Pet Sitting in Ockley

About: I have grown up with animals of my own since a young age. I have always had pets since becoming an adult and I have passed on my love for animals to my children. I have cared for animals of all kinds, from dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, rabbits, to farms animals including poultry, swine and large live stock. We have an acre of land for your fur babies to enjoy. We open our home with loving arms, your babies will be played with, loved, and showered with affection while you enjoy your time away. If your animals are better suited for out door living we have plenty of room for outdoor living as well. I do work a job during the week, however, my husband works 3rd shift and is home resting during the day. Therefore someone is generally home if your babies are in need of something. Everyone here is generally very friendly, however there is no concern with keeping everyone separated as needed. We have plenty of room for yard leads and runners for outdoor play. If your animal feels most at home in a crate there is room for crates as well. Our biggest focus is safety and your pet feeling as comfortable away from home as possible. We can discuss the best setting for your fur baby and see what accommodations can be made. Our children will show your animals respect and love but we do ask that your animals are kid friendly. If I am caring for your animals in your home know that your home and animals will be treated with the upmost respect meeting your expectations as we discuss.

“Jacquie is the absolute best! She went above and beyond for my kitties. She was very communicative and my cats loved hanging out with her. Will absolutely be working with Jacquie again.”

About: From my own pets, my neighbor's pets, my family's pets, and my friend's pets I have successfully and lovingly cared for pets of all ages, energy levels, and personalities. I also work at a dog/cat kennel and care for dogs who are in day care as well as dogs and cats who are boarding for various lengths of time. We can work together to make sure we get you what you and your pets need! The hours that I am able to walk, check in, or be at a house during a house sit are Monday and Wednesday before 5 am and after 12:30 pm, Tuesday until 11 am and after 7:30 pm, Thursday before 11:30 and after 1:30, Friday before 5 am and after 7:30 pm, and full weekend availablity. I will always make sure to listen to your instructions, concerns, and advice. If you're not sure what instructions to give, don't worry, I'll ask as many questions as I need to make sure your pets are well cared for.

About: Six years of experience and 5 star ranking as a dog walker on Wag! Passionate about caring for pets and ensuring the pet’s health and safety! Currently I am transitioning roles/only working part time, so I have plenty of time to care for pets! I love taking time for pets—I often schedule it into my routine :) I will gladly ensure that your home is well cared for and I respect your space! I’ve worked for several years as a dog walker / done overnight visits—I always leave the space in great condition! I will clean up after your pets and ensure no mess is left!

About: Like most of the sitters here, I grew up passionate about all things animal-related. I have experience as a vet assistant in a private clinic setting and I worked as a dog-specialist at an animal shelter. I’m particularly skilled with temperamental or “hard to manage” dogs, and neonatal (bottle baby) kittens. I am now a fully licensed tattoo artist, but I am still drawn to my passion for animal care! I work full-time as a tattoo artist in Indianapolis. My availability is limited but perfect for twice daily drop ins and walks! Early mornings and evenings with weekend availability. My felines are treated like my very own children. 2 of which I fostered from nearly days old! I do my best to provide care, support, and enrichment to beloved pets.

About: Hello! I’ve had animals almost my entire life. They will receive plenty of love and attention from me. I currently live in an apartment with none to love of my own right now and miss having them in my life. So, I thought, what better way to be able to have them around until I can get my own again! I do work full time but it is just me and my life is very flexible on the weekends and after work. Overnights are easy to fit into my lifestyle! When I am with your pet, they are my priority. Cuddles, walks, uninterrupted playtime, and following your specified instructions will be part of what I bring as your pet sitter. I am an extremely responsible and reliable person with extra time on her hands that would love to fill with your pets!

“Marissa was great with our two dogs and two cats. She also handled the roaming neighbor cat that likes to pop in and out of our house from time to time. Great communication, very responsive, and wonderful handling of our pets. Would recommend to others needing care for their animals.”

About: I grew up with hunting dogs and cats. I was a vet assistant for about 2 years. I helped with wellness check ups, give/provide shots and medication, as well as walk and keep the kennels clean. I dog sat for a few of our family friends and was able to provide shots and medication when needed. I have a huge soft spot for all animals and I would love to help take care of your fur baby! I work 8-5 in West Lafayette Monday through Thursdays and 8 to noon on Fridays. M-Th I can do visits from 5:30-8 and Fridays I can do visits from 12:30-5 My husband and I currently have 3 spoiled cats at home. They get dry food in the morning and at night as well as wet food in the evening. One of our cats get a pill everyday. We never turn down cuddles (you can’t move till they are done 😂). One day we would love to add a dog to our fur family!

About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life! I have experience with dog sitting and dog walking! Always excited to meet a new puppy! I am free all afternoons! But if needed in the morning or evening let me know! I’m always willing to negotiate a schedule to whatever is easiest for you! Unfortunately I am in an apartment so I will not be able to pet sit at my home, but whenever your pet needs to go outside I will keep an eye on them (especially if there is no fence)! I am able to lead a pet into a crate if needed. If there is anything else you would like me to do while with your pet let me know!

About: I have been working with dogs of all ages for the past few years and have a puppy of my own. I enjoy walking dogs and getting to see all their different personalities. I work in West Lafayette from 9am to 5pm. Outside of those hours, I am available throughout the week and some Sundays if needed! :) I can’t keep pets at my home but I can care for your pet at your house at the best convenience! Whether they need to walk on the leash, run in the yard, potty, etc.

“Anthony was amazing with our dogs and cat. He came at the expected times and the animals loved him. We will absolutely use him again.”

About: I have taken care of all different kinds of animals throughout my life. My family has housed all different kinds of dogs, cats, rodents, etc. I enjoy all animals and like to see them kept happy and well cared for. I make sure to take time out of my day to give my animals attention and care, and would do the same for any animals that I am watching. I make sure to give them what they need, and pay attention to their temperament and the small details that others might not notice. I love seeing animals well cared for, and do my best to mine happy.

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.
