“I have used this app throughout the years and Nicholas is by far THE BEST! He is reliable, on time, communicates very well and leaves no trace. As a matter of fact, he left our place looking better than it was when we went away. Most importantly, our dog and cat were calm and happy - they were definitely in good hands. We recommend Nicholas and hope he is available for our family again in the future.”
“Emily and her little chihuahua stayed at our home for a week taking care of our dachshund and cat. She did a wonderful job with the animals and also took really good care of the house. I could hardly tell that she was here when we got back. We will definitely use her again!”
“Wow what an incredible pup sitter Stephanie is! We came home to a very happy puppy! The house looked great and she was so kind in sending us pictures of Otis all throughout our time away. We will hire her again in a heartbeat! Thank you Stephanie!!”
“Our Micki took to Kimberly right away. Our dog can always recognize a fellow dog lover. We received many photos and videos while we were away, which made us feel really good. When we got home, Micki was happy and tired from having so much fun. Thank you Kimberly for treating our dog like the queen she is.”
“Lilli is absolutely amazing! She stayed with our 8 week old puppy and did a wonderful handling him when he needed a lot of attention. She was so great at communicating and keeping us up to date regularly. She was also so accommodating. We could not recommend her enough!!!!”
About: I have worked with and cared for all kinds of animals including dogs, cats, birds, and common fish. I have been pet sitting for various neighbors and family friends over the years, and I’ve loved every minute of it. Also, I own a special needs dog, so I have a fair understanding of dogs who need a little extra care! I work part time as a non medical caregiver in various clients homes in northwest Indiana. This means my schedule differs from day to day, but I often have breaks during the day between clients. This means I’ll have the means to pop in to take care of your precious animals. While I won’t be boarding in my own home, I am very used to tending to people and animals in their own homes. Every client of mine will receive nothing but the best in terms of safety, trust, and maintaining a nice environment!

“My 3 month puppy needed some supervision while my wife and I were at work, so we go Ayla to house sit our little guy. She was absolutely amazing! Super friendly, followed our care instructions, and even sent both my wife and I and update. I highly recommend Ayla to care for your dog!”
About: I've taken care of dogs of every size for my entire life. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to pet-sit, walk, and play with their 4-legged family members for years. I am thrilled to extend my services to you as well! I am currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to care for your furry friend. I am available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and overnight pet-sitting any day of the week! As a passionate and reliable pet lover, safety, trust, and creating a comfortable environment are always my top priorities when caring for animals in a client’s home. Whether I’m doing a dog walk, a drop-in visit, or staying overnight, I make sure to follow all instructions closely and keep pets on their normal routine to reduce stress. I treat every home with respect and every pet like family—offering gentle care, consistent attention, and plenty of love. I believe in clear communication, daily updates, and building trust with both pets and their people.
“Brianna is amazing and took care of Theo at our home! It was nice to let him stay at home with her so he could have fun ,play and hit the dog park! She is our go-to person for everything and very appriciated!”
About: I have always enjoyed spending my time with animals. I got my first dog when I was in elementary school - sadly he recently passed away - but since coming to college I have been missing my sweet fur baby. Being able to play with and care for someone else's pet while also earning extra cash would be an ideal job experience for me. Getting a new pet really isn’t an option for me right now. With all the free time on my hands, and I would love to get the chance to spend it walking and playing with your fur babies! In the past, I have dog sat for other friends and family and I really enjoyed it and having the extra company is always a plus!
About: I grew up raising dogs, both taking care of the family pets as well as raising puppies for my grandmother repeatedly. I also have some experience in dog training I work full time, but only four days a week. I can always check on animals in the evenings and I always have Friday/saturday/Sunday free for pet care In a clients home I am respectful of the space that’s there. I find it easier to deal with pets in an environment that is familiar to them as they seem more at ease that way. I do my best to follow any routine an animal has to keep the animal calm and to make sure they receive proper care
About: I've had pets my entire life and have always had a deep interest in how to better care for them. Animal health and body language is a passion of mine and I can ensure the health and safety of your pet in your absence because of it. I'm currently looking for work so at the moment I have a lot of free time to take care of your pets. Until I find a job I have almost nothing getting in the way. I can easily take care of feeding, playing, and cleaning up after your animals. I'm very conscious of animals dietary restrictions and any necessary schedules or special routines. I can also medicate your pet if necessary. I have experience both with elderly animals and very young.
About: My name is Caitrinna. I am 32 years old. I have been doing dog walking since I was in highschool. My sister started doing it first then she slowly passed me the torch. I already have a few regular clients, and have grown such an amazing bond with both the animals and the clients! I walk dogs, feed both cats/dogs, give medicine, etc. I grew up with a lot of animals my whole life, so doing this as an extra way to make money is simply just fun for me. I get to meet so many different breeds in animals as well as different personalities! I can honestly say, when I do get that bond with a regular clients animals, it warms my heart how excited they get when they see me! I am available for long term or short term are. I currently left a job so my hours and time are wide open! I currently walk 2 dogs on a weekly basis. I take care of pets at owners home. It’s my goal to make them as comfortable as possible. As well as feeling as that their parents never left. Therefore keeping their routine normal as well as giving extra attention & love.
About: My motto is that it's my responsibility to make sure that each dog under my care is HAPPY and SAFE. Every day that I'm with your pup, I keep that motto at the forefront of my mind. I know how important dogs are to our lives, so it's my duty to make sure that your dog gets to experience the same kind of love while you may be away. I currently volunteer at the Toledo Humane Society to walk dogs and I have loved it. I am currently studying at the University of Toledo with online classes. I am always looking for more ways that I can get extra exercise and spend time with pets. I grew up on a farm and have so many great memories taking care of all the many animals we had. I miss my pets at home so I hope I can care and walk your dogs like I have for many years at home. Taking care of animals fits in to my schedule in the mornings of most days because I am not busy until evenings and I would love to use that time to take care of animals that may need a friend while there parents are away. I love taking pets on long walks where they can get all the zoomies out. I always start with saying hi and giving them a much needed welcome treat with some pets. I then will have doggy poop bags if needed on walks with some extra treats along the way.
About: Hey guys! My name is Amy King and I'm the owner of Eel Lady Aquatics. When I'm not busy writing and working with fish, I'm home taking care of our animals and family. I have always been an animal lover. Growing up, animals would just find me. It's safe to say that not much has changed into my adulthood. I am everyone's "go to," whenever it comes to helping our friends, families, and neighbors, take care of their beloved pets. The last year (2024) has been rough. While we did welcome a special needs puppy into our life, we also lost all three of our adopted senior dogs. Losing a family member, even a "pet," is devastating. Our hearts and home are a little bit emptier now. Animals are a blessing. We truly feel that they are genuine, pure soles. Helping to make someone's life a little bit easier, by simply showing an animal or two some extra love, is really no problem at all. One thing that I knew when I became a mother, is that I never wanted to miss the important moments. So rather than working for someone, I became my own boss. My schedule. My time. My family. My schedule offers me unlimited flexibility. This offers me lots of extra opportunities to helping provide extra care to those who need it. While our yard is not fenced, we live on half an acre in a very quiet neighborhood. When it's time to take our dogs outside, we simply go out with them. We currently have a deaf puppy who would love to have someone to play or even just snuggle with.
