follow the directions given and keep your pet in a routine they are familiar with, so please don’t hesitate to ask for special requests! For grooming: I have been a professional groomer for several years, plus animal experience as noted above! Please let me know what haircut you would like, your pets’ temperament with grooming, any special requests or concerns you may have during the groom, I am happy to accommodate. I am familiar with most breed specific haircuts and I’m well versed in many different breeds, so please feel free to let me know exactly what your desired haircut looks like! I have open availability as I am a stay at home mom! I’m usually available most days of the week, but may need a couple days to plan, so please shoot me a message and I’ll be happy to get something scheduled! I care for pets as the owners intend me to. I strive to provide a safe and loving environment whether your pet is in my home or yours. When your pet is in my care, rest assured that I am doing everything in my power to keep them happy and healthy :) My schedule can be quite flexible, so please reach out to me to see if we can make something work! I have pretty open availability most days. My goal is to take care of your pet in the same manner that you typically would, so that you can leave them in my care knowing they are loved, safe and cared for as you intend.

“From the moment we met, Lindsey was so attentive and caring. She made sure she knew the details to take care of Mocha the best way she could. She was so sweet and caring that even my 6 year old commented that he knew his sister Mocha was in good hands while we went camping. Mocha is a Pomeranian and she is not the easiest when it comes to getting along with someone new and I wholeheartedly appreciate Lindsey’ s patience to take care of her and gain her trust and willingness to communicate with me. I will trust Lindsey to take care of my baby girl whenever we are out of town or the country.”

About: I absolutely live for pets to get the care they deserve. After all, our pets are part of our family. I have always had family pets and feel like they are an extension of our family.

I provide great service to all my clients when ever they need me to go to their home to care for their furry friends. Allow me the possibility to become an extension of your family. Pet care fits my work schedule because I work part time. I can free my schedule anytime.

They all have a little personality, we just have to take the time to really understand them. Allowing them to be home and comfortable while you are away is the perfect time for you to see.. though the lens of a camera. Enjoy the new video communication!

While I do not have a dog, I can give plenty of tender, love and care for all dogs out there. Taking care of animals is my passion and something I love to do. I believe every animal deserves a wonderful home, food, play time, exercise, treats, and plenty of love! :) I want to give more and I know it will never be enough for me. <3 I’m a full-time teacher, so during the school year I’m available on weekday evenings and fully open on weekends.
