Dog Sitting Indianapolis

“Sharon was excellent. She dropped in to take care of my kitty over the holidays on relatively short notice. Kitty was very happy. Sharon was very communicative and helpful. Thank you!”

About: Never have I ever met a dog I didn't like. I believe dogs, animals, and pets should be loved on just as much as they love on us. I was the go-to dog sitter in my neighborhood for years and continue to put my name out there so I can love on some more dogs! I have not only dog sat but pig, cat, bird, snake, turtle, and fish sat. I have cared for foster care animals of all ages, many breeds, and wildly different personalities. I would love the chance to get to know your fur babies and love on them as they await your return! I currently work from home Monday, Wednesday, and Friday and in the office Tuesday and Thursday. Sometimes that can change - but it’s usually pretty regular. I can take them out for frequent pee breaks when I am working from home along with 2 longer walks a day or as needed.

“Gabrielle helped us out with a last minute out of town request to check in twice a day for our two cats. We received reports at each visit and our girls seemed to start to warm up to their new sitter by their last visit. Good communication and very prompt response. Would recommend and rebook with Gabrielle in the future.”

About: I have grown up with dogs of different kinds in my family. I have also taken care of my friends' dogs and fostered. I love spending time with them, playing and walking- it gives my life a beautiful meaning. I have a dog now, and I realize how it feels to entrust someone the responsibility of taking care of your best friend. In your absence, I will take care of your furry family as my own and do whatever they need to make sure they are as happy as they can be! I can also provide any medicine if they require any. I am available on weekends and holidays. But I work very close to my home. So I can come and check on your furry friend if and when needed. At your home and while drop in visits, I can look after your pet uaccording to your instructions. At my apartment, I can crate your dog while resting time and will walk them in adjacent areas. I can also take them to parks nearby.

About: I’ve been taking care of animals ever since I was born. I love animals. It’s a huge part of my life. I would love to take care of your pets. I’m currently unemployed so my schedule is pretty open. I do have 3 kids though so just message me to see if I’m available. More than likely I will be though. Please let me know everything about your animals. I will follow all the instructions you give me and will take pics while I’m there so u can see your babies.

About: Growing up with pets, I’ve been a reliable caregiver for the pets of neighbors, friends, and family since I was 16. I’ve cared for a variety of animals, including cats, dogs, and hamsters. I also have two (very adorable) cats of my own at home! I’m comfortable with the care, routines, and personalities that come with having pets and am able to adapt to each pet’s individual needs and routines. I work a full-time job, with many days working remotely, so I have some flexibility throughout the week. Evenings and weekends work best for me, but I can often accommodate daytime visits or walks. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and can coordinate ahead of time to find a schedule that works for everyone. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’m attentive to their surroundings and will always be mindful of their safety during walks, drop-ins, and visits. I also understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, and I’ll keep you updated so you know how they’re doing while you’re away.

About: As a couple who has never met a dog we don’t love, we’d be thrilled to care for your dog when you need a helping hand! We have one friendly dog, Nelson, who loves welcoming new friends into our home. Between our work schedules, one of us is typically home throughout the week. We’re available for both overnight boarding and day sitting, depending on your needs. We have a fully fenced yard and love taking walks throughout the day as breaks from working at home. Our screened-in front porch is another favorite spot for dogs to relax, enjoy some fresh air, and keep watch over the neighborhood.

“Jessica was terrific with my two kitties.. She is an excellent communicator and sent me pictures every day so I would miss them less. I highly recommend Jessica to care for your fur babies.”

About: I have had dogs my entire life. They have had all types of personalities which has helped me learn what is best for each dog. I currently have a dog with super high anxiety, so I am willing to work with similar dogs as I understand patience is necessary. I have also wanted my aunts 3 large dogs on several occasions! I love every type of dog and cannot wait to work with them! I’m currently taking classes full-time in Indianapolis, so my schedule varies a little from day to day. While I may not have the same completely open schedule every day, I’m still happy to work with you to find times that fit both my class schedule and your pet’s needs. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, house sitting, and other pet-care needs, and I do my best to plan ahead and accommodate different schedules whenever possible. I understand that every pet has their own routine, and I’ll do my best to work around their schedule and make sure they receive plenty of care, attention, exercise, and companionship. My availability can vary by day, so I’m always happy to communicate about specific dates and times to see what works! I care for pets like they’re my own by giving them attention, patience, and a routine they’re comfortable with. I follow the owner’s instructions closely for feeding, walks, potty breaks, medication, and anything else their pet needs. I make sure pets always have fresh water, a safe environment, and plenty of love and playtime. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and make sure the home is clean and secure before I leave. I’m also happy to send photo updates so owners can feel confident their pets are doing well.

“Rachel did so good with our cats! They warmed up to her pretty quick. She was also very communicative during the visit, and was able to accommodate us last minute when our other sitter was unavailable.”

