“Shawne was great she followed all instructions, cleaned up any messes, and was very easy to get a hold of. For the 30 minute drop-ins she stayed for a little over an hour (maybe that was 30 mins per dog, but it was great!) She sent a report card for each drop-in which showed the path of their walk, if the dogs went to the bathroom, and included multiple pics of the dogs. I would definitely recommend!”


“I was nervous about finding a pet sitter (my mom had watched my cats when I was away until a stroke left her no longer able to) but I’m so glad I found someone who not only cared for them but gave them playtime and treats while I was away. Janis was excellent with communication and quick to reply. I loved getting the daily photos after visits ended and knowing they were in good hands. Would highly recommend if you are looking for a sitter for your fur baby’s! Thanks so much for caring for my kitties, Janis!”


“Kyle was great at stoping by to take care of our dogs! He took them both for walks and gave them lots of time to play. Our dogs also loved Kyle’s company and he was great with communicating with us and taking photos of the dogs for us.”



“Diana is fantastic! She jumped right in to help me with my new puppy for about two weeks now and we’ve a few more on the books. She gone above and beyond to help my take care of and start training my puppy! She’s timely and very communicative. SO thankful for her!!”


“Mary pays special attention to my little old dog. I feel comfortable knowing she is taking great care of Olive when I have to be away too long.”


“Emily has taken care of our cats twice. She was great at taking pictures and taking care of our kitties - even when one of them scratched her. She communicates clearly with us before booking and during the visits. I do recommend.”


About: I’ve been pet sitting for just over 5 years! Dogs & cats have been my furry friends ranging from puppies to elderly (or needing a little extra love)! I’m currently working part time, so have lots of time to spend with your fur babies! Wednesday, Thursdays & Sundays are completely open. Otherwise late afternoon & evenings, I’m available aswell. Over my pet sitting experience, I have been able to help so many families feel comfortable with their pets & homes be taken care of while they are away.

“Amanda is fantastic. Even my very shy cat will come out to see her. Highly recommend”


About: I have taken care of animals since I was very young and have had cats, dogs, and even horses. I have gained valuable experience in pet care through shadowing multiple vet clinics, where I had the opportunity to assist with a wide range of animals, including cats, and dogs. My hands-on experience has taught me how to care for animals in various environments, whether it’s providing basic grooming, administering medications, or offering comfort during exams. Being a passionate animal lover, I always approach every animal with empathy and patience, ensuring their well-being is a top priority. This experience has only deepened my commitment to improving the lives of animals in every way I can. I am currently a college student working a part-time job, but I still have time to take care of your pet! Friday through Sunday, I do not have any classes, but I also have times throughout the week when I do have classes that I am available, most likely in the evenings. I only have about a month left of school before summer, so I will have much more availability then! As a pet sitter, I prioritize creating a comfortable, safe, and nurturing environment for pets, whether in their home or mine. In my care, I make sure to stick to their usual routine, providing familiar meals, playtime, and exercise, while ensuring they get plenty of love and attention. I maintain a clean space for them to rest and keep them mentally stimulated with toys and activities. If I'm caring for pets in their home, I respect their environment, follow any specific instructions from the owners, and offer regular updates to keep them informed. Most importantly, I treat every pet with the same level of care and affection as if they were my own.

About: Your pet will enjoy our large fenced in yard that can accomodate dogs of all sizes. We still have our small dog area if needed, and it can also serve as a quick rainy day potty area. I understand the love of pets and the difficult decisions that sometimes need to be made to leave them while travelling. I have been the caregiver many times, and I have needed the service others provided. I treat visiting pets like one of my own. I am home full-time, so caring for your furry family member can be top priority in my days. I am very versatile with arranging my small ranch house into separate areas to meet the needs of each dog. There is no need to find multiple places. I will certainly take more than one pet if they are from the same family. I have a small yorkie mix and a large orange cat that will love having a furry friend around to play with under my close supervision. The dog is in charge of daily fence checks to see if there are any tiny openings to squeeze through. So far so good! But please let me know in advance if your dog is a digger or a jumper. I can easily check on your pet at your home if this suits you better. I have even cared for an entire young litter at my own home that complicated their family's holiday plans. I will carefully evaluate your needs, and I will not take on a situation for which I am not qualified.

“I was looking for someone to come to my home for visits with my blue nose pit. I had multiple conversations with sitters, but all had schedule conflicts or they could but then couldn't ??♀️... not Grace. She quickly replied and was very open. I was concerned because my dog is not around people or other dogs, has high anxiety and requires a lot of attention. Grace was fine with Legend! She did a great job! I would use her in the future. Thanks again Grace, we appreciate you!”


About: I have always enjoyed spending my time with animals. I got my first dog when I was in elementary school - sadly he recently passed away - but since coming to college I have been missing my sweet fur baby. Being able to play with and care for someone else's pet while also earning extra cash would be an ideal job experience for me. Getting a new pet really isn’t an option for me right now. With all the free time on my hands, and I would love to get the chance to spend it walking and playing with your fur babies! In the past, I have dog sat for other friends and family and I really enjoyed it and having the extra company is always a plus!

I’m also a licensed veterinary technician in Indiana, which means I can care for dogs and cats that may need any type of specific nursing care. I have watched pets for friends and family that have gone out of town on many occasions and each and every time I ensure their pet feels like they’re on their very own vacation!
