“Issabella is such a thoughtful pet sitter. She provides great updates during her stay and is really knowledgeable about animal care and behavior. She really gives us peace of mind while we’re away. We highly recommend!”

About: My family has always owned a dog. Ever since I was young, my family and friends have relied on me to care for their animals, whether it be a walk, or an overnight sit. I’m a current Ball State Social Work grad student and love paying visits to the local Animal Shelter in my free time! I am a part time grad student at Ball State University, and also work part time at a daycare. I still have a lot of free time I’d like to fill throughout the week doing something I love, like taking care of animals. I am very attentive when it comes to caring for other peoples babies. Safety for myself and the pet is my number one priority. I do have a fenced in big back yard, and I also live right next to campus!
“Ella was amazing. She took my booking last minute and responded quickly. Ella showed up on time and seemed eager to meet our boys. You can tell Ella genuinely loves animals. Ella made us feel comfortable leaving the boys behind in her care. We came home to happy kids and the house just the way we left it. Ella kept in contact during her stay and sent us pictures and updates often. I would definitely book Ella again! Highly recommended!”

About: I have the freedom to go anywhere needed with the ability to drive. I can also take care of the pets special needs such as giving medicine. I enjoy walking and playing. My little dog has a big dog attitude, so when she gets aggressive I know how to handle her, and keep a safe distance not letting anyone get hurt. I am a full time student at BGSU, and living on campus. I can do check ins during the weekdays, and I am able to stay overnight if needed at anytime. On the weekends I should be available at anytime and stay for however long is needed. I have a fenced in backyard, and a small dog that goes through the doggy door. I am always available to open the door to let your pet out at anytime. I walk my dog around the neighborhood 3 or more times around the week at least.
“Bella was GREAT with our pup! He can be a bit of a handful from time to time and she managed his weirdness extremely well. She left our home nice and tidy as well. Will definitely be asking her to watch George again!”

About: I’ve recently started to pet sit/house sit for my friends and their families for the past year. That pool of friends/family has continued to grow because of my attention to detail, eagerness, and flexibility to what you and your pet need! :) I am a teacher, so while I am gone most of the day, my early morning and entire evening can be dedicated to making sure your pet is getting what they need! When I am pet sitting, I make sure to place that commitment over other things to make sure your pet’s needs are being met! I am willing/able to maintain any routine you currently have with your pet! I am also known to clean and remake the bed before I leave, as well as throw in other additional cleaning. Gotta leave spaces better than you found them! ;)
