About: As many others I’ve grown up having multiple pets. I have always had a passion for caring for animals. I worked at an animal shelter where I provided the best care whether it was dog walking, giving vaccinations, drawing blood, and more. I am a stay at home mom currently so I have plenty of time to devote to taking care of animals. I want to be able to incorporate daily outings into my routine. I have two friendly dogs and two cats. We have a large yard without a fence, but two long attached leads. We also have a decent sized house that allows for indoor play.

About: I’ve always always had a soft spot in my heart for animals. My parents have always had a ton, from a bunch of different breeds of dogs to pigs, to chameleons, to bunnies. I’ve always had experience with animals, it’s odd if I don’t have one around! I have a kitty named Nala and a Cocker Spaniel named Goose. They are my pride and joy! I feel as though pet care is just as important as self care. Animals are there for us, as our support, therefore, they should be taken care of just as well. Making sure that your animal is not only healthy, but happy is a priority to me! Having a routine and making sure that all needs are met is a must. I feel as though your home is also your pets home, therefore, enabling them to have their own space is important. Also, making sure your animal is fed and watered and stimulated and energized plays a large role. Playing with toys or running around in the yard are both great ways of stimulating the brain!

About: I have been around dogs my whole life and began to work with dogs at local shelters as well as caring for dogs of friends and family from a young age. I also have experience with cats, fish, guinea pigs and am flexible to learn to care for any animal! I try to make every animal feel at home with me by doing their favorite things like playing with toys, going on walks or to the park or lots of cuddles if that is what they prefer! I have experience with some basic puppy training as well as I have house trained and socialized my own dogs from a young age. I have a full time job but work remotely and have a fairly flexible schedule. I can schedule in walks or pet care visits through the day or evenings. My pup at home is crate trained. We take lots of walks and he also enjoys running around in the fenced in yard and going to the dog park.

About: As a life long dog lover I volunteered at a vet clinic for six months and I worked as a kennel attendant at a shelter for well over 5 years. I administered medication, gave shots, exercised and trained all breeds and types, bathed all types, and kept their kennels clean and the dogs twice fed twice daily. I have worked with puppies and seniors, lap dogs and mastiffs. Meeting new dog friends every day was the highlight of my job! To supplement my income I spent time house and pet sitting for local friends. In addition to dogs and cats, I've spent 3 years of my life working on horse farms and I'm available to care for barn babies as well. Let's talk! While I work part-time, my hours are very limited and will leave me plenty of time to play with your fur baby or check on your barn babies at least twice a day. We have a large fenced in back yard for dogs to run around in, some comfortable and cool places for dogs to chill indoors, and we can take frequent walks as a family.

“This was our first time using Rover. Beth was everything we could hope for. Our dog is pretty skittish, but Beth endeared herself to our anxious pup in no time. Beth communicated well, posted pictures, and did everything I asked of her. We highly recommend Beth and will definitely call on her again!”

About: I grew up as a ‘chicken whisperer’ and showed bunnies in 4H, so I truly love animals. I’ve spent some time helping my mom with her pet sitting, and I’ll treat your dogs, cats, or farm friends like my own family. I’m a full-time Purdue student, so while my weekdays are busy with classes, I have a few gaps for midday walks and quick check-ins. I’m also available for a lot of weekend fun! Just message me to see if our schedules align. Since I live in a Purdue dorm, I’ll come to your home where your pets feel most comfortable! I am happy to travel to you for walks, check-in’s, or playdates in their own familiar space.

About: I have grown up with all kinds of animals from a very young age. I’ve always thought that I liked spending time with animals more than people. And have always had a love for them. :) I work a part-time job that feels full time but that’s because I work with the public, however I’m trying to switch to something more flexible. Evenings work best for me but knowing ahead of time I can do mornings too. My cats have free roam as it’s equally their house, however I can put them away. If it’s your home I can do whatever is asked for me. For outside I have a lot of land but it’s open.

About: I have 3 dogs and three cats have trained all my animals myself. I have patience and understanding with most dogs and cats. Friendly loving and passionate about animal care I have helped with several litters of cats and love to help family and friends be able to understand their animal best friends. Good at time management and healthy fur care for all animals. I watch all three of my dogs majority of the day and keep them on a feeding schedule. I maintain their outdoor patio for play. Provide healthy meals, baths and maintain their strength with healthy dog park activities and play time. They are my friends and many times the best support. Dog kennel training is important. I ensure my pets don’t get territorial about their food or ensure they are apart during feeding. Heathy diets, good activity and a healthy environment for them to grow especially in all types of weather. They have AC for the heat. Outdoor time and lots of indoor time during hard cold days. They are very well hydrated with plenty of water through the day and potty time with park time

About: I have an absolute LOVE! For animals and I have had all kinds from raccoons to goats and to monkeys (obviously dogs though too!). So I know what it takes to care for someone’s pet. I studied at Purdue for Wildlife so if that doesn’t say something about my passion for animals and being outside with animals I don’t know what will! Also I will be doing this because I do love animals and not just for the money, the money is just something nice added on and to help with college expenses (I also am staying in the area during summer so I’m here all year round to become a regular with your family for years to come!). Knowing this you should be completely comfortable knowing your adorable family companion will be in not good but GREAT hands! I love going the extra mile for any animal in my care. I will always make sure I give my full attention/ available time slots to your pet. I will never try scheduling times if I’m unsure if I can fulfill your full needs. I will give all of the cuddles your pet needs (or give them space if they need it) and send tons of pictures. I will make sure they get everything needed such as medicine, food, and exercise.

