Pet Boarding Ellettsville

“My kitty had a lot of fun hanging out with Heath, he watched him all weekend and sent me lots of updates and pictures!”

“I can't recommend Danielle highly enough! She stepped in at the last minute to provide specialized care for my cat after an incident just days before vacation. We so relieved knowing my pet was in such capable hands. Being a vet med for over a decade she is incredibly knowledgeable, attentive, and confident handling medical needs. Danielle took the time to ensure my cat, Jelly, was comfortable and well cared for, and they kept me updated throughout. It's not easy to find someone with this level of experience and compassion. I would absolutely trust them with my cat again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a skilled and dependable pet sitter.”

“Mason has been such a great sitter! He first started with boarding my pup at his home and then has helped with drop in. He is very communicative and flexible. I absolutely recommend using him!”

“Becky, Hands Down is a great, reliable, and trustworthy dog sitter. I have a young Italian greyhound, Peach, who is very timid and nervous around new people and unfamiliar situations. Every time I have booked Becky, Peach has been relaxed, taken care of and in good spirits when I pick her up which is important for me. Becky is always easy to get a hold of, she regularly sends updates, including videos and photos of how my dog is doing, and has been so accommodating to a variety of care items (medications, etc) in the past. I have trusted Becky with my dog for multiple stays and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptional dog sitter.”

About: I've been providing reliable, loving pet care since 2017, with most of my experience caring for pets in their own homes where they feel comfortable and secure. As I expand my services to include boarding in my home, I'm excited to offer a warm, safe, and welcoming environment for your furry family members. I'm a proud dog mom to three friendly girls, each around 25 pounds, who love making new friends and sharing their home with visiting pups. They are well-socialized, enjoy playing with other dogs, and are always excited when a new guest comes over for a sleepover. Whether your pet is staying overnight or for an extended visit, you can count on them receiving plenty of attention, companionship, playtime, and care—just like one of my own. 🐾 I work full-time, so my schedule closely mirrors a typical Monday–Friday routine, which can help provide consistency for pets that are used to being home during the workday. My three dogs are crate-trained and comfortably spend time resting while I'm at work. I also have opportunities to work from home on occasion, allowing for extra supervision and interaction throughout the day. If your furry family member needs a midday potty break, I'm happy to come home during my lunch break to accommodate their needs. Outside of work hours, pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and companionship as part of our daily routine. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment that feels as close to home as possible. 🐾 I provide a safe, structured, and welcoming environment where pets are treated like part of the family. I have a fully fenced yard, and all dogs are supervised during outdoor time, whether they're taking a potty break, exploring, or enjoying playtime. Safety is always my top priority, so pets are never left unattended outside. Inside the home, pets receive plenty of attention, companionship, and opportunities to relax and play. I work to maintain a routine that helps pets feel comfortable and secure while they're away from home, ensuring they get the care, exercise, and affection they need throughout their stay. 🐾

About: From day 1 I have been the BIGGEST dog lover 🐶🥰 From having some of my own, to taking care of my friends and family’s dog, to play dates with other family pets. I absolutely adore having a built in best friend at your ankles day to day and always there to snuggle and play. What a dream to be able to care for other peoples babies! They will be well taken care of 🐾 I currently work just part time. I’m available on weekends currently, Mondays & Thursdays all day! My other days I can walk your pup after 5 🥰 We live in the country! Lots of room for running and our dog to play with as a companion. Willing to help fit your pups needs. Plenty of walking available around us as well.

“Jenavieve was amazing with our dog and cat! She definitely made them feel loved and gave them lots of attention. We look forward to having our pets stay with her again!”

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was little. I am a proud mom of a shih tzu and and a little sassy cat. I have volunteered for animal rescues and would love to watch your fur babies. I work a corporate job 9-5 and I take my lunch to walk my dog. The weekends are usually chill and spent hanging out with my family. I have a fenced in front yard which is shared by the building and a small Shih Tzu to keep your dog company. My schedule is flexible and I can hang out with your pet most of the day/night. We have 3 bedrooms and can give your pet their own space if needed

About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life and understand that some animals need special care. I live in a quiet neighborhood with great walking paths! I work a Monday through Friday normal schedule, going into work around 6am and coming home around 3pm each day. I love going on morning, afternoon, and evening walks with my dog, Toby, and he loves to run around our backyard too. Weekends are meant for fun! Sometimes we go to the dog park or a walk through downtown. I care for them by giving them attention, sticking to a nice schedule, and understanding that every animal is different in their own, unique way. Some require more care, others are very chill like my own dog!

“Grace was wonderful!”

