1. Alissa B.

“I highly recommend Alissa for watching your cats! Alissa sent great updates and pictures, and I felt very comfortable with her watching my cat.”


2. Jessie P.

“Very pleased with Jessie. Compassion and daily exercise were given our dog Elton. Would recommend to future clients and will book with her again.”


3. Issabella W.


“we will definitely plan on using Isabella to House & Dog Sitter Hable about how to approach the dog and we trusted her with being in our home. She took the time to meet with us prior to our trip and then came back one time when we weren’t here before we left just to see how Knox our dog would react. She sent daily photos and updates which were greatly appreciated. I would highly recommend her house and dog sitting.”


4. Andrew C.

“Andrew was an absolute godsend while we were away!!! He took the BEST care of our dog, and sent us cute photos and videos each day! He truly listened to what we wanted for our dog (who is older and a little stubborn) and went above and beyond in terms of caring for her like his own beloved pet. He checked in with us to ensure that we were ok with certain things, and did an amazing job of keeping us reassured that things were all a-ok, which was particularly nice since it was our first time experiencing an in-home pet sitter. He left our house in nicer condition than when we left it. I’m pretty sure my dog misses him now that we are home! We have already told him we will be using his services again in the future!!!”


5. Madison "Declan" M.

“Had the best experience and really felt my pets were in the best hands while we were away! Would ask them to watch them again in a heartbeat!”


6. Elizabeth O.
“She's a very kind and sweet person. She will follow instructions to a tee and make sure that her work is satisfactory. She has a good work ethic that she's ready to make better. She has a small dog that she is best friends with.”


7. Hannah G.

“Hannah was amazing. She showed up on time and came across as very warm and responsible. We came home to our house the way that we left it and both kids seemed happy and content. Hannah showed us patience with our elderly dog, Harly who is struggling with bathroom breaks and mild mobility issues. Hannah responded very quickly on our daily checkins and made us feel that the kids were her top priority. We will definitely ask Hannah to watch the kids again. Thanks Hannah!”


8. Alexis W.

“We love Alexis! She took such good care of our 7 year old dog. We rescued him and he has always been a little anxious. He immediately felt at ease with her! She took him on lots of walks and he got lots of pets and cuddles(his favorite). She stayed in our home and kept everything nice and tidy! We hope she is available to watch him again in the future!”


9. Mirabella J.
“Bella was fantastic. Our dogs love her and her communication with us was excellent. Highly recommend her. She was able to work around our schedule.”


10. Benjamin B.
“I've known Benjamin for 10 years and can say without a doubt that he is a more than capable dog sitter. He has taken care of my old and needy 10 year old dog on a number of occasions. He is also a good dog owner currently with his pup Bayla. He is responsible and responsive and anyone utilizing him as a dog sitter would be lucky to have him.”


11. Rachel R.
“Rachel is an excellent dog caretaker. She is very knowledgeable as working with animals is her career. Rachel has a dog of her own so she understands the need to be loving and patient with all animals.”


12. Taylor G.
“Taylor has been a great caregiver of my animals for 3+ years. She is very sweet and patient with them. She is an animal lover, and it shows!! She is always kind and has a smile on her face! I would definitely recommend her for your fur babies!”


13. Katherine K.
“Katherine is a wonderful pet caregiver. She has pet-sat for me many times and my cats were always very comfortable around her, happy, and well taken care of. I have also seen her interact with her own cat for a long time now, and she is always so caring and attentive with her cat. Katherine is reliable, competent, and warm.”


14. Jaden H.

“Jaden was great with our pup, Stan Lee. He got to on plenty of walks and snuggled Jaden. Jaden was very helpful as it was a last minute request so we could go to a show. Would definitely use Jaden again! Bruce and Greta Sievert”


15. Mykhail M.
“She has done such a good job watching my dogs. I needed someone to watch my dog last minute because I needed to help my mom in another state. She rush right over that same night. She treats my dog like they are family. I highly recommend her.”


16. Alexis S.
“Alexis has always had a heart for animals, and is very gentle and compassionate to all furry friends. She develops connections with them quickly and has been a responsible caregiver to dogs, cats, fish, and other animals throughout her life. She is trustworthy and follows directions well, even going beyond what is required to provide extra care to your pets.”


17. Aubrey J.
About: I love animals and I’ve been around them most of my life! I have a dog of my own that I’ve had for 8 years, so I’m very familiar with their behaviors and how to take care of them! Pet care fits into my daily routine as I am currently studying Wildlife Biology and minoring in Aquatic Science at Purdue University. I believe this will be the perfect opportunity to get me started in my animal career! I live in town so it’s perfect to take your dog on a walk whenever they need to go outside! I do have a crate if needed and I have a small dog of my own that I’m sure your dog would love the company. Also, I’m willing to take care of your pet at your home so whatever routines you have to take care of your pet I will follow! I love taking pictures of my pets, so I can definitely take some of your animals too.

About: Dog and Cat owner since I was 6 years old. I’ve taken care of a hamster and fish for 3 years. I would feed, walk, bathe my pets. I have plenty of experience with puppies and kittens. Full time College Student available to work during Holidays. As well as during school breaks. I’m also available during the summer. Evenings and weekends preferred. Multiple pets are ok. I love to walk, brush, and feed all our animals. I love to give lots of snuggles to pets. I’m also able to give medications if needed.


19. Erin M.
About: I've been dog/house sitting for the past two years, during which I've developed a deep understanding of dog care and companionship. I am a high-energy person, which means I’m always ready to go on walks, play, and run around with dogs, ensuring they get plenty of exercise and attention. I also own a 10-month-old Golden Retriever named Daisy, who loves meeting new dogs and making friends. Having Daisy at home means I’m familiar with the care needs of puppies and young dogs, and I'm always prepared to keep your dog engaged and happy. I currently work in an elementary school. My hours are from 7:30-2:30 M-Th, and 7:30-11 on Fridays. My nights and weekends are both wide open. I have a very playful puppy at home and a secure yard where dogs can safely run around on a tie-out, providing them with plenty of space for exercise. I take pride in creating a safe, loving environment for all dogs I care for. With experience in crate training and potty training my own puppy, I understand the importance of routines and consistency. I also ensure that dogs are let out regularly and stick to their set schedules. Above all, I prioritize building trust with both pets and their owners, creating an environment where both feel comfortable and secure.


20. Johwen M.
About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my genuine love for animals, personalized care for each pet, and reliable service. Your pets will feel at home with me! Most of my days end at around 4pm with nothing much left to do, so I’m searching for something to occupy that time, and I love animals so why not this! I care for pets by creating a safe, comfortable environment tailored to their needs. I also follow any specific instructions provided by the pet owners to make sure their pets feel right at home.
