Dog Walking Whiteland

About: Hi, I'm Kristen and I have over 30 years of both personal and professional pet care experience. I’ve completed Rover’s extra, enhanced background check so that you can feel more confident in my services. I love pets- I've had my own dogs, cats, fish, and a guinea pig since I was a child, and I also worked at 2 different animal hospitals/boarding facilities during high school and college. I even worked at PetSmart back when it used to be known as "Petstuff" in the 1990s! I recently lost my 14.5 year old Aussie to old age, but just adopted a wonderful new shelter dog that loves other animals. I also have a cat and love cats and other furry critters as well. I believe that pets love me back because I treat them like kids- talk with them, play with them, get silly with them. I want to help provide an option for you if you're not comfortable with taking your pet(s) to a kennel when you have to be away- when you'd rather they were home.

“Professional, kind and good communication!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs on and off for a side job for 2 years. I’m very actice and love taking my own dogs on walks. I love dogs and cats, i’m very well organized and I will make sure your animal is loved, well taken care of and comfortable! I currently work part-time, which gives me flexibility to spend quality time caring for your pets! I’m happy to discuss scheduling, and I’ll do my best to accommodate your pet’s routine, whether that includes walks, playtime, feeding, or overnight care. My goal is to make sure your pets receive plenty of attention, love, and care while you’re away! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities! Since I have two dogs of my own who are not comfortable around other dogs, I provide pet-sitting services in your home rather than mine. This allows your pets to stay in their familiar environment and maintain their usual routines. I’ll always follow your instructions, respect your home, and make sure your pets receive plenty of love, attention, and responsible care while you’re away. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your furry family members are in caring hands!

“Courtney has been absolutely amazing with our dog Bia. She has accommodated last minute requests. Her communication is excellent during scheduling requests and walks. Most importantly Bia loves her! Highly recommend.”

About: I've lived with dogs and cats, big and small, since I was five years old. I have a passion for animals of all sorts and I previously worked as a kennel tech for a veterinary office and worked as a dog groomer for several years before my son was born. I’m currently a stay at home mom to my children. I especially love dogs and cats of all sizes and I love being able to work from home taking care of them and helping pet parents know their pets are safe and loved when they’re with me. I'm open to caring for animals of other species as well! I’m experienced in taking care of many different types of animals with different levels of care, such as senior pets, medically needy pets, puppies and kittens, aggressive/reactive pets, as well as exotics. I took a 4 year long veterinary assisting course and I received my CVA (certified veterinary assistant) license in July 2016! I’m a stay at home mom to my children, so I work from home and have pretty open availability to help whenever I’m needed, including weekdays! When caring for someone else’s pets, my main goal is to make sure your pet is happy, healthy and loved. I strive to follow the directions given and keep your pet in a routine they are familiar with, so please don’t hesitate to ask for special requests! For grooming: I have been a professional groomer for several years, plus animal experience as noted above! Please let me know what haircut you would like, your pets’ temperament with grooming, any special requests or concerns you may have during the groom, I am happy to accommodate. I am familiar with most breed specific haircuts and I’m well versed in many different breeds, so please feel free to let me know exactly what your desired haircut looks like! I have open availability as I am a stay at home mom! I’m usually available most days of the week, but may need a couple days to plan, so please shoot me a message and I’ll be happy to get something scheduled! I care for pets as the owners intend me to. I strive to provide a safe and loving environment whether your pet is in my home or yours. When your pet is in my care, rest assured that I am doing everything in my power to keep them happy and healthy :) My schedule can be quite flexible, so please reach out to me to see if we can make something work! I have pretty open availability most days. My goal is to take care of your pet in the same manner that you typically would, so that you can leave them in my care knowing they are loved, safe and cared for as you intend.

“Lexi did a great job walking our dog. She was on time and very informative. We appreciate all that she did for us, and we will definitely use her again.”

About: I have had a dog of myself for 10+ years, and he has definitely helped me learn a lot! I’m able to easily form great relationships with any dog I have met (so far), and absolutely adore being around them and caring for them. Thanks to my experience as a dog owner, I know all there is to know of the basics of caring for dogs of all ages. My current job has me working 2-6 Monday through Friday, and 1:15-6 on Wednesdays. Since I don’t work long hours, that leaves me pretty open when it comes to pet care! Since I don’t offer boarding in my own home, I will travel to yours to care for your pet. When housesitting, I tend to hang out in the area where your pet is in the most to keep an eye on them if they need anything, and to keep them company while I’m around (if I can, I also like being on the floor so if they want to come and say hi or get some pets I’m right within their reach)! Also, I may be unfamiliar with the neighborhood, but that won’t discourage me from taking your furry friend on walks if they’re able!

