About: Hello - I’m Rick! I've lived with dogs all my life, and had a cat when I was a teenager. My girlfriend, Cristina, and I are passionate about pets and animal advocacy — we have fostered eight dogs a various ages and breeds through a local animal shelter. We've provided lots of care and training to help them prepare for their forever home and are familiar with administering medications to pets as needed. We live in a house with a fenced backyard and we are two blocks from a state park where we spend lots of time walking and enjoying nature with our pets. We’re excited to meet you and your pet(s) and provide the individualized care, comfort, and peace of mind every pet parent seeks!! For the safety of our pets and those we are caring for dogs we host, we highly prefer for the dogs to be crate trained but we can discuss if they are not. Don't hesitate to reach out with any questions! My girlfriend works from home during the day and I work night shift so someone is usually always home. Our schedules are flexible and we are usually able to accommodate special requests - don't hesitate to reach out! Our house has a fenced backyard and our guests are free to roam upstairs or we section off our living room area if they prefer to have their own space and couches to lounge on. We can offer crates for small to medium size dogs if your pet is more comfortable sleeping in a crate. We’re happy to accommodate special requests to ensure the comfort of your pet! For new clients, our meet and greets typically last about 15 minutes, and we can have your dog(s) explore the backyard or go on a group walk together. We are privately insured through Pet Care Insurance (PCI), in addition to the Rover Guarantee, so your pups are well covered!

About: I am a dog mom to two senior dogs, Chloe and Tuni. Tuni is a Doxie with IVDD and Chloe is a grumpy old lady. Both are my world and the light of my life! I am a special education teacher, who works during the day, but I am available on evenings, weekends, holidays, and during school breaks. I am excited for a change of pace and look forward to working with your fur babies! I have a house with a fully enclosed yard and a finished basement. I am available for house-sitting or drop-in visits, depending on your needs.

“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.”

“Lupe took care of my cats during the holidays with great care! She paid attention to all their needs and kept me updated on everything. This was my first time leaving them alone like this, so I'm really glad I had Lupe to count on.”

About: I have two animals, an American bully named Bailey. And a black cat named Meow Meow. they are well taken care of, happy, and very friendly. I love taking care of them rather that be training, playing, or even cuddling with them when they want to. Pet care is probably one of the most important aspects of my day. It brings me great happiness to know my pets are taken care of. I’d also like to go walking more so going for walks in the evening with a buddy will help me stay motivated! My pets are well fed, always playing, and are near me all the time. I always consider pets I meet anywhere my own. I take the time to make sure my pets are happy and safe.

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 :)

“Thank you for taking time from your holiday to give patches some love”

About: I’ve had the joy of working with dogs of all sizes at the Homewood Adoption Center, where I learned to care for every personality—from playful puppies to wise seniors. I love helping each dog feel safe, happy, and loved, and I bring that same dedication to every pet in my care. I am available to care for pets all week and can adjust my schedule to meet your needs, including overnight stays if required. Your pets’ comfort and happiness are my top priority! When caring for pets in your home, I follow your instructions closely to ensure consistency and comfort for your pet. I provide feeding, walks, playtime, cuddles, and bathroom breaks as needed, while keeping your home safe and clean. I also give updates and photos so you can feel connected and reassured while you’re away.

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.

“Shantell does a great job taking care of my fur baby. He feels comfortable around her and responds well.”

“Maria was great. I scheduled her for a couple of drop in visits on a day we were going to be gone all day. She contacted me an hour before her first visit because there was rain in the forecast. She asked about how the dogs were in the rain and checked to see if she should walk them or plan for the backyard. She sent pictures and communication was great. I’ve already scheduled her for an upcoming overnight stay.”

Tara L.

“Coretta dropped in on my fur babies while I was out of town. I got photos and a summary after each visit and Coretta noted a couple of behaviors out of my cats that she thought I would want to know, which I greatly appreciated. She did a great job, as usual!”

About: well, one thing that makes me unique is my extensive experience in training puppies. i've worked with a lot of dogs before, so i'm great at handling them and helping them learn new tricks. but wait, there's more! i also have some experience with senior care and can provide personalized care and support for older animals. I have open availability! Just give me a two days notice and a day before if you need to cancel. You can reach me by my phone number. when i'm caring for pets in my own home, i make sure to provide a safe and comfortable environment for them. i have all the supplies they need, from food and water bowls to toys and comfortable bedding and when i'm caring for pets in their owner's home, i follow the same guidelines and make sure to respect their space and routine. i also always make sure the pets are comfortable and well-taken care of.

“David helped me with a last-minute request for a drop-in visit. He's watched Sam multiple times, and that was comforting. Plus, David made the trip on a day when we were getting hit by a snowstorm. I'm grateful for his help and care with Sam.”
