“Elliot was great! This was the second time he helped us out with dog sitting our two big dogs. He was very communicative and flexible with his hours. The dogs obviously loved him. I highly recommend him if you are looking for extended pet/house sitting.”
“Lucy D was great with Penny. This is the second time that Lucy has stayed this summer. It is nice to go away and not have to worry. The house, plants, fish and especially my precious Penny pup were all fine on my return!”
“Paul was absolutely wonderful as a house sitter! He was so attentive when we met and asked so many good questions about our pets' habits that I could tell right away he was going to really take care of them. Our house was in perfect shape when we returned and he provided great updates each day while we were gone. I will definitely hire Paul again!”
About: Having grown up with a variety of different dogs, and volunteering at shelters, I work well with all kinds of dogs! I have stayed overnight with pets in their own home, but have also just checked in on dogs while their owner was away. I love playing outdoors or going on walks with the pups, and can do short and long distances! During the week I work part-time in the evenings at a local dance studio, but am generally open during the morning and day time. My schedule in the evening is a maximum of four hours, so I could easily check on the animals before and after my evening shift. Always allowing the animal to warm up to me, I have learned to be patient with extremely shy dogs and letting them approach me first. In my own home, I have a teacup yorki and a basenji mix and have loved having both a smaller pup and medium sized dogs. Throughout my time dog sitting, I have learned to respect the animals space in their own home, as some can be particular on which areas they allow guests. I love allowing the dog to get out some of their playful energy at dog parks or simply snuggling up on the couch with pups. I also have my own transportation, if the owners prefer or request I take their pet to the local dog park!
About: I’ve had over 50 years of caring for many breeds of dogs, including my own. I am respectful of others homes and can be trusted to give loving care to your dogs. I am a retiree that has a fairly open schedule and able to spend the night at your home. I may need to leave for an hour two at times for health appts. and going to our home to let our own dog out for a bit. I am flexible on how to care for your dogs in your home, including using a crate. I will respect your current ways of sharing your home with your dogs.
“Kaiya was FANtastic with our pups!! One of our dogs is quite anxious and can be reactive, but Kaiya was incredibly sweet and patient with her and they became fast friends. She’s respectful, personable and a great pet sitter for anyone, especially with anxious dogs. Thank you Kaiya!!!”
“Audrey did an amazing job with Draco! She sent me pictures every day and gave him plenty of play time. She stayed in my apartment and was very respectful to the space, will definitely be reaching out again when I need a sitter!”
“It’s my first time using Rover and was eager to work with Sara based on all of her positive reviews. The 5⭐️ reviews are spot on! Sara was amazing! Super communicative and responsible. She updated me daily with pictures and a summery of how things were going. I cannot recommend Sara enough and hope to be able to work with her again in the future. Thank you, Sara!”
“Jeffery was great! We got lots of pictures and he communicated really well. He even worked with my pup who wasn't very happy about taking meds from a new person and found a way to make it happen. I appreciate him!”
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals since I was 10, including dogs, cats, parrots, chickens, and horses, and have some dog training experience. I just graduated from college, so I have a relatively free schedule as I transition, and would love to dedicate that time to animal care! I make sure I am very attentive when seeing what the pet needs, and I make sure to accommodate for whatever recommendations my clients would like to see being done. I also have a flexible schedule and can work around whatever is needed for them to remain happy and healthy.
About: I’m usually the first person my family calls when they need someone to care for their cutie pets while they’re away. As a grad student and pet owner myself, I understand the emotional support that animals can provide! Pets are family members and I understand what it takes to look after family. I send daily photo updates and report back any information requested. I have experience maintaining training schedules for puppies. I’m diligent at following care plans and requests. Overall, I truly to enjoy connecting with animals and their owners alike! Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and considering me. I’m currently working towards my graduate degree and have a flexible daily schedule. I am able to stop by routinely (in between classes or internship commitments) to take care of your pet! I am available most weekends and weekdays. My schedule is subject to change in a few weeks with the start of a new semester. My goal is to continue the quality of care that your pet is used to. I want to reduce the amount of stress they might experience in the absence of their loving owner(s)! Keeping their routine as similar as possible is key. Meal times, walk times, crate/no crate, on/off furniture, treats, etc. are all things I try to attend to. I am open to specific requests your pet might need!
About: Hi, I’m Gabe! I’m 28 with a 15 year old pup so I know a thing or two about gentle care for dogs. I know peace of mind is the best thing I can offer folks who need a little help with their animals, I’m excited to be able to offer that for all who I work with! I’m currently a full time employee from 9-5. My schedule is pretty flexible so I’m able to help most anytime of the day as needed. Ideally I’d be able to help out in the mornings, afternoons, and evenings! I can drop in, talk your dog on walks, or a quick bathroom break. I’m here to best serve you and your pet so whatever you guys need, I’m happy to help!
“Dani did a great job with my pets. I came home to very happy critters. She really goes above and beyond with things like watering plants and getting the mail as well. She was also good about sending me pictures every day. It really gave me peace of mind. I can't recommend Dani enough. Truly top notch care for pets and home.”
About: Hello! I am an IU alum and live on the west side! We have a fenced in yard in case your pup needs to run off some energy while boarding! We have two 5 year old black labs - Kennedy & Finn - who are our babies!! I work from home full time and I am available most weekends as well! I am very responsive via phone, text, or email. I work from home and my work schedule is very flexible! I am able to care for dogs in my home and visit homes to take dogs out and on walks! My husband and I keep a very tidy house and have automatic secure trash cans. We never leave food out and do not believe in scraps given to our pups. We definitely take the necessary precautions such as neutering/spaying, chipping, and vaccinating our pups. They are also on flea tick & heartworm medicine.
