1. Tayler A.
“Tayler was everything we could have asked for, she communicated very well and sent lots of pictures. She has a lot of knowledge of dogs and that made me feel very safe leaving my dog with her. If I could give 100 stars I would! I will definitely use her again in the future!”
2. Laura E.
“Laura is a loving and dependable person! She took care of baby Penny like she was her one of her own when I was out of town. She provided updates with plenty of pictures and videos so I knew Penny was having a good time and being well taken care of. You can rest easy knowing Laura is looking over your fur babies.”
3. Lillian W.
“Lilly stayed with our 160 lb. pup for 3 nights and did a great job sticking to his routine which includes pills 2x a day, meals, walks, and giving specific treats at specific times. She sent photos of him every day, which helped put me at ease. I was thrilled to find Lilly as she has extensive vet experience, and our pup is prone to seizures. Fortunately, he had no episodes while we were away, so she did a great job keeping his anxiety levels down. I definitely recommend Lilly and will be contacting her again.”
4. Avarie C.
“Avarie is great! My two energetic young pups loved her and she kept me updated with photos throughout her stay. She also left the house spotless! I will definitely use her again.”
5. Trystine C.
“Trystine did great. I'd never had a house sitter before and the one I had booked previously ghosted 2 weeks before the booking, but Trystine stepped in and saved the day. Responsive to messages and respectful of your wishes and boundaries. My dog is shy and she gave him the patience he needed to adjust to her. Thank you.”
6. Mattie R.
“Mattie is lovely! She took great care of our senior pup and our home as well. She sent photo updates and stayed in touch with us our entire trip. She is sweet and honest. An absolute gem!”
7. Ashton C.
“Ashton has been watching my sweet German Shepherd Kloey and my little tabby cat Poodles for about 2 years now. Ashton is reliable, communicative, kind, and trustworthy. Anytime we go out of town, we never have to worry about our furbabies being taken care of, because I know they are in Ashton’s care <3. I could not recommended a better caretaker for your pets.”

About: Hello! I have grown with my pets my whole life and currently have three cats and two dogs of my own. I have often taken care of friends and neighbors pets and worked in a doggy daycare in high school. I’m currently a college student but my schedule is very open. I have classes Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 9:00- 1:00 but I am available for house checks, dog walking or other pet services before and after those times. I am a college student so I go back and forth between Gambier and Indy As a pet sitter, my primary goal is to ensure your pets safety. I will provide personalized care catered to each pets personal needs. I will prioritize their well being by keeping their living space clean and administering any medications as needed.

She is the primary caretaker of two dogs at home, and they are well taken care of in every way you can imagine. She understands how to make sure pets feel safe and cared for. Molly is trustworthy and respectful, and you will feel at ease with her in charge. You should absolutely hire her to look after your pets!”
12. Elizabeth B.
“Where to even begin? Elizabeth was absolutely the greatest! I had never spent more than a week away from my pup, so when I went to Europe for a month, I was naturally nervous about leaving her for so long. I couldn't be happier with the service that Elizabeth provided! She treated Zoe like a member of her family. She sent tons of pictures and updates about how she was doing. She made friends in the neighborhood and played with her more than I do. She took her camping with my permission. She gave her lots of treats and love. She picked up on quirks that only I knew about and really seemed to love taking care or my dog. My pup also needs medicine twice a day so that she doesn't have seizures and Elizabeth took this VERY seriously. She asked all the right questions and gave my dog all the attention she needed and then some. She even left my place cleaner than I did! If you need someone to take care of your furry friend, I cannot recommend Elizabeth highly enough. I will definitely plan any future trips I take around her schedule to make sure she can take care or my dog again.”
13. Kelly F.
“Worked with my fussy old pup to get her meds twice a day and just to eat. We got pics as often as we wanted. House was as clean as I left it. Ginger was just happy when we got home. Home run if you ask me again. Kellie was great! Would totally ask her again!! Btw, we were gone almost 11 days”
14. Skylar W.
“I've known Skylar over 20 yrs and she has loved and cared for animals her whole life. She even took her love of animals and made a career out of it. Dogs especially are probably liked more than some people.”
15. Sarah R.
“Sarah has watched and care for my dog, and cat, many times. Rosco absolutely adores her, and her dogs, and is always so excited to see Sarah. We have had to switch dog foods a few times to find the best fit, and Sarah is always attentive to making sure Rosco is taken care of the same way I care for him when I’m home.”
16. Thera R.
“Thera has watched my families animals for years. She has taken care of our Great Dane, German Shepard, old mutt, and even our fiesta Chihuahua. She did a great job at keeping them entertained and healthy! I will always recommend her to anyone needing pet handling!”
