About: Animals have been a huge part of my life since I was little - from dogs and cats to reptiles and small pets. For almost a year now, I've been a volunteer with Midwest Pet Refuge, working hands-on with cats and a variety of small animals. I've fostered cats for the past 8 months, including newborn kittens who needed bottle-feeding from just a day old. I also have experience with rats, bunnies, guinea pigs, reptiles, and dogs, so I'm comfortable caring for pets with all kinds of personalities and needs. I'm patient, gentle, and genuinely love getting to know each animal as an individual. When I'm caring for your pets, they'll be treated like family - safe, loved, and cared for with experience you can trust. Pet care is an important part of my week, and I make sure to set aside dedicated time when I can be fully present and attentive with your animals. Dedicated Pet‑Care Days: - Sundays: 10:00 AM – 5:00 PM - Mondays: 10:00 AM – 5:00 PM - Tuesdays: 3:00 PM - 5:00 PM - Thursdays: 3:00 PM - 5:00 PM These are the days when I can focus entirely on your pets — keeping them comfortable, following their routines, and giving them the same gentle, family‑style care I give my own animals. If you need Pet-Care on different days or times, message me and I'll see if I can fit you in. I volunteer at Midwest Pet Refuge 3 days a week. Those days are dedicated to rescue work, so I typically don’t take on additional pet‑sitting during those times. Between my volunteer work, home life, and my scheduled pet‑sitting days, animals are at the heart of my weekly routine. The structure helps me stay reliable, consistent, and fully available for the pets in my care. I care for pets in their own home where they feel safest. I treat every animal like family — following their routines, giving them attention the way they like it, and keeping their space clean and comfortable. I’m gentle, patient, and attentive, especially with shy or sensitive pets, and I always make sure they feel loved and safe while you’re away.

“Always so thankful for Jessie !!! Such a great job”

About: My family has always owned a dog. Ever since I was young, my family and friends have relied on me to care for their animals, whether it be a walk, or an overnight sit. I’m a current Ball State Social Work grad student and love paying visits to the local Animal Shelter in my free time! I am a part time grad student at Ball State University, and also work part time at a daycare. I still have a lot of free time I’d like to fill throughout the week doing something I love, like taking care of animals. I am very attentive when it comes to caring for other peoples babies. Safety for myself and the pet is my number one priority. I do have a fenced in big back yard, and I also live right next to campus!

About: I have pet sit for many years. I love meeting new animals. I enjoy pet sitting because as a social worker I am able to come home to an animal and sent time with them. Animals are the way I cope. I have plenty of time to play with animals in the evenings and weekends. My schedule is very open for this and I am excited to have this opportunity I will ensure to keep everything the way I found it or even better. I know animals do best in their own environment so I have no problem being in other peoples homes. I show respect.

About: We’ve had animals since our whole life, me and my partner love to take care of the animals and would love to meet all of your animals and to take care of them, take them on a walk, etc I’m currently working part time, my partner, Taylor is a online college student so we have a lot of time between us to go and take care of the animals whenever it is needed (: When I’m at your home I’d watch them all the times, put on leash everytime we go out or go on a walk, make sure they’re keeping themselves busy

About: I grew up with 3 large breed dogs and have done 2 years of dog walking / pet sitting! During my 2 years of pet sitting, I took care of puppies from 6 weeks old to senior dogs. Things that fell under the description of ‘took care of’ are; picking up poop, feeding / following dietary schedules, administering medications, walks, play time, bathroom breaks, training work, mental stimulation (snuffle mats, kongs, etc.) I do daily dog walks, and am helping my parents raise and train a German shepherd! I also have 2 cats of my own at home. I will travel to your home by car! I do not offer care for your pets in my home due to my cats not being very sociable haha!!

“Maura accepted our last-minute request to provide drop-in care for our cats and bird when an unexpected trip came up. We trusted her from our first meeting with her and she did a great job! She communicated with us and sent photos from every visit. We will definitely reach out to her when we need to travel again!”

I have been in daycare settings for children, so I will treat your pups care like I do with daycare kiddos, I will be very communicative to you, and send you pictures. I have trained multiple puppies in my lifetime, and have had a couple of senior dogs. I have had Labs, one Doberman, and Pugs. I have also raised two litters of puppies. Currently, I have an English Bulldog/Sharpei mix who is 11 months and constantly learning new things about behavior, and how to manage it. I am always learning new things about dog behavior and training as it is one of my passions. I will treat your fur baby as my own. I am excited to get to know you and your fur baby. Pet care fits into my daily or weekly routine because I am at home and I am excited to start taking care of other peoples pets. On the weekends at the moment I can fit in some later shifts, it is not listed, however I can. I will care for your pets the way you want me to take care of them. Tell me what you want me to do, and I will do it. These are your babies. I want to learn everything about them and care for them the way you care for them.

About: I Have experience with cats of most sizes dogs, birds, arachnids an even reptiles. I will treat your furry one like they were my own. Partner is working an i am full time dad looking for side income that doesn’t require me to leave our little one. Our child loves animals as well.

About: I’ve had pets pretty much all my life. They each become a part of me and stay in my heart forever. I’ve had cats, dogs, fish, birds, and I have cared for them along with bunnies and snakes when I worked at the shelter. I love my pets dearly and will treat your pets with as much love. I currently have more open availability in the mornings so I would be able to check in on your pets for you while you run your errands or you’re at work. Give them the love and attention that you want to give them, but unfortunately aren’t able to. I wake up in the mornings and give my babies food and fresh water. Give them attention once they wake up a little bit. I check their bowls periodically when I’m home and change the water at night and give them a little more food before bed. Along with nighttime cuddles because house are important. I wake up in the morning and take care of my cats first thing. Get them food. I wash their water bowl out and get them fresh water. I give them attention after they wake up a little bit more. I pay attention to their body signs and try to give them what they need. I love and care for my pets and I will do the same for yours.
