“Honestly Tyler was GREAT. He got my girl in LAST minute and was very kind and did great with her. I would definitely recommend. My girl was a little nervous and he handled it nicely.”

“Biscuit always loves to visit and since he varies in energy levels, I never know what type of day he'll bring when I drop him off, but she is so flexible and great with him!”

“We were really worried about our dachshund as he’s still a puppy and is very scared of everything. He’s doing so good with the other dogs and slowly warming up! So glad Casey could help!”

About: I worked in marine mammal care and training at The Indianapolis Zoo for 10 years, and I hold a bachelor’s degree in behavioral neuroscience from Purdue University. My partner and I both work from home and we have two dogs of our own, so pet care fits naturally into our daily routine. I have 2 friendly, crate trained dogs who get walks 2-3 times/day. We also recently built a mini dog park in our back yard for dogs who prefer to be off leash, but also need to be supervised while outside.
“Anna took such wonderful care of our pups! Lots of love and affection given to both of them. Great detailed communication of the care they received, I knew when I picked up Bodie & Maya they were calm and happy! I will definitely be using Anna as a pet sitter again!👏👏”

“Highly recommend Stefanie to take care of your dogs! Our girl loves going to daycare and comes back so tired from a day of love and playing. So many pictures taken and she is always quick to communicate. We’ve tried a few different places, and Stefanie is the best — Thank you Stefanie!”

“Hope was so great at communicating with us through out the day. Was so gentle with Harley. I was very nervous because it was our first time leaving Harley at someone else's house but during our meet and greet I knew Hope was the perfect sitter! 100% would recommend her and looking already on the calendar for our next doggy care. Thank you Hope💕”

About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was a child. I love dogs and cats alike. I don’t prefer one to the other and have two cats and a dog of my own. I’m just patient with animals and experienced in following the directions of parents. I like your animals to feel their routine is the same as when their owner is home. I am currently working part time from home, so I have a lot of flexibility with my days to come and take care of animals. We have had dogs stay in our home with us. Our animals are extremely accepting of other dogs and we love to host them. I also have no problem providing care in the owners home. I’m here to meet your preference.
“I was so grateful that she accepted my request the day before. Her house and family are lovely, and her fenced in yard is awesome. Also, her house seemed very secure, which put my mind at ease since one of my dogs is a true escape artist. My boys came home happy and tired! I would definitely use her again! ❤️🐾”

“Rich and Elyce are the best! My Tallulah girl usually takes a while to get used to new places. Today was her first visit with them and she was completely at home. They sent me pictures throughout the day to show me what a great day she was having. They even provided me with a report card at the end of the day :-) Tallulah and I can’t wait for her next visit!!!”

About: We are an energetic family with four boys ages 6-12 who love to play! If you are looking for a safe space for your dog(s) to receive lots of love, play, belly rubs, and time outside, we would love the opportunity to share our home with your pet! We are a homeschooling family, so I am home much of the time and available to allow your pet to take frequent potty breaks and have plenty of time to play and exercise. If your dogs love kids and are eager to play, our loving family and home are a fantastic solution! We have a large fenced-in backyard (6ft. privacy fence) with plenty of room to run and chase tennis balls. Our home is comfortable and inviting. Dogs are allowed to roam on the main level and in the basement but are not permitted upstairs in the bedrooms. Well-trained pets are free to roam whenever we are out of the home during the day. Our younger children still wake up during the night, so in order to prevent any "scares" or barking, dogs must be crated at night. Owners must provide the crate. Dogs are given a final potty break around 10PM, crated, and then released from their crate around 6:30 AM and immediately taken outside to use the bathroom, then free to roam and play for the duration of the day. Whenever a dog shows any signs of wanting to go outside, they are immediately let out. If our high-energy environment becomes overwhelming for your pet, I can offer a safe, quiet space for rest. Dogs who would be a good fit in our home: -can easily tolerate (and NOT dominate) young children -love to play -enjoy lots of run time/exercise -enjoy (and don't shy away from) physical affection (i.e. belly rubs, head scratches, fully body hugs) - easily sleep in a crate at night -are not bothered by general kid energy (yelling, running, loud noises) -are not highly anxious or territorial or aggressive toward kids of any age in any way -do not chew on strewn toys, furniture, stuffed animals, etc. All feeding and any medication instructions will be strictly followed. I will provide regular updates and photos of your pet's stay with us so that you can continue to feel connected even while away.
“Maureen was super flexible and eager to get to know our dog. My pup was good and tired from exploring her cute home & gorgeous backyard while running around with her dog Jordan. I will be back.”

“Amanda was great and Millie had a great time with Porky. She came home exhausted after having several days of playing. Amanda was incredibly accommodating after I booked daycare only instead of boarding. She offered to watch Millie overnight without hesitation. She’s super easy to get ahold of and provides regular updates. Of course Porky kept Millie super busy and having fun!”

“Lisa was amazing! We found and booked her on short notice and we will definitely be rebooking. She cared for Penny just like she was one of her own. Excellent communication on the booking and sent me photos throughout the day. Definitely recommend!”

About: I've been surrounded by animals my entire life and I wouldn't have it any other way! Growing up, my mom was a professional dog trainer, so I partook in the world of dog obedience on the regular and even won the Indiana State Fair with my sweet Australian Shepherd. Many dogs and cats have resided in my home throughout the years and I also worked as a Vet Assistant at a local Animal Clinic when I was not flying around the country as a flight attendant for a major Airline. After years and years of being cooped up in an airplane with people, I have found that my peace is in nature with animals. It would be my absolute pleasure to befriend your sweet pet! I recently retired from an Airline as a flight attendant and now work from home as a writer. My children are now in middle school, leaving me with more time on my hands. I have an open schedule for whatever needs your pet may have! I live in a lovely neighborhood surrounded by an abundance of nature. My dogs love going for walks in the surrounding area and exploring all the woodland creature smells. I'm sure your doggo would love it too!
“Kelly and Mark were fantastic. Kelly was quick to communicate with me, sending updates and pictures. My dogs seem to have a good time and came home tired. Their 2 Golden Retrievers were sweet and happy to have playmates for the day. Will definitely use them again for doggie day care. Highly recommend.”

About: I have taken care of many dogs in my life. I have 1 of my own that get the best care in the town. Many potty breaks, walks, play times, training, cuddles and much more! You won’t be disappointed! I am currently work from home Monday and Fridays and have the time to care for the fur friends. I can do daily walks, overnights, play times, check ins, you name it! I take very good attention to detail. I always have eyes on my dog and don’t let anything happen to them. I will always make them feel comfortable.
