“Lauren is amazing! She responded quickly when I first reached out and made time for a meet and greet, which immediately put me and my pup at ease. When she takes my dog for a walk. she always shares thoughtful updates and the cutest photos. It’s clear she truly loves animals and goes above and beyond to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved. My dog adores her, and I felt so comfortable knowing he was in such great hands. I’ll definitely continue using Lauren as my dog walker—she’s the best!”


About: I have always had a pet, dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and rats. I love animals and realize the difficulty in leaving your animal babies with someone you trust while you are gone. I take that responsibility very seriously. I recently retired and would like to include in my day, caring for animals whose owners need help when they are gone from the home. I have a fenced yard, and an easy going home environment. I also have two older dogs, 4 indoor kitties, with a total of six cats. They are all pretty laid back.

“Very polite and professional, will definitely be a returning client for Kari! She walked my chocolate lab named Hiccup even though it started to rain. Thank you so much!”

When taking care of animals in other people's homes, I would prioritize their comfort and well-being by following specific instructions provided by the pet owner. I would ensure they have access to fresh water, appropriate food, and a clean living environment. Engaging in regular playtime and exercise would help keep them happy and active, while also providing companionship. I would also monitor their health and behavior closely, watching for any signs of distress or illness, and maintain open communication with the pet owner to keep them updated on their furry friends.

I also love sending lots of photo updates, so you can feel connected with your pet while you're away. Feel free to text me anytime — I’m quick to respond and happy to chat about your pet’s needs! You can trust me to care for your pets like my own. I’ll always ask questions to make sure I understand your pet’s needs and routines. My goal is to be the right fit so your pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away.

About: I'm Kort! I'm a full-time pet sitter & dog trainer in Indianapolis and I have been around dogs & cats my entire life! I have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities- including pups with anxiety and behavioral issues. I love to play with dogs doing the things that they love, whether that be cuddling, running, or playing with their toys. I always treat my clients pets as I treat my own, and make sure they're as comfortable and happy as possible, whether I'm in their home, or they're in mine. I have 2 cats and 3 dogs who are happy to play with your pups, but I am also able to keep client dogs separate from my pets if needed- safety is my top priority! I'm excited to meet you and your best furry friends!! I create my own schedule, so I can be home or with your dogs whenever they need some extra attention! Whenever I have dogs I'm looking after they are my first priority and I make sure they get the best care possible! I have a large fenced-in yard, and plenty of inside space for pups to run around and play, as well as friendly dogs for you pup to play with if they want (and if they don't, that's fine too)! I have experience with high behavioral cases and can easily crate or muzzle your dog if needed.

I can also travel to your home if that is preferred.


About: I’m a loving person. I had two dogs myself (1 I adopted) it’s a lot of hard work but I wouldn’t trade it in for the world. I promise to take care of anyone’s dog as if it was a child which is what dogs are to families children not just animals. They’re the best non humans you could ask for! Sometimes all dogs need are love and attention and we are not always there to give it to them, kind of like humans. I always try to play with mine even if I’m busy from school work just to show him he’s not forgotten. Plain and simple, dogs are family and they should be treated as such and that’s the type of care you would get from me. I would treat them like I would a family member of mine with love respect and honesty.

“After reading and searching through many profiles in the hope finding the right individual, I was very fortunate to stumble into Rafaels profile. After contacting and explaining to Rafael my situation that I just rescued a Pitbull and that I need help looking after him until I find his home, he took great interest and was immediately available for a one-on-one meet. I could sense that Rafael and this sweet Pittie (Eddie) instantly connected, the moment they had met. Watching Rafael interacting with Eddie, I immediately could tell that he is a very experienced and respectful person, who cares deeply about the needs of animals. Rafael took on the mission walking and spending time with Eddie every day for 30 minutes, which turned out a huge success. Every day, while I am at work, I get a message from Rafael, informing me when Eddie gets picked up for his walk and when he gets dropped off back home. He also sends me a little report card showing me what they did along their walk with a few pictures. Rafael is also open with texting him for anything and everything and he always replies. It’s been three weeks or longer since Rafael has been caring for Eddie now and I could not be happier. Even though I do a lot with Eddie in terms of entertaining and training, but being away at work for long hours, it is totally calming to know that Eddie is in safe hands with Rafael. What is also extremely great and important to know, is that Rafael has a backup person, in case he is already too booked for one day and sends his replacement named Darius, who is just as kind, caring and professional as Rafael. Both, Rafael and Darius are always on time and very communicative, which is such an important factor. And most important.... Eddie loves both of them! It is really wonderful to watch that sweet pup jump, skip and wiggle for joy, when either one of those two come to be with him. All in all, I am very grateful and happy with Rafael and Darius and would recommend both for caring for your Dog, if you ever were in need of a really wonderful, trustworthy and caring Dog-walker or sitter.”


About: Take time away for yourself, knowing that your home and pups are safe and cared for. I adore dogs and they are drawn to my calm and nurturing demeanor. I have cared for my own dogs and the dogs of others for 30 years. I am a mature female empty-nester who works weekdays on the north side, and then offering pet/home care to save some extra money for travels of my own. Send me a request for a meet and greet - I’ll come to you so I can meet your fur babies! Thanks for reading! Available for overnights or drop in service, your preference. I work on the north side of Indianapolis and I have a flexible schedule for walks and outdoor time throughout the day. Weekends are typically free also. I will treat your home with kindness, keeping it tidy and mess-free while you’re away. I am not scared of pet messes, I will clean them up promptly! I am also comfortable administering medications and accommodating special diets and needs.

About: Over the past year, I’ve enjoyed pet sitting for close friends and neighbors several times. The pets and I have gotten along so well, I decided it was something I wanted to do more often.

I’m currently a stay-at-home mom with daily availability to help care for your pets. I am a natural born helper with a newfound love of pet sitting. I would love to have a dog or cat, but others in my household have allergies. Getting to care for your pet is not only a job, but a joy.
