Adalyn stepped in last minute when I had an emergency work trip. Even dealt with some craziness from my extra helpful neighbors during the introduction. She took great care of my babies and was very communicative. 10/10 recommend!

About: I am currently a proud parent to two cat, so I’m very well versed in their play styles and respecting their boundaries. However I spent my childhood with a loving dog who recently passed away. Navigating his senior years taught me that care isn’t just about walks or treats but about patience, sometimes administering medication, and recognizing subtle cues of a senior pet that may need a little extra comfort. Whether your pet is a high energy pet or senior pet who needs a gentle hand, I provide intuitive, dedicated, and delicate care that I’d want for my own. I’m currently a college student, but have lots of time to care for your pets! I’m available on Mondays and Wednesdays from 12:30 PM-4:00 PM or 5:30 PM-10:00 PM. Thursday- Sunday I’m available anytime after 7:00 PM. Whatever your pets need, I have it covered and their safety is always my number one priority. From double checking that every gate is latched and every lease is secured/correctly on to closely monitoring your pets for any sign of discomfort, ill treat your home and your pets with the highest level of care. Whether it’s following a strict medication schedule or navigating a high energy walk, I’m prepared for any situation!

About: Growing up surrounded by animals has shaped who I am as a caregiver. I had a cat and a bunny as a kid, and we always had at least two dogs at a time. Over the past year, my family has had six dogs, and I currently care for my own cat and golden retriever while also helping with my parents’ five other dogs. This constant hands-on experience with animals of all ages, sizes, and personalities truly sets me apart from other sitters. I understand animal behavior, routines, and comfort needs on a deeper level because it’s been my everyday life—not just an occasional responsibility. My care is calm, consistent, and patient, and I always treat pets with the same love and attention I give my own. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do; it’s something I genuinely value, and it would be a dream to care for someone else’s pets as if they were part of my family. Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine because my schedule is already flexible and structured around mornings. I work part-time at Starbucks on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays, mostly in the early hours, with only one additional Friday afternoon shift. I’m also a student, but I currently take just two classes, and my semester is almost over. Starting next semester, all my classes will be fully online, giving me even more availability throughout the day. This flexibility allows me to devote consistent time and attention to pets, making sure their walks, feeding times, and check-ins are never rushed. With so much open time in my schedule, I’m able to provide reliable, calm, and attentive care whenever it’s needed. I care for pets with the same calm, attentive routine whether they’re in my home or in a client’s home. In my own space, I make sure pets feel safe and comfortable by providing a clean environment, consistent feeding schedules, plenty of playtime, and lots of affection. I’m used to managing multiple animals at once, so keeping up with routines, energy levels, and comfort needs comes naturally to me. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and committed to maintaining the routines their pets are already used to—whether that means specific feeding instructions, preferred walk routes, or favorite playtime habits. I focus on creating a smooth, stress-free experience for both pets and owners by keeping things consistent, reliable, and tailored to each animal’s needs.

Mirte was absolutely outstanding! From the moment we connected, she was communicative, thoughtful, and incredibly caring with our home and pets. She went above and beyond in every way, sending regular updates and photos that gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Our pets clearly adored her, and it was obvious she treated them like her own. We came home to a spotless house, happy animals, and everything handled perfectly. Mirte is reliable, kind, professional, and truly one of the best sitters we’ve ever worked with. We would book her again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for their pets and home. Five stars all around!

About: I’m a college student who loves dogs and is looking for a side gig doing something I actually enjoy. I’m comfortable with all dogs and love playing with them, walking them, and making sure they’re happy while you’re away. I’m reliable, easy to communicate with, and will treat your pet like family! I’m currently working part time and in school but I have mornings and evenings to care for your animals! More than willing to move things around to ensure they get the care they need! I will ensure your animals are safe and feeling comfortable when in my care! If they need a leash, I will use a leash, if there’s a yard then I will still make sure they’re staying safe!

We had a tricky start due to some technical issues. But everything else was great! Our doggies were so much more relaxed when we got home than when we had to bring them to a dog sitter.

About: **I have 4 years experience fostering and training reactive, aggressive, and fearful dogs. I’ve seen many transform into well-adjusted companions under my care** I have lots of experience caring for and tending to older dogs and cats with various health issues like hip dysplasia and incontinence, and I have ample experience with puppy and kitten care, too. I am patient and kind even with the highest maintenance puppies. I fostered neglected/previously abused dogs with Carolina Adopt-A-Bulls rescue for over 4 years. I am very experienced with mitigating leash reactivity and caring for heartworm-positive pets throughout their treatment, and I look out for dangerous situations before they happen. I am well versed in canine first aid and wound care. I am also a foster volunteer through the Bloomington Animal Shelter. I do not currently have a foster dog. I am attentive, caring, experienced, and kind. I can’t wait to meet your pets. I am a doctoral student, so I have some flexibility in my schedule. I’m booked up until 6pm on Wednesdays, but have more flexibility the rest of the week. I can take your pup for walks around the neighborhood, campus, or the many parks Bloomington has to offer. I have a comfy dog bed for canine visitors to lounge in while I’m studying.

About: I am pawsitively the best. I have been around pets and taking care of pets my whole life my family adores pets, so we’ve always had them. I used to be the neighborhood sitter for children and pets, growing up during my teenage years and in my college years. In my opinion, nothings more wonderful than caring for our furry friends and making sure they are happy and comfortable and have the best life they can have. I am also skilled at working with elderly pets and giving medication’s including insulin shots and I’ve had to administer an IV regularly on one of my cats in the past who had diabetes and her pancreas was going out, with that said, I am very comfortable administering any medication’s that your pet may need. I am an entrepreneur, and I’m currently working on putting together my business adventures. Sometimes I Uber and DoorDash or Instacart, which creates an open schedule. I can work around my pet care schedule with my current obligations. When I care for pets in my home, I am able to take them to the pet park that is provided by my apartment complex. There’s also a lot of wonderful places nearby to go on walks. If I am taking care of a cat, I would play with the cat and keep him/her very comfortable. If I am taking care of a cat or dog in your home and you have a fenced in backyard, I will make sure your pet has time to run around and play and I will play as well with you furry friend or take your dog for a walk around the neighborhood.
