Dog Walking Westland

About: I'm a huge animal lover and was lucky enough to grow up with lots of pets from rodents to dogs to horses. I've walked big (150lb+) dogs, small dogs, and everything in between with no issues. Until I was 15 years old, my dad had my siblings and I convinced he was allergic to cats because he didn't want us asking to get one. Jokes on him that the majority of us are now cat parents. While I've had my menace of a cat (I love her to pieces even though she's turning my hair as gray as hers) for only a few years, I've still been around cats throughout my life and am attuned to their particular brand of affection. I have experience pet-sitting from bunnies to a pack of seven high energy dogs. If you're looking for a non-dog or cat sitter, give me a shot! I'm very determined to give pets the best care possible, and if I'm unsure of any instructions will not hesitate to ask for clarification no matter how menial the task may appear. No animal's needs are too particular or niche for me. Must walk counterclockwise around the block? Easy. Food must be microwaved for 12 seconds, but stop it with one second on the clock? No problem. Got to pretend their medicine is human food that was "accidentally" spilled on the floor and I need to "rush" to pick it up before Fido gets it? Done. My availability leans more towards the morning or evening, but I'm happy to work with you to best fit your care requirements. I do my best to keep my calendar updated, especially for weekends, but if you're wondering if I'm available please don't hesitate to ask! No amount of instructions are too much for me! I once left three hand written pages of notes on how to care for my hamster. I will follow them to the letter, and not hesitate to ask if I have any questions. Ensuring your family member is happy, healthy, and comfortable in their home is my number one priority.

About: Hi! I’m Hope, a dedicated animal lover based in Greenfield, IN 🐾 I’ve had dogs my entire life and have worked with them professionally for the past 6 years. I also spent nearly 2 years working at a dog boarding facility, where I gained hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. I offer drop-in visits that include feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, and quality time with your pet. I’m also happy to include a short walk during visits if time allows or provide dedicated walks as needed. I work full-time during the day, so I’m available for consistent morning and evening visits with the potential for mid day. I prioritize reliability, communication, and making sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I’m especially comfortable with larger dogs and always aim to treat every pet like my own. I also provide updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re gone. I’d love to set up a meet & greet to make sure it’s a great fit for you and your pet 🤍 I work full time Monday- Friday 7:30-3:30. I am mostly available Friday-Sunday but will be available for potty breaks throughout the week day as well. I currently have three dogs. I have a Labrador, Golden Retriever, and a Beagle. I am used to big dogs so I will have no problem handling those big pups of yours.

About: I have always had a pet, dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and rats. I love animals and realize the difficulty in leaving your animal babies with someone you trust while you are gone. I take that responsibility very seriously. I recently retired and would like to include in my day, caring for animals whose owners need help when they are gone from the home. I have a fenced yard, and an easy going home environment. I also have two older dogs, 4 indoor kitties, with a total of six cats. They are all pretty laid back.

About: I have been a regular pet sitter for friends, family, and coworkers since I was a teenager. I have experience with large or small dogs, elderly dogs, cats, and pets that need medication or other accommodations. I have experience with dog-sitting for up to two weeks at a time. This has sometimes included, but is not limited to, administering medication, cleaning up messes inside and outside, walking, feeding, and bathing. Ensuring the safety, health, and happiness of each pet I take care of is my top priority and it is one of my favorite things to do in the world! I do not have the same schedule weekly, so I will constantly update my availability. I only know my availability up to 3 weeks in advance. Unless I have to work very early the next day, I am available for overnights at least 3 days a week (typically). I am unable to have pets at my house because I live with a family member’s dog that does not do well with other animals. Please give me any and all instructions! I will make sure to follow any routine that I can for your pet to be comfortable. I will provide as many updates/photos as requested.

“Very polite and professional, will definitely be a returning client for Kari! She walked my chocolate lab named Hiccup even though it started to rain. Thank you so much!”

About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life. I have experience with small dogs and big dogs. I have gone through puppy kindergarten classes with my dog as well. I have taken care of dogs, cats, rabbits, chickens, Guinea pigs, birds and bearded dragons. Pet care fits into my routine as I am pretty flexible on weekends, so that I can let them out frequently. I work as an instructional assistant for an elementary school. I can care for animals before and after work as well as my lunch breaks. I follow the school schedule and get holidays and breaks off as well. I prefer staying in the clients home so that the pets can stay in their comfort zone and as close to their normal routine. With that said, I am also very flexible. I can stay in the home, offer drop in visits or care for them in my home. Whatever the client prefers.

“Lucy is so sweet. I will be working with her again. Amazing overall!”

About: Aside from caring for my own animals, I have dog and cat sat for friends and family in the past. I'm a huge animal advocate and lover, so much so that I am a vegetarian and have issues with the way animals are treated from slaughter houses, to puppy mills. Animals are truly my best friends and I can't think of anything I would enjoy more than taking care of others and the bonus is getting paid for it. I have had pets since I was small and taking care of animals brings me a lot of joy and comfort in my life and its what I prefer. What better way to make money than by doing what you love most. I enjoy walking daily so bring a special little fur buddy along would be a huge plus. I’m dog sitting full time on most days. Have retired and am now doing what I enjoy the most. Please contact me anytime day or night. Your pet is very safe in my home. Fenced in back yard and dog friendly inside through and through. My dogs are older and get along with all dogs.

“Steph was wonderful. Definitely would hire her again!”

