I can't speak highly enough about how well Sheryl cared for my dog during a weeklong stay. She kept me updated on how Kira was settling into a full schedule of walks and treats. Sheryl's love of animals is obvious and taking good care of Kira felt more like a priority than a pasttime for her. I will definitely seek out her services in the future.

I am new to the area, and Chelsie was very close by. She responded promptly and communicated clearly. I brought Riley over, and Chelsie kindly met me at the car. I was having some difficulty with the long lead, and Riley immediately went up to her as if they had known each other for a long time. When Riley heard the dogs barking inside the house, she led Chelsie to the door, which was quite charming. I realized I forgot to mention something to Chelsie, but she responded right away. On my way back to pick up Riley, I got caught in traffic, so Chelsie graciously brought Riley out to me, and Riley happily got into the car without any issues. After we returned home, I noticed that Riley's card was filled out, and there was a detailed note, along with photos of Riley's day, showing that she had gone for a walk and played with her dogs. Overall, I would rate the experience as excellent, and Riley will definitely be visiting again.

Buddy loved his day with Leanna and her family. He was in good spirits when I came to collect him, and loved the extra attention throughout the day. Leanna is a great communicator, and I could tell Buddy felt super comfortable with her and her home. Thanks so much again for being so kind!

This is the second time our dog has gone to Amanda, and it has been a positive experience both times. She does some nice long walks and our boy loves that! He comes home good and tired! She’s a very nice person who seems to care for our pup the way she would care for her own. Definitely recommend and will be back again!

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I’ve also rescued dogs and helped care for friends’ pups, so I understand how important it is to know your dog is safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m a very active person and love taking dogs on long walks and making sure they get plenty of exercise, fresh air, and all the good smells along the way. I work from home, which gives me flexibility and availability throughout the day, and I truly enjoy having dogs in my home and making them feel comfortable. I’m professional, responsible, loving, and attentive, and I take pet care seriously. I recently lost my own dog, and caring for other people’s dogs feels like a meaningful way to share that love and fill that space in my heart. I’m excited for the opportunity to help give pet parents peace of mind so they can enjoy their time away, knowing their pups are happy, healthy, and in good hands. I work from home, so pet care fits naturally into my day. I’m able to give dogs attention throughout the day and easily carve out time for walks, potty breaks, play, and check-ins—morning, midday, and evening. I also make activity a priority, so getting pups out for fresh air (and plenty of sniff time!) is always part of the routine. Most importantly, I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual schedule and preferences so they have a consistent experience that feels familiar—mealtimes, walk frequency, crate/free-roam routines, medications, and any special instructions. My goal is for your dog to feel comfortable, cared for, and right at home while you’re away. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in yours, my top priority is always making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I take the time to learn each dog’s routine, personality, and needs so I can provide care that feels familiar and consistent. I focus on creating a calm, caring environment with plenty of attention, activity, and affection, while also keeping safety and well-being front and center at all times. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I also make communication a priority. I provide frequent updates, photos, and check-ins so you can feel confident, relaxed, and stress-free while you’re away. My goal is simple: happy dogs and peace of mind for their people.

About: Growing up, we always had pets around. Dogs, bunnies, hamsters, guinea pigs, etc. I’ve learned how to care for all kinds of animals over the years and found so much joy in having them around. I’ve pet sat for many families as well and am excited to continue doing so! My husband and I got married last year and have truly loved settling into our home and daily routine. This April, we welcomed our baby girl, and our home has been even more full of love and joy ever since. We’re both lifelong animal lovers who grew up with pets, so having dogs around makes our home feel complete. I’m a stay at home mom, which means I’m home throughout the day and able to give your dog lots of attention, walks, outdoor time, and plenty of love. My husband is a firefighter for Bloomington which means his schedule also allows him to be home quite a bit so your dog will receive tons of attention. With our newborn in the home, we do ask that any dogs we care for are comfortable and gentle around children so everyone stays safe and happy. We’re still able to give your pup tons of love, attention, and great care, we just want to make sure it’s the right fit for both your dog and our family! I make sure to create a cozy and comforting environment and make sure each pup has exactly what they need for a healthy and happy stay. From playtime to cuddles, each pet is treated with respect, care, and as part of our family.

Tofte had a great time at Alecia & Todd's. They had a great backyard for him to run in, and he enjoyed hanging out with all of the family members and other dogs at their house. Alecia was very understanding of some of Tofte's anxiety-related concerns, and we felt very confident leaving him in her care. She sent great updates and photos of the fun time he was having and how he was getting along well with everyone. We'll definitely use them again!

Tracy was such a great pet sitter for Luna. She was very patient and has a terrific place! We were visiting from out of town for a wedding. Tracy was available and Luna had a great time. Tracy kept us updated and sent a few pictures as well. I highly recommend her and will return again when we are in town. She was also very close to Lebanon Hills campground which is where we were staying, so also convenient from there too! Thanks again! Steve, Gloria, and Luna
