Doggy Day Care in Hoffman Crossing

“Celsei took great care of my little buddy Theo last minute when he wasn't feeling well and I didn't want him home alone. She took great care of him and kept me very informed of all of theos activities throughout the day. I will definitely have Celsei be my go-to sitter in the event I need one again! ?”

“Kimberly was so kind and accommodating. Mia had a great time playing with her and her dog. She has a larger property with plenty of room to roam and play which was great for our golden. We will definitely have her dog sit for us again if ever needed in the future. Thanks!”

About: I’ve taken care of puppies and dogs since I was a kid. Grew up on a farm. Recent experience potty training and working with a new puppy I’m retired so very flexible and don’t need too much advance notice. I can adjust to your pets needs. Taking care of dogs/cats gives me much joy! I am home all day and night so can take care of your pets unique needs. My dog goes in his crate at night only but leave the door open. I would take your dog out on leash because I live in the country. I can also care for your pet in your own home, house sitting or drop ins, whichever best suits you and your pets needs

“Tawny was relaxed and good with my dogs. She wasn’t put off by my Shepherds size or talkativeness. On the other hand, I was nervous. First time leaving my dogs with a new sitter. Tawny thought to send pictures of my dogs with some new friends without me asking, which was a relief. My dogs were happy and tired when I picked them up. They had had a great day. They even got a very sweet card from Tawny’a own dogs. Very nice touch”

“It’s a relief for my husband to see the pictures and know that B is truly happy and is being so very well taken care of. Thank you both for all the love you give. T”

“The experience with Ernie and Ruth Ann (and Martha) far exceeded our expectations. Ernie and Ruth Ann are well-seasoned pet sitters whose goal was to provide our dog with a safe, comfortable, and enjoyable environment. Our dog was eager to go inside their home on multiple visits. They provided feedback each day on behavior and activities along with pictures and videos. They took great care in introducing and properly socializing the two dogs. We would gladly use Ernie and Ruth Ann again and highly recommend them!”

About: Hello! My name is Sarah Zarlenga. I am an absolute animal person. I couldn't imagine life without a dog or other animal companion by my side. We tend to have an immediate understanding and bond that is indescribable with words alone. That being said, I actually have 4 canine friends of my own. I have a senior, male Siberian Husky named Chaos, a Doberman mix named Alrik, a male German Shepherd named Arthur, & a Papillon/Rat Terrier named Little Guy. I have also cared for over 60 large, hound breed dogs at once on a daily basis for a dog rescue in Texas for 2 years, and I volunteered and worked for another dog and horse rescue with several breeds including huskies and pit bulls for over 3 years. I also helped care for the rescued horses, cats, & chickens, so I have experience with their care as well. Furthermore, I helped out at an Aussie breeder for about a year. I have also learned service dog training techniques, and am well versed in basic obedience training from the time I had my first Chocolate Lab puppy at age 7. I would be happy to lend a caring and helping hand to you and your animals when the need arises. I only wish to treat you and your animals as if I were an extended family member to ensure a proper fit for premium care for all involved! Feel free to send me a message if you'd like to get to know me further, and hopefully plan a care visit. Thank you for stopping by to become acquainted! Why I love dog sitting I have loved dogs ever since I can remember. We had a few dogs when I was a small child, but the one we had the longest (from 2 months old till the end of her life at 13 years) was a super sweet & intelligent Chocolate Lab whom we called Angel. Her and I grew up together. I would take her on walks and play with her all of the time. Later on, I lived with my dad and he got us a puppy who grew to become a 125 lb Belgian Shepherd named Buddy, so I would take him for walks and to play at the dog park. Now, I have 4 dogs of my own who I consider to be my fuzzy children. I love spending time playing with them in the yard, taking them for walks or bike rides, taking them to the dog park, and grooming & caring for them. I also give them nutritious treats (like vegetables) which they absolutely love! They are spoiled with all of my love and affection. All of the amazing experiences with dogs & other animals in my life have inspired me to work closely with them on a daily basis in order to cultivate a healthy and renewed symbiotic relationship between animals and humans that can grow stronger in each new generation. My experience administering medication I am comfortable administering medication in the form of pills. I also have a little experience administering shots. I am currently a stay-at-home-mom caring for my 3 year old daughter & newborn son. We take daily walks with our dogs. The kids and I would be able to take your dog for a walk using a stroller if needed. I treat the animals I care for with respect, and I am always paying close attention to their signals. I will make sure the environment I walk them in is safe and will always pay close attention to our surroundings to ensure a pleasant walk.

