“Mary Jane is calm and experienced with the care of dogs. She first kept Hibiki separate from her dogs until she got used to the new environment before gradually introducing her dogs. I’ll definitely try not to go out of town unless absolutely necessary but if I do, I’ll leave Hibiki in her capable hands again.”
About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life since I was a child. I know how special and precious they are to their owners. Every dog I look after is treated as if they were my own! I currently work Monday through Thursday each week. I can still board dogs that are house trained and can wait 8 hours for a potty break on those days. Weekends are all freed up for nothing but fun and playtime. I have a fenced in yard with a small koi pond. The pups love watching the fish and chasing the frogs. The yard is wide open with lots of room to run and play. My house is very dog friendly, clean, and safe. I do have a 3 year old boxer female who is spayed. She is extremely dog friendly and sweet. I provide all dog bowls, treats, and lots of toys to play with.
“Celsei and family took great care of my pup and I couldnt be more thankful! We are just living in Bloomington for the year and don’t know many people and finding a place Leroy likes and is comfortable at is such a relief. i would recommend them to anyone. Thank you so much!”
“Such a positive experience! I received regular photos and updates about my pup while Ernie was caring for her. She was treated like one of the family. I would definitely recommend Ernie, and will happily leave my puppy with him again in the future.”
“Absolutely amazing, Kimberly and her husband were so personable and accommodating. They put us at ease leaving our little guy for days while we stayed nearby, as he wasn’t allowed where we were staying. Our pup loved them, and he was spoiled for sure. I would highly recommend entrusting your fur baby with Kimberly. I prayed before dropping him off, because this was my first time using Rover and our little guy is like another one of our children (literally refer to him as our son and our kids refer to him as brother). I prayed that God could give me a sign I was leaving him in good hands and when I pulled up was greeted by her husband and the upon speaking to him saw his cross necklace and all I could do was smile and breathe. They took such great care of him I was afraid he wasn’t going to want to come back, and if that is the only complaint I can find I would say I am blessed to have that problem. If we are ever in the area again, I wouldn’t hesitate to leave him under their care.”
“We love leaving Ruby with Derek & his family! He sends the best pictures of her playing with his son, and also of her cuddling up with all of them. We look forward to using him again in the future.”
About: Hi! I would love to get to know your pets and give them all of the cuddles <3 I have experience cat and dog sitting for family and friends. I have grown up with dogs my whole life! My family dogs have a special place in my heart <3 They are between the ages of 8yrs and 10yrs. So, I've gotten transitional experience into taking care of senior dogs. The littlest of the two was diagnosed as a diabetic 3 years ago. So, I am well versed in administering under-the-skin injections and oral medications. Currently, I only have one cat living with me. She is a domestic medium-hair, and just over a year old. Even though I adopted her last May, she still has so much kitten energy and keeps me on my toes. As a graduated senior, I am quickly approaching an open-schedule. I work with the university, but my shifts are incredibly flexible. Additionally, I make it a point to not work the weekends, so I have 100% availability. I have the pleasure to have a fenced in backyard in a quiet, residential neighborhood. Your pets will have quick access for potty breaks and outside play time. The B-line trail is also just behind our house, so we can plan for plenty of walks while in my care. My cat, Mali, is a fully indoor cat and on Revolution Plus. As of June 2025, she is up-to-date on all of her vaccinations.
“I couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for Cooper. Thomas has a love for pets, and treated mine like his own. He arranged a meet and greet, which put me and my dog at ease. I had never left him with anyone before, and seriously considered not making my trip because I was nervous about leaving my dog with someone I didn’t know. After meeting Thomas, I was no longer worried, because it was obvious to me that my dog would get love and good care. Cooper had a blast there, especially with Thomas’ dog, Maple, and felt right at home from the get-go. I’m sure he misses them, and would love to meet up with them again some day!”
“Deborah and Cheesney are amazing!! I can’t say enough positive things to express this! My 2 dogs (one is a puppy) loved their time there. Deborah is so understanding, accommodating, and flexible! She took superb care of them and I can’t wait to use her again!”
“Trista was so great!! I have nothing but amazing things to say. I was nervous to leave my two dogs since I rarely do and it can be a bit stressful, but Trista really made sure that I knew they were well taken care of the whole time I was gone. I got plenty of pictures and updates, and she treated them like they were one of her own getting cuddles and laying up on the couch. Couldn’t of asked for better. Thanks Trista!”
About: I have taken care of my own pets since I was young including dogs, cats, fish, bunnies, and hamsters. I understand how important your furry friends are to you and I want to make sure I can be the best substitute for them. As I am a student-athlete and work part time, pet care is something I like to work into my spare time. Taking care of animals is a passion of mine so I like to try and make time for it each week. I care for pets just as I would want mine to be cared for, making sure I can be the best substitute for you. I am great at communicating how your pet is doing and can be a safe environment to build your pets trust.
“Mary was great. She was so great with my girl, sent me tons of pictures, was so flexible when I accidentally scheduled the wrong date, and genuinely made me feel comfortable leaving her for the first time while I was gone. My girl loved the yard, and I know she had a great time. Will definitely recommend to anyone who needs someone to watch their babies :)”
“Gage was an incredible dog sitter! He was proactive, making sure our dog had everything she needed and stayed happy and comfortable. I really appreciated the regular updates with pictures and videos—it gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I couldn’t recommend him more!”
“David and Melissa did a terrific job watching my pup and thoroughly updated me with pictures. Their dog is super cool and got along well with mine. I appreciate their thoughtfulness and attentiveness.”
“Caroline watched my puppy for 3 nights and was great! My dog was very well taken care of and had so much fun. She was taken to the dog park and went on so many walks. Definitely recommend her!”

“I can’t speak highly enough on the love and care Bora has provided both of my pups. Always so welcoming and kind. As soon as we turn down her street they get so excited!! She always sends updates and pictures, asks any questions she has, and has the biggest heart for the pups. 10/10 would absolutely recommend. She has always helped when it comes to care.

Katherine F.
“Katie is truly amazing with animals! She’s incredibly loving and gentle with our 14-month-old kitty cat, Mali — always cuddling with her, playing, and making sure she feels safe and adored. Katie has two dogs back home, Gracie and Luna, who absolutely adore her, and she treats them like her babies. She’s constantly feeding and petting the neighborhood cats, and she lights up every time she sees an animal. Her phone is filled with thousands of photos of her furry friends — each one loved like family. Katie is kind, reliable, and has a natural, heartfelt connection with animals. You can trust her completely to care for your pets as if they were her own.”
