House Sitting in Carp

About: I grew up with all kinds of pets and have continuined the tradition in my own home. The last few years since becoming a remote worker, I have been pet sitting in clients homes administering simple meds and taking general care of their cats and dogs (often both). I work remote, so there aren't too many obstacles in the way of scheduling. I typically have plans throughout the week, often around 2-4 hours total, that would take me out of the home. Otherwise, I'll be in the home taking care of your pet. I care for pets in the comfort of their own home, keeping them on their usual schedule. I provide walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of love while respecting your space.

“Tasha was outstanding with Max. loads of pictures and videos. Will definitely call her again. Thanks for allowing us a pleasurable time without worrying about Max.”

About: I’ve taken care of fur babies for as long as I can remember. I have also volunteered at the shelter. I currently have 1 dog and 7 cats of my own that I rescued and adore. Animals have a special place in my heart. I currently work a full time job but now that my children are grown I have evening time Monday-Friday after 5:00pm and every weekend open. I can provide any and all necessary care for your pet. Feeding/watering, litter cleaning, play time, walks and administering medication if needed. I would care for them as if they were my own.

“Was super easy to work with and had great communication. Also stayed an extra day when we had some issues getting back into town. Definitely would recommend booking her!!”

About: Hello! My name is Christina. If you are looking for a reliable and responsible adult person to tend to your home and animals while you are away look no further. I have been in Bloomington for about 16 years and when I moved to Indiana the only person I knew was my dog. Therefore I know what it is like to have to rely upon strangers to take care of my dog or watch my place while I am away. Let me be the person you can count on to take care of your home. I am available to: Take up your mail and newspapers Feed and walk pets Take trash and recycling to the road for pickup Water plants Notify you if there is an issue with your home For your peace of mind I do not take jobs that I cannot do. This minimizes frustration and increases reliability. I hope to see you soon ? I work full time but I do have weekends off and I’m usually off of work around 3pm. Afternoons and evenings work best for me. On the weekends I tend to be an early riser so I can drop in first thing in the morning. I have been a pet owner for the last 16 years. I understand if you have certain routines and preferences for your pet. I have no issues following the instructions left.

“Leah was an excellent sitter! She took great care of our senior dog, Reggie. I appreciate that she sent lots of updates. I would be happy to have her watch Reggie again!”

“We are new to the area so did not know anyone to ask for dog care, so I found Elliot totally organically via Rover and am glad I did. Elliot was awesome. We had him house/dog sit for us for close to a week and he was great. Very responsive and understanding when the dates of our trip got moved around. Also he was able to swing by and let the dogs out again when our flights got delayed. The dogs were happy and healthy when we got home and seem like they loved him. We will be asking (hoping) Elliot can dog sit for us again in the future.”

About: I am pawsitively the best. I have been around pets and taking care of pets my whole life my family adores pets, so we’ve always had them. I used to be the neighborhood sitter for children and pets, growing up during my teenage years and in my college years. In my opinion, nothings more wonderful than caring for our furry friends and making sure they are happy and comfortable and have the best life they can have. I am also skilled at working with elderly pets and giving medication’s including insulin shots and I’ve had to administer an IV regularly on one of my cats in the past who had diabetes and her pancreas was going out, with that said, I am very comfortable administering any medication’s that your pet may need. I am an entrepreneur, and I’m currently working on putting together my business adventures. Sometimes I Uber and DoorDash or Instacart, which creates an open schedule. I can work around my pet care schedule with my current obligations. When I care for pets in my home, I am able to take them to the pet park that is provided by my apartment complex. There’s also a lot of wonderful places nearby to go on walks. If I am taking care of a cat, I would play with the cat and keep him/her very comfortable. If I am taking care of a cat or dog in your home and you have a fenced in backyard, I will make sure your pet has time to run around and play and I will play as well with you furry friend or take your dog for a walk around the neighborhood.

“Alexis was a great help. She was able to step in a week before our trip. She worked well with all three of our dogs. She was responsive with updates, and I appreciated her spending lots of time at the house so that the dogs got more social time with someone.”

“Stephanie has been great with our two big boys! She's watched them several times and they always are happy and well taken care of!”

“Westley has been a very dependable caretaker for our pups for about 3 years now and let me tell you - it’s been a lot! He’s handled medicine regimens, isolation protocols, highly intense treat negotiations, and public exposure of soft pet-able bellies. If you need someone to provide you peace of mind while you are away from your pups - Westley is the guy for you!”

