About: I’ve been a pet owner my whole life. I have 3 dogs and 2 cats that I love! Any time I have the opportunity to care for an animal is a time I am grateful for! I love to take walks with my pups, play games with my cats, and snuggle with all of the above! I work from home with a flexible schedule. I have animals in my home so I am not open to caring for other pets at my residence. But I have a lot of availability and willingness to care for your pet at your home or do dog walks. I have experience crating my pets, taking walks on leashes, and play time in a fenced yard. I can adapt to your pet needs and follow all necessary safety protocols.
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.
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: With 10 years of experience caring for dogs, I offer personalized and attentive care tailored to each dog’s unique needs. I specialize in training puppies, ensuring they develop good habits from the start. Additionally, I provide extra care for senior dogs, making sure they stay comfortable and happy. I also keep their living spaces clean and safe, so your dog feels at home. You can trust that your dog will receive the best care while you’re away. I’ll be sure to treat them as if they’re my own! I’m currently a student at Trine University! I have school 5 days out of the week (Mon.-Fri.) and am done around 4:00pm. There are somedays I’m available in the morning and also I have time on my lunch to stop by and take your dog for a walk or let them out to go potty. My schedule is open overall in the evenings and on weekends! When I care for pets in my home, I make sure they feel comfortable and safe, like they’re part of the family. I keep their space clean, play with them, and follow any instructions like feeding and exercise. If I’m watching your pet in your home, I make sure they stick to their usual routine, keep their space tidy, and give them lots of love and attention. Whether in my home or yours, your pet will feel cared for and happy!
About: All my pet experiences are personal growing up with cats and dogs that have been rescued! I have experience with administering both oral and injectable medications. I am a stay at home mom who will be at the house the majority of the time to give your furry friend all the attention they deserve! Henry our rescue terrier-mix loves to have a friend or two to frolic with and have sleepovers! We enjoy going on walks around the neighborhood and visiting the dog park!
“Makayla is awesome! My dog can be hesitant around new people but immediately warmed up to her which I immediately recognized as a win. She went above and beyond to make sure both my dog and I were comfortable, with her excellent communication, flexibility, and easy-going disposition. I would 100% recommend Makayla to anyone looking for exceptional care for their four-legged loved one.”

About: I’ve had both dogs and cats for over 10 years, and animals have always been a part of my life! We currently have a sweet 4-year-old cat who we absolutely adore. Caring for animals is second nature to me, and I’ll treat your pet with the same love and attention I give my own. I am a stay at home mom and I homeschool our 7 year old! She will be with me on walks and drop in visit! I have a flexible schedule to walk your dog or drop in to check on your dog or cat! I have a cat and we are mindful and take precautions so he doesn’t get outside. He was a bit of an escape artist, we were told when we adopted him. I’m a responsible, experienced pet caregiver offering drop-ins and walks with a calm, nurturing approach. My well-behaved 7-year-old will be with me, and we’re both gentle, respectful, and great with animals. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority, and you can expect clear communication and dependable care.
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: Nursing by trade, so administering medication’s is second nature to me. Oral medication’s And if need be shots. My previous dog required medication twice a day and weekly shots, so senior care comes second nature to me. Currently have 1 dog, a 2 year old golden retriever. I currently work Monday-Friday, for about 5 hours a day. After that I am pretty open! I can also move my schedual around to accommodate if needed I love dogs more than people somedays. (honesty truly is the best policy) My 2 year old Golden Retriever is currently In training to be a therapy pup, so your fur baby will get to socialize. I live in a nice neighborhood with plenty of walking trails and sidewalks. I have a nice back yard, in a quiet neighborhood. Linoleum floors throughout my house, which makes it perfect for puppies accidents, who are not quite housebroken.
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: Animals have been a passion of mine all of my life. I have owned and cared for many species including fish, reptiles, birds, hamsters, dogs and cats. My love for animals brought me to work as a veterinary assistant and later to attend the Tom Rose School for Professional Dog Trainers. I have now been training and competing with my own dogs for 20 years and am also a professional dog trainer. As a trainer, I have earned the credentials to be an AKC Canine Good Citizen/S.T.A.R. Puppy/ Farm Dog/ Trick dog evaluator. With my veterinary assistant and dog training experience I have gained the knowledge to properly handle and care for many beloved pets. I can assure you that I will treat your pets as if they were my own. I am looking forward to meeting you and your furry family member! I am available most days. Mondays and Wednesdays I am unavailable between 9:00AM-5:00PM. I have plenty of time to provide services for you and your pets. If boarding in my home- you can use my crates or bring your own. I have a nice, fenced play yard that I use to let my dogs and visiting dogs run and play (I do not let my own dogs play with visiting dogs). I also have a built-in dog bathtub that I can used to give your dog a nice bath (for an added fee) before they return home upon request. When I visit a home- I follow given instructions and keep the area clean. My goal is for you to not even notice I was there. When I visit to walk your pet-I follow instructions and keep the area clean. I remain aware and not distracted. This ensures your pet remains safe and engaged during the walk. If your dog is more fearful-I try to make the walk as stress-free as possible.
