“From an early age Brooke loved animals. Brooke is kind, intelligent & conscientious. She takes wonderful care of my much beloved & very spoiled Boston Terrier.”


8. Shari B.


“Shari is so sweet! She was great with my two big dogs. Of course most people get scared when big dogs are barking at them, but she was comfortable to just let them do their barking and growling circling her until they realized she was friendly. Very gentle and genuine with my dogs. She left a note thanking me for letting her walk my furbabies and told me how they did. Generous touch. I'm definitely going to book with her again!!”

About: I love dogs and have been caring for them since I was 12. With me, your pet will have the “Cool Aunt” as their sitter (with a couple dad jokes slid in as well). We’ll be the Paw-fect match! I’m currently working full time, so on top of meeting all of your pet’s needs, we’ll be taking advantage of long walks in good weather or doing fun activities such playing hide in seek or watching a relatable film for movie night (Beethoven is my favorite!) My services of care will depend on your instructions and boundaries for your fur baby along with your home. I take pride in doing what I do best whilst making sure every expectation you have of me is met.


10. Elena C.

“Elena was fantastic with my old girl. I know my dog can be very shy when meeting new people and I heard she warmed right up! She was excited every time Elena came to pick her up for a walk. Thank you for putting my mind at ease and taking such good care of Chloe. ?❤️”

16. Nicolle M.
About: Since I was born, I’ve been around dogs, cats, reptiles, and even birds! I grew up with my parents breeding Rottweilers and pit-bulls, so I have experience with dogs that are considered to be “aggressive” in others’ eyes. I have been the primary trainer and caretaker for every pet I’ve owned since I was a child. I have a very maternal nature with animals. I currently have 2 dogs (Shiba Inu and Chihuahua) as well as 3 cats (one being a rescue kitten). My partner has also been fostering all types of animals for about 5 years. I have no biases when it comes to animals. They are all deserving of love and care, and I am dedicated to giving your fur baby the best care so that they never feel lonely away from you. I am currently not working, so now I am extremely flexible! Caring for animals is something I would like to dedicate all my time to. All of my animals are properly socialized and get along with every animal they come into contact with, if you would like your animal(s) to be socialized, I have no problem bringing them around my animals. If keeping them separated is something you prefer, I have space for them and a fenced in backyard for them to run around in safely. I also have a very keen attention to detail so I will make sure that your pet gets all the medications or attention that it needs to be happy and healthy!


17. LAUREN S.
“Lauren has been amazing! We are so lucky to have found her. She has cared for our dog and three cats on a regular basis. Her schedule is flexible and she has even been able to help out when something comes up at the last minute. All of our pets adore her. Our dog enjoys going on walks or playing out side with her. Even the cats come running when she calls for them.”


18. Abigail S.
“Abigail is super responsible, she has watched over my home of animals before, I have a cat & a snake & a big dog & she did great just watching them for me as a friend. I would trust her with my animals any day of the week.”


19. Emily N.

“I will happily be going back to Emily again to watch my dog! I ended up needing someone to watch my German Shepherd puppy for 3 weeks while I made an emergency trip to Indy to help care for my sick mother. I was very worried leaving my new puppy with a stranger but she was highly recommended by a friend. Emily was great on taking care of Bear like he was apart of her family. He was also only 9 weeks old and not potty trained at the time I dropped him off with her but she managed to have him trained within two weeks to ring a bell and let us know when he needed to go out!! I was very impressed, I also loved the daily updates of pictures and even allowing me to video chat with Bear. I felt very happy with my decision to leave him in her care and could not thank her enough!”


20. Jamie M.
“Jamie is one of the very few people I trust with my babies! She is loving and responsible and understanding of dog behavior and needs. I've entrusted several of my pets to her and will continue to!”
