Dog Sitting Wakarusa

About: Hello, my name’s Anna. I have been taking care of dogs since I was 26. My family got a golden doodle several years ago and he has definitely been a joy and a task. Having a dog such as mine has made me more comfortable in my dog caring skills and fairly knowledgeable about what needs dogs have. I’m also very well equipped to handle puppies as I recently got a cocker spaniel several months ago. But given that, my passion for dogs continues to grow. I now as an independent adult have 2 dogs who I’ve had the pleasure of raising as puppies to where they are at now. I work full time but like to stay active and adding furry friends to the mix on my days off is no big task. I would love to see more dog friends and help them socialize and make someone’s life easier. I don’t have a fenced in back yard, but I am capable of taking dogs on as many walks as needed. I am also capable of putting dogs in a crate and preparing them for crating as long as needed.

About: *Please read everything first* Hi y'all !! Thanks for checking me out! So first off love animals lol All of them. So I'm reliable enough to stay at your house if needed so I can provide the best care for your Fur babies. I'm comfortable with all ages of dogs and cats. Guinea pigs, Hamsters, bunnies. If your dog is timid or maybe fear bites I'm patient. I'll do whatever I have to to keep your pets environment as it is when you guys are home. I adapt to the dogs vibe and I follow special directions well for those special ones on special diets. I know how to do things like bathe, brush teeth, clean ears, give medications , etc. I love all animals and I would looove to help take care of your fur babies. Animals are something that I take very serious. I've had pups and kitties of my own almost my whole life and I've had bunnies and guinea pigs. I've also dog sat before. Animals mean a very great deal to me and you really wouldn't go wrong with hiring me. Let's meet so you can learn more about me and get a more clear schedule set up. You can't let just anyone watch your babies!! *PLEASE READ* For dog owners* I am probably best for you on the weekends. I work all hours of the day during the week and can't make any guarantees I'll be off at certain time to let dogs out. All of my care would have to be in the afternoon/nights/early mornings. I'm free all weekends. For cat owners- since cats don't need to be let out multiple times a day, I am good for you. I will be there too feed twice a day and clean litter boxes. At this current moment I do not have my own place therefore I will not be boarding any animals with me. All care will have to be in home stay or check ins.

About: I brought home my first puppy of my own, Tucker, almost 2 years ago! He is my very best bud and I work diligently to make sure I’m raising him right! I love dogs of all sizes and love getting to spend time with them. I’ve attend quite a few dog training sessions to be prepared for certain situations! I’d love to help take care of your pup while you’re away! I work 8-3, but I let my dog out during my lunch break everyday! Your pup won’t be kept inside for more than 4 hours at a time. Once I’m home, I spend lots of time walking my dog or playing outside in the backyard! After doing a meet & greet, I am perfectly comfortable coming to your house to watch over your pups for you! If you would like me to keep them at my house, I would like to do a meet and greet with my own pup to make sure both of them feel comfortable with each other! I have a fenced in backyard and way too many toys!

“Bree was great with my older dog. She was on time every day to let him out and he did well on his own with her help. I would happily call on Bree again for help with Jake.”

About: I managed a pet store for 7 years. Handling dogs helping a groomer. I checked them in for appointments and checked them out for pick ups. Depends on what is needed. I work part time. I also work around my bookings. I’m very flexible. When I dog sit I make it all about the dog and treat them as if they are children. I prefer your home. I care for them by whatever directions or schedule you prefer if there on a routine or not. I love your dogs as if they were mine.

About: Animals have been in my life since I was born. Cats, dogs, rodents, fish... even spiders! I've loved and cared for them all. I'm confident around all pets no matter their size or demeanor Working in education, my summers are always guaranteed off so I have plenty of time for your animals! Mornings, afternoons, evenings...even emergency visits! I can do them all. Including WEEKEND AVAILABILITY Any instructions given about your fur baby will be followed to a T. They are my number one priority and will always be treated as such.

About: I’ve had dogs and cats all my life. I’ve potty trained them, taught them how to walk with a leash, taught them tricks like sit stay and say your prayers, and too many to say. I will spoil your fur babies like I do mine. You would never have any worries while you’re away they will be in good hands. I love and enjoy being around dogs and or cats. I’d send you videos and or pictures of your fur baby. Some owners have their fur babies on a schedule if so I will do the same. if there is a park nearby I’d probably take them there. But first I would ask the owner what they would like me to do sense it is their pet. I'm retired so I'm flexible. My routine is the fur babies routine. I'd like to keep it that way for them, so I would need to know. I have a fenced in yard, not big for big dogs tho. They will be fed, played with and cuddled. If they need to be caged I have a large one for their comfort.

“Kimberlee was very communicative and reliable! She took great care of Linus and made sure he was doing well with his food, water and litter box. Would definitely rebook!”

Im a avid dog walker, i enjoy running with my dogs and others, taking them on mile walks are always fun. I give my dogs a-lot of exercise we hit the dunes and beaches for walked through the summer.

About: I have taken care of dogs ever since I was a child. I am new to the area and would love to have some canine warmth in my life. Currently missing my dogs who live with my parents. One is a pure bred border terrier, Sadie, and the other is a mutt from the pound, Charlie. I moved to the area for graduate school. I have classes throughout the week and would be able to care for pets before and after classes. I have another part-time gig as a soccer trainer, which doesn't take up more than 2-3 hours a day. I live in an apartment with a dog park. There are also trails around my complex. I do not have anything like crates or cages in my unit for dogs.

