Dog Sitting Boggstown

“Very attentive and careful while walking my husky that hasn’t always been well behaved on a leash. He even tried working with her to reduce her pulling. Gave her all the attention she needed when she was missing her family! Would absolutely use him again and recommend him to friends and family.”

About: My family and I have owned dogs since before I can remember, and I have helped take care of them, as well as petsit for others, since I was old enough to do so on my own. I am a generally calm and affectionate person around dogs, which makes me a good fit for more anxious/nervous dogs. I currently work on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, which leaves weekends and Monday/Friday open for me to house/petsit! On Mondays I am free in the mornings and after 5pm, and on Fridays + weekends I am completely free. As I have my own anxious dog at home who really prefers to be a single dog, I am more comfortable housesitting than boarding. I am adaptable to most dog schedules, and am used to both high energy and low energy dogs.

“Alex has been doing drop in visits during the work day for our 2 pups for a few weeks now and he’s been wonderful!! Our 2 are polar opposite ends of the spectrum of personality/energy levels and he’s so great/patient with them both.”

About: Former doggy daycare employee, multi-year animal shelter volunteer, and pet sitter extraordinaire for friends and family. I am currently doing Rover full-time, so have a really flexible schedule. I love all animals big and small, but especially enjoy caring for dogs and cats. Not discriminatory toward any breed of dog. I am huge on sending photos and updates while caring for your pets! I have extremely flexible availability currently and do my best to review and update my calendar every day to ensure it is up to date. I am happy to stay overnight in your home if preferred, and/or do late night and early morning check-ins! I am reliable and understand I am fortunate to have the opportunity to care for your animals. I will be respectful of your privacy and space, and will treat your pets and home as if I am caring for my own.

“Lexi has been doing a fantastic job at dropping in during the day to check on my puppy. Winnie just adores having her visit- i can tell! Highly recommend Lexi for anything you need. She’s been great and i plan to keep booking her!”

“Susan exceeded our expectations and she took really good care of Zoey. Zoey really loved her, too. She took in our mail and packages. Overall, a great experience and we look forward to using her again. We highly recommend her.”

About: I am not a professional but sometimes I believe that’s okay. I’ve had dogs since I can remember. I’ve always had such a big heart when it comes to animals. I worked at a shelter while I was in high school and the hardest for me was not bringin them all to my house. I have two dogs of my own. They’re both older girls and very very laid back and friendly. I think every dog has personality of their own and that’s what is beautiful about dogs. I think taking care of dogs is more than a chore or a job, i think it’s more of passion. In my opinion you have to love dogs to be able to take care of them the way they need. I hope I can be what you’re looking for.

About: Ive had animals my entire life, from small rodents to Great Danes. They all just need a little trust building and play time. Happy to provide any level of care needed. I currently work in the school system, so I dont have availability during the work day, but I am completely availability week-nights, weekends, and school breaks! I am willing to adjust activity levels to fit your animal's needs, how often they need play time, walks, downtime, or potty times. And Im willing to adhere to any rules of the household, if housesitting.

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have owned two family dogs, I’m very comfortable with daily care and routines. I have several years of experience dog sitting for friends and families, and I’m confident handling walks, feeding, playtime, and making sure pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for! I’m currently working 2 days over the summer, (full time teacher) during the school year available after school, during summer available every day except Tuesday and Wednesday!! I care for every pet as if they were my own by following their routine, providing plenty of love, attention, and exercise!! I respect my clients’ homes by keeping them clean, secure, and following all instructions!

About: I've been caring for dogs and cats since I was a kid, and animals have always had a special place in my heart. I have a gift for connecting with pets I'm meeting for the first time — even the shy or standoffish ones tend to warm up to me quickly. I raised my own dog for 13 years, guiding him through anxiety issues from puppyhood all the way into adulthood, so I understand firsthand how much patience and consistency can matter. I know how important feeding schedules and medication routines are, and I make sure they're followed carefully and on time, every time. Through pet sitting apps, I've cared for a wide variety of dogs with all kinds of personalities and needs — nothing has been too much to handle. I lead with patience, adaptability, and a genuine love for animals. A quick note on availability: between my work schedule and time with my daughter, I'm away from home between 9am and 6pm daily. I'm a great fit for pets who are comfortable being on their own during that window, and I'll make sure they're well cared for and comfortable before and after. I'm also proud to be LGBTQ+ friendly and welcome clients from all walks of life. Building trust is everything to me — I want you to feel confident that your pet (and your home, if I'm house sitting) is in caring, capable hands. I am generally open to anything my time slots provide. Overnights should not be an issue but will need to be talked about prior to booking. I do NOT have have a place to house dogs so currently I am only a house sitter. Please let me know if you have any questions! I used to care for 2 dogs and a cat while i was with my wife but now i just have the cat. The cat is very much self sufficient, although she does revel in all the pets that we have to offer, but the dogs take more work! I love to take dogs on walks in the various parks around where i am living and will do the same for yours! If you have favorite spot let me know about it!! I can incorporate a walk there for your pups if you would like!

“Lucy is the BEST of the BEST!! This was our first time having pet sitting for our cat and with negative boarding experiences in the past, we were so nervous at how she would do with being left at home but Lucy did an INCREDIBLE job with Jinx! She has been so comfortable being in her own space and I can see how happy she was when Lucy came to check on her and play with her. She set up a meet and greet before booking to make sure everyone was comfortable and sent some adorable photos with every check in visit which gave us so much peace of mind while out of the country! Lucy is the sweetest and truly, truly treats your pet(s) like her own pack and I absolutely cannot recommend her enough. Thank you, Lucy!!”

