“Coretta was an angel with our shy cat Harriet—Coretta had her sitting nearby for pets the very first day! It was easy to trust her with our cat and our home, and we can't wait to have her back again.”
“From the moment we met her, we knew our cat was in the most loving and capable hands. She cared for our fur baby with so much tenderness and attention, going above and beyond to ensure Charlie felt safe, comfortable, and loved while we were away. Her daily updates brought us peace of mind and smiles each day. We are so grateful for her, and feel incredibly lucky to have found someone so wonderful to care for our Charlie.”
About: I have owned one dog after the other since I was 6 years of age, with my current 2nd dog who’s a boxer. My dog is a very rambunctious type who I can’t get enough of. I am available to work full time however will be working as a door dasher as well. So when I’m house sitting or coming for visits staying for a prolonged amount of time isn’t ideal but I will accept an increased price if necessary. Every morning I take my dog out for a walk followed by a bowl of food. I’m very familiar with wet and dry food, as well as medication taken via orally. My pup is also an aged fella, so any experience with older dogs having trouble getting up and down the stairs I can handle as well.
“Chloe is great with communication and patient with Penelope. She definitely paid attention to details and has no hesitation in ensuring she understands what she is doing. Thank you, Chloe!”
“Thank you for taking care of Penelope these past 2 weeks. We appreciate all that you did especially your initial visit, bonding with her patiently and gaining her trust.”
About: I grew up with dogs - my Afghan, Kesha, was my first best friend and how I learned to braid (lol). I've cared for Rottweilers, Pit Bulls, Cockers, and Min Pins. I've dog-sat and cat-sat for family and neighbors for years, and now my daughters and I are ready to open our peaceful home and fenced yard to pets needing love while their people are away. Our house has a crate, a basement space, and plenty of tail-wagging energy. Dogs aren't just welcome here, they're remembered forever. I'm currently home during the day with a very flexible schedule. I have plenty of time, space, and love to offer pets who need calm, consistent care while their owners are away. Pet care fits easily into my routine and brings so much joy into our home. I approach every client's home with the same respect. I would want someone to have in mine. I've worked in private homes as a section 8 inspector, a home care aide, and an insurance rep, so I'm comfortable operating professionally in someone else's space. I follow all house rules, keep things clean, and ensure pets feel safe and at ease while you're away. We live in a pet-friendly neighborhood. My daughters and I often take walks around the neighborhood, so any pet we care for will get the benefit of fresh air, familiar sights, and friendly energy. We have a peaceful, fenced yard, a crate if needed, and a quiet, unoccupied basement space for rest or separation when appropriate. I'm very aware of animal behavior, neighbor pets, and how to make pets feel safe and seen. This is a calm, kid-friendly, and pet-loving home.
About: I have experience caring for pets of all sizes and personalities — from tiny but feisty companions to big, playful pups. I’m also skilled in providing gentle, attentive care for senior and special-needs pets, ensuring every animal feels safe, loved, and happy. I am primarily available early mornings from 6am-12pm, but I can work afternoons if needed. Unfortunately I won’t be able to board any pets overnight I bring along a supply of fun toys and tasty treats to keep your fur baby happy, engaged, and entertained. You’ll enjoy clear, consistent updates, so you always know how your pet is doing and can feel confident they’re in loving hands.
“Jorinee was excellent with both of my cats. I am so glad I found her. I use to be concerned about who would look after my fur babies or even if I would be able to travel at all. My cats were very comfortable with her. They were relaxed, well fed and their litter box was clean. You can tell it was done on a consistent basis. I have another lengthy vacation for next year and will no doubt be requesting her. She is excellent and I would recommend her to anyone asking.”