“The BEST. ♥️ I cannot say enough good things about Katherine and the experience my dog had staying with her. She was exceptionally warm, thoughtful, attentive, compassionate, loving. Beyond being nurturing, Katherine was clearly experienced in caring for dogs. My dog is 14 and Katherine went above and beyond in making sure the environment was comfortable for her. She sent photos throughout my pup's stay, and my pup was relaxed and happy in every photo. I think my dog wanted to live with Katherine after her stay. She was SO HAPPY when I brought her home. She was looking at me like "thank you so much for this vacation, mom" -- seriously. Katherine went far beyond making sure my dog was fed and safe. She was spending quality time with her, playing, and treating her with kindness and lots of affection. Leaving a dog with someone new can be a bit stressful, Katherine immediately made me felt at ease and I knew my dog would be in wonderful hands while I was away. You could not ask for a better sitter. 🐺 🫶”

“Absolutely wonderful with my two dogs; they were taken very good care of, and I got daily pupdates! She was very responsive and understanding to the times I needed to drop off/ pick up my dogs. I will most certainly be boarding my dogs here again when needed.”

Ryan L.

“Always so warm and friendly and love on our dogs. We love taking them here and know they are always cared for so well. Have used multiple times and will use again!”

“Kim took such good care of Dutch! I would use her 1000x over again. She was so patient with him he came from a rough situation and we weren’t sure how he was going to do with having to go to a sitter that he didn’t know but she took her time letting him warm up to her. I can’t thank her enough.”

About: As a pet owner myself I know that our pets are our babies. (Lord knows I treat mine like my baby). I work from home so someone is always with your fur baby. We live about 5 minutes from Switchyard Park and like to walk the trail. Our apartment complex has a small dog park and a trail that is about half a mile long that we go on all the time. My dog is part husky so I know the importance of keeping dogs busy. We have multiple puzzles and toys ready to go. I’m very type A when it comes to my dog so you can expect the same with your pet. I’ll over communicate with you, send you photos daily, and let you know how your pup is adjusting. Safety and communication are always number one. I’ve grown up with pets all my life and baby sat for other dogs. My dog has some medical issues (a bad knee) so I’m no stranger to medication and keeping an eye out on existing injuries. If you want to meet up or see the environment your dog will be staying before hand, feel free to reach out to me! Since I work from home we take a lot of short walks through the day and I set up puzzles for them to play inside in case it’s too hot. I want to keep your dogs schedule as much as possible. A new environment for them can be stressful and if I can help ease some of that with following their schedule, I’m happy to do it! Your dog will have free range of our apartment. They’re allowed on all furniture and we have multiple dog beds in case they want their space. We have 2 crates in the house in case the dogs need to be crated and we will never have more than 2 dogs in the apartment (yours and mine only). We have a small dog park across the street of our apartment that will only be used if no other dogs are already there. Of course I will ask your preference if you’re comfortable with them going there or only walks.

About: Hi, my name is Melinda of bark and stroll. I love animals. I have my own animal and I love taking care of animals inside my home or your home. I am retired, and I have plenty of time to take care of the animals. I love playing with them and taking them on nice walks. I have a decent sized yard. It’s not fenced in so I do walk the animals on a leash and we have some woods with paths near my house.

“Lindsie provided excellent care and attention for my little boy Otto. She was very good about sending me photos and reassuring me he was doing just fine with her. Otto is a 9 year old Miniature Schnauzer and used to just the two of us being together but he did very well with Lindsie. I highly recommend considering Lindsie as a sitter.”

“Tasha and Leo were very sweet. My dog was really nervous around their bigger dog, but they really helped her feel comfortable, and Tasha gave me a lot of updates to make me feel comfortable as well”

About: I own a King Charles Cavalier and a German Shepherd currently! I grew up on a farm in southern Indiana with multiple foster and adopted animals! My mother instilled a serious love and adoration for people and their favorite pets. I volunteered at our local animal shelter, was trained in multiple animal science courses, and was taught to love and respect the animals I work with, both domesticated and exotic. I have handled dogs, cats, reptiles, rodents, foxes, raccoons, bobcats, farm livestock, petting zoo animals, and more. I love them and have tons of professional experience to give your fur-baby the best experience possible. Please feel free to message or call whenever needed and I am more then happy to accommodate ANYTHING you or your sweet pet needs. I have lots of time on my hands, currently we start our mornings with a good meal and a long walk along our neighborhood. We will head to the house for a quick nap or so that our older dogs and puppies can rest. We then head to either the local state park or a dog park for some new stimulation. When we return home, we have some free time with toys and puzzles, enjoy another good meal, take another long, walk around the neighborhood, and then cuddle on the couch or in the beds until bedtime. I don’t have a fence in yard however, we have multiple leashes here as well as one that you would prefer to use. All of our animals are continuously monitored, I work part-time, and we also have cameras in the house. Feel free to request photos or videos of your baby at any point in time.

“Ana was a great host for our dog’s 2 night, 3 day stay!! Very communicative and flexible with our dog’s needs! Her background in fostering dogs definitely shows! Will highly recommend her to anyone!”
