“Lydia was an awesome sitter!! She helped me watch my 2 dobermans on a last minute notice! I chose her because she said had experience with many breeds of dogs of all ages.

Sensing me pictures and videos each and every day assuring me they were in good hands! Lydia was an awesome sitter that I would definetly ask to come watch my dogs again in the future and would recommend her to anyone else as well! Awesome person, thank you lydia!! 😊”


“Trinity was on time, communicated well, and took very good care of our babies. You could not even tell that she stayed in our home overnight. We will definitely be using Trinity for our pet sitting needs in the future.”


“Hannah was reliable, caring, and kept me updated throughout the visits. My dog was happy and well cared for — I’ll definitely be booking again!”


“Melanie is a true animal lover, kind, and caring person. I felt very safe and secure going away for a few days and having her take care of my dogs and home. She was aware and asked questions that helped me know my dogs were in great hands. So glad to have found Melanie and look forward to having her watch my dogs again in the future!”


“I’m delighted that Danni was my dog sitter for my 3 dogs. I was in the hospital overnight and she went out of her way to reassure me I could focus on my surgery and she cared for my dogs. She was reliable and responsible in every way. Many photos were sent to me. They had a great time and really loved her. She went above and beyond to make sure I was settled in when I got home. She’s a lovely person and I’d hire her again in a heartbeat! 💗”


About: I have had dogs and cats of my own since I was 8 years old and love all animals. For the past few years, I have been helping care for the pets of family and friends when they need me. I love going on walks with them and playing with them. I currently work 3 12 hour shifts at and indianapolis hospital and would love to spend my free time around animals. I am scheduling pet care around my hospital schedule so you and I don’t have to worry while I’m at work. I am a very loving care giver and will spend as much time as possible playing with your pets. I love taking dogs on walks or throwing a ball in the back yard or even just snuggling on the couch.

“Alison was a life saver! I called her on short notice and she was able to help me with Toby who is very shy. She sent me pictures and comments on how Toby was doing while I was away overnight. I would definitely have Alison sit for my Toby again!”


“Cooper had a great time staying with Rick. He was so well cared for…. And loved! They treated Cooper like he was their own. Rick sent me daily pictures of Cooper and what he was doing. I really appreciated that. It couldn’t have worked out better finding Rick. It was a great experience, I highly recommend Rick. Thanks again Rick!”


“I am so glad we found Brooke! She was such a great friend to our pups and took such great care of them. She kept us updated every day and left our home the way we left it for her. We are so thankful for her!”


“Heather was very communicative throughout the weekend, and did a great job with house sitting and taking care of two dogs after very short notice from us. She also left the house clean and left us a small gift, which was very nice.”


“Christina was wonderful to our pets while we were away on vacation. She shared photos and general updates that all was well. Christina was responsive when I reached out too. Overall, the house and animals were well loved while we were away. Thank you, Christina!”


“Emily was fantastic! From the first point of contact, she was professional, kind, and very responsive. We had a great meet and greet prior to her stay at our home and she brought such a calm and comfortable energy around our doggos. We appreciated how communicative she was while we were away for the long weekend, taking great care of our pups and house and sending plenty of updates along the way. We would highly recommend Emily to anyone looking for an experienced, professional sitter. We will certainly look to book her again in the future!”


“Alivia is amazing! She is super kind, and was so great to my kitties! She genuinely loves caring for animals and I felt so at ease being gone knowing she was caring for them!”


About: Growing up, there was never a time when there wasn’t a dog in the house, and I have been a cat mom for going on five years, so I am very understanding of the care that comes with each animal. Additionally, I have experience with puppies/kittens all the way to senior pets and know that each require personalized care (and I have no problem giving it). As an added bonus, I live with my partner, who also is a dog dad and everyday he gives his dog daily vitamins to stay happy and healthy. Plus he used to work at a wild life rehabilitation center, so he is very familiar with how to care for all animals, regardless of species, age or health. I work a hybrid schedule and currently have every other Friday off so I have plenty of time to care for your best friend. My work also allows employees to bring their dogs to work, if it’s something you’re comfortable with, I would love to show off your doggo! I am available for drop off/pickup anytime on weekends and after 5pm on weekdays. Plus my partner is a graduate student, so he comes home throughout the day to care for his own dog. I have a fenced in yard, so there are no worries when it comes to potty or play. Plus, I live with a very playful dog who can’t wait to spend time with your doggo! I also have a cat who is very tolerant of dogs (she probably won’t play, but doesn’t mind their presence). She is also very comfortable around other cats, she’s a tad shy so another playmate will probably do her some good!

“Abigail was wonderful with our puppy! She also left our home spotless. We will definitely hire her again if available.”


About: Hi I'm Alyssa an animal lover with one of my passions caring for animals, growing up we always had cats and a dog around and when I was younger I would volunteer at an animal shelter to take care of the animals like feeding and cleaning I always like to spend time with animals especially cats while I'm new to pet sitting I'm confident that I can take care of your animals as well as my own. I currently am not in school or collage so I have plenty of time to take care of your animals can work weekend if needed. For drop-ins I will make sure your pet gets attention, playtime, and basic needs like feeding freshwater potty breaks. I will also follow instructions you leave like medications, litter box, cleaning, or bringing in mail if needed. For house sitting I stay overnight as requested giving your pet round the clock care and attention. I keep up with feeding schedules, walks, and maintaining routines so they stay calm and happy while you're away.

About: I have had a dog of myself for 10+ years, and he has definitely helped me learn a lot! I’m able to easily form great relationships with any dog I have met (so far), and absolutely adore being around them and caring for them. Thanks to my experience as a dog owner, I know all there is to know of the basics of caring for dogs of all ages. I am currently working on finding another job, but my current one has me working 12-6 at least 3 days a week until July 30th. I plan on finding a job I can do remotely, making it easier for me to be with your pet as long as possible. Since I don’t offer boarding in my own home, I will travel to yours to care for your pet. When housesitting, I tend to hang out in the area where your pet is in the most to keep an eye on them if they need anything, and to keep them company while I’m around (if I can, I also like being on the floor so if they want to come and say hi or get some pets I’m right within their reach)! Also, I may be unfamiliar with the neighborhood, but that won’t discourage me from taking your furry friend on walks if they’re able!

“Sydney was great with diesel and Bentley and Harley and Willow I will definitely use Sydney again she is great with animals”


About: I’m a registered veterinary technician (animal nurse) and I have about 10 years of experience. I’ve been an RVT for about 4 years now so I know what it takes to make sure your pet is well cared for while you’re away. I’ve pet sat for friends and family before; working with dogs, cats, to even reptiles and other small mammals. I look forward to working with you! I care for my own pets and I work full time at a vet clinic. I’m off every other weekend and thursdays. More often than not am I working with animals! Typically, when I’ve pet sat, I’ve stayed in people’s houses and work with what is available in the home. I’m flexible when it comes to environment and work place.

About: Hey there! I have pet sitting experience with dogs and cats for about the last 4 years. I can do very short notice as I do online school. Let me know how I can help!! I currently do online school, I am in the National Guard, and have a nannying job that allows me to leave during the day for potty breaks! I prefer to stay overnight at your home so I can take care of you pets best! I am okay with feeds, potty breaks, and cleaning up in any way. I can also do medication if you show me how!
