Dog Walking Wigwam

About: I have experience sitting for dogs from 180lbs to 8lbs. I also have experience caring for multiple dogs in a home or just one dog and am keenly aware of group dynamics. I pride myself on my understanding of dog behavior and body language, and I volunteer at my local rescue so I have been exposed to many different personality types and behaviors. I am comfortable walking rowdy, energetic dogs to dogs with great manners on the lead and dogs of any size (I own a horse, a large puller is no problem!). The top two things that I prioritize are your pup’s safety and ensuring that they have their needs met every single day. I also work from home and am able to keep your dogs routine as normal as possible to reduce any stress. My goal is always to make them feel like they are on their own stay-cation! I truly have your dog’s best interest in mind at all times, and I want to give them the best care that I possibly can. You can always ensure that your dog will be cared for and get the exercise that they need even on days with not-so-pleasant Indiana weather. I currently work from home full time, so I am able to change my schedule around as needed and work around your pets needs completely! Safety is always my number one priority in everything that I do. I pride myself on my ability to make sound decisions, and I will never do anything careless or that could put your pup in danger. I consider myself to be an extremely risk averse person, and always have safety at the front of my mind.

About: Animals have always been a part of my life. I treat all animals with dignity and respect. I will do the same for yours. Always. My schedule it’s honestly pretty free so I’m here for you and your animals!! I am a college student but have plenty of time outside of class to take care of your pups🥳 I have a fenced backyard and two very friendly dogs! Your dogs will be well taken care of and have plenty of room to run! I also have a dog door so the dogs will always have access to the backyard when they want!

I took a vet assistant class as well I know how to administer pills, eye drops and more medication. I’m trained in cpr in case of emergency. I’m also trained on dog body language and how to break up a dog fight. I am not a certified trained but can do basics and dream and goal is to become a dog trainer. I have handled many senior dogs. Apart from owning one and being careful and cautious. I am currently part time I only work 2 days a week .and out of school. I start school in fall.

About: Growing up on a 44-acre farm gave me hands-on experience caring for animals of all sizes and needs. Today, as a dog owner myself, I bring that same dedication and attentive care to every pup I watch. Whether your dog needs energetic walks, senior-care patience, medication administration, or gentle playtime, I tailor every visit to their unique personality and routine. You will receive clear communication and regular photo updates so you always know your dog is safe, loved, and happy! Pet care is my primary focus, allowing me to maintain flexible availability for daily drop-in visits, regular dog walks, and overnight stays. Whether your pet needs consistent mid-day check-ins, early morning feedings, or full evening companionship, I easily adapt my daily schedule to match your pet's exact routine. Your pet's safety, security, and comfort are my top priorities. In your home, I strictly follow all care instructions, ensure double-locked doors and gates, and maintain a quiet, stress-free environment. For stayovers or visits, I keep a close eye on pet behavior, provide personalized one-on-one attention, and send regular photo and text updates so you always have full peace of mind.

About: I'm an AKC certified service dog trainer and evaluator and I absolutely love what I do. I've always had a passion for animals, and have had many throughout my childhood and adult years. Working with animals is my full time job, from training basic/advanced obedience and service for both mental and physical disabilities, to dog sitting, walking, or just wanting to get some energy out and socialization in. Whatever you may need, I can almost guarantee I can offer, including knowledge and advice that you can bring with you for a lifetime. I have 2 large dogs and 4 cats of my own, all well behaved, up to date with shots, fixed, and well trained. My roommate is also an AKC trainer and evaluator. I would mostly prefer to stay with your fur babies in their own environment to stay with routine as much as possible, or other arrangements can be discussed. If reactivity of any kind is a concern for you and you'd like to speak with someone about training options, I can refer you to my roommate who specializes in reactive rehabilitation, with many strong and positive client reviews of success with her training. Working with dogs is my only job. I have training and socialization appointments with dogs/clients I already have scheduled weekly visits with. These appointments last from 1-3 hours Wednesday-Saturday. During this time I can schedule time for your fur babies, or if I am dog sitting for you, can stop in between appointments for potty breaks, their lunch feedings, and playtimes. If discuss together, they can also join in with socialization appointments to dog parks or walks. While I won't provide boarding in my own home, that doesn't mean I won't bring your fur babies over for a playdate with mine if consented to with you. I have 2 well behaved large dogs, a fully trained service husky and a service dog in training german shepherd/husky mix. Both are very friendly and absolute sweethearts with new dogs. We work and train with them daily, take many trips to the dog park down the road, and they eat homemade topper fit for kings with all their meals. When I am staying with your fur babies in your home, I send daily updates with pictures about how your babies are doing, follow all instructions to a T, and do my best to leave your lovely home exactly the way I found it. I am known to do some light cleaning (mopping, vacuuming, washing of laundry that I used, etc) before I leave as I don't like leaving messes and like to be mindful of you coming back from a long work trip or vacation that just left you tuckered out. I know the last thing you want to do is clean up after someone lol!

