About: I enjoyed having cats and dogs growing up. As an adult, I have taken care of both cats and dogs for friends. I also worked/volunteered at a local shelter for years. working with puppies. old, big, little and traumatized dogs. I can run with those that want to. Additionally, I’m good at fetch and tug-of-war. I have commercial auto insurance coverage for your pet in my care. And I have uploaded a copy of my PetCare Insurance in my photos that covers potential incidents in your home, my home and in the park. I’ve given medication’s. I will follow your instructions to the letter and I don’t have an opinion. I have a lot of free time while I’m working on a book and don’t really need the money. I just would love the experience. I think the most important part is safety. PetCare Insurance for the unforeseen, but vigilance eliminates a lot of that. Pets are often curious and you need to make sure they’re not getting into harms way. When I take your dog for a walk, I won’t be on my phone because you need to be on the lookout for potential danger. I can take your dog to the park, around the neighborhood, for a drive or just stand in the yard. It’s all up to you. I will follow your instructions without opinion.
“We were so happy that kylie watched our little guy, he was very happy spending time with her. She took excellent care of him and our house. We can’t say enough wonderful thing about her and the outstanding job she did. We highly recommend her to anyone needing a wonderful pet sitter.”


About: My schedule is pretty open and I miss my dog at home (with my parents), so caring for your dog and playing with it as if it was my own is something I am more then happy to do. I have a front yard and I will be taking your dog for walks and caring for it, as much as needed. I can jog with your dog and play with it. I love spending time with my own dog more than anything, so to have this opportunity is perfect. I have several years of animal care experience, including a facility with wild canines.

About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life! I have experience with dog sitting and dog walking! Always excited to meet a new puppy! I am free all afternoons! But if needed in the morning or evening let me know! I’m always willing to negotiate a schedule to whatever is easiest for you! Unfortunately I am in an apartment so I will not be able to pet sit at my home, but whenever your pet needs to go outside I will keep an eye on them (especially if there is no fence)! I am able to lead a pet into a crate if needed. If there is anything else you would like me to do while with your pet let me know!
“Shadae is excellent and is very enthusiastic about caring for pets! She always sends so many updates and pictures, it gives me peace of mind while I am away! I will be booking with her any time she is available and I have plans to be away!”


About: I have had animals all of my life and have cared for them immensely. My family and friends say I have a special way with animals. I worked at a dog daycare and boarding facility for almost 2 years and got lots of experience caring for dogs there as well as opportunities to sit outside of it which has become a huge part of my life. I have knowledge and experience on all sorts of problems that may arise in both cats and dogs including cpr. I am currently a full-time purdue student who takes most classes online so I have plenty of time to care for your fur baby! I love going on walks so you can guarantee your fur baby will get some long peaceful and smellful walks! So far I have done both in-home and in my home. I make sure to have a specific wake up sleep schedule so my animals and the ones I have watched have a routine and care. As I mentioned before I love walks… so walks are guaranteed! In the clients home I make sure to provide the same level of care and attention to the pet as I would my own or in my own home!

About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life! I love all kinds of animals and building relationships with them! Please reach out with any questions! I center my day around when I need to take care of pets, and plan my day around it. I will make your pet my priority! I will treat your pet as my own and keep them company while you’re away! I will also send daily updates if requested! We will have a great time together!
“Amelia was very helpful and communicated very well! She updated me several times during her one night stay at my house. I definitely appreciated it! I will for sure use her services again in the future.”

“We found Beth in a pinch on very short notice and she was wonderful. The 4 dogs loved her immediately. We have had a run of bad luck with dog sitters for a few years so very grateful to have found Beth. We are already planning to book her again next month😃.”

About: Your pets are your family, and you want the best care when you can't be there for them. I can provide that care with love and attention to their needs! For over 25 years, I have been caring for all kinds of pets. I am also experienced in medication and senior pets. I am retired from the business world. I am able to be flexible to care for pets in their home. Given a day notice, I can be able to accommodate most demands. This service might be available. I do have three dogs at home in a fenced yard. They are friendly, but the service would depend on the client's dog.
“Tessa did a great job watching our 2 yr old lab in our home for the week Skye is very scared of new people when she meets them but made a new friend at the meet and greet! Tessa was her new play buddy and seemed at ease and comfortable with her during her stay. I know this because she would give me updates and pictures every day to put my mind at ease while we were so far away. She even helped me feed the neighborhood cats! She left our house just as clean as we left it. I will definitely be contacting her next time we need someone to watch or let Skye out for us!”

“Ella went above and beyond in caring for our animals. Despite a miscommunication about the duration of pet care needed, she was incredibly accommodating and worked out a schedule that served us perfectly. We really appreciated her flexibility. We also had an issue with our garage door not opening, and Ella graciously went back and forth multiple times to check on the animals. Her commitment and kindness made all the difference. We highly recommend her!”

“Tyler is great! He played with and walked our big beast I know that wasn’t the easiest. But in addition Tyler went the extra mile and brought our unexpected packages in for us without having to ask and tidying up the house before he left. He kept us updated with pictures and messages to let us know our doggies were good which I appreciate to ease my mind. Will definitely book again our next vacation! Thanks Tyler!”
About: I grew up with many pets so I am no stranger to pet care. In recent years, I frequently pet sit for friends and family and would love to spend my free time keeping your pet company I work part time but currently have a flexible schedule. I am available weekends and weekdays. I’m often available, just need to schedule in advance. I can care for pets by following their normal routines, provide plenty of attention, engaging in their regular exercise, and help keep pets comfortable in their own homes and providing feedings.
“Lauren was proactive in setting up a time to first meet my dog before the actual stay. She clearly communicated before and throughout the stay. My house was also left in perfect condition when the stay was over. I would highly recommend Lauren for anyone in need of a dog sitter.”

“Darrin was great! He was communicative, sent photos, and was very easy to work with. He stayed at our home and took great care of our two dogs and cat, one of which had activity restrictions due to surgery. It was our first time having someone house sit and we felt very comfortable with him!”

About: I am a veterinary assistant with Public Vet, where I complete physical exams on over 100 cats a day! In my free time, I foster and work hard to get my kitties adopted after fulfilling their medical and love-needs. I have had many dogs in the past, but have only fostered one. An English Bulldog with spina bifida-Lyla. She was disabled and completely incontinent, and required much care. I love and miss her dearly, she is now 2 years old and has been with her forever family for 2 years! If your pet has any medical needs, you can count on me to take care of them every step of the way. If you are someone who enjoys photos of your best friend, expect many! (In addition to Dannie, I also go by my nickname-Mae!) I am currently a student and work occasionally at the local cat cafe and part-time at a veterinary clinic. Most of my nights I spend studying. Most of my weekdays are spent in and out of class. Having your pet at home would occur on nights and days when my work load is the least (some days I only have 1-2 classes), that way your pets needs are never compromised. Pets in my care are firstly loved on tremendously. I am also happy to meet any requirements owners have for their pets. Is your pet afraid of the TV for some reason? It will never be on. This goes for in my own home, and in yours as well.
