Dog Sitting New Palestine

About: My family and I have owned dogs since before I can remember, and I have helped take care of them, as well as petsit for others, since I was old enough to do so on my own. I am a generally calm and affectionate person around dogs, which makes me a good fit for more anxious/nervous dogs. I currently work on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, which leaves weekends and Monday/Friday open for me to house/petsit! On Mondays I am free in the mornings and after 5pm, and on Fridays + weekends I am completely free. As I have my own anxious dog at home who really prefers to be a single dog, I am more comfortable housesitting than boarding. I am adaptable to most dog schedules, and am used to both high energy and low energy dogs.

About: I have been a regular pet sitter for friends, family, and coworkers since I was a teenager. I have experience with large or small dogs, elderly dogs, cats, and pets that need medication or other accommodations. I have experience with dog-sitting for up to two weeks at a time. This has sometimes included, but is not limited to, administering medication, cleaning up messes inside and outside, walking, feeding, and bathing. Ensuring the safety, health, and happiness of each pet I take care of is my top priority and it is one of my favorite things to do in the world! I do not have the same schedule weekly, so I will constantly update my availability. I only know my availability up to 3 weeks in advance. Unless I have to work very early the next day, I am available for overnights at least 3 days a week (typically). I am unable to have pets at my house because I live with a family member’s dog that does not do well with other animals. Please give me any and all instructions! I will make sure to follow any routine that I can for your pet to be comfortable. I will provide as many updates/photos as requested.

About: IVDD experienced dachshund mom with hands on rehab experience, plus years caring for rescue dogs and high energy heelers through walks, training, and overnight sitting with deep compassion. Pet care is a central part of my routine. With a part time job and flexible schedule, I’m able to prioritize walks, enrichment, and one-on-one attention so dogs feel safe, supported, and at home. I provide calm and structured care that closely follow a dog's existing routine. I do use crate training with positive reinforcement when I have to leave the house. I offer IVDD safe handling, walks, interactive play, and will send you 2 updates per day with photos while you're away.

“Sammy was wonderful. Always going the extra distance by giving us details on if they ate their wet food and drank water while she was here. Thank you!”

About: I've had dogs and cats my whole life, and love them deeply. I volunteered with a cat rescue for 5 years, and last year started volunteering with a pitbull rescue, including doggy days out, events, and fostering. I wake up around 8am and feed my cat before letting my dogs out in the backyard for a potty break and to run around for a bit. I feed them and let them in to eat, and then play with them periodically while I work, and let them outside every two hours or so. If work allows, I take them for a midday walk as well. In the evening we hang out on the couch while I read or watch a show, and then they are crated for bedtime until we wake up. I have a fenced in backyard and two friendly dogs to play with. Both are happily crated at bedtime or when we leave the house.

“Kristina is very sweet and communicative. My pets instantly felt comfortable with her during the meet and greet-even my shy baby. I’ve enjoyed booking her and will continue to book her to watch over my fur babies.”

About: I am a dog mom through and through! Growing up in the country we had many dogs of all breeds I enjoyed. Now I am the proud mom to two mini dachshunds who love to hike and nap with me. I have watched many friends dogs and cats throughout the last couple years. Connecting with new animals brings me happiness plus I know how hard it is to find a trusted pet sitter for your animals. I want to be the best fit for your fur babies so let's connect! I am available part time for pet sitting. Weekends are more open than week days at this moment. I will only accept work I can fully dedicate my time and energy to. I always provide the safest transportation if needed. I carry dog treats, water, poop bags, and leash with me in my SUV. Plenty of room for a dog of any size. When visiting your home I will respect your privacy and home. I promise to leave all areas as clean as they were when I arrived. I will always double check locks, doors and the animals needs before exiting.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 10 years old. My family owns many pets and has consistently relied on me to provide care for them. I trained my dog when he was a puppy and I am confident in handling medications for older pets as well, so I am comfortable working with a wide age range of animals. I am currently a college student looking for a summer job, so I would have plenty of time to care for your pets! I am available on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday after 4:30 p.m and any other day of the week at any time. I am absolutely open to multiple daily visits or even staying overnight if necessary. I will send updates throughout the day so you can rest assured your pup is well taken care of!

“Taylor is awesome! She was attentive and kind to my pup while I was on vacation. She sent regular, thorough updates with adorable pictures. Having Taylor watch my dog eased my anxiety about being away because I knew she was in great hands.”

“Lucy is the BEST of the BEST!! This was our first time having pet sitting for our cat and with negative boarding experiences in the past, we were so nervous at how she would do with being left at home but Lucy did an INCREDIBLE job with Jinx! She has been so comfortable being in her own space and I can see how happy she was when Lucy came to check on her and play with her. She set up a meet and greet before booking to make sure everyone was comfortable and sent some adorable photos with every check in visit which gave us so much peace of mind while out of the country! Lucy is the sweetest and truly, truly treats your pet(s) like her own pack and I absolutely cannot recommend her enough. Thank you, Lucy!!”

“Marek went above & beyond for my requests, he even wiped up the floor when it was raining. He brought & used HIS OWN towel for that. 10/10 would always use his services again!”

“Nicole was great to work with, especially since our travel plans changed at the last minute. She kept us updated on our diabetic cat, and even gave him his twice a day insulin shots. We would definitely book Nicole again.”