About: What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give to each animal. I treat every pet as if they were my own, taking the time to learn their routine, personality, and specific needs so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I provide regular updates, photos, and clear communication so you always know how your pet is doing. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and focused on creating a stress-free experience for both pets and their owners. My goal isn’t just to watch your pet, it’s to make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for until you return. I’m currently in the military but I don’t work many hours due to being postpartum! You won’t have to worry about you pet not getting enough attention or being crated! I provide care based on each pet’s individual routine and needs, whether I’m caring for them in my home or in the client’s home. I make sure they receive their regular feeding schedule, fresh water, exercise, playtime, and plenty of attention and affection. I closely monitor their behavior and well-being, administer medications if needed, and maintain a clean, safe environment. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I work to keep their routine as normal as possible to reduce stress and help them feel comfortable in their familiar surroundings. I also provide updates, photos, and communication so owners can have peace of mind while they’re away. My priority is ensuring every pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for, just as they would with their own family.

About: I have over 10 years of professional experience + have been a dog owner for over 15 years. I am Fear Free certified, CPR & First Aid certified, and have taken multiple canine behavioral & training courses with the Karen Pryor Academy. I am currently employed at a pet boutique and ER vet clinic. I am very passionate about canine nutrition & enrichment! Because I work three 12-hour shifts each week, I am unavailable on Sundays, Mondays, and Tuesdays. Wednesday through Saturday, I am available to stay in your home full-time and provide continuous care, which is reflected in my rates. If your pets do not require 24/7 care, please reach out to me to discuss discounted rates! My Fear Free education has reinforced my belief that pets are often happiest and most comfortable in their own familiar environment. For this reason, I exclusively provide care in my clients’ homes and do not offer services in my home.

“Christina was so great, she’s so nice and communicative. Luna loved her walks with her.”

About: I have appreciated all animals since childhood. I own a puppy named Kira. We enjoy hiking, playing with her toys and, of course, taking walks. I have had her since she was six weeks old. About three years ago, we chose to add a sibling. Her name is Mouse! She is a Siamese cat we adopted at six weeks old. They have been inseparable since she arrived. Training has occurred off and on for years. I conduct leash work both on and off the lead. Basic puppy training includes potty training, sit, and lay down commands. I also practice staying or enough, and the go ahead cues. I work with them to avoid pulling on a leash and to slow their intake of food or water. I would like to learn more about training for deaf or blind animals. I actually just moved back to Colorado after six years so I’m trying to slowly get on my feet. I’m usually free most days. My schedule is usually potty and breakfast never in the same order depending on the day! Loves dog parks, hikes, water, and long car rides with the windows down. Cuddles are the best; it might turn into a nap😁. Love to end our day with a good walk to get the last of the energy out for the day! Love to end the night with a good dinner and some tv time. Oh and don’t forget the cuddles and warm blankets 🥰 I want to make sure they have water and food. A cool place to be and a way out to do there business. I would treat them the way I would want my fur baby to be taken care of if I’m away from home. Not great with words but great with proving my worth as a worker!

