“Tasha was amazing! She took great care of our pets while we were out of town for a week. It took a lot for us to trust someone to stay at our house with our pets and I am glad we gave her a chance.

About: I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and sizes, from energetic puppies to gentle seniors. Whether it’s going for walks, playing fetch, or just giving belly rubs, I’m all about making dogs feel happy and loved. I’ve helped with feeding routines, giving medication, and providing calm care for anxious or shy pups. Dogs aren’t just pets—they’re family, and I treat them that way every time. I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to care for your pets. I’m available for boarding on weekends and for drop-ins or walks on weekdays and weekends. Your pets will get lots of attention and playtime while you’re away! When caring for pets in your home, I focus on keeping their routine consistent and stress-free. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for—just like you would. I treat every home with respect and every pet like family, and I’m happy to follow any specific instructions you provide.


13. Josh C.


“Josh was fabulous! Our dog really needed extra care emotionally since we had to have our other dog put down a month ago. Josh was here with him most of the time! During the meet and greet he took meticulous notes! He even brought him a treat (after checking with me.) Josh was able to administer several different meds too with confidence. His communication and pictures throughout his stay was a wonderful way to keep up with his care. He's very responsive, responsible, respectful, and kind. I will use him in the future and look forward to keeping in touch with him!”


14. Mia R.

“Mia was communicative, polite and professional. She did a great job with taking care of both my furry companions and the home. Because of her efforts and (respectfully brief/simple) updates, I was able to actually enjoy my long overdue vacation. =) Highly recommend her for sitting and will definitely reach out to her again when I need a sitter!”

Truly grateful for you♥️”


16. MATTHEW G.

“We had a fantastic experience with Matthew as our dog sitter while we went out to dinner to visit family in Greencastle, Indiana. He watched our two dogs for about 3.5 hours and did an excellent job. Matthew was professional, punctual, and took great care of them. He kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Both dogs were happy and well-cared for when we returned, and it was clear that Matthew genuinely loves animals. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. We’ll definitely be reaching out to him again in the future!”

“My daughter has been an amazing pet caregiver since she was 7 years old. She has experience with both dogs, cats, and horses. When she was 16 she was cleaning 20 stalls at her barn where she kept her horse. She was responsible for administering medications, giving food and water, cleaning their stalls, letting them in and out to pasture, and exercising them. Along with horses she has cared for her family members dogs while they were away on vacation. She fed them, walked them, played with them, and even would take them for pup cups if they were being good. I would 110% recommend her!!”
