About: I am a future veterinarian looking to gain experience with all kinds of fur babies. I am skilled in brushing, nail trimming and administering medications to cats and dogs. I am loving to all pets (even those who don’t love me back 😆) and I am willing to have frequent communication with owners to ensure they are comfortable with leaving their baby in my care. Pet care is a daily thing for me, if I’m not looking after my own animals I am looking after loved pets at my job. Helping animals helps me, it’s something I can’t imagine NOT doing. My availability ranges as I am a college student and changes every few months as my classes change! Please just reach out and I will work with you to see if I’m the right fit for your furbaby! Thank you for being patient with a working college student I truly appreciate it. 🐾❤️ While I do not offer pet care in my own home, I am willing to accommodate any type of animal needs. I will care for them to their owners content and be sure to provide them with updates and photos. I am very open to communication and redirection, if I do something that displeases a client I would like to know immediately so we can prevent miscommunications in the future. If the clients want I am willing to meet before hand to discuss plans on caring for their animal.

Lauren was amazing! I felt so comfortable having her in my home. She gave me peace of mind that my cat was not alone and well taken care of while I was out of town working. Would recommend and use her again.

About: I provide dependable dog walking and drop-in services focused on keeping your pets safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet’s care. I have two large dogs of my own, ages 7 and 9, so I’m very familiar with handling bigger breeds, different energy levels, and daily routines. Whether your pet needs a quick check-in, a potty break, or a longer walk to burn off energy, I’m committed to giving them the attention and care they deserve. I work full-time during the day M-F, but I’m available for dog walks and drop-in visits in the evenings and on weekends. I’m happy to help provide reliable care during those times to fit your schedule and your pet’s needs. I focus on keeping pets comfortable by sticking closely to their normal routines and home environment. In a client’s home, I follow all care instructions carefully including feeding, fresh water, walks, litter box or yard clean up, and plenty of attention and playtime based on your pet’s personality. I always prioritize safety, cleanliness, and clear communication, so you can feel confident your pet is well cared for while you’re away.

About: I enjoy spending time caring for animals, especially dogs. I love going on walks, playing, and making sure pets feel happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away! I’m currently a college student at Indiana University Northwest, and with summer here I have a much more flexible schedule. While I do work a part time job, I’m still able to make multiple visits throughout the day to give your pup plenty of attention, care, walks, and playtime! I provide a safe and caring environment whether your dog stays in my home or I care for them in yours. I have a fenced yard for safe outdoor time, and dogs will always be leashed on walks. I’ll make sure your pup stays on their routine with fresh food and water, regular potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and plenty of attention!

About: For as long as I can remember I have taken care of, rescued, and cared for animals. Through out my life I have over all had 18 animals in my house hold (at one point in time 8 cats all under the same roof) and I have often helped taken care of animals of family and friends. I have checked in on dogs for noon outside time and potty breaks as well as stayed at a home for as long as a month to take care of a cat. I have experience with pets in all stages of life and in handling animals with different temperaments. I have also given animals medications (from diabetic shots to thyroid pills to special prescription food) and I am very active in taking care of them. Currently I have one dog and three cats that I share with my partner, all of whom I have taken care of from early on in their lives. I am currently in between jobs so most days and times I am available. I do share a car but we always work together to figure out who can use the car when. Just let me know what you need and when and I will work with you to figure out a schedule that works for both of us. I am very respectful of other's homes, making sure things are clean and nothing is messed up. Whether your fur baby tore up a rug or I accidentally broke something, there will be full transparency on what happened while you're away. I can send daily text check ins and don't mind being called daily to ensure everything is alright, your animals are family and I will treat them as such. Any house rules or animal schedules you have set I will abide by. I will give your animal full attention and do what I can to give them what they need.

About: I have had a pet of some kind throughout my whole life. Whether it be my large, goofy Labradors, my small but mighty Chihuahua, or my lovable yet mischievous cats, I have experience with animals of all shapes, sizes, and abilities and I can assure you your animals would be in good hands under my care. My schedule for this summer is completely open as of now, so my availability is wide open!

I will follow your pet’s normal routine to the best of my ability, making sure they feel comfortable and loved while you are away. I will maintain a safe and clean environment while respecting your home and promise to provide routine updates about your pet.

About: I fell in love with animals when I got my first dog cubby at only 12 years old. Ever since then I knew I had a passion for animals of all kind. Now I care for my own 1 year old puppy and have since he was 7 weeks old. I never knew how important animals would become to me and to be with dogs all the time is a dream come true! I currently work at Texas Roadhouse part time 3 days a week. I am a full time student, mostly online classes. When I am not at work I am committed to taking care of your fur baby. I have a 1 year old Aussiedoodle who LOVES other dogs and would love to play with your furry friend if this is something you and your baby would be interested in. I am committed to making sure your home & pup are well kept while you are away!

About: I have been around all sorts of animals since I was a baby. I had a German shepherd growing up. Now I own a hound mix who is very energetic and keeps me busy which I like. While I was in college I worked at my teams stable and took care of my coaches horses, chickens, and her donkey. Since I own a dog of my own, pet care is in my every day life. I am a server at Dante’s house of pizza. Even with my busy work schedule I still have plenty of time to take my own dog to the park, walk him, and play with him. I want to share my love by taking care of other peoples animals. I can ensure them that their furry friends will be safe in my care. My dog’s name is Gino and he loves being outdoors whenever we can be. He loves going on walks with other dogs. He is really happy when I take him to my friend’s house to play with their dogs. My dog is very spoiled and gets to snuggle up with me in bed. I am responsible to take him to the vet when he needs his yearly check up. I make sure he is well groomed and well fed.

I treat every pet like my own and provide consistent, loving care while keeping owners updated for peace of mind. I’m currently in between jobs, so I have extra availability! I should be available any time you need me, but I will let you know otherwise. I will treat your animals like my own, and they will be under great care! I’m an animal lover and animals love me too!

This was the 2nd time Riley came over to visit my cat. As with the first time, she did an excellent job and she followed a few specific instructions to the "T." As usual, she gave me updates and sent photos every day. It is easy to see that my cat is very comfortable with her!

Taryn was absolutely great and would highly recommend her. I booked her last minute and she was very flexible all throughout as I needed to add additional days for Roxy’s visits. Great communication with sending photos and updates on daily basis. I would highly recommend and would definitely use Taryn in the future!
