About: If you live near downtown Indy and are searching for a friendly dog walker, I've got you covered! I have grown up with large Mastiffs and now have an 11 year old dog named Bella. In junior high and high school, I started my own neighborhood pet care company and always enjoy spending time with animals. I sincerely appreciate you trusting me with your pet! I currently have availability weekends and also evenings during the week. I can potentially schedule early morning appointments depending on the day and time. I like to remain flexible to best meet your needs. I will ensure the pet's safety and make sure to always have the dog on a leash and away from other animals to avoid any accidents.

About: My family and I have owned dogs since before I can remember, and I have helped take care of them, as well as petsit for others, since I was old enough to do so on my own. I am a generally calm and affectionate person around dogs, which makes me a good fit for more anxious/nervous dogs. I currently work on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, which leaves weekends and Monday/Friday open for me to house/petsit! On Mondays I am free in the mornings and after 5pm, and on Fridays + weekends I am completely free. As I have my own anxious dog at home who really prefers to be a single dog, I am more comfortable housesitting than boarding. I am adaptable to most dog schedules, and am used to both high energy and low energy dogs.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs, cats, rodents, and reptiles and love spending time with everyone’s pets! Please reach out for any and all pet care needs. I work full-time, but from home at least one or twice a week. My weekends and afternoon/evenings are very open and I am thankfully very mobile. I am very mobile so I can visit and care for your pets in the home they’re used to staying in. I am comfortable with dog-walking, playing outside/inside, and giving your animals the space they need around a new person. I have two special needs pets so I have experience with unique pet needs and am very capable of making sure I provide quality care!

About: I grew up with dogs and cats, filling my home with love and laughter. Now, I enjoy pet-sitting for family and friends, giving their furry companions the care and attention they deserve! I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide attentive and loving care for your dogs. Whether it’s for a few hours or the entire day, I’m here to accommodate your needs and ensure your pets feel comfortable and happy. I have a half acre, fenced yard and a dog that can keep your dogs company. My neighborhood is very friendly with dogs. Also, have separate rooms to keep them busy.

“Desiree did a great job, always so punctual and kept the communication, kept my Chicharron safe, full and entertained, also help with a few other stuff like feeding the birds and make sure the water was running on a very cold night. Gave us so much peace of mind that we could really enjoy our vacation. I will always reach out to her every time I need a sitter. And she takes awesome pictures!”


“Julie and her daughter teamed up to come over 5x a day and take care of our 2 older big dogs! She gave us great pictures and kept us updated on how they were. Both dogs need medicine 2x per day and she kept it all organized! It was a great first experience for leaving our pups home alone for a weekend!”


“We are so thankful for Andranise! She has been so flexible with our crazy schedules and last minute requests. Our dog, Lucy, loves when she comes over during the day while we are at work. We hope Andranise will always be available to let out Lucy!”


About: I am experienced with dogs mainly as a foster parent with many GSD rescues in Illinois before I moved to Indiana. I am currently employed as a front desk associate and veterinary assistant at Banfield Pet Hospital. I am first aid certified for pets through the Red Cross and am able to give medication and first aid if the situation calls for it. My goal is to provide care and peace of mind to you and your pet. I offer grooming services through my business as well and always provide a report card, goodie bag, and regular check-in's so you are never out of the loop. Any questions are always welcome! I am also always excited to celebrate a pets birthday and will make a safe for them to eat cake because I love seeing everyone happy and excited so please let me know if your pet has a birthday coming up! I am currently a full-time online student which leaves me plenty of time to watch, cuddle, and play with your pets. I also am very active and love to be outside so me and your four-foots will be getting our workout in every time. 🐾 We currently have a chainlink fence completely secured around the entire backyard and covered by a screen that is hard to climb. We do have a creek that runs along our property line but, it is unable to be reached due to a 8 foot fence. We have a trail that starts with a bridge over the creek directly next door and I love to use that as our daily walk path.

“Lorrie was great. I had an unexpected funeral out West and Lorrie was able to step in and make sure my fur babies were loved. Lorrie was super flexible which is always a plus when you're planning on the fly...”


“Sophia did an excellent job with our two elderly cats! One of them was just put on a topical medication, so we had only given it for a few days before our trip. Sophia had great communication with us about how it was going and was happy to try out different strategies for administering it since our cat was still a little wary about it.”


About: I have at least 12 years of experience with animals. Several years experience with family and friends dogs of all sizes and shapes. I do have experience with rescue dogs and cats. I am available evenings Monday through Friday and all day Saturday and Sunday. I can do overnight. And on Saturdays and Sundays I can swing by in the mornings and evenings and throughout the day to help take care of your animals. I am also available for overnight stays and long-term overnight stays. My cats have run of the house here at my home. I do visit with friends and family that have dogs and I have learned how they interact with their animals and I stay true to how they want their animals to be treated.

Jordan M.
“I've had the pleasure of entrusting Sage with the care of my animals, and I can't recommend her highly enough. She's incredibly kind and personable, not just with the pets, but with me as well. You can tell right away that she truly cares. Sage has a gentle, reassuring way with animals that puts my babies at ease, and she's been amazing at giving medications to my pets when needed, and is always calm, confident, and careful. Her experience working at a vet clinic really shows in everything she does. It's clear she’s not just doing a job, but she really loves and understands animals. I feel so lucky to have her caring for mine!”
