“Shaun is the best! We’ve booked him before and will continue to book him in the future. Nicest guy and he really cares about animals and it shows when he’s checking in on our cat. 10/10”

“Madison was great with our puppy, she did drop in vista. While caring for our dog, she played fetch with her while allowing her plenty of time to do her business outside. She was great with sending pictures and very responsive with text messages.”

“Took great care of the dogs. Provided great updates, fed them, and let them play for a drop-in! Very attentive, would definitely recommend them, proactive in reaching out as well.”

“Brittney took care of my two cats when I was away for 2 nights. She was easy to communicate with, sent us a picture when she visited them. We will hire her again in the future.”

“Deborah is awesome. My Frenchie puppy loves her and she is consistent and reliable. Communication is easy and she replies back quickly as well. I would highly recommend her :)”

About: I’ve been around pets all my life. Whether it has been through friends, grandparents or neighbors, I have helped care for dogs and cats alike! I enjoy getting to help out and spend time with them. I am fairly available during the week days for a drop in as I work in the early mornings and late afternoons at IU. I am also available for evening drop ins after 5. I care for pets in my home just as I would my own pet! Drop ins would work best for me as I am in at apartment currently!
“Wes has been taking care of my puppies for years now! I have full trust in his dynamic ability and judgement, as we are away for extended vacations and he has taken care of issues independently and flawlessly as they arise. My pups absolutely love him!! I absolutely recommend him for your own pups!”


“Sarah saved our lives! We moved to Bloomington shortly after getting married and dont know anybody in town to watch our cats who are basically our children. She really goes above and beyond.”

“Patricia was AWESOME with our pups! She gave detailed updates, sent lots of photos, and gave our doggies lots of love while we were away. I would recommend her to anyone in need of great pet care!”


About: I have had up to 6 dogs at one time. I used to volunteer at the Bloomington animal shelter and was a dog walker. I’ve fostered and rehomed many dogs, as well as done dog sitting for friends. My cat and dog both get along with dogs and love having friends play and snuggle with. I am a social worker who works out of my home. I do travel for work some days, but never over night. I have a flexible schedule and days where I do not travel at all. I’m home most weekends and evening. I have a 7 year old son, so work around school hours. I’m the owner of a lazy fluffy cat and a very loving and playful husky who loves making new friends and having someone to run and play with. I have a large addition in the back of my home, including a kid room, as well as many areas where dogs can stay separated if needed. I also have a fenced in yard and plenty of space for dogs to play. I have very few rooms with carpet, so accidents are never an issue (because they happen!)
About: I have taught my dog multiple tricks and continue working on separation anxiety and reactivity. Since getting my dog I have learned a great deal about dog food, behavior, and training. I've always had love for animals, and have had a dog in the house since I was 4 years old ranging from small dogs too big dogs. Growing up I would binge animal planet and had hopes of being a veterinarian. Now as an adult, I have had Midas for 3 years. I treat every new dog I meet with respect, and of course love. I've learned to be able to adapt my energy and interactions with different dogs depending on their personality. I would love the opportunity to be of service to you and your lovely fur-baby! I will be un-employed from my seasonal lawn and landscaping job starting December 12th. I will be returning to that job sometime April 1st. I also plan on starting an odd jobs side hustle during the winter months. So if i become too busy from odd jobs I will adjust my availability accordingly and stay available for constant communication to ensure no scheduling conflicts. Christmas and new years (December 22nd- January 2) will be limited availability. February 14-21 i will be on a trip to Arizona. I take my dog for a jog every morning, at least one walk, to our little dog park at the apartment two times per day, and the big dog park a couple of times per week. We go on adventures together and explore different walking paths and nature trails. We feed him once a day and ensure he does a series of tricks and waits for the "ok" command before he can eat. We feed him a three way mix of fresh pet, Dr. Harveys, Meats, and Kibble. I intend to provide a healthy and fulfilled life full of play and love for my dog, and I will treat your dog the same.

About: I am a certified pet groomer with 7 years of experience, and many many more years of experience in caring for animals. I also have pet cpr and first aid training and have worked in veterinary, boarding and daycare settings while in my grooming career. I also would like to add that I am comfortable with a variety of different animals also. I have ample experience with dogs and cats but am also comfortable with rabbits, ferrets, reptiles, rats, and even things such as hedgehogs. I put alot of time, research and care into every animal I am responsible for and am always willing to learn more. I hope you find me fit for the job! I am available evenings and weekends to come to your home and care for your pets. I do have a 7 year old daughter who I have 50/50 custody of with her dad, so some weeks I have more availability than others. When I come to your home I will make sure to do all the things they are used to doing with you! The more info you can give me of what they enjoy or need the better I can give them the care they deserve.