About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and energy levels, from playful puppies to gentle seniors. I make sure each pup gets the right mix of exercise, playtime, and affection to keep them happy and healthy while you’re away. Whether it’s long walks, belly rubs, or sticking to their specific feeding and care routines, I treat every dog like they’re my own. My goal is to provide a safe, loving environment so you can relax knowing your furry friend is in good hands! I am at home full time and manage my business from home. I am available 24/7, 7 days a week for all your needs of care for your pet! I have a large secure privacy fenced in backyard for lots of free run and potty breaks. Your pet will be able to roam free or be crated if that is your typical routine! They are able to go out to potty every 30mins- an hour and playtime is all day! Feeding schedule varies on the pet and the preferences of the owner. We provide lots of fresh treats always! Please let us know of any allergies or things you would rather your pet not consume (treat wise).

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have owned two family dogs, I’m very comfortable with daily care and routines. I have several years of experience dog sitting for friends and families, and I’m confident handling walks, feeding, playtime, and making sure pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for! I’m currently working 2 days over the summer, (full time teacher) during the school year available after school, during summer available every day except Tuesday and Wednesday!! I care for every pet as if they were my own by following their routine, providing plenty of love, attention, and exercise!! I respect my clients’ homes by keeping them clean, secure, and following all instructions!

About: I am a trainer for Veterans of Best Friends. I also have a minature golden doodle which is certified thru Alliance of Therapy Dogs of which we visit hospice patients regularly coordinated thru Main Street Hospice located in Franklin. I am a retired airline engineer and recently received my Master Gardener certification. I am retired and do some dog training also. I enjoy pets and would love to have some pet drop ins possibly pet sitting to fill the void I treat everyone’s pet along with their household as it was one of my own. In addition I treat your pet with the upmost love and care along with the respect of your home

“Darcie was patient with my rescue puppy and gave her time to adjust to a new friend. She kept me updated on how she was doing and sent pictures of Waffles.”

About: In the past I have fostered many dogs of all ages and dogs with medical conditions requiring more care and I am comfortable giving medications. One of my dogs I went through a training course with where we used e-collars, so if your dog is e-collar trained I am very comfortable with this! I have also worked at a dog boarding facility taking care of many dogs and worked at a vet clinic taking care of dogs boarding! I am currently watching dogs full time so I have plenty of time to give your dog the attention and exercise they need to feel most comfortable! I have a fenced in yard where your dog will have plenty of room to run and play! I also have 4 dogs who are all friendly and interact well either other dogs.

About: I’ve been pet sitting on and off since I was about 13 years old. Family, friends & neighbors would often ask me to stop by throughout the day or stay overnight with their dogs and/or cats while they were out of town. I grew up in an animal-loving family that always had dogs and/or cats, so I am very comfortable with their care and LOVE spending time with them. I work 3 nights a week. My schedule may vary from week to week, especially for overnight services, but it overall allows me to be very flexible on my days off. I keep my schedule up to date on Rover to accurately reflect my availability. I am currently unable to have other pets in my apartment due to lease restrictions, so care will have to occur at your home. If you tell me what to do with your pet or leave instructions, I will be sure to follow them and keep your pet happy and healthy :)

“Paola helped me out last minute and was able to provide 2 long walks for my dog while I worked a 14 hour shift. 💗 She sent me so many pictures and I think he likes her more than he likes me!”

About: What sets me apart is that I truly love dogs! I currently work at a grooming facility, so I am comfortable being around different types of dogs and learning their individual needs. I also have a fenced-in yard where dogs can safely play and have fun. I have four kids who love dogs, so we have a fun and loving home for pups. I would love for my kids to get comfortable around different dogs before we have a family dog of our own. I have time during the week to give your pup plenty of attention, playtime, and care. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! I work full-time as a paraprofessional Monday through Friday from 8 AM to 4 PM. My husband is home during the day, so the pup will have someone home with them while I’m at work. Once I’m home, I’ll be with the pup for the rest of the day and can give them plenty of attention, care, and companionship. I’m looking forward to play with your pups! I have a fenced-in yard where dogs can safely play and get exercise. I also have four children under the age of 9 who absolutely love dogs! We have a fun, loving family, and we would be happy to welcome your pup into our home. I will make sure your dog gets plenty of attention, playtime, and care while also making sure they feel safe and comfortable.

