“First time for Ollie to meet Nicole and it went great! It’s so amazing to see him comfortable immediately with someone when he’s normally nervous with strangers. I will definitely be having Nicole over again! Thanks so much!”

“Kassandra is marvelous! She's friendly, kind, and very reliable. My dogs adore her! She's been a great help while I've been recovering from surgery; her dog walking has made Birdie and Gracie so much happier and calmer. I would use her services again in a minute!”

About: I grew up around a variety of animals my whole life and I have been caring for others pets since I was 13 years old. I have always loved animals and treat everyone's pets as if they were my own. My senior year of high school I created my senior project around therapy dogs and helping special needs children. I trained my own dog to be a certified therapy dog through the organization known as Pet Partners. The remainder of the project was visiting with special needs children and doing educational activities. We also visited libraries and young children with developing their reading skills. I recently graduated from Purdue University with an Animal Science degree which has allowed me to gain even more knowledge on how to care for people's pets. I also have knowledge of animal CPR and first aid for cats and dogs. I'm looking forward to being apart of this pet care community and providing excellent care to all the pets I encounter.

“Caroline is a life saver - she’s always let my pup out on short notice - and has taken him for walks, fed him, and just played with him. While I was at work.”

About: Where do I start !? Animals were a big part of my upbringing, dogs in particular! My family always took in dogs and other stray animals and housed them till they were well enough to go home! I’ve always loved dogs and my mom has trained them for about 10yrs. I’m delighted and excited to work with even the most difficult dogs, they won’t even know what they’re up against! I’ve got 2 Rottweilers of my own ( 9yrs and 3yes) and without them our house would be pretty boring lol. I also have 2 ferrets, 1 green cheek conure, 1 painted turtle and a bearded dragon and the way they all get along you would think they were all born from the same litter just how they all interact with each other. I work a full time job early in the morning till early afternoon (5-3:30) and my doggies go to work with me where the office is completely set up for them:) I do not have a fenced in yard, but i do have a fenced in pool which could also provide plenty of exercise for your doggo! I have an enclosed patio should your dog enjoy basking in the sun like my Brutus does:) I’m a pet owner so it never stops, my pets go everywhere with me! I wouldn’t say they are spoiled just extremely loved and fortunate ❤️ I treat every pet as if they were my own, that’s just how I roll! Trust me they’re gonna love it here and so will the pets owners!

“Josh and Susan were great! I had them walk my dog very last minute and they were super great with accepting my request and their communication after the walk. Can’t recommend enough!”

About: Your Place or Mine, Your Pup Will Be Fine — Walks, Play, and Cozy Care Every Time! I’m semi-retired and work from home, which means your dog gets consistent attention, companionship, and a calm environment throughout the day. I’m also a proud mom to a sweet, social 10-year-old chocolate Lab who absolutely loves having other pups around. She’s gentle, well-mannered, and enjoys making new friends. At my home, pups can enjoy my attached outdoor lead, perfect for safe movement, fresh air, and easy potty breaks. More importantly, I’m very active and adaptable — whether your dog prefers short neighborhood strolls or big outdoor explorations, I’m happy to make it happen. If your pup needs a lift, I even have a backpack carrier for comfortable, assisted adventures. Inside, your dog will find plenty of comfortable spots to relax, including multiple cozy dog beds (and yes, the human bed is an option for snuggly sleepers). I provide a variety of toys and enrichment activities, along with lots and lots of love, attention, and reassurance. Whether you need boarding, drop-ins, walks, or help at your place, your pup will feel safe, stimulated, and cared for as if they were my own. I am semi-retired working from home with flexibilty to meet many schedules; while I prefer a few days notice, I can adjust as needed. Just let me know! Creating safety and trust in the home begins with consistency, calm energy, and clear communication. Pets feel most secure when their environment is predictable, welcoming, and free from stressors, and I make it a priority to mirror the routines they know best. I work closely with pet owners to follow the schedules, habits, and structure that make their puppers feel comfortable—whether that means specific feeding times, preferred walk rhythms, or familiar bedtime routines. A favorite toy, bed, or treat? No problem. I’m happy to incorporate anything that helps your pup feel at home. A safe environment also includes providing a designated resting area, maintaining a peaceful atmosphere, and using gentle, positive reinforcement to build confidence. With patience, attentiveness, and respect for each dog’s individual needs, I create a space where pets feel protected, understood, and truly cared for.

“Katelyn did a fantastic job. She did a great job with my dog, Morgan, and went the extra mile to make sure she had water in her bowl before leaving. Our dog has a hard time going to the bathroom with new people, but she went both with Katelyn. 5 stars and will book her again :)”

“Taylor is warm, friendly, and affectionate with Misty. Misty loves her immediately. I enjoy having Taylor's help in walking my dog, and will use her services again without reservation.”

“Mayo reported having a wonderful walk :)”

About: I’ve owned cats and dogs my whole life! I love both! I also rode horses for many years and have had friends with bunnies and rodents so I have experienced many types of animals I’m a college student! Tuesdays and Thursdays mornings i’m in an elementary school and Wednesday’s I spend my whole day on campus as well as Thursday afternoons. I’m free most of the time ! I don’t board animals due to my own pets. But i adhere to any schedules and routines done in the home. I also respect others property. I always leave the place clean and tidy after staying and make sure to communicate anything necessary.

About: Ever since I was little, I’ve always been surrounded by furry friends. I value the tranquility, love, & affection that animals bring. I love every animal; big or small, energetic or calm, you name it! I will take care of your pup the same way I would my own. I am currently working part-time at Enigma 5PM-10PM (Friday & Saturday nights). I also have class midday Monday-Thursday and Tuesday nights. Other than that, I have all the time in the world for your furry friends! I will go above and beyond what is asked. It’s not only walking, feeding, and watching over your pet, but also making sure they’re apart of a schedule, comfortable, and happy while you’re away.

About: I’ve taken care of pets my whole life both cats and dogs. Know how to feed them and make sure they are alright in their environment. Pet care fits in easily I have taken care of pets my whole life especially dogs and cats. The idea of pet care is deeply instilled into me almost like religion. I can’t board animals here because of the animals already here but rest assured I can be trusted with your home and pet. I have watched over both houses and pets while friends and family were away.

“Brooke was fantastic! She walked both of my dogs and took great care of them. Everything went smoothly—she was punctual, friendly, and clearly loves animals. I felt completely at ease knowing they were in good hands. Highly recommend!”

About: I am a mental health therapist by trade. I love helping the people and the puppies! The love of my life, Olivia Mae, was my dog and best friend for 10 years. Since her passing 4 years ago, I have leaned into any chance to dog-sit for friends and family. I have recently taken the opportunity to go solo on therapy and my goal is to prioritize time spent caring for dogs. I'd love to opportunity to show your fur baby some love! I create my own schedule, so we can work together to best fit everyone's needs. As long as schedule is figured out a few days in advance, we should be all set. I have a yard and am just a few blocks from the river trails. Your puppy will get as much outside time as needed. In my home I am able to crate if desired, although I love just free playing if possible.

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have a genuine passion for them. I have experience in dogs of all sizes from Yorkie mixes to English mastiffs. Most of my experience is with older dogs but willing to work with puppies. I love taking the time to get to know each dog and their personalities. I am a teacher on summer break so my schedule is pretty flexible this time of year! Most of my availability is during the day for walking but can be available at night if needed. I am comfortable putting dogs in and out of crates and administering medication if needed. Not afraid to clean up messes when needed. Comfortable walking dogs. I have my own car so I can drive if needed at any time.
