“Kingsley had so much fun and slept for a very long time once she got home! Shelby was amazing with her, had great communication, and provided pictures. Kingsley can’t wait until her next visit!”

“Thanks so much for getting Roxie today!! I got lots done and could relax knowing she was having fun with her besties!! I love the days she goes to your place because I know I’ll be able to sleep well that night! She comes home happily tired out every time ❤️👍🐶”

“Deborah and Jeffrey are warm and they genuinely love dogs. I’ve booked doggy day care with them for my dog several times now. They’re very good at communication and taking care of my fur baby as their own. I highly recommend them!”

About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, bunnies and more since I was a child. I love fur babies and will give your baby the love and care he/she needs when you are away. I am home and can give the attention and care your pet needs. My schedule is flexible, so I can easily fit in a walk, potty time or play time. I stay outside with my dog and cats while they play in the yard and on the large patio. Inside we all hang out together in the large living area, but I also have another room with a gate where a pet can go if she needs some space. I can have your dog sleep in the crate or outside the crate, whichever makes her the most comfortable and happy.

About: I have my own pet sitting business called Doggy Daydreaming on Facebook & Instagram. I have insurance for the pets I watch. I am a follower of Jesus Christ and I am powered through the love of God! 💚 I worked at a dog daycare for 5 years that had anywhere from 150-300 dogs a day! I got to experience special moments every day with all sizes, ages & breeds. Nothing is better than getting to spend the day with sweet pups. I have experience in taking care of seniors & puppies, pet photography, dog walking, administering medicine, breaking up altercations, bathing dogs, doing nail trims, & finding different ways to stimulate higher energy dogs! I have 2 small dogs, 1 big dog & 1 cat of my own. Also, I have experience in working with other pets as well such as lizards, mini pigs, guinea pigs, bunnies, cats, chickens and i’m eager to learn more! Currently, pet sitting is my full time job. I plan my day out usually weeks before to ensure that all pets get the right amount of care. I make sure all my other plans are set accordingly to my schedule so that I don’t interfere with my pet sitting! I care for pets in my clients homes by giving them everything they need such as cuddles, walks, treats, and making sure they hydrated and fed well! I can also bathe your pet/trim their nails if requested! Pupdates will always be sent to ensure a peace of mind for my clients.
About: Although I have more experience with cats, I love all pets in all sizes! I will treat your fur baby exactly the way they are supposed to be treated, like a member of the family. I will make sure your pets are well cared for, loved, and I will try my best to make sure you receive updates along the way because that is what I would like, if it were me. If your buddy needs medicine or special care instructions, I am happy to oblige. I want to make sure your pet feels the least amount of stress possible, because I know how hard it can be when they are away from you. I'm a stay-at-home mom, so I have plenty of time during the week to care for your pet and take them for walks. Boarding can happen any day of the week. I have a senior cat at home, an unfenced yard in a safe neighborhood. I will make sure your fur baby is cared for on the schedule you need to keep them on track. I do not have a crate, but if you'd like to provide one, I'm happy to crate your baby as needed. Because I stay at home, I will be picking up my kids from school during school days and would love to be able to bring your buddy with me during that time (if they aren't stressed about it).
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.
“Beth is amazing! She was quick to respond and kept me updated even though my pup was only there for an afternoon. She and her family and pup keep mine busy. Will contact her in the future for sure!!”

“Sharon was fantastic! Appears my dogs never even missed us! Ideal arrangement for us to have her watch them while we visited with a friend and her husband when passing through Indianapolis on our way to Wisconsin from our home outside Nashville, TN. Thank you Sharon! I highly recommend others use Sharon if wanting a loving home your pets can stay at when not able to accompany you. I have one dog around 60 lbs and other around 20 lbs. both rotten so loving care is what I want when needing an alternate care arrangement. Sharon met our needs! Now back on the highway.”

About: Over the past two years, I’ve been responsible for caring for a Golden Retriever from puppy to adulthood. I’m familiar with maintaining routines, handling energy levels, and making sure dogs feel safe and well cared for. I am a full-time work from home employee and I’m able to care for dogs while I work. I enjoy getting out to walk and play during the the work day. I have a smaller home, approx 900 square feet. It’s a loving home with two teen girls who love to care for dogs. While my yard is not fenced, we leash walk dogs when they need potty time.
“This is the first time I dropped my pups off and didn’t cry and worry about them all day! Mary is just amazing.... my fur babies had such a great time and are excited to go back!”
About: I have lots of experience in pets from birthing to seniors! I’ve done plenty of puppy training and I’ve worked with animals my entire life! Hello! I work full time during the week 8:15-4:30 and I do Rover on the side to help pay for my college! I have much more free time on the weekends but if you book for weekdays I’ll make sure your babies get the love and care they need! In my home I always make sure that my pets needs come first, if I notice a behavior I always try to find the root of it before making changes.
About: I will genuinely treat your pups like my own! I’ve had pets ever since I can remember - dogs, cats, & even fish. Today, I'm a proud plant & cat mom. Because I love traveling myself, I totally know how stressful it is to leave your babies behind & how important it is to have reliable, trustworthy help you can count on. I love taking dogs on adventures, whether that’s hitting trails to burn off energy or just enjoying a long, sniff filled neighborhood walk. I have experience with all kinds of personalities from high energy pups who want to play non stop, to sweet seniors who just want a slow stroll & some good couch cuddles. I love sending lots of photo updates & making sure your dogs feel safe, happy, & loved! I have a super flexible schedule. My days are open enough that I can easily prioritize structured potty breaks & long walks, without having to rush back to a strict 9-5 desk job. In my home your pet becomes a part of the family! My place is a pet friendly environment where they can fully relax & get cozy. While I don’t have a fence, I have a massive yard with a secure lead, so the dogs can get plenty of space while staying safe. Plus, they’ll get tons of attention & plenty of couch cuddles! If I’m coming to your house for a walk or a drop in, I’ll treat your space with total respect. I’ll strictly follow whatever routine you have for feeding, crating, or locking up. I'm always mindful of the little things like wiping muddy paws if it's rainy & making sure the water bowl is totally fresh before I leave. Plus, you can definitely count on lots of fun photo updates so you know exactly how great they’re doing! Whether your pet is hanging out at my place or I’m visiting yours, making sure they feel safe and comfortable is my biggest priority.
About: My name is Jess and I am a graduate of Purdue’s Veterinary Nursing program! I worked in a clinic for several years and have since transitioned to a work from home role. Working from home gives me amazing flexibility to care for your dog! I have experience with fear free handling and am capable of caring for special needs and senior dogs. I am also eager to care for your energetic puppies as I love going on long walks. I am able to administer any medication that your pet may need. My experience in the clinic at Purdue has given me extensive knowledge about animal care. I would be so happy to provide your best friend with love while you’re away! Working from home allows me to have great flexibility to care for your pup! I am able to provide frequent potty breaks and tend to your pups needs throughout the day. Pets are treated like family here and I will make it my priority to make sure your pup is comfortable! I have one small dog and a cat. My cat is very friendly with dogs and enjoys playing with them.
“A wondering family that took excellent care of my canine. You can expect lots of walks and updates and they even had fresh toys for my dog when I arrived. I will definitely request their services again when I am in town. Thanks so much!”
