Cat Sitting in Homecroft

About: I have had cats throughout my 25 years of life. My family got their first dog in 2015; however, my grandparents have had dogs since 2012. I have given dogs and cats baths; as well as clipped their nails. I have dog sat for two family's for about 6 years. While I am not a certified trainer, I have taught my family dog to sit, stay/wait, lay down, touch my hand on command, and even to press buttons! I have open availability Monday through Fridays. On the weekends I run my own business and will have limited availability but will accept offers as they come. On Sundays, I volunteer at a cat rescue in the mornings. I treat all pets with caution, I do not want to make them uncomfortable! I let the animal approach me first. If the animal appears to be uncomfortable but gentle, I will sit on the floor at their level and allow them to smell me first.

“Taylor was great with our dog! Our dog is 90 pounds, a puller, and does not do well with other dogs. I always get nervous allowing other people walk her. Taylor did great with her! I loved all the pictures she sent. The pictures and the notes reassured me that our dog was doing well! I will definitely book with Taylor again!”

About: I have taken care of animals since I was a little girl. I have years of experience with dogs, cats, fish, hamsters, and turtles. Friends, family, and neighbors have relied on me to care for their pets. This includes feeding, watering, bathing, administering medications, walking, and playing with your pet. I gave lots of experience with senior dogs and dogs with disabilities. I have a 6 ft privacy fence and a playful gentle dog to keep your pet entertained. There is plenty of space in my home for your pet rome and play. The dog park is in walking distance and we go for walks daily. Our home can be a home away from home for your beloved pet. I am currently working but I have plenty of free time in the afternoon, evening, weekends, and during holidays. I am an elementary teacher and if I’m not working I am at home with my son and dog. I have a fully fenced in yard that consists of a 6 ft privacy fence. I will feed, water, and bathe them as needed. I can administer medications and any individual healthcare as needed. I can take daily walks and even trips to the dog park. I have experience with all sizes and different breeds.

“Margaret was absolutely wonderful!! She was a huge help when our sitter cancelled last minute, and was very accommodating about using multiple modes of communication while we were travelling. She took the time to coax our pup to eat (which she often refuses to do while we're away), and sent very detailed reports with lots of pictures. I felt very comfortable with her coming in and out of our house to take care of our pup while we were away. We would absolutely call on Margaret again in the future!”

“Maja is a great rover who leaves detailed notes and pictures. She always makes sure my kitties have the best care and that their area is clean. She reaches out with questions and strives to give the best care. I highly recommend that you use Maja for cat sitting.”

About: You can trust that I will take care of your animals just like my own. They will love me just as much as they love you. If you need to leave them behind, then no worries. I work full time but have time to come take care of your animals. I deliver for a third party Amazon company that doesn't start until 11am. I treat all animals the same, with love and compassion. If needed, I can come meet them beforehand to get them comfortable with seeing me before being stuck with them without you there.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 7. I was the kid trying to save injured animals. I’ve worked at a pet boarding daycare where I walked dogs, cleaned up after them, and played with them. I also graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Biology in which I worked very closely with animals including classes such as animal behavior, animal physiology, animal anatomy, animal psychology, ect. My main focus and animal I chose to work with was dogs as I knew I would eventually become a full time animal caregiver one day. I have a huge love for animals. I would love to help people care for their animals knowing that their pet is in great hands. I am currently a stay at home mom with 2 kids. I have a 6 month old and a 19 month old. With that being said, I am at home most of the time. I will follow the instructions given to me by the client when entering their home or when caring for their pet. I have a big fenced in backyard for the pets to run around in.

“Ellen is great. She is very reliable and gives me piece of mind when I'm away from my pets. She does lots of extras also, like getting the mail and watering plants. Thanks Ellen!”

“Marilyn was awesome! This was my first time using Rover, and we were out of town for several days. Marilyn made the whole thing so easy and even picked up an extra visit at the last minute, allowing us to extend our trip another day. She sent photos and kept us in the loop. I'll book with her any time we're away!”

“Carly was a great cat sitter for Crystal! 😊 She kept me updated during each visit with pictures and videos, which really helped us feel at ease while we were away. She was patient and sweet with Crystal, and I was so happy to hear that Crystal warmed up to her 🤍 Thank you again, Carly, for taking good care of our baby!”

About: Howdy! My name is Sydney and I am an Indianapolis native. I grew up with cats, dogs, hamsters, and bunnies. I started babysitting in middle school and then moved to overnight house/dogsitting in high school. I have stayed overnight anywhere from 1-10 days at many family friends and neighbors homes. I have experience with a nice range of breeds. German shephard (I grew up with a female shep!), pitties, golden doodles AND retrievers, dachshunds, shi tzus, pomeranians, australian shephards, labs, mixed breeds, etc. I am comfortable and experienced with daily walks, feeding and medication schedules, bathing (at Pet Supplies Plus!),and overnights. I am a very reliable and friendly person so you can depend on me showing up on time with a smile. I adore all animals as if they are my own. I even have affection for snakes, specifically ball pythons. I work M-F in a school main office so I am available on all breaks, evenings/early mornings, weekends, and overnights. I am happy to try to give bathroom breaks during my lunch if you are in Perry Township. I get two weeks for spring, fall, and winter break. As well as an 8 week summer. Safety and trust is very important to me. I will never unleash your dog in public, I only feel comfortable doing so if there is a secure fence that I know they can't jump. I send photos and text updates as often as you'd like. I follow rules and instructions to a T and have no problem asking questions if they arise. I will make sure your pet has clean water and constant supervision.

About: I have been professionally pet sitting since I was in high school! I've cared for everything from small professional show dogs to large family dogs and cats. I currently have no pets of my own, so I have plenty of love to give your fur balls while working with them! I am currently between jobs, so your pets can have my full-time attention! I go to karaoke pretty religiously on Tuesday nights, but otherwise can offer extreme flexibility on pet care, whether that's during the day, dropping in for walks, meals, and bathroom breaks, or overnight stays! Due to restrictions with my landlord I do not currently care for pets in my own home. While in your home I strive to leave everything in the same or better shape than I found it! I love spending time with animals, so even if your pet is crate trained you can expect them to be out playing with me during my entire visit unless you specify otherwise!

About: I’ve had pets my whole life, and when I started living on my own I realized they’re more important than I ever realized. I have a rescue pup who is very nervous but sweet. I am a graduate student in the home stretch of my degree, and I can use the money and the reason to get out of the house. I have a fenced in yard and a crate trained dog. I’m always good about on time flea/tick/heartworm and yearly vaccinations, as well as being educated in dog distress signs and illness signs.

“Lauren helped me in a pinch for a last minute drop in. She was quick to do a meet and greet. My dog Ted was very excited to meet her and enjoyed his time with her during her drop in!”

“Ariana did well with our fur babies. She would show up early and took several pictures throughout the day. They were definitely spoiled while we were gone.”
