About: A home away from home for your pet children. Think of it as "GrandMa & Paws Paws" Bed & Breakfast. I've been blessed to retire early after an extensive career in different areas, one being prior work experience in the pet industry. I had plenty of experience with veterinarian offices throughout NE Indiana. But, the favorite titles I wear proudly are mom and dog mom and wife to my husband. Throughout the years I've had my heart full of animals -dogs being my speciality and of all sizes, breeds and characteristics. I am dependable, reliable and honest. And I’m easy to communicate with. I have been blessed to retire early after an extensive career in different areas, one being prior work in the pet care industry with plenty of trainings with several veterinarian clinics throughout NE Indiana. Your pet kid will be monitored 24/7 inside my home and outside of my home. As I do this with my own pet children. Throughout the years I've had my heart full of animals - dogs being my speciality of all sizes and breeds. While, also having some of the best cats in the mix of my dogs I care for them with all my background knowledge I've learned over the years of caring for and loving my dog babies. My home is always nice and tidy and so is my backyard. I keep their environment very tidy. I have a fenced in yard. My two dogs are never unsupervised during rain, snow or heat. I guess you would call me a helicopter pet parent. I do have nice kennels with bedding.

I will also make sure that they dont feel homesick provinding them with a safe space. Last but not less important I will play with the dogs so they dont get bored or lonely. I enjoy all types of dogs but mostly a puppy or little dogs but can take care of bug dogs. I hope that you will feel okey with letting a family member eith me. I'm currently working part-time. I would have time to take care of the pups and give them lots of love. I'm also available during weekends. I think communication is key. I time to have schedule for them including feeding times and walk time. I also need list of allergies in case I make puppy treats.

About: Hi! My name is Jill and I am a HUGE dog girl, but have love for all things furry especially shy cats! I currently have 2 beautiful huskies, Kendra and Balto! I know the worry and fear that comes with having animals and making sure they get proper care and attention, worry no further! I’d love to give you a sense of relief and care for your babies whether that’s walking or a house visit. I can promise they will get lots of pets and lots of baby talk! I work a full time job, but I am able to visit before work, on my hour lunch, or when I am off work for the day. I also work a half day on Thursdays! I think the biggest thing in creating a good environment for pet care is always remembering that the pet is apart of the family in a very real way for the owner. I really do take pet sitting with the same seriousness and concern as babysitting.

“Ohndrea was very thorough and great with Ozzy. He was well cared for while we were gone. Ohndrea was easy to contact and communicate with. She was kind, thoughtful, and flexible. We will definitely ask her to help with Ozzy when we are out of town again.”


About: I have taken care and dog sat for people in my family for about 2 to 3 years and they are very energetic dogs. I am used to being very involved with the dogs I dog sit.

About: I am an avid animal lover and find joy in spending time with animals of all kinds, from cats and dogs to birds and farm animals! I am a vegetarian and love forming connections with pets and animals. My very first paycheck earned was after cat sitting for my neighbor at 10 years old. Since then I have worked over night as a house sitter/pet sitter, drop-in pet feeder, and have raised and litter box trained my own three cats since they were just a few weeks/months old. I am capable of walking dogs in all weather, playing with and interacting with animals, and cleaning up after the messes they can make. I utilize open communication with all pet families and owners. One thing that sets me apart from other sitters is that I have a very caring nature and have worked full time as a nanny for young children and babies since 2019. Transparent communication and love are my specialities! I am working part time during the week and would be available to provide services before 8:30 am and after 4:00 pm. I am typically pretty available on the weekends at any time as well. I am not able to provide pet care in my home for others. I am comfortable caring for your pet at your home and in your neighborhood. I have trusting references for my experience and professionalism.

I’ve always had a love for dogs and would love more but 3 is enough for my size of home on a daily basis. We have a big backyard! I do not have a fence our dogs are trained to stay within the property lines. I do have several sizes of collars and leashes for walks around the neighborhood or just in the yard. I also have several crates and dog beds if they are requested.

“Payton watched our two cats for us while on vacation for a little over a week. She spent more than the expected amount of time with them and sent us many lovely photos throughout our vacation. Our mechanical litter box had broke while we were gone and she problem-solved on how to clean the litter, even when we told her she didn’t have to. She read our multiple pages of instructions on how to care for the cats without any fuss and seemed to understand how important our cats are to us!”
