About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of pets. I’ve loved animals since I can remember from a very early age. I have one cat personally but take care of three dogs during my off time. No matter how big or small all animals can count on my expertise for the love and care they need and deserve. Currently in between jobs, I have all the free time in the world, I would love to stay with afternoons and nights however over night is no problem with me! I do not have a yard however there is a field that your pups can play in directly in front of my home. I do have a crate if needed as well as my own space for your pups if they need separation. My cat is very friendly and loves to cuddle with all animals but can put him away during your pets stay with me just in case.

“Linda took great care of my kitty Betty, including making sure she got the daily exercise needed. During COVID, we did a video chat to meet which was perfect. I am so grateful she was available and will call her again.”

“Colleen is so great! We have a typically nervous pup who warmed up to her immediately. Colleen took the time to understand her and was patient with her. She made us feel comfortable leaving Sasha in her hands for her first time staying home alone. Thank you!! 😊”

About: Hello! I am a studying veterinary technician at Purdue University! I've also have done work at both boarding facility's and doggy day cares. I have had training in handling, playtime, walks, designated diets. Everything you can think of to keep your pet happy while you are away. While my schedule may vary during different semesters,it should mostly stay the same. I am available during most afternoons till later into the day. So I can take care of any potty breaks, lunchtime, or later day walks as needed. We have a fenced in back yard with plenty of space for the dogs to run around. The backdoor is a glass screen door, so it is easy to keep track of them if I need to step inside quickl; but I prefer to stay outside as long as I need to keep an eye on them.

About: I have a lot of hands-on experience caring for animals of all kinds, including working at a barn where I help care for 9 horses and give riding lessons, along with experience around dogs and other pets. Being around a variety of animals has taught me how to handle different personalities, energy levels, and needs while staying attentive and responsible. What sets me apart is that I’m very comfortable reading animal behavior and staying calm in any situation. I’m confident with more energetic or nervous pets, and I’m also patient with older animals who may need a slower pace or extra care. I pay close attention to routines, feeding schedules, and any small changes in behavior to make sure your pet stays happy and healthy. I’m reliable, quick to communicate, and I genuinely care about the animals I work with. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m pretty flexible with my schedule and able to fit pet care into my daily routine. I work part-time and spend time at a barn, but I plan my days around the animals I’m responsible for. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, and pet sitting throughout the week and on weekends, and I’m good at sticking to a consistent routine that works best for your pet. I always prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications if needed, and any specific care requests. I’m very aware of my surroundings, keep doors and gates secure, and make sure pets are always supervised and safe. I also keep you updated so you feel comfortable and know your pet is in good hands.

“Laura is a very sweet and caring pet owner and cat sitter. She went out of her way to help me out and take care of my cat with short notice. Very much appreciated.”

“Kaylee was great with our pup, he was slow to come out of his shell with a new person in the house but she moved at his pace and got him out and moving no problem!”

Gabe C.

“Nicole takes her job seriously! She did a wonderful job caring for our 2 kitties! She was very dependable. She was warm & caring to our cats. Sending us pictures of our cats interacting with her made us feel at ease while being away from them! I highly recommend Nicole!!”

Janet R.

“Breanna is GREAT! I always know my cat is going to be well taken care of. I get pictures and written updates each day so I know how he's doin.”

Bill M.

“Eleanor did an amazing job taking care of our cat Jax that is facing kidney issues. Jax requires multiple oral medicines as well as an IV injection daily, neither of which he is a fan of, but Eleanor was able to swaddle him, administer his medicines, and make it as painless as possible. Would definitely recommend.”

Jacob W.

“As always Tammy is awesome. The pictures the notes are always thorough. I always pull out the food for her and this time I just missed one... she contacted me well before the next visit and made sure my boys were happy and well fed. They love her!!!”

