Cat Sitting Forest

“Hope was fantastic. I booked with her with less than 2 weeks before we needed her and she was so responsive and kind. I was nervous to leave our cat alone since we just lost our other cat. She hadn’t been alone in 11 years. Both days Hope sent pictures of our cat, but also our other farm animals that she wasn’t even watching. It helped me actually relax while we were gone knowing everyone had been checked on each morning.”

About: I’ve had dogs and other pets for as long as I can remember. When I was about 10, I became obsessed with reading about different dog breeds and their needs. My first job actually working with pets was a dog daycare. I loved building connections with the pups and their parents. At this job, I learned defensive handling skills (how to avoid or break up fights or attacks) and how to handle reactive, scared, and stubborn dogs. I work shorter hours on weekends so I’m able to make plenty of time for your baby, plus my wife is always home and will occasionally help care for your pet when I’m not around. I like to have group play or just time outside when it’s cool in the mornings and evenings. I have a fenced backyard that I check for holes daily and an open front yard (leashes at all times out front). I’m able to crate your dog at anytime they might need it and can even have them in a separate room if crates aren’t their thing. Another bonus is that my wife is home just about full time and is able to care for your pet when I’m not around. If I’m at your house, I will take your dog outside on a leash the first few times just to see how they are and to make sure they aren’t an escape artist once mom/dad is gone

About: I have been taking care of animals ever since I was about 9 years old! I had a hamster growing up and we had two family dogs growing up. I have experience taking care of other people's animals as well as taking care of family pets such as my sister's dog (beagle mix) and my parent's dogs (two Chesapeake bay retrievers and a rescue hound). I also have experience taking care of cats for family & friends! I also have experience helping take care of newborn puppies, as my stepdad breeds Chesapeake Bay Retrievers. I love animals and I am very passionate about taking care of them and have always had a special place in my heart for them. As of right now I work full time, from 8am-5pm I am available evenings after 5pm and I am available on weekends. I could also potentially be available on my lunch break depending on the location, as I get an hour lunch break daily from 11am-12pm. I unfortunately can't offer in-home services at this time. I will be sure to follow any instructions or guidelines you need met for your fur-baby. I am a respectful individual and I will be sure your pet has the best care!

“I used Rachel over a 2 day period to feed my little baby Benji boy. This was my first time and she knew I was nervous. She did drop ins to feed and play with him. She also sent me the cutest pics. Thanks Rachel. I’ll be using her again in a few weeks.”

“Quincy was fantastic. My senior cat has been having health issues and I was very worried about leaving her. Quincy was very knowledgeable though, and I felt sure I was leaving my cat in good hands. Throughout my trip I received photos, videos, and detailed updates. Quincy even left a written summary of the stay for when I got home. I couldn't have asked for more.”

About: I’m currently going to school to become an RVT! (Registered Veterinary Technician) As I am learning, I don’t have much time for an animal hospital job just yet. I would like to use these experiences for learning purposes and some extra money for schooling! I have pets at home that I take care of very well, and would like to provide as much care as possible for your pets too. Since I am still in college, my availability is 4pm to 10:30/11pm every week day. If needed on weekends, I can schedule something ahead of time no problem! Just no overnight stays. I will not take any animals to my personal home. I am able to visit your home and let them out, feed them, provide treats and toys, also walks! I love walking, but wont stray too far from their home. I can give baths, nail trims, administer at-home meds but am still in the learning process for more grooming capabilities. So far I have/have owned myself dogs/puppies, cats, bunnies, and guinea pigs!

“Ann Marie did a great job! We would use her again!”

About: I have worked with dog rescues since 2018, and have adopted 4 dogs and a cat of my own. I am wanting to help others in and around my community with their pets! My full time job is Monday through Thursday, and I have the capability to care for dogs prior to 9am, and after 8pm. I also can make a stop during the day at almost any requested time for a midday potty break. I will follow directions to ensure I meet the expectations of each individual client. I can exercise your dog whether you want your dog to be leash walked, or to have play time in a fenced yard. I will adhere to feeding schedules, and ensure proper amounts are given to each individual dog. I am also able to give oral and injectable medications as needed.

“I really appreciated Valerie’s time and attention to my 2 new fur babies. When we had a meet and greet my cats took to her right away. I felt comfortable and safe having her stop by my home and take care of my cat’s needs. I will definitely reach out to her again, and highly recommend. She has a warm and caring personality!”

About: I’ve been an animal lover as long as I can remember. I grew up with dogs, cats, birds, and fish as family pets. As I got older, I’ve had pets of my own and became the go-to person to petsit for friends and family. I also have some experience caring for farm animals. More recently, I traveled around the US in my converted camper van and used both Trusted Housesitters and Rover along the way. On these platforms, I maintained 5-star ratings and have established a few repeat clients. I’m comfortable caring for elderly pets and administering medication when needed. My current schedule is very flexible. I can easily drop in midday for a walk while you’re at work or spend large chunks of time with your pets during a stay! Unfortunately I cannot host pets in my home at this time. In your house, I’ll follow your instructions for pet care as closely as possible to ensure they feel comfortable and have minimal change in routine.

About: My name is Josh Clemens and I am a dog person. I have had animals my entire life, and I personally trained my own service dog. I truly believe animals are better than people and I love spending time with them. For me time with your pet isn’t a chore, it’s an opportunity to make a friend! I know each pet is different and I work hard to meet each client’s specific needs. I love animals and if you choose to work with me, I believe you’ll see, they love me too! I only care for pets in client’s homes, not my own home. I specialize in custom in home service. I want your pet to feel like nothing has changed. I care for all the animals I work with as if they were my own, and I’m willing to do whatever is necessary to make my customers happy. Every first visit comes with a free toy! I work part time remotely so my schedule can be changed and worked around so no change in your pets’ schedules will be needed. For them it will be as if nothing has changed. I care for pets in my clients homes not my own home. I will come to your house and stay there essentially 24/7 to make sure your pets have optimal care.

“Thank you Yulia for your helpful with Monty!! We’re so grateful for your calming and sweet energy”

About: I love animals and I’ve been around them most of my life! I have a dog of my own that I’ve had for 11 years, so I’m very familiar with their behaviors and how to take care of them! Pet care fits into my daily routine as I am currently studying Wildlife Biology and minoring in Aquatic Science at Purdue University. I believe this will be the perfect opportunity to get me started in my animal career! I live in town so it’s perfect to take your dog on a walk whenever they need to go outside! I do have a crate if needed and I have a small dog of my own that I’m sure your dog would love the company. Also, I’m willing to take care of your pet at your home so whatever routines you have to take care of your pet I will follow! I love taking pictures of my pets, so I can definitely take some of your animals too.

About: Young professional who loves to spend time with dogs in my free time. My free time is usually spent at home watching movies and just relaxing. What better way to spend my free time than with man's best friend at home as well. New to the area so I enjoy the company of dogs. Growing up in rural Indiana I was always around dogs whether our own or neighbors. Enjoy getting out and taking walks in new areas to explore. Have lots of free time when not working and would love to spend my time getting to hang out with new furry friends. Dog walking is another way of exercise for myself for myself when I am not spending time at the local gym. A
