Pet care experience

Hello!! If you are looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter, pet sitter, or house sitter… I am available in Indianapolis, IN or in the Danville, IN area! A little bit about me: I recently graduated from Butler University where I was on the cheerleading team, and apart of Dawgs serving Digs and BUSF. I taking a gap year, and attending law school. I am currently working part-time so I have a flexible schedule! I also recently started volunteering at IndyHumane. I would like to fill my gap year with caring for dogs and volunteering at the shelter! I have experience with small and large dogs, cats, some farm animals, rabbits, and various other small animals! I also have experience with walking and administering medicine as well! I previously showed rabbits in 4-H, and I personally have one large rescue dog at home (Weimaraner mix). My soul dog, Kodie (Australian Shepherd mix), passed away in October of 2024. Please let me know if you need references! If you to choose to book with me, thank you so much for helping me on my journey to law school!

Karin has been the best pug sitter. Each pug has their quarks from an older girl with medical issues to include being blind and the other boy being overly anxious and wild. Karin does an excellent job. She always finds a way to accommodate my schedule when possible. If I could give more stars I would. She is quick to respond as well.

Karin, did an excellent job of taking care of the pugs. They absolutely loved her and you can tell that they were so much happier when I got home. I would definitely recommend her for any pet parent.

Karin was absolutely fantastic! She is very responsive and incredibly caring. When she took care of my boys and they had some issues, she went above and beyond well of what I would have hoped for. Most definitely would recommend her to anyone!
