“Celsei took great care of my little buddy Theo last minute when he wasn't feeling well and I didn't want him home alone. She took great care of him and kept me very informed of all of theos activities throughout the day. I will definitely have Celsei be my go-to sitter in the event I need one again! ?”

“Catherine was more then we could ever hope for with our Danny. She was so great from the minute they met he treated her like a trusted family member. Knowing how much she cares for animal and her kind calming personality was comforting to us all. I would recommend her to everyone I know. Thank you for the updates with pictures and text. You are outstanding!”


“The experience with Ernie and Ruth Ann (and Martha) far exceeded our expectations. Ernie and Ruth Ann are well-seasoned pet sitters whose goal was to provide our dog with a safe, comfortable, and enjoyable environment. Our dog was eager to go inside their home on multiple visits. They provided feedback each day on behavior and activities along with pictures and videos. They took great care in introducing and properly socializing the two dogs. We would gladly use Ernie and Ruth Ann again and highly recommend them!”


“Lucy is amazing!! Brody just lost his big fur sister a couple of days ago, and has been really lonely and suffering. I brought him to Lucy's for day care for a few days til we can adopt a new buddy for him... and I swear, he wants a new mom while we're at it! He doesn't even need me anymore, he's just enamored with Lucy. She has been so kind and he is so happy spending time with her. She's great with updating me throughout the day and matches his energy level perfectly. Couldn't be one bit happier!! Would definitely recommend letting your pets hang out with Lucy!!”


“I can’t say enough great things about Jenny!!! She was very professional and very pleasant with our furry baby. Jenny sent me pictures and videos of our lovely dog I most definitely will book with her again. Thanks dear Jenny??”


“Nikole and her family were great to Eva. She had fun with Daisy the whole day in their yard. Nikole sent me pictures and updates during the day. It was cold and Nikole followed my advice to put the winter coat on Eva as she is not used to the snow. Also, Eva is Brazilian and Nikole was able to learn few words in Portuguese to be able to communicate with her. I booked Nikole to watch Eva next week again and will continue to book her every time I travel. Eva has a second home in Indiana.”


“Teddy was so happy at their place!! I got regular updates, with pictures. The family was really friendly and they really took a good care of my dog. Thank you so much once again!”

I also have a spacious living area for them to roam around freely indoors with plenty of toys and our own dog and cat to keep them company.

About: My fiancé and I have cared for dogs of various breeds, sizes, and temperaments, from puppies to senior dogs requiring special attention. Our experience includes feeding according to dietary needs, ensuring regular exercise through walks and playtime, administering medications, and maintaining a safe, clean environment. And let’s not forget, all the cuddles your pup will allow! Pet care fits seamlessly into our weekly routine, as both my fiancé, Renas, and I work from home. I work part-time and he works full-time, which means one of us is always home to provide attentive care. Renas shares my love for animals and is always actively involved in caring for the pets we welcome. Our schedules are flexible and fully adaptable to meet your pet’s unique needs. While your pet is in our care, we will follow any schedule/routine that fits your pets needs. We will also ensure proper feeding/watering and any dietary restrictions. Pets will have regular walks and playtime as well as proper physical and mental stimulation such as engaging in games or activities that cater to the pet’s personality and energy level. If games and activities aren’t your pets cup of tea, we can be great couch potatoes and cuddle buddies as well. Maintaining a clean pet environment is a priority ensuring their space is free from hazards. Any basic grooming needs will also be provided. Last but not least, we are happy to keep pet owners updated regularly through messages, pictures, or videos to provide peace of mind. (Pets are allowed on furniture and are welcome to sleep in bed if preferred 😊) Side note- We live in a two story home on a half acre lot that backs up to a wooded area.

There’s also several trails nearby that’s great for dog walking and adventures!

About: I’m usually the first person my family calls when they need someone to care for their cutie pets while they’re away. As a grad student and pet owner myself, I understand the emotional support that animals can provide! Pets are family members and I understand what it takes to look after family. I send daily photo updates and report back any information requested. I have experience maintaining training schedules for puppies. I’m diligent at following care plans and requests. Overall, I truly to enjoy connecting with animals and their owners alike! Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and considering me.

I am available most weekends and weekdays. My schedule is subject to change in a few weeks with the start of a new semester. My goal is to continue the quality of care that your pet is used to. I want to reduce the amount of stress they might experience in the absence of their loving owner(s)! Keeping their routine as similar as possible is key. Meal times, walk times, crate/no crate, on/off furniture, treats, etc. are all things I try to attend to. I am open to specific requests your pet might need!

“Gage is great! Excellent communication, flexible with drop off/pick up, and obviously loves dogs. He kept Sammy busy all day - which is definitely a chore lol His dogs are very friendly, and he had a big yard for them all to run around in.”



About: Dogs are a marvelous source of companionship. I show them compassion and are attentive to their needs. I enjoy running with dogs, playing fetch, holding, and petting dogs. I have experience in playing with dogs, grooming, bathing, feeding, and walking dogs. While growing as a young child, my dad brought home various dogs at sundry times. I was the dog's main caregiver. My mother eventually would release the dogs because she did not like them, but I was able to build a solid experience and bond with them before she did. In Jamaica where my parents were born, their are many outdoor dogs roaming the streets. I easily befriend them and usually play with them and feed them. My schedule is flexible with me usually being available in the morning. If the price for my service is not suitable for you, I am open for negotiation. Call or text me. God bless you and your family.

About: I have babysat for many family members and friends. I worked at a dog daycare business for 3 years as well! I have tons of experience with just about any breed, and I am always happy to learn something new about taking care of your pet! I’m a current student at IU Bloomington, so I’d love to help out between classes and studying! My schedule is usually pretty open throughout the week. I love going for walks or just hanging out at home with pets, let me know whatever your furry friend needs to have the best time possible!


About: I love all animals. I especially love dogs and cats. I have worked with animal rescue groups and I volunteer my time to help shelters and their efforts. I have had dogs and cats all of my life. Mostly large breeds. I am comfortable with any large breed. I am also very patient with dogs that are still learning. When I am walking a dog I am fully focused on them and do not try to rush them. I help reassure them if they feel anxious or unsure of their surroundings. It should be an enjoyable and healthy experience for the dog and for me as well! I would like to have several regulars that know me and are excited to get a routine going. Having a relationship with the dog and owners is important to me so everyone can feel comfortable.

“Katie has taken care of my cat on multiple occasions and has been very attentive to his needs, all while keeping me updated with photos and videos to fill the void of missing him while away.

I have known her for nearly a decade and can attest to her character, and know that anyone would be so lucky to have their pet within her care.”
