Cat Sitting Walkerton

“Kimberly really saves the day when I got stuck out of town for work and my usual pet sitting plan didn't pan out. She responded on short notice and was able to do a drop-in visit. She communicated well! I've never used a pet sitter who wasn't a friend or family member, and this is the first time using Rover. I was wary of letting a stranger in my home, but Kimberly was great and I really appreciated the update photo.”

About: I have had a dog throughout my whole life. My friends and family have relied on me to watch, feed, bathe, and walk their pets. I currently work full time but I am off during the summer so I will plenty of time to spend with your dog. I am available though out the week for dog walking, during the weekends I am able to dog sit at my house. I have a fenced in yard and I currently don’t have a dog so you don’t have to worry about if your dog isn’t friendly.

About: I've had dogs in the house since before I can remember, and as I got older I helped my dad train each of them. After caring for his personal dog for over a year in 2017, I found my own dog (Nola- a Golden) and trained her myself. She's now the perfect family dog, hiking partner, and home security system. My experience has led me to become a firm, fair, and consistent handler, making walks with me a calm and enjoyable treat for pups! I leave homes better than I found them and give lots of loves during drop-ins! I am trained in MWD/K9 first aid and resuscitation through the Army. I take my dog with me on long hikes with a backpack (rucks), my 2 mile run, or a slow walk at least once a week, as well as throwing the ball outside for her and/or walks around the block every day. I understand that energetic pups need a lot of exercise to avoid negative coping behaviors! My house is very pet friendly, we have two cats and my Golden Retriever, Nola. She is not allowed on furniture, but when humans get on the ground, it's super snuggle time! she gets brushed every few days and feeding times are a ritual instead of constant food being out. However, I know everyone cares for their pets differently so when I visit someone's home, I never turn down a pup in my lap for kisses and I'm comfortable giving medicines or special treatments/attention to animals who need it.

About: I have been pet sitting and house sitting for my friends and family for years now. I have experience with dogs, cats, snakes, chickens and fish. I have experience with dogs of all ages and sizes. I am a huge animal lover and would love to take care of your pets while you are away from home to take away some of your stress! I am currently a Junior at Indiana University South Bend studying elementary education! My class schedule: Monday: 2:30-5 Tuesday: 8-1 Wednesday: 8-3, 5-8 Thursday: 8-1 My classes are the only obligation's I have, plus a few social events per week. I am very flexible with my time outside of my classes! When I am in a clients home caring for their pets I make sure to follow their instructions very closely to ensure the pets have the best most consistent care possible. I provide loving, enriching, active, and individualized care for pets of all ages, sizes, and kinds. Making sure to be respectful of the clients home as well. I can provide feeding, light training, walking, going potty, fetch, play, and cuddles to pets who are friendly!

About: I have extensive experience with animals from working at a local vet clinic, dog training facility, and horse farm. I also have a dog of my own that I’ve cared for for 12 years. I am currently in school to become a vet tech and am capable of caring for animals with basic medical needs. I am currently doing online schooling over the summer, but other than that my days are free to care for or walk your beloved pets. I will not be having pets at my own house, but I can follow explicit instructions, respect the clients home and privacy, and care for clients’ pets as if they were my own.

“Alyssa was super kind, professional, and understanding. She took great car of James, even playing with him and texting me photos. She also cleaned out both litter boxes while I was gone. I will definitely ask for her help again, and I highly recommend her.”

About: Hello, I’m Kelsey! I have always been a MAJOR dog lover. When I was really young, I used to wish for a pet puppy each year as I blew out my birthday candles. My wish came true in 2003, and since then I have owned three wonderful dogs. In 2010, I started walking and “dog-sat” for a variety of breeds- everything from chihuahuas, dachshunds, pit bulls, & boxers! In caring for dogs at home or on walks, I feel that it’s imperative to communicate their stressors and motivators so that we can work towards keeping them calm and happy. Two of my own dogs had lived to be scruffy seniors, so I am well versed in older dog care and providing them with routine medicine. I have recent experience in the past year with house training puppies and all of the extra care that they need during this life stage as well. I cannot wait to meet your fur baby and give them all of the attention and exercise that they crave!

