“Very good updates and communication!”

“Cindy was a huge help for us over the holidays. She made sure to give our energetic cat plenty of play time and our senior cat lots of pets and attention. She asked great questions during our meet and greet. I loved the detailed care reports she left after each visit with great pictures. She obviously has had a lot of experience with many different kinds of animals and I felt at ease having her care for our cats.”

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.

About: From the age of 5 until today, I have had a parrot in my parents' house, and I have always been responsible for it. Unfortunately, I was unable to get a dog or a cat after moving, but I had relatives who owned a dog, and recently, they added another one. I often stayed with her for several days or took care of her when I visited. Recently, they added a puppy, which requires more attention and care. I'm not working right now, so taking my pet for a walk is an incentive and motivation to get out of the house. Most of the time, walks are not just "down the street," but rather involve exploring new places. I fully adapt to the animal, namely its mood, regime, and desires. I strictly follow the owners' recommendations, as the pet's health depends on it.

“Sara was great! I was able to completely relax on vacation knowing that Penny was being taken care of, seeing the details, and seeing the photos from each visit. I came home to a happy dog”

About: Hi, I’m Rexton — I’ve been caring for animals for over a decade, starting with my childhood dogs and now raising a cat of my own. Pets have always been a steady part of my life, and over the years I’ve had the privilege of walking, sitting, and bonding with all kinds of animals — especially shy or senior pets who need a little extra care. During college, I was the go-to pet sitter for my friends whenever they were away, and I always treated their animals like my own. I have hands-on experience with elderly dogs, including giving medication and helping manage mobility issues with patience and empathy. I’ve also spent a lot of time around more sensitive or anxious pets and know how to build trust at their pace. To me, pets are more than just companions — they’re the kind of friends you can always lean on. Every animal has a unique personality, and once you’ve earned their trust, there’s something truly special about the bond that forms. I’ll take the time to get to know what your pet loves (and what they don’t!), so you can feel confident they’re in good hands while you’re away. I’m currently preparing for Law School, but will have plenty of time outside of my class schedule to attend to your pets needs. Typically, the early mornings and mid-afternoons will be my most accessible times. I offer drop-in service to my clients homes. I know allowing a stranger into your home can be a scary process. I guarantee to respect both the boundaries of your household along with the attentiveness that your pet needs while you’re away.

About: I treat every dog like they are my own, with personalized care to match their unique needs. I have spent my life volunteering in my community and caring for pets when my family/friends need. I have the skills to make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and entertained while you’re away. I have a full-time job during the weekdays, but I am free at all times during weekends. I am available after 5 on Friday til as late as needed on Sunday! I live in a very pet-friendly environment with plenty of room for your dog to feel right at home. I have plenty of space in my apartment, as well as a large complex to walk your pet. I have all the necessities to provide your dog with a happy and comforting stay.

“Kiah was perfect with our shy little dog. She was patient and allowed Iggy to warm up without demanding just a gentle coaxing. Thank you, Kiah!”

About: My family got a rescue during COVID and since then I make sure he gets the extra TLC at my house with extra walks, tooth brushing, cuddles, training, and coat care. I also volunteered last spring with Seattle Humane Society. I am home for the summer and my schedule is very open and flexible. The only thing is that I leave mid August :( but I’ll be back for winter break I would love to make your life as a pet owner a little more flexible by hanging out with new friends! I am willing to go at whatever pace is needed for every individual :)

“Marloes is super friendly, responsive, communicative, and trustworthy! I would love to have her as a sitter again if given the chance :)”

About: Hi! I’m Samantha, a lifelong animal lover and proud pet parent of 11 years. For over a decade, I have cared for my own pets and have also had the pleasure of pet sitting annually for four wonderful families. Whether it is walks, playtime, or feeding, I treat every animal like my own. I am available during 12:00 PM-1:00 PM most weekdays for a quick visit and after 5:00 PM. I am available most weekends for all hours. I personally do not do dog/cat sitting in my own home. I do have a lovely 1 year old mini Schnauzer named Suki and had a beloved mini Schnauzer named Layla for 9 years!

About: I've had my 2 cats and dogs for 12 years and adore them! I make new feline and canine friends easily so I'm happy to sit/walk yours as well! My work schedule is light right now so I have a lot of availability for sittings and walks and have done this a lot for friends. I am open to your specific directions for caring for your animals and am flexible. Write down any specific details and I will follow them. I am trustworthy and have house sat and dog walked for many friends and neighbors! People count on me!

About: I have been surrounded by dogs since I was 5 years old, and I’ve loved them ever since. I have taken care of my own dog frequently for 7 years, but I have also taken care of dogs for relatives, ranging from puppies to elderly dogs. I am a graduate student at Indiana University, so my class schedule is much lighter. I am able to walk the dogs during the day, and at night. In your home, I can crate your dogs as well as keep them safe and comfortable while making sure that there is nothing dangerous to them.

“Catherine was amazing! She is kind and really loves dogs. I will use her again in the future every chance I get. I’m fairly certain even after just one weekend she is my dogs second favorite person.”

SaRee B.

“Katie is amazing!! I'm so glad we found her on here. We have a high maintenance diva cat and I am a crazy cat lady and Katie didn't even bat an eye. She was totally reliable and responded quickly to messages, as well as sending us great pictures of the time with our cat so we knew she was in excellent hands! We will absolutely be booking with her again and I would recommend her to any friend of mine looking for pet care.”

“Lauren did a great job watching my boys! She was easy to communicate with, quick to make care adjustments as requested, and I came home to two happy, healthy cats!”

Bryanna L.

“Mandy did a great job with our cats and made us feel very comfortable while we were away. She was more than willing to do a meet and greet a couple of weeks before the booking started. She sent a summary and photos for each visit, kept in touch about when visits would be occurring, and was responsive in all communications. She kept the food and litter areas clean and tidy, too. Most importantly, I could tell from her visit summaries that the cats really warmed up to her - our crabbier cat had lots of playtime and our friendlier cat got lots of cuddle time. We would book again! Thank you Mandy!”

Rebecca M.

“I’m very happy with Wyatt’s services. My cat Jane is happy and healthy after my trip - my first extended absence is a few years - and looks like she’s ready to forgive me! Wyatt was good about keeping in touch, and I really appreciated the photos he sent me.”

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.

About: Hello! I currently work at a dog training business, so I have several years of experience in watching, cleaning up after, feeding, socializing, and medicating dogs! I also have experience in training, so if you want me to teach your cat how to sit, ask away! On top of my experience with dog care, I have grown up with, co-owned, and fostered cats, so I am knowledgeable in giving adequate care, including cleaning their litter box, administering medication, playing, and feeding them. I am studying animal behavior at IU, so I am also knowledgeable in the behavior of your cat, and can easily spot off or strange behaviors that your cat might show. I ensure you that your kitty will be cared for and happy at all times! :) I’m a recent graduate with a degree in animal behavior, and now I will be working in Bloomington for the next year!. Depending on my work schedule, I am open to sits and visits of all kinds and lengths; just send me a message and we can working something out! In my apartment, I make sure that all doors and windows are closed to prevent escaping. If your cat loves to crowd by the door when you open it, I will keep this in mind when entering and exiting my home. If your cat is a chewer, I will make sure that electronics/cords are put away or unplugged. I will consistently make sure that your kitty is eating and drinking their food/water as well as taking any medications needed. If your cat is showing any sort of strange behavior or stress, I will communicate effectively and quickly. I will also consistently communicate/ update you with pictures of your kitty playing and feeling healthy and happy while in my care. I will ensure all of these safety measures in your own home as well.
