“Leah did exceptional walking & caring for my large dog who has some anxiety. Would definitely book her again without hesitation! She will make you feel at ease when away from your pet & also make your pet comfortable and cared for”


“Kristina has been a really great pet sitter fir my two dogs. I was never worried when she came over and she even cleaned up after them on muddy days. I would definitely use her again.”


“This is our second time using Sarah, and we're still so happy with the care and concern she provides to our cat, Athena. Sarah stepped in willingly when I messed up our travel plans and was able to sit for Athena at the last minute. Sarah is a gem, and we're so glad we found her! Drew & Reed”



“Mercedes did an amazing job with my puppies. I have a little pup that is hesitant toward new people but she warmed up to her in no time. She played with them and I was able to leave my new additions carefree which means the world to me. Highly recommend her so you also can enjoy your time away knowing your fur babies are well cared for!!! She cared for them as if they were her own!”


“She saved my bacon this weekend! I was out of town for Mother's Day, and somehow made a mistake and didn't book her for 2 visits on Friday. When I texted (because she didn't appear on video on time) I realized the mistake. She sent her daughter right over, and fixed the booking. She's always on time, and that was my first clue that something was wrong. Awesome pet sitter! Thank you!!”


“Janis is the only one I call to take care of my kitties and they all really like her! She comes when she is supposed to, feeds and scoops litter just like she is supposed to!”


“Kelsey was really great and provided me with photos of my babies while I was away. Great communicator and easy to contact. I appreciated her willingness to be flexible, as I had to cut my trip short last minute. Will def be booking again :)”


“Highly recommended. Kort was thorough and flexible with taking care of Teddy, was in regular communication with us, and most importantly, our dog absolutely loved him.”


“Minnie is a senior kitty with some special needs. Rafael always takes care of her with the same compassion that he would extend to his own pets. I know that she's in good hands.”


“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!”


“Malika did a great job with house sitting and drop in visits with my dog, Dolly! Dolly is a foster pitbull who was recently pulled from a shelter, and she can be nervous around new people. Malika helped her relax and send lots of pictures and video updates!!”


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 you a pet the love and attention that they need and I will follow any instructions you give me to a Tee

“Sarah always does an awesome job with our kitties, she’s been our petsitter for several vacations over the past few years. Responsive, friendly, and follows any specific instructions we have! Would highly recommend”


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...”


About: I've been around dogs for over 10 years, starting with my own family dogs growing up. I've always loved building trust with any dog and giving them the kind of attention and care they’re used to at home. My family owns small, reputable businesses that raise and rehome puppies which I’ve helped out with over the years. That means I’ve had experience caring for dogs of all ages, including newborn puppies, and I understand how to handle everything from feeding and "puppy school" to socialization and recognizing behavioral cues. I’m comfortable with dogs of all breeds and sizes, and I pay close attention to details like leash behavior, feeding routines, and what helps a dog feel safe and calm. What sets me apart is my calm, dependable approach. I treat every dog like they’re my own. I understand how important it is to know your pet is in good hands, and I’m always communicative, on time, and respectful of your home and your dog’s routine. You can count on me to show up, keep you updated, and give your pup the care and love they deserve. I'm currently working full time so my availability is limited to walks on weekends mostly, but I'm hoping to open up my time more in the future. I take great care when walking dogs or doing drop-in visits at your home. I always follow your instructions closely, whether it’s feeding, letting your dog out, cleaning up accidents, or giving meds if needed. I’m happy to stick to your routines so your pet feels safe and secure while you’re away. I treat every home with respect and leave things just as I found them. I’ll also send you updates and photos so you know your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re out.

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!”

If she agrees to do something, you can be sure she will deliver above and beyond what was agreed on. I would trust not only my pets to her, but my human children as well.”
