“Zoë is very sweet & knowledgeable when it comes to doggies! She took such great care of my little golden and kept me informed throughout the day each day on how she was doing with messages and photos. I would highly recommend Zoë for any/all of your doggie needs! :)”
“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!”
About: Dogs have been a huge part of my life since I was a child. I know how special and precious they are to their owners. Every dog I look after is treated as if they were my own! I currently work Monday through Thursday each week. I can still board dogs that are house trained and can wait 8 hours for a potty break on those days. Weekends are all freed up for nothing but fun and playtime. I have a fenced in yard with a small koi pond. The pups love watching the fish and chasing the frogs. The yard is wide open with lots of room to run and play. My house is very dog friendly, clean, and safe. I do have a 3 year old boxer female who is spayed. She is extremely dog friendly and sweet. I provide all dog bowls, treats, and lots of toys to play with.
“Such a positive experience! I received regular photos and updates about my pup while Ernie was caring for her. She was treated like one of the family. I would definitely recommend Ernie, and will happily leave my puppy with him again in the future.”
“If I could give 100 stars, I would! Celsei is one of the kindest and most through people I have had the pleasure of conducting business with. Celsei made sure to send pictures of my pup throughout the day. She even went the extra mile by taking my pup to the dog park to have some fun. I look forward to using Celsei’s services in the near future. Thank you again Celsei; Keep shining bright!”
“What a wonderful experience! Mary Jane and her partner were responsive, kind, accommodating, and took incredible care of our dog. Communication was excellent and we received daily updates and pictures. Our dog was clearly happy, comfortable and worn out from their loving care. They will be our first choice every time!”
“The best care in the whole world. Kimberly was amazing and it warmed my heart to know Nisa was loved and cared for. Thank you so much for your generosity and compassion!”
“Jenny and Freddie took care of our dog George while we were away for a week. When we came to pick him up, George didn't want to leave! They have a huge fenced yard, asked for instructions when we came over, and sent pictures every day. I hope they had a good experience with us because we definitely hope to use them again. George tends to be shy but he REALLY bonded with Jenny. You can tell they really care.”
About: Hi! I would love to get to know your pets and give them all of the cuddles <3 I have experience cat and dog sitting for family and friends. I have grown up with dogs my whole life! My family dogs have a special place in my heart <3 They are between the ages of 8yrs and 10yrs. So, I've gotten transitional experience into taking care of senior dogs. The littlest of the two was diagnosed as a diabetic 3 years ago. So, I am well versed in administering under-the-skin injections and oral medications. Currently, I only have one cat living with me. She is a domestic medium-hair, and just over a year old. Even though I adopted her last May, she still has so much kitten energy and keeps me on my toes. As a graduated senior, I am quickly approaching an open-schedule. I work with the university, but my shifts are incredibly flexible. Additionally, I make it a point to not work the weekends, so I have 100% availability. I have the pleasure to have a fenced in backyard in a quiet, residential neighborhood. Your pets will have quick access for potty breaks and outside play time. The B-line trail is also just behind our house, so we can plan for plenty of walks while in my care. My cat, Mali, is a fully indoor cat and on Revolution Plus. As of June 2025, she is up-to-date on all of her vaccinations.
“Gage was an incredible dog sitter! He was proactive, making sure our dog had everything she needed and stayed happy and comfortable. I really appreciated the regular updates with pictures and videos—it gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I couldn’t recommend him more!”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for Cooper. Thomas has a love for pets, and treated mine like his own. He arranged a meet and greet, which put me and my dog at ease. I had never left him with anyone before, and seriously considered not making my trip because I was nervous about leaving my dog with someone I didn’t know. After meeting Thomas, I was no longer worried, because it was obvious to me that my dog would get love and good care. Cooper had a blast there, especially with Thomas’ dog, Maple, and felt right at home from the get-go. I’m sure he misses them, and would love to meet up with them again some day!”
“Lucinda takes great care of my Rosie, picks her up, she always keeps her clean and she smells great, but most importsnt, she understand her needs. I'm forever grateful to have found her.”
“Sabrina is amazing! She took care of my dog just as he was her own dog/family! She made sure to send me many photos during his stay. She happily gave him his medication twice daily! I’m glad I found someone I trust to watch my dog the next time i need to leave town! I recommend having Sabrina watch your pet!”
About: Old owner of Hippie Hounds Grooming in Mitchell IN. I’ve worked for the White River Humane Society and other groomers in the past. Still willing to groom! I currently have a job, but looking to get back into animal care! I would like to do animal care full time during the week! I just bought and moved into a new house and I’m saving to get a fence put up, so we go out on leashes! I have a fur baby who loves friends and is great at keeping company!
“David and Melissa did a terrific job watching my pup and thoroughly updated me with pictures. Their dog is super cool and got along well with mine. I appreciate their thoughtfulness and attentiveness.”

Nora R.
“I highly recommend Nora as a dog sitter! She has taken care of my dog, Copper, on two separate occasions, and both times she went above and beyond. Copper absolutely adores her, and it’s clear that she has a natural way with animals. Nora is reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring—she made sure Copper was not only well-fed and exercised but also loved and comforted while I was away. It gave me real peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. I wouldn’t hesitate to ask her again in the future!”

Katherine F.
“Katie is truly amazing with animals! She’s incredibly loving and gentle with our 14-month-old kitty cat, Mali — always cuddling with her, playing, and making sure she feels safe and adored. Katie has two dogs back home, Gracie and Luna, who absolutely adore her, and she treats them like her babies. She’s constantly feeding and petting the neighborhood cats, and she lights up every time she sees an animal. Her phone is filled with thousands of photos of her furry friends — each one loved like family. Katie is kind, reliable, and has a natural, heartfelt connection with animals. You can trust her completely to care for your pets as if they were her own.”
