“My wife and I had Kay watch our 3 cats for probably the fourth time(can’t remember at this point). She took care of them while we were out the country for a week and a half. The experience was perfect as usual. She goes above and beyond to make sure our cats are taken care of and always gives amazing updates.”
“Tara kept my shy, nervous kitty company while my husband and I were out of town. Tara was very caring and my cat absolutely loved her! My husband joked that she would want to go home with her! Tara had excellent communication while we were gone and sent us several photo daily! We would love to work with her again in the future!”
“Brandie took care of our two cats while we were on vacation and was very good with them. She kept every appointment, was on time and provided good feedback online. We would definitely have her take care of our cats again, and going forward, walk our dog as our work schedules require.”
“Wonderful service. Don’t know what I would have done without it. My sitter was so nice and agreeable to any requests I made for my friends. Will definitely give positive review to anyone who asks.”
About: I have a great deal of experience caring for animals. I have a special passion for animals with special needs or chronic illness. I am able to administer pills, liquids and injections. I currently work a a veterinary clinic in town. I am available for weekend house sitting/ pet sitting. During the week I can be available mornings mid day and evenings to let pets out and spend time with them. I think it is very important to not only take care of a pets basic needs but also their emotional needs. I think a little extra time spent petting or playing with a pet can make a huge difference in a pets happiness
“Laura accepted our request for 1 week daily drop ins day before our trip! I cannot express how thankful I am that she went above and beyond to make sure my emotion kitty was taken care of! Will absolutely be using her services next time??”
About: I've taken care of family pets since I was 7 years old. Currently, I have a chihuahua-mix who I adopted in 2021 who is my best friend. I mostly have experience caring for dogs and puppies, but I have started fostering cats and kittens through a local animal shelter. This past month, I cared for and administered medications to two 6-week old kittens. I am currently working full-time, but I work mostly remotely, so I have plenty of time for playing with and taking care of animals during my breaks. I live in a pet-friendly apartment, and I have a large living-room area for my dogs and others to roam. There's plenty of space around the complex for dogs to potty.
About: I have a deep genuine love for animals! I treat them as if they were my own. I have a field able for pets to enjoy and a big track for walking. I have a dog of my own. His name is cooper and he is 4 years old. He is a border collie mixed with pekingese. I can always send updates when your pets are in my care. Available anytime. Ever since I was young I grew up with animals and would rescue them. I understand the safety of your pets and will make sure they are in great care so you have no worries. Food and water will always be available to animals and also on walks. I would love to care for your pet! I currently work a part-time job so I have a flexible schedule! I enjoy taking my dog to the park when I’m not working and he loves it. The neighborhood I live in is fenced in and is a safe environment. I am blessed to have a big field right in front of my home so my dog can run around as he pleases. There is a strict speed limit so I never have to worry about anyone driving recklessly and not see my dog. I enjoy making my home cozy enough for pets and make sure there’s enough toys and treats.
About: Though not professionally, I've taken care of my pets, my family’s, my friend's pets, and neighbor's my entire life. I grew up with always having animals around and my pets aren't just pets, they are family. Now as an adult, I don't have human children but I do have 3 fur babies that are absolutely my children. I birthed them and you can't convince me otherwise. If there's a furbaby at a party, that's where you'll find me. I love all animals and respect them all equally. Throughout my life I've had and/or taken care of dogs, cats, turtles, rabbits, ferrets, hamsters/gerbils/guinea pigs, and birds and know the nuances of taking care of each with also the understanding that every baby is unique with their own quirks which is what we love about them! During the pandemic I fostered a few different dogs through AAA and I loved it. The only reason I don't still foster is that I have a cat with FLUTD who gets stressed easily and then pees on everything and it becomes a whole ordeal. I work from home most days and only have to go to the office for the occasional meeting every once in a while so I can make my own schedule and am very flexible. Also, since I am a freelance designer, I do have lull periods in between projects which means extra time to spend with my fur babies and yours! I can even bring my computer and pup (if you and yours are cool with that) and work from your house or bring yours to mine for some good bonding time and/or play date if they are good with cats. I'm pretty much cool with and down for whatever you need! I have 2 cats and a dog all of whom sadly aren't best friends BUT all tolerate each other and coexist without any problems and can all be on the bed together just not touching. Agnes (dog) loves everyone and wants every person and dog to be her friend and would love to make new friends with yours! She gets along great with cats as well and leaves them be. (they're too spicy!) We have a big fenced in yard to play and go out for potty time and more toys than I know what to do with. Agnes is a super smart but stubborn Great Pyrenees that doesn't fetch or really entertain herself with toys (even as a puppy) so I've had to get creative with her to ease her boredom especially during the hot summers by playing different brain games with her during the day like hiding treats around the house (we call it "go find it") or playing hide and seek. If your pup needs playtime and interaction of all kinds and some good scritches, I'm here and won't judge you or your house!

“Absolutely recommend Grayson! She provided excellent care for our pets, offering regular updates and photos that reassured us he is happy and well-attended. Her flexibility with scheduling and genuine love for animals were apparent. If you're looking for someone dependable and caring, she's the perfect choice.”
About: I have years of experience caring for dogs of all ages, from energetic puppies to sweet senior dogs who need a little extra care. I understand the unique needs that come with each stage of a dog’s life whether it’s playtime and training for young pups or gentle walks, medications, and comfort for older dogs. I’m patient, attentive, and always focused on creating a safe, loving environment where every dog feels secure and happy. Your pet’s well-being is my top priority, and I care for them as if they were my own. My schedule is completely open, allowing me to offer full-time, flexible pet care. I’m available weekdays, weekends, and even holidays whenever your pet needs me most! I have a small unfenced yard and live in a gated community with plenty of grass. I also am a 5 minute drive from Girard Park which we can frequently visit!

Alexis Y.
“Alexis’s dream would be a life like Enya’s, surrounded by animals in a castle in Ireland. Luckily for pet owners in Lafayette, she’s local! At any party, she’s the one making fast friends with the pets, and remembering them by name the next time she sees them. She’s friendly, dependable and exactly the kind of person you’d want caring for your pets. Plus, you might get a cool pet portrait out of it!”
