“Maura was amazing with our dogs! She was very prompt in answering messages and went above and beyond to make sure our 3 dogs were taken care of while we went on a mini vacation. I highly recommend her and will definitely use her again!”


“Ashley is the best. I needed someone to house sit for my two dogs and she took amazing care of them. She was super attentive and responsible which made me feel very at ease while on vacation.”


About: • Adult and senior dogs or cats • Special needs (blind, diabetic, trouble walking)) • Quirky behaviors • Puppies that need lots of potty breaks are no problem I am 54, married, retired, and am available 24/7. When not pet-sitting, I care for three dogs at home, plus two sheep and two goats. I will keep your home in great condition, cleaning up after your pets and leaving no trace that I was there. I bring my own snacks!

“Ben did a great job again!!!!! Had a few surprise deliveries that I wasn’t expecting and he was great help with those. And the shy kitty ended up purring on his lap. That says it all.”


About: I’ve had dogs and cats since I could remember growing up. And now more recently I’ve started watching family and friends animals as well while they’re gone on short trips I love visiting them and playing with them when I get there! Im currently working part time so I plenty of time to make sure your fur babies are taken care of. During the week is more better for me but I am flexible to do weekends sometimes as well! Since I have a full house I would prefer to come to you. I love to go for walks and play outside with my dogs or when I’m watching someone else’s and I make sure I keep them on the same feeding schedule.

“Sydnee was a great house/dog sitter for my 2 dogs and my parent’s elderly dog. She gave many updates and sent lots of pics. It was a relief to know my dogs were getting lots of love and being spoiled and knowing my parents elderly dog was getting the care he needed. Can’t wait to have Sydnee come back! Thank you so much!!”


“Aliece did an amazing job with my two dogs (55lb and 75lb) for our week vacation. She was quick to respond from our initial contact and forward. This was our first time using Rover and she easily walked us through all the steps to ensure everything was set up properly. She sent us multiple daily updates and lots of photos to ensure we knew our babies were comfortable. She administered daily medications multiple times per day. She was flexible with work getting done around the house during her stay. She graciously helped troubleshoot when our AC went our briefly. She is super sweet and my dogs fell in love we her immediately. I would highly recommend her services!”


About: Hi, I’m Kate! I’m an old Indiana farm girl that raised and showed cattle and hogs most of my childhood. I am now a career flight attendant with one of the majors. I am Mama to 3 grown girls and Lala to 2 little boys. Let me help you help me! I love animals and spending time with them. I have a very flexible schedule for work and would rather stay home and in the area with my family than travel as much right now. I will follow your instructions as given, always clean up after any animal and be observant of anything else going on in the home as I have been a homeowner for many years. Meticulous tidying skills right here. 😊 Also, if your animal comes to my house, I have a large fenced in backyard for them to jump and play.

About: Hi. My name is Misty R. I have had pets all my life. I have never met a dog, cat, chicken, etc I didn't like. I love animals. I am looking forward to meeting your pet and loving it like my own. I personally have cats and dogs both so I know how important it is to take care of them and keep them safe. I want to provide peace of mind while your away at work or on vacation. To love and protect your pet and spoil it if allowed. I live in Eaton, Ohio and am willing to travel outside of town if need be. I hope this intro helps. If anything schedule your dates and we can meet. Hopefully I can help you with your pets. If ypu have any questions don't hesitate to ask. Trustworthy! Retired Military! I currently work 7 to 3 full time. However I can get up early beforehand and drop by and after and in the evenings. Whatever you prefer! I have a fenced in yard. I can also crate your pet depending on what you prefer. I can also come to your home and do as you wish.

About: I have been pet sitting for family members, friends and even people recommending me to others since I was 15! I would love to watch your animals as well!! I also work at an animal eye doctor that I have been at for over 2 years now and love it! I’m not afraid of any animal or task and would totally enjoy the time to get to know your lovely pets :) I currently work for an animal eye doctor 5 days a week so I am looking for someone that needs me for the weekend! I can do drop ins after 6 or even early in the mornings before 7 if needed. I also want to offer dog walking on the weekends, Saturday and Sunday. I cannot take pets into my home because it would not work with my pets at home but I am comfortable staying at others homes to care for their animals and any other house tasks such as watering plants or any other job I am put up to!

About: I love animals and I’ve been around them most of my life! I have a dog of my own that I’ve had for 8 years, so I’m very familiar with their behaviors and how to take care of them! Pet care fits into my daily routine as I am currently studying Wildlife Biology and minoring in Aquatic Science at Purdue University. I believe this will be the perfect opportunity to get me started in my animal career! I live in town so it’s perfect to take your dog on a walk whenever they need to go outside! I do have a crate if needed and I have a small dog of my own that I’m sure your dog would love the company. Also, I’m willing to take care of your pet at your home so whatever routines you have to take care of your pet I will follow! I love taking pictures of my pets, so I can definitely take some of your animals too.

About: I have taken care of pets within my own home for my entire life. Feeding, walking, and playing are second nature! Secondly, I have had almost 2 years of experience in a professional shelter environment, learning about dog body language, medication and it's administration, and cheap and effective enrichment ideas for all dog needs! With a passion in animal care and a revamped schedule I have found a lot of free time and would love to use that passion for those in need! Can watch both dogs and cats, have watched large groups, disabled animals and those with very specific needs/ medication requirements. I work full time on the weekends and go to school, I am mostly available during the week, but all hours are available within reason! I prefer to do sitting work at the clients house as my living situation is already full of animals. Having 3 dogs and 3 cats in my home, it is not wise to bring additional animals with minimal meeting beforehand. Therefore I am willing and able to watch any animal within your living situation, following whatever routines and local rules as needed!
