Maddie was quick to respond and easy to communicate with through the stay. I have an older dog and she did well with him. She left my place clean and respected my house while sitting. Would recommend!

Mary was wonderful in so many ways. Because of the circumstances, I had to make arrangements on short notice. Mary came through and took such great care for 3 dogs, one of whom is a sometimes rambunctious youngster. Everything went so well, I highly recommend Mary.

About: I’ve been a dog owner and foster parent my whole life. I’ve trained and owned all kinds of dogs from Jack Russels and Pomeranians to Great Danes and Golden Doodles. The relationships I build with dogs are enriching and rewarding. The innocence and desire to just be themselves is what I love about animals. I treat my new dog friends like family and I believe they prosper in a relationship that promotes their inner dog as well as setting boundaries that help the human/canine relationship prosper. I embrace the belief of calm assertive dominance and find it that dogs seem to find peace in me being in that role. I am a stay at home parent whose availability is an asset that I utilize for the sake of the animals I care for. I hope to one day befriend your best friend. I’m a stay at home father of 10 and 12 yr old boys. I raise 2 dogs, 2 cats, and 24 chickens. I have lots of flexibility to ensure the care needed for you pet. I love to spend time with animals in the environment they feel most comfortable. With my flexible schedule and the abundance of land on my property and in my locale, I know I can fit the needs of your furry friend.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I were a sophomore in high school housesitting or taking dogs on a walk. My family and friends have relied on me and even have recommended me to others in need I’m currently working full time, but I am still available to house-sit or walk dogs after I get off work. I will have plenty of time after work to play with the dogs! I can crate your dog if needed. I will always make sure that if there isn’t a fenced in yard and the dog needs to go out, I will put a leash on it to make sure it doesn’t run off

About: I have always love all kinds of animals since I was little. Im hoping to get my some soon when I get my own place. A lot of people always told me that I'm an animal whisper because a lot of animals really trust me more than others. Owners have told me how amazing it is to see their fur babies trust me and let them pet them when they normally don't let anyone pet them. I am currently looking for a part time job right now. As I am a Caregiver working through the weekdays. I am sure we can talk more about the days and times that work for both of us! I can’t wait to meet your amazing animal! I have a fenced yard, and two cats that will make sure your animals have companionship! In this house we spoil our animals and your animals equally with lots of treats, cuddles, and playtime!

About: Hi! I’ve been caring for animals since I was 12 years old and have experience with a wide variety of pets. I previously cared for an elderly woman’s boxer for two years, and I have pets of my own, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your fur babies. I’m currently in college, so my availability varies depending on my class schedule, but when I’m with your pet, they’ll receive my full attention and care. I prioritize safety, consistency, and clear communication with pet parents. I love routine and making sure pets feel comfortable and secure. Your pet will receive regular meals, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and lots of affection while you’re away. I’m attentive to individual needs and happy to follow any specific instructions you provide. I treat every pet like they’re my own 🤍🐾 I'm a stay at home mom so I have tons of availability. I'm enrolled in school but it's online so I'll have all the time for your babies! I live in an apartment so I don't have a fenced in yard, but we have PLENTY of yard to burn energy in. I love going for walks and playing catch with the fur babies so they will have plenty of outside time. If they're couch potatoes I allow animals on all furniture and I love the cuddles they give. Anything you want, will be done!

About: I have pet sit for many years. I love meeting new animals. I enjoy pet sitting because as a social worker I am able to come home to an animal and sent time with them. Animals are the way I cope. I have plenty of time to play with animals in the evenings and weekends. My schedule is very open for this and I am excited to have this opportunity I will ensure to keep everything the way I found it or even better. I know animals do best in their own environment so I have no problem being in other peoples homes. I show respect.

About: Since I could walk, I’ve had animals in my life. I’ve helped care for animals of all kinds ranging from fish, cats and dogs to chickens and horses! Feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns. I am currently off work and have open availability to take care of your furry friend(s)! If you have any questions, feel free to reach out and I will get back to you ASAP! Currently, I have 3 cats, a Chihuahua and a 30 gallon fish tank. As far as my cats go, I feed them canned food and have dry food out regularly. They have yearly vet visits and I keep them up-to-date on boosters. My cats are enriched with cuddles, playtime and scratchers in multiple places throughout my place. They love to be brushed often as well. My dog, Butterball, has his nails filed as often as needed and he loves cuddles under the blanket while watching tv. He goes outside on a lead multiple times a day. My fish tank is cleaned and maintained biweekly. I also always have spring water on hand to keep water levels appropriate.

