About: With a background in raising giant breed dogs, including Great Danes and Great Pyrenees, as well as caring for cats, cows, goats, chickens, ducks, and pigs on a farm, I bring a wealth of experience to Rover. As a mom of two and a former first-grade teacher, I understand the unique needs of both pets and families. I excel in caring for puppies and providing specialized care for senior pets, ensuring every furry family member receives the attention and support they deserve. Additionally, our home has been a haven for fostering dogs of all breeds through Columbus, IN C.A.R.E., offering them a safe and loving environment while they await their forever homes. Pet care flows naturally into my day-to-day life. Right now, my schedule is very flexible since I'm only working as a stay at home mom to a kindergartener and preschooler.

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my whole life, big and small. I’m not afraid of getting bit, or cleaning up any mysterious liquids. I’ve been taking care of animals that are not mine for 2 years, and know how to get out some energy! I’m currently hired part-time at a dance studio, while also working freelance throughout town. I have a valid driving license and car, and will reply to any questions in no time! I have a dog at home to keep other dogs company, as well as food, bowls, toys, and J don’t mind any dogs on the furniture.
About: Being an energetic and patient person, your pets will thrive in my care, getting loved like they are my own. I have many years of experience w/ dogs & cats, a couple reptiles, and an occasional hamster. Not having any pets of my own, and being an empty nester, I have a very flexible schedule as well. I am now an empty nester, with no pets of my own, so my schedule is very flexible. I can happily provide short- or long-term care for your pets. I will ensure that your pet is loved and kept safe from harm. I can also give your pet a bath if needed, take them on walks and/or runs, give medication and lots of snuggles!
About: I've taken care of pets all of my life. From puppies all the way up to seniors. I love them all. They all need someone to care for them and feel the extra love especially when their normal family is away. I'm currently flexible and can fit pet care into my daily routine. Occasionally, I will pick up an additional job. But that shouldn't interrupt with taking care of what I love to do and that is to take care of fur babies. I would rather take care of your pets in their environment due to the fact that they are most comfortable there. I also have two fur babies of my own. But I feel as if fur babies are normally happy in their own surroundings.
“Stacey was amazing and went above and beyond for me and my pets. She mentioned she has 3 large dogs and her experience really showed. At one point I ran out of dog food and she offered to go pick some up. She also watched over my guinea pig and took great care of him, since she has rabbits of her own. I will definitely be booking her again and again!”

About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs my entire life. I’ve always had animals in my household. Neighbors, family, and friends have always trusted me to watch their furry friends while they were away. I work part time at a school from august to may. I have plenty of time every day at home to watch and play with your animals. I have a large fenced in yard for my dogs at home. I live with parents so my dogs have multiple people to let them out and play when needed. In clients homes I let them out often and I am able to walk them and play with them frequently.
“Hannah was very flexible, meet n greet, and is kind, confident, and understanding. She clearly has experience with loud and large dogs as well. I would trust her to watch the dogs again!”
“Janell was absolutely wonderful! We have five pets (two large dogs and three cats) who, while all lovely, can be a lot to manage all together. Janell took everything in stride and was an excellent caretaker while we were out of town! She was extremely communicative, sent plenty of pictures, and was very conscientious about their care. She also was very respectful of our home and left everything in great shape! There’s nothing better than knowing your pets are in good hands while you’re out of town and coming home to a happy and cared for crew, and Janell definitely fits that bill. We would absolutely have her watch our pets again!”