About: Hello, I’m amazing at watching your furry family member while you’re gone! ❤️ thank you for trusting and booking with me , please feel free to text me! I have my doggy on a schedule so no need to adjust I’m pretty much adjusted but it’s pretty easy to take the dogs out I got a fenced in yard and I can see them playing threw my office window and plus I never leave the pups out there alone I make sure they remain on a schedule and remain as happy as can be I show them the same love I will show my own dogs
About: Taking care of animals when explaining what I do is a understatement. I’ve had animals all my life, whether feeding, caring, etc… I’m the one to do it. I simply just have a genuine passion for pets. I’d have one of my own but I’m in school. From bathing, grooming, walking… I literally do it all. So let me get to know your pet. I currently work a Part-Time job so I definitely have freedom and time to care for your pet. My days are a little wonky, but I communicate so that won’t be a problem. In my home, a dog is not a animal. It might as well be a human. I treat ANY pet with extreme care, putting them first before my own self. In a client’s home, it’s the same way, obviously with owners guidelines in mind… I’d make sure the dog is in great hands and care.
About: I have many years of pet care experience. As long as I have had a pet I have always treated them like family. Let me be one of your pet’s best friend. I go to school online full time from home during the school year. I am currently available to play with your pet(s), feed and walk them Monday through Friday. I will respect all of my clients rules if I am pet sitting in their home. I will do my best to accommodate my clients rules for pet sitting at my home. I am very respectful and want my clients to know that I am here for them and their pet(s).
About: I’ve helped raise 2 of my family’s dogs and now am raising a very well behaved puppy of my own. I am very responsible in all facets of my life and will properly tend to your dog’s needs. I am starting a remote job from Dyer, IN in July and would love to incorporate taking care of dogs into that flexible schedule of mine! Given my virtual workload, I am able to dedicate a large amount of time towards my Bentley and your dog. They will be given water/food, taken outside on walks, and anything else that’s needed :)
“I am so happy that my dogs were in such good hands while I was gone. She is just an amazing person that cares for my dogs as if they were her own. I have a blind senior dog in diapers and a deaf senior dog that requires meds and add to that a 4 year old Newfie and they all love her. I would recommend Rachael for anyone seeking peace of mind while having to be away from their dogs. We usually board them while we’re gone, having them stay home is my new preference. She was wonderful.”
About: I am your dogs best friend… when you’re not around of course 🤭😌🖤 I’ve nurtured dogs my entire life. I have experience with many types of dogs from morkies, poodles, Dalmatians, Airedales, blue pits, boxers, & etc. safe to say, I am well versed in the dog community! I genuinely enjoy providing a 5 star experience for your baby. This includes frequent walks, organic treats (if there’s no dietary restrictions), cuddles, a bin full of toys, & MORE! I currently WFH, so I am always at your pup’s disposal. I will be home majority of the time with your pet. I also have a pup of my own, & she is very friendly with dogs of all sizes. I currently stay across the street from a Huge park, so your baby will have plenty of time & space to run around. There’s also a fenced part of the park where they can play off leash.
About: I have taken care of family, friends, and co-workers cats for a few years now. I’m very reliable and I enjoy spending time with the cats. Please Read Before Booking! Due to each cat being different, I request each pet parent to bring their own litter box, litter, food bowls, food, and anything else you feel will make your fur baby comfortable during their stay. I currently work from home so I am home all day every day monday through friday and I am able to be home with the pets at all times. I am able to have a designated area for food, litter, and will be able to spend time with the cats all day so they wont be lonely. They are free to roam my place.

Ariecia R.
“I am happy to recommend Ariecia as a dog sitter. As a proud dog owner myself, I know how important it is to have a reliable and trustworthy person to take care of our furry friends when we are away, and Ariecia is that person. I have known Ariecia for many years now and during that time I have seen firsthand the love and care that she gives to her own dogs. She truly pampers them, paying attention to theirs needs and really treating them with love as if they were her own flesh and blood children. Whenever I've had to go out of town, I have trusted Ariecia to take care of my own dog and she has never let me down. She has always made sure that he gets plenty of exercise, attention, and affection. She also keeps me updated with pictures and videos which warm my heart when I am away and missing my dog. What sets Ariecia apart as a dog sitter is her genuine love for animals. She treats every dog as if it were her own and goes above and beyond to make sure that they feel safe, comfortable, and loved in her care. If you are looking for a responsible, reliable, and caring dog sitter, I highly recommend Ariecia. She is a true dog lover and will take excellent care of your furry friend!”