About: I’m usually the first person my family calls when they need someone to care for their cutie pets while they’re away. As a grad student and pet owner myself, I understand the emotional support that animals can provide! Pets are family members and I understand what it takes to look after family. I send daily photo updates and report back any information requested. I have experience maintaining training schedules for puppies. I’m diligent at following care plans and requests. Overall, I truly to enjoy connecting with animals and their owners alike! Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and considering me. I’m currently working towards my graduate degree and have a flexible daily schedule. I am able to stop by routinely (in between classes or internship commitments) to take care of your pet! I am available most weekends and weekdays. My schedule is subject to change in a few weeks with the start of a new semester. My goal is to continue the quality of care that your pet is used to. I want to reduce the amount of stress they might experience in the absence of their loving owner(s)! Keeping their routine as similar as possible is key. Meal times, walk times, crate/no crate, on/off furniture, treats, etc. are all things I try to attend to. I am open to specific requests your pet might need!

“Lucy is amazing!! Brody just lost his big fur sister a couple of days ago, and has been really lonely and suffering. I brought him to Lucy's for day care for a few days til we can adopt a new buddy for him... and I swear, he wants a new mom while we're at it! He doesn't even need me anymore, he's just enamored with Lucy. She has been so kind and he is so happy spending time with her. She's great with updating me throughout the day and matches his energy level perfectly. Couldn't be one bit happier!! Would definitely recommend letting your pets hang out with Lucy!!”

About: My fiancé and I have cared for dogs of various breeds, sizes, and temperaments, from puppies to senior dogs requiring special attention. Our experience includes feeding according to dietary needs, ensuring regular exercise through walks and playtime, administering medications, and maintaining a safe, clean environment. And let’s not forget, all the cuddles your pup will allow! Pet care fits seamlessly into our weekly routine, as both my fiancé, Renas, and I work from home. I work part-time and he works full-time, which means one of us is always home to provide attentive care. Renas shares my love for animals and is always actively involved in caring for the pets we welcome. Our schedules are flexible and fully adaptable to meet your pet’s unique needs. While your pet is in our care, we will follow any schedule/routine that fits your pets needs. We will also ensure proper feeding/watering and any dietary restrictions. Pets will have regular walks and playtime as well as proper physical and mental stimulation such as engaging in games or activities that cater to the pet’s personality and energy level. If games and activities aren’t your pets cup of tea, we can be great couch potatoes and cuddle buddies as well. Maintaining a clean pet environment is a priority ensuring their space is free from hazards. Any basic grooming needs will also be provided. Last but not least, we are happy to keep pet owners updated regularly through messages, pictures, or videos to provide peace of mind. (Pets are allowed on furniture and are welcome to sleep in bed if preferred 😊) Side note- We live in a two story home on a half acre lot that backs up to a wooded area. Our yard is not fenced in so dogs will need to be leashed when going outside. Our neighborhood is very dog friendly with tree lined streets and sidewalks on both sides. There’s also several trails nearby that’s great for dog walking and adventures!

“Ginger and Jesse have been so good with our girl! They are attentive, thoughtful, and provide a lot of activities so she stays active and has fun. We are so thankful for their work with Hazy. We highly recommend their services!”

“Jodi is the absolute best! I would leave my baby Toby with her anytime. She sent me pictures, took Toby to the dog park and on walks- and really treated Toby like he was her own. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Hazel, Jodi’s dog, was so sweet to Toby and wore him out! I’ve never seen him sleep so soundly. I’ll definitely be using Jodi again.”

Ashley D.

