Chelsea took very good care of Charlie and Max. We loved getting a picture of our boys playing ball. We will definitely have her dog sit again.

We are so extremely pleased with the petsitting services Kyra provided while staying overnight to care for our 11 year old 60 lb lab mix Macy who had surgery three weeks prior. Kyra is so very kind and wonderful with our dog and she administered Macy’s daily arthritis meds. I know Macy misses Kyra already and so do I. Do not hesitate to have Kyra assist with your house and petsitting needs. She’s wonderful and we highly recommend her!

Katelyn did a great job watching our two dogs and cat over the weekend! We were thankful that she was able to watch them on short notice (few days in advance). Katelyn was thorough in ensuring she understood their care needs when we meet ahead of time and and throughout the visit. I definitely recommend Katelyn to anyone who is looking for a local pet sitter/walker!

About: I enjoyed having cats and dogs growing up. As an adult, I have taken care of both cats and dogs for friends. I also worked/volunteered at a local shelter for years. working with puppies. old, big, little and traumatized dogs. I can run with those that want to. Additionally, I’m good at fetch and tug-of-war. I have commercial auto insurance coverage for your pet in my care. And I have uploaded a copy of my PetCare Insurance in my photos that covers potential incidents in your home, my home and in the park. I’ve given medication’s. I will follow your instructions to the letter and I don’t have an opinion. I have a lot of free time while I’m working on a book and don’t really need the money. I just would love the experience. I think the most important part is safety. PetCare Insurance for the unforeseen, but vigilance eliminates a lot of that. Pets are often curious and you need to make sure they’re not getting into harms way. When I take your dog for a walk, I won’t be on my phone because you need to be on the lookout for potential danger. I can take your dog to the park, around the neighborhood, for a drive or just stand in the yard. It’s all up to you. I will follow your instructions without opinion.

A happy animal is the best review a sitter can get but I will try to represent my perspective as well. Mia was a joy to have as a house sitter. My dog tends to go on a hunger strike when we’re gone and she was able to keep her eating in addition to spending quality time with her. Mia’s communication before and during our trip made everything easier. Looking forward to our next booking with her!

About: I have so much love for animals- and I know how pets are part of the family! I have watched the pets of neighbors, friends, and family for the past six years. I can take care of your pet in whatever capacity you need- walking, feeding, overnights, and overall care! I have pet-sat for dogs and cats of varying breeds and ages, as many as four animals at a time! Your pet (or furry family friend) will be in great hands when they are with me- I can guarantee it! I am currently working at Purdue University, so I work 8-5 Monday through Friday, but I’m able to assist before work, over lunch or after 5 during the week. And I have weekend availability as well! Im happy to help whenever I can! I am comfortable caring for your pet in whatever way you need. I understand that every animal has different needs, so I will care for your pet in the way that works best for you and for them. But I will always treat them with love and kind consideration.

About: I've cared for my family pets for over 8 years! I have always loved animals and I am passionate about their care. I have a lot of experience with cats and dogs. I have also volunteered for many years at a cat shelter! I watch over my sister's cats by scooping their litter and providing abundant love to them. I also care for my dad's dogs when I visit him by feeding them on schedule and walking them in a timely manner. I am available to check in on pets or let them out and feed them as needed! I care for pets by understanding how they react to me and others, and caring for them without overbearing them while taking into account their needs.

Zach watched our 9 “kids” for 14 days. Unfortunately it was not an uneventful stay for him as our kids were not on their best behavior! Zach handled a not so feeling good old girl, a bratty teenager and one in heat like a champ! If it wasn’t for him we’d never get to take a break! This was not the first time we’ve had Zach sit and it definitely won’t be the last. We would absolutely recommend him to anyone. Thanks Zach!

Jamie was fantastic with our two older dogs while we were away. She knew that we were concerned about one of them not eating so she paid extra attention and sent us lots of pictures. We were very pleased with how she communicated with us and her care and kindness dogs. We would be very happy to use her services again in the future.

We loved Ruth! She was a great house sitter and pet sitter! We appreciated her quick responses and flexibility. She was great with our dog. He seemed happy and well taken care of the entire time. She not only left our house clean and neat, but she took the initiative and did some things without being asked, like bringing the trash can in the garage after trash pick up and taking the bed sheets off and placing them in the laundry room. We hope to have her back!!

Kiegen is wonderful!!! Being new to the area and not having a sitter, she stayed in our home with my 2 high energy pups. Red coonhound mix at 70lbs and Cur mix at 60lbs. She’s very responsible and respectful of your needs, your pups needs and your home. We had our second booking and “the girls” were thrilled to see her again. She’s our go to sitter. I do not worry at all about the girls when they’re in her care.
