7. Amy W.
About: I am organized, clean, and trust worthy. I love all types of pets! I love dogs but do not have any. I have 2 cats of my own. I have experience with training pets at home. My dream job would be training a service or therapy animal. I have volunteered at the Indianapolis humane society I mostly worked with small dogs, young and old. I am a night owl so I can let dogs out in the middle of the night. I am fit and like to take walks! I love outdoors and adventures. I know the bonds that people create with their pets, they are our children! I am young and looking to spend time with amazing animals. I have a very flexible job that I only work 3 days a week. I am in the medical field and know how important our pets health is. Pets need a lot of attention and love that I’m willing to give. Young or old pets love to play or sometimes cuddle cuddle I’m willing to do both. I love throwing a ball, tugging on a rope or running around outside.

9. Sierra B.
“Sierra is my daughter. She has been raised surrounded by animals of all kinds including hamsters, fish, and turtles. We never stopped the kids from the responsibilities of caring for living things. Currently she cares for 2 goats, 3 dogs, and 1 cat at our home. Sierra enjoys all sorts of animals especially horses. Please contact her with your needs for care while you are out. Sierra will leave your animals clean, happy and most certainly well loved.”

“Jacquie did a great job of taking care of my dog while I was away. She was very good at adjusting her times because of the heat wave that hit while I was gone.”
11. Ashlynn S.
“Ashlynn Is always the first person I ask when I am needing to go out of town, for my pets. I travel frequently and am not able to bring them. Ashlynn has always been excellent with providing exceptional care to my animals. I have never had a problem leaving any of my animals in her care as she has always provided pictures to keep me updated and won’t hesitate to ask a question if she’s unsure of something. I highly recommend Ashlynn.”

14. Trilce S.
About: My parents were pretty sure I was going to be a vet or work in a zoo! I ended doing something completely different but my love for animals is still there. I've spent a lot of time with canines, felines, rodents, reptiles, insects... and each one has been a pleasure! I believe that sharing our lives with pets makes us better people. I am very happy that mine chose me as their human. I usually work a typical 8-5 M-F but now that traveling is getting back to normal, I have heard there is need for short term home stay, overnights and just life, that happens. Happy to help over the weekends and whenever possible. We have an energetic Jack Russell and a calm but active Lab. They have totally different personalities but they complement each other. The best care is the one that allows pets to be themselves, teaching them boundaries and "manners" in a loving way. They get well fed, they go out for their bathroom breaks - thank you fenced yard! - and lots of games and love.
15. Kyleigh F.
“This testimonial is for Kyleigh, whom I have known since she and I were 10 years old. Kyleigh is one of the most passionate animal lovers I know. Especially dogs! She has been responsible for dogs for her whole life - from her childhood puppy to her three silly fur babies now. She is incredibly knowledgeable about all breeds of dogs and how to care for them. And the doggos love her!!! She was always the first person my family would call when we needed a dog sitter. I cannot recommend Kyleigh enough!”
16. Abigail R.
“Abigail did such a great job with our dogs and was super communicative the whole way!”
17. Bryelle F.
About: I’ve been taking care of animals since before I could walk. I have been a sitter for many different houses as well as animals before and enjoy spending time with each one of them. I feed and walk my dogs daily so my daily routine is pretty surrounded by my dogs as well as cats. I plan my days around what they need. I care for my own pets within my home but enjoy traveling to different clients homes to see their animals as well I usually first evaluate what they need and then I enjoy getting to know the animal and see what their personality it.
18. mitch m.
“Mitch is a very pet friendly and loving to animals and when we go on vacation we trust him watch and care for our two cats and German shepherd and now we have a female husky that he gets a long with and they all love him. They all get excited when they see him and then no longer want us when he’s around. He would be great at this type of work with animals.”
19. Becky & Joseph P.
“Becky cares for animals the way she cares for people, which is superb. To her, dogs are part of the family and will be treated with the upmost respect and compassion.”
20. Isabella S.
