About: I grew up surrounded by dogs—including chihuahuas, a Bernese Mountain Dog, and currently a high-energy golden retriever and a 14-year-old senior chihuahua. I understand the unique needs of puppies, active breeds, and senior pets. I follow care routines to the letter and truly enjoy connecting with each animal’s personality. Whether it’s energetic play or gentle companionship, I provide thoughtful, consistent, and loving care. Pet care easily fits into my daily routine. I am a part time student and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to be available for walks, feedings, medications, and quality time throughout the day and evening. I treat every home and pet with respect. I follow detailed instructions and prioritize cleanliness, comfort, and routine. I ensure pets have a safe, familiar environment—whether that means sticking to their feeding schedule, using harnesses properly on walks, or keeping medications on track. Communication is key, and I always provide timely updates to pet parents.

“Amanda had great communication and was excellent with our dogs. All the pictures really made me feel more comfortable. I will definitely rebook with Amanda in the future.”


“Alison has been so wonderful and the cats could not be happier! She provides amazing updates and photos to let you know how your fur babies are doing! 1,000% recommend her and will be reaching out to Alison going forward for all future cat sitting opportunities!”


About: We love all kinds of animals and have been a rescue family for years! Both my husband and I have always had pets and have been a safe home for neglected or abandoned dogs We work from home and can give all the love and attention deserved!! Our dogs and rabbits have a dependable schedule and are crate trained We provide an enriching fun safe environment for our dog and rabbits. We have an invisible fence but our dogs never wear their collars now that they know to stay in the yard. They love walks and romping in our wooded yard

About: I’ve taken care of many pets over the last 20 years. Family and friends have trusted and relied on me to walk & feed their fur babies. I have 2 of my own and would love to help you with yours! I’m currently working full time with a somewhat flexible schedule. During the week, I can walk and/or feed your fur baby during lunch time OR I’m available in the evenings. I am very open on weekends. I will follow any directions you provide that relate to walking and feeding. I would love for you to let me know your pets temperament, so I can adjust accordingly - based on your direction.

About: Hello, I’m Kylee! I’ve always been a huge animal lover and have over 12 years of experience caring for not only my own family pets but the pets of family, friends, and even folks from other internet platforms like this one! My family currently has 1 dog and 8 cats living with us, all pets that came to us because they had no safe place to call home. I believe in doing everything I can to give all the little creatures out there a chance, and feel blessed to have been able to help so many over the years. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, rodents, squirrels, chickens, horses, and even a couple of lost goats! I’d love to meet you and your pets, and spread some of my love to them too. SERVICES: -House sitting: I love spending quality time with a pet in their comfort zone of your home, whether we’re snuggled up on the couch together or playing with their favorite toy! My method of house sitting involves more than just a morning hello and evening goodnight. I want to spend as much time as I can with your pets to make sure they still feel loved and taken care of while you’re away. This includes several hours in the morning, several hours in the evening, and all night spent with them in your home. This also of course includes all feedings, playtimes, walks, litter box cleanings, etc. I feel that house sitting allows me to provide the highest quality of care for your pets for the lowest cost to you. *Constant care, which means 24/7 care where I do not leave your pet alone or your home at all, is a different service which will need to be discussed further. It is quite expensive, considering the level of care provided. If you’d like more details, please contact me!* -Drop in visit: I’d love to do a drop in visit for you to make sure your pet is kept safe, healthy, and happy! You can expect more than just an average half hour or hour long visit to your pet when you book with me. It is my personal goal to provide your pet with extra special attention, and make sure all their needs are met fully. -Dog walking: I believe a little fresh air, sunshine, and exercise is good for everyone, dogs included! I’d love to meet your pup and take them on an adventure through your neighborhood! I would love to chat more with you and see if I could be the perfect fit for your needs! I can offer the loving care your pets deserve, to give you the peace of mind you deserve. Please contact me with any questions or concerns! Pet care is part of my everyday life. Right now my schedule is quite flexible. I’m open to whatever you need, I’m here to help you! We can book services in advance, last minute, or even set up a regular care schedule! I’ve loved animals all my life, and I’ve got over a decade of experience of caring for pets. I’m capable and confident in my abilities to take excellent care of your pets. With me, you can have peace of mind knowing your pets and your home are in good hands. Thank you for considering allowing me this opportunity.

