About: I have been around animals my whole life. My family and I have always had pets in the house. Currently we have 7 pets- 5 cats and 2 dogs. I am confident while handling all sorts of animals. I can make almost any animal love me. I will play with your dogs, let them run around and play outside, and if they enjoy, will play with them outside as well! You can expect your pets to be well taken care of. I will feed them on time, walk them, give them treats and make them feel loved while you are away. I have an online job so my schedule is pretty flexible! I am free most times of the day, so if your dog needs to get a little energy out with a mid-day walk, let me know! :) I am also a photographer so would love to send pictures of your fur babies to you while you are away. I love meeting new people and would love to work with you and your family to ensure your pets are well taken care of while you are away! I'm currently working part time online so I have plenty of time to play with your pups or kitties! I can make most schedules work! One thing I ask is to be made aware of any pineapple scented items(soaps, air fresheners, food, etc.) before entering the home as I am severely allergic. I will be sure to feed and play with your pets according to their regular schedule. If they have certain bed times/times to wake up I will be sure to follow all rules!

About: I’ve been around cats and dogs my whole life, so caring for them feels second nature to me. From a young age, I started helping take care of family and friends’ pets whether it was feeding, walking, playing, or just giving them some love and company while their owners were away. I’m comfortable with all kinds of personalities, from energetic puppies to independent cats and gentle seniors. I know how important it is to keep pets safe, happy, and on their usual routine, and I treat every animal I watch with the same care and attention I give my own. I am currently a student athlete at Indiana here all summer with my team. I did graduate last semester, so I have no classes or other responsibilities after my workouts in the mornings. I have all day after to get pets all the care and love they need without being rushed for time. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, safety, trust, and comfort are always my top priorities. I create a calm, pet friendly environment where animals can feel at ease and stick to their regular routines as closely as possible. In your home, I respect your space and follow your instructions carefully making sure feedings, walks, medications, and playtime all happen just the way your pet is used to. In my own home, I provide a clean, secure space with plenty of love, attention, and room to relax or play, depending on your pet’s needs. I always keep a close eye on their behavior and well being, and I’ll stay in touch with updates so you can feel confident your FAMILY is in caring, capable hands.


About: Having grown up with a variety of different dogs, and volunteering at shelters, I work well with all kinds of dogs! I have stayed overnight with pets in their own home, but have also just checked in on dogs while their owner was away. I love playing outdoors or going on walks with the pups, and can do short and long distances! During the week I work part-time in the evenings at a local dance studio, but am generally open during the morning and day time. My schedule in the evening is a maximum of four hours, so I could easily check on the animals before and after my evening shift. Always allowing the animal to warm up to me, I have learned to be patient with extremely shy dogs and letting them approach me first. In my own home, I have a teacup yorki and a basenji mix and have loved having both a smaller pup and medium sized dogs. Throughout my time dog sitting, I have learned to respect the animals space in their own home, as some can be particular on which areas they allow guests. I love allowing the dog to get out some of their playful energy at dog parks or simply snuggling up on the couch with pups. I also have my own transportation, if the owners prefer or request I take their pet to the local dog park!

About: Hi! I would love to get to know your pets and give them all of the cuddles <3 I have experience cat and dog sitting for family and friends. My family dogs have a special place in my heart because they were adopted from our local animal shelter. They are between the ages of 8yrs and 10yrs. So, I've gotten transitional experience into taking care of senior dogs. The littlest of the two was diagnosed as diabetic 3 years ago. I am well versed in administering under-the-skin injections and oral medications. Besides my family dogs, I have a 1-year-old cat at home! She is the light of my life and is still full of kitten energy. As a graduating senior, I am quickly approaching an open-schedule. I work with the university, but my shifts are incredibly flexible. Additionally, I make it a point to not work the weekends, so I have 100% availability. My family dogs are accustomed to a fenced-in yard and a doggy door. However, while traveling, I am familiar with maintaining a schedule to avoid accidents and comfort for our animals. My cat, Mali, is a fully indoor cat and on Revolution Plus.


About: I have taken care of a variety of dogs since I was young, I also own one myself so I understand the responsibilities needed daily. I have a very open schedule over the summer. I work a couple days a week at the hospital but am flexible and available most other times. I have a playful dog of my own who enjoys having a buddy of his own, is also crate trained and I can easily crate your dog if needed. I have a fenced yard for safe outdoor play, and am happy to take dogs on walks, visit dog parks, or simply spend time playing with them at your home! Whatever makes your pup feel most comfortable and most cared for.

