“This was my first time using ANY dog service to sit with my separation anxiety ridden fur baby and I have to say I was MORE than impressed with Jaime!!! She truly is a Dog Whisperer and knows her canines well. Kobe immediately warmed up to her and made a new two legged human friend??. Jaime is a kind , knowledgeable person who definitely has that special energy that both people and especially dogs appreciate. It’s something you have or you don’t…you can’t buy it. I am so glad that I found her as she is now my GO TO for sitting with my 9 year old boy. LOVE HER!!!!! And Kobe LOVES HER TOO!!!!”

“Our pup was clearly happy and well taken care of while we were away. I appreciate how much Sarah took care of our needs (to get lots of updates) and was so flexible and understanding when the airline changed our travel plans on us. Our dog is happy to see us but I bet he’ll be looking for Sarah to come play with him soon! Will definitely hope to have Sarah come take care of him again!”

“Abby was incredibly attentive to my cat and sent frequent updates while I was away, and even took the time to ask several questions in our initial meeting to ensure all important details were communicated. My cat is VERY shy around people and yet by the end of my trip, Abby gained her affection - which speaks to how dedicated they were to genuinely caring for my cat. Definitely would recommend Abby a sitter for those that wants their pet to be taken care of like family :)”

“Adalyn did such a great job caring for our dog Hoosier and watching our house while we went away for a few days. She sent pictures and communicated with me daily. Whenever I needed to contact her about something, she was quick to respond and took care of anything I needed. We came home to a very clean house and a very happy dog! I highly recommend Adalyn and we will definitely be using her again!”

“Leah was great with my babies. We have 1 dog that is blind and diabetic. The other 2 can be a handful. She was able to handle giving shots. My babies were sad she didn’t come back. We will definitely be using Leah again”


About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs my entire life. I’ve always had animals in my household. Neighbors, family, and friends have always trusted me to watch their furry friends while they were away. I work part time at a school from august to may. I have plenty of time every day at home to watch and play with your animals. I have a large fenced in yard for my dogs at home. I live with parents so my dogs have multiple people to let them out and play when needed. In clients homes I let them out often and I am able to walk them and play with them frequently.
About: I've taken care of pets all of my life. From puppies all the way up to seniors. I love them all. They all need someone to care for them and feel the extra love especially when their normal family is away. I'm currently flexible and can fit pet care into my daily routine. Occasionally, I will pick up an additional job. But that shouldn't interrupt with taking care of what I love to do and that is to take care of fur babies. I would rather take care of your pets in their environment due to the fact that they are most comfortable there. I also have two fur babies of my own. But I feel as if fur babies are normally happy in their own surroundings.
“Mirte was absolutely outstanding! From the moment we connected, she was communicative, thoughtful, and incredibly caring with our home and pets. She went above and beyond in every way, sending regular updates and photos that gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Our pets clearly adored her, and it was obvious she treated them like her own. We came home to a spotless house, happy animals, and everything handled perfectly. Mirte is reliable, kind, professional, and truly one of the best sitters we’ve ever worked with. We would book her again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for their pets and home. Five stars all around!”


About: I’ve grown up around animals my whole life, from dogs and cats to lizards and frogs, so caring for pets comes naturally to me. I’m an active college student who loves being outdoors, especially hiking and long walks near the parks around me. Whether your pet wants to play, explore, or just relax with some cuddles, I’ll make sure they feel loved and cared for! My schedule is very flexible, which makes pet care easy to fit into my week. I currently work part-time as a hostess, but I’m usually available Monday through Friday throughout the day. Starting June 8, I will be in summer classes Monday-Friday 9 AM to 12 PM. If you need care outside those times, feel free to reach out. I’m happy to work something out! I live in a spacious apartment with access to a fenced-in rooftop yard where pets can safely play and get fresh air. I’m also close to Griffy Lake, so your dog can enjoy fun walks and outdoor adventures with me. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved.

