“Bree went above and beyond when we had an emergency on our vacation far from home. Recommend her heartily (make sure to leave a nice tip if she has to climb through your window).”


“Barbara was doing recurrent drop in visits for both of my dogs 2x a week for a few months and she went above and beyond to ensure that both of my dogs were cared for. Not only did she fulfill their basic needs, but she also went the extra mile to engage in some playtime. Barbara was communicative and punctual! I highly recommend her services!”

About: I’ve worked in pet stores and a vets office since 2008. I started training dogs professionally in 2013, but my mom will tell you that I’ve been bringing stray pets home as soon as I was allowed to play outside alone! In 2016 I was accredited by the AKC training program and can now do evaluations for them as well. I currently work at Starbucks and PetSmart, but my love for dogs is strong! I own 3 dogs, a crested gecko, and 2 guinea pigs. One of my dogs is a standard poodle who will be a show dog and performs in lure coursing and other dog sports! I’m currently looking to walk dogs near me in the Indianapolis area and boarding cats and dogs in my home.

About: Hi I am Stephanie. I am a life long dog owner and lover of all animals. I currently have a Cavapoo named Sophie who is my little ball of attitude. I have experience with all kinds of dogs, labs, cocker spaniel, doodles, German shepherds,and French Bulldogs. I am willing to watch in your home as my girl isn't fond of guests. I work full time but depending on the area of town I am available for midday walks and care as well more and evening. I would love to provide amazing care for your pup while you enjoy a relaxing vacation or are out of town for any reason. I currently work full time on the north side of town but am located in New Haven in. I get 1 hr for lunch and if you are located huntertown or in this area I can definitely do midday walks and cuddles. Walks, let on lead, electric fence or anyway you prefer your pets to do their business. Feeding, playing and of course cuddles to begin and end the day.

“Stephanie went above and beyond to make sure Odie had the best time while I was away at work for a week. She was flexible and accommodated last minute changes, she cleaned up after his messes and just did an amazing job. Thank you so much for all you’ve done for Odie and I!”


“Amara was great with my pets! They always seemed very content in the pictures and videos that Amara sent me while I was away on vacation. Amara was also very flexible and patient and very kind. My pets definitely seemed to love her! 😊”

About: Sometimes, humans have "ruff" days. And that's okay. I take care of your fur babies so that you can relax and have fun the human way! Hi! I'm A.J., and I love dogs. I’ve been dogsitting since 2017, and I've lived in a multiple-dog household since I was born. I've grown up taking care of dogs from the moment they enter the world on into old age. Playtime is an absolute must for this household, and payment for potty breaks is accepted in the form of tail wags and sloppy kisses. If you decide to book with me, you can be sure that your pooch will get plenty of time outside, lots of play and cuddles, and many happy memories for you in the form of photos and videos. Rope toys! Balls! Chew toys! Frisbees! We have it all. Plus plenty of opportunities for hugs, kisses, and treats! No aggressive breeds, please, but all ages are welcome!

I check all fences for holes before I stay anywhere, and any walks taken will be on harnesses and leashed.

Stephanie S.
“We had Stephanie care for our two frenchie puppies while we were in a 12 day vacation. We had never been away from our pups for more than a night, so I was very nervous to have them stay in another persons home. We found Stephanie and she came to live in, house sit as well as dog sit for us. She was phenomenal!! She took care of our girls like they were her own, as well as maintained our home. We struggled with getting the pups fully housebroke and when we returned they were! She kept them on a schedule, checked in with us twice a day and sent pictures. I would highly recommend her to watch your fur babies, you won’t regret it!!”

“I can't say enough great things about Rachel! She does a fantastic job taking care of my dog and cats while I go away on vacation. Not only does she keep my dog active and happy with daily walks, but she also gives my cats the play, attention, and care they need. My pets approach her with love whenever she arrives. Rachel goes above and beyond by sending regular updates and photos, which really puts my mind at ease. It is clear that she genuinely loves animals and treats mine like her own. I always come home to happy, well-cared-for pets, and I couldn't be more grateful. Highly recommend, and I’ll definitely stick with booking her for future trips!”

Leah B.
“Leah (for as long as I’ve known her) has been a dog/cat mom. From the kitten in our dorm room, to the two dogs and 8 cats she now has, she has always been responsible and more than loving to each pet baby. She treats them like members of the family and they are obsessed with her. Couldn’t recommend Leah more!!”


Wendy L.
“Wendi has been walking my dog for almost 2 years 2-3 times a week. I trust her with my baby girl and she does have her own key to enter my home. I’ve watched her postings on her fostering and I believe that she is excellent with animals. She’s very caring and lives to care for and rescue four legged babies. She bakes pet healthy birthday treats, protects them from weather with sweaters/ jackets when needed. I believe Wendi would love your baby(ies) just like her own.”
