Pet Sitting in Linn Grove

“Tessa is a gem. Loki loved her during the “meet and greet”, as she was playing with him and petting him. She followed our instructions and took excellent care of him. We look forward to the next time she can watch him!”

“We can't say enough wonderful things about Bree! She took care of our two cats, Coco and Buddy, with so much love and attention—it truly felt like she was treating them as her own. From the moment we met her, we knew our fur babies were in great hands. Bree went above and beyond in every way. She didn’t just make sure they were fed and comfortable— but kept them happy, and even managed to groom Coco better than we ever have (and that’s saying something!). Coco looked like she stepped out of a cat salon when we got home! We came home to two very content, well-loved cats—and a clean, organized space, which was such a bonus. If you're looking for a trustworthy, kind, and truly exceptional pet sitter, Bree is it. We feel so lucky to have found her.”

“Barbara was doing recurrent drop in visits for both of my dogs 2x a week for a few months and she went above and beyond to ensure that both of my dogs were cared for. Not only did she fulfill their basic needs, but she also went the extra mile to engage in some playtime. Barbara was communicative and punctual! I highly recommend her services!”

“Ashley was very communicative! She was very great problem solver with my dog when she wouldn’t come outside due to being afraid of fireworks! She’s a life saver!”

About: I've had dogs of all sizes my whole life. From a Yorkie to a 180 pound Saint Bernard! I have taken some basic dog handling care classes and even work in the local shelter with the cats. I'm currently working full time, so I would show up in the morning to check on the animal, during my lunch break if I can, and once I'm off work I would show up as well. Every visit with the animal, I check their eyes, nose, and ears to make sure they aren't getting sick and I also take the morning to care for their food and water needs.

About: I’ve worked in pet stores and a vets office since 2008. I started training dogs professionally in 2013, but my mom will tell you that I’ve been bringing stray pets home as soon as I was allowed to play outside alone! In 2016 I was accredited by the AKC training program and can now do evaluations for them as well. I currently work at Starbucks and PetSmart, but my love for dogs is strong! I own 3 dogs, a crested gecko, and 2 guinea pigs. One of my dogs is a standard poodle who will be a show dog and performs in lure coursing and other dog sports! I’m currently looking to walk dogs near me in the Indianapolis area and boarding cats and dogs in my home.

“Amara was amazing! Even got my reclusive cat Soeren to come out for treats. Lily, of course, was her usual extroverted self and came out for lovies. So sad we only got to try her services once, but we will definitely recommend her to friends.”

About: Most familiar with cat care all the way from little kittens to senior cats. I do dog walks and dropin visits on the Wag app and have a perfect 5 star rating for every job I have done and am looking to expand my clientele here. I absolutely love being able to care for pets and see how happy they are when we go for walks or play fetch. I also dogsit my family's golden doodle who is learning tricks and has anxiety around people. I have a part time job and do contract work on my own schedule so I can fit pet care around my current schedule easily. I intend your home space to be the same as you left it when you return from your trip with a happy pet waiting for you.

About: I have been around dogs and livestock my entire life. I currently work at a veterinary clinic as a receptionist and am going to school to become a veterinarian hopefully. I look forward to see you and your fur babies. I’m currently a student at Ball State. I have a lot of downtime after 5pm or so. I also have breaks in between classes. Let me know what you need and I will make it work! I have 3 dogs currently, that are all very social and loving. But can be put up if your fur baby gets nervous or anything else.

“She provided drop in visits twice a day while we were out of town for a week for our Great Dane and Black Lab. Will book her again for future travel needs.”

About: I love animals and I'm willing to do whatever they need for an amazing quality of life while there owner is away. They deserve it.

I have dog sat for others with dogs that ranged in size from a small Pug to a large Bull Mastiff. I will love your dog like its part of my family when boarding and be sure walks are fun!! I love taking dogs to the dog parks and on hikes so if that is something your pooch likes be sure to let me know and we can work it in when they're with me! Dogs are always family!

