Amy did an amazing job with our handful of 5 cats for a few days of house sitting. Everyone was happy and taken care of, and the house was in good, clean condition.

Karen is awesome! My dogs are well taken care of by her and have fun and relaxed when I can’t be there. She is very attentive, responsive, keeps me updated, and there when the girls need care and loving. She sends me photos, follows my info on the dogs, and leaves my home spotless. She’s great!!! I trust my two dogs with her unconditionally!

Thank you so much for watching our fur babies. You were amazing! Super easy to deal with and we can see our babies were loved! Also the little animal line up was hilarious to come home to! We appreciate everything!

I couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch my two dogs! Kyra was incredibly attentive, kind, and clearly loves animals. From the daily updates and photos to how relaxed and happy my dogs were when I returned, everything was top notch. My dogs can be a bit anxious and high maintenance, but they warmed up to Kyra right away, which says a lot. I felt completely at ease knowing they were in great hands. I highly recommend Kyra to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!

About: I enjoyed having cats and dogs growing up. As an adult, I have taken care of both cats and dogs for friends. I also worked/volunteered at a local shelter for years. working with puppies. old, big, little and traumatized dogs. I can run with those that want to. Additionally, I’m good at fetch and tug-of-war. I have commercial auto insurance coverage for your pet in my care. And I have uploaded a copy of my PetCare Insurance in my photos that covers potential incidents in your home, my home and in the park. I’ve given medication’s. I will follow your instructions to the letter and I don’t have an opinion. I have a lot of free time while I’m working on a book and don’t really need the money. I just would love the experience. I think the most important part is safety. PetCare Insurance for the unforeseen, but vigilance eliminates a lot of that. Pets are often curious and you need to make sure they’re not getting into harms way. When I take your dog for a walk, I won’t be on my phone because you need to be on the lookout for potential danger. I can take your dog to the park, around the neighborhood, for a drive or just stand in the yard. It’s all up to you. I will follow your instructions without opinion.

Allison did a great job with our dogs! She had great communication, sent us photos so we knew they were having fun, and kept us informed. We will definitely book with her again in the future and would recommend her to others for their dogs.

Tessa took great care of our cat Tigger, attending to his feeding schedule and his insulin shots to maintain his health. She also sent us photos of Tigger so we could see how well he was doing with her. She stayed at our home and left it in great shape for our return. She was charming and interesting to talk to as well. You can’t go wrong with trusting her in your home!

About: I have so much love for animals- and I know how pets are part of the family! I have watched the pets of neighbors, friends, and family for the past six years. I can take care of your pet in whatever capacity you need- walking, feeding, overnights, and overall care! I have pet-sat for dogs and cats of varying breeds and ages, as many as four animals at a time! Your pet (or furry family friend) will be in great hands when they are with me- I can guarantee it! I am currently working at Purdue University, so I work 8-5 Monday through Friday, but I’m able to assist before work, over lunch or after 5 during the week. And I have weekend availability as well! Im happy to help whenever I can! I am comfortable caring for your pet in whatever way you need. I understand that every animal has different needs, so I will care for your pet in the way that works best for you and for them. But I will always treat them with love and kind consideration.

About: I've cared for my family pets for over 8 years! I have always loved animals and I am passionate about their care. I have a lot of experience with cats and dogs. I have also volunteered for many years at a cat shelter! I watch over my sister's cats by scooping their litter and providing abundant love to them. I also care for my dad's dogs when I visit him by feeding them on schedule and walking them in a timely manner. I am available to check in on pets or let them out and feed them as needed! I care for pets by understanding how they react to me and others, and caring for them without overbearing them while taking into account their needs.

Zach watched our 9 “kids” for 14 days. Unfortunately it was not an uneventful stay for him as our kids were not on their best behavior! Zach handled a not so feeling good old girl, a bratty teenager and one in heat like a champ! If it wasn’t for him we’d never get to take a break! This was not the first time we’ve had Zach sit and it definitely won’t be the last. We would absolutely recommend him to anyone. Thanks Zach!

Grace took care of my two dogs and my house. She was excellent! Very kind made sure they were properly cared for and left the place as she found it. She was also able to last minute extend the booking due to flight delays. Very pleased.

Madisyn is the absolute best! This is the second time she watches our fur babies and she cares for them as if they were her own. We feel so at ease leaving them in her care, our pups love spending time with her!
