“We appreciate Carol and her reliable caregiving of our two Australian Shepherds. She gave them walks, used their training commands and gave them belly rubs. We will ask Carol to help us in the future.”


2. Alissa B.

“Alissa has been great! I plan to continue hiring her for times when I'm away. She's patient with my pet, timely, really everything you could hope for.”


3. Carrie W.
About: Hi! My name is Carrie. I am a sophomore attending Taylor University. I have had dogs, fish, chickens, and lizards over the course of my life. I have taken care of pets for family, friends, and neighbors. I hope you will entrust your furry friends to my care! As I am a college student, I would be able to care for your pet anytime on Thursdays and late afternoon and evenings every other day as I am attending class during the day. Your pet will be my top priority when in my care! Animals will be fed, walked, let out, or whatever you need! Your pet will be safe.


4. Jessie P.
“Jessie is excellent with pets. I've entrusted her to care for my dog and visit my house to feed and care for my cats as well when I'm not able to. She always puts their needs and wants first and takes the necessary steps to ensure they get enough cuddle time and social interaction and goes above and beyond to put them first every time.”


5. Janice M.
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.


6. Taylor G.

“Amazing service. Taylor loves animals and was so precious with our dog. He was happy and fed when we got home after we spent a long day at the ballpark. So lovely knowing he was looked after well!”


7. Kaidence C.

“Couldn’t be happier! She took such good care of my boys! I think they really would not have minded me being gone longer. Will definitely be asking her to sit for them again. She was great! Thank you so much!”


8. Kylie G.

“Kylie was wonderful with our dogs! They loved her and are happy to see her! I was nervous about leaving them for a week, especially with my older dog being on a demanding medicine, but as soon as I met her I was instantly reassured and far more comfortable! I cannot recommend her enough! We get pictures and updates as we ask for them and as an emotionally attached Fur Mom, that’s exactly what I need when I’m away from my babies. THANK YOU, KYLIE! ♥️”


9. Isabella P.
“Isabella is one of the best pet sitters I’ve had! She took wonderful care of my cat for a week while I was out of town. She gave him plenty of playtime, love, and sent me regular updates every day. I recommend her for anyone in need of a pet sitter!”


10. Mykhail M.
“She has done such a good job watching my dogs. I needed someone to watch my dog last minute because I needed to help my mom in another state. She rush right over that same night. She treats my dog like they are family. I highly recommend her.”


11. Morgan M.

“Morgan did a great job with our pets on some drop by visits. She communicated well and sent photos.”


12. Hannah G.
About: Experience administering medication, walking, feeding, and snuggling pets. Looking for work during the summer/into the school year! Available to start immediately, hardworking, and committed to the job! (*I’m graduating in May and my lease in Muncie is up in July 2025. After July 2025, I will no longer be living in the area* thank you!!) I’m starting my senior year at Ball State, but I’m looking for work during the week and weekends. I enjoy taking walks and exercising after class. I live in an apartment with a large plot of grass next to the building, plenty of space to run around. Willing to exercise dogs in backyards, via walk, or even a trip to the dog park. I’ve also walked cats on leashes and in strollers.


13. Kimberly K.

“5 stars isn’t enough for this Amazing Person! Kim went above and beyond while caring for our pets. She made sure they were not only taken care of while we were gone, but also loved on and given lots of attention. I will 100% only use her in the future! Thank you so much Kim!”


14. Johwen M.
About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my genuine love for animals, personalized care for each pet, and reliable service. Your pets will feel at home with me! Most of my days end at around 4pm with nothing much left to do, so I’m searching for something to occupy that time, and I love animals so why not this! I care for pets by creating a safe, comfortable environment tailored to their needs. I also follow any specific instructions provided by the pet owners to make sure their pets feel right at home.


15. Greg A.
“Greg has taken care of many pets (dogs, cats, birds, lizards, guinea pigs, hamsters). He has loving kindness towards all animals. He has a special connection with them that I don't see in many people. I would highly recommend him to care for any pet. I know you'll be satisfied with the care your furry friend receives.”


16. Erin M.
About: I've been dog/house sitting for the past two years, during which I've developed a deep understanding of dog care and companionship. I am a high-energy person, which means I’m always ready to go on walks, play, and run around with dogs, ensuring they get plenty of exercise and attention. I also own a 10-month-old Golden Retriever named Daisy, who loves meeting new dogs and making friends. Having Daisy at home means I’m familiar with the care needs of puppies and young dogs, and I'm always prepared to keep your dog engaged and happy. I currently work in an elementary school. My hours are from 7:30-2:30 M-Th, and 7:30-11 on Fridays. My nights and weekends are both wide open. I have a very playful puppy at home and a secure yard where dogs can safely run around on a tie-out, providing them with plenty of space for exercise. I take pride in creating a safe, loving environment for all dogs I care for. With experience in crate training and potty training my own puppy, I understand the importance of routines and consistency. I also ensure that dogs are let out regularly and stick to their set schedules. Above all, I prioritize building trust with both pets and their owners, creating an environment where both feel comfortable and secure.


17. Victoria M.
About: I genuinely love all dogs! I’ve owned both a tiny lap dog and a huge Akita, so I’m comfortable with various sizes and personalities. Family and friends also trust me with their pets, and I always treat them like my own. I am home for the summer from college with lots of free time and a super flexible schedule - happy to help when you need! I have a big heart for animals and will care for your dog like my own! I’ll follow their routine and adjust to whatever they need, ensuring they are cared for while you are away!


18. Amanda A.

“Amanda was very friendly and reliable. This was my first time hiring a dog sitter and she was prefect. She took several pictures during her week long stay and allowed me to know how my Ginger was doing.”


19. Sophia S.
About: I’ve taken care of neighbors and friends dogs since I was 7. I took care of my doggo for years. I’ve taken care sick dogs and senior dogs. I am currently working full time but, I work early in the morning so I am completely free all afternoons. I am completely free on Thursdays and Saturdays! I have a big yard and if needed, I am able to take your baby to my house to play. I have access to a great dog walking trail around the Prairie Creek Reservoir.


20. Amanda C.
“I have known Amanda all her life and have watched her train and care for a variety of animals. I have Dobermans and she helped me post their ears. She was most persistent to get the ears to stand perfect, and they did! I trust her caring for my animals!”