About: I’ve been pet sitting on and off since I was about 13 years old. Family, friends & neighbors would often ask me to stop by throughout the day or stay overnight with their dogs and/or cats while they were out of town. I grew up in an animal-loving family that always had dogs and/or cats, so I am very comfortable with their care and LOVE spending time with them. I work 3 nights a week. My schedule may vary from week to week, especially for overnight services, but it overall allows me to be very flexible on my days off. I keep my schedule up to date on Rover to accurately reflect my availability. I am currently unable to have other pets in my apartment due to lease restrictions, so care will have to occur at your home. If you tell me what to do with your pet or leave instructions, I will be sure to follow them and keep your pet happy and healthy :)

About: We live in a beautiful, new home in Whiteland. We only take one dog at a time, so your sweet pup will get all the love and attention that they deserve during their stay. They will also have endless playtime with our goofy and lovable bernedoodle, Pepper. Pepper has never met a stranger and is bound and determined to become the best of friends with everyone she meets, human OR dog. I have owned dogs my entire life, and cared for them in all ages and stages. You can rest assured that your sweet fur baby will be part of the family during their stay. I am a former teacher and now a stay at home mother. I am home with my two youngest children every day of the work week. I will be around for all of your pet’s needs, frequent bathroom breaks, and endless cuddles. I will treat your fur baby as I would my own. They will receive compassionate care, loads of attention, and ample time for play and rest.

About: I am a trainer for Veterans of Best Friends. I also have a minature golden doodle which is certified thru Alliance of Therapy Dogs of which we visit hospice patients regularly coordinated thru Main Street Hospice located in Franklin. I am a retired airline engineer and recently received my Master Gardener certification. I am retired and do some dog training also. I enjoy pets and would love to have some pet drop ins possibly pet sitting to fill the void I treat everyone’s pet along with their household as it was one of my own. In addition I treat your pet with the upmost love and care along with the respect of your home

About: I have had a dog of myself for 10+ years, and he has definitely helped me learn a lot! I’m able to easily form great relationships with any dog I have met (so far), and absolutely adore being around them and caring for them. Thanks to my experience as a dog owner, I know all there is to know of the basics of caring for dogs of all ages. I am currently working on finding another job, but my current one has me working 12-6 at least 3 days a week until July 30th. I plan on finding a job I can do remotely, making it easier for me to be with your pet as long as possible. Since I don’t offer boarding in my own home, I will travel to yours to care for your pet. When housesitting, I tend to hang out in the area where your pet is in the most to keep an eye on them if they need anything, and to keep them company while I’m around (if I can, I also like being on the floor so if they want to come and say hi or get some pets I’m right within their reach)! Also, I may be unfamiliar with the neighborhood, but that won’t discourage me from taking your furry friend on walks if they’re able!

About: I’ve been taking care of my own dog since I was 5 years old. Within my time in high school I took Vet assisting classes, along with dog sitting and grooming internships/job. I absolutely love dogs of ALL breeds and sizes! I can offer nail trimming, paw pad shaving, ear cleaning, and bathing. I’m not currently working a full time job so my schedule is open to any and all requests. My hobbies include going to working out and diy projects. I’m mostly a home body so I’m always w my pets! I care for pets in my home by taking them out every hour and a half to 2 hours if not sooner depending on the dog. All animals are allowed on the beds and couches and your pooches will be treated like family with lots of hugs, cuddles, and playtime. For night stays or weekend stays all dogs will be walked and taken to a bark park within the community. I also do dog sitting in clients homes overnight and during the day on weekends. I’d love to make your pet feel at home and like family!

