“Irene is a good communicator and is flexible. She walked my dog the day after I booked her and I appreciated her for doing it on short notice. She clearly loves dogs and is looking to pursue a career working with them. She is patient and kind and I highly recommend her and will definitely use her again.”

About: I’ve enjoyed watching some friends dogs espcially smaller ones. They are so sweet. I fed them, took them outside, played with them, and provided companionship while the owners were away. I am currently working a job from 10 am to 4 pm. Would love to sit or walk pets in my off hours. Could also sit overnight. I don’t have a place for animals at my home, but while watching my friends animals I made sure to leave quickly while they were distracted. I also made sure to have them put in their crate before leaving.

I hope you consider letting me take care of your pet! I would love to spend time with him or her any day of the week! Thank you! I am available M-F, any time of day!

About: I've lived around dogs for most my life, with a range of sizes and needs. From small Pugs who snore the night away to Great Danes who think they are still a puppy. Have a high energy pupper who needs someone to keep up no worries. Currently I work part time until August 19th when I go back to the classroom. But until that time I'm mostly available all week long. I'm mostly looking at doing walks and check ins at this time as I have a number of home projects that would make boarding difficult.

About: I am a very compassionate and understanding person who would respect your animals needs and routines. I am a trust worthy, clean person who you could trust in your home as well. I am familiar with large dogs and cats, as well as other small farm animals. I currently Have 3 dogs and 1 cat. I can give your animal all the attention they desire. I am currently a stay at home dog and cat mom, now that my own son is grown. I care for our three large/extra large dogs, Savannah cat and other barn cats at our home, on our farm. Hazel is the oldest at 7 years. She is an Anatolian/ Pyrenees mix. Then comes Theo a 5 years old male German Shephard/Pyreneese mix. Finally is Zeus, our recent addition at 2 years old male German Shepherd. My schedule revolves around my animals currently but is fairly open for work. I would love to fill it with caring and spending time with more animals. I can become familiar with and respect routines for animals. As well as be patient and kind. I am familiar with crate training and other basic learned skills that animals pick up. Two of our dogs have gone through basic training. I believe one on one time is important as well as socialization when desired. The safety of your animal is important and I would be more than diligent while caring for them.

About: I grew up on a farm and I was the one responsible for feeding, walking and the safety of the animals. Trained puppies of all breeds. I have previous vet assistant experience. I have experience with grooming long haired breeds and administering medicine. I check daily temps outside to make sure pets don’t get too hot on walks. I have experience in noticing signs of bloat and know how to intervene. I will always let you know the minute your pet seems a bit “off”. I lost both of my Golden Retrievers due to age and now I fill my home with helping others and their pets which shines light into my life! I am currently working but my work is really flexible with my schedule. If I pet sit your dog or cat, they come first always. I have a fenced in yard and a river walk near by for daily exercise. I am used to medicine routines for cats/dogs as well. My pets have always been on flea meds and UTD.

About: I’m familiar with all types of dogs. Senior dogs or puppies, you name It! I am a very calm and easy going person with all the experience needed to take care of your fur baby!

About: I am currently unavailable until April 8th, 2020 due to a study service trip with Goshen College. Feel free to contact me, but know you will not receive a response until April 8th. Thank you for understanding. I have no professional experience with dog care, however I have cared for numerous pets over the last 15 years of my life (I'm 21 now) and have loved every bit of it. I am looking to get some extra cash by doing something I love while in college. I love taking dogs to the park to play for hours and then snuggling up with them later because they are so tired. It's my favorite thing to do is tire a dog out so much that all it does is want to sleep later (kind of like a kid, haha). Really just looking for an excuse to spend time with animals. Professionally speaking, I am a student in college studying Sociology and Psychology. I am a part time lifeguard/supervisor, a swim coach, and part time data and research assistant at a local nonprofit organization. I anticipate a Spring 2020 graduation

About: I’ve always been asked to take care of animals by friends and family. I’ve always been asked to pet sit due to my love for animals and my ability to love them as my own. I’m currently working part time and am taking college classes online at Western Governors University! I enjoy the flexibility of pet sitting and how well it works with my schedule and how I also get to build bonds with animals! Fenced in yard with two cats. We do not accept animals that have no experience with cats/ dogs not get along with cats. We also require meet and greets to provide the best care for your animals make sure our home is a good fit.

About: I grew up with cats & dogs. We always had at least two in our house as kids and I've owned lots and lots of pets with human names. Since I’m a teacher I am available all summer long. I am an early riser and can accommodate all times you may need for your pets My pets get walked four times a day and seem to be my mode of exercise. I can accommodate early and late hours in particular.

About: I can't help but attempt to nurture every animal I come across, from a baby squirrel to adopting my former streetcat (Iroh). In addition to housesitting, catsittting, and dogsitting for a number of people in Indianapolis, just in this past year alone, I've also taken upon the responsibility of self-fostering 3 kittens. Recently, I finished 5 months of bathing/grooming training experience through Petco. This past experience has taught me the importance of pet safety and taught me much about dog care and health, from regular bathing to nutrition. I've taken care of several different species of pets in the past 15 years, including several in/outdoor cats, a rabbit, two hamsters, a chameleon, and a former family Labrador Retriever. Since I was young, I've had a large amount of compassion and consideration for all living critters and creatures. I now spend much my time commiting to reading and research about dogs, cats, and other animals. My experience, multiple-species expertise, and unconditional care creates a space where your pet is not only looked after, but loved on. Being a total free-spirit, I currently possess a large amount of flexibility and an open calendar. Especially around those family holidays. I can offer what few others can in this moment, time, intentionality and availability in pet care. 🗓️✨ As a current cat parent myself, I appreciate when I know my cat is in good hands. This not only relieves my stress, but his as well. I can return to preparing for my trip, meeting, or holiday prep worry-free. I have firsthand experience placing my pet's care into another's hands. It took so much much trial, error, and good luck before I settled on a small roster of people who look out for my baby just as well as I can. My fur child deserves to be just as safe and comfortable in his living arrangements as I am in mine, no matter where I am. Finding that type of care is no small feat either. Assuaging my worries (and his) on top of everything else that traveling demands, can really be the cherry on the top of my stress-out sundae. If you resonate with some of these concerns, then I may be the pet sitter for you. I will read the list of your special care instructions AND follow through on their necessities to soothe your nerves and those of your pet. Given the opportunity, I'd love to be a companion they can count on for meals, play/fun times, walks, and any other special activities you share with your little one. Meanwhile, allowing you to relax and lean into your confidence that your pet is in great hands. So, let me do what is necessary to remedy, not only your anxiety, but your pet's as well. I'd love to be the person for you and your companion. 🤓📝

About: I get along with all dogs that are well behaved or not! I have had dogs my entire life, and many other pets as well! I love dogs the most, but l love all animals! I'm available m-s from am to pm! I work from home and am able to make my own schedule! Which is really nice, so if I'm needed morning or evenings I'm almost always available! I use positive reinforcement whenever possible, and always try and make sure dogs are using their manners, and best behavior. I am comfortable with dogs that need a little extra time to warm up to strangers as well, I have been around dogs my entire life with my own, friends and families! I love training and agility and all things dog! I have watched many videos on how to administer CPR and first aid. But have taken no classes. I have experienced a few accidents in my day with dogs, seizures, cuts, etc. So I have some experience in some things, but not anything to serious.
