“Margaret did a fantastic job checking in on our kitty while we were away for a week, making sure he got all the attention and playtime he needs. I loved receiving the detailed notes and pictures after each check-in! We will be reaching out to her again when we travel, for sure 😊”
“Cassandra was willing to care for my cats on extremely short notice and we did not even get to do a meet and greet in advance. Nevertheless, she was immediately able to bond with my cats and asked insightful questions and was very careful to be sure they were getting the right amounts of food and supplements. From the expression on my cats faces in the photos she sent, I can tell that the cats absolutely love her. I can recommend her highly and hope she will be willing to help us again. I think she is a cat whisperer!”
“Very reliable, trustworthy, knowledgeable, caring sitter. She updates me frequently on everything for my fur babys, follows instructions and takes sure good care of my dogs. Definitely rebooking❤️❤️❤️”
“Amanda did an excellent job watching our kitties. She is highly dependable, flexible and does a thorough job. I would definitely love to have her watch our cats in the future.”
About: I grew up with cats and developed a lifelong love for animals from an early age. Throughout high school, I regularly cared for cats and dogs for families in my community, gaining experience with companion animals of different breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments. I also volunteered with a service dog organization, where I worked with dogs ranging from puppies to adults and learned how to handle a variety of training and behavioral needs. In addition, I have experience using Fear Free handling and training techniques to help animals feel safe and comfortable. As the owner of a reactive dog, I have firsthand experience managing behavioral challenges with patience, consistency, and compassion. I'm currently working part-time, so I will have plenty of time to check in, play, or exercise your pets! I have a wide range of availability, and I can't wait to meet your pets! I tailor my care to each pet's individual needs and routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. In a client's home, I follow all feeding, exercise, medication, and enrichment instructions while maintaining the pet's normal schedule as closely as possible. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, and affection, while also respecting each animal's personality and boundaries.
“We have had Jordan sit for our cats (and fish!) three times now and she is absolutely the best! She communicates with us right away if there are any concerns or issues and she sends great updates about our fur babies. I trust they are in wonderful hands with her!”
“Maya was great with our 2 dogs. She was reliable and on time for every visit. We were away for a long weekend and were very busy. Her check ins and pictures of the dogs she sent showed me they were good and well taken care of. I would highly recommend her and I will definitely ask her again.”
“Matthew provided excellent care for our two cats. He posted daily photos, which I greatly looked forward to each day while on vacation. He has excellent communication skills, and I know my cats will miss him! I would definitely recommend his services to any other cat owner that is looking for a cat sitter!”
“Marissa is exceptional she took our 7 day appointment last minute and was very understanding and communicative. We were very skeptical at first using a service one to watch our puppy and two having someone coming in our home while we weren’t there. Marissa communicated every day as well as sent pictures. She definitely went over and beyond with our puppy “Buddy”, She bathed him, took care of his play pen area as we would. Im very thankful for Marissa and clearly Buddy enjoyed her as well.”
“Jordana connected with my kitty right away and took great care of her. She is very dependable, takes great pictures to share with me and handles the feeding, playing and litter box with love. Highly recommend her for your pet care!”
“Colleen was amazing! Very friendly with our girls and great communication with us while we were out of town. Above and beyond even cleaning up after them in the yard!! Thank you!!”
About: Hi! My name is Dante and I absolutely love dogs. I do not treat this as a job but as a privilege to take care of pets. I have always had a pet in my household, so I am very comfortable with dogs. I am young and promise I will have just as much energy as your dog does. I am very good at butt scratches and belly rubs. I will be prepared for any situation and I am very easy to contact. I understand plans get altered and I am flexible with changing schedules. I will treat your dog as I treat mine and make sure everything is done to the best of my ability. I hope you allow me to make your dog’s day the absolute best I can. Thank you
About: Hello! I am a studying veterinary technician at Purdue University! I've also have done work at both boarding facility's and doggy day cares. I have had training in handling, playtime, walks, designated diets. Everything you can think of to keep your pet happy while you are away. While my schedule may vary during different semesters,it should mostly stay the same. I am available during most afternoons till later into the day. So I can take care of any potty breaks, lunchtime, or later day walks as needed. We have a fenced in back yard with plenty of space for the dogs to run around. The backdoor is a glass screen door, so it is easy to keep track of them if I need to step inside quickl; but I prefer to stay outside as long as I need to keep an eye on them.
“Cara is the best! She takes care of Gambit as if he is her own dog. He looks forward to seeing her, going on walks and playing. I don’t think I’d ever find anyone as great as Cara! I consider her part of the Gambit family”
“Linda takes great care of my 3-pet crew when I'm out of town. She really caters to my senior dog's likes and dislikes, and she also makes sure my 2 cats are cared for too. She is very dependable and I know they are well cared for and I don't have to worry. I especially love all the photos she shares since I always miss my fur babies when I'm gone!”
“Thank you for taking such great care of Lady! We could tell by the pictures provided that she had a great time playing in the backyard and she looks forward to hanging out with you again soon!”

Jennifer truly is a “star sitter”. She performed all services promptly and professionally and went out of her way to send pictures and updates. She was respectful of my home and I felt very comfortable with her having the access she needed. I recommend her with highest confidence and accolades.

From a Husky Owner: Finding the right dog sitter is crucial for a Husky owner. Huskies are known for their high energy, need for consistent training, and strong prey drive. Therefore, Ryan was highly appreciated! He understood that a Leo needed more than a just short walk by automatically volunteering an extended walk tailoring to include vigorous exercise allowing my dog to burn his energy. The ability to manage leash manners and maintain attention, even with distractions, was impressive, as Huskies can be very independent on walks. Ryan asked about Leo’s training leash techniques and reviewed modeling the leash behavior. In addition to physical activity, Ryan showed commitment to mental stimulation for Leo. Puzzle toys and an intense play session kept Leo’s mind occupied, which helped prevent any destructive behaviors that can arise from boredom in Huskies. Training commands were also reinforced consistently, which is important for this breed. There was also excellent communication from Ryan during my time away! Knowing that Leo was well-cared for, happy, and engaged made my trip more relaxing and worry free! I’d highly recommend Ryan as your next dog sitter!
