“Krissy always does such a great job!! When we are out of town, we feel so comfortable because we know how reliable she is and Grayson loves seeing her. We also love all the pics we get!!”


About: I've had dogs since I was born and throughout my entire life. I've had puppies, senior dogs, and all big dogs! I've been sitting for neighbors and friends for years, too. I love to play inside or outside. My specialty is cuddling the love bugs. I'm currently working a very flexible part time job and I have a reliable vehicle, so pet care fits very easily into my day! I keep a close eye on all the pets (mostly because I'm trying to get them to hang out with me). I set reminders and have notes to keep on top of things and never forget a step! I am very attentive to my surroundings when I am sitting so I can keep the love bugs safe and comfortable.
“Once again Nicole was so wonderful. This is our 2nd time we have used Nicole. We were gone for longer time than usual and I felt so reassured that Nicole was there every day for our kitties. She provided regular updates and pictures. It means a lot to see that our kitties were doing well. I would definitely book with her again in the future.”

About: I am not a professional but sometimes I believe that’s okay. I’ve had dogs since I can remember. I’ve always had such a big heart when it comes to animals. I worked at a shelter while I was in high school and the hardest for me was not bringin them all to my house. I have two dogs of my own. They’re both older girls and very very laid back and friendly. I think every dog has personality of their own and that’s what is beautiful about dogs. I think taking care of dogs is more than a chore or a job, i think it’s more of passion. In my opinion you have to love dogs to be able to take care of them the way they need. I hope I can be what you’re looking for.

“Autumn was great with Cash! She did a quick meet and greet to meet him as well as learn where things were located and his habits. She spent much needed time with him and helped make Cash a new friend!”

“Gabriel did a fantastic job with communication, photos, and videos. He came right as expected and went above and beyond on the job. He is truly a wonderful pet sitter that anyone can trust!”

“Catherine was great!! She is communicative and reliable. She was very flexible with coordinating drop-in visits for our two dogs. Will rebook with Catherine next time!”

“Absolutely perfect visit with Kari! She was very descriptive in her activities with our pup and we didn’t have to worry about a thing. Would definitely recommend and will be using them again!”

About: I have been a regular pet sitter for friends, family, and coworkers since I was a teenager. I have experience with large or small dogs, elderly dogs, cats, and pets that need medication or other accommodations. I have experience with dog-sitting for up to two weeks at a time. This has sometimes included, but is not limited to, administering medication, cleaning up messes inside and outside, walking, feeding, and bathing. Ensuring the safety, health, and happiness of each pet I take care of is my top priority and it is one of my favorite things to do in the world! I do not have the same schedule weekly, so I will constantly update my availability. I only know my availability up to 3 weeks in advance. Unless I have to work very early the next day, I am available for overnights at least 3 days a week (typically). I am unable to have pets at my house because I live with a family member’s dog that does not do well with other animals. Please give me any and all instructions! I will make sure to follow any routine that I can for your pet to be comfortable. I will provide as many updates/photos as requested.
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life. I have knowledge with working dogs, police, dogs, rescue dogs, all of the above. I have a retired police dog and a rescue pup along with three cats. I’m familiar with young dogs, senior dogs dogs that need medication, all that fun stuff. I’m very passionate about helping and taking care of animals and I thoroughly enjoy meeting all different types of animals and getting to know their personalities. I just graduated high school so I am free every day. I’m willing to do overnight days, weekly stays drop in visits. My schedule is always very flexible. We don’t have a fence so one dog goes outside on a leash and the other dog has recall so he doesn’t need a leash. In clients homes I always follow the checklist or rules that are sent to me. I don’t wanna risk anything bad happening. I feed on schedule, give meds when needed, provide multiple potty breaks, and always make time for playtime.
About: Hi there! My name is Kayla, and I am in Lawrence, Indiana. I have 1 Australian shepherd named Moose. I am currently offering dog walks, and in home dog/ cat checks. A little about my background: I have worked with a few different rescues, I have fostered dozens of animals. One of them being a burn victim that needed 2 oral medications daily, another being a new amputee, along with tube feeding, etc etc. I find the most stressful part of planning trips, is finding someone you can trust with your pets and knowing they will be safe and getting regular updates. I would love to be that person for you. I currently work Monday - Friday 6:00-2:30 in Lawrence. I am free for pet care any time aside from those specific hours. If I am not at work, I am at home! I will do exactly as the owner needs. If the pet is used to certain routines, that is no problem. I add cat box cleaning free for 2+ days consecutive of drop ins.
“Grace was so great with both my doggies! Especially with my senior dog ❤️ keeping me updated on her stools, providing bland food for her upset stomach, along with treats for both dogs and letting me know about any changes! It was super appreciated and we will most definitely be booking her again in the future!”


“Lucy is the BEST of the BEST!! This was our first time having pet sitting for our cat and with negative boarding experiences in the past, we were so nervous at how she would do with being left at home but Lucy did an INCREDIBLE job with Jinx! She has been so comfortable being in her own space and I can see how happy she was when Lucy came to check on her and play with her. She set up a meet and greet before booking to make sure everyone was comfortable and sent some adorable photos with every check in visit which gave us so much peace of mind while out of the country! Lucy is the sweetest and truly, truly treats your pet(s) like her own pack and I absolutely cannot recommend her enough. Thank you, Lucy!!”

“Natalie was amazing with our cat!! She followed the directions perfectly, was a great communicator, and went above and beyond with the check in notes and pictures. We will definitely use her again!”

About: I have had cats all my life and have been the proud owner of a mini Aussie dog for almost 1.5 years. I have always had a passion for animals and actually have a degree in Animal Health and Behavior. I had dreams of being a zookeeper but unfortunately had to postpone those due to personal reasons. However, my heart is still in taking care of animals/pets, and I'd love to help you with yours! I am currently unemployed and my husband works a 7-5 Mon-Fri job. Therefore I'm available to pet sit or do walks on the weekdays! Late morning-afternoon preferred. If needed, I can provide house sitting on weekends. I can drive to your house and walk your dog around the neighborhood. I have my own dog as well, and could even have them play at our apartment complex (lots of outdoor space). Because of my skittish cat, it would be difficult to bring your dogs inside my apartment, but can do so if necessary.
