Leah was an absolute lifesaver! After struggling to find a responsive sitter, Leah answered our call immediately. I was a bit nervous because our dog, Ava, can be skittish and barky with new people, but Leah handled the meet-and-greet perfectly and asked great questions. Despite Ava not making the best first impression, Leah wasn't hesitant at all and accepted the booking. Within just three hours of the stay starting, Leah and Ava were already friends! Leah is a great communicator, met all our dogs' needs, and was incredibly respectful of our home. We felt completely at ease during our trip. We’ll definitely be booking her again and highly recommend her!

We left our precious Pomeranian with Leah for eight days, and felt confident that our pup was in good hands. We were not wrong. Leah was conscientious and reliable, getting to know our pup more each day, and they felt totally comfortable with each other after a short time. Leah was responsible and followed all of our directions to a T. She stayed in our home and took fantastic care of the house as well as the dog. We will continue to use her as our dog sitter and highly recommend her services.

Anna is so awesome! She took great care of our dog while we were away for 5 days. Our flights got cancelled and she was able to stay an extra day which was such a relief! She communicated with messages and photos everyday, it was so nice to be away and know that our girl was in good hands. We highly recommend Anna for dog sitting and walking!

About: Hi!! my name is Brynn and I am a junior at IU Indianapolis, currently studying event management. I’m a student athlete who has time off in the summer and will be living with my boyfriend for part of the summer in Charleston. I grew up a big animal lover, surrounded by many animals myself. I have had multiple dogs and cats throughout my childhood and currently have three cats in my own. In my free time I also like to volunteer at the Humane Society so I have a bunch of experience with the dogs there. I have most of my free time Friday through Sundays, but during the week I can schedule around my class time. Tuesdays and Thursdays are when I have my most time during the week. I love going on long walks if your pet is active, or I love to just sit and cuddle or play if that is more of your pet style.

About: Hey there! I’m a dedicated pet caregiver with 5+ years of professional experience offering pet sitting, dog walking, and drop in visits. I’ve cared for pets of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’m calm, patient, and loving pets usually warm up to me right away! I’m reliable, attentive to routines, and always follow instructions carefully to keep your pets safe and happy. I have a 17 year old cat of my own named Merv that I absolutely love. He’s a sweetheart and gets along well with others. I’ve had many dogs like 2 English bulldog’s, and a Black Lab. They all lived a happy life and passed of old age. I’m hoping to welcome another cat or dog soon. I take pride in providing compassionate, high quality care every visit. Your pets will be in great hands! 🐾💛 I do pet care full time, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve. I’m available for walks, drop ins, and sitting throughout the week, with boarding available most days as well. I only accept one pet family at a time for boarding, so your pet will always have my full attention and care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priority. It’s just me, my boyfriend, and my cat Merv at home, and I create a calm, loving environment. I’ve had two English Bulldogs and a Black Lab who lived long, happy lives, so I understand different needs and temperaments. I do not overbook and only care for one pet family at a time, ensuring a safe, low stress, and personalized experience. 🐾💛

Amy is fantastic. She goes above and beyond caring for your pets. She stayed an extra night because my flight was cancelled. I’m so thankful she quickly responded & went back to my house in about 4-6 inches of snow!! I will definitely rebook with her whenever she’s available!!! Thank you so much Amy!

About: I’ve been taking care of my family’s, friends’, and neighbors’ cats and dogs since I was 10 years old. I am a medical student looking to make some extra money and would love to hang out with some pets! I am in my second year of medical school, so I am busy but have significant flexibility to take care of pets since I can study and watch lectures from home. I am very flexible on weekends when I am in town. I live in an apartment in downtown Indianapolis, so would prefer to do walks and home visits. I could potentially host a cat in my own apartment.

Gracie is absolutely wonderful! She is very friendly and easy to work with—she came right out to do an initial meet and greet to see if we were a good fit. She has been just great with our animals, clearly spending a lot of quality time with them, and she has been very reliable and responsive with communicating. Gracie is a great house guest too—she left the house in pristine condition ! We felt very comfortable leaving our home and animals in her care for the first time, and will be definitely be using her again. We highly recommend her services 😁

So grateful for Amy! I had the most dumpster fire level few days before leaving on a trip and had to change a lot of my cat’s processes last minute. She rolled with it all so well. I felt so relieved she was so on top of it and he clearly loved so spending time with her too. He was well taken care of and I’ve already booked her again for my next trip. She’s awesome!

Jenniffer was awesome. Our dogs loved her and she took great care of our house. She took them on walks everyday and sent lots of pictures and updates. She coordinated letting people into our house and left it cleaner than we left it. She works from home, so our dogs got to go out whenever they wanted and got to sleep in our bed with her- like they prefer! The dogs were relaxed and happy when we returned. So excited to have a professional, compassionate person to look after our dogs from now on.
