“Our family has been blessed with Tara! We could not be more grateful for how well she took care of our family of furry kiddos! Tara was extremely flexible with our changing schedule and ensured she gave extra attention to our kiddos when she came over and provided thorough report cards lol. We even found a box of treats that she had brought over for the pups! I felt confident about everything and didn’t worry about anything at all. Thank you, Tara!”

“Bree went above and beyond when we had an emergency on our vacation far from home. Recommend her heartily (make sure to leave a nice tip if she has to climb through your window).”

About: A home away from home for your pet children. Think of it as "GrandMa & Paws Paws" Bed & Breakfast. I've been blessed to retire early after an extensive career in different areas, one being prior work experience in the pet industry. I had plenty of experience with veterinarian offices throughout NE Indiana. But, the favorite titles I wear proudly are mom and dog mom and wife to my husband. Throughout the years I've had my heart full of animals -dogs being my speciality and of all sizes, breeds and characteristics. I am dependable, reliable and honest. And I’m easy to communicate with. I have been blessed to retire early after an extensive career in different areas, one being prior work in the pet care industry with plenty of trainings with several veterinarian clinics throughout NE Indiana. Your pet kid will be monitored 24/7 inside my home and outside of my home. As I do this with my own pet children. Throughout the years I've had my heart full of animals - dogs being my speciality of all sizes and breeds. While, also having some of the best cats in the mix of my dogs I care for them with all my background knowledge I've learned over the years of caring for and loving my dog babies. My home is always nice and tidy and so is my backyard. I keep their environment very tidy. I have a fenced in yard. My two dogs are never unsupervised during rain, snow or heat. I guess you would call me a helicopter pet parent. I do have nice kennels with bedding.
“I had Linda as a regular checking in on mila (my dog). She was always so gentle with her and promptly updated river card with details. She communicates really well and I always felt safe having Linda drop in to take Mila out. I highly recommend her to anyone”

“We love Hannah! She is reliable, consistent, and prioritizes availability. She is also an excellent communicator, and our dog, Bella, loves her!! We are SO grateful for Hannah and know Bella will be well taken care of with her!”

“Lisa was great with our girls! Lucy required alot of special feeding and medication care which Lisa did well. Lucy is also very skittish with new people and, by day 2 she LOVED Lisa!! Would definitely request her services again and highly recommend!!”

About: I, Carter and my mother Mindy, have been pet owners our entire lives. We have experience with young, adult, and senior dogs. Along with experience in administering certain types of medications, and our house is blind dog friendly thanks to indoor gates and a fenced in and safe backyard. We’ve recently lost our last dog and don’t plan to get another animal companion, but we love to help people care for their furry companions temporarily as a way to give back to the same people who did such for us when we were pet owners. Mindy works from home and loves to work outside in her garden, which would mean a lot of outside time for your pet in our fenced in backyard. Carter is around more in the mornings and nights meaning if your animal is a “night owl” they shall still be cared for round the clock. We have a designated area for food and water in our house, along with many toys and bones from throughout the years. We are in a very safe neighborhood with a fenced in backyard and lots of room to run. Any animals living with us will always be treated with kindness and a sense of belonging no matter the duration of their stay!
“Melinda was good with the drop-in visits! Super kind and made sure my pet was well taken care of. I really appreciated the updates and pictures after each visit—it gave me peace of mind while I was away. My pet seemed comfortable and happy when I got home. I’d book with Melinda again and feel good knowing my pet is in good hands.”

“Tonie was amazing! Super nice and very flexible! It really made me feel better knowing she could help me get my pup out for some exercise and socializing while I was at work!! I would definitely ask her to help out again!”

“My mind was put at ease with Brianna taking care of my boy. She is respectful, her communication is great and I can tell she really does love dogs! Definitely recommend her!”

“Stephanie went above and beyond to make sure Odie had the best time while I was away at work for a week. She was flexible and accommodated last minute changes, she cleaned up after his messes and just did an amazing job. Thank you so much for all you’ve done for Odie and I!”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life, been through training with two of them. Currently have a 3 year old and 11 year old so I get the senior portion and high energy. I’m a hairstylist so it’s very easy to create my own schedule or not work certain days or be able to break away for potty breaks or emergencies I don’t have children so I treat mine like they are. We go on lots of walks, lots of play time and snuggles. I like to stick to schedules as I know it’s good for them to act correctly.

“Leah and Clint are AMAZING!! They take such good care of our baby girl and are very attentive! They sent updated everyday to let me know what was going on. HIGHLY recommend!!”

About: I've cared for old, young, mean, sweet, and any kind of animal in every circumstance. My boss is a licensed vet tech and has taught me many tips and tricks. I care for family members pets, my boss's pets, and have had many pets of my own. I still care for them on a weekly, if not daily, basis. I can come to your house if your animal(s) is/are nervous or gets anxious easily or even if they simply prefer home or their usual walking route. I will care for them and can do any tasks needed to fulfill your pet's needs!
Walden pet parents share their Rover experiences
Bree was simply fantastic! She met Rupert (our 3-year-old dog) before we went on our trip and spent some time playing with him. We all immediately felt very comfortable with her. While we were away, she sent so many pictures of him, and we could see that he was having a great time. I knew Rupert was in good hands. Thank you for all your help :) we’re lucky to have you!

Stephanie went above and beyond to make sure Odie had the best time while I was away at work for a week. She was flexible and accommodated last minute changes, she cleaned up after his messes and just did an amazing job. Thank you so much for all you’ve done for Odie and I!