About: I have had pets my entire life, and I've also helped friends and family care for their pets when they were away or otherwise unable to do so. Personally, I have three cats, three dogs, and one miniature parakeet. Animals, big and small, I love them all. I am a teacher, so my evening, weekend, and summer hours are very flexible. I am able to drop by to care for pets, can stay in your home if that works best for you, and can drop by for feedings, outdoor breaks, and walks. In your home, I will follow your directions to ensure that your pets have consistency and receive the care they need. Communication is a strong trait for me, and I will be sure to communicate with you about any questions that might arise.

About: I’ve taken exceptional care of dogs and cats since I was a little girl, always being relied on by friends and family to love and care for their fur babies. I grew up with labs, yorkies and several cats… my husband and I now have two golden retrievers and a handful of indoor/outdoor kitties. I’ve raised 5 litters of kittens, have potty trained two dogs and have taken care of a senior pup for weeks at a time. We live in the country on an acre of land with plenty of room for pups to play. I am very active and would be happy to walk and/or jog with your dog(s)… you will never have to worry about them being cooped up in my hands :) I currently freelance and work remotely, so my schedule is very flexible to accommodate your needs. I am also available to board, drop-in, and/or provide walks on weekends! We have an acre yard in the country with plenty of room for your pups to play. Our two goldens are very social with both small and large dogs. When left alone, I am happy to put your pup in its crate or a gated area. When visiting your pet in your own home, I am happy to follow any and all instructions.

About: I have taken care of pets all my life. I have had a dog from the time I could walk and a horse since I was 4. Animals are a passion of mine. Currently I have three cats, 3 dogs, a horse, and a ferret. My cats are Lucifer, Loco, and Cleo. Lucifer loves to eat, Loco loves love, and Miss Cleo loves to be left alone. My dogs are Jezzi, Ziggy, and Auzy. Jezzi is a jack russel who loves belly rubs and to be the boss. Ziggy is a Texas blue heeler who is afraid of his shadow and has anxiety disorders. Auzy loves people and to play with other dogs, but she is 130 lbs and things she is a lap dog. My horse is Dallas and he love mini Oreos and to run all day long. My ferret, T-Bird, or the “crack weasel” as everyone calls him loves to run and sleep. My family and friends have always relied on me with their pets, homes, and children anytime they needed someone. Pet care is like a second nature to me, everyday at 5:30 I go to the horse barn and feed Dallas. My other animals get fed when I feed myself and their water is always filled. I work full time, if I am not working at Coopers in the morning I am babysitting. With my full schedule I always make time for each and every one of my pets whether that is playing in the yard with my dogs or playing with my cats, or even letting the ferret loose in the house to play with the cats or the dogs. When I am working in a clients home, usually if the weather permits I will take their babies outside to play or even the park for a walk. I also like to take dogs for car rides to get ice cream on a warm day. On a wet or cold day we stay in and play or lounge depending on the pet. Dogs and cats that need a little more training or help, I like to take time in the day to “make it all about business.” My dogs at home all know the basic commands and some others depending on the dogs, so it is fun to learn the difference between animals; for example my dog Ziggy, knows hug, move, and enough. People who own dogs like do not have anxiety usually wouldn’t know the meaning behind these commands. I use hug for Ziggy when it comes to new people because he can forget people in the matter of minutes and it takes time for him to get used to them again, the hug represents safety because most people do not know the command and how he reacts to it. The command move for Ziggy is also a command most people do not know the meaning behind. Ziggy’s anxiety constantly has him moving but when it comes to doors he has a tendency to sit and wait for someone to open a door before he jumps and nips them. Telling Ziggy to move makes him move to a different position in the house away from the door rather than telling him no. Enough is a command used a lot for Ziggy because his anxiety always has him barking and wanting constant contact, this becomes an inconvenience when I am trying to work on the floor or on my bed and he is walking all over my work space or even when I am just trying to take a deep breath. Telling him enough is like a heal command without the sit. Enough just means I’m not playing, I’m busy so go lay down. Working with a dog like Ziggy takes a lot of patience along with keeping a constant.