“Marissa did a good job of handling my reactive dog. He is 65 pounds of pure muscle and can be really hard to handle on walks, but she did great!”

About: Taking care of animals is a passion! Whether it be walking, or just giving well deserved attention and overall the care they need to be happy! I work full time but i am available mornings and late nights to help exert your dogs energy or just provide them a fun outlet! I have two cats that are leash trained! i know how easily they can get distracted and i remain alert to their needs. Having someone who cares while also being observant is key!

“Hannah always takes such good care of my pup! She goes above and beyond, has great communication, and she takes the cutest pics of him to send me while I’m at work. The best! ❤️”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10 years old. I grew up in a home with 3 dogs at all times. We have had a range of small pups, and also big/high energy ones like golden retrievers and huskies! I did obedience classes and shows with my Yorkee Poo for 4 years. I have provided dog sitting for close family friends for many years now, including walks, feeding, bathing, transporting (for a dog breeder), and boarding. I also raised five husky puppies, so I have a lot of experience with young pups, too. Pet care fits really naturally into my weekly routine because I work from home while starting my own business, which gives me plenty of flexibility throughout the day. I’m available for drop-ins and walks any day of the week, with the only structured hours being my part-time shifts on Tuesdays and Thursdays (7.5 hours), when I’m still able to do morning and evening visits. I don’t have pets of my own here in Indiana, so I love getting the chance to spend time with other people’s animals—whether that’s outdoor walks or cozy indoor hangouts. I grew up with pets as a daily part of life, so caring for them feels familiar, natural, and genuinely fulfilling. Whenever I am caring for pets in a client's home, I make sure to follow any specific direction given by the pet owners. Whether that is s feeding schedule, regular walks, cuddles, or crating, I always make sure to understand a client's expectations and take care of their animals with the same love and care that they would.

About: Hello, my name is Kalena! I am very passionate about all kinds of animals - I have had cats, dogs, guinea pigs, fish, rats, and mice. I have had numerous pet and house-sitting jobs, and I have volunteered at several animal shelters. I am detail-oriented, so I will take any special instructions in stride. I graduated with a Bachelor of Science from Purdue University in 2022. I currently have a flexible schedule with full-time availability. I will do research beforehand on the breed you own as to provide optimal care. I can bring supplies if needed. I am able to walk animals, bathe them, groom them, play with them, and I can do overnight care. I have a valid driver's license, so I can transport the animal if needed. If you're in need, I would be love the opportunity to take care of your animal family! I am able to integrate whatever pet care you require into my daily routine. I can be there to walk, feed, clean, play with, or hang out with your pet at any time of the day! I make sure to give plenty of love to each pet and ensure that I follow the owner's care instructions carefully. I will take whatever safety precautions are needed to ensure the animal is well taken care of.

About: Hi!! My name is Marissa Gordon, I’m 27, married and own a bi-level home with lots of space. I have a backyard with a large deck overlooking a woodsy ravine that dogs love hanging out on to watch wildlife and relax with us! Our house is setup to keep your pets separated from ours if necessary- with 2 living rooms upstairs and downstairs. We love watching movies with them and taking them on nature walks in our neighborhood! I am a business owner so I am able to work my schedule around caring for your pets. I can tend to them and may need to leave the house for appointments no longer than 3 hours if needed but my husband also is home in the case I can’t be there 24/7. We keep your pets areas clean and cozy. Temperature controlled, access to water and we take them out to the yard when they need to potty and for walks if possible.

About: I’ve grown up around all sorts of animals. I’ve had the pleasure of caring for dogs, cats, birds, turtles, mice, and chickens! No matter the size, I’m up for the job! Starting in February, I will be stepping into a 9-5 role which has affected my client intake! While I would adore watching your beloved fur babies, please be sure that you and your fur crew are comfortable with a sitter that will be out 9-5 on weekdays. Weekends remain open! If you are comfortable with my 9-5 position, I am up for the job and can do overnights! I approach pet sitting with the mindset of meeting a pet where they’re at. If a pet seems timid and anxious, I will allow them to warm up to me however they feel comfortable. I will not force any connections with pets, and rather meet them where they’re at in their comfort. It’s very hard for some pets to adjust to a new caregiver, so I like to give them space to warm up and come to me when the time is right. I think it’s very important to keep their care as consistent as when their owners are around! It’s hard enough having their owners out of the house, but hey lady my dinner is late! I like to make sure they still have consistency during these times to make things just that much easier.

About: I've taken care of all types of dogs and cats from all age ranges. I love animals, and I have been animal-sitting since I was around 12 years old, for about 7 years. The biggest skills I have are being able to spend extra time with the animals to make them feel loved while you are away. I am currently working part-time and attending school part-time during the summer. I am very available to take care of your animals during the morning, day, and evening. I like to spend between 15 and 30 minutes with the animals between visits to make them feel loved, so they are less stressed. I make sure they are well fed and exercised daily and are enjoying their time while you are away.
