About: I've raised pets (dogs and cats) for most of my adult life and would love to care for yours while you're away! With me, your precious furry family members will get the love and care they deserve, and I'll stay in frequent contact with (texts/calls/pics) you about their care. I've been away or on vacation and employed pet sitters in the past, and I know how reassuring that frequent communication is! I am retired and have no strict obligations that would keep me from sticking to any care schedule you need. Over the course of my work life, I've adapted to about every time and day schedule possible - weekends/late nights/early mornings are no problem! I have a reliable two-year old car, and am very experienced using any modern technology necessary if anything unexpected happened (Google Maps/Hailing an Uber/Anything smartphone related, etc) I understand how important it is to meet your expectations regarding the care of your animals and I will do whatever it takes, and I will treat your home with the utmost respect.

“Brooke is super friendly, and responsible. She came out to visit us the day before the dog walking appointments and my dog ran right to her which was a comforting sign. We were traveling through the area in our RV and felt completely comfortable leaving our dog in Brooke’s care while we visited Chicago for the day. We highly recommend Brooke! She’s energetic, and perfectly capable of caring for big, strong and sweet pups. 5 stars! ⭐️”

About: I have extensive experience caring for a variety of pets, especially cats, and I bring a calm, attentive, and loving approach to every visit. From feeding and medication to playtime and companionship, I tailor each visit to meet the specific needs of every pet. As a lifelong animal lover and dedicated pet parent, I understand how important it is to maintain routines and create a stress, free environment while owners are away. Whether caring for energetic kittens, shy cats, or other small animals, I treat every pet like family. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because it aligns with what I already love doing, spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for, as well as caring for my three fur babies. I plan my schedule to allow plenty of time for visits, giving each pet the attention they need without feeling rushed. Whether it’s early morning feedings, midday check-ins, or evening cuddles, I enjoy building consistent routines that keep pets comfortable and owners reassured. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do, it’s part of how I live. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and routines, aiming to keep everything as familiar and consistent as possible for the pet. I follow detailed instructions, give updates to the owner, and make sure each visit includes essentials like feeding, playtime, and litter or potty breaks. I also keep an eye out for any changes in behavior or health. Whether in my home or theirs, I treat every pet like family, with love, patience, and dependable care.

“Stephanie has walked our dog a few times already and I am always at ease knowing she will come by to take care of Clark. She has always been able to accommodate us even on short notice, always sends pictures and details of the walks and still came through for us with a twisted ankle!!! Thanks so much Stephanie! We are both so glad we were able to find someone trustworthy and reliable in our area to help us out every once in a while. Definitely a long term go to! And I really can’t stress enough how much we appreciate the flexibility and accommodation.”

About: I have worked with and cared for all kinds of animals including dogs, cats, birds, and common fish. I have been pet sitting for various neighbors and family friends over the years, and I’ve loved every minute of it. Also, I own a special needs dog, so I have a fair understanding of dogs who need a little extra care! I work part time as a non medical caregiver in various clients homes in northwest Indiana. This means my schedule differs from day to day, but I often have breaks during the day between clients. This means I’ll have the means to pop in to take care of your precious animals. While I won’t be boarding in my own home, I am very used to tending to people and animals in their own homes. Every client of mine will receive nothing but the best in terms of safety, trust, and maintaining a nice environment!

About: I have always loved pet sitting, especially throughout college. I can do the basics such as walking, taking out for potty breaks, and feeding. I think the best care I can give is when I can go above and beyond the basics. Being able to love and care for your pet while you are away is something I aim for! I’m an elementary school teacher on summer break so I have open availability to watch your furry friend. We’ll soak up the summer sun together! I do have a nice small yard (fenced) and a fur baby to keep your pet company. I can easily crate your pet if needed during the day or at night.

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!

About: I have had a cat since I was 11, I take care of my moms dog often. I have potty trained a puppy before too I am in college but not working I am able to be called anytime to play with or take care of your sweet furr baby! I can come prepared with my own dog toys, treats, and leash if need be. I know how to use a crate if needed too.

“Brianna was awesome! She took my elder dog for a nice walk and sent me lots of pictures :) Definitely would hire again.”

About: I grew up raising dogs, both taking care of the family pets as well as raising puppies for my grandmother repeatedly. I also have some experience in dog training I work full time, but only four days a week. I can always check on animals in the evenings and I always have Friday/saturday/Sunday free for pet care In a clients home I am respectful of the space that’s there. I find it easier to deal with pets in an environment that is familiar to them as they seem more at ease that way. I do my best to follow any routine an animal has to keep the animal calm and to make sure they receive proper care

About: I have been the lucky human partner of many cats and dogs. Your dog and/or cat will be treated like I would care for my own, with love, care and kindness. If they have special needs I'm happy to be your care extender. I am retired and self-directing, so my schedule can typically be tailored on an individual basis to fits the needs of Fido or Feline. I prefer advance notice and planning so there is a chance to build trust and familiarity with your best friend. I do not offer pet sitting in my own home. I can pet sit in your home if desired. Individualized plans are based on your needs.

About: I’ve taken care of both my family’s dog (Gus) and helped neighbors and friends with their pets since I was a kid. I’m hoping to find the same sort of work here now that I’ve moved I moved into the area recently and I’m looking for work that fits well with my other responsibilities. I have plenty of time to take care of and play with dogs I have a fenced in back yard, no carpeting, a large house space, and I live in a neighborhood that’s away from major roads with a lot of room for walking. It’s an ideal place for dogs!

Whether you have a fenced in yard or not, I’m willing to provide walks for your pups. I have experience with crate trained puppies, I’m happy to assist with that. If your dog is on a set schedule, I will be certain to follow that. Endless cuddles will be supplied as well.

About: My motto is that it's my responsibility to make sure that each dog under my care is HAPPY and SAFE. Every day that I'm with your pup, I keep that motto at the forefront of my mind. I know how important dogs are to our lives, so it's my duty to make sure that your dog gets to experience the same kind of love while you may be away. I currently volunteer at the Toledo Humane Society to walk dogs and I have loved it. I am currently studying at the University of Toledo with online classes. I am always looking for more ways that I can get extra exercise and spend time with pets. I grew up on a farm and have so many great memories taking care of all the many animals we had. I miss my pets at home so I hope I can care and walk your dogs like I have for many years at home. Taking care of animals fits in to my schedule in the mornings of most days because I am not busy until evenings and I would love to use that time to take care of animals that may need a friend while there parents are away. I love taking pets on long walks where they can get all the zoomies out. I always start with saying hi and giving them a much needed welcome treat with some pets. I then will have doggy poop bags if needed on walks with some extra treats along the way.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for many years. Since I was born I’ve had dogs in my household. When I was 12 I got my very own first dog and she was a senior dog. That was the dog that got me into caring for animals. Since I was 15 I have been caring for my own dogs as well as family and friends when needed. I am comfortable around all animals and love spending time with furry friends! I am 19 and a college student pursuing veterinary medicine. I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time to care for your fur babies wether it be puppy’s, seniors, or anything in between. I’m also doing college courses online so it wouldn’t interfere with caring for your animals. I always put your pets first. I spend plenty of time with them wether it be walking or playing. I make sure their needs are met and keep a timely schedule when it comes to feeding and of course make sure they always have water.
