Thanks so much Michelle, you’re my first choice every time I need a sitter.”


“Reliable and great with dogs!”


“Clara is absolutely wonderful and I’m so thankful to have found someone who can be a trusted cat sitter for when I’m out of town! The sitter I had lined up got sick the day before I was leaving so I reached out to Clara on Rover and she responded super quickly and committed to stopping by everyday for the next 9 days to take care of my cat Dexter. Dexter was wearing a cone during that time so Clara was attentive about how his injury was healing, whether he was having difficulty eating with the cone on, etc and gave me regular updates. I came home to a very happy and healthy cat!”

About: Hello, my name is Enyah. I am a lover of the arts and food. I have lived in Pilsen just under a year. I enjoy exploring my community and city. Visiting local cafes is one of my favorite things to do. I have one cat named fittingly Princesa. We share my 2BR apartment. There is room in our hearts and couch for four-legged friends! Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog lover since I was a little girl. I would stop people all the time so I could pet their dogs. I loved asking owners about their breeds or try guessing them. I enjoy watching Ceasar Milan and learning all I can about dogs and behavior. I believe that my bond with canines is spiritual, because I did not grow up with dogs or cats in the house, yet still developed such a strong love for them. About my yard I reside in an apartment building that does not have a front or back yard however, Pilsen has Dvorak and Harrison Park that are within walking distance from my building. Also, I am capable and willing to go on multiple walks around the neighborhood. My experience administering medication I am comfortable administering medication orally, however I do not feel comfortable administering injections. I work a full-time job, so I have a set schedule daily. I am willing to do drop-in visits during my lunch break or after work and daily walks during my lunch breaks between 11:30a-12:30p. I think it is very important to be consistent. I try to stick to the schedule and routine of the pet, but of course with a sprinkle some kisses and hugs.

“Had a great experience with Jordan!! Great communication and I think Marvin enjoyed their time together:)”


“Isabella did a great job cat-sitting my strange and nervous cat, including dealing with extra nuisance owing to floor repair! Appreciated the photos and copious notes. Thank you, Isabella!”



About: I regularly walk and train my neighbor's two pitbulls, and take care of them overnight when needed, I have found 4 dogs outside in the past few years, nursed them back to health and found them loving homes. While walking or sitting a dog, he/she has my full attention, the wellbeing of the dogs is more important to me than my own. I’m currently working part-time, so I’m open to walk your dog usually between 11am-5pm; message me if additional/ different hours are needed. I am available weekends and holidays as well. Currently not able to offer overnight pet sitting services because I still have my dog who needs me to be home with her at night.

About: 3 dog owner here, including a tripod. Two boys and a girl all came to us from people who could no longer care for them. Two were from former students and one from the husband of a colleague. I'm a teacher and want to keep a schedule in order to get out of the house more often during the summer. I would love to meet new dogs in the process. My dogs have front and back fenced-in yards to hang out and run around. They are able to roam the house all day. They go on walks twice a day and we have recently incorporated logic toys to keep them sharp.

About: i grew up with a dog & have experience with younger dogs & elder care for dogs as well! i love dogs with playful energy & dogs that enjoy long walks. i currently work four days a week. my schedule for taking care of pets would be three days a week, with mid day & evenings working best for my schedule. i’m available for drop-ins to play/feed the pets as well as take walks with them. i will emphasize my respect for your space & follow the instructions provided with utmost care in order to keep your pet safe.

About: I have had dogs as pets since I was 7 years old. From an early age, I quickly found my love for animals and gained a great sense of responsibility as I cared for my animals. Throughout high school and college, I have had experience in watching the pets of many friends, family members, and coworkers. I enjoy spoiling them and treating them as my own! Currently, I have a 2.5-year-old Pekingese named Petunia! I adopted her when she was 15 weeks old, so I have some experience in potty/behavioral training for puppies. My care for other people's pets has included daily walks/potty breaks, along with some overnight stays. I am currently a student in graduate school and I am looking for part-time work as a means of additional income! During weekdays, I will be available for the late afternoon and evening. I am also open to booking weekends (Friday-Sunday). I have one friendly dog living at home that would keep your pet company. If needed, I also have the means to keep your pet and their crate/food bowl in a separate space. I will ensure your pet’s area stays clean and dry and that they always have access to water (and food as needed).

About: I live in a single family home with a huge fully fenced in yard. I also work from home so the pets will never be left unattended. I have lots of experience with pet caretaking. I’ve fostered senior hospice dogs, puppies and rambunctious youthful dogs. I can confidently do it all while also using positive reinforcement to help train dogs and puppies while they’re in my care. If you’re booking me for dog walking, you should know your pup will not go on a quick walk but he or she will get a lot of mental enrichment and play time so you don’t have to worry about high energy levels at night. I work from home working with pets so I have plenty of time to give these pets all the care and attention they need. I’m pretty much always available to help. In my home, I provide a safe, pet-friendly space with constant supervision and a routine that includes regular potty breaks, playtime, and quiet time. I make sure the environment is clean, secure, and free from hazards. I follow any instructions you provide, including feeding schedules, medications, or special needs. I give regular updates so pet parents feel confident and connected while they’re away.

Maude C.
“Maude has been an animal lover for a long time. However, having moved to back to Indianapolis after college, we decided to live together. We had plenty of community cats in our neighborhood and had a variety of cats that lived with us over the last 5 years. Maude had special bonds with all the cats that were in and around the house. Particularly our roommate's cat, Smudge. Outside of his owner, Smudge's favorite person was Maude and he would often be found lounging in Maude's room with her regardless of the activity she commenced in. Just one example of many.”


Hope C.
“Hope has watched my dog Oliver many times, and I know he’s always in great care. She takes the time to walk him, give him healthy treats, and make sure he eats his meals. She loves him like she loves her own dog Petunia. Hope is a great dog mom and will take great care of your dog!”
