“Eli is fantastic! I cannot say enough positive things about our experience! Our cat, Babs, was well taken care of, fed, and even got to play while we were away for the weekend! I absolutely loved the check in reports Eli made! My husband and I were smiling all weekend reading them and for the first time I can remember, I wasn't laying awake in bed worrying about if Babs had enough food and water or was getting into trouble while we were away. I would recommend Eli to anyone who has pets and wants them to feel cared for while they are away and I will definitely be contacting Eli again for check ins when my husband and I go on another trip!”


“Cassidy is a very caring dog sitter and my dog loves her ❤️ She is very thorough and communication is the best! She was very flexible and helped me out in a pinch which I am extremely grateful. Thank you!”


“Taryn did an amazing job with Dipper. She made sure he did his business outside and calmed him down. Dipper is not used to new people, but she got him to warm up to her very easily. If I need someone to watch him again I would definitely hire her.-”


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.
