About: I have had dogs most of my life. I had dobermans as a young kid, a yellow labrador as a teen, and a beagle and a mixed shepherd as an adult. I currently still have my mixed shepherd who I rescued 11 years ago. She is 12 now. I love all dogs, big and small. I am retired so I am available on most days and most times. I have my own transportation and I am able to drive to anywhere within reason. I have a fenced in 1/2 acre property. I have a doggie door that can accompany a large dog. There is plenty of shade in the backyard.
“We have used Daisy twice now and she is amazing amd very easy to work with! My dogs love her and we will definitely be using her services again! 10/10 recommend for your fur babies.”

“Emily did an AMAZING job caring for our dog and cat. She was very thorough in following our requested guidance and our animals were very well loved in her care. She also was a great communicator about when she would be coming by and took lots of photos. Everyone was very happy when we got back home. Thanks, Emily!”

“I highly recommend Jennifer to help with your pets. we had to go to the east coast recently and was a bit nervous just having our older cat boarded. Jennifer, came twice a day to care for our cat providing updates and her status as well as pictures. We were able to keep our cat in our home and our cat was much better off for it.”


“Just got back with Cynthia as our dog walker when she moved back to the area. She is great with Dingo and he listens to her very well. They have a good relationship and he trusts her. Very happy to have her back!”

About: Hello! I’m a sitter in Lakeside offering loving, attentive care! I’ve been a cat and dog mom my entire life and a foster parent for dogs of all ages and sizes for over 5 years—from gentle giants to tiny pups. I’m passionate about daily walks, potty breaks, and providing love and care. If your dog needs medications, I’m experienced and comfortable administering them safely! Happy to do a meet & greet to make sure it’s a great fit for everyone! Best, Angelina Darling I’m a student learning from home so I have an extremely flexible schedule that allows me to give your pets consistent care, walks, and attention throughout the day! Whether I’m caring for pets at my home or yours, I will always provide walks, playtime, meals (and medication as needed) making sure your furry friends feel safe and loved!
About: (español abajo) I grew up with dogs and cats in Indiana and know how important truly individualized care is for each pet. I have experience owning cats and dogs ranging from round-the-clock care for tiny kittens who haven’t opened their eyes, fostering seniors with special needs, and providing enrichment activities for healthy adults and engaging walks for healthy good boys and girls. Whatever your pet’s/pets’ needs, I’m excited to meet them and build their trust. Como abogada de inmigración, también sé español! Crecí con perros y gatos en el estado de Indiana, y sé que importante es tener cuidado individualizado por cada mascota. Tengo experiencia como dueña de gatos y perros, incluso como proveer servicio por todas horas a gatitos recién nacidos, cuidar mascotas de edades avanzadas y con necesidades especiales, y hacer actividades con mascotas de cualquier edad. Lo que sean las necesidades de su/s mascota/s, estoy emocionada conocerlos y ganar su confianza.

“Jennilee was a great help. She took care of our two dogs and one cat for an evening feeding and playtime for a one-week period. She stepped in last-minute and did a great job with pets and a house she didn’t know. Thanks, Jennilee!!”


About: I’ve had about 13 dogs of different breeds in my lifetime. Every dog that I’ve had in my life still carry on in my heart. I was responsible for all of my dogs and made sure to attend to their needs in a safe manner. I’m able to work any day of the week as long as it’s 8-3pm. I’m just not available around 4-6, but I am able to care for them in my home if necessary. We have a screen door and our parking lot is gated, so there is no way for them to get through. There is also a park nearby that is great for walking.
“Jill R took such good care of my 2 cats (one elderly). She was in daily communication and sent me pictures of my babies ❤️ She gave me such peace of mind since I hadn’t left the cats since 2020 I highly recommend her!!”

“We have had Jewels twice now as drop-in sitter for our Bella (cat) and both times Jewels has cared for Bella perfectly. The food, water and litter is handled with care and excellent hygiene. Bella is so picky with sitters and has popped out to interact with Jewels a few times. We see that as a super positive sign that Jewels has a kind energy. Cats don't hide their feelings so if Bella likes Jewels, she is a winner in our book. Highly recommend.”


“We usually book Sarah for overnight stays, so it was great to see that she also provides drop ins. She was communicative as always and left us feeling confident that our dogs were well taken care of. Thank you, Sarah!”

About: I’ve basically grown up caring for animals — I started bottle‑feeding foster puppies and kittens when I was about six, so I have roughly 15 years of hands‑on experience. I currently have five pets of my own and have been pet- and house‑sitting for neighbors and family friends for 5+ years. I’m comfortable with very young animals (bottle feeding, socialization, scheduled feedings), puppies, and senior pets. I’m reliable, attentive to each pet’s routine, and treat every animal as if they were my own — whether that means long energetic walks, supervised play, or quiet care for a recovering or older pet. I am currently a college student with a very flexible schedule. I am available for check ins, walks and over nights/ house sitting as needed! I adapt to each pet’s routine and home rules so they stay comfortable and stress‑free. In the pet’s home: - Follow the owner’s schedule for feeding, walks, play, and rest exactly. - Use provided leashes, harnesses, crates, and medications; administer meds and record times. - Keep pets on lead when going outside, pick up waste, and clean food/water bowls after meals. - Provide enrichment: play, short training/reinforcement sessions, and supervised free time. - Maintain safety: secure doors/gates, remove hazards, and monitor interactions with people/other animals. - Send regular photo/text updates and note any changes in appetite, behavior, or health. - Lock up and leave the home as found; water plants/mail as requested.