I provide them with love, food and water, bathroom needs, and entertainment. When I'm somewhere new, you'll find me looking for the nearest animal to pet.

About: My family has had dogs my whole life. Currently I have a niece (goldendoodle) and nephew (labradoodle), but I miss my son (staffordshire) every day. I am active at my local humane society and I'm ready to care for your furry family member as well. I currently have a part-time job, so my availability is very flexible and can be easily adjusted to accommodate pet care. I look forward to adding your dog to my schedule! I live very close to my local park, so it is a frequent stop when I care for dogs. Additionally, I prioritize play and indoor enrichment if weather isn't conducive to a safe walk.

About: Hey there, my name is Jillian and I am 19 years old, responsible, active, and caring! I have had animals since I can remember. With that being said, I have took care of animals from when they were puppies/kittens- to when they were old and gray. I understand that leaving your fur baby with someone else when your away can be very stressful, but rest assured that I will be there to provide excellent and quality care for your animal. Being able to take care of animals is truly a blessing and I take pride in that! I currently work at an elementary school during the day (Monday-Friday until approx. 4 PM) and I am searching for opportunities to be able to help within our community when I am available to do so! Being able to do this and being a helping hand for people in need is something I look forward to doing! Taking proper care of animals is what is in my best interest. Crate training, walking them, feeding them, etc. I can do it all, and I can do it properly!

About: I have had pets my entire life, and I've also helped friends and family care for their pets when they were away or otherwise unable to do so. Personally, I have three cats, three dogs, and one miniature parakeet. Animals, big and small, I love them all. I am a teacher, so my evening, weekend, and summer hours are very flexible. I am able to drop by to care for pets, can stay in your home if that works best for you, and can drop by for feedings, outdoor breaks, and walks. In your home, I will follow your directions to ensure that your pets have consistency and receive the care they need. Communication is a strong trait for me, and I will be sure to communicate with you about any questions that might arise.

About: I am an avid pet lover with 3 dogs & 1 cat of my own! I take immense pride in treating my pets and other people's pets as members of my family. I love spending time cuddling indoors with your pets and lots of walks/hikes to explore with my furry friends! I own a historical tudor revival sitting on almost an acre. We have lots of walking paths - wooded & paved - just steps away from our home. I do have children that are very much actively involved and engaged with all of the pets in our home, and they love meeting new fury friends as well. I would love to host your animal in my home or assist in any of your pet needs while you're away. If you have any questions or would like to know more, please do not hesitate to reach out. I work remotely as a financial analyst for a local hospital so my job creates a lot of flexibility in my availability to accommodate more pets in my home or your own. I own nearly an acre of land in a well maintained, quiet, historical neighborhood just steps away from Ball State. I have three dogs - St. Bernard, Petite Mini Goldendoodle, and German Shepard/Golden Retriever Mix. My home is conveniently laid out for me to accommodate any dog! All of my pets are socialized, very friendly, and up to date on their vaccinations. However, if there are any concerns, I am able to keep pets separated in different areas of my home. I have extra toys, dog beds, litter box for cats, and a large crate available for our fury visitors.

About: I've grown up surrounded by pets—from energetic pups to laid-back cats—and caring for animals has always been second nature. For the past three years, I’ve been the go-to pet sitter for my family during vacations, making sure their pets are safe, happy, and loved. I bring that same level of care and attention to every pet I meet! I also have an in house camera system for constant monitoring. Working third shift gives me a flexible daytime schedule, which means I’m wide awake and available when most people are at work. Whether it’s morning walks, afternoon playtime, or midday check-ins, I have the time and energy to give your pet the attention they deserve. I provide care from my apartment, creating a safe and cozy environment for your pet. I live in a very quiet pet friendly neighborhood. I'm also physically strong, which allows me to confidently handle larger or high-energy dogs while keeping them safe and happy. I use flea prevention spray and traps between each client.
