About: i’ve had cats&dogs all of my life, my childhood cat was my best friend growing up. i don’t think i’ve gone a week without being around animals. i have 2 dogs & 2 cats of my own now and they’re literally my babies. there isn’t a fur baby out there that i wouldn’t care for as much as my own 🫶 i go to school 8am-5:30pm through the week, so my evenings are open and most of my weekends are free! i accept some services in the Kokomo & Logansport areas. 🙂 i do not stay overnight so if you are needing me to do so i will charge you +$25 and if your home is over 20 minutes away from me it will be another +$20. please message me and everything will be discussed before actually booking 😊 i will not be keeping pets at my home because one of my dogs is not friendly and neither are my 2 cats but i will treat my clients home with the utmost respect, follow all the rules you require me to and leave it the way i found it because i would hope for the same if the roles were reversed.

“Marissa took great care of our cat Igor while we were away visiting family. He’s a shy kitty, but she got him to come out and play many times! She’s got great pet sense, and we would absolutely hire her again!”
“Camilla was great! She communicated quickly, even for a last minute booking and took good care of our cat while we were away. It seemed like our cat liked her so we’ll definitely use her again!”
About: I have taken care of my own pets and other people’s pets my whole life (25+ years). I grew up with a rescue sheltie named Kali and watched my neighbor’s cats as a kid. After high school, I attended Purdue University to get my B.S. in Animal Science and gained experience working with animals of all varieties (small, large, wildlife, laboratory, exotics). I became passionate about animal medicine and decided I wanted to go to veterinary school. I got into the Purdue College of Veterinary Medicine after only three years of undergrad and have been studying there the last four years. Throughout my schooling, I have gained 8 years of training in various small animal clinics as well as the Purdue Small and Large Animal Hospitals. I am Fear Free Certified for dogs and cats and am comfortable working with any species of any size. I am able to provide quality medical care to any pet such as oral or injectable medications, subcutaneous fluids, monitoring heart rates, respiratory rates, mucous membranes, pulses, blood pressure, Libres, Holter-monitors, and other supportive care your pet may need. I have received extensive CPR training for dogs and cats and have worked with pets in any condition you can think of (geriatric, neonatal, critical condition, post-operatively, diabetics, Addison’s, hyper/hypothyroid, seizure dogs and cats, heart diseases, neurological disorders, non-ambulatory, etc.). You name it, I’ve probably seen it before! I currently have an adorable and loving beagle named Marshall who is a retired research dog. I also had a cat named Sylvie that I rescued in Ohio, but she passed away very recently. Let me know if you have any other species at your home that need attention! I love all pocket pets, birds, reptiles/amphibians, rabbits, and other exotic pets. I also love horses, pigs, llamas, alpacas, chickens, goats, cattle, sheep, and any other farm animal you might have on your property. I am currently a part-time student and have a flexible schedule. I can work with you to arrange what is best for you and your pet’s needs, and will ensure that my calendar is updated regularly with my availability. I will respect the safety and wishes of my clients in regards to caring for their pets in their households or while out on a walk. I believe that trust can be established by listening to a clients desires and goals and devoting myself to helping the client achieve them.

Keigan E.
“Keigan is an amazing and loving pet caregiver. She has four pets who she goes above and beyond for. They always get to celebrate their birthdays, wear a Halloween costume, and have a stocking on Christmas. She makes them special food with vitamin's they need and makes them individually for each pet. They all go to the vet regularly and are in good health and happy mindset. She is also great with other people’s animals. I have a cat and she helped me buy all of the products and taught me everything I needed to know to be a good pet owner. I would trust my pet with her if something happened to me and I was unable to.”
