“Taryn was great. She hit it off with my cat Murphy. She followed all instructions. She stayed for the full time she was supposed to. I will definitely hire her again when I go out of town. It was nice to have the piece of mind that Murphy would be looked after while I was gone.”
“Highly recommend Monica and Daniel. Very nice people. Kind and respectful to the cats. Even asked if there was more they needed to do! They were nice enough to help us bring in the mail. I was able to leave knowing my cats were well cared for. They vacuumed extra litter tracked in the house and took care of any hairballs. They did everything we asked for. They even uploaded pics of the cats and did a quick update of what they did which I do appreciate. I highly recommend them!! Will hire them again the next time I'm out of town.”
“Juliana boarded my cat Pistachio for a few days. Everything went great. She sent pictures throughout and drop off and pickup were quick and painless. Will definitely book her services again.”
About: I’ve had the privilege of growing up with two dogs back to back and I’ve taken lead in training and taking care of both of them. My current second dog, Jake, is a very rambunctious type who I can’t get enough love out of people, but is also very well behaved after about 30 min of meeting someone. Jake dealt with Parvovirus when he was a puppy and was inches away from leaving us, but thankfully with the right care we got him he was able to survive and just turned 9 this past August. I am available to work full time however will be working as a door dasher as well. So when I’m house sitting or coming for visits staying for a prolonged amount of time isn’t ideal but I will accept an increased price if necessary. Every morning I take my dog out for a walk followed by a bowl of food. I’m very familiar with wet and dry food, as well as medication taken via orally. My pup is also an aged fella, so any experience with older dogs having trouble getting up and down the stairs I can handle as well.
“Riley did a great job doing drop-in visits with my 8 month kitty. She came the day before I left to get acquainted with my cat and to go over the to do list. She was super nice and friendly, and has experience in having her own pets including dogs and cats. Her and my cat hit it off immediately and I was so happy to know they would get along and have fun together. Riley also sent me pictures and a report every day!”
“David helped me with a last-minute request for a drop-in visit. He's watched Sam multiple times, and that was comforting. Plus, David made the trip on a day when we were getting hit by a snowstorm. I'm grateful for his help and care with Sam.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats practically all my life! All my friends and family trust in me to take care of their fur babies whenever need be! I’m currently enrolled in online courses, so I’m usually available on the weekdays after 1pm and I am occasionally available on the weekends after 12pm. In the client’s home I always clean after the fur babies and follow any instructions given. I always look and take care of them as if they were my own!
About: For as long as I can remember I have taken care of, rescued, and cared for animals. Through out my life I have over all had 18 animals in my house hold (at one point in time 8 cats all under the same roof) and I have often helped taken care of animals of family and friends. I have checked in on dogs for noon outside time and potty breaks as well as stayed at a home for as long as a month to take care of a cat. I have experience with pets in all stages of life and in handling animals with different temperaments. I have also given animals medications (from diabetic shots to thyroid pills to special prescription food) and I am very active in taking care of them. Currently I have one dog and three cats that I share with my partner, all of whom I have taken care of from early on in their lives. I am currently in between jobs so most days and times I am available. I do share a car but we always work together to figure out who can use the car when. Just let me know what you need and when and I will work with you to figure out a schedule that works for both of us. I am very respectful of other's homes, making sure things are clean and nothing is messed up. Whether your fur baby tore up a rug or I accidentally broke something, there will be full transparency on what happened while you're away. I can send daily text check ins and don't mind being called daily to ensure everything is alright, your animals are family and I will treat them as such. Any house rules or animal schedules you have set I will abide by. I will give your animal full attention and do what I can to give them what they need.
“Marissa took excellent care of my four adult cats during a three-night stay. She was professional and personable, followed care instructions and sent timely updates. The house was in excellent shape when I got back and the cats were happily chillin'. I could tell they enjoyed her company. This was my first time having a sitter and I have to say it was a really positive experience. I’d definitely recommend and book her again!”
“Chloe was super nice and accommodating when I had to make a change of plans last minute! 10/10 would recommend and she took super cute pictures to keep me updated as well!”
About: I started dog walking when I was 8 years old around my neighborhood. Since then I have had experience with training puppies, senior dog care, and even working with animals in a professional setting. I'm currently a stay at home mom so my schedule is flexible to fit your needs. I love walks at any time of day or night! I have a fenced in back yard and a dog park that is just a walk down the street. I have two dogs to keep your fur baby occupied while staying with me.
“Jorinee was excellent with both of my cats. I am so glad I found her. I use to be concerned about who would look after my fur babies or even if I would be able to travel at all. My cats were very comfortable with her. They were relaxed, well fed and their litter box was clean. You can tell it was done on a consistent basis. I have another lengthy vacation for next year and will no doubt be requesting her. She is excellent and I would recommend her to anyone asking.”
About: I have taken care of countless animals, especially dogs and cats and have been relied on by friends and family since I was 10 years old. I am student athlete at Purdue northwest so I am pretty busy but still have downtime to get your pet whatever they need. I have classes around mid day M-Thurs but free in the late morning and later afternoons, and most weekends! I take exceptional care of my cats and dogs when I am home, have a fenced in yard, electrical training collars, always have harness and leash for walks as well as poops bags and training treats during walks, as for the cats I always have 2 litter boxes and multiple water stations around the house
“I can tell Kayla is a true animal lover, she came in early and stayed the entire planned time and made sure Tessi (cat) had fresh water and food, and also played with her after she ate. I hadn’t come home last night and noticed in the camera Tessi had been stopping by and waiting by door several times throughout all night, worrying whether someone would come home. She started her cat cry around 7:30am, and after Kayla’s service at around 11am Tessi didn’t bother to come to the door until I came back home around 3:30PM, indicating Tessi was content and that was exactly what she needed. Definitely recommend!”

Taryn was excellent at providing pictures and updates at every visit. She was wonderful when we talked with her and when she was alone with our animal. Very friendly and knowledgeable on animals, and was a quick learner when it came to our animals care. Couldn't ask for a better animal sitter!