About: I have been petsitting with my mom for the last few years and have been successful in training dogs with sight disabilities and I take special care of senior dogs and puppies still in potty training. I am available Sunday-Wednesday after 6:30 PM, and available all day Thursday-Saturday! I typically pet-sit everyday, and do house sitting a few times a year. I request detailed instructed on dog care for dogs, if they need meds at specific times, food at specific times, or have a disability, if they tend to need to go potty more often, or any other inquiries.

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: Animals have also been apart of my life since I was young. From dogs and cats to rabbits! I love them all. I have experience dealing with a wide range of breeds as well. I have babysat dogs of family and friends while they were away. I am a dog mom myself and enjoy caring for animals! I am a stay at home mom with plenty of time during the week to love on your dogs! For boarding I am available after 5pm. I have a fur baby that loves other dogs and playing! They will have a good time together! I do not have a fenced backyard so daily walks are always fun for my dog. Lots of room in the house to cage your pup if necessary (cage must be provided).

About: Walk. Wag. Repeat. 🐾 Hi, I’m Sebastian! Animals have always been the center of my world, and my business, Silly Moose & Co, is named in honor of my late, beloved dog, Layla. Her nickname was "Silly Moose," and she taught me everything about patience, unconditional love, and the joy of a wagging tail. I founded this business to carry on her legacy by treating every pet I meet with that same "Moose-sized" love. 📬 The "Pet's Best Friend" Professional By day, I’m a Letter Carrier, which truly makes me a pet's best friend! I’m out in the community every day, rain or shine, and I’ve mastered the art of making friends with every pup on the block. My career means I am exceptionally reliable, punctual, and used to being active in all types of weather. 🐾 Rescue-Tested Experience When I’m not on my route, I’m dedicated to rescue work. I am a current volunteer at Sketchy Mutts and Underdogs, and I previously spent time with the ASPCA as a shelter walker and dog photographer. These roles have given me invaluable experience with all personality types—from the shyest "underdogs" needing a patient hand to high-energy pups ready for an adventure. 🐈‍⬛ Tailored Care for Cats While the dogs are out walking, the feline family members aren't forgotten! I offer tailored services specifically for cats. As a "servant" to two cats who rule my own home, I know that every cat is unique—whether they want high-energy laser chasing, gentle brushing, or just some quiet company. I’m happy to handle feedings, litter box maintenance, and plenty of "slow blinks." 🏠 My "Moose" Crew at Home My home is shared with Buttercup, my sweet 5-year-old blue nose Staffordshire Terrier, and my two feline house-rulers. Because I live with a Staffy, I am especially comfortable and experienced with "bully breeds" and larger, powerful dogs. 🤝 The Silly Moose Promise Whether it’s boarding, walking, or house sitting, I know your pets are your family. My background in hospitality and community work means I bring a high level of reliability, attention to detail, and clear communication to every booking. Ready to start the cycle? Let’s Walk. Wag. Repeat. I am a Letter Carrier for the United States Post Office, I love animals and will always make time to meet new friends. I am in a transition phase in my career post injury and am trying to be a full time pet friend. At Silly Moose & Co, my care philosophy is built on the cycle of Walk. Wag. Repeat. I believe that a happy pet is one that feels safe, stimulated, and understood. Here is how I ensure your furry family member gets the best experience: 1. Building Trust Through Patience Every pet has a unique "vibe." Drawing from my experience with Sketchy Mutts and Underdogs, I never force a connection. I use "slow blinks" with cats and respectful body language with dogs to let them come to me. Whether they are shy rescues or high-energy "Silly Mooses," I meet them where they are. 2. Structured Walks & Sensory Play As a Letter Carrier, I know the streets like the back of my hand. I don’t just "walk" dogs; I provide structured outings. This includes sniffing breaks for mental stimulation (sensory play) and consistent pacing to ensure they get the physical exercise they need. 3. Meticulous Routine & Safety Pets thrive on consistency. I stick strictly to your feeding, medication, and bathroom schedules. My background in hospitality means I have a sharp eye for detail—I check water bowls, ensure gates are latched, and keep litter boxes "deep-clean" fresh for my feline clients. 4. Communication is Key I know how much you miss them! You’ll receive regular updates and photos so you can see the "Wag" in action. I treat your home with the same respect I give my own, ensuring everything is secure and tidy. 5. Specialized Skills From handling "bully breeds" like my Staffy, Buttercup, to administering medications or even bathing a reluctant cat, I have the hands-on experience to handle the unexpected with a calm, steady hand.

“Arianna did amazing. Great communication and followed instructions. Went above and beyond with my! Would recommend!”