About: I've been caring for dogs and cats since I was a kid, and animals have always had a special place in my heart. I have a gift for connecting with pets I'm meeting for the first time — even the shy or standoffish ones tend to warm up to me quickly. I raised my own dog for 13 years, guiding him through anxiety issues from puppyhood all the way into adulthood, so I understand firsthand how much patience and consistency can matter. I know how important feeding schedules and medication routines are, and I make sure they're followed carefully and on time, every time. Through pet sitting apps, I've cared for a wide variety of dogs with all kinds of personalities and needs — nothing has been too much to handle. I lead with patience, adaptability, and a genuine love for animals. A quick note on availability: between my work schedule and time with my daughter, I'm away from home between 9am and 6pm daily. I'm a great fit for pets who are comfortable being on their own during that window, and I'll make sure they're well cared for and comfortable before and after. I'm also proud to be LGBTQ+ friendly and welcome clients from all walks of life. Building trust is everything to me — I want you to feel confident that your pet (and your home, if I'm house sitting) is in caring, capable hands. I am generally open to anything my time slots provide. Overnights should not be an issue but will need to be talked about prior to booking. I do NOT have have a place to house dogs so currently I am only a house sitter. Please let me know if you have any questions! I used to care for 2 dogs and a cat while i was with my wife but now i just have the cat. The cat is very much self sufficient, although she does revel in all the pets that we have to offer, but the dogs take more work! I love to take dogs on walks in the various parks around where i am living and will do the same for yours! If you have favorite spot let me know about it!! I can incorporate a walk there for your pups if you would like!

About: I was born with pets, cats and dogs. My best friend, a vet tech, has trusted me with her elderly husky and the 2 young ones. All adopted! I loved it so I adopted my own Husky, Kingston (that’s him in my photo). I know training is for the pet AND the human. Exercise, affection, and discipline are keys for a happy pet life, not aggression or cruelty. Pet health and grooming are second nature to me, and I have access to a licensed veterinary opinion in case of emergencies. Ask me anything if concerned, I want to be friends with your fur babies! I work 8 hour days during the week, off by 5. That leaves my availability at evenings and weekends for now. Pet has a LOT of energy? We’re gonna burn it! I go for walks 30 minutes twice daily, morning and evening. Feeding times are specific to the dog so I communicate with you on their routine so they can continue it and still fit in at puppy daycare! I have a two story duplex in Irvington, where I’m surrounded by parks and the Pleasant Run Trail. Pet has a LOT of energy? We’re gonna burn it! I go for walks since the husky boy needs it, and he is trained and friendly and likes to play with friends if allowed so he’s as excited as I am! We take 30 minute walks twice daily, morning and evening. We go to the the dog park (broad ripple or clay terrace) on Sundays. Feeding whenever convenient for the pet I’m watching, some dietetic pets need a strict timeline so we stick to that. Playtime when they are ready to play, but also an organized routine of games and training during that time. Whether I come to you or they come to me, the environment and schedule is pet friendly.

“Bibiana was so kind meeting Cruz 🐾 today! He loved her! I’m so glad I know I have someone so kind and reliable to help me with Cruz when I need it. I’m sure Cruz will be so excited to see his new friend in a few days!”

About: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember. I grew up with a dog and recently became a dog owner myself, and I quickly realized just how much joy, comfort, and companionship they bring into our lives. I’m completely obsessed with my own pup and know firsthand how important it is to have someone trustworthy, caring, and dependable when you can’t be there. There was a time when I needed someone to help care for my pup, and I remember how much that support meant to me. Now, I’d love to be that person for other pet parents. Whether your dog needs a walk, some extra attention, or simply a little companionship while you’re away, I’ll treat them with the same patience, care, and affection I’d want for my own. I’m excited to get to know each pup’s unique personality and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while they’re in my care. 🐾 With a flexible schedule, I have plenty of time to give your pup the walks, attention, and love they deserve! 🐾 I know how much peace of mind it brings to have someone you trust care for your dog, and I’d love to be that person for you and your pup. My pup is crate-trained and has his own comfortable space for when I’m not home, but otherwise he’s free to roam around the house as he pleases. We also have a backyard where he can safely enjoy some fresh air, play, and explore. I want any dog staying with us to feel comfortable, relaxed, and right at home.

“Zoe went above and beyond! She took our pup on walks, played fetch with him, and kept us updated each visit. We will definitely be working with her again.”

About: I have been obsessed with dogs since I was little. Always wanting to have one, pet one, and just interact with one. I currently have a GSD, who is a handful, that I love dearly. I’m currently working 12 hour shifts with a rotating schedule. My available days change every week, but I know my schedule very far out in advance. I am very mindful of doors being closed all the way before and after taking your furry baby for a walk. Will provide them with water and treats before and after. I can also put them back into their crate before leaving if required.

“My Koi is happy to see Christina every time she comes over to care for him. She’s a wonderful caregiver!”
