“I was so nervous to leave Faith with a stranger, but Ella was wonderful with her!! She came over for a meet and greet the day before. She was extremely patient and low-key, which is just what Faith needs. I was thrilled to receive video and picture updates throughout the day. I would definitely recommend Ella as a sitter for anyone looking in the Shelbyville area :)”

About: My Golden Retriever, Dutch, loves animals of all sizes! I provide pet sitting in my home and welcome your best friend to stay while you are away. Walks around our quiet neighborhood and trips to the dog park (if appropriate) are part of our pet sitting package. I take only one dog at a time (two if from the same family) to ensure your dog has a special stay while you are away! I work remotely several days a week, and close by and can come home as needed when scheduled ahead. I also have a puppy cam to keep an eye on things while I am away! Lifelong dog mom, caring for other dogs brings me a sense of joy! My home is clean and safe for your dog. I have a field behind me and Dutch enjoys laying in the sun and snow in our back yard. Your dog will be walked daily and can be contained in the back yard if they enjoy being outside. I have references upon request and a long history raising and caring for dogs.

“Kyle was very helpful and attentive to my cats. I appreciate his drop ins the last two days. The most important thing is that they both felt very comfortable with him. Thanks Kyle!”

“Caroline did great with our two Malamutes. She sent lots of pictures and even put away our girls dog food that was delivered while we were away!”

About: What sets me apart is my 25+ years of hands-on experience caring for a wide range of pets—from playful puppies to senior dogs with special needs, as well as cats and bunnies. I don’t just “watch” pets—I truly understand their behaviors, routines, and emotional needs. I provide a safe, loving environment with a fenced yard, personalized care, and plenty of daily walks, treats, cuddles, and playtime. I’m also prepared to handle extra needs like crate training, light grooming, and senior care. Most importantly, I treat every pet like my own—giving them the attention, patience, and comfort they deserve while you’re away. 🐾 With over 25 years of hands-on pet care experience, I’ve lovingly cared for dogs of all ages—from energetic puppies to senior dogs with special needs—as well as cats and bunnies. I provide daily walks, treats, cuddles, and playtime, and treat every pet like family. 🐾 I offer a secure fenced yard for safe roaming, a heavy-duty crate available upon request, and a variety of pet-safe toys and treats. If your fur baby needs a bath or light grooming, I’m equipped with hygiene supplies, brushes, and combs to keep them clean and comfortable. 🐾

About: I have always had dogs, raising them from puppies. I have had old dogs, sick dogs, active dogs, pure breeds, and mixed breeds. They always become part of the family. I work from home and am usually only away for a couple of hours at a time. If I know ahead of time that a specific pet needs more attention, I can schedule accordingly. I have a fenced yard with a doggie door. I keep the doggie door shut unless an owner asks for me to use it. I do not have any children or pets of my own in my home at this time. I live in a quiet neighborhood. A very calm environment.

About: I've been a part of a foster family for dogs of all ages since 2010 and will continue to do so even longer. The puppy litters I watched over the years have consisted of 4 puppies or less. The oldest "puppies" I've fostered were just about 6 months old but they are usually around 4 to 8 weeks. The oldest dogs I've watched were two small dogs: one was 16 years old and the other was 14 years old. Even before fostering, I watched and walked my neighbor's two dogs during all seasons. If she had not moved away, I would still be walking and caring for them now. I've always had a passion for dogs and my current dog, Ruby, is my second .

About: I have had cats and dogs since I was a kid and raised and trained multiple dog breeds, including German Shepard’s, Shelties, and Grey hounds. Animals have always taken a liking to me and I have had a passion for wanting to care for animals for as long as I can remember! I will love and care for your fur baby as if it was my own! I currently work a full time job out of the house but have some work from home flexibility. I am available for weekend and evening care and some weekly daytimes. I have a fully fenced in yard with lots of room to run and play! I like to be active, so your fur baby is always welcome to join for walks, hikes, and various adventures and even some pup cups if mom/dad approve! I am very trustworthy and respectful of your home and belongings.

“I so appreciated being able to easily communicate with Angi and the pictures Angi sent me with each visit. She did a nice job of keeping my two cats fed, watered, and giving them human contact while I was away. I will definitely request Angi’s help in the future.😊”

About: I have my own dog at home and I am always asked to take care of my grandparents dog everytime they're away. I love dogs and always want them to be comfortable in my care. I currently work part time at a custodial company and I babysit at night as well. My work schedule is very flexible, it is a four hour shift and I have time in between then to have a pet care job. I always make sure they have water and food when they need to. I love taking my dog on walks and making sure to take him on bathroom breaks when he needs to. I also make sure to give my cat space when I need to but also play with her when she wants to.

About: Hi, my name is Zuri! I’ve been around animals all my life! I’ve grown up with dogs, cats, lizards, geckos, fish, goats, chickens, and so much more! I’m comfortable with dogs of any size, breed, and age! I’ve dog-sat and cared for animals for friends and family for years. Communication is very important to me so I like to keep in touch with all my clients. I am currently available all day Saturday and Sunday and 5 pm- 12 am Monday to Friday! I am available to do overnight stays during the weekend and require only 24 hours' notice for drop-in visits. I have a large backyard and 2-3 other dogs who can keep your pup company! As well as 2 barn cats and chickens! I have a large outdoor crate and a smaller indoor crate if your pup becomes overwhelmed and needs a break. I typically walk my dog 2 miles in the morning, and then play fetch and tug-of-war for an hour after we train for 30 minutes, I do this 3-6 times a day depending on my schedule for the day!

