About: I have three amazing babies that were foster failures (a whippet, a pitbull, and a pitbull mix) and have had great experiences dog sitting for various families for different reasons. I am in the last quarter of my schooling at Rose-Hulman and would love to spend my free time loving on your babies!

I am happy to grab a job last minute if needed and I am super flexible with cancellations I will do everything in my power to ensure that your pets remain safe while I am responsible for them. I am happy to accommodate any special requests that may be made for dogs that may need a different approach to certain interactions! I will be sure to get their energy out by playing a lot too

13. Ella M.
About: I have always had pets in my life and I don’t know what I would do without them. I have had dogs, cats, sheep and llamas. I started dog sitting when I was 18. It all started when a family friend was going on vacation and didn’t want to board their animals cats and dogs. I have been doing off and on ever since then. I have taken care of friends animals have been dogs, cats, and horses. And now I am teaching my son to love all kinds of animals. I currently have a full time job and a mom to a little boy. My work schedule is 8am-4pm. My days off are Saturday and Sunday. I will care for your fur babies how you would like me to. At home my fur babies stay in one room when my husband or myself are not home but they used to use kennels. If your animals are kid friendly and if you don’t mind I will be bring my son with me to teach him about all kinds of animals and how different ways of taking care other people’s animals.

15. Jackson S.
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 10. I love dogs more than I do people. I feel terrible when dogs are left home alone, so I won't let that happen. I am currently a college student. I have set aside time in my days to care for your dogs. There may be certain times I cannot care for your dog, but I will block that off in my calendar. I live off campus with 3 other dog lovers. No need to worry about misbehaving college kids. The house where dogs will be cared for has 10 plus acres of safe fenced off areas. Dogs will receive the best care from me in or outside of my home.


16. Josie R.
About: I am conveniently located 2.5 blocks from campus. The People Pathways trail is also on my block where I walk my dog. I’ve dog sat for friends, small and large, and made their stay as comfortable as can be! My dog is trained and enjoy when new fur friends come and stay! I work remote and I would be able to keep your fur baby company all day/night. This unique routine allows me to be readily available for all pet needs. My house has a large yard and plenty of room for a dog to rest or play. I live an active lifestyle, so taking pets on walks and play time will be frequent, unless otherwise instructed walks are not something your animal enjoys.


17. Britney M.
“Want someone who will take care of your fur babies like her own? Then you've found Britney! Britney is a wonderful and caring fur mom! I have trusted her with my own fur babies when I haven't been able to be home. She always sends me pictures of my littles and let's me know how they're doing. She'll take care of anything from cats to dogs and possibly other fur babies! Seriously if you want someone you trust who is super sweet book with Britney! ❤️”


18. Mary G.
“Mary was wonderful watching my dog for a few days. While I was gone she kept in contact and sent plenty of pictures and videos. My dog seemed very happy and comfortable at her home. I would highly recommend Mary and will definitely be rebooking in the future.”




19. Dana S.
About: I have had dogs for the past 15 years. I have lived in Brazil, IN since 2006. My experience, other than ownership, entails working as a receptionist in a dog grooming salon and also helping with the boarding of dogs in said salon. I have previously walked dogs each week at a country animal shelter. I enjoy walking, playing, and cuddling with all kinds of dogs. I am home most days of the week and am available on some weekends also. We live on 2.5 acres of land, so there is plenty of room to walk the dogs and allow them to run. The services I am offering are dog walking, daily drop-ins to check on your dogs and/or cats, and dog sitting in my home.


20. Eva H.
“Eva is a very reliable, dependable young lady with a great work ethic! She has managed to work 20-30 hours a week for the last 2 years while finishing up her high school career with an honors diploma. When it comes to dogs (actually all animals)....SHE LOVES THEM ALL!! She’s volunteered at the Humane Society to play with the animals and give them all some lovings. Every road trip or vacation she takes she’ll find pet stores to visit so she can play with all the puppies. When her parents are out of town (once or twice a year), she sits for the family dogs...a 13 year old mixed breed and a 5 year old Shih Tzu/Pekingese dog. So, with all that being said, I highly recommend Eva as a dog sitter. :)”
