“So grateful for Westley’s time and attention to my herd of four (4) basset hounds. During his daily drop-in visits, Westley took them on walks around our property and spent time with each one. He was covered in fur by the time he left from giving them all the scratches and pets he could muster! He was great about giving daily updates and pictures of them that I never would have captured otherwise! Will book with him again!”
“Wendy’s visits were excellent and provided us with great peace of mind while we were away. We all loved getting pictures of our pets and seeing that they were well cared for. Would definitely recommend and will hopefully get to hire Wendy again soon!”
“Theresa was incredible with our dog Adelaide. She spent extra time with her and did everything she could to help her be comfortable with a new friend. Adelaide is not easy to win over, but by the end of the night she was up on the sofa with Theresa, which made us so happy. We can’t wait to have Theresa back and neither can Adelaide.”
“Catherine did a great job watching our little puppy Wrangler! She was able to help us out for a few weeks very last minute after getting our new puppy! She took time to let her out during the day, play with her, and give her attention! I would recommend Catherine!”
About: I’ve taken care of animals all around the family! I have two dogs and a cat at home who have been spoiled so much. I love animals of all kinds. I have given dogs and cats medications orally.

I keep an open schedule! I am able to take your pets on walks! As long as it’s not raining I would love to take your little ones on walks. I keep animals close when a vehicle is near. I’ll treat them as my own!
About: All my life I’ve grown up with a variety of different pets, from cats named “Refrigerator”, an Iguana named “Dude-Man”, and your average Joe of a dog. During these years, I’ve learned that each dog, cat, and iguana has specific needs unlike any other of its kind - whether that’s extra love, time to be an introvert, or health care. I have skills to do basic trainings with dogs, as well as a strong skill in consistency to make sure your pet’s training you’ve worked so hard on continues to be worked for under my care. I’m a college student located at Indiana State University. I’m free nearly every evening and have a very flexible schedule to leave campus and ensure your pet can get the attention it deserves. I enjoy a written list of what your specific pet needs- just to make sure I hit every mark. I grew up with my grandmother, so I know how to respect a home!

About: I have taken care of animals since I was little. I have been taught from a young age the best and most effective way to take care of your pet. I know each furry friend has an owner that loves them very much and so I always treat each pet as if they were my own. I am currently working part time so I have plenty of time to play and interact with your pet. Pets need love and attention and that is very important to me. I have a fenced in yard and I make sure each dog is properly cared for and has the play and toys they need to be super happy.
About: I love all animals. I especially love dogs and cats. I have worked with animal rescue groups and I volunteer my time to help shelters and their efforts. I have had dogs and cats all of my life. Mostly large breeds. I am comfortable with any large breed. I am also very patient with dogs that are still learning. When I am walking a dog I am fully focused on them and do not try to rush them. I help reassure them if they feel anxious or unsure of their surroundings. It should be an enjoyable and healthy experience for the dog and for me as well! I would like to have several regulars that know me and are excited to get a routine going. Having a relationship with the dog and owners is important to me so everyone can feel comfortable.

Hope D.
“Hope is reliable when it comes to pet sitting. She follows instructions, shows up on time, and makes sure the pets are taken care of. She’s not overly sentimental, but she keeps things clean and calm. Animals seem to be comfortable around her, and she gets the job done right.”
tracy f.
“I worked with Tracy for 19 years in a home in Carmel, IN. This home had 5 dogs at one time. Tracy is an animal lover. Among her duties, she cared for the animals as if they were her own. She kept the dogs food, treats, and meds stocked, fed them, walked them, and took them to the vet when needed. The animals loved Tracy and were excited to see her always. She will be a great pet sitter, dog Walker, and daycare employee for both dogs and cats. Georgia Property Manager”
