Reviews
My boyfriend & I had a last minute road trip to Kernville and Indiana was available and accommodating to take care for my pup. Immediately once we arrived to drop her off we knew Indiana would care for her like she was her own. Throughout her stay she updated us with photos and videos of their time together and I could see Kira was having a blast! Indiana is genuinely one of those rare persons that really shows her passion caring for all animals and will go above and beyond to make sure pets feel right at home. If anyone is ever looking for a sitter don't think twice; fully recommended Indiana !
Indiana has been awesome with keeping me updated and providing photos. I would recommend Indiana to anyone as she has a great rapport with animals. I will definitely use Indiana again!
With her CPR certification in dogs, cats and equine and her bachelor's degree in biology (with an emphasis in herpetology), Indiana knows how to handle the biggest beasts to the smallest critters with love and care. I've seen her in action and she knows how to read an animal's body language and act accordingly. Indiana is confident and reliable and is always more than happy to give her input and suggestions about training and handling when necessary. She'll meet your expectations every time!
I would trust Indiana with any of my animal family members. From dogs to cats to lizards and snakes. She is very knowledgeable about pet care and is constantly talking about new things she’s learned. Her own dogs are well behaved and happy. She is attentive with appointments as well as open and upfront about any questions or concerns she has. Give her a try and I promise you will not be disappointed.

Information Indiana L. would like to know about your pet
Before boarding or walking your furry friend, I’d love to chat with you about their personality! How do they like to play? If we are walking, what should we avoid? Do they have any allergies? Are they potty trained? Do they have any special needs? What is most important in their daily routine? Do they have a favorite treat? How are they around children or other dogs? These are just a handful of possible questions we can go over- whatever you feel is important, I definitely want to know!
A typical day
Do you have a favorite local dog park? If it’s within walking distance, let’s go! If not, I’m always happy to take your pal on the scenic route around your neighborhood to see new and exciting things. If walking isn’t your thing, but you have a large backyard, then we will spend our time together playing fetch, tug of war, learning new tricks and getting some awesome scratches in while we’re at it.