“Tasha did a great job dog sitting Nala for me! She was kind, attentive, and caring toward Nala and was willing to work with me on scheduling! It was so nice to be able to go out of town for a night and have peace of mind knowing my girl was being taken care of by a fellow animal lover :)”

About: My pet care experience includes a variety of different animals such as, dogs, cats, a turtle, hamster, mouse, bunny, and fish! I have always had a strong connection with animals and caring for them in general. The passion I have for taking care of all animals is very strong and I believe they are the purest creatures we have. If you chose me to watch your dogs or cats I promise you they will feel safe in this home and loved while you are gone. Your pet will be in good and loving hands. I also believe that animals have distinct personalities and emotions and those emotions should be paid attention to. Animals have needs just like humans have needs. Us humans have to tend to them! I feed the cats and dog every morning around 7 or 8. I let the dog out for about an hour or so before I leave for work and, clean the cats litter boxes (yes, they have separate ones) while the coffee is brewing. I make sure to spend some quality time with them before I leave. When I get home, Juno is always so excited to see me and the cats run up to me too! I’m just as excited to see them as they are to see me… I am not offering Boarding services right now because my dog and cats do not get along with other animals. I do offer house sitting services, where I start off by greeting the animals and gaining their trust. This is always the first thing I do when entering your house. I then go to the kitchen where the instructions to feed and walk them usually are. If they are not in the kitchen I usually double check my Rover app to see if there are instructions there. I make sure to close all of the blinds in the house and, lock every door if I ever need to leave during the house sitting duration.
“Pamela was AMAZING!!! Ozzy absolutely LOVED spending the day with her and Isaac! It was his first time doing something like this and they used treats and were so patient with him. He seemed to have the best day of his life!! They anticipated his needs and took such great care of our lil guy, we're so grateful! Best of all, she was incredibly communicative and kind. Overall, EXCELLENT humans I would trust watching any of my loved ones! Thank you thank you!”

About: **I have 4 years experience fostering and training reactive, aggressive, and fearful dogs. I’ve seen many transform into well-adjusted companions under my care** I have years of experience caring for and tending to older dogs and cats with various health issues like hip dysplasia and incontinence, in addition to puppy and kitten care, too. I am patient and kind even with the highest maintenance puppies. I fostered neglected/previously abused dogs with Carolina Adopt-A-Bulls rescue for over 4 years. I am very experienced with mitigating leash reactivity and caring for heartworm-positive pets throughout their treatment, and I look out for dangerous situations before they happen. I am well versed in canine first aid and wound care. I am also a foster volunteer through the Bloomington Animal Shelter. I do not currently have a foster dog. I am attentive, caring, experienced, and kind. I can’t wait to meet your pets. I am a doctoral student, so I have some flexibility in my schedule. I’m booked up until 6pm on Wednesdays, but have more flexibility the rest of the week. I can take your pup for walks around the neighborhood, campus, or the many parks Bloomington has to offer. I have a comfy dog bed for canine visitors to lounge in while I’m studying.
About: Responsible, work-from-home woman who wants the opportunity to love and care for your dog and possibly bring mine as a friend! I have been dog sitting and raising my own for over a decade. Very familiar and comfortable with dogs. I work remotely as the director of a nonprofit. My schedule is flexible and fitting for house/pet sitting opportunities because I will not be working outside of the home. I have a friendly, 4 year old pup named Beaux. He loves to play with other dogs, is well trained, and obedient. He has traveled cross country with me and is quite adaptable (as am I).
“Stacey was amazing and went above and beyond for me and my pets. She mentioned she has 3 large dogs and her experience really showed. At one point I ran out of dog food and she offered to go pick some up. She also watched over my guinea pig and took great care of him, since she has rabbits of her own. I will definitely be booking her again and again!”

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.
“Kimberly was so good with our little cat! She was so kind and took great care of our home and fur baby! She even gave our cat who doesn’t isn’t good with medication her meds twice a day and sent us pics of our baby while we were on vacation! Will absolutely be booking with her again!”

“Shakarra was great with our 2 dogs! They can be a lot but they loved her! She was very responsive and sent pictures. I was so grateful to have her here and take care of them!”

Adalyn did such a great job caring for our dog Hoosier and watching our house while we went away for a few days. She sent pictures and communicated with me daily.

I highly recommend Adalyn and we will definitely be using her again!
