“Abbey did a great job with my two dogs when I went on an overnight trip. She had great communication and sent me some cute pictures of them. I don’t often leave them with someone they don’t know, but Abbey was splendid and I would definitely book her again!”
“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.”
“Jessie was so so so amazing!!! Beyond professional and asked us so many thorough questions during the meet and greet we felt really good about leaving our babies in her care while out of the country!! We were able to have a relaxing vacation knowing our animals and house were safe !!”
“We always hate leaving our dogs behind but Graci took such good care of them I would definitely have her come stay with them again. She was very responsive and sent many pictures! Thank you so much Graci!”
“Ella was amazing. She took my booking last minute and responded quickly. Ella showed up on time and seemed eager to meet our boys. You can tell Ella genuinely loves animals. Ella made us feel comfortable leaving the boys behind in her care. We came home to happy kids and the house just the way we left it. Ella kept in contact during her stay and sent us pictures and updates often. I would definitely book Ella again! Highly recommended!”
About: Juno is my name! From walks and potty breaks to snuggles and playtime, I can do it all! My love for animals is infinite. I've done years of pet sitting and even worked at a pet store where I learned so much! Proper animal care is what I strive for. Working with skiddish, tough walkers, anti-social, or loud pups I am comfortable with! I grantee you and your pet(s) will be satisfied beginning to end! Currently I have open availability all week! I will have tons of free time to play, walk, feed, bathe, anything you work need me to! It is very important that your bestie is safe and sound! That being said, I don't ever lose sight of where your pet is at. If they're a little shy and hiding, I am frequently checking in on them!
“There aren’t words to describe how amazing and wonderful MacKenzie was to my family and sweet pups. We had a death in the family and were needing an extremely last minute booking. Due to my corgis having anxiety, I decided to try a home stay through Rover (first experience). She was competitively priced and incredibly responsive. Not to mention flexible and willing to accommodate every need! She messaged daily multiple times with pictures of my sweet puppers (which was a welcomed relief from the sadness we were dealing with) and kept my house neat and tidy. Definitely will be utilizing her again in the future if she chooses us to bless us with her services!!!”
“Bella was GREAT with our pup! He can be a bit of a handful from time to time and she managed his weirdness extremely well. She left our home nice and tidy as well. Will definitely be asking her to watch George again!”
About: I have experience with watching dogs and cats. I have dealt with puppies and senior dogs a like. I have had to give senior dogs pills for their health while watching them. I have dealt with puppies and potty training them. I have walked dogs before. I have plenty of time to watch and care for your dogs. I can watch them just about anytime during the week and after 1pm on the weekends. I watch pets and take them out when they need to. I can crate your dog if needed and can also feed them and clean up after them.
“Evelyn was great with my pets and they enjoyed her. I got lots of cute pictures and updates. She worked great with my schedule that was based on how quickly I was driving through not good weather and we got back almost 12hrs later than intended. I came home to my house cleaner than I left it too which was a great surprise after driving 1800 miles in under 48 hours. She even watched a couple of my clients pets that had last minute bookings!”
About: I’ve owned animals my whole life. At the age of 14 I had my cat/dog boarding/daycare/grooming job. I am now 18 and am still working with dogs almost everyday! I’m currently working part-time , so I would love to spend extra time with your furr babies! I also have my own transportation to your house and back. I will have to care for pets from other people homes/My Car because I have two scary guard dogs that aren't okay with other dogs.
“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”
About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was little. I’ve had both big and little dogs, with other small animals as well. Many neighbors, family members, and friends have trusted me to take care of their animals when needed. I am a student at Ball State with have plenty of time to take care of your pets! I am available everyday, so clients work schedules are no problem for me. This past summer I worked for a cleaning service to take care of peoples homes. I am responsible with others belongings and handle them with care. While I am not taking care of pets then, I handle everything with the same attitude.
“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!”
About: I am capable and comfortable taking care of dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments! I’ve helped leash, house, and crate train a few dogs as well! I currently work part time and would love to fill my extra time with animals, so I have plenty of time to take care of pets with almost any needs! Though I’m not able to board your pet at my house I promise to provide quality care at your home and keep them safe and happy
“Excellent in all ways and so happy Charlie received so much love and attention. I really appreciated everything nice and tidy as well! What a nice welcome home after our long trip!! #1 sitter in my book!!”
“Taylor is the most amazing person I had my dog with , Heather is a very shy dog took her a month to make up to family Taylor did it and I watched from afar as she gained her love and I do mean her love . She’s always welcome into my home and in our Hearts John and Heather”
About: I worked at a humane society for 2 years and am still a volunteer. I have worked with many different types of dogs and cats, administered medications, dealt with emergent situations, etc. I am looking to add pet care in to my life part time, along with my full time job and my current volunteer hours at the shelter. With the services I will be providing, dog walking, check ins, and house sitting, I do not think that the animal will be at my house.

“Juno is the sweetest cat sitter for an old lady like myself. She takes such great care of my babies Pudding, Sassy and Clover.