“You couldn’t find a better dog-sitter if you tried. Karen took excellent care of Maple and worked with him on eliminating an unwanted behavior. Maple enjoyed his time exploring and playing in the woods with his new dog friends under Karen’s supervision. It was such a relief knowing he was in good hands all day, learning and exploring and engaging the world in his dog way, instead of bored at home chasing dust bunnies. Thank you, Karen! Maple is one tired, content pup!”

About: My dogs are my babies. I have a 6 year old boxer. I also have three cane corso mastiffs I have had two litters with my mama bear cane corso. They are wonderful animals. I have two children 11 and 9. Boy and girl. I love dogs and animals in general. They go bye bye with us a lot and they let my children do whatever they want to them. They all four love to be outside on our 6 acres. Not too long away from their mommy though. We play with our dogs regularly and talk baby talk to them. Which everyone thinks is odd but we love them. I also provide baths and nail clipping. I’ve taken care of dogs since I was in the womb lol. I work m-f 7-330. I have four huge crates. I have to put my boxer and male cane up everyday bc they will chew or find something in the house to mess up. So yours will also be in there while at work. But when we get home it’s on!! Playtime, baby talk, itches and scratches and kisses. My dogs are allowed to go wherever they want in my 4200 sq foot home. I love on them all day my mastiffs normally like to lay around all day

About: Dogs are a marvelous source of companionship. I show them compassion and are attentive to their needs. I enjoy running with dogs, playing fetch, holding, and petting dogs. I have experience in playing with dogs, grooming, bathing, feeding, and walking dogs. While growing as a young child, my dad brought home various dogs at sundry times. I was the dog's main caregiver. My mother eventually would release the dogs because she did not like them, but I was able to build a solid experience and bond with them before she did. In Jamaica where my parents were born, their are many outdoor dogs roaming the streets. I easily befriend them and usually play with them and feed them. My schedule is flexible with me usually being available in the morning. If the price for my service is not suitable for you, I am open for negotiation. Call or text me. God bless you and your family.

About: I am a retired nurse with 44 years of experience taking care of patients, but also have cared for pets throughout my adult life. I am active and able to care for your special family member. I am retired and have a very flexible schedule including the ability for overnight care, early mornings, or late evenings. I live on the south side of Terre Haute with reliable transportation. I enjoy taking my pets for walks, even during the cool temperatures. I like to talk to and play with my pets. I love dogs and their interactions with humans. I have a very caring heart and a strong love for dogs.

“Gwen was so sweet & good with Izzy! Lots of furry friends to play with too! Gwen sent pictures & chronicled her day, which we really appreciated.”

About: I have grown up always being attracted more towards plants and animals. I have two cats and lovely doggo myself. I would like to help out others in need who needs a sitter for their fur baby(s). I myself know that it is hard to find someone I know who will pay attention to my girls and not just keep them locked up in a kennel all day. I have worked in a kennel before and know I would rather have a trusted companion/friend watch my fur babies than to put them into a kennel while I am gone. All 3 of my fur babies are certified emotional support animals and I would really enjoy the company of your fur baby just as much! I am currently have a lot of downtime to help out those in need. When I do eventually get back to working my normal schedule is Monday-Friday from 7:30-4pm. I normally stop at the grocery store on my way home from work before rushing home to the fur babies to let her out to potty. I do not go anywhere once I get home and its play time right before I give supper. my house is is pet proof. anything that can be chewed on is picked up, I have a lot of space for animals to play and move about, a unfenced in yard (I have a yard leash) that is around woody area and a corn field, and I have an extra room with nothing in it incase anyone needs to be separated.

About: I love all animals. I especially love dogs and cats. I have worked with animal rescue groups and I volunteer my time to help shelters and their efforts. I have had dogs and cats all of my life. Mostly large breeds. I am comfortable with any large breed. I am also very patient with dogs that are still learning. When I am walking a dog I am fully focused on them and do not try to rush them. I help reassure them if they feel anxious or unsure of their surroundings. It should be an enjoyable and healthy experience for the dog and for me as well! I would like to have several regulars that know me and are excited to get a routine going. Having a relationship with the dog and owners is important to me so everyone can feel comfortable.
