“This was our first time booking Zachary to come drop in on our cats while we were gone for a week, and we could not be more pleased with his services! Although our set up is very simple because we have automatic feeders and a water fountain, he went above and beyond by spending time and playing with our cats. He left detailed updates on how they were doing, and you could tell that he was very attuned to their personalities and quirks. We felt so at ease while we were away because we could tell the cats were getting alot of attention and care. We will definitely use Zachary in the future!!”
“Beth was great with my cat Winry. Normally Winry hides when someone else is checking on her, but Beth managed to get her to come in just 2 days. She communicated well and did an excellent job taking care of things”
“After meeting Jennifer at a scheduled meet and greet I felt really comfortable having her do drop-in visits with our cat, Cleo. Jennifer did a great job interacting with Cleo, chatting with me, and listening to all the information I shared about our beloved girl. The Rover app was great and we loved all the pictures and details that Jennifer sent during her visits. It was very clear that Cleo was not only getting basic needs taken care of…she was playing, getting pets, and enjoying her visit. It definitely allowed us to relax and enjoying time spent out of town with family, knowing that Cleo was being well cared for at home. We are very happy with the whole experience and highly recommend Jennifer as a pet-sitter!”
“Marissa took great care of our cat Igor while we were away visiting family. He’s a shy kitty, but she got him to come out and play many times! She’s got great pet sense, and we would absolutely hire her again!”
“Karis was fantastic! Our cats quickly came to enjoy each visit and had lots of fun. Even our most timid cat was friends with Karis by the last visit. Communication was great and all of our cats' needs were taken care of. We will definitely rebook!”

I take excellent care of my two dogs. Reya is 8 years old, and Ziggy is 3 years old. I enjoy quality play time, cuddles, and walks! I will provide your pets with the same love and care that I provide my own. I pay close attention to detail. I am a teacher, so I am very patient. I will leave your home better than when I arrived.

About: Hello! I'm Carly. I've had dogs since I was a little girl and started to own cats in my college years. As time has gone on, I have adopted and purchased different pets and currently have three dogs, a wiener dog, English setter and Great-dane/mastiff/Corso. I also have four cats ranging in ages from kitten to old man :) All of my pets are extremely friendly and get along well with other animals! *** Care in Pet Palace *** I'm currently working from home, so your pets and I will spend all day long together! We will start our mornings with a morning potty break and some play time. My dogs love to roam the yard and play with one another with a little fetch every morning. If you prefer your dog has a breakfast in the morning I will serve this after some relaxing time in the mornings. We will take potty and play time breaks all day. I do have children, age 8 and up, who will be sure to give your pets love and attention and additional playtime all day long! Your pet will truly fit right in with us and feel apart of the family from day one! *** Care in your home *** Care in your home will occur to any standard and requests you set! Typically this will include myself coming to your home in the morning for a potty break and play time. I can also remain in the home for a period of time for love and snuggles if desired! I will come to the home as often as desired and provide meal during times requested! Please note I do not stay in your home overnight! *** Pet Palace *** When in my home, your pet will have the same access my pets do to the areas unless otherwise specified and agreed upon. Dogs have access to the entire first floor of our home and are able to lay on our furniture. Cats also have the same access as well as access to the second floor of our home, allowing them to relax in a quiet space away from puppy play! If I should need to leave the home, I do have a fenced in 8 foot tall dog run which includes a grassy area and a covered section on concrete where dog houses are for additional shelter. If the weather is not appropriate for the dogs to remain outside or you prefer they are contained indoors, a crate can be set up inside our sun room as well. *** In your home pet care *** If pet care is desired in your home instead, I will follow any instructions you may leave to care for your pet the way you desire so ensure they feel comfortable in their own home and to ensure you feel comfortable with the security of your home while you are away!
“On time, quality care, under budget - what's not to like? Jamie obviously liked the cats and the cats obviously liked her! This was one vacation where the well being of my pets was the least of my worries. Will definitely book with her again.”

About: I grew up on a cattle farm with two dogs (inside) and 10 cats (6 inside/outside and 4 outside). I am very experienced with the care that animals need and I will give them the care and attention that they need. I have experience giving medication to my own animals so I can give medication to a pet if needed. I am used to playing with my own dogs outside and at the end of the day I cuddle with them on the couch. I am a part time student at Penn Foster online with their vet tech program and a full time Animal Care Technician at Purdue University. I excel at belly rubs and head pats. I will treat your animals like my own and my pets are my children. I work full time at Purdue University as an Animal Care Technician so I care for all animals on the daily. I also have my pets at home as well. I always make sure that the animal is comfortable, fed, watered, and feels safe in my presence. I love to give attention and comfort to all animals.
About: I’ve been working with Cats just as long as I’ve been working with Dogs. Rescuing sick and injured cats and even bringing them into my home to help rehabilitate them. I currently work full-time at an animal shelter, which is only two minutes away from my house. Your pet will have a safe, private space to rest and enjoy the sun inside. I’m open to any specialized care your pet needs. Play time, Dog walking, scooping the yard while outside, scooping litter, specialized feeding. Whatever I can do for you that involves your pets I’ll do my best.
About: I have loved and cared for pets since I was a little girl. Growing up we had 2 dogs and 1 cat that I spent all my time with. I now have 2 dogs and 6 cats of my own that i love and care for everyday. I have good experience with senior dogs as one of mine is 12 years old. I treat every pet i meet as if they were my own and am a lover of all animals. I am currently working part time and take some classes for school through the week. my evenings are very open and most weekdays I have afternoons open as well. I always have time to love on as many fur babies as I can. I have a whole room in my house dedicated to the cats. They have some scratching posts, cat towers, and all their toys to play with, and we also have a catio connected to the window so they can hangout and play out there when they want to. I like to take the dogs on walks and play with them in our fenced in yard every day.

My dog is afraid of fireworks but I knew he would make sure she had her medication and do his best to make her feel comfortable.”
