About: Hi, I’m Olivia :) I’ve had animals my entire life—including dogs, cats, and birds—and even grew up on a farm, so caring for animals has always been second nature to me. I truly love all animals, and I understand that every pet has their own unique personality, routine, and needs. At home I have two kitties of my own that I love dearly, Gus and Sammie. Because I love to travel myself, I know how important it is to have someone caring, dependable, and trustworthy looking after your pets. Being able to give pet parents peace of mind is exactly why I’m here. I work a hybrid job, which gives me the flexibility to work remotely on many days. Just let me know the dates you’re looking for, and I’ll be happy to check my schedule. I’m comfortable with overnight stays, drop-in visits, walks, feeding, and keeping your pets on their normal routine. Growing up babysitting taught me responsibility, patience, and compassionate care for those who depend on us, and I bring that same level of care to every pet I watch. I treat every animal as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, happy, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I also love being outdoors, so walks and playtime are always something I look forward to! I’m happy to answer any questions you may have for me!! I look forward to meeting you and your furry (or hairless 😆) family members! In the photos provided, you’ll find some of the pets I’ve had the pleasure of caring for over the years, as well as my two kitties! I have a hybrid remote job, which gives me flexibility throughout the week with advance notice. I typically work 8am to 5 pm on weekdays and have open availability on weekends. I’m happy to help with evening visits, overnight stays, and pet care right after work! Boarding at my home may not be the best option right now, as I would want to make sure my own cats are properly acclimated first and avoid creating unnecessary stress for your pets. I’d be more than happy to provide care in your home, where your pets can stay comfortable in their own familiar environment. If you’d like to meet beforehand, I completely understand and would be happy to arrange a meet-and-greet to make sure everyone feels comfortable.

“We are beyond thankful and grateful for Jenna. She took care of our Gracie and our new house without any issues. She is so kind and very responsible. We will call Jenna every time we need a doggie and house sitter. We highly recommend Jenna to anyone looking for great care of their pup and home.”

About: I have provided house, pet, and babysitting needs to clients and family friends for the past two years. I have additional availability and looking for more opportunities! I have a flexible schedule and I keep close track on what times I am available on a given day. I do not work full time which allows me to be more flexible. I have one dog, five guinea pigs, and fish. I love buying them toys and special treats. Snuggling with them on the couch and playing fetch!

“I highly recommend Samantha. She was very diligent in caring for a somewhat complicated schedule for several types of animals. When we returned the animals were happy and well cared for. She also house sat for us. She is very respectful of our property and the house was left in immaculate condition! We could not have been more pleased and it is such a relief to have someone we can trust with our animals and our home. Hire Samantha! You will not be disappointed.”

“Brooke, once again, did a great job. Even getting a couple inches of snow, was not a challenge for our 5 lb Scarlett. Brooke just cleared an area in the backyard so she could do her business. Already have our next trip booked.”

About: Experienced dog, cat, and pet owner with lots more love to give! I was raised with pets and have both cats and dogs as an adult. I’ve extensive experience with different breed types and temperaments and believe that all pets are deserving of love and care. I work from home full time, so your pet is sure to receive plenty of playtime and cuddles! I’m kind, patient, honest and responsive. Does your pup think scooters are monsters? Does your cat need to take medicine? Don't worry - I've got you. I have a full time job with lots of flexibility, so your pet will be well cared looked after no matter what day it is. I'm fully available on weekends. The most important thing for me is to establish and build trust not only with your pet, but also with you. As a long-time pet owner, I know how scary it can be to leave your fur baby with a stranger. Ensuring that everyone is comfortable and happy makes the experience better for everyone.

