Dog Walking in Waterswolde, Fort Wayne, IN

About: I know how hard it is to leave your beloved fur baby and I want you and your pet to be happy, knowing they're in good hands. I am patient, gentle and affectionate with animals and want them to have a great experience whenever I am with them. I love feeding animals and giving them treats, but I am respectful of the client's wishes and will strictly follow all feeding instructions. I am physically in shape and able to walk/jog with your dog and go on long walks (I also live near the Pufferbelly trail). I will play tug, fetch or whatever game your dog enjoys. I am willing to take your dog on car rides and to the Huntertown dog park upon client request. I have a golden retriever that loves to play and go for walks, so if you want some socialization for your dog, I can also bring him along. My dog will only come by request of the client. I do have 2 cats in my home, so I can only board dogs who are cat (and dog) friendly. Otherwise, I am more than happy to come to your home and care for your dog(s).

About: Hi! I provide attentive, full-time care from my home, which means your pet will never be left alone for long periods. Because I’m home throughout the day, I’m able to give consistent supervision, regular potty breaks, playtime, and lots of affection. What sets me apart is the level of attention and structure I provide. I don’t just “watch” pets, I actively engage with them. Whether that means helping reinforce puppy training (crate training, basic commands, potty routines), sticking closely to a senior dog’s medication or mobility needs, or giving anxious pets extra patience and reassurance, I tailor care to each pet’s personality. I do have a yard for outdoor time and fresh air. Since it isn’t fenced, all outdoor time is supervised and safely managed to ensure your pet’s security at all times. I’m comfortable caring for: • Puppies who need structure and frequent potty breaks • Senior pets who require a slower pace or medication • High-energy dogs who need active play and stimulation • Shy or anxious pets who benefit from a calm, consistent environment You’ll also receive regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is for you to feel completely at ease while you’re away and for your pet to feel safe, happy, and loved. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I’m home full-time. This allows me to build my day around the pets in my care rather than fitting them in between long absences. Mornings typically begin with feeding, potty breaks or litter box cleaning, and some one-on-one attention. Throughout the day, I provide regular outdoor breaks (fully supervised), playtime, enrichment, and plenty of affection. Because I’m home, I can easily maintain your pet’s normal feeding schedule and routine. In the evenings, pets continue to receive attention and companionship so they feel settled and comfortable. My schedule allows me to provide consistent supervision and structure every day of the week. When caring for pets in my home, I focus on maintaining a calm, structured, and safe environment. Because I’m home full-time, pets receive consistent supervision, regular potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of companionship throughout the day. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, crate preferences, exercise needs, and sleep habits. I understand that consistency helps pets feel secure, especially in a new environment. I have a yard for outdoor time and fresh air. Since it isn’t fenced, all outside time is closely supervised to ensure safety. Pets are never left unattended outdoors. In a client’s home, I respect your space and your pet’s established routine. I prioritize feeding schedules, clean water, potty breaks or litter box care, enrichment, and one-on-one attention. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is safe and comfortable. My goal in any setting is to create a low-stress, attentive experience where pets feel secure and cared for.

About: I love dogs and have been caring for them since I was 12. With me, your pet will have the “Cool Aunt” as their sitter (with a couple dad jokes slid in as well). We’ll be the Paw-fect match! I’m currently working full time, so on top of meeting all of your pet’s needs, we’ll be taking advantage of long walks in good weather or doing fun activities such playing hide in seek or watching a relatable film for movie night (Beethoven is my favorite!) My services of care will depend on your instructions and boundaries for your fur baby along with your home. I take pride in doing what I do best whilst making sure every expectation you have of me is met.

About: I have plenty of hands-on cat and dog care experience. Last year, I lived with a sweet cat and a high-energy golden retriever, and often cared for them while my roommate was away for clinicals. I handled their daily care, playtime, and attention, so I know how to keep pets happy, healthy, and well-loved. I’m in my final year of pharmacy school and currently have a break before my next clinical rotation. That means I’m free all day during the week and most weekends until October, giving me plenty of time and flexibility to care for your pet and keep them happy, active, and loved. I don’t currently have a home with a yard suitable for a pet, as I’ll be moving around for school this year. That’s actually why I love helping care for other people’s animals! I focus on giving pets attention, playtime, and companionship, and I’m happy to follow their routines closely, whether it’s feeding or walks. Living with a golden retriever with high separation anxiety taught me a lot about the importance of just being present and sticking to the routine established by the owner.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs for my whole life! In my family I was the designated dog walker/caretaker. I would love to be of assistance for families looking for someone to take care of their pup! I am a current college student, however I have plenty of free time/days to take care of your pets! I have played college soccer for the past four years, so I know how to be reliable and responsible. Currently my schedule is very open for dog sitting/walking and I’d love to help out! I live in a dog friendly apartment complex, so if necessary I could accommodate for pet care in my home. As for in a client’s home, I can follow any set of directions you left to take care of your fur baby!