“I found Lorrie on Rover when I needed someone to walk my Emmee after my foot surgery. She did such a wonderful job!! Emmee took to her right away. Lorrie showed such love to my baby. I knew she was safe. I wouldn't hesitate to ask Lorrie to care for my Emmee again! Nancy T. Fishers, IN”

About: I grew up with pets, and love being around pups! I have done some pet sitting for friends which sparked a desire to care for pets more frequently. I love hearing even the smallest details about your beloved pet so that I can give them as much care as you do! I’m currently a stay-at-home mom of 7 with daily availability to make house visits or go on walks. My teen sons (15, 17, and 18) also enjoy pet sitting/ dog walking and may accompany me at times. I strive to give them the same love and care you do! I am a detailed oriented person who you can be confident will attempt to hear and follow all of your instructions, making sure your pet is in good hands! I want to give you and your pet the highest care and respect possible. Pet parents know all the individual qualities about their pet— what they like to do, what scares them, what will help them get in and out of the house, etc. Those are the things I appreciate knowing.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life. I have knowledge with working dogs, police, dogs, rescue dogs, all of the above. I have a retired police dog and a rescue pup along with three cats. I’m familiar with young dogs, senior dogs dogs that need medication, all that fun stuff. I’m very passionate about helping and taking care of animals and I thoroughly enjoy meeting all different types of animals and getting to know their personalities. I just graduated high school so I am free every day. I’m willing to do overnight days, weekly stays drop in visits. My schedule is always very flexible. We don’t have a fence so one dog goes outside on a leash and the other dog has recall so he doesn’t need a leash. In clients homes I always follow the checklist or rules that are sent to me. I don’t wanna risk anything bad happening. I feed on schedule, give meds when needed, provide multiple potty breaks, and always make time for playtime.

About: I have taken care of friends' dogs and cats on and off throughout the years with no problems and I really enjoy caring for for fur babies! I also care for chickens from time to time! I'm pretty flexible with my schedule! I can stop by your house a couple of times a day or stay over night if needed. Right now I cannot keep pets at my house. I will follow the instructions you give me and lovingly care for your pet as if it were my own. I can transport your dog to park if needed.

About: I will genuinely treat your pups like my own! I’ve had pets ever since I can remember - dogs, cats, & even fish. Today, I'm a proud plant & cat mom. Because I love traveling myself, I totally know how stressful it is to leave your babies behind & how important it is to have reliable, trustworthy help you can count on. I love taking dogs on adventures, whether that’s hitting trails to burn off energy or just enjoying a long, sniff filled neighborhood walk. I have experience with all kinds of personalities from high energy pups who want to play non stop, to sweet seniors who just want a slow stroll & some good couch cuddles. I love sending lots of photo updates & making sure your dogs feel safe, happy, & loved! I have a super flexible schedule. My days are open enough that I can easily prioritize structured potty breaks & long walks, without having to rush back to a strict 9-5 desk job. In my home your pet becomes a part of the family! My place is a pet friendly environment where they can fully relax & get cozy. While I don’t have a fence, I have a massive yard with a secure lead, so the dogs can get plenty of space while staying safe. Plus, they’ll get tons of attention & plenty of couch cuddles! If I’m coming to your house for a walk or a drop in, I’ll treat your space with total respect. I’ll strictly follow whatever routine you have for feeding, crating, or locking up. I'm always mindful of the little things like wiping muddy paws if it's rainy & making sure the water bowl is totally fresh before I leave. Plus, you can definitely count on lots of fun photo updates so you know exactly how great they’re doing! Whether your pet is hanging out at my place or I’m visiting yours, making sure they feel safe and comfortable is my biggest priority.

About: I have taken care of dogs for most of my life. I have lots of experience in dog walking and pet sitting. I have worked with high and low energy dogs, puppies, and older dogs.

I scan the environment I am in to ensure safety of everyone involved.

Whether it’s a quick drop-in or an extended stay, I treat every pet like my own.

I have over 12 years of experience caring for dogs and have grown up around many different breeds. I’m patient, dependable, and genuinely passionate about animals. I believe they are truly precious and deserve to be treated with the same love, care, and compassion I would give my own.

About: Hi! My name is Susannah, and I'm a 24-year-old animal lover living in Indianapolis with my husky and orange cat. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with pets of all sizes and personalities. In addition to caring for my own pets every day, I regularly help care for my family's three large dogs and two cats, so I'm comfortable with both dogs and cats, including larger breeds. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, pet sitting, and cat care. Whether your pet loves long walks, playing fetch, exploring outside, or simply relaxing with company, I'll tailor my care to their individual needs and routine. My goal is to make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide reliable, attentive care. I'm happy to accommodate your pet's routine as much as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise, medication (if needed and instructed), and lots of attention and affection. Your pet's safety and happiness are my top priorities. I take time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and any special instructions before every visit. I'll make sure they receive plenty of exercise, fresh water, meals on schedule, bathroom breaks, playtime, and lots of love and attention. I strive to create a calm, positive environment so your pet feels comfortable and secure while you're away.

About: I have taken care of animals my whole life, animals such as rodents, cats, dogs, fish and more! I have a deep love for animals and I will take care of your animals the same way I would want mine taken care of I am taking college classes in the fall, but I will still have time to take care, play, and hang out with your furry family! I will be sure to not leave anything on counters, the floor and any other place your pet may be able to access, I can easily crate animals when leaving to assure safety.

About: I am not a professional but sometimes I believe that’s okay. I’ve had dogs since I can remember. I’ve always had such a big heart when it comes to animals. I worked at a shelter while I was in high school and the hardest for me was not bringin them all to my house. I have two dogs of my own. They’re both older girls and very very laid back and friendly. I think every dog has personality of their own and that’s what is beautiful about dogs. I think taking care of dogs is more than a chore or a job, i think it’s more of passion. In my opinion you have to love dogs to be able to take care of them the way they need. I hope I can be what you’re looking for.