About: I’m a registered veterinary technician (animal nurse) and I have about 10 years of experience. I’ve been an RVT for about 4 years now so I know what it takes to make sure your pet is well cared for while you’re away. I’ve pet sat for friends and family before; working with dogs, cats, to even reptiles and other small mammals. I look forward to working with you! I care for my own pets and I work full time at a vet clinic. I’m off every other weekend and thursdays. More often than not am I working with animals! Typically, when I’ve pet sat, I’ve stayed in people’s houses and work with what is available in the home. I’m flexible when it comes to environment and work place.

About: Being an energetic and patient person, your pets will thrive in my care, getting loved like they are my own. I have many years of experience w/ dogs & cats, a couple reptiles, and an occasional hamster. Not having any pets of my own, and being an empty nester, I have a very flexible schedule as well. I am now an empty nester, with no pets of my own, so my schedule is very flexible. I can happily provide short- or long-term care for your pets. I will ensure that your pet is loved and kept safe from harm. I can also give your pet a bath if needed, take them on walks and/or runs, give medication and lots of snuggles!

About: Hi, I’m Carrie! Animals have been the heart of my world for as long as I can remember. With over 13 years of hands-on experience in animal care—including 3 years working in a shelter and 10 years in veterinary clinics as a receptionist, kennel worker, and manager—you can trust that your pets are in capable and compassionate hands. I share my life with a lovable pitbull who is my whole heart, so I understand just how much our furry companions mean to us. Whether it's drop-in visits, older pup care, or just good old-fashioned playtime shenanigans, I’m here to make your pets feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. I do use a mobility aid for walking, but it doesn’t slow me down one bit when it comes to cuddles, belly rubs, or tail-wagging adventures. Let’s chat—I’d love to meet your four-legged best friend! I have a very flexible schedule which allows me to be available for a variety of activities such as mid-morning, afternoon and mid-day drop-ins, potty breaks, play time and socialization. I’m my own home, I take my own dog for multiple walks throughout one neighborhood throughout the day. Due to being unable to board or do overnights in clients homes, depending on your environment, I would love to spend time outdoors with the animals, whether a it’s for playing fetch in the yard, walks in the neighborhood, relaxing in the sun with our feline friends, or just dropping in for some one-on-one time.

Kylee S.
“I have a 14 year old german shepherd lab mix who requires multiple walks a day. Unfortunately, he is dog-reactive which makes those walks a bit more burdensome. Kylee made sure he was taken care of well and gave me regular updates while I was gone. She often spent more time with him than I required, just to keep him company. I feel very safe leaving my old man, and my home, in her care.”


Kamela S.Star Sitter

“She was absolutely fantastic!!! She kept me in the loop for everything, when she got there, when she took my dog out, and when she was leaving. The best !!!”

I absolutely feel comfortable with Maddie taking care of my pets, and I highly recommend her to others!”

Rick V.
“When I think of Rick, people, pets, and plants (gardening) come to mind. I entrust Rick to my 20-pound mini goldendoodle, 24/7, and I'm a fussbudget! I have a 2-hour commute (one-way) for my work, M-F, and I won't leave my dog unattended for hours on end. Rick displays "The Softer Side of Sears" when I say that he has a compassion and passion for people and pets. He reinforces training commands (to my already certified Therapy Dog) to keep my doodle accountable and enjoyable in public space. "The pride of ownership" is his mantra, as an avid gardener, dog trainer, neat freak (for lack of a better term) and all around nice guy.”


Pete L.

“Thank you! My chi is well and alive lol”


Claire B.
“We have owned a pet in our home for over 13 years and Claire has been exceptional in caring for him.

Jenna B.
“Jenna has been our go-to pet sitter for years. She stays at the house to care for both our dogs and cats. We appreciate her background as a vet tech—it’s reassuring to know our pets are in knowledgeable hands. She’s dependable and clearly cares about animals, which is so important when leaving your pets in someone else's care. We're grateful for her help when we've needed to be away!”


Serena T.
“Serena is a happy, energetic person who is very passionate about loving people and animals. Your pets will be lucky to have her as a sitter. Very dependable, flexible & caring.”