About: I have been catering for dogs ever since I was young. I am hardworking, flexible, and love animals. I am a responsible student who is majoring in nursing. I am willing to put the work in. I am currently a studen. My open days are Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Saturday. On Wednesday and Friday I can do evening. I am pretty flexible. I live on a lot of land, have a big backyard and another dog to keep your pet company. I would be available to crate the dog if needed

About: I am currently unavailable until April 8th, 2020 due to a study service trip with Goshen College. Feel free to contact me, but know you will not receive a response until April 8th. Thank you for understanding. I have no professional experience with dog care, however I have cared for numerous pets over the last 15 years of my life (I'm 21 now) and have loved every bit of it. I am looking to get some extra cash by doing something I love while in college. I love taking dogs to the park to play for hours and then snuggling up with them later because they are so tired. It's my favorite thing to do is tire a dog out so much that all it does is want to sleep later (kind of like a kid, haha). Really just looking for an excuse to spend time with animals. Professionally speaking, I am a student in college studying Sociology and Psychology. I am a part time lifeguard/supervisor, a swim coach, and part time data and research assistant at a local nonprofit organization. I anticipate a Spring 2020 graduation

“Roy is a true angel. It was a last minute booking and with power outages it was a crazy chaotic week. He went above and beyond with the girls!”

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs and cats since my sophomore year in high school! I’ve never had an issue with a pet and love being able to help :) I’m currently on my summer break so I would like my availability to be Monday- Friday and I can make exceptions on weekends for emergencies :) I have a fenced in yard but prefer to care for your pet in the comfort of your own home as I think that makes meeting and interacting with your pet much easier and comfortable!

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, friends and family have relied on me to take care of their animal’s majority of their animals lives I am certainly unemployed and have lots of time with take care and spend time with your furry friends while I am home for the summer!! Love taking care of animals especially dogs, normally goes on runs and love going on walks enjoying the few summer months we have here in Indiana

“Was very happy with Stephan. He took care of Maddie and sent updates everyday with pictures. Thanks!”

About: I am a certified animal lover! I have cared for friends’, family’s, and co-worker’s dogs, including over night and extended stays. I worked as a volunteer at Pet Refuge for over 2 years, where we assisted with enrichments, walks, feeding, medication administration, etc., for dogs of all ages, sizes, and breeds. In my experience in pet and child care, I care for them like they are my own! ❤️ And with that being said, you can have peace of mind knowing I am making sure all needs are met and paying attention to every detail! I currently work Monday-Friday, 9am-5pm. So, as of now, I am free only in the evening or on the weekends. HOWEVER, come mid-June I will no longer have that time commitment and will be free thoughout the daytime as well. I have been a babysitter for the same family for 10 years. I have done many overnights in their home over the years, which also has included taking care of their Shiba inus! Not only have I taken care of their 5 kids and 3 dogs, but I’ve also either baby, dog, or house sat for their parents and siblings, which I believe is a testament to the respect and quality care I strive to provide.

About: I can't help but attempt to nurture every animal I come across, from a baby squirrel to adopting my former streetcat (Iroh). In addition to housesitting, catsittting, and dogsitting for a number of people in Indianapolis, just in this past year alone, I've also taken upon the responsibility of self-fostering 3 kittens. Recently, I finished 5 months of bathing/grooming training experience through Petco. This past experience has taught me the importance of pet safety and taught me much about dog care and health, from regular bathing to nutrition. I've taken care of several different species of pets in the past 15 years, including several in/outdoor cats, a rabbit, two hamsters, a chameleon, and a former family Labrador Retriever. Since I was young, I've had a large amount of compassion and consideration for all living critters and creatures. I now spend much my time commiting to reading and research about dogs, cats, and other animals. My experience, multiple-species expertise, and unconditional care creates a space where your pet is not only looked after, but loved on. Being a total free-spirit, I currently possess a large amount of flexibility and an open calendar. Especially around those family holidays. I can offer what few others can in this moment, time, intentionality and availability in pet care. 🗓️✨ As a current cat parent myself, I appreciate when I know my cat is in good hands. This not only relieves my stress, but his as well. I can return to preparing for my trip, meeting, or holiday prep worry-free. I have firsthand experience placing my pet's care into another's hands. It took so much much trial, error, and good luck before I settled on a small roster of people who look out for my baby just as well as I can. My fur child deserves to be just as safe and comfortable in his living arrangements as I am in mine, no matter where I am. Finding that type of care is no small feat either. Assuaging my worries (and his) on top of everything else that traveling demands, can really be the cherry on the top of my stress-out sundae. If you resonate with some of these concerns, then I may be the pet sitter for you. I will read the list of your special care instructions AND follow through on their necessities to soothe your nerves and those of your pet. Given the opportunity, I'd love to be a companion they can count on for meals, play/fun times, walks, and any other special activities you share with your little one. Meanwhile, allowing you to relax and lean into your confidence that your pet is in great hands. So, let me do what is necessary to remedy, not only your anxiety, but your pet's as well. I'd love to be the person for you and your companion. 🤓📝

“We are so appreciative of the time and effort Natalee put into watching our cats. I was particularly impressed and happy with how she treated our cats with very different personalities differently, which made each of them feel more comfortable. She was also really fast with communication through the whole process, from meeting the cats to her last visit.”
