Super helpful and engaging!! I love how kind and communicative she is! And my dog loves her. Oreo is a bit crazy sometimes and Megan has the patience and knowledge to redirect her.

About: Hello, I'm Katie! I helped my mom run a cat rescue for over 8 years (that includes waking up every 2 hours to bottle feed, giving medication, handling moody kitties, cleaning up constant messes, etc). Since then, I've been trusted to pet sit for friends, coworkers, and family members. I have more experience house sitting with cats than dogs, but I love all pets equally and would be so happy to meet them! I offer overnight stays/house sitting, drop-ins, and dog walking. I am currently pet sitting full time. I am available on weekdays and weekends however early or late as needed, and for as many drop-ins as needed. My schedule is very flexible! The care and safety of your pet is the most important thing to me. I make sure to keep human food out of reach along with plastic bags, cords, or other potentially harmful items. I always try to keep pets entertained, happy, and out of trouble. I am a very clean person and will never leave a mess behind, I can assure your home will be well looked after. I can provide photo or text updates as often as needed!

About: I have owned a dog my entire life. I have lived with four, including our old foster dog. I am a kitten foster with Humane Indiana since 2020. Since then, I have fostered over 30 kittens. I am used to the hard work that comes with taking care of animals, and more than happy to do so. I am currently a full time college student so will have time to take care of your pet before, after, and in between my classes. My weekends are pretty free. I have a fenced in backyard along with one dog (king charles spaniel). He is very friendly but can stay separate if need be. I have four cats that are used to other animals with my fostering experience. They will stay away from dogs or can be in the basement.

About: Hello! My services offer walks and drop in visits. I’ve absolutely adored animals since I was little and have grown up with cats and dogs. I’ve been taking care of my own pets as well as strays and fosters for years. My work experience includes managing kennels at a vet, watching large groups of dogs at Beach for Dogs, and I was a bather at Petsmart. When your pet is in my care I can promise you they will be safe, happy and comfortable as can be every time. I’ll love them like my own! I am self-employed. I am able to work my Rover appointments into my schedule without any issues or potential of inconveniencing my clients in any way. I have a calm and nurturing energy when dealing with dogs to make them comfortable. It’s important to give them the opportunity to get their energy out so you can come home to a tired, relaxed dog!

About: I enjoy spending time caring for animals, especially dogs. I love going on walks, playing, and making sure pets feel happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away! I’m currently a college student at Indiana University Northwest, and with summer here I have a much more flexible schedule. While I do work a part time job, I’m still able to make multiple visits throughout the day to give your pup plenty of attention, care, walks, and playtime! I provide a safe and caring environment whether your dog stays in my home or I care for them in yours. I have a fenced yard for safe outdoor time, and dogs will always be leashed on walks. I’ll make sure your pup stays on their routine with fresh food and water, regular potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and plenty of attention!

About: I have had all kinds of pets growing up. I currently have three dogs of my own. Two girls and one boy. I also have worked at a pet store for the past 2 years providing pet care to 40+ puppies on a daily basis. Each of them are loved and cared for as if they were my own and I’ll be sure to do the same for yours! ❤️🐾 Because I work full time I only have two-3 days available for my provided services. Those days are usually Tuesdays and Fridays each week :) My pets free roam the house but I have a doggy gate blocking the steps or any “unsafe” areas. I also have pet cameras placed in the main parts of my home. And bedroom doors are always closed for their safety 💖

My schedule for this summer is completely open as of now, so my availability is wide open!

About: I have run my own business Holliewood Doo Doo Adventures for 10 years (here in Facebook..check me out). Started out as waste pick up and branched out from there as I got older and it provided flexibility with schedules Also myself and my family have worked with ABRA, Inc Rescue to help foster 3 Dogs to help give them love and Discipline and skills to be able to be adopted out. I enjoy providing the Love, Patience, Time needed for each animal as every personality and needs are different. Also, knowing that they are a part of our families and to help soothe them in the transition as well as fur parents when they need to leave Currently I am a College student and this fits into my schedule well and I have flexibility and that's why I love it. I am now off for the Summer and even though I go back in the fall I work around my online classes. I have 2 dogs of our own and a cat. Realizing they have individual needs and they love the safe space of their own home it is important to me to provide that care that you specifically may need for them. You know this and I have so many that suffer from Anxiety or Seniors that do better in their own homes. That is what I am here for...whether they require so many walks per day or snuggles or play time

About: I've owned two dogs in the past, a lab and a beagle. Both have gone over the rainbow bridge in the past two years. I treat every dog like family. I’m patient with energetic puppies who need consistency and routines, and gentle with senior dogs who need extra care and a slower pace. I pay close attention to each dog’s individual needs, whether that’s exercise, medication schedules, or lots of cuddles. You can count on clear communication, reliability, and plenty of photo updates so you always know your pet is happy and safe. I have a fenced in yard so your dog/dogs can run freely. You will feel comfortable leaving your dogs with me while you enjoy your time away! I currently work PRN and can decide when I want to work. I have pretty open availability during the week evenings. My weekends are usually always free. Animals are taken care of with the same love and care as my children. I have missed having a furry friend and want to pour my love into a temporary furry friend.
