Pet Sitting in Walkerton

“Kim was very good managing all of the dogs I left home while traveling to dog shows. They all seemed happy and healthy when I got home. Everything was clean as I had left it. I will definitely be hiring Kim again!”

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.

“Kiersten was great! Did two drop in's for our lab and was dependable and communicative! Thank you!”

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.”

“Danielle was our first Rover experience and we were quite nervous...she made our vacation stress free, she did a great job with our girls! We will definitely be reaching out again!”

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.

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.

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: I have a Belgian Malanois who’s name is Beau. He is an Extremely passionate and caring dog with a high drive to learn. I have put In the time and effort to train and build our relationship as a family. I also have a Golden retriever and she couldn’t care less about anything other than love haha. I have a full time job, which ends at 2:00pm. From 2:00pm until bed I spend with my dog whether it be training, or walking. I spend a minimum of 2 hours a day training with Beau. I believe that your dog can fit right in and be in a comfortable, safe, home away from home. I do not have a fenced in yard yet but I’m outside every time my pups go out. If need be, I have leashes I can use to let your pup outside as well.

“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.”

“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.”