About: Hi! I'm Sami, and I am THRILLED to meet your loved one. ME AS A SITTER: My number one priority while caring for your loved one is their comfort. I believe having patience and allowing your pet to make the first move is important when first establishing a routine or any sort of bond. Anything you or your loved one needs for our time together, I'm there for it all! I have always had a passion for animals and find it an absolute blessing to spend time with any and all. WHAT I CAN DO: I am comfortable with pets of all shapes, sizes, and energy levels. This includes pets that need medication, special dietary restrictions, or even pets that don't like to be too close but just need a little company- I'm just happy to meet your pet no matter what they need! MY PET BACKGROUND: I have experience housesitting with dogs/cats for up to a week. In this time, I maintained the house, watered plants, fed both cats and dogs, took care of trash and mail, etc. My family has had up to 8 dogs at once, ranging from puppy to senior. Now, we currently have 3 dogs and even a pet rabbit. I found a passion for training pets/encouraging good behavior, which led me to teach my pup tricks like roll over, bang bang, dance, etc., and we both loved every minute! We also took in a stray feral cat (was stuck in a car hood, long story), and for the past few months I have successfully worked hard to make a connection and bond with her! I do also help care for the cat in my home in Indiana. I have given pets medication many times, including wound care, vet visits, and special feeding instructions. I currently work part-time at a restaurant, with my shift typically starting at 3pm. My schedule does tend to shift around, but on days I do work, I am flexible with when I can watch your loved one and am willing to visit as much as possible before and after work. However, when I'm not working, I am more than happy to spend as much time with your pet as possible/wanted. While in your home, I will be around your pet 24/7, making sure they are safe and comfortable. I love playing with pets but can also enforce rules and regulations set up for your pet with ease. I can handle crating, leashing, feeding, picking up messes, and more. If housesitting, I am happy to assist in pickup and general house upkeep, including trash night, collecting mail, dusting, etc.

“Eric did a wonderful job helping with our 2 energetic pups! He went above and beyond and communicated well. They were very well cared for! Thank you, Eric!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was about 17. I own 1 and 1 cat. I worked at a pet store for 2 years and loved all the animals coming in and out ❤️ I Range from working part time to full time but I am very flexible! I love making and creating a scheldue to follow ! Especially for the pups I have a nice little yorkie if your pup needs a friend! Otherwise I am a great in home watcher. I also have a black cat that loves to play but not the best with bigger dogs !

About: I’ve been caring for animals my whole life, starting with my own pets — Mowgli, my six-year-old cat, Flynn, my three-year-old pit-lab mix, and Bailey my one and half year old Wheatens. Over the years I’ve learned how to keep both cats and dogs comfortable, happy, and understood. I know how to give medications, come up with fun enrichment activities, and read their behavior to meet them where they are. Every visit is about connection, care, and keeping tails wagging (or purring) My schedule is very flexible, and I’m happy to adjust to your pet’s routine. I usually prefer earlier visits, but I can work around what fits best for you. Consistency and comfort come first, so your pets always know what to expect. Safety and peace of mind matter most to me. I care for pets in their own familiar space, keeping them relaxed and secure. I’m attentive to changes in behavior or health, handle medications with care, and always make sure every pet feels loved and safe while you’re away.

“Emily is able to check in on my pet on both Christmas eve and the day of Christmas, and was very flexible on time. She takes instructions very responsibly and was great with my skittish cat.”

About: Hello!! I have had a dog since I was born and learned to feed and walk them at a young age. I take care of my neighbors dog when she has commitments. My daughter and I take him out for a walk end of the night so she doesn’t have to when she gets home. I’ve house sat on weekends so friends can have a weekend vacation. Also have taken a friends’ dog for walks after school before they get home so the pup can go potty. I work full time Monday through Friday but home by 4:45 everyday. I can can care for your pet in my home starting Friday nights to Sundays for your weekend get aways. I also can do a drop in visit and take your pet for walks and play for a bit if you have to work late or convenience. My daughter and I would cuddle, play and love your pet. We play outside and go for walks a lot. With permission we go to the dog park to run off energy or play with friends of mine’s dogs. Jumping on the couch is never an issue. I prefer to them to get comfortable on couch pillows as if it’s his/her home. The less stress/anxiety on your pet the better. Your pet will never wait in the morning to go outside potty as 5:30am is typically sleeping in for me. My daughter loves to do tricks or even try to teach new ones. I work full time during the week. I am available for drop ins and dog walks during the week after 4:15. Starting Friday night by 4:30 I’m available for boarding and house sitting. On this Rover platform it is set to weekends only for boarding but if you have a cat that needs a long stay that is totally fine and would be happy to do that. When I board an animal I try to be home as much as possible or make it a day event for a walk in the trails (with a leash of course), or play with friends of mines pets. When your pet is in my care I like to have all of my errands finished that way we have constant interaction, opportunities to snuggle/play and go for walks. The more time I have with your pet I hope the more comfortable they feel. Your pet already misses their human and wouldn’t want to leave them alone. I can board up to 2 dogs per family at a time but wouldn’t take on any more to avoid possible temperaments or jealousy. When going for walks I have your pup on a leash at all times. I have a family environment home so your family pup will always have attention. I like to send a few pictures and videos each day to let you know he/she is safe and having a good time.

About: I have taken care of dogs my whole life. Our family has always had a dog and we couldn't imagine our life without them! I have also cared for our family, friends and neighbors dogs. I am a stay at home mom which gives me plenty of time to care for dogs! We are home most weekends and are available for boarding. We have a large yard, not fenced but we take a lot of walks and have stakes in the backyard for the dogs to play outside.