About: I grew up having pets since I was born, including dogs, turtles, hamsters, guinea pigs and others. My daughters and I have taken care of our neighbors and friends dogs, and we have experience interacting with cats from my brothers and friends. We have only guinea pigs now, but my daughters are longing for any dog-sitting especially, so we have plenty of space, love and affection to spare, if needed. I am a teacher with my summers off. My daughters are in camps periodically, but we are largely staying local throughout the rest of the summer, and I have a number of house projects that will keep me based at home for most days. I have a pet-friendly townhouse community that I live in. Safe, slow-moving cars, dog-walking areas with doggie bag stations, coupled with open grassy areas, and conveniently located near several close-by parks and even a dog park 10 minutes way. Other dogs are leashed in the community. If needed, your dog can be kept in our finished basement, with plenty of space to move around. In your home, if you prefer to have the dog walked nearby and/or caged at night, that will not be a problem.

About: I've been watching the pets of friends, relatives, and neighbors since I was about 18. I've given insulin to both dogs and cats during my time pet-sitting. I currently own and care for two very spoiled female guinea pigs. During the week, I work full-time with a hybrid home/office schedule. On the days I am in the office, I do leave at mid-day to finish my workday from home. I can be available for bathroom breaks all throughout the day and go on walks/play with your pets in the evening. I work from a laptop, so I have the ability to relocate my workspace if necessary. I am able to provide all-day availability on weekends. Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors that need to be accounted for. I currently have experience taking care of furry ones of all ages and medical conditions.

“Lisa was great and very communicative while watching our puppy! She took good care of her and provided updates every couple of minutes. She did our puppies full nighttime routine. We will be rebooking with her. We so appreciate her.”

About: I’ve had a dog since I was 7 years old who recently passed away. I live with my parents who are also fellow animal lovers and love when I pet-sit for friends. It brings life and fun to our household to host your furry friends. I currently work part time waitressing a few nights a week nearby. I am off weekends so I have all that time carved out to take care of pets! I have an unfenced, medium sized open field directly across from my condominium building I can take your pet for potty breaks and play time. I can keep them leashed for their safety. My parents, who I live with, are fellow animal lovers who love spending time with animals. I have a lazy cat who spends most of the day sleeping, but he lives upstairs in our split unit with my parents. My unit is entirely separate from where he resides, so if your pet doesn’t like cats, it’s no problem!

About: Hi! My name is Angelina and I’m a responsible college student with a lifelong love for animals. I’ve grown up caring for dogs of all sizes — from big, strong breeds like pit bulls to small dogs like chihuahuas — so I’m very comfortable handling different temperaments, energy levels, and personalities. I also have experience caring for dogs who require medication. I’m comfortable giving oral medications (pills, tablets, liquid) and have experience administering injections when needed. I understand how important it is to follow instructions carefully and make sure pets feel calm and safe during the process. I work alongside my partner, Siany, and together we provide attentive, reliable pet care as a team. Having two caregivers helps ensure that someone is always with your dog, giving them plenty of attention, supervision, companionship, and care throughout the day. Whether your dog loves long walks and playtime or prefers a slower, relaxed routine, we’re happy to adjust to their needs. Our goal is always to make your pet feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while you’re away. We treat every animal like they’re our own! We’re reliable, attentive, and will always keep you updated with messages and photos for peace of mind. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine as a college student. I build my class schedule in a way that allows me to dedicate focused time to the pets I care for. On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, I’m available anytime before 9 AM and after 3 PM. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, I’m available anytime before 9 AM and after 1 PM. On weekends, I’m completely free and have full availability for walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays. I’m very organized with my time and make sure each pet gets reliable, consistent care and attention. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. In your home, I do my best to maintain your pet’s normal routine so they can feel as relaxed and stress-free as possible while you’re away. I carefully follow all care instructions, including feeding schedules, walk times, crate use, medications, and any specific behavioral needs. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are always secure before walks, and I keep a close eye on your pet both indoors and outdoors. I’m also mindful of keeping their environment clean and safe by removing anything they could accidentally get into. I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing your pet is being cared for in a safe, familiar environment. My goal is to build trust with both you and your pet by being attentive, patient, and dependable.

“Jeannette took so much time to care for Kingsley, our older dog. He was happy to see her, and she gave us great updates on his care while we were out of town. Jeannette was clearly patient and so kind to our boy. Thank you!!”
