“Kelsey is the best! She is so proactive with communication, sends regular updates (photos and videos) and truly makes my life easier and my high energy dog so happy!”
“We are so happy with Ellen's care of our kitty while we were gone. She sent photos throughout her almost 3-week stay at our house, which let us see that Nazar was following his usual routines. She took the time to get to know him and let him decide when to seek her out (probably more important for a cat, and he's especially independent with new sitters). She even let him in & out, as we usually do, with no issues once they got to know each other. He was his normal happy self when we got home so he gives Ellen two dew claws up too! Ellen also did a great job feeding the menagerie of wildlife that traipses through our backyard. The birds were fed and feeders topped-off regularly, the feral kitties got wet food (and posed for pics too), and even the squirrels got their peanuts (I know, it's how we keep them off the bird feeders). Both my husband and I were very happy to have had Ellen housesit and care for our kitty. We will be happy repeat customers!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Maddie was excellent in caring for my dog over the weekend. My dog unfortunately experienced a medical incident when Maddie arrived, and she notified me immediately and actually took my dog to the emergency vet at 4am! Maddie went above and beyond. 5 stars ⭐️”
“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!”
“Anna always does such a great job taking care of our cats, dog, and house while we’re away. We used to be constant worriers about our babies and house when we’d go out of town, but we don’t worry about anything when Anna is here. Communication is always great. Photos of the babies are aplenty! And our house is sometimes better than we left it 🤣 Anna is great!”
“Once again - Sarah did an amazing job! She communicated well and took wonderful care of our fur babies and our home. She even helped with some gardening! Sarah is welcome anytime!!”
“Chloe was absolutely great! She watched our house and two dogs while we were away. She was quick to respond to all my texts and questions. She even sent me pictures everyday of the dogs. I felt very comfortable being away knowing they were in great hands.”
“We love having Emily watch Chop, and Chop loves having Emily over! She is communicative and sweet, and Chop always seems so happy when with her! She also left our place super clean which is helpful to come home to after time away.”
“Jada was absolutely wonderful with my two pups!! She tended to their every need. She sent updates and pictures with me everyday! I can’t wait for her to dog sit for me again soon!!”
“Oli was great for overnight stays with our family! We have three dogs with varying levels of intensity (90 lb baby, 25 lb little monster, and 20 lb sweet angel) and Oli did a great job winning them over and taking care of their needs. We're excited to have Oli back again soon!”
“We have a pretty anxious and at times, aggressive dog. Jacque is the first dog sitter we’ve ever hired and she gave us complete and total peace of mind. Could not recommend more!”
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.
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. 🐾💛
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.
“Latrice was AMAZING! My boyfriend and I had her watch our dogs for a few days while we traveled for a wedding. She kept us update to date with pictures and comments, both of which were super helpful. Interpersonally, she was great to talk to! Kind, funny, and thoughtful. We will continue to utilize Latrice’s services any time she is available. Hands down the best sitter we’ve worked with!”

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 😁
Maribel was an amazing housesitter for our dog Oscar! It is very apparent how much she loves caring for animals. She provided several daily updates and photos throughout her stay. We would recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will love their pet like their own.
Patrick is attentive, friendly, communicative, and responsive. He took the time to work with me in getting to know my sensitive, anxious, quirky pup. He kept me in the loop about how the stay was going, which I really appreciated. I was confident leaving my dog in Patrick’s care.
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.
Kayla was AMAZING! Seriously one of the best sitters I’ve had. She was so timely and consistent. She sent pictures every day (my favorite) and spent so much time with Winnie. I came home to a clean home and a happy pup, what more cold I ask for. We will ABSOLUTELY be asking Kayla to come back!!
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!
Lindi was wonderful with our fur babes! She sent pictures and updates throughout her stay and did a great job of keeping us updated. Our dogs have fussy diets and she was great about accommodating their needs. We’ll be looking forward to having her stay with our fluffs again soon!
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.