“Great communication and kept me up to date with photos 🫶🏼”


About: I have worked in a dog kennel as well as volunteered for multiple years!!! I have dealt with a variety of animals in their own homes as well as mine, and have raised my own dog as well!! I currently work part time with very few hours, so I am always openly available for your animal!!! I make it a priority to keep your animal feeling safe and happy just as they would be with you! I can easily crate your dog if needed and live somewhere with a large yard for playing and keeping them entertained!! I also have plenty of space and things for them to do!!

About: Since I was young, I’ve always had at least one dog in the house. Now, I have one cat and two dogs that I adore and walk frequently. I also am the go-to contact amongst friends whenever someone needs a petsitter or a little extra help with their furry friends I’m currently a student at IU and won’t have a bunch of free time during weekdays but I will do by best to work around my schedule based on yours and your pets needs! When at your house, I will make sure to follow your own guidelines and make sure your pet gets plenty of play time and stimulation and will feed the at the appropriate times. I will treat your pets like my own

About: I've had my 2 cats and dogs for 12 years and adore them! I make new feline and canine friends easily so I'm happy to sit/walk yours as well! My work schedule is light right now so I have a lot of availability for sittings and walks and have done this a lot for friends. I am open to your specific directions for caring for your animals and am flexible. Write down any specific details and I will follow them. I am trustworthy and have house sat and dog walked for many friends and neighbors! People count on me!

About: From the day I was born, my family always had multiple dogs and cats. This cultivated a love for animals that further blossomed when I worked as an animal care technician at a pet daycare for four years. I learned how to work with all kinds of dogs/cats with all kinds of needs (medications, reactivity, high energy, you name it!). Now, I have an extremely flexible schedule throughout the week that I’m looking to fill with any pet care needs you need! I would love the opportunity to care for your pet/s the way I care for my own - with love, patience, and a lot of fun! My weekly schedule is wide open with few exceptions over the summer! In August 2025 I will start medical school, but my weekly schedule will still have few mandatory obligations and I will still be very flexible to suit your pet care needs. When I’m caring for a pet in your home, the safety of your pet and your home are of the utmost importance to me. I take great care to ensure a client’s home is the same as they left it and their pet is properly cared for. Questions or concerns about either the pet or home are always immediately brought to my clients’ attention!

About: I've been lucky enough to share most of my life with dogs, as well as a cat that worshiped me for about 15 years. I'm able to quickly form connections with animals of all kinds, and have rarely encountered a dog or cat that didn't like me, including several deemed "difficult" by others. I also have experience working in a veterinary clinic that offered boarding services. My time spent with my pets is the most rewarding part of my life, and neighbors often comment on how lucky my dogs are to have me. I'm currently looking for work and have put in applications at pet boarding and daycare facilities. In my last job, I provided support for adults with developmental disabilities, but the work was a little bit too emotionally intense for me, despite it being highly rewarding. My dogs are always on my mind, and I walk them at least three times a day. My schedule is currently completely open, and I'd love to use my time caring for your pets! I walk my dogs, including my brother's dog Rosie,at least three times a day and they receive plenty of engagement with other dogs in the neighborhood. Lila can be difficult with some smaller dogs, so boarding wouldn't really be possible at this time.

“Excellent, highly communicative, did not late cancel/showed up on time. Treated our animal with respect and kindness, very personable. Highly recommended, she saved us in a pinch!”


About: Over the past year, I have taken care and loved on many cats and dogs. Whether it be for family friends or coworkers, I am always happy to spend time with their furry friends. I hope to share my love for animals with those in need of a sitter and look forward to connecting! I am currently an assistant basketball coach at Fisher’s High School. We will be practicing every day of the week where I will need to be free from around 2:15-5:45. I am available at all times other than that! I will be very respectful to your home and your wishes as to how to care for your pet. As of now, I live with roommates so I am unable to have pets in my own home.

About: I’ve cared for animals of all kinds for 20+ Years. Mostly horses, dogs and cats. My friends, family and colleagues have relied on me to help with daily essential needs (grooming/bathing, exercise, quality cuddles etc). I really enjoy learning and bonding with each animal and getting to know their different personalities. I am currently working part time to help my mother while she is on dialysis. I thought this would be a great opportunity for me and my community, as I have the extra time on certain availability days selected. I try to keep to a schedule in my own home. Our family dog gets let out at 6am, fed at 8am, outside time 8:15am, morning nap, walks from 10am-11:30am, playtime/snuggles 12pm-2pm, outside time, 3pm-4pm walk, 5pm-6pm dinner, outside time, 8-9 bedtime.

