“Savannah was great this week with my little dog, Chloe. She was prompt and communicative. Chloe normally takes some time to warm up to new people but made fast friends with her.”

About: I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from puppies to seniors. I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, so I understand their different needs, behaviors, and routines at every stage. Growing up, I cared for several of my neighbors’ pets and have been pet sitting in my community every summer since. I’m currently a senior in undergrad, so my class schedule is pretty light and flexible. I have plenty of time to dedicate to your pets, and I’m very active, so I love going on walks and spending time outside with them. I live in a neighborhood with a dog park, easy access to a trail, and sidewalks that are perfect for walks. While I don’t have a large yard or crate, there is plenty of space in my home to accommodate one if needed. Dogs are welcome in any room and on furniture, and I make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for at all times.

About: Hi! I’m Samantha, a lifelong animal lover and proud pet parent of 13 years. For over a decade, I have cared for my own pets and have also had the pleasure of pet sitting annually for four wonderful families. Whether it is walks, playtime, or feeding, I treat every animal like my own. I am available during 12:00 PM-1:00 PM most weekdays for a quick visit and after 5:00 PM. I am available most weekends for all hours. I personally do not do dog/cat sitting in my own home. I do have a lovely 1 year old mini Schnauzer named Suki and had a beloved mini Schnauzer named Layla for 9 years!

About: I’ve always loved animals and have plenty of experience caring for them. I regularly take care of my sister’s dogs for multiple days at a time, and I’ve also looked after my teachers’ pets. I have a dog of my own, and during the summer I walked my mom’s friend’s neighbors’ dogs. I love playing with animals, giving them lots of attention, and making sure they feel happy, safe, and loved. I’m a full-time student at Indiana University, so my schedule varies a little. I’m available before 4 PM on Mondays and Wednesdays, and I’m available anytime Friday through Sunday. I’m happy to work around your schedule when I can! One thing I love to do is take cute photos of your fur babies and send them to you throughout the day! I know it can be hard being away from your pets, so I want you to have that extra reassurance and be able to see that they’re happy, comfortable, and having a good time.

“You can tell Catherine really loves dogs! She took such good care of my Georgia girl. Taking her on long walkies and even wiping her down afterwards to get all the snow and dirt off. We look forward to future walkies!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs all my life. All of which have been large 80-110 pound dogs. My parents currently have 3 large dogs that I used to live with. I am currently a full time student so I would totally be down to watch dogs and cats all day while my clients go to work or out of town. I am trying to start my own food business so I get to do that during my free time. Throughout the years of having my own family dogs, I have learned when a dog is uncomfortable in a situation and when to get them out of a situation.

About: I've had dogs and cats in my home since the day I was born. I've grown up taking care of our pets, as well as pets of family and friends. I will always give your pets tons of attention and love! I'm a college student with a very flexible schedule. I can largely work around your needs and be available accordingly, AM or PM and overnight if needed. My dogs sleep in my room, I feed them first thing in the morning, take them out for a morning stroll and bathroom time, walk them in the afternoon, and feed and take them out at night before bed. I also play with the dogs regularly (inside and outside), give ear rubs and belly rubs, and make sure they have water always.

“Jonah has been kind and patient with our highly reactive dog. He is reliable, communicative, and willing to build trust with the pet. We also appreciate his flexible schedule.”

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have had experience with pups of all walks of life. As I got older, my friends got cats and I love a good kitty snuggle. I’m the friend that checks on the animals when you have to go out or hit up vacation! I work full time but work from home partially through the week! Usually available most weekday evenings after 5pm and would be available on set weekends for additional care beginning in the afternoons. I have a large fenced in backyard and work from home part of the week. I also have a separate area for crating, if needed. My own pup, Cricket, would love to have a buddy even now and again!

About: I grew up taking care of large and small dogs in my home. I have experience in bathing, walking, giving medications, and daily care. I also have a cat who I feed, groom, and maintain the litter box of. I am free any day of the week. I am home for the summer between undergraduste school and a doctorate program so I am available every day at any time. I have large fenced in backyard with lots of space to run around. I have two high energy dogs that love to play and run with other dogs.

About: I have been around dogs all my life, have two of my own Vizslas, so I know the importance of patience, consistency, and attentive care. I've also dog-sat for other families through the Nextdoor app (including overnight dog sitting) on top of my own dogs. I treat every dog like they are mine and always put their safety, comfort and routine first. Reliable, communicative and dedicated to making pets and their owners comfortable. I’m currently a student at Indiana University, and my class schedule gives me plenty of flexibility throughout the week for pet care. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting around my classes, with more availability in the afternoons, evenings, and on weekends. I’m also happy to work with your pet’s usual routine and schedule whenever possible! I always put the pet’s safety, comfort, and routine first. There is plenty of room for pets to stretch out and play in my home, including a fully fenced yard for outdoor time when supervised. I ensure they have fresh water, regular meals, exercise, and lots of attention. I really follow instructions carefully when caring for pets in a client’s home. This helps keep them on their regular routine and keeps them feeling safe and comfortable in a familiar environment. I also keep owners in the loop with regular updates and photos so they can relax while they are away.

About: I love getting to know animals and learning about their sweet idiosyncrasies to create a harmonious environment where we can all be our best selves together. I have a Weimaraner-mix dog and 2 cats who I love dearly and spend all my free time with. I’m a responsible dog-owner and have experience with obedience training. I grew up with animals, so caring for pets is second-nature to me. I’m in between semesters right now and work from home so I have full-time availability to show your dog the attention and affection they deserve. I take my own pup to the dog park every morning for about an hour, and throughout the day we go for long walks around Bryan Park and spend time in my fenced-in yard. In addition to having a fenced in yard for your dog to play in, and I live in a safe, residential area where we can go for long walks. My dog, Nisa, LOVES other dogs and will undoubtedly show your dog friendly playfulness and generosity. I live in a one-bedroom apartment and the dogs are allowed to chill on the furniture. When I leave the house for short errands I don’t crate Nisa, however I have a large dog crate for your pup if that is your preference. I’m happy to maintain your dog’s feeding schedule and can administer any medications they might need.

About: I’ve cared for my own dog for 10 years, which taught me a lot about daily pet responsibilities and the bond animals form with us. For the past two years, I’ve also volunteered at the Humane Society, where I walk dogs, clean kennels, and help care for cats. This hands-on experience has helped me become confident handling a variety of animal temperaments and needs. I bring patience, attentiveness, and a real love for animals to every interaction. Pet care is an integral part of my daily routine. I plan my schedule around the pets in my care to ensure they receive consistent attention, exercise, and affection. I start my mornings with feeding and walking, followed by playtime or any special care needed throughout the day. Evenings are dedicated to another walk, meals, and winding down with cuddles or calm time. I maintain a flexible schedule to meet each pet’s unique needs. I prioritize safety by pet-proofing my environment, removing any harmful items, and creating a calm and clean space. I follow the pet parent’s instructions carefully and ensure routines are maintained. Whether in my home or theirs, I monitor pets closely, provide positive reinforcement, and keep them comfortable with familiar items like their toys or bedding. I also keep emergency contacts and a vet plan ready at all times.
