About: I've been pet sitting in my home for 8 years for friends and people at my church, since my cocker spaniel died. Love dogs but as retiree on fixed income feel I can no longer afford my own. I'd love to spoil yours. Fenced back yard, 4 steps-approximately 30/31 inches up to back door. Most of the time they are here they'll be on my lap if they want (let's hope), I generally ask every hour or two if they want to go out. I have a patio and always go out with them in the summer, winter I usually stand on the back steps and wait. If I go out , depending on the dog, they will either have full reign of the house or I will block them in the kitchen and enclosed back porch/laundry area which is vinyl with rugs. Clients may bring crates if their dogs are more comfortable but they will have run of the house when they want. I can't walk the dogs but will make sure they go out often and play with them inside. Will consider case by case staying with your pet in your home. If your female dog is not spayed please don't ask me to keep them. I no longer work at all so am home most of the time when I have a pet. If your pet likes to ride in a car then we will go out some. I have a fenced in yard and keep a padlock on the gate. I live on a busy street and am extremely careful with the front door. I'm now completely retired and normally only leave to pick up food or for doctor appointments, etc. If the pet likes to ride in the car, I will take them with me to a drive through. I have a fenced in yard and keep a padlock on my gate. I never leave a dog outside alone and will stay as long as they want in summer, I'm in charge of timing in winter. :)

11. Amy W.
About: I am organized, clean, and trust worthy. I love all types of pets! I love dogs but do not have any. I have 2 cats of my own. I have experience with training pets at home. My dream job would be training a service or therapy animal. I have volunteered at the Indianapolis humane society I mostly worked with small dogs, young and old. I am a night owl so I can let dogs out in the middle of the night. I am fit and like to take walks! I love outdoors and adventures. I know the bonds that people create with their pets, they are our children! I am young and looking to spend time with amazing animals. I have a very flexible job that I only work 3 days a week. I am in the medical field and know how important our pets health is. Pets need a lot of attention and love that I’m willing to give. Young or old pets love to play or sometimes cuddle cuddle I’m willing to do both. I love throwing a ball, tugging on a rope or running around outside.


12. Carly P.
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was little but more specifically this year when I house sat with two dogs and a cat! I have had a golden retriever and a beagle throughout my childhood. I also dog sat a blue heeler. I love taking care of dogs and I would love to take care of yours! I am completely free for the next month before I head back to college in the middle of August, but I also come home on the weekends. Pets in my home go in my fenced in yard. Pets at clients home will go out on a leash with me or in a fenced in yard as well!


13. Alivia F.
About: I love taking care of furry friends! Family and friends have relied of me to pop in and take their fur babies on walks, get than all clean, and make sure they get their tummies full. Not only do I take care of pets but also people! I am a certified PCT! I love taking care of furry friends in my free time! Request your time and I will let you know if I am available to watch your fur baby! I unfortunately do not have space in my own home but will gladly care for your lovely fur babies in an outside environment or your own home :)


14. Lauren C.
“Lauren has taken care of our 2 cats and dog several times when we were out of town, gone for the day, and has even stopped in when we weren’t going to be home as early as we thought. Abbie G”


15. Aviana A.
“I've worked with Aviana for just shy of two years now and known her personally for even longer, and she's been exceptionally professional and competent since day one. She is reliable and a hard worker, always showing up for work early and ready. She has shown on multiple occasions that she works hard at whatever she puts her mind to and she consistently excels. It's also easy to see that she hasn't let her *many* accomplishments go to her head. She's down to earth, extremely easy to get along (and work) with, always has a good energy. I would 100% recommend her in a heartbeat.”


16. Steven L.
“We can highly recommend Steve L. We call our dog, Josie, our "pandemic pup." She came to us just a couple of days before we were locked down due to the pandemic. She was with us constantly. As a consequence though she loves people she gets anxious when separated from us. Steve was extremely kind with her and helped her enjoy herself even though we weren't with her on their walk. We know we can trust Steve with our dog and we're sure you can trust him with yours. John M.”

20. Alyssa M.
About: I’ve always been the biggest animal lover, and am currently raising 2 of my own. They are easily the best part of every day! I’ve raised puppies, have been a pet sitter, or even just swing by houses to let their dogs outside for a bit! I quickly learned that my fav part of working from home was spending time with my dogs! I figured I could spend it with others! I am the biggest helicopter mom when it comes to my dogs. I am always watching them like a hawk! E-collars so they can roam our 2 acres, crates, safe toys, and lots of outside exercise time!