About: I have had a dog of myself for 10+ years, and he has definitely helped me learn a lot! I’m able to easily form great relationships with any dog I have met (so far), and absolutely adore being around them and caring for them. Thanks to my experience as a dog owner, I know all there is to know of the basics of caring for dogs of all ages. My current job has me working 2-6 Monday through Friday, and 1:15-6 on Wednesdays. Since I don’t work long hours, that leaves me pretty open when it comes to pet care! Since I don’t offer boarding in my own home, I will travel to yours to care for your pet. When housesitting, I tend to hang out in the area where your pet is in the most to keep an eye on them if they need anything, and to keep them company while I’m around (if I can, I also like being on the floor so if they want to come and say hi or get some pets I’m right within their reach)! Also, I may be unfamiliar with the neighborhood, but that won’t discourage me from taking your furry friend on walks if they’re able!

“Alexandria was a great sitter during our extended time away from our pets. She made the pets feel comfortable, followed all our instructions, and communicated following her visits and as we needed. Should we need a sitter in the future, we'll certainly reach out to her again! We highly recommend.”

About: I have been a dog owner for 5 years and have experience taking care of diabetic dogs. I volunteer at animal shelter weekly so I have experience interacting with big and small dog breeds with some behavioral issues. I currently work a 7 to 4 full time job Monday through Fridays. Weekends are my best availability, but I am open to doing drops in friday night if needed. I follow clients' instructions and understand that pets and owners need to follow a certain routine or schedule to be comfortable with a caretaker while owners are away.

About: I have grown up my entire life around pets and animals of all varieties. Dogs, cats, Parakeets, and even hamsters. I have learned and grown to love and care for animals because I view them as family, not just pets. I have walked dogs and have house sat for many years and am considered experienced with most forms of care and service to pets such as dogs and cats I work a full time job as a social studies educator where I teach seventh grade through 12th grade world, history and government classes. Teaching is my absolute passion and I love working with kids of all ages To help guide them towards helping them become better versions of themselves every single day! Teaching may be my passion, but I love working with animals on the side when I have spare time. I am free on weekends, most evenings, and free almost the entire summer. I am easily and readily available for evenings and even summers to take care of your furry friends while you may be away for longer periods of time! I currently live in a single bedroom apartment with only one furry firmed if my own. He is a 6 year old American Short-Hair who is the sweetest of kitties and my entire world. I adopted him when he was just a month old and he has been with me his whole life. My apartment is located next to nearby parks and grassy areas for walks and exercise. My apartment is also smoke-free and is in a pet-friendly neighborhood with quiet streets and friendly neighbors.

About: I work from home Monday - Friday so your lovable friend will be consistently monitored, I have a two story home with three bedrooms however it’s just my husband and I with our three cats so lots of space, I also have a fenced in backyard and live in a walkable neighborhood in Cumberland Indiana if your pet needs to be walked. ☺️ I’ve had several years of hands-on experience caring for cats with a wide range of personalities, including shy, independent, high-energy, and more strong-willed (‘spicy’) temperaments. My experience comes from raising and caring for my own three cats, each with very different needs and behaviors. I’ve worked closely with rescue cats and understand the patience and consistency required to help them feel safe and comfortable in a new environment. I’m very attentive to body language and behavioral cues, which allows me to adjust my care style to each pet’s comfort level. In my home, I provide a calm, structured, and low-stress environment. I have the ability to separate pets if needed, making it ideal for animals who are shy, anxious, or prefer their own space. I prioritize cleanliness, routine, and safety at all times. I work from home full-time, which allows me to provide consistent, attentive care for pets throughout the day. I have several automatic feeders and scheduled wet food times, along with fresh water bowls, so meals are always on time. My husband also comes home at the same time each day, providing extra hands and supervision to ensure pets feel safe and attended to. Our home has a predictable routine, which helps cats feel comfortable and secure. I’m able to adjust playtime, attention, or quiet time to match each pet’s personality, whether they prefer independent relaxation or interactive enrichment. My home is a calm, secure space for pets, located in a safe neighborhood. It’s just my husband, our three cats, and me—no kids—so the environment is quiet and low-traffic. I have multiple rooms available to help cats adjust comfortably, so shy or independent pets can have their own space, while those who enjoy company can stay nearby in my home office while I work. Caring for my own three cats gives me firsthand experience with multi-cat dynamics, and I know how to manage interactions to ensure all pets feel safe and stress-free. I maintain a clean, structured environment with consistent routines, monitored feeding and hydration, and lots of attention to comfort and enrichment. Whether your pet needs quiet personal space or friendly companionship, I tailor their care to make sure they feel safe, happy, and well-cared for while you’re away.

I currently do not have any pets so it is very easy for me to do overnight stays. I have taken care of friends and family’s dogs before and have experience.

“Kendra took great care of Rocky, he ate all of his food for her, and that never happens when I'm gone!”

“Amber saved our butt when our family was in a pickle. She was super responsive and was able to help our 3 dogs out on short notice. I would definitely use her again!”

Tom C.

“Our first time using Rover and it was an experience we’ll never forget. Tania got locked out of the house while we were two hours from home, she took matters in her own hands and took him home to her family with no question. She kept our baby until we got home and brought him home for us. I would 100 recommend this family to anyone looking for a sitter. We can’t thank you enough and will be seeing you again soon.”
