Love and attention 24/7

Pet care experience

Between my wife and I we have over 8 years of experience animal sitting (cats, dogs, horses, birds and more!) and animal training. Originally, from the UK (my wife is American) I moved here to be with her and our lovely dog Franklin, who loves every dog and constantly wants to play! We enjoy being able to help people out with sitting/behavior issues to help create a better environment whether it be jumping or leash pulling. My wife goes to Purdue for a Ph.D in Animal science and I am doing film work and dog watching. Your dogs will be well cared for with us, we treat them as if they were one of ours! We've helped others with potty training/jumping and leash manners to make walks more enjoyable both for us and the pet parents.

Jon took photos of our car showing us that our cat was doing good during his check in visit. He fed the cat and scooped the litter box. He even watered our plant. We would use his services again.

Jon is not available for our booking time, but his wife is willing to give Gungun a walk. She took several photos of Gungun while playing, and we can tell that Gungun really enjoy the play time. She also stay for an extended time to feed Gungun dinner, which we really appreciate. I will definitely book with Jon or his wife again. Thank you for taking care of Gungun!

Jon and his wife were wonderful! This year I had to leave for India for my best friends wedding and therefore had to spend the longest time I have ever been away from my babies. I have two cats that are the love of my lives so I was afraid to upset them by boarding them up in a small kennel. I was afraid to use this service at first but thanks to Jon and Lindsay, I felt very comfortable leaving my babies in their hands. They came for a meet and great a few weeks before my departure and I immediately new that they would be the perfect fit! They were very sweet, and personable. During my travels, they made sure to send me updates and pictures every day. Even when one of my cats got sick, they made sure to contact me and send a picture of what was happening. Thankfully it was just a little bit of vomit but that happens from time to time to my oldest cat. The fact that they send me a picture to let me know what had happened, made me feel so much more comfortable with them. At the end of their visit with my babies, the youngest that is typically timid to come out with new people, threw her self on Lindsey‘s feet to play with her. She never does that. This tells me that not only were they well taken care of, but my cats really enjoyed being with them. Thank you John and Lindsay! 100% would recommend and would definitely book again in the future. If you have fur babies and are apprehensive about using this app, go with Jon and Lindsey! They were the perrrrrfect fit ( couldn’t help myself ?)
