“Adrianne was great! She took great care of my Boomer and attended to all his needs. He had plenty of playtime and she even took him for walks. I also appreciate that she sent me plenty of pictures for his stay.”
“Monika was awesome! She kept us up to date on daily activities and sent pictures of Rufus. We will defiantly have Monika take care of Rufus again.”
“Haylie was so wonderful to work with! She sent me updates and pictures throughout my trip and allowed me to extend Seeley's stay with her family on short notice when we had some unexpected issues. This was his second time staying with Haylie, and I am sure it won't be his last!”
“Penny took incredible care of our dog! She provided lots of updates while we were gone and loved on our pup. We will definitely have Leroy stay with Penny again. Thanks!”
“Kari & Clint agreed to watch our pups pretty last minute, over the Thanksgiving holiday. We were in a pinch and so thankful we found them. One of our dogs is kind of nervous and they let us come over in advance for a meet and greet. They had a great stay and had a blast with their new puppy friends.”
“Simply the best. It's so comforting to know our girls are well cared for while we are gone. Updates, photos and videos really help. Definitely recommend.”
“Katia was very helpful. Her home was clean and her dogs and kitten seemed to do well with Connor. Connor chewed his leash in two and Katia went and bought another and said we did not need to pay her back for the cost. Of course we did though. We would recommend Katia.”
“Shyann is the best! Our Lexi has stayed with her twice and loved it! Lexi was on medication and not eating like she normally does, Shyann had no problems with our instructions and handled everything like a pro! It’s such a relief when you go out of town knowing that someone is really giving care and love to your furry family member, and that’s what Shyann does! We can relax and enjoy our trip, Shyann sends us fun and adorable pics & videos of Lexi and we really appreciate the extra effort she puts in doing that!”

“Hilary and her family were wonderful hosts. Their location and property are excellent and one of her daughters came out with her to greet us when we arrived. We will definitely be looking to use them again next time we are in Muncie.”
“This was the first time I was boarding my puppy Trooper. As soon as we got to Michelle’s house, I knew my puppy was going to be in great hands! Throughout the weekend, she provided multiple pictures showing him having the best of time! We will 100% always choose Michelle to look after Trooper! Thank you SO MUCH”
“Gerard was extremely friendly and great with Ralphie. I hope he will be able to watch Ralphie again for me in the future. I would recommend Gerard to all my family and friends. Thank you so much for taking good care of Ralphie for me.”

“Sarah was a great fit for Duke. I had to leave town for a funeral so short notice and she was very accommodating. She kept me updated with how Duke was doing through my trip. I would recommend her for everyone to use.”
“I would Recommend using Whitney for your dog sitting needs, so has a large spacious outdoor yard for the dogs and spends pictures and updates of the pups on a regular basis. I will definitely be using her again in the future”
“Aurora was very sweet and caring for my Luna, she took Luna in at a very short notice, and was even able to drop her off early ahead of her drop off time which helped me tremendously since I was in the process of moving. Luna was groomed and I received updated pictures of Luna. I would definitely book again in the future!”
About: I have fostered dogs my whole life, and rehabilitated many untrained fosters. I basic obedience train all my personal dogs and foster dogs. I have also volunteered at the local animal shelter for the past 3 years. My husband and I work opposite schedules so someone is home majority of the day. I start my day at 4am taking care of my own dogs and work 8-4. My husband’s home all day and leaves for work at 2:30 so your beloved family member will have around the clock care! I have a 6ft privacy fence. I also am very trained in crate and rotating dogs if need be. I am equipped in medication administration as I have two personal dogs on daily meds. I have been trained on how to properly introduce dogs and have fostered many dogs over the past few years. I also have the room and availability to keep your pup separate from other dogs in the home if need be.
“Paige was wonderful with Max and so sweet! We loved seeing daily pictures of him being part of the family just like at home. We will definitely check with Paige next time we travel! ❤️”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch my dog while I was out of town! Alexis gave me so much peace of mind by sending regular updates, including lots of photos and videos. It was clear my pup was happy, well-cared for, and loved while I was away. I highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy and thoughtful pet sitter!”
