“I wish I could give more stars, your pets will love Jennifer. Our two pups had never been boarded and we had to find someone to take care of them while we had an emergency out of town stay. She did such a great job housesitting and caring for them. When we arrived home they were happy to see us but acted like we had never left which was a huge relief to us. We will definitely be using her again!”


“Evie loved our girls as if they were her own. She sent lots of pics and videos and we could tell our girls were so very happy in her care. One of our pups was a new rescue and is extremely timid, anxious, and afraid and Evie made her feel safe and we came home to her feeling safe which was such a blessing. Our home was in perfect shape when we returned Would highly recommend Evie to take care of your pets - she’s fantastic!”


“We just moves here from out of state and was nervous about leaving our dogs for a week. Ellie did a great job with our senior babies. She went above and beyond with shampooing our carpet when our dog had an accident on the floor. Our dogs are 15 and 13 and are quite needy and she made sure they were well taken care of. We would use her again”


About: A safe environment for your furry friends when you're away. I will ensure that your dogs receive the attention, care, and exercise they need. From playtime to walks, cuddles to feeding, I will keep your pups happy and healthy. A loving pet owner of a nine year old St. Bernard. Can administer medicine if needed. I will spend mornings and evenings with your pet(s)! I do work full time; if your home is a reasonable distance from where I work, I can drop by for lunch time potty breaks or walks. Your pet will go no more than 8-hours without me being there. As someone who travels often, I know what it feels like to worry about your pet while gone. I will abide by any house rules (even if that means they can’t sleep in the bed with me), and send lots of pictures and updates to give you a sound mind while away from your pups.

About: Dogs have always been a part of my life. My family has a certain love for dogs and that has definitley passed to me. My grandmother has a passion for saving unloved pups, from saving a runt from a puppy mill to an old man from a shelter, and I admire her so much for that. I now advocate for shelters and saving even the senior babies. I got my first puppy when I turned 15, an adorable brittany spaniel, and watching him grow into the old man he is now is one of the most gratifying experiences of my life. I helped train him in obedience, gave him baths as often as I could, took him on walks almost every day, and played fetch until the sun went down. My friends and family now ask me to watch their fur-babies. They have asked me to stay in their home and take care of their pets, both dogs and cats. I love saying yes to watching their pets and getting to experience the personalities of each pup and cat. I love grooming the dogs and cats, and then helping my family and friends to make sure not only their pets are taken care of but also their homes. And now I can’t wait to branch out and help you with your fur-babies and your home. I just recently retired from the military and therfore am not currently working, so I have a full schedule to watch fur-babies! I do plan to start studies for animal behavior this year, but will still continue to have time to pet sit. I currently live at home with my family and cannot watch your pets in my home. I do have reliable transportation and can drive to your home whenever you need me, whether it is to juct check on your pet, feed and walk them, or stay in your home for an extended time.

“Arysson did a great job with my pups! She was willing to drive out to meet them (we live in Owensboro and she lives out in Evansville) before the actual dog sitting. She left the house the way she found it and sent me pictures of my dogs.”


“Heidi is an excellent pet sitter! She was attentive with my pets needs, remained very proactive with her communication, sent regular photos and updates and gave my blue Heeler plenty of exercise! Highly recommended!”


About: I have owned 3 senior dogs of my own and know how to properly care of them. I also have raised dogs from 8 weeks on. I work a full time job so evenings and weekends are best. I can come over for potty breaks throughout the week though. Happy to assist in every need of your pet! My pets are well taken care of. I feed them twice a day adding vegetables in for a healthy addition. They are let out for potty breaks several times throughout a day.

About: I have always been an animal lover since I can remember. I have grown up being around dogs and have 2 of my own! I am very reliable and would take care of your furbaby like I do my own! I do have a full-time job, but I’m available before work, during lunch breaks, after work, and on weekends to care for your furry friends. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in yours, I focus on making them feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I follow any specific routines or instructions closely—from feeding schedules to favorite toys or walking routes because I know consistency is important, especially when their humans are away.

“Maddie is an amazing pet sitter. She was patient with my Frenchie, Lucille, who can take a bit to warm up to strangers. They are now best friends! Maddie is professional, prompt, responsive and treated Lucille like her own. I highly recommend Maddie!”


About: I've loved animals all of my life and wish I could rescue every animal in need. Currently my little 9 y/o Yorkie, Ellie May is my whole world, not sure how I'd survive without her so I deeply understand the concern of leaving your babies in someone else's care! My daily schedule is very open and flexible & rates are negotiable. I'm willing to coordinate with you on your needs whether it be for weekdays, weekends and/or holidays. I will always be in tune with your pet's needs and wants and give lots of love and attention so your dog/s will always be safe & happy!

