“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 had pets my whole life and have been dog and cat sitting since I was in highschool! Currently a student at IU studying finance! I am a student so I have a flexible schedule. I have class Monday- Thursday from 11am-3pm. I am also free weekends! Let me know what works best for you. I am a very patient person and like to care for animals. I have worked with animals and volunteer at many shelters. I would love to work with your pet too!

About: I grew up running my own dog walking business and started taking care of my own dog and others since I was 8. I fed, walked, trained, and played with pets and loved every second of it! I am a full time student and have taken care of a bunch of dogs while at school. I love to do the same when I am home for breaks and always fit in time in my day to be around pets. My house has over an acre of land, and while not fenced my dog is a herder and keeps all the other dogs in the property. I am able to crate your dog and walk them with ease.

“Becky has been awesome! She’s very communicative, sends us photos of our dogs everyday we’re gone, and I can tell how much she cares about our dogs. She is very thoughtful and tries to be flexible to meet your needs. I couldn’t recommend Becky enough!!!”


“My kitty had a lot of fun hanging out with Heath, he watched him all weekend and sent me lots of updates and pictures!”


“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 :)”


“Wyatt took such great care of my miniature labradoodle. He was very responsive, easy to communicate with, and flexible when we had a change in travel plans. Our dog was happy with him, too!”


“Thank you Katherine! Thank you for accommodating Penne Linguine during our visit to Bloomington! I appreciated all the extra efforts..I think Penne wants to stay with you guys!”


“Zoë is very sweet & knowledgeable when it comes to doggies! She took such great care of my little golden and kept me informed throughout the day each day on how she was doing with messages and photos. I would highly recommend Zoë for any/all of your doggie needs! :)”



About: I have taken care of a variety of dogs since I was young, I also own one myself so I understand the responsibilities needed daily. I have a very open schedule over the summer. I work a couple days a week at the hospital but am flexible and available most other times. I have a playful dog of my own who enjoys having a buddy of his own, is also crate trained and I can easily crate your dog if needed. I have a fenced yard for safe outdoor play, and am happy to take dogs on walks, visit dog parks, or simply spend time playing with them at your home! Whatever makes your pup feel most comfortable and most cared for.

“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!”


“Great with our Beaglier....kept in contact, sent pictures, and was available on short notice. A+++ Boarding and love for your pet will definitely call agian next time!!”


About: I have taken care of animals my whole life. I trained dogs for 4h growing up and have experience with large breeds. I have raised cats, dogs, rabbits, and fostered puppies and kittens for the shelter. I understand safety and ensuring a dog is under control and well supervised while getting the care they need! I am available after work and have all my availability on my calendar. I can be flexible for your pets needs and would love to chat! I am not currently offering at home sitting in clients home or my home as I have two dogs at home who take up a lot of space!

“This family is amazing! We left for a week shortly after rescuing our new dog. I was worried how he would transition being placed somewhere for a week after just settling in a new home. All my worries faded away after the meet and greet. My pup acted right at home with their entire family. He even learned to play and socialized with their sweet dog. I received constant communication and so many sweet pics and videos of him playing, napping, cuddling, being loved on, etc. Nikole and her family will always be my go to for puppy care when away. I’m a customer for life! Thanks for everything!”


About: Ever since I was little I have always loved dogs (i even wanted to be a vet), now I love my 9-year-old labrador retriever, Milo!! I take care of my friends dogs when they are away and currently help my roommate with her dog as well. As a student I am somewhat flexible if there is a time outside of what I have available that you need just reach out and I can see what I can do! I love going for walks, so I thought why not add a friendly companion? I love to allow dogs to smell plenty on our walks while making sure they don't do anything to injure themselves!

“Clare was great! She was easy to schedule with, always responded quickly and took great care of my pup.”


“Such an awesome dog sitter! She worked within our changing schedule and made our 3-dog circus feel at home! This was our first time booking with Emily and will not be our last! Awesome experience ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”


“I recently boarded my dog at and couldn't be happier with the experience. They were attentive and took wonderful care of my furry friend. They were also very flexible with pick-up and drop-off times, which was a huge help with my busy schedule. My dog came home happy and well-rested. I highly recommend them to any pet owner!”


“Billie loved playing with his dogs. They had a great time.”


About: Trusted Pet Care with a Professional Opera Singer’s Touch – Your Pets Deserve the Best! With five years of dedicated pet-sitting experience, I’ve cared for a wide range of animals, from energetic puppies to senior dogs with special needs and anxiety issues, as well as cats and other small pets. My approach is tailored to each pet’s unique personality and needs, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well-cared for in your absence. I grew up surrounded by pets and even raised puppies when I was younger, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life. While I’m not currently in a position to have pets of my own, I pour all my love and attention into the furry friends I care for. Your pets will be in loving, experienced hands, and I’ll make sure they feel right at home, even when you’re away. As an amateur pet photographer, one of my favorite things to do is have a little photo shoot with your pets. I love capturing their unique personalities in photos that you can cherish forever! As a graduate student with a flexible schedule, pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. My mornings and nights are entirely free, and I have plenty of time between classes to check in on your pets and ensure they're well-cared for. Since my homework and singing can be done from home, I'm never far away from your fur babies. Plus, without a traditional 9 to 5 job, I can give them the attention they deserve, including daily serenades if they’re into that! When it comes to pet sitting, I prioritize the safety and comfort of your pets by caring for them in their own familiar environment. I believe that staying in their own space helps reduce stress and anxiety, allowing them to feel more at ease and secure. I’m committed to maintaining your pet’s routine, ensuring that their daily needs are met in a setting where they feel most comfortable. In addition to following any specific care instructions you provide, I make sure to create a calm and reassuring atmosphere. Whether it’s adhering to feeding schedules, giving medication, or simply providing companionship, I strive to make their time away from you as seamless as possible. I also stay in regular communication with you, offering updates and photos, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pets are safe and happy in their own home.
