“Jessie was so so so amazing!!! Beyond professional and asked us so many thorough questions during the meet and greet we felt really good about leaving our babies in her care while out of the country!! We were able to have a relaxing vacation knowing our animals and house were safe !!”

“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 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.