About: I work from home Monday - Friday so your lovable friend will be consistently monitored, I have a two story home with three bedrooms however it’s just my husband and I with our three cats so lots of space, I also have a fenced in backyard and live in a walkable neighborhood in Cumberland Indiana if your pet needs to be walked. ☺️ I’ve had several years of hands-on experience caring for cats with a wide range of personalities, including shy, independent, high-energy, and more strong-willed (‘spicy’) temperaments. My experience comes from raising and caring for my own three cats, each with very different needs and behaviors. I’ve worked closely with rescue cats and understand the patience and consistency required to help them feel safe and comfortable in a new environment. I’m very attentive to body language and behavioral cues, which allows me to adjust my care style to each pet’s comfort level. In my home, I provide a calm, structured, and low-stress environment. I have the ability to separate pets if needed, making it ideal for animals who are shy, anxious, or prefer their own space. I prioritize cleanliness, routine, and safety at all times. I work from home full-time, which allows me to provide consistent, attentive care for pets throughout the day. I have several automatic feeders and scheduled wet food times, along with fresh water bowls, so meals are always on time. My husband also comes home at the same time each day, providing extra hands and supervision to ensure pets feel safe and attended to. Our home has a predictable routine, which helps cats feel comfortable and secure. I’m able to adjust playtime, attention, or quiet time to match each pet’s personality, whether they prefer independent relaxation or interactive enrichment. My home is a calm, secure space for pets, located in a safe neighborhood. It’s just my husband, our three cats, and me—no kids—so the environment is quiet and low-traffic. I have multiple rooms available to help cats adjust comfortably, so shy or independent pets can have their own space, while those who enjoy company can stay nearby in my home office while I work. Caring for my own three cats gives me firsthand experience with multi-cat dynamics, and I know how to manage interactions to ensure all pets feel safe and stress-free. I maintain a clean, structured environment with consistent routines, monitored feeding and hydration, and lots of attention to comfort and enrichment. Whether your pet needs quiet personal space or friendly companionship, I tailor their care to make sure they feel safe, happy, and well-cared for while you’re away.

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats most of my life and I am very confident that I can provide you and your animals the best service that you need Caring for pets isn’t my side job — it’s my full-time commitment. I dedicate my days to providing safe, attentive, and loving care to every pet I work with. Because this is what I do full time, your pet gets my full focus, patience, and energy — not rushed visits squeezed between other responsibilities. I’m experienced with a wide range of personalities, from high-energy pups to shy or anxious pets who need a gentle approach. I take the time to learn your pet’s routine, quirks, and comfort needs so they feel secure and happy while you’re away. You can expect consistent communication, regular updates, and lots of photos — because I know peace of mind matters just as much as great care. My goal is simple: your pet feels loved, and you feel completely confident leaving them with me. I currently provide pet care exclusively in my clients’ homes so your dog can stay comfortable in their own familiar environment. I’ve found that many pets feel less stress when they’re able to stick to their normal routine, and I’m committed to keeping that routine consistent while you’re away. At home, I have two incredibly well-trained, friendly dogs who are well-socialized and wonderful with other animals. Because of them, I’m very experienced in understanding canine behavior, body language, and different personality types. That experience allows me to confidently care for dogs of all temperaments — from playful and energetic to shy or anxious. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priority.

About: I’ve been around all types of dogs my whole life, from puppies to seniors. Along with house sitting for family and friends, I have worked in a kennel and with shelter animals. I am also heading towards a career working with animals! I am working part time, but am flexible with my schedule. I am always available afternoons and nights on weekdays and weekends. I can also make mornings work if needed! I have an anxious boy at home who is not great with other animals, so caring for pets in their home would work best for me. I can follow instructions down to the letter and am adaptable to any schedules in place!

“There are times that I believe Minnie likes Rafael more than she likes me, and I’m okay with that. It tells me that the care she receives is top notch. I couldn’t ask for more.”

“So glad I found Jessica! She is very attentive and good with even the most detailed requests. I was so grateful for her check ins and her willing to message me to make sure she is doing what is best for your babies🤍”

“Josephine was very accommodating and provided great service to my kitties! Definitely will rebook for future needs!”

“Alexandria was a great sitter during our extended time away from our pets. She made the pets feel comfortable, followed all our instructions, and communicated following her visits and as we needed. Should we need a sitter in the future, we'll certainly reach out to her again! We highly recommend.”

About: I have watched and taken care of dogs and cats since I was little. I have great experience with animals I first meet, even if they seem a bit mean. I have raised my own dog for the past 10 years with issues in anxiety, from pup to adult pup! I understand feeding times and how important they can be to making sure medication is delivered appropriately. While i travek with my wife, i have dealt with a wide variety of dogs from the app, nothing has been to hard to deal with or anything i couldnt handle! With patience and adaptability is how I persevere. I am also LGBTQ+ friendly! I do not discriminate and want to foster good relationships with my clients so they know I can be trusted to take care if their pet! (Or home, in the event I house sit!) I am generally open to anything my time slots provide. Overnights should not be an issue but will need to be talked about prior to booking. I do NOT have have a place to house dogs so currently I am only a house sitter. Please let me know if you have any questions! I used to care for 2 dogs and a cat while i was with my wife but now i just have the cat. The cat is very much self sufficient, although she does revel in all the pets that we have to offer, but the dogs take more work! I love to take dogs on walks in the various parks around where i am living and will do the same for yours! If you have favorite spot let me know about it!! I can incorporate a walk there for your pups if you would like!
