“Adrienne and her family were great caregivers for our dogs during our vacation. She sent photos and updates twice a day so we knew what they were up to. Awesome pet sitter and we highly recommend!”
“Hilary and her family did an awesome job caring for Oakley this week. She stayed in contact and sent pictures while we were gone! I would definitely recommend her and would book with her again in the future!”
“You can count on Steve. He really is a great human being who truly will take CARE of your four-legger. Titan loves you, Steve, and thanks you for a safe and fun second home while mommy was away from Indiana working hard to pay for the kibbles. God bless and thank you!”
“Sarah was a great fit for Duke. I had to leave town for a funeral so short notice and she was very accommodating. She kept me updated with how Duke was doing through my trip. I would recommend her for everyone to use.”
“Shyann is the best! Our Lexi has stayed with her twice and loved it! Lexi was on medication and not eating like she normally does, Shyann had no problems with our instructions and handled everything like a pro! It’s such a relief when you go out of town knowing that someone is really giving care and love to your furry family member, and that’s what Shyann does! We can relax and enjoy our trip, Shyann sends us fun and adorable pics & videos of Lexi and we really appreciate the extra effort she puts in doing that!”
About: I’ve had dogs since I was 6 years old, and love going on walks and spending quality with pups. Over the years, I’ve pet sat for both young puppies and sweet senior dogs who need a little extra TLC. My goal is to make sure your furry friend feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I'm currently home full-time, so I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give your pup all of the love and care they need! While I don’t have a fenced yard, all outdoor time is supervised - either on walks or a secure lead. I will follow your pet’s routine for feeding, walks, play, and rest, making sure they are safe, happy, and loved. Whether at my home or yours, I treat every pet like family and keep you updated throughout the stay!
“We are very happy with the care Sophie received while she was with John. He is calm, kind and accommodating. His communication is excellent and we really enjoyed the pictures he sent. We would definitely recommend him to others and plan to be a repeat customer.”
“Savannah is an excellent dog sitter! We recently went on a week's vacation, and our one-year-old mini Goldendoodle Bowie did great with Savannah. We received regular photo updates, and she even inquired about better imitating Bowie's daily routine at home so he would be at ease. While drop-off went smoothly, we were late returning from our road trip due to traffic, and Savannah was more than understanding. She was so kind throughout the stay, and we would definitely book with her again!”
“Gerard is a great sitter! Always so responsive, kind, and communicates perfectly! Highly recommend him as he has helped us over and over with caring for our baby when we have to be away from home.”
About: I’ve been a dog owner and foster parent my whole life. I’ve trained and owned all kinds of dogs from Jack Russels and Pomeranians to Great Danes and Golden Doodles. The relationships I build with dogs are enriching and rewarding. The innocence and desire to just be themselves is what I love about animals. I treat my new dog friends like family and I believe they prosper in a relationship that promotes their inner dog as well as setting boundaries that help the human/canine relationship prosper. I embrace the belief of calm assertive dominance and find it that dogs seem to find peace in me being in that role. I am a stay at home parent whose availability is an asset that I utilize for the sake of the animals I care for. I hope to one day befriend your best friend. I’m a stay at home father of 10 and 12 yr old boys. I raise 2 dogs, 2 cats, and 24 chickens. I have lots of flexibility to ensure the care needed for you pet. I love to spend time with animals in the environment they feel most comfortable. With my flexible schedule and the abundance of land on my property and in my locale, I know I can fit the needs of your furry friend.
About: What sets me apart is the calm, family-oriented environment I provide and my flexible schedule. I’m home often, so pets get lots of attention and aren’t left alone for long. I’m patient, gentle, and good at reading animal behavior—especially with shy or high-energy dogs. I’ve cared for puppies and dogs with strong personalities, so I know how to stay calm and consistent. Plus, my kids love animals and are always respectful and supervised around them, which creates a loving and interactive space for your pet. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. Since I work part-time and have a flexible schedule, I’m home often and able to give dogs plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m used to planning my day around the needs of the pets I care for—whether that means regular walks, feeding schedules, playtime, or just making sure they’re comfortable and not alone for too long. My kids are also a big help with giving lots of love and gentle affection. Our home is a calm, safe space, and I’m happy to adjust our routine to meet the needs of your pet. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. In my home, they get plenty of attention, playtime, and a kid-friendly environment. I follow their routine closely—meals, walks, and any special needs.
About: I have fostered dogs my whole life, and rehabilitated many untrained fosters. I basic obedience train all my personal dogs and foster dogs. I have also volunteered at the local animal shelter for the past 3 years. My husband and I work opposite schedules so someone is home majority of the day. I start my day at 4am taking care of my own dogs and work 8-4. My husband’s home all day and leaves for work at 2:30 so your beloved family member will have around the clock care! I have a 6ft privacy fence. I also am very trained in crate and rotating dogs if need be. I am equipped in medication administration as I have two personal dogs on daily meds. I have been trained on how to properly introduce dogs and have fostered many dogs over the past few years. I also have the room and availability to keep your pup separate from other dogs in the home if need be.
“Virginia met us at a local park so we could introduce our shepherd to her before her stay. We talked for almost an hour.... it was wonderful and Virginia is amazing with people as well as dogs. She sent us pictures of our Maggie while we were away to keep us updated on how she was doing. I definitely would use Virginia again in the future and recommend her to anyone needing a loving caretaker for their pet when they are away.”
“I would recommend Haylie and her family! They took care of our new addition to our family while we were away a few days. They were very understanding of her anxiety of being away from her family for the first time since we got her. They took good care of her. She was clean and everything I dropped off for her was also well cared for. She sent multiple videos and photos throughout the stay. I would rebook with Haylie in the future.”
About: I’ve had both dog & cat-sitting experience from a very young age. I’ve trained dogs both personally, & in a professional setting. I’ve yet to meet a fur-baby I don’t wholeheartedly love! My wife is a stay at home mother with plenty of animal experience. She is home all hours that I am not. I’m working 30 to 35 hours a week locally in Muncie, IN. I have a flexible schedule where I am always in town for emergency situations. I have a home in a nice, quiet neighborhood that is animal friendly. My property has a huge backyard suitable for play time. We are a short walk away from a park that dogs can exercise & play.
“Alexis was just wonderful! Great communication and updates, thoughtful little touches that shows how much she loves caring for fur babies. She did exceptionally great with our over-eager Pit mix!”
About: I treat my pets and others like my own family. My dogs get excited when we have other dogs for visits. We board family members dogs regularly with no problems. I am retired and love animals. I work PT occasionally but I know how hard it is if you need reliable care for your pets. I have a small fenced yard and live on a private road where traffic is only 6 owners here and can walk dogs in next neighborhoods if need a longer walk.

Dawn C.
“Dawn has been a pet owner for all the many, many years that I have known her, and she has always given her fur babies the best possible loving care. I would consider her an expert with different breeds, as she has had a number of different breeds over the years, as well as different types of pets, and has somehow managed to create a harmonious environment with no clashes. Her pets only crossed the “Rainbow Bridge” after she had given them a long and happy life, and never once allowed any harm or neglect to come to any of them. I just became a pet owner, and if I needed a caregiver for my fur babies, I know she would provide a safe and happier environment than anyone else.”
Xander B.
“Xander was incredible and my Ollie was treated so well! The communication was great and he treated Ollie like his own. I will be using him again in the future 100%”
