“Tracy has cared for our dogs multiple times, and always does a wonderful job! He is so pleasant to work with and you can tell he really cares about the dogs. Would recommend him to anyone looking for a dog sitter!”

“Paris has been an amazing help with our new kitten. Bill was too young to be left alone, but with our jobs we were unable to be as present for him as he needed. Paris not only has shown a great deal of care for him and our dog, but she has given us advice when we have asked for it or otherwise needed it, and genuinely cares about our pets. She is also very communicative and has been a pleasure to work with and we are sure she will continue to be as we continue having her care for our pets.”

“We love Edmy and her husband! They’re are always so great to our dogs. It makes our time away from home so much less stressful. It snowed a lot while we were gone and they were still extremely punctual and so sweet and willing to make the trek to our house despite our unpaved (long) driveway!”

About: I have been taking care of pets, mainly dogs and cats for as long as I can remember! I grew up with dogs and would take care of my neighbors animals when they went on vacation. I would also take my neighbors dogs on walks and do drop in visits if they got stuck at work or had other obligations. I work from home remotely so you can have the peace of mind that your pet wont be left unsupervised for long periods of time. The way I care for pets in the clients home is ensure I arrive on time to guarantee your pet gets the exact amount of care and attention scheduled. Every drop in I follow a strict checklist to ensure comprehensive care. My rough checklist for Drop Ins/Walks: -Immediate outdoor break with exercise -Feeding and fresh water and if needed, administer medications. -Clean up litter boxes if taking care of cats and cleaning up any possible accidents -Affection and more playtime and mental stimulation for higher energy dogs/cats. -Any other requests just ask & I will fit those into my checklist Once I leave your home I triple check to make sure your pet is secure, all windows, and doors are locked. I treat your home as its mine when I'm leaving so you never have to worry about your home being secured.
“Wes has done a fantastic job with drop-in visits for my goldendoodle. She's still in her puppy phase, and he makes time for walks and playing in the backyard. He has always been on-time and communicates well after each visit. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for dog care!”

“Very dependable even with a last minute scheduling due to a sudden illness for me. She had great empathy for me, the Mom. Checked in every appointment, along with pictures. A very good person with animals such as my Doberman. The events didn’t allow for an initial Meet-n-Greet with my pet. Yet she was completely accepted by my pet, due to her calm nature. I’ll re-book with Rebecca anytime. She cares and went to the extra mile. !!! I’d give more stars if I could!!”

I Work part time 1-2 times a week 4 hours only I’m currently looking to dog sit full time im available pretty much all the time.im used to short notice and long term stays with them. I currently don’t have a dog at my house. But at my parents house they have a pool,AC and a fenced yard with astro turf.

About: I think what sets me apart from other individuals is my patience and love to pets. I’m a genuine guy with plenty of time in my schedule to take great and attentive care of any beloved animal. I’m free as a bird. I’m always looking to help others. Right now, that includes relieving animal owners of the anxiety of not having a great care taker. I’m down for a walk snow or rain. I’m also brilliant with keeping routine. I get along great with all animals. Building trust with a loved pet can be such a reward. It’s truly soul bonding. While I’m not in the position to currently house my own cat or dog doesn’t mean I’m not passionate about taking care of other furry friends.
“Brittany is so great with our cat and always very responsive and easy to communicate with! She gives great updates after her visits and it's obvious that our cat is very comfortable and happy with her. We are very happy repeat customers.”


About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my ability to provide structured, attentive, and compassionate care that meets both the physical and emotional needs of dogs. I am highly attentive to routines, behavior cues, and individual temperaments, allowing me to create a calm, safe, and consistent environment for each dog in my care. My dog-sitting skills extend beyond basic supervision to include proper exercise, reinforcement of positive behavior, and close observation to ensure overall well-being. I approach every responsibility with professionalism, reliability, and clear communication, giving pet owners confidence and peace of mind that their dogs are receiving exceptional, dependable care in their absence I have a flexible schedule and am available most of the time, allowing me to provide reliable and attentive care. While I am generally free during the week, I may occasionally have other commitments on weekends, though I communicate availability clearly in advance to ensure proper planning. I prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment in every aspect of the care I provide. My upstairs apartment is clean, secure, and pet-friendly, with close supervision at all times to ensure pets remain safe and comfortable. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, dietary needs, and any special instructions provided, and I maintain a consistent and structured environment to reduce stress. My community offers designated areas for walking dogs, allowing for regular exercise in a controlled and safe setting. Through attentive care, clear communication, and respect for both the pet and the owner’s expectations, I strive to create a secure, trusting, and welcoming home where pets feel comfortable and well cared for

“I can’t say enough good things about Farrah! She was absolutely incredible with my golden doodle, Goldie. Not only did she take her on a great walk and send the cutest updates, but she also went the extra mile—literally and figuratively. When I got home, I saw she had thoughtfully refreshed Goldie’s food and water bowls, and even spruced up her bed area so it was tidy and cozy. It’s rare to find someone who treats your pet like their own, but that’s exactly what Farrah did. Goldie was relaxed, happy, and clearly adored her. I felt 100% confident and grateful knowing she was in such caring hands. We’ll definitely be booking again!”
“My mind was put at ease with Brianna taking care of my boy. She is respectful, her communication is great and I can tell she really does love dogs! Definitely recommend her!”

About: I will take great care of any and all of your pets, including dogs, cats, fish, reptiles, amphibians and even plants! I recently graduated Purdue, and have a BS in both Animal and Aquatic Sciences. I have hands-on professional as well as educational experience, and will pay high attention to detail (for extra-specific pet parents, like me!). Behavior-wise, I've worked with anxious pets, ‘hospice’ seniors, foster kittens, and your average energetic dogs/cats! I’m comfortable giving medications as well if needed. I am looking forward to working with you and for your pets! I am fully available currently as I am searching for a full time professional position post-my December graduation. I’ll always communicate clearly to ensure your pet’s needs are met, and I’m happy to adjust based on your routine! During drop-ins or walks, pets receive attentive care, exercise, and companionship. I follow any specific instructions from the owner, provide fresh water, give lots of attention and affection, and make sure each pet is safe, happy, and comfortable while in my care.
“We can't say enough wonderful things about Bree! She took care of our two cats, Coco and Buddy, with so much love and attention—it truly felt like she was treating them as her own. From the moment we met her, we knew our fur babies were in great hands. Bree went above and beyond in every way. She didn’t just make sure they were fed and comfortable— but kept them happy, and even managed to groom Coco better than we ever have (and that’s saying something!). Coco looked like she stepped out of a cat salon when we got home! We came home to two very content, well-loved cats—and a clean, organized space, which was such a bonus. If you're looking for a trustworthy, kind, and truly exceptional pet sitter, Bree is it. We feel so lucky to have found her.”