“Mary is amazing! Our dogs loved her, and she gave us peace of mind while we were out of town.”

“Ava has been wonderful taking care of our new puppy, Arlo. She takes extra time to make sure that he gets to play and use a bit of that puppy energy up. She loves when he visits.”

About: Hi! My name is Allison, and I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds. I currently have a full house with 4 dogs and 2 cats so I’m very comfortable managing different personalities, energy levels, and care routines. I also spent 3 years working in the veterinary field, which gave me valuable experience recognizing health concerns, administering basic care, and understanding animal behavior. Whether it’s playtime, walks, feeding schedules, or just giving your pets extra love and attention, I treat every animal like they’re my own. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I’m committed to providing safe, reliable, and compassionate care while you’re away! Pet care is a natural part of my everyday life. I currently work as a 911 dispatcher, so I’m used to managing a structured but sometimes fast-paced schedule. I plan my pet sitting visits around my shifts, which allows me to stay organized and committed to each pet’s routine. Since I care for my own 4 dogs, 2 cats, and a horse daily, feeding, exercise, and attention are already built into my routine. Adding client pets into that schedule feels seamless, and I make sure each one gets reliable, consistent care and plenty of attention. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I provide drop-in visits that include feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and lots of attention based on each pet’s needs and energy level. I take the time to follow all instructions closely whether that’s specific feeding schedules, medications, or preferred routines, so your pet feels comfortable and secure while you’re away. I also make sure your home is respected and kept tidy, bringing in mail, adjusting lights, and ensuring everything is secure. With my background in the veterinary field and experience caring for multiple animals of my own, I’m attentive to behavior changes and overall well-being, so you can feel confident your pet is in safe, capable hands.

“Kaylie did a wonderful job caring for our dog and cat. She followed all the instructions we gave and made sure to give them both lots of attention and petting. We would definitely hire her again.”

Brandon H.

“Mary pays special attention to my little old dog. I feel comfortable knowing she is taking great care of Olive when I have to be away too long.”

Beth P.

“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.”

About: I love fur babies! Whether it’s running around and playing with a younger ball of energy, just talking and petting an older “pup” I’m your girl I’ve cared for neighborhood pets since I was 12 years old. I have had pets in my home my entire life. I’d love to give you a stress free time away knowing your beloved animals are in great care while you are unavailable. During the week I would like to schedule regular evening walks, drops ins, or boarding. And weekends I am completely available. I can accommodate weekday services as long as I have enough of an advanced notice. I have a large fenced in yard! I am a very adventurous, outdoors person so if your dog is energetic I will be out there finding out what your dog enjoys to do, whether it be being chased, catching a ball, or just being curious and walking the neighborhood if you’re baby plans on hanging out with me I would definitely keep he/she active! I am currently working Monday-Thursdays, with a very flexible schedule! I am able to do drop ins or walks anytime throughout the day, but I will be able to give more devoted time for boarding typically Thur thru Sunday. We have a fenced in yard and plenty of space for your fur babies to run around and feel at home! My family will live on your pets as if they are our own!

About: I grew up always being around animals, I have a passion to be surrounded with animals! Animals bring me joy and happiness. I currently have a dog, and dog and cat sit for friends! I’m a server and can plan around my schedule and the schedule of your pets needs! I’ll fit everything in to make sure your pet is taken care of as if you never left. If you have me do overnight stays, I’ll take the dog outside when I wake up and before I go to bed. I’ll also let them out throughout the day and feed them based on your feeding schedule.

“Great job!”

About: I worked at a pet boarding facility for 7 years. I have dogs of my own plus I've bred dogs for 5 years. I've owned dogs my whole life since I was young and worked at an animal shelter as well. I work from home so I'm able to have time in my day to take care of dogs and be able to let them out or do whatever they need. I have a large yard and extra crates if needed lots of dog beds. I have 3 acres of land so lots of room for them to run around