About: I’ve been working with dogs since I was 12 and have spent the past year at a professional pet boarding facility, where I care for dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. From energetic puppies to senior dogs needing extra patience and attention, I’ve gained hands-on experience with a wide range of needs. I’m confident in daily routines like feedings, walks, cleaning, playtime, and helping dogs feel calm and comfortable while you’re away. I truly love spending time with dogs and making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for like family. I work part-time during the week, so I’m available for pet care anytime after 1 PM on weekdays. Weekends are even more flexible—I’m free all day to give your pet the attention they need. This schedule allows me to provide focused, quality care without rushing. Whether it’s regular visits, walks, playtime, or last-minute care, I’m here to fit your schedule and make sure your furry friend feels happy, safe, and loved. I understand how important consistency and routine are for pets, so I’m committed to being reliable and attentive every time we meet. I prefer caring for pets at their own home because it’s a familiar, comfortable environment for them, and my home can be a bit busy at times. However, I’m happy to make arrangements to care for pets at my home if needed. My home has a securely fenced yard, so dogs can play and explore safely. Whether at your place or mine, your pet will receive the same loving, attentive care, with plenty of supervision, playtime, and comfort to keep them happy and safe.

About: I have had a dog in my life since age 2. I know what it takes, and will take amazing care of your four legged friend! Walks, playing, and bonding. I am free every day, for the whole day. Besides the daily errands, I will be able to provide all day sitting for your pet, and multiple walks and potty breaks. Overnight stays are welcomed! I live in a house, near a neighborhood, good for walking. Back yard is big and 3/4 fenced in. So your pet can have plenty of room to run around and play. If your dog needs to be leashed outside I’ll make sure I abide by that. I like to provide the owner with daily pictures and or text for updates of your dog. 🐾 I work for myself, and can make my own schedule. I’m very flexible on dates and time, so what ever works best for the owner/pet. Fenced in 3/4 back yard. pretty big. House is cozy. If your dog is crate training and or uses crate I have room for that.

“Angie & Chris watched our two dogs Muffins and Gare for 3 nights over the holidays in our home and they were the best! I am a little bit of an anxious pet owner and probably worry too much about the dogs but Angie & Chris were so wonderful about sending pictures and updates that I didn't worry at all the 4 days we were gone and was actually able to relax and enjoy my time away. They were with the dogs at our house nearly the entire time except for a few times they went out which was a huge relief and beyond what I expected. I have had previous sitters that would basically do two drop ins during the day and then come back over at night to stay the night so having them there to hang out with the dogs during the day was well beyond what I expected though it was very appreciated! Angie & Chris were just willing to go the extra mile to make sure our dogs were comfortable and had all the attention they are used to. When we returned the dogs were happy and didn't show any signs of separation anxiety or anything like they have when we have left before. Not only were the dogs happy, Angie & Chris were wonderful house guests and it was probably cleaner when we got home than when we left. I will DEFINITELY use Angie & Chris again to watch our dogs anytime we leave town. Its great to find people you can completely trust who will love and take care of our dogs just as we do. I cannot recommend them enough!”


About: Hi! I've fostered and owned more animals than I can even count! I've taken care of dogs, cats, lizards, bunnies, and more, all ranging in age aswell. I can ensure your pets needs and safety while also giving them the love they deserve! I'm currently in between jobs, so my schedule on the weekdays is wacky, but I will make sure your pets are top priority! Luckily on the weekends, I am 100% free! I would make sure your pet has been fed and watered, has gone to the bathroom, has been interacted with if needed, and if it's an animal that has anything like a litterbox that it's cleaned for their next use!

About: I live in Evansville, Indiana, and I have been caring for pets for two years. I love working with animals of all kinds, from dogs and cats two horses in baby chicks, ensuring they receive the best care while you’re away. I have just moved here, I’m originally from Massachusetts so I am looking for a job. Until I find a full-time job, I am free 24/7 I offer care for pets in home or in my client‘s home depending on what they prefer. I am a very active person. I love to go on walks and just be outside in nature. My apartment complex offers a fenced dog park and a walkable trail back to my apartment building.

“One of the best dog sitters we’ve had. Dogs were well taken care of. She took good care of our house and I am overall pleased with her services! She kept us well informed while we were gone. I would recommend Molly over and over again”

Kaia G.
“I wholeheartedly trust Kaia with my fur babies. We have four dogs and an indoor cat. My husband, son, and I recently went on a family vacation. We left Kaia to house sit for us and watch after our fur babies. She updated us regularly and even sent pictures without us asking. I don’t doubt she loved them like her own!

She kept us updated with lots of pictures & videos and responded immediately when we texted with questions. She took such great care of our pups that they stood at the door whining when she left, hoping she'd come right back!! We used her regularly for years until we had to move to Tennessee, wish she could've come with us as we all miss her!”

Austin W.
“Austin was simply amazing! He consistently sent updates, was easy to stay in contact with, even went the extra mile by having treats for my little fur baby. Aside from his professional knowledge on handling pets he is very passionate and personable as well. From the moment my dog saw him it was apparent that he had an unwavering love towards dogs. I came home to a happy and content pupper! I know he's definitely looking forward to hanging with Austin again!”
