Dog Walkers in Walkerton, IN

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've cared for dogs since middle school for neighbors friends and family. I have experience with energetic breeds such as Siberian Huskies and stubborn breeds such as chow chows. I also have basic pet first aid knowledge and basic pet training understanding. I'm currently volunteering three days a week at a barn in Elkhart Indiana. I would be available to care for your pet in the north Liberty Indiana area Friday through Monday. I may be available outside of these days on certain weeks so please contact me and I will see if I can work something out with you. I have experience using fenced in yards and tie outs as well as just taking a dog on the leash in the backyard. I have experience creating and uncrating a dog as well as walks, feeding, and medication administration.

About: I am a very observant person and be sure that your pet will be safe while you are away . I have dogs of my own and will care for yours as if they were my own . I operate a group that is focused on assisting rescues with transports from shelters to the rescue or their foster home as well as helping the lower income pet owner when in need . I pet sit for a neighbor for her 4 small dogs when she is away and have done this for about 10 yrs now . I have also spent the past 3 yrs working with my local lost and found group as well as an admin in the group . I hope to hear from you soon and I am willing to answer any further questions you may have .

About: I have taken care of all different animals ever since my parents bought me my first horse as a kid! I love all animals including cats and dogs! I’m currently a high school graduate working part-time, so I have plenty of free time to care for and play with your pet! I enjoy going for long, daily walks in various kinds of weather with my dogs. I am only available to do check ins at clients home, with scheduled feedings and play time! I am able to go on 2 walks per day for dogs, and scooping cat litter daily for the kitties!

“Very grateful! Today was our first day scheduling a walk and Malayna is awesome. My dog is scared of most people and Malayna has done a great job of gradually spending time with her which is a huge step for our household for our dog’s social needs.”

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.

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 have been surrounded by animals my whole life, and through those years they interest me more and more. I had/have multiple cats and dogs, and the connection with them has been something I couldn’t imagine not experiencing. Plus, the knowledge I have gained from being around familiar animals makes me feel I would love experiencing new things with other pets, and get to know their unique personalities. With that being said, I am open to almost any training/service necessary for your dog(s) or cat(s) needs and would love to get to know your fuzzy family! I’ve just started school, and my classes are every weekday from 5:30 pm to 10 pm, just so you’re aware if that contradicts any booking requirements you need. I have my own pets to take care of, but other than that I don’t have consistent routines that would get in the way of the times and dates I’m available. For drop-ins, I will do feedings, outdoor/potty time, and get to know your pet(s). If there’s any questions or other service not noted that you’d like to ask I can do, I would be happy to answer. Walks- I do at least 15 minute walks, and up to 90 minute walks. More characterized questions, such as walking area or what certain necessities your pet(s) needs can be discussed once I have contact/a schedule with you.

“Kiersten did a phenomenal job - clear communication and took great care of my dog!”

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!

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 have taken care of animals from dogs to horses since I was 10. I have my bachelors in Animal Sciences from Purdue. I have worked at vet clinics / hospitals and animal shelters. I have lots of experience to take care of your pet(s) and to make them feel comfortable! I currently work 3 12 hr shifts a week. On the days I work I can do morning and night stuff and the days I don’t work I am available throughout the day! I will follow whatever instructions are left for your pets! I can take dogs on short or long walks. Play with them in your yard or take them to a dog park too if needed to get some energy out!

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

About: I am an animal lover looking to give love to dogs. I currently have a bichon/poodle mix who is the sweetest little man he loves dogs as well so if you would want your dog to have a playmate olli would be more then willing to join me on my service. I am a college student attending IUSB full time. I am originally from South Bend, Indiana. I have not met a single dog I have not fallen in love with immediately yet. The only request I have is that you let me know dietary restrictions. My cousin watches her bosses dog and gave him a puppy pop one for him to have diarrhea.. poor puppy. I will not feed your dog anything you do not want them to have. Thank you for looking at my page! I currently work part-time at a Hospital with weekends free and am a nursing student. While I do have to study for school I can study and hang with your pup at the same time. I treat each dog like my own. If I am caring for your dog it will be treated like my own dog and cared for as I would my own.

“I had Lily walk my Tucker this morning so I could get some extra sleep without the pup! She kept me updated with tons of pictures! This dog mom feels much more refreshed after a break!”

“Emily was great!! She walked my husky a couple of times while I was gone for the day and sent awesome updates on how everything went. My dog also takes medication several times a day. I felt super reassured that she is a vet tech and was able to easily give him his medication. I will definitely be re-booking for any future walks or check-in visits. Thank you!!!”

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.

My family has always had a heart for animals, and I grew up rescuing any animal I could in need! I’ve rescued dogs, kittens, birds, bats, & raccoons. I grew up with many dogs, cats, birds, and reptiles in my household. I am well-versed in all animal care, but I specialize mostly with dogs, cats, and birds. Animal care is something I specialize in and am good at - your pet will be in the best hands, while you’re away! I am very knowledgeable on animal behavior and safety.