About: Hi there! I’m an avid animal lover with a gentle, patient approach to pet care. I share my home with a sweet kitty named Evie and my rescue beagle, Mylo: a lovable goofball who keeps me humble and well‑trained. I always look after every pet with the same attentiveness, patience, and high-quality care I give my own little crew. 🐾 󠁺 Before pursuing social work, I actually planned to become a veterinary technician, and that early passion for animals has stayed with me. I’ve volunteered at the Wabash animal shelter, spent years riding horses, and gained hands‑on experience with all kinds of personalities and needs. Mylo, who struggles with anxiety, has taught me a lot about de‑escalating reactivity and building trust through positive reinforcement. He also takes daily medication, so I’m very comfortable administering meds and following specific care routines. Mylo likes to think of it as his “evening treat with extra steps.” 󠁺 Over the past several years, I’ve pet‑sat for friends, family, and their extended circles. This has allowed me to care for pets of all ages and ranging needs. No matter the temperament, I adapt to each animal’s personality, mood, and boundaries. Striving to create a calm, reassuring environment where your pet feels understood is central to my approach as a caregiver. 󠁺 Please reach out if you have any questions! Your pet's comfort is my priority ❤️ My schedule is currently very open as I wrap up my internship, and I’m available for daily check‑ins, walks, and overnight stays! Please feel free to reach out with any questions, I’m always happy to connect. ❤️🐕‍🦺🎾 I love caring for pets where they feel safest, their home 🏡🐾. While I’m there, I carefully follow your pet’s routine and keep their space clean and comfortable, so you return to a happy, relaxed fur baby and a home that feels just as you left it (or better).

“Za’Bella watched my dog Lily for nearly 2 weeks & did a phenomenal job! Lily absolutely loved her & was sad when she left. She is great at communicating & making sure your animal has everything they need. As well as making sure they’re getting enough play time/interaction. I absolutely will be booking with her again!”

About: I am currently a proud parent to two cat, so I’m very well versed in their play styles and respecting their boundaries. However I spent my childhood with a loving dog who recently passed away. Navigating his senior years taught me that care isn’t just about walks or treats but about patience, sometimes administering medication, and recognizing subtle cues of a senior pet that may need a little extra comfort. Whether your pet is a high energy pet or senior pet who needs a gentle hand, I provide intuitive, dedicated, and delicate care that I’d want for my own. I’m currently a college student, but have lots of time to care for your pets! I’m available on Mondays and Wednesdays from 12:30 PM-4:00 PM or 5:30 PM-10:00 PM. Thursday- Sunday I’m available anytime after 7:00 PM. Whatever your pets need, I have it covered and their safety is always my number one priority. From double checking that every gate is latched and every lease is secured/correctly on to closely monitoring your pets for any sign of discomfort, ill treat your home and your pets with the highest level of care. Whether it’s following a strict medication schedule or navigating a high energy walk, I’m prepared for any situation!

“Breanna is an amazing and wonderful sitter! She went above and beyond watching my pups and kept us updated. She will definitely be my go to sitter!”

About: Hi! My name is Aubrey and i’m a freshman at IU with reliable transportation! I was raised on a farm and we bred dogs, so I have years of experience with dogs and cats of all kinds! I have experience with small and little dogs, energetic and lazy, as well as cats! I am usually pretty available as my work and school schedule are both somewhat flexible. My schedule is pretty flexible! I’m a student with not many in-person classes, so anything from dog-walking to pet sitting usually fits into my schedule! I am comfortable watching/taking care of pets in your home, whether it be overnight, multiple nights, or just throughout the day! I’m open to everything!

About: I am truly fascinated about animals of all kinds, especially the “weird” ones! Growing up in North Carolina, I naturally had a passion for the outdoors, and the creatures who inhabit it. I quickly learned to have respect for these animals and have always wanted to learn more. I have years of personal experience caring for and loving dogs, cats, rabbits, snakes, geckos, and freshwater fish, but I am comfortable with many other species as I also have experience as an exotic veterinary assistant. I will always listen to every comment or concern, and make sure I am 100% available for all of your animal’s needs! I will always personally conduct a “history” with you, about your pet(s) before any booking! I feel like it is important to note certain information so I can look for any changes during our time together. I always log eating, drinking, defecation, and behaviors so I can ensure your pet is as comfortable as possible! Lastly, I understand that I am being entrusted with your animal’s care, and I take that very seriously. If there is ever a slight cause for concern, you will be contacted immediately! I am working part-time on Fridays and Saturdays currently. Please refer to my calendar for more details! I look forward to working with you and your pet(s)! I always approach animals with care and ease. I am never forceful or yell, and try to be as attentive to their needs as possible!