“Arianna does an excellent job with our three dogs. We have three miniature dachshunds that are somewhat aggressive. She is very patient and calm with them and even brought a trainer with her to help with the aggressiveness. Now they jump in her lap. We can now go places we were not able to before. I highly recommend all her services.”

“Jennie was very flexible and accomodating with scheduling an initial meeting and walking our dog while we had a last minute trip out of town. He can be a handful on walks and she did really well with him! On top of that, our flight got cancelled and Jennie was nice enough to walk and feed our dog an extra night and morning before we could get home! I really appreciated that she didn't just leave him to fend for himself alone and made time in her schedule to help us out!”

About: Animal lover of all types and sizes. Flexible schedule for the care of your dogs, cats, and exotics. Veterinary technician experience of 2+ years with formal education. Extensive experience with bottle feeding and the attentive care of very young kittens. I have a very flexible work schedule, and I update my pet care hours weekly. I am normally available ANY day after 5:30 as well. Text me for special requests! I have fenced yard and spare room which is kept separate from my own pets. I also live in very close proximity to several paved walking trails, and would love to cater to wooded, unpaved trail environments as well. In your home, or on walks, i will utilize my veterinary experience to read your pet's emotional and physical state as well as your careful instructions to provide the utmost care.

About: I’ve been caring for pets my whole life, I have a wide range of of experience from Dogs, Cats, Hamsters, Trantulas, turtles, birds, and lizards. The best part of my day is always when I get to run into an animal. Animals are who I am, and I’m so grateful for them there’s nothing better in this life thank coming home to your furry best friend. I can administer prescription medication, work with and try to teach tricks, I can work on potty training, I can work with anxious pets. I love animals and have 2 dogs of my own 9 & 1 1/2 Aussie & Terrier Mix. My Aussie loves balls, to be the center of attention, and to show off just how smart she is! My Mix communicates with buttons, she loves squeaky toys, she’s a big cuddler, she also an anxious girly who requires a lot of time and patience. I can feed, water, bathe, play, and look over your pet to make sure they are in good health. I can lay with them, cuddle them, give them treats, and work with them if they are anxious.

About: I have grown up with dogs and I am a dog lover. I have three dogs of my own and believe dogs are your family. I enjoy going for walks with dogs and will provide them the attention they need. If you work odd hours I am the person for you. I understand that not everyone works a 9-5 shift and it is important that your dog(s) are able to get some interaction even in the evenings. I have raised our dogs from puppies and have also recused dogs. I understand the importance of bonding with a dog and it is important that trust is formed. I will take care of your dog as if it were my own and follow all instructions provided. Thank you.

About: I have been involved with caring for household pets including cats, dogs, fish, birds, and ferrets for my whole life, and have been a pet sitter and a house sitter for 10+ years. What makes me their best friend is consistency, gentle but firm boundaries and unbelievable amounts of fun. My dog Archibald Archimedes is 70lbs of love, and it took a lot of love based training and exercise to get him to be the stellar dog he is. I will devote this same patient love to your fur friends. Exercise, hikes, adventures, snow days, potty breaks, boarding in compatible situations, I'll do it all to give your pet the scheduled care and attention they need. I have non-traditional, very flexible self employment, as a landlord and an airbnb cleaner. As it stands right now my dog and I do about three walks a day and I'm ready for more! Open 7 days a week right now and I'll update availability regularly! I would love to take your dogs on walks or visit them in your home for a potty break and some cuddle time and attention. I love older pets and can provide massage and calm stimulation for for our senior buddies. I understand the need for consistency and am delighted to help with basic medical care. I love when my clients give me a list of how their pet likes to be cared for, and what games they like to play, or even what silly nicknames they respond to. I'm devoted to building my business with Rover, and thus have great availability and lowered rates. I have my own dog and we thrive in an environment with exercise, enrichment, play and love. I have a "getting to know you" form with basic questions that help me keep consistency and safety. Be as detailed as you like, I'll follow it to a tee! Pets who come to my house enjoy a fenced yard, full access to furniture and beds, no plants or undesirable items within reach and tons of fun activities, approved snacks and attention!
