About: I’ve had dogs since I was 5, and i’ve watched dogs for family and friends! I’ve taken care of dogs as small as a Yorkie, to as big as a Great Dane! I currently work as a softball coach so I am typically not available on Tuesdays or Thursdays past 5pm. Additionally, I have tournaments on the weekends which make me unavailable most weekends. But this all means that I would love to work for you during the day while you’re at work or just need a break! I can watch your dog in your own home, and I am very comfortable taking dogs outside or in the back yard. I will listen to your instructions regarding food and crating, as I know every home and animal is different!

About: I've taken care of dogs for over a year. Friends and family always come home to a happy pooch! I'll also ensure your fur babys wellbeing by providing appropriate food and water. Caring for pets is part of my daily routine, not just a side task. I am available full-time during the week to ensure your fur baby receives dependable, loving, and structured care. I have a fenced yard were your fur baby can run and play. If your fur baby needs assistance with medication you can ensure I will be there to make sure their medication is taken on time.

About: Hi, my name is Maddie, I’ve been caring of animals for as long as I can remember! I have watched friends and families dogs over the last several years, as well as taking care of my own dogs and cats since I was little. I am constantly around animals and dedicated to making sure that every animal feels comfortable, safe, and loved and I understand that every animal has a unique personality and routine ☺️ With my current job, I have a lot of flexibility. My shifts are primarily on weekend nights, giving me availability during the weekdays from morning to evening and I often have weekend availability during the daytime. I am comfortable with adhering to their needs and overcoming any challenges that may arise. I will provide a comfortable, safe environment for you and your pets.

Heather made us feel very comfortable about the whole process. She came for a meet and greet before our trip so she could get acquainted with our dog. While we were away she sent us daily updates with pictures of Nebu. You could really see he was enjoying himself with her. Will definitely contact her again when going away for vacation.

About: I am reliable, attentive, and genuinely love animals. I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away, and I always follow routines and instructions closely. I am currently at home for the summer from college and pet care fits easily into my routine, allowing me to provide consistent attention, exercise, feeding, and companionship throughout the day! I care for pets by following their normal routines, including feeding, walks, playtime, and cleaning up after them. I make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for whether I’m in my home or my client’s home, and I always respect specific instructions provided by the owner.

About: I’m a lifelong dog lover and experienced pet caregiver. Sometimes I think dogs like me better than humans do 😂😂. I have the time, patience, and passion to care for your pup as if they were my own. We share our home with a sweet, rescued pitbull who was formerly a bait dog. She’s now thriving with love, patience, and a gentle routine. I also previously owned a cavapoo, so I understand the unique needs of both large and small dogs—from high-energy playtime to cozy cuddles. Lots of cuddles and scritches. I’m a teacher in my 16th year of teaching elementary school music, and I’m looking to make some extra cash for my upcoming wedding and to fill my time over summer breaks. Couldn’t think of a better way than spending time with animals!! We have a SUPER SWEET pitbull and a very dog-like cat and both are very attached to me! I feed and groom both animals, walk the dog, play with them, tend to their bathroom needs, give them lots of scritches and luvins! They sleep with me and are at my side wherever I go, always following me around the house (but never the other people in our household! :).

Nina did a wonderful job taking care of our two cats and fish. Both of our cats are on medications with one getting daily injections, and she handled those with no issues. She also looked after my fish, in a high tech aquarium, providing daily video clips so I could monitor things while away. We definitely recommend Nina and will use her again.

About: I grew up around a variety of animals my whole life and I have been caring for others pets since I was 13 years old. I have always loved animals and treat everyone's pets as if they were my own. My senior year of high school I created my senior project around therapy dogs and helping special needs children. I trained my own dog to be a certified therapy dog through the organization known as Pet Partners. The remainder of the project was visiting with special needs children and doing educational activities. We also visited libraries and young children with developing their reading skills. I recently graduated from Purdue University with an Animal Science degree which has allowed me to gain even more knowledge on how to care for people's pets. I also have knowledge of animal CPR and first aid for cats and dogs. I'm looking forward to being apart of this pet care community and providing excellent care to all the pets I encounter.

About: As a dog handler with three years of experience, I've worked with a diverse range of breeds, from large dogs to small ones. My responsibilities included performing nail trims and bathing, ensuring each dog was comfortable and well-cared for during grooming sessions. I developed strong handling skills and a keen understanding of canine behavior, allowing me to create a positive experience for both the dogs and their owners. I’m currently working full-time, but I’m available for boarding on weekends and weekdays after 3 PM. I’ll make sure your pets get plenty of attention, care, and playtime while you’re away! I provide attentive, reliable care tailored to each pet’s needs. In my home or a client’s home, I make sure they have fresh food and water, playtime, and plenty of attention. I follow any specific instructions the owner provides, keep the space clean and safe, and make sure pets feel comfortable and loved while their humans are away.
