“Clint and Kari have taken such good care of my pup! They are flexible and so easy to work with. It’s so nice having peace of mind when I can’t travel with my girl. 😊”
“Bailey was well cared for with Shelby! We were staying at the KOA Holiday and she was just minutes away. We would highly recommend her to others and would definitely use her again when we come back to the area.”
“We have been very lucky to find Mary only minutes away from our home. We have dropped our puppy, Mario, at Mary’s twice now and both times, he came home exhausted and slept very well. Mary sent pics during the day to keep us updated and is very quick to respond to texts.”

About: Over the past two years, I’ve been responsible for caring for a Golden Retriever from puppy to adulthood. I’m familiar with maintaining routines, handling energy levels, and making sure dogs feel safe and well cared for. I am a full-time work from home employee and I’m able to care for dogs while I work. I enjoy getting out to walk and play during the the work day. I have a smaller home, approx 900 square feet. It’s a loving home with two teen girls who love to care for dogs. While my yard is not fenced, we leash walk dogs when they need potty time.
“Sharon was fantastic! Appears my dogs never even missed us! Ideal arrangement for us to have her watch them while we visited with a friend and her husband when passing through Indianapolis on our way to Wisconsin from our home outside Nashville, TN. Thank you Sharon! I highly recommend others use Sharon if wanting a loving home your pets can stay at when not able to accompany you. I have one dog around 60 lbs and other around 20 lbs. both rotten so loving care is what I want when needing an alternate care arrangement. Sharon met our needs! Now back on the highway.”

About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, bunnies and more since I was a child. I love fur babies and will give your baby the love and care he/she needs when you are away. I am home and can give the attention and care your pet needs. My schedule is flexible, so I can easily fit in a walk, potty time or play time. I stay outside with my dog and cats while they play in the yard and on the large patio. Inside we all hang out together in the large living area, but I also have another room with a gate where a pet can go if she needs some space. I can have your dog sleep in the crate or outside the crate, whichever makes her the most comfortable and happy.
“Deborah and Jeffrey are warm and they genuinely love dogs. I’ve booked doggy day care with them for my dog several times now. They’re very good at communication and taking care of my fur baby as their own. I highly recommend them!”
About: I have taken care of animals for sixty plus years. Friends and family have entrusted me with caring for their pets. I have always had animals in my life. I am a retired nurse I am available to care for pets most days. I am trustworthy dependable and caring. Animals are a blessing to me. I have a huge fenced in backyard, with two friendly golden retrievers who would love to play with your pet. Also I can crate if needed.
About: Hi I’m Meagan, I’ve worked with animals since the day I was born I grew up on a farm taking care of any size animal you can think of. Dogs have been a big part of my life, and I absolutely love spoiling dogs. I grew up with husky’s, pit bulls, Weiner dogs, and golden retrievers. I’ve worked with training dogs and helping dogs learn potty training and tricks. I work anytime a client needs me, also I work with the dogs routine schedule to make sure the pups are always good for going home and no routine is broken for the owners. First thing in the morning the dog will be let outside to go potty then brought in to be fed and watered. That’ll be followed up with play time and being brushed. The dog will be let out every 1hr to make sure there’s no accidents. Then in the evening the dog will be fed again and taken care of the same way as the morning time.
“Kody had a great day with Cyndi. You can tell she has a big heart for dogs she cares for. She gave us an update and we didn't worry at all about him. We'd book with Cyndi again if traveling through.”

I welcome anyone needing flexibility or long-term set schedules! I am willing to work out something any day of the week Sunday to Saturday! I live in a great area to take daily walks. I have children who have more than enough love to go around to make any and all pets feel loved and welcome. I do a lot of traveling and love to pet sit in new cities! I’ll be in Nyc this Holiday season for the third time. My schedule is very flexible! I can work something out any time or day of the week. I have plenty of time to pet sit, I love doing it!
