“Krissy did a fantastic job with our sweet Grayson. She was very attentive, sent us pics each day and even brought up a concern about Grayson not using the litter box. I would highly recommend her to anyone with pets, especially cats as I am biased in that way. We will use her again and again and again.”


“Nicole was wonderful! She was very communicative and responded to messages promptly. She sent picture updates of our happy pups each visit too, which was great! Our dogs and cat loved her. Will definitely book again!”


“We’re absolutely ecstatic about how well Lauren took care of Pacer. She was punctual in her role and left no details undone. She sent pictures and stayed in contact with us whenever i needed reassurance. Excellent job!! We will be using Lauren again for our next trip”


“Words cannot express how thankful I am to have Kari and Clint watching my fur babies! The love they show to my boys is evident not only in how my boys react to them but also in how they are cared for. Both of my dogs are happy clean and relaxed! This makes this mamma very happy and comfortable knowing I can leave them and they will be safe. I am again so thankful for finding them to care for my fur babies! ❤️”


“Everything went perfect. Answered all questions and messages very quickly. Did everything we asked and showed up on time everyday. We will definitely book again. Thanks again.”


“Janis was absolutely great with my furr babies. She was also easy to correspond with, she got back to me in a very timely manner which is very important to me. She was always on time and kept me informed and sent me pics. I was nervous how my babies would do on my first time away. I knew they were in good hands when I got my reports. If I ever need to travel again, I know I can count on Janis to do a great job. Thanks so much Janis”


“Natalie was above and beyond! Extremely communicative and really went the extra mile to make sure Rory was happy and well taken care of. We will absolutely be using Natalie again!”


About: We love all kinds of animals and have been a rescue family for years! Both my husband and I have always had pets and have been a safe home for neglected or abandoned dogs We work from home and can give all the love and attention deserved!! Our dogs and rabbits have a dependable schedule and are crate trained We provide an enriching fun safe environment for our dog and rabbits. We have an invisible fence but our dogs never wear their collars now that they know to stay in the yard. They love walks and romping in our wooded yard

“Lucy is the BEST of the BEST!! This was our first time having pet sitting for our cat and with negative boarding experiences in the past, we were so nervous at how she would do with being left at home but Lucy did an INCREDIBLE job with Jinx! She has been so comfortable being in her own space and I can see how happy she was when Lucy came to check on her and play with her. She set up a meet and greet before booking to make sure everyone was comfortable and sent some adorable photos with every check in visit which gave us so much peace of mind while out of the country! Lucy is the sweetest and truly, truly treats your pet(s) like her own pack and I absolutely cannot recommend her enough. Thank you, Lucy!!”


About: Eager to work with all sorts of animals, from dogs & cats to reptiles & rodents! Experienced with animals of all ages and abilities, even those with specific medical needs. I discovered my love for all animals during my two year veterinary assistant training I took in high school. I went on to work at a local vet clinic after high school where I cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, and rats of all ages and abilities. I was also very fortunate to learn the basics of caring for toads, turtles, snakes, and chickens as I worked at a 4-H Center for a year. While I no longer have the space to keep my own pets, I treat any animal I care for like they are my own and am very eager to start working with your pet! I am a homebody at heart, so I am available most nights and weekends to care for your pet! I also get flexible breaks during my work day, so I can check in on them consistently. I will make sure to look after your pet and your house like it's my own. I would make sure everything your pet needs is provided for.

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats most of my life and I am very confident that I can provide you and your animals the best service that you need I currently work early in the morning, but I’m always off around 3 o’clock so I can definitely give your animals as the proper care I will give you a pet the love and attention that they need and I will follow any instructions you give me to a Tee

About: Take time away for yourself, knowing that your home and pups are safe and cared for. I adore dogs and they are drawn to my calm and nurturing demeanor. I have cared for my own dogs and the dogs of others for 30 years. I am a mature female empty-nester who works weekdays on the north side, and then offering pet/home care to save some extra money for travels of my own. Send me a request for a meet and greet - I’ll come to you so I can meet your fur babies! Thanks for reading! Available for overnights or drop in service, your preference. I work on the north side of Indianapolis and I have a flexible schedule for walks and outdoor time throughout the day. Weekends are typically free also. I will treat your home with kindness, keeping it tidy and mess-free while you’re away. I am not scared of pet messes, I will clean them up promptly! I am also comfortable administering medications and accommodating special diets and needs.

“Super sweet and loving to my little cinnamon twist! Also, willing to go see him last minute because I put in the wrong dates on accident, I appreciated it so much!! Highly recommend Brianna :)”


About: Over the past year, I’ve enjoyed pet sitting for close friends and neighbors several times. The pets and I have gotten along so well, I decided it was something I wanted to do more often. I get along well with pets of all sizes. I enjoy hearing even the smallest details about your beloved pet so that I can give them as much care as you do! I’m currently a stay-at-home mom with daily availability to help care for your pets. I am a natural born helper with a newfound love of pet sitting. I would love to have a dog or cat, but others in my household have allergies. Getting to care for your pet is not only a job, but a joy. Pet parents know all the individual qualities about their pet— what they like to do, what scares them, what will help them get in and out of the house, etc. I am a detailed oriented person who you can be confident will attempt to hear and follow all of your instructions, making sure your pet is in good hands! I want to give you and your pet the highest care and respect possible.


About: I’m a loving person. I had two dogs myself (1 I adopted) it’s a lot of hard work but I wouldn’t trade it in for the world. I promise to take care of anyone’s dog as if it was a child which is what dogs are to families children not just animals. They’re the best non humans you could ask for! Sometimes all dogs need are love and attention and we are not always there to give it to them, kind of like humans. I always try to play with mine even if I’m busy from school work just to show him he’s not forgotten. Plain and simple, dogs are family and they should be treated as such and that’s the type of care you would get from me. I would treat them like I would a family member of mine with love respect and honesty.


About: My name is Madison sell and I’m home full time and love animals. I’m available to dog sit almost always and will be sure to FaceTime and/or send pictures of your pet while you are away! I do have a male bernedoodle of my own who is about 100lbs and will be present while I am dog sitting! He’s great with other dogs and loves having other dogs to play with. I have a fenced in back yard as well. I’ve had dogs all my life and will take great care of your dog while you’re away! If you have any questions at all feel free to send me a message! I am really looking forward to meeting you and your dog or dogs! Im a stay at home mom so im home all day while dogs are staying here and available to do drop ins at any time! When your pet is staying in my home it will be treated like part of the family! My kids are all dog lovers as well!
