“Sparkle is a senior cat and had recently had a bad spell. Edmy and Craig were very caring. They sent us extra pictures since they knew that we were worrying about Sparkle. It made me feel much better knowing that they were taking such good care of her.”

“Tracy was amazing! We had a little mix up with the house key when he went to drop in on our cats, but he reassured me and we were able to quickly resolve things. He was very responsive and kind, and we’ll definitely rebook in the future!”

“I felt like Brittany was very through and helped navigate a special situation with a new cat in the house. Very communicative and made sure I felt comfortable in leaving on my trip.”

“Rebecca was great!! Consistent and thorough. She was excellent with my cat and I was so happy to know he was well taken care of while I was out of town. I would definitely recommend and use Rebecca again for future pet care needs.”

“Jen did an amazing job with Kiki! Her daily check ins were thorough and the pictures were super cute. I rarely leave my cat for any reason, but I had no worries knowing Jen was checking in on her!”
“Bree was so good with our three cats! She interacted with them every time she visited and even spent time to make sure that they were happy before she left for the day! The photos she took of them during the visits were great as well!! I know our little ones will miss her.”

“Kimeryn is the BEST!!! She is a true animal lover and my dogs knew it the moment they met her. I can't even imagine how excited they get when she comes over to walk and play with them while I'm at work. What I do know is that I feel so much less stressed being away for long hours knowing my dogs are being taken care of and getting exercise and loved on. Kimeryn is also very flexible and reliable. I 100% recommend her to anyone that needs pet care, just once or on a regular basis like I do. Book her now!!”

About: I have had my own dogs, plus taken care of my friends dogs in my home for 20+ years. I also have 4 dog adoring teenagers who also will love on your fur baby. We have a 2 year old Morkie with a big personality. I am a stay at home homeschool mom. Other than taking teens to/from work or at the gym, I am routinely home for dog care. There is rarely a time when I or one of my children isn’t home. I am able to walk your dog at our home or yours, or let them in our fenced back yard if they are staying with me. I have a 6 pound Morkie (Winston) that likes other dogs (and cats)-he has many dog cousins who live with my adult kids and visit frequently.
“She was amazing! My cats have a weird routine but she was very great and accommodating! Sent lots of pictures which I loved, and the cats loved having her around. Would book again!”

About: I’ve had dogs for many years. I also have done pet care for dogs and cats. I have worked at the zoo. I’ve had a bird and fish. I love reptiles and have cared for an iguana and snakes. I work full time as a teacher but would be available after school and on weekends. I could even do early mornings possibly if discussed. I have a fenced in yard for my dogs. I would follow any guidelines set by the owner for safety. I am very careful that animals do not escape because I know how that feels.
About: I have been taking care of pets, mainly dogs and cats for as long as I can remember! I grew up with dogs and would take care of my neighbors animals when they went on vacation. I would also take my neighbors dogs on walks and do drop in visits if they got stuck at work or had other obligations. I work from home remotely so you can have the peace of mind that your pet wont be left unsupervised for long periods of time. The way I care for pets in the clients home is ensure I arrive on time to guarantee your pet gets the exact amount of care and attention scheduled. Every drop in I follow a strict checklist to ensure comprehensive care. My rough checklist for Drop Ins/Walks: -Immediate outdoor break with exercise -Feeding and fresh water and if needed, administer medications. -Clean up litter boxes if taking care of cats and cleaning up any possible accidents -Affection and more playtime and mental stimulation for higher energy dogs/cats. -Any other requests just ask & I will fit those into my checklist Once I leave your home I triple check to make sure your pet is secure, all windows, and doors are locked. I treat your home as its mine when I'm leaving so you never have to worry about your home being secured.
About: A home away from home for your pet children. Think of it as "GrandMa & Paws Paws" Bed & Breakfast. I've been blessed to retire early after an extensive career in different areas, one being prior work experience in the pet industry. I had plenty of experience with veterinarian offices throughout NE Indiana. But, the favorite titles I wear proudly are mom and dog mom and wife to my husband. Throughout the years I've had my heart full of animals -dogs being my speciality and of all sizes, breeds and characteristics. I am dependable, reliable and honest. And I’m easy to communicate with. I have been blessed to retire early after an extensive career in different areas, one being prior work in the pet care industry with plenty of trainings with several veterinarian clinics throughout NE Indiana. Your pet kid will be monitored 24/7 inside my home and outside of my home. As I do this with my own pet children. Throughout the years I've had my heart full of animals - dogs being my speciality of all sizes and breeds. While, also having some of the best cats in the mix of my dogs I care for them with all my background knowledge I've learned over the years of caring for and loving my dog babies. My home is always nice and tidy and so is my backyard. I keep their environment very tidy. I have a fenced in yard. My two dogs are never unsupervised during rain, snow or heat. I guess you would call me a helicopter pet parent. I do have nice kennels with bedding.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life, been through training with two of them. Currently have a 3 year old and 11 year old so I get the senior portion and high energy. I’m a hairstylist so it’s very easy to create my own schedule or not work certain days or be able to break away for potty breaks or emergencies I don’t have children so I treat mine like they are. We go on lots of walks, lots of play time and snuggles. I like to stick to schedules as I know it’s good for them to act correctly.
“Lydia did a great job watching Fiona! She was flexible and helped me adjust the time that I needed her services and guided me through the steps to extend her services which was very helpful!! She took care of our dog just like it was her own dog and we really appreciate that!!!”

“Charity was awesome visiting with our two cats. She made sure that our cat that loves people had plenty of attention. And went in search for our more reclusive one to put eyes on her. Very appreciated!”

“10 stars! Carissa was awesome! She took GREAT care of our 2 dogs for three days so we could go out of town with no worries. Dogs were very happy and content upon our return- Carissa sends updates & photos and even brought in the Fed Ex boxes sitting on our front porch. A++”
