Pet Boarding Ellettsville

About: Hi! I’m Jenna, a lifelong Bloomingtonian and best friend to every dog I’ve ever met! I am a stay-at-home mom to a preschooler and I also help run a national non-profit rescue for French Bulldogs. I have deeply loved several bulldogs in my lifetime, and as such am very adept to handling brachycephalic breeds and their particular needs. (Though it should be noted I tend to regular-nosed breeds with the same loving care!) As a former medical assistant, I am very comfortable caring for animals with moderate medical needs, those with disabilities, those requiring medication administration, etc. I have cared for hospice dogs, dietary restrictions, Mega-esophagus, Colitis, deafness and total blindness. You could say that special needs are my specialty. I have over 20 years of experience helping folks take care of their fur babies, from Pugs to Cane Corsos and lots in between. Dogs have always been my best friends and luckily, lots of humans pick up on that when they meet me. Most of my experience has been private house sitting and in-home pet care for coworkers for periods of a few hours up to a few weeks. I am brand new to Rover, but not new to taking care of animals. I currently work for a dog rescue remotely and am otherwise a stay-at-home-mom to a preschooler. I also provide daily care for one resident special needs rescue French Bulldog. I care for pets in the way that is safest for them, regardless of where that is. In my home, dogs are under my constant care. They will be taken outside on a leash as I do not have a fenced yard.

“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.”

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

“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.”

About: Hi! I’m Alana 😊 I provide reliable, attentive care so your pet can stay comfortable while you’re away. I started volunteering at a humane society in middle school and later gained hands-on experience shadowing veterinary technicians at IndyVet. This helped me learn how to read animal body language, handle different temperaments, and provide safe, attentive care. Growing up, my family had golden retrievers, pit bulls, cats, bunnies, and hamsters, so I’m comfortable with a wide range of pets and personalities. I now have three miniature dachshunds of my own, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I’ll treat your furry friend with the same love, patience, and care that I give my own! I work full time throughout the week. I am typically available during the evenings on Monday - Thursday, and then all day on Friday - Saturday! Because I have three dogs of my own, I prefer to have your dogs come to my home for overnight sitting. I understand how important our furry friends are and how difficult it can be to be away from them. That’s why I like to learn as much as possible about each pet ahead of time. Knowing their routines, preferences, and personality helps me create a safe, comfortable, and loving environment while you’re away.

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

Sophia H.

“We knew our dog Pepper was in great hands when we left her with Katie for the weekend! Katie clearly adores animals and treats them as if they were her own. She sent us several updates and photos, and it was clear Pepper was living the good life while we were away. Will absolutely be booking Katie again!”

About: Hi! I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up taking care of my own pets as well as helping family and friends with theirs. I was also raised around farm dogs, cats, and large farm animals, which made me very comfortable and confident around all kinds of animals, big or small. Over the years, I’ve done overnight stays, in home pet sitting, and daily care. I understand how important it is to have someone you trust looking after your pets. I currently don’t live with my two beagles and three cats (they’re at my family home with my parents), and I truly miss being around animals every day. That’s a big reason why I joined Rover, I love the companionship pets bring, and I’d be excited to care for yours while also picking up some extra work. I’m reliable, hardworking, responsible, and genuinely caring. You can count on me to show up, follow instructions closely, and give your pets the attention, love, and care they deserve. I’d love to meet you and your pet. I currently work six days a week from 3:30pm-9:30pm. I am fully available all other hours of the week. Also if given two weeks notice am happy to adjust my schedule to your needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ve grown up around all kinds of animals from very friendly to shy or anxious so I understand that every pet has a unique personality and specific needs. I will always follow your instructions carefully and completely, because this is your pet and your guidance matters most. I treat every animal with the same love, patience, and respect that I give my own. I truly believe pets are family members and deserve attentive, compassionate care. At this time, I do not have a fenced yard and am unable to host overnight stays longer than one night. However, if you’re looking for a quick Saturday night sitter, I do have a pet and child free home. There are no unsafe items within reach, and if your pet is crate trained, we have plenty of space to accommodate them comfortably but I also don’t mind a cuddly pet who prefers to sleep on the couch or bed as well. That said, I generally prefer staying overnight in your home, where your pet feels most secure and relaxed. I also have references who can attest to my respectful and responsible nature when caring for pets in others’ homes. Having walked my two dogs together for years, I’m confident in my strength and stamina your pup will be safe and secure on walks with me. You can trust that your pet will be cared for as if they were my own.

About: College student available for part time help. Missing my dogs while at school!! I am a responsible, springer spaniel lover, and have been lifelong dog owner and carer most of my life. I am a senior in the Kelley School. Able to walk your dog mid-day or end of day most days throughout the week. Available on the weekends (around the football schedule!) I love to keep dogs company, get them moving, play with them. I like to make sure they’re comfortable and have their space, whether close or far from me.

I have a apartment which is allowed to have pets and big enough for small and medium dogs to have fun.i love play with dogs and cats!

“We couldn’t be happier with the care our dogs, Ludo and Lucy, received from Kimberly! Our dogs were in wonderful hands, and we could tell they were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Kimberly was loving, attentive, responsible. It gave us great peace of mind knowing Ludo and Lucy were being treated like family. We highly recommend Kimberly to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring. We will definitely be using Kinberly again!”

“This family is amazing! We left for a week shortly after rescuing our new dog. I was worried how he would transition being placed somewhere for a week after just settling in a new home. All my worries faded away after the meet and greet. My pup acted right at home with their entire family. He even learned to play and socialized with their sweet dog. I received constant communication and so many sweet pics and videos of him playing, napping, cuddling, being loved on, etc. Nikole and her family will always be my go to for puppy care when away. I’m a customer for life! Thanks for everything!”