About: Hello! I am a foster mom and an active pet rescue volunteer, ready to care for your pet. Snuggles, playtime, and photos are guaranteed! I am a newer resident of Treasure Island and would love to get to know people and care for their pets as I find my place in the community. I look forward to meeting you and providing your furry family members with extra special care and attention. Trust me, when I say your pet is special to me. My schedule is flexible, so I am available to drop in for a visit in the morning, before work, after work, and/or again in the evening. As a lifelong pet owner and foster mom, I am dedicated to giving every animal the special love and care they deserve, especially when their families are away. It's completely normal for your pet to feel restless during the first couple of days and evenings. This behavior can vary based on each pet's background, and I understand that it is to be expected. I will do my best to give your pet the time they need to adjust to me at their own pace, while providing plenty of love, comfort, and patience.

“We were hesitant to leave Blue w “just anyone”, but after meeting with Jennifer and seeing how she interacted with her helped us get over the hump. Jennifer was totally awesome and my wife and I were able to enjoy our time away, knowing that Blue was in very capable hands. Will use her services again??, and again?”

About: From growing up with pets all around me, I’ve gained valuable experience in caring for our furry friends. I understand that every animal has differing needs, and I am dedicated to providing personalized care. Whether it’s keeping up with an energetic pup, offering gentle attention to a senior pet, or simply being a comforting presence, I ensure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I’m currently working a part-time job so I will have plenty of time to spend with your furry friends! While my shifts differ every day, I do not have a specific availability but I am more than comfortable with working around my part-time jobs hours. On days my calendar says I’m unavailable, I may be able to provide services as well depending on the times I am working at my other job! I am 100% always available any time on Fridays! I have two cats and two dogs myself so I feel more than comfortable with my ability to ensure a safe environment for all animals. When it comes to any drop-in visits, I will treat your home and your pet with the utmost respect and kindness.

From tigers and reptiles to primates and all kinds of domestic, I've taken care of them. I'm experienced with senior animals and any that need medication as well I'm currently only working at my other job on weekends, so I have plenty of time to play and take care of your critters too!

About: I have been around dogs my whole life and taken care of dogs since I was about 10. Dogs are my life. They run my household and my only one rule with them is to love on them. I work from home so your pet will never be alone for a long period of time. I spent the last few years taking care of my senior dog who was almost 15 when she crossed the bridge. I still take care of another senior dog for my family. I work from home so your pet will always have someone. I will work around your schedule for feeding and medicine. I do ask that you bring their beds and toys so that they feel more comfortable. Fenced in yard with no children/ pets. I do not crate the dogs unless it is for their safety and comfort. I am still grieving my soul dog so this is my way of being around dogs and loving on them while my heart heals.

About: I’ve been pet sitting since i was 14, dogs of all sizes and breeds, cats (including the ones with attitude) and rabbits. I started out dog sitting for the family pets and have now gotten recommendations for family friends, neighbors, and a couple people im not even related to. I love animals more than anything and would be happy to share that love with them. I have flexible hours and can make just about every time work and can also work around my work schedule. :) I work part time usually in the mornings so i have lots of time to take care of your animals. Im available for any type of care service except for in my personal home. I will however be willing to drive long distances. I can stop by frequently, do overnights, go for walks, play with them, and give lots and lots of love to your pets of all sizes.

About: Both my wife and I have had pets since we were little. We have 2 dogs and 2 cats, and love spending time with them all. I work from home Monday-Friday, and my wife works from home only 3 days a week, allowing a lot of flexibility for potty breaks and play time. We are also home most of the time on weekends. We have a comfortable, fenced in backyard and a cage for inside if needed. We have 2 friendly dogs that have been around plenty of other dogs with no issues, and always love the extra company. Our 2 cats also get along well with dogs, and have always been around them.