About: I had German Shepherds, Welsh Corgis, a Jindo, and a mixed-breed dog back in Korea, and all of them were well trained. When I meet a new dog, I try to become their friend by making gentle eye contact, lowering myself to their eye level, and offering my hand while patiently waiting until they feel I am safe. I have also dealt with aggressive dogs several times, and in the end, they too became my friends. Since I work from home with flexible time during the week, I have not had my own pet yet because I felt it would be unfair to leave them alone for long hours. However, on weekends I usually dedicate time to myself through photography, driving, and hiking, and I would truly enjoy having the company of your dog or cat during those times. Taking care of a pet would naturally fit into my routine as part of those weekend activities, giving me both companionship and joy while also ensuring the pet has quality time and attention. In my home, I would care for pets as if they were my own friends—providing attention, playtime, and walks, even on rainy days, to make sure they stay active and happy. In a client’s home, I would first ask about any rules or restrictions, such as areas of the house that are off-limits, preferred snacks, daily routines, and any medical concerns. I believe following the owner’s guidance is very important to ensure the pet feels comfortable and safe in their familiar environment.

“Hannah has been great to watch our dog multiple times when we are out of town. She is reliable with good communication throughout the stay. We will continue to reach out to her!”

About: Hey there! My name is Sarah! I am in the Indiana Army National Guard, am 19 years old, and love animals! I would love to help you out with your babies! I have experience with old and young dogs, giving medication, and house training! I am out of school, I am in the Army National Guard, and typically always having evenings free! I don’t work until around 10am so I can do potty breaks before then! I prefer to stay overnight at your home so I can take care of you pets best! I am okay with feeds, potty breaks, and cleaning up in any way. I can also do medication if you show me how!

About: I've taken care of pets all of my life. From puppies all the way up to seniors. I love them all. They all need someone to care for them and feel the extra love especially when their normal family is away. I'm currently flexible and can fit pet care into my daily routine. Occasionally, I will pick up an additional job. But that shouldn't interrupt with taking care of what I love to do and that is to take care of fur babies. I would rather take care of your pets in their environment due to the fact that they are most comfortable there. I also have two fur babies of my own. But I feel as if fur babies are normally happy in their own surroundings.

“Andrew was an absolute godsend while we were away!!! He took the BEST care of our dog, and sent us cute photos and videos each day! He truly listened to what we wanted for our dog (who is older and a little stubborn) and went above and beyond in terms of caring for her like his own beloved pet. He checked in with us to ensure that we were ok with certain things, and did an amazing job of keeping us reassured that things were all a-ok, which was particularly nice since it was our first time experiencing an in-home pet sitter. He left our house in nicer condition than when we left it. I’m pretty sure my dog misses him now that we are home! We have already told him we will be using his services again in the future!!!”

Becky L.

About: Mom of 2 hooomans (13&17I also have a Pomeranian, Mika. If you want your pet to be spoiled, you’ve come to the right place, lol. I work part time so I’m pretty flexible right now. I’m looking to add some work to my schedule doing something I love & enjoy! If you’re boarding your pet with me in my home, a crate will need to be provided for short periods of time if I need to step out and can’t bring them with me! I secure each dog on a leash when taking them outside on walks or to potty. Unless you have a fenced yard. I support treats, (:

“Truly the best! We are actually able to enjoy vacation knowing our boys are well cared for and spoiled with love and attention! Kari sends plenty of pictures and updates!”

About: Hey, my name is Bailey and I love working with animals. I grew up on a farm with horses, goats, chickens, but most importantly cats and dogs. When I was a kid my grandparents bred puppies and I would help take care of them. Moving forward anytime someone needed help feeding and walking their dogs I volunteered. I have dog sat many times and had dogs come to my house a few times as well. I have one dog myself, a pit mix named Goofy. I work part-time and am off on Mondays and Wednesdays. I start work at 8am almost everyday and get off at either 1pm or 2pm except Sundays when I get off at 3:30. I'm available for overnight stays and can walk and feed your pet both before and after work. I consider myself very active and will be happy to take your dogs on plenty of walks. I can walk around your neighborhood or take a quick trip to a nearby park. I love playing with dogs and cats, especially laser and fetch. I love fetch. I have a special needs cat and I make my own food and treats for my dog so if your animal has any dietary or medical requirements I will happily rise to the occasion.

“I hate leaving our sweet kitty, but Serena put my mind at ease. She was responsive, kind, and a wonderful sitter!”

“Marek stepped up to the plate and accepted a last minute day care request. My dog had a riotous day playing with his dogs and got more than his share of exercise. Marek's rates are very low and don't reflect the care that he gave to my grateful pet.”
