“Kristan did great watching our dog at our house for the weekend! Our dog is a little particular and requires lots of walks for her energy and Kristan was great meeting her needs. She gave her all the attention she needs and gave us updates. She also left our house all neat and clean! Definitely recommend her!”

“Zoe was fabulous providing care for our two pups while we were out of town for the weekend. She was excellent in keeping in touch, sending pics, and checking in with care questions as needed. I’m so grateful for all her efforts. We will definitely rebook Zoe in the future!”

About: I have been a regular pet sitter for friends, family, and coworkers since I was a teenager. I have experience with large or small dogs, elderly dogs, cats, and pets that need medication or other accommodations. I have experience with dog-sitting for up to two weeks at a time. This has sometimes included, but is not limited to, administering medication, cleaning up messes inside and outside, walking, feeding, and bathing. Ensuring the safety, health, and happiness of each pet I take care of is my top priority and it is one of my favorite things to do in the world! I do not have the same schedule weekly, so I will constantly update my availability. I only know my availability up to 3 weeks in advance. Unless I have to work very early the next day, I am available for overnights at least 3 days a week (typically). I am unable to have pets at my house because I live with a family member’s dog that does not do well with other animals. Please give me any and all instructions! I will make sure to follow any routine that I can for your pet to be comfortable. I will provide as many updates/photos as requested.
“Mary was on time and sent lots of pictures. The best part was coming home to happy doggs and a house how we left it. Nothing was broken or destroyed. We greatly appreciated not having to worry while being away!”

“We have never left our dog Tucker with anyone before and I am so happy the first time we did it was with Holli and Susan. They were wonderful with him, very communicative, and left the house clean! Would absolutely book with them again.”

“Lauren was absolutely amazing with our pups. She gave daily updates and pictures, very communicative, and we could tell our pups were well taken care of when we got home. Highly recommend her! We will definitely use her again.”

“We were very pleased with using Tammy for the first time with the two beardies at our home over the weekend. I felt very comfortable leaving them with her after meeting her and her careful attention to the details of taking care of them. We could tell they were pleased, unstressed and happy with her stay. We would not hesitate to use her again and refer her to friends! She took great care with our house as well”

“Kelly was absolutely amazing with our two dogs! From the moment we met her, we could tell she truly loves animals and takes her job seriously. She was reliable, communicative, and went above and beyond to make sure our pups were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We received regular updates and photos, which gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Both dogs absolutely adored her — it’s clear she treated them like her own. We couldn’t recommend Kelly more highly and will definitely be booking her again!”

“Hannah was very flexible, meet n greet, and is kind, confident, and understanding. She clearly has experience with loud and large dogs as well. I would trust her to watch the dogs again!”
About: I have had dogs and cats virtually my whole life. I am very experienced in feeding, giving pills, taking pets outside, etc. I have worked at Fishers Veterinary Hospital for a little under a year now as part of the patient care team. I am heading off to IU in the fall to major in Biology with a Pre-Vet track. I would love to help care for your pets! I currently work part-time at a veterinary hospital and receive my schedule a month in advance. Because of this, I can usually plan ahead and provide reliable availability. Feel free to reach out with your dates, and I’ll be happy to let you know if I’m available! Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. Through my experience working at a veterinary hospital, I have learned how to recognize signs of stress, illness, or discomfort and how to handle animals calmly and safely. I will carefully follow all feeding, medication, and care instructions and provide updates so you can feel confident while you’re away. I treat every pet with patience, compassion, and the same level of care I would want for my own pets.
“Jasmine did a great job house sitting for our high energy dog while we were gone. Definitely put our mind at ease for the week and would for sure go back at Jasmine again!”

“Michelle is the absolute BEST! She took at-home-care of my Boston Finnley for 6 days while I was in cali and my baby absolutely loved her!! From the moment they met it was kisses and happiness !! Frequently she sent me updates and pictures, keeping me involved in their daily adventures! I felt at ease knowing he was well taken care of while I was gone, having loads of fun, walking, playing, and having a companion there in his own surroundings . It was obvious that she truly cares about our pets and that it goes beyond just fulfilling a job . I was lucky to have found her and couldn’t have had a better fit for my pup. We look forward to our next pet sitting with Michelle and thank her for being such a wonderful human being ❤️❤️❤️”


“We used Cathy for the first time recently for a long trip to sit/care for our pets and overall provide house sitting. She was great with our animals and really dependable. We will definitely be using Cathy going forward. I would highly recommend her for your house and pet sitting needs.”

“Lorrie was amazing! She stayed at my house and watched both of my dogs! She was responsive and sent lots of photos! When I got home, it was like she was never there, the house was so clean! I will definitely be using her from now on!”

“Tucker stayed with jedi all weekend, he took him on walks, kept me updated (with pictures) and gave him the attention he deserves. Jedi liked his company and I will happily rebook if he is available for my next trip.”

About: I’ve loved walking and caring for dogs and cats since I was 13 years old. I treat every pet with kindness, patience, and care as if they were my own. I have a flexible schedule and am available most days. Feel free to reach out, and I’ll do my best to accommodate your pet care needs. I prefer caring for pets in their own home, where they feel comfortable and safe. I follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions you provide. I make sure your pet receives plenty of attention, care, and love while you’re away, and I always keep their safety and well-being my top priority.

Kylie was great with our two dogs! She was flexible scheduling a meet and greet with us, and communicated promptly the whole time. We received photos while we were away, and came back to the house just as we had left it. I would absolutely recommend Kylie for anyone looking for a pet sitter!
