“Brittany did an excellent job--clearly experienced, took great care of the cats, was very thorough, and gave me very complete updates daily so that I never had to worry throughout my trip. I was extremely pleased and would not hesitate to recommend her!”


“During our 2.5 week vacation, Hope looked after our two young cats. She did a fantastic job! Every day, she provided us with detailed updates through the Rover app, including many pictures and videos. It was clear that our cats were very fond of Hope and enjoyed her daily visits. We returned to an impeccably clean house and two very content kitties! We highly recommend her services and plan to book her again in the near future. Thank you so much, Hope! 😸😺✨”


“It was my first time using a pet sitter but I’m a customer for life now! Adrianna did such a good job with my babies, very communicative and thorough, clean, super considerate, and an obvious animal lover. Cannot recommend enough. The perfect person if you’re picky about your animals or on the fence about hiring someone. 10/10”


“Raven did a fantastic job taking care of my cat. She communicated clearly and regularly before and during the dates of her visits, and cared for him exactly as requested. Highly recommended, will book again.”


About: I have been watching dogs/animals for most of my life. I have also had experience breeding dogs and raising puppies. I have been trusted by numerous people with their most beloved pets and homes. I have 3 dogs myself with crates for each one if needed . I can also keep them in separate rooms if needed but hopefully they play well togehter. Each pet has different needs and this will be discussed prior to boarding. I have experience with puppies to older dogs that need medicine. I have experience hosting pets and going to house sit.

“Communication was excellent and Ashley made my buddy feel right at home immediately, even offering to put up her own pet to let him adjust to a new environment. He came back happy as a clam. Cannot recommend highly enough.”


About: I grew up with plenty of cats and dogs in and outside the home. At 12, I started a "business" dog walking and learning how to give shots to a diabetic cat. For a few years I also worked with 4Pawed Redemption, a veteran-run non-profit designed to help rehome military family pets. I also successfully trained my own pup to qualify as a service animal to help a friend in need, but care doesn't stop with dogs! I've also helped with ferrets, snakes, tortoises and parakeets before-just please no tarantulas! Hope you find the help you're looking for :) Currently working part-time before going to college in August, but I have plenty of time to work around nearly any schedule within my range, and with most addresses in Batesville I can even visit the local dog park! I always ask up front about any allergies or sensitivities your pet might have, in addition to what training they have gone through and their everyday personality. By knowing how they usually act, I'm better able to help them with any signs of nervousness or anxiety and adjust their care accordingly, so it's not just about food and water with me :)

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve owned and loved pets since childhood—dogs, cats, and even horses—which has given me a lifetime of hands-on experience, patience, and deep understanding of animal behavior and care. As a current pet parent to two wonderful dogs, Jojo and Mac, I know the level of trust it takes to leave your animals in someone else’s hands. I treat every pet like family, offering dependable, loving care that meets their physical and emotional needs. I also specialize in cat care, understanding that each cat has a unique personality and comfort zone. From feeding and litter box maintenance to medication, playtime, and companionship, I provide calm, attentive service—whether your cat is a cuddler or more independent. With me, your pets are safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Our two dogs are very friendly to all walks of life! While I work full-time at a law office, I’m based in the city and have the flexibility to step out as needed during the day. This allows me to provide pet care services such as morning, midday, and evening visits, as well as weekend and overnight care when arranged in advance. My proximity and flexible schedule mean your pets can still receive attentive, timely care—even on short notice. In addition to in-home visits, I also offer pet care at my own home, which is fully pet-friendly and secure. I have a safely fenced-in yard perfect for playtime and outdoor exercise, along with indoor space designed for comfort and supervision. Crates are available if your pet is crate-trained or needs a quiet, cozy space to relax. Whether it’s for the day, overnight, or extended stays, your pet will be cared for in a loving, structured environment—just like part of the family.
