“Liz was awesome to have spend with my Kema! Updates regularly and sent pics during her stay with her. Made me feel secure and happy that I chose Liz for the extended stay with her. Came back to a clean house and better yet that she brushed her out for me. Looks like she went to a groomer! Thanks Liz, you definitely will be my go to for any further out of town trips.”
“Malika was amazing. We had a couple hiccups while we were away with security system batteries and some mail and Malika was gracious enough to be a helping hand beyond the house-sitting/petsitting duties. She also had cleaned to make sure we came home to a comfortable home after our flight. Much appreciated! And the animals were happy too!”
“This was our 3rd time using Kort I believe. I appreciate that I never have to worry if my pups are well taken care of, and they enjoy the extra play time and attention while we are away. As long as Kort is watching dogs and is available he will be our guy!”
“Kelsey did a great job, gave me daily feedback and photos of my pup. My house was so clean when I got home and the bed linens were in the washer. Who could ask for more!! I will definitely have Kelsey back!”
“Melissa did an amazing job with our dog, Rory. Rory had special needs and Melissa went above and beyond to accommodate her and make her feel comfortable while we were out of town. We received constant updates, pictures and videos and Rory clearly had a great time with Melissa. Melissa went the extra mile in every way and left our home in great shape! We highly recommend Melissa for any house sitting needs!”
“Alexandria, came out to meet our sometimes challenging pups, and they took to her calm energy right away. She was great with the instructions for one of our pups that is recuperating from a recent surgery. Very satisfied and the pups look forward to seeing her again.”
“This was THE BEST dog sitting experience we have ever had! You can tell she genuinely loves animals and had joy hanging out with our pup. We were in a last minute pinch when our sitter cancelled and she blew us away! She is our new “go-to” dog sitter!!! We got many pictures and texts. Our hearts were so happy while we were on vacation knowing she was taking such good care of our pup. Don’t hesitate in booking her!”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats most of my life and I am very confident that I can provide you and your animals the best service that you need I currently work early in the morning, but I’m always off around 3 o’clock so I can definitely give your animals as the proper care I will give your pet the love and attention that they deserve and I will follow any instructions that are given to me to a tee
“Sarah was communicative and easy to connect with. My house is probably cleaner than I left it and my dog had a great week doing all of his usual things--lots of outside time and couch hangs. Thanks, Sarah!”
“Shyanne did such a good job with our Gizmo. She was responsive, attentive to his needs, and he got lots of walks. We will be thrilled to use her again if we travel.”
About: After working in veterinary care, animal shelters, and a dog grooming shop, animal care remains my passion. Since I was 11, I’ve always wanted to be the go to choice that people trust to not only care for, but provide the needs and love for the their four-legged friends. Whether that is throwing the ball for hours, being the lap for an oversized lap dog, or having a slice of cheese or lunch meat ready after giving meds, let me be the one to get it done! I have the experience for puppies/kittens/senior animals, as well as the skills for medicating (oral, subcutaneous injections, eye/ear meds) and the readiness for any special needs or seizure prone animals. Best believe I will have you returning to a well taken care of fur-baby or pack and (more than likely) be ready to return when needed. I recently moved back here to Indianapolis and was doing quite a bit of pet sitting in my free time prior to. I hope to be able to devote my time towards my clientele and do my current schedule is open and ready for bookings. I plan on keeping it open as well to cater to any longer distance bookings. I live in an home with my 2 year old chihuahua mix Potato. We are lucky to have different dog parks that we go to run, play, and burn energy off at. Potato is an excellent playmate because he is quite submissive and will usually roll over to reveal his white belly, indicating that he poses no threat. When sitting AT the house the dog resides in, I am always sure to bring extra treats/chews, doggy bags, and toys so that no dog is left to become bored enough to make trouble or feel uncared for.
“10/10 She does such a great job taking care of my pups. She has done drop in visits as well as house sitting. Lots of updates and pictures. You can tell she cares about your dogs and voices any concerns. Clarissa is great! Will definitely be using her again for future dog sitting needs.”
About: I’ve cared for all kinds of pets, from senior cats and curious kittens to Great Danes with behavior challenges. I’ve potty trained puppies, taught basic commands, and handled reptiles and fish, too. I’m confident with big breeds, shy pets, and unique personalities. I know every animal is different, and I’m all about creating a calm, loving environment that meets their needs. You’ll get peace of mind and plenty of photo updates! ❤️ I work full time but have flexible mornings, evenings, and lunch breaks and I only have class on Tuesday nights. The rest of the week is open, especially if your pet is staying in my home. I recently lost my two senior dogs, so right now I just have fish and a whole lot of love to give. Caring for animals again brings me joy, and I’m excited to open my home (and heart) to yours! Pets in my home get lots of love, freedom, and comfort! They’ll have free range of the main floor, access to a fully fenced yard for safe playtime, and plenty of cozy spots to relax. I have clean bowls, toys, and a calm environment with no other pets (just some quiet fish). I also have security cameras for peace of mind and to help keep an eye on things when I step out. Your pet will be treated like family here!

Kirsten R.
“Kirsten has watched my two cats twice now and was so amazing!!! The first time was over the 4th of July and she stayed with them till late to make sure they were OK with the fireworks. My babies have never been happier. Usually I get the silent treatment for several days after I'm gone, but the two times she's watched them they've been super lovey when I get home and purring up a storm. It would be hard to trust anyone else with my babies ever again. We ❤️ Kirsten.😻😻”

Lawrence pet parents share their Rover experiences
Dean came by for a meet and greet and again to review the new meds one of our dogs was taking. He made sure we were completely comfortable with him watching our dogs due to one having recent medical issues. He kept me updated on his status and sent multiple pics throughout the stay. He really seemed to enjoy watching our boys and they also seemed to enjoy spending time with him!
Raven was incredible with Capone. He’s a very nervous little guy but she patiently followed every step and instruction to ensure he was comfortable and felt safe. By the end of her stay, he had warmed up to her! That’s something even my friends and family struggle with. She kept me updated with pictures, and I’ve never seen him so relaxed with a new person. I cannot recommend Raven enough!
