1. Garrett R.
“Garett was wonderful. He sent photos of our pups every day, stayed at the house and took care of it (a real perk to know someone was loving on my boys daily just as we would. He let us know when he’d be out, he was so communicative and even fed the cat when she happened to run out of food a few days before we returned (she’s a fat cat!). The pups seemed to adjust well to him and the meet and greet beforehand was super helpful so they knew we approved of him. All in all we would highly recommend Garrett to our friends and family. He did a great job and I wouldn’t hesitate to book him again.”
2. Jordan R.

4. Brooklyn P.

7. Anna B.
“Anna is the best! Walt got an ear infection in our absence and he’s a NIGHTMARE to treat for that but she did it and it was mostly gone by the time we got home. We love her big for this and ALL that she does for us!”
8. Brianna R.
“Brianna was simply Amazing!!! She kept us updated on how Buster was doing and included pictures of him enjoying time with his sitter. She even fixed one of our TV remote issues we had during her stay lol. She was very professional and treated our dog like he was her own. Would DEFINITELY recommend her to anyone for care of their furbabies.”
9. Sara H.
“I actually met Rey, Sara's Golden Retriever, before I met Sara; just a couple of seconds sooner but, hey, who's counting! I met Sara in August of 2021 at an accelerated leadership program for incoming Ball State freshmen. From day one, her outgoing and caring personality immediately struck me and we have been best friends ever since. Her bond with animals is personal and loving throughout, she wants what is best for those companions that we share the world with. Sara is the kind of person who slows the car down and pulls over on the side of the road to make sure that the dog we just drove by has a home and is safe, and if they don't, Sara wants to help them in any way she can. Any animal she takes into her care will be treated as one of her own with kindness, compassion, and joy.”

“Mason was fantastic! He was tentative to all my Danes needs. He played, walked and fed according to our schedule. Mason has a great personality and my dogs LOVED him. Five stars are not enough!”
14. Sarah S.
About: Hello! My name is Sarah and I would love to care for your pet. I have been around cats, dogs, reptiles, horses, and more all my life and would absolutely love the chance to get to know your furry friend. I have an excellent grasp of animal body language and a calming presence that allows me to make quick friends with animals of any kind. My services are open right now for dog walking and dog/cat/reptile in-home visits. Rest assured your furry family will receive all the love, patience, and compassion they require. Your pet’s care will be a load off your mind while they’re in my care! Right now, Rover pet care is one of my top priorities along with a part-time job. I’ll be able to care for any pets for multiple hours each day that is required. While walking your dog I will ensure they get enough time to get their energy out, sniff their outdoor curiosities, and tossing around a toy or two wouldn’t hurt! For in-home dog/cat visits, I’ll be sure to play, feed, and spend time with your furry family to ensure they stay happy, safe, and healthy for your return. If any issues or questions arise I will not hesitate to contact you!

16. Mary C.
“Mary was great with Thor, our senior German Shepherd, while we were away for two nights. And he loved her too! She even took great care of our house.”
17. Payton R.
About: I am an avid animal lover and find joy in spending time with animals of all kinds, from cats and dogs to birds and farm animals! I am a vegetarian and love forming connections with pets and animals. My very first paycheck earned was after cat sitting for my neighbor at 10 years old. Since then I have worked over night as a house sitter/pet sitter, drop-in pet feeder, and have raised and litter box trained my own three cats since they were just a few weeks/months old. I am capable of walking dogs in all weather, playing with and interacting with animals, and cleaning up after the messes they can make. I utilize open communication with all pet families and owners. One thing that sets me apart from other sitters is that I have a very caring nature and have worked full time as a nanny for young children and babies since 2019. Transparent communication and love are my specialities! I am working part time during the week and would be available to provide services before 8:30 am and after 4:00 pm. I am typically pretty available on the weekends at any time as well. I am not able to provide pet care in my home for others. I am comfortable caring for your pet at your home and in your neighborhood. I have trusting references for my experience and professionalism.
18. Alyssa L.
“Alyssa is awesome!!!!! Phoebe went right to her which isn’t something she usually does with new people. She took super care of her with treats and walks and quality time! I highly recommend Alyssa!!!”
19. Stephanie M.
“Stephanie was amazing with our dog. She sent us frequent updates while we were away which gave us great peace of mind and she was a great listener with all of the little details of our goofy (and sometimes challenging) dog. She cleaned up after any messes he made and got him a variety of types of exersize as well as making sure he ate his food. She let us know about any problems and asked us how we would like them handled if she hadn't already taken care of it. She even brought a toy for him! Stephanie was such a blessing and we will be inviting her back if we travel in the future.”
20. Natalie E.
About: Hi there, my name is Natalie and I have been a dog lover my entire life! I am 25, a RN, and a newlywed! I have owned 2 basset hounds in my life - Claire, who passed away in 2016, and Mabel, who is currently under the care of my parents, as she didn’t adjust well to the apartment I moved in to. I have dog-sat for many families throughout high school and college, and volunteered at local animal shelters. I am looking to make some extra money in my spare time and get my “doggie fix” since my Mabel isn’t living with me at this time. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions. I look forward to meeting your pups! As a nurse and a wife, my schedule varies, but I’m willing to be flexible and accommodating as long as I’m booked well enough in advance. I will make your pet(s) my number 1 priority. I know from my own personal experience how worrisome it can be to trust a stranger with your pet(s). I hope I am someone who can relieve that worry for you.
