SOUTHSIDE INDY-Home full time-Yard!

I have had a passion for animals my whole life. At age 17 I went into the military and became a vet tech. I have been working with animals as a vet tech, petsitting, working at a kennel and fostering for more than 20 years. I have very affordable prices and if your furry kids are in my home they are part of our family as long as they are with us. It stresses your loved pets less when they are in either a home environment as ours or in their everyday home rather than in a kennel situation where they get very little interatction for the most part. We have our own family of animals which are all spayed and neutered and the dogs have all been through obedience and LOVE to play or chew on a bone 24-7-365. My husband and I are both home full time to take care of the house, kids and pets so someone is always home. He loves being around the pets almost as much as I do and we give them as much attention as they allow. We have a fenced yard and they go out for potty breaks as often as they want. All dogs, even our own, are always supervised while outside. We have several kennels if they need to be kenneled, but try to leave them loose in the house as much as possible. We often have visitors that are never kenneled and just relax in a bed or couch.

Doggy Day Care • Jun 27, 2026

We had complete peace of mind while we were away. Boy stayed in a warm, loving home where he was truly part of the family, not just being watched. It was wonderful to know he was included in everyday family life and enjoying the company of both people and other dogs. We would absolutely book again!

Nicole will always be my first choice to take care of my dogs whenever I need, she handles everything from emergencies to daily loving even better than I ever could. She and her household are truly a blessing.

I work part time at a vet clinic, but my husband is home even when I’m not so pets are never alone. We petsit full time so they get the best of care.

Safety, trust & environment

My yard is fenced and I have a 10x10 kennel with a roof outside if your dog jumps fences (or is an escape artist). We have multiple gates inside so no dog makes a bee line for the door. We also have different areas where they can be if they don’t like other dogs or just need some chill time. Everything is safety with us.

Pets

A typical day

We will do what your furkid wants to do, whether that is playing ball, playing chase or just getting belly rubs. We are often found watching t.v. with at least one...or three furkids on the couch or laps relaxing. We don't want to stress any pets so if they do not like other animals they will get time to themselves loose in the house, eating and potty breaks separate. There are several areas in the house that we can have time with them without any other pets around. We love all animals no matter their preference in other animals!

We do not have any breed preferences, but do require them to be on Flea medication. Vaccines are recommended. Boarding rates from drop off to pick up is 24 hours, meaning if you drop off in the morning and pick up the next day it needs to be in the morning or there will be a full or half day care charge. The same goes for day care-pick up time should not exceed 10 hours, otherwise there will be an additional charge.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
