“Taylor has been a great caregiver of my animals for 3+ years. She is very sweet and patient with them. She is an animal lover, and it shows!! She is always kind and has a smile on her face! I would definitely recommend her for your fur babies!”


4. Hannah G.

“I cannot vouch enough how amazing Hannah was as a house and dog sitter. We have two large rambunctious dogs (German shep and pitbull). She came and met and played with them a week before and was super communicative before, during and even after her stay. We ended up having an emergency where she needed to stay another night so I paid her more plus tip but she was more than happy to help. Thank god her schedule permitted! She sent photos and updates on the dogs and was a wonderful house guest. We HIGHLY recommend her and will be hiring her again in the future without a doubt!!”

“Kimberly was great. We rested a lot easier on on trip with her daily pictures and updates. We would get pictures in the morning and evening. She was very personable as well. We will definitely be using Kimberly in the future. We highly recommend.”




6. Megan H.
“Megan has always been the biggest help with my Bernese mountain dog puppy. She’s there whenever I need a dog walker, feeds him on time, and plays with him and his favorite toys. She makes all pets feel comfortable and loved when their owner is not present. She has always helped with her parent’s dogs and since she’s been a little kid. She has always put animals first with her gentle loving voice. She’s reliable and will be there whenever you call. Your animal will be in the best hands with Megan.”


7. Alexis W.

“We love Alexis! She took such good care of our 7 year old dog. We rescued him and he has always been a little anxious. He immediately felt at ease with her! She took him on lots of walks and he got lots of pets and cuddles(his favorite). She stayed in our home and kept everything nice and tidy! We hope she is available to watch him again in the future!”


8. Mykhail M.

9. Greg A.
“Greg is very good with my dogs Bailey & Dudley. He stays in my home and papers my pups. He keeps everything clean and my dogs are always so excited to see him when he arrives.”


10. Johwen M.
About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my genuine love for animals, personalized care for each pet, and reliable service. Your pets will feel at home with me! Most of my days end at around 4pm with nothing much left to do, so I’m searching for something to occupy that time, and I love animals so why not this! I care for pets by creating a safe, comfortable environment tailored to their needs. I also follow any specific instructions provided by the pet owners to make sure their pets feel right at home.


11. Erin M.
About: I've been dog/house sitting for the past two years, during which I've developed a deep understanding of dog care and companionship. I am a high-energy person, which means I’m always ready to go on walks, play, and run around with dogs, ensuring they get plenty of exercise and attention. I also own a 10-month-old Golden Retriever named Daisy, who loves meeting new dogs and making friends. Having Daisy at home means I’m familiar with the care needs of puppies and young dogs, and I'm always prepared to keep your dog engaged and happy. I currently work in an elementary school. My hours are from 7:30-2:30 M-Th, and 7:30-11 on Fridays. My nights and weekends are both wide open. I have a very playful puppy at home and a secure yard where dogs can safely run around on a tie-out, providing them with plenty of space for exercise. I take pride in creating a safe, loving environment for all dogs I care for. With experience in crate training and potty training my own puppy, I understand the importance of routines and consistency. I also ensure that dogs are let out regularly and stick to their set schedules. Above all, I prioritize building trust with both pets and their owners, creating an environment where both feel comfortable and secure.


12. Douglas & Katherine Z.
“Doug and his wife Katherine have kept my dog Lucy a couple different times while I was on vacation. They loved & treated her like she was theirs. I trust and would recommend Doug to anyone that needs their pet cared for.”


13. Benjamin B.
“Benjamin has a special connections to dogs. He is kind, calm, and patient. He has watched my spoiled dog during my longer vacations. My dog loved it.”


14. Nicolas F.
“Nico is the best pet sitter!! My cat Bluebell is an HIV+ cat adopted from a cat cafe. After adopting her, the vets found parasites inside her body and she had an upper respiratory infection, and eye infection. I had to keep a close eye on her the next following weeks and had Nico check in on her every couple hours while I was at work. He administered her medicine, and took her to her vet appointments for her checkups. There’s no one I trust more with my cat than Nico!”


15. Katherine K.
“Katherine is a wonderful pet caregiver. She has pet-sat for me many times and my cats were always very comfortable around her, happy, and well taken care of. I have also seen her interact with her own cat for a long time now, and she is always so caring and attentive with her cat. Katherine is reliable, competent, and warm.”

17. Amanda A.


“My puppy really enjoyed being puppy sat by Amanda and I felt very at peace knowing my dog was in good hands. Amanda sent me pictures and updates of her stay with my dog. She did a meet and greet, and she asked all of the important questions regarding caring for my dog. They even spent some time outside to play! I would definitely book again!”

20. Chloe C.
About: Hello, I’m a current student at Ball State University! I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 12 years old! Friends, neighbors, and friends have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets as well as doing daily check ins. I’m currently going to college and working a part time job so I will have plenty of time to play with your sweet pups and provide the best care for them.
