About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life, been through training with two of them. Currently have a 3 year old and 11 year old so I get the senior portion and high energy. I’m a hairstylist so it’s very easy to create my own schedule or not work certain days or be able to break away for potty breaks or emergencies I don’t have children so I treat mine like they are. We go on lots of walks, lots of play time and snuggles. I like to stick to schedules as I know it’s good for them to act correctly.

“Karisa E. is amazing in every way. I’m so thrilled that I booked her for drop-in visits for our two cats while we were on vacation for twelve days in Maui. Although I had been happy with other cat sitters that I’ve worked with on Rover, I decided to give Karisa a chance, because she was more affordable. Boy, am I so glad that I did. Karisa bonded with our kitties, Klondike and Sprite, better than anyone I’ve ever worked with before. Sprite, in particular, is very skittish and will hide from pet sitters, but, miraculously, she was happy to let Karisa and her children hold her during visits. Klondike likewise got tons of attention and affection, as evidenced by the many photos Karisa sent. Karisa also took care of watering my many orchids while we were away. Plus, when I forgot to suspend our shipment of frozen meals from The Farmer’s Dog while we were away, Karisa was a lifesaver! Not only did she keep an eye out for the package, but when it arrived, she brought it in out of the hot sun, unpacked it, and stored everything neatly in the freezer for us. I will most definitely be booking her again in the future.”

About: A home away from home for your pet children. Think of it as "GrandMa & Paws Paws" Bed & Breakfast. I've been blessed to retire early after an extensive career in different areas, one being prior work experience in the pet industry. I had plenty of experience with veterinarian offices throughout NE Indiana. But, the favorite titles I wear proudly are mom and dog mom and wife to my husband. Throughout the years I've had my heart full of animals -dogs being my speciality and of all sizes, breeds and characteristics. I am dependable, reliable and honest. And I’m easy to communicate with. I have been blessed to retire early after an extensive career in different areas, one being prior work in the pet care industry with plenty of trainings with several veterinarian clinics throughout NE Indiana. Your pet kid will be monitored 24/7 inside my home and outside of my home. As I do this with my own pet children. Throughout the years I've had my heart full of animals - dogs being my speciality of all sizes and breeds. While, also having some of the best cats in the mix of my dogs I care for them with all my background knowledge I've learned over the years of caring for and loving my dog babies. My home is always nice and tidy and so is my backyard. I keep their environment very tidy. I have a fenced in yard. My two dogs are never unsupervised during rain, snow or heat. I guess you would call me a helicopter pet parent. I do have nice kennels with bedding.

“Immediately upon meeting my kitties, Tracy began interacting with them, and cats can be harder to win over. I knew they would be in good hands. He is an excellent person.”

“Hannah was wonderful throughout the whole process, and Bella was so happy and calm when we got home. Hannah was an excellent communicator and sent the sweetest notes and pictures of Bella each time she stopped by. We recommend Hannah to everyone, and we’re looking forward to having her watch Bella again in the future! Thank you, Hannah!!”

About: What sets me apart is that I’ve grown up surrounded by animals my whole life—dogs, cats, fish, and even the occasional bunny. Because of this, I’m comfortable with all kinds of personalities and needs. I have experience walking energetic dogs, caring for playful puppies, and making sure senior pets feel safe and comfortable. My background helps me tune in to each pet’s unique routine and give them the same love and attention they’d get from you. I am currently unemployed so I have so much free time to look after & take care of your fur baby! I am looking for side hustles to keep me busy. As of right now, I only have my one cat in my house. If there is a dog in the house he does not pay them any mind really, but I have multiple rooms to keep them separated & I can use a crate/cage as need be. I would give each animal play-time and attention from me regardless. If, I was to watch the animal in my clients home, I would adhere to whatever rules or routines my client has in place.

“Jennifer took care of my pets over a long weekend, and she was amazing! She communicates very well, shares pictures and updates, and my pets absolutely LOVE her! I couldn't recommend her enough!”

About: I, Carter and my mother Mindy, have been pet owners our entire lives. We have experience with young, adult, and senior dogs. Along with experience in administering certain types of medications, and our house is blind dog friendly thanks to indoor gates and a fenced in and safe backyard. We’ve recently lost our last dog and don’t plan to get another animal companion, but we love to help people care for their furry companions temporarily as a way to give back to the same people who did such for us when we were pet owners. Mindy works from home and loves to work outside in her garden, which would mean a lot of outside time for your pet in our fenced in backyard. Carter is around more in the mornings and nights meaning if your animal is a “night owl” they shall still be cared for round the clock. We have a designated area for food and water in our house, along with many toys and bones from throughout the years. We are in a very safe neighborhood with a fenced in backyard and lots of room to run. Any animals living with us will always be treated with kindness and a sense of belonging no matter the duration of their stay!

“Stephanie went above and beyond to make sure Odie had the best time while I was away at work for a week. She was flexible and accommodated last minute changes, she cleaned up after his messes and just did an amazing job. Thank you so much for all you’ve done for Odie and I!”

About: I have been a fur mom and caring for animals since I got my first kitten Buster at age 5 (fun fact my only tattoo is a portrait of him!). I trained my first puppy in 2020 and dug in doing research and taking classes to raise an angel named Daisy (who now lives with her daddy my ex who loves her very much). My beloved blind Shih tzu Conner passed away at 15 and had several medical conditions so I have lots of experience with senior, disabled, and high needs dogs (I’ve learned lots of ways to trick dogs into taking pills lol). I have been pet sitting since I was a teenager and also have experience caring for birds, turtles, lizards, hedgehogs, hamsters, and rabbits. Animals are my love and passion and I will treat your babies as my own. I am a vegetarian because I love all animals too much to ever want to cause harm to them. I value and treat all animals as equals to myself. I have a very flexible and ever hanging schedule. I typically walk dogs/make drop in visits for 3-6 hours a day (from 10-3 usually although I do occasionally do evening visits as well), 2-3 hours a day with family, and the remaining 16+ hours with my overnight care clients. All services will be provided at your home. I have a dog hammock and cat carrier to transport animals if/as needed. I used to clean houses and assure you your home will be equally clean if not cleaner when you return.

About: I've had pets for as long as I can remember and in my professional life I've worked in wildlife sanctuaries and zoos. From tigers and reptiles to primates and all kinds of domestic, I've taken care of them. I'm experienced with senior animals and any that need medication as well I'm currently only working at my other job on weekends, so I have plenty of time to play and take care of your critters too! I am comfortable taking your pups for walks or playing in a yard. Whatever your specific pets needs are, including cats or anything else, I can handle it

“Lisa was great with our girls! Lucy required alot of special feeding and medication care which Lisa did well. Lucy is also very skittish with new people and, by day 2 she LOVED Lisa!! Would definitely request her services again and highly recommend!!”