About: I’ve had animals since I could walk and talk. Ranging from a wide variety such as Dogs, Cats, Fish, Ferrets, Hermit Crabs, Guinea Pigs, Ants, Geckos, and I’ve been help on my papaws farm. If you hire me you’re not just getting someone looking for a paycheck and trying to get in/out. You are getting someone who genuinely cares for all animals. Pets aren’t not “pets” to me as I’m sure yourself understands. They are family and I treat them as such. When you trust in me with your pet, in my eyes you’re trusting me with your kids. If you want someone to be there for your pet when you’re away that is gonna make them feel as if they aren’t alone like you are still there then I’m the way to go. Finding this app will end up being my destiny making a living getting to meet animals and take care of them is a dream come true. Be warned though when my time is done with your pet it’s gonna be sad I haven’t stopped by in a while and you’re gonna be asking me to stop by for a visit. So if you can not judge a book by its cover and want your pet to feel like you’re still there when you can’t be then I’m you’re guy. I’ve recently been let go of my employment due to a childcare situation. As this is the first time since I turned 14 not having a steady job I’ve been lost with so much free time. Outside of my kids every other week and doing odd jobs to make ends meet I have been like lost soul until a friend helped me stumble upon this app. I am available almost everyday 90% of the day. I am used to flipping my sleep schedule so whatever needs your pet has I can make work. I adopted 2 dogs for my kids when they turned 3 so they could grow up around animals and now are learning responsibilities of owning pets. So even with my kids around pets are in good hands but also I have a very good network of friends so if I need to come and show your pet some love, attention, and due my responsibilities no issues here. I take my kids to and from school so getting out and about for pet needs is no issues. I don’t have a busy life so if you want a person who’s willing to go above and beyond and sit with your pet like you are still there it’s not a problem. If you need a place for your pet no issues here. I have 3 dogs in house in total. I have fish and guinea pigs as well. I have a very large yard for your pet to play if it likes to be outside. Sadly I do not have a fenced in yard due to buying my home during the skyrocket in prices of things during Covid. My dogs are crate trained as well as open to roam free. I do have leads for big and small dogs if going out they aren’t good with commands because they like to explore and see nature “my dogs”. That being said if they like to run and play and enjoy the outdoors I got plenty of yard for them. If you are worried let me put you at ease. My dogs have had plenty of doggy play dates and never had an issue with meeting new company while making friends. Still if that’s not enough to ease you my dogs are good with being in a crate and or outside when needed. My other pets are very well safeguarded so no chance of animal interaction. My kids have their own room and my home inside has plenty of room to roam so whatever your pet needs can be accommodated.

“Wonderful job as always. She was available on one days notice to come let my dog out. Does a great job and is very friendly. I highly recommend her and will continue to use her. Thank you,”

7. Katherine-Marie N.
“Kat has watched our dogs, 3-year-old and 10-year-old Chocolate Labs-many times. Kat is reliable, kind, dependable, and trust-worthy. She has stayed over for one or two days at a time, up to a week at a time and we have nothing but wonderful things to say about her and her care of our dogs. They LOVE her and she always sends us pictures of them snuggling up together. I’ve known Kat for several years and not only is she great with pets, but she’s an amazing human being.”


8. Katherine F.
“Katie is truly amazing with animals! She’s incredibly loving and gentle with our 14-month-old kitty cat, Mali — always cuddling with her, playing, and making sure she feels safe and adored. Katie has two dogs back home, Gracie and Luna, who absolutely adore her, and she treats them like her babies. She’s constantly feeding and petting the neighborhood cats, and she lights up every time she sees an animal. Her phone is filled with thousands of photos of her furry friends — each one loved like family. Katie is kind, reliable, and has a natural, heartfelt connection with animals. You can trust her completely to care for your pets as if they were her own.”

12. Claire S.
“Claire has dogsat for us multiple times to look after my very timid pup Penny.

13. Elliot J.
“I’ve know Elliot for a few years. He’s always shown a genuine interest in my dog, asking how he is and asking to see photos.

Most importantly, PopTart loves to see Elliot. I highly recommend Elliot.”


14. Keller V.
“Keller is the ultimate pet parent. He is the dad to a lovable ball of energy named Bonnie. He rescued her from the shelter and has been a wonderful trooper as she had some health struggles. He always makes sure she is getting the top care that she needs. I would also have him walk my dog on nights that I would be gone. I am very hesitant to let others walk him, but I had no worries with Keller. He is an amazing friend and would be an awesome addition to the Rover world!!”
