“Olivia took great care of my cats. They need daily visits for medication (one gets meds crushed and mixed in her food, the other needs her ears wiped with medicated wipes) and I really appreciate that Olivia has experience giving pets medication. I also appreciate Olivia being willing to do a meet and greet with my pets while I was there to make sure she and they were both comfortable before her visits when I was out of town. Highly recommend her services!”


“Angela has been our go-to sitter for over a year now. When our senior dog's health took a sudden downturn shortly before a trip, I almost canceled the trip to stay home and care for her. But Angela put my mind at ease and handled my pup's special needs with love and skill while I was away. Our pets adore and trust Angela, and we are truly thankful to have her.”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of all ages, from puppies/kittens to seniors. I’ve also been a foster in the past with Indy Humane so I’ve had some experience giving medications to sick cats. I own my own business out of my home making jewelry and a full time mother. My availability would be during the day when my kids are in school and on Sundays when my husband is home. I care for pets with the same love, patience, and attention I’d give my own. Whether I’m walking your dog or doing an in-home check-in, I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I follow all instructions closely, keep their routine consistent, and pay attention to their mood and needs. I respect your space and keep everything clean and secure before I leave. Most importantly, I treat each visit like it’s more than a task — it’s quality time with a furry friend!

About: Having grown up on a farm, caring for animals has always been second nature to me—especially dogs. From an early age, I learned the responsibility and joy that comes with tending to animals of all kinds, ensuring they are happy, healthy, and well cared for. Many of the pets I have today were either rescues or animals I took in to help owners during times of transition. Currently, our family dog is nearly 15 years old and requires specialized care due to multiple health issues. This has given me extensive experience in administering medications, monitoring health conditions, and providing the patience and attention that senior dogs require. Whether it’s a young, energetic pup or an older dog needing extra care, I understand the importance of providing a safe, loving, and comfortable environment for every pet. Dog sitting isn’t just about supervision—it’s about ensuring each dog feels at home, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. With my background and deep love for animals, I strive to make every dog feel like part of the family. I work from home and run my own business, which gives me the flexibility to provide attentive and loving care for pets. Being home throughout the day allows me to ensure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for at all times. I provide a safe, loving environment where pets feel secure and at ease. From feeding and playtime to administering medications and offering plenty of affection, I tailor my care to each animal’s needs. Whether they need extra attention, a calm space to relax, or special care, I make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and right at home.

“We have used Alexis before and trust her with our two cats. She always does a great job communicating and caring for the kitties. Happy to have someone like her in our back pocket.”


About: Hi ☺️! I am a Navy veteran with over 8 years of experience working with pups. I doggy-sit 4 days out of the week for my friends and family. I absolutely adore animals and can not wait to give so much love to yours!! I am currently available for part-time during the day, but can do evenings and overnight. Also, I am available full time during the weekends and most holidays. I have tons of doggy toys, doggy safety gates and lots of yummy treats :) My backyard is fairly small, but I love going to the doggy park with all the fur babies!

About: I’m a married 51 year old mom with two daughters aged 17 and 14. I have over 25 years of experience working in a school setting, and am now working part time. I have a 10 year old service dog who lives with us, and works with students at my school. I treat dogs as well as my own children, as I understand how much they are a part of your family. I’m responsible and will be as connected to you as you want- sending updates and pictures to ensure you feel confident that your pet is safe and happy. My husband works from home, and I’m currently working part time. We are up by 6 every morning. I’m primarily trying this on the weekends to start, however depending on your situation, the weekdays could work as well. I have a 10year old golden/lab cross. He is a neutered male and was trained by an organization as a service dog. He comes to work with me to work with students. We often watch other service dogs through this same organization, so I do have experience caring for other pets. We have a kennel in our home that we can use, if needed. While our dog loves other dogs, it would be important that your pet is not aggressive. I have zero concerns that our dog would ever be aggressive. We do not feed our dog anything other than two meals per day, as he is on a strict diet. Water is always out. We would follow all food directions you provide for your pet. Our pet is treated like a human, so no furniture is off limits and pet hair is just part of our lives.

“Devin did a great job with our cat Khosh. They really bonded and I can tell Khosh loves her. I got updates, photos and videos and it was really great to be able to see those. I’ve already booked her again for a September trip. Highly recommend!”


“Mackenzi dropped in for us to take care of our dog while we were out of town. She sent us the cutest pictures of a happy pup! She kept to the schedule as promised and communicated after every visit. Leaving our dog at home is never easy, but knowing Mackenzi was taking good care of Zuzu made it much easier.”



About: I've been entrusted to care for dogs and cats on and off for years! Whether it's daily walks, overnight stays, or just socialization, I'd love to care for your family pet! I currently accept part-time jobs as I'm working on studying for a licensing exam. Drop in, overnight, a couple hours, let me know what you need! I can clean litter boxes, socialize and play with your pets, walk, feed, bathe, administer medication, stay overnight, crate, etc. Thanks for entrusting me with your pet family

“Crystal is great! We have two Yorkies and one of which has a hard time warming up to people. Zoey actually had no problem warming up to Crystal at all. That made us so at ease and able to enjoy our vacation so much more. I’d totally recommend Crystal!”


About: As a child, I had several pet dogs. As an adult, I had two great dogs for the family. Now recently retired, I occasionally sit and dog-walk two grand dogs. As a retiree, my schedule is quite flexible. I am available any day of the week. I can walk or check in on your pet at any time during the day. I'll be consistent with your pet and alter my interaction depending on your and your pet's style. If I'm at your home, I'll treat it with great respect and leave everything as it was when I arrived.

About: As a vet tech, I offer specialized skills in animal care, medication administration, and first aid. I'm experienced in training puppies and providing tailored care for senior pets, ensuring their comfort and well-being. My background ensures a safe and nurturing environment for every pet I walk and sit. I am currently a full time student and I work. I do have my weekends free and every other Friday. I am also able to walk dogs on Mondays and Wednesdays anytime after 6pm. Due to my apartment living situation, I will be focusing exclusively on clients who need their pets walked. This allows me to provide dedicated, attentive care for your furry friends while ensuring they get the exercise and attention they deserve.

“Krista was great! She visited Ginger as directed and always sent me an update with photos and videos, which was so reassuring. I felt totally safe with Krista coming to the house and taking care of Ginger. I know she will be as caring with your pet as she was with mine so I highly recommend Krista for caring for your pet and I will definitely use her again. Thank you so much Krista!”


About: I grew up with two small yorkie mixes and I’ve always loved taking care of them. My brother has a very energetic chocolate lab husky mix who is now 3 years old. I have spent time watching him & walking him since he was a puppy! Right now, I am finishing up college and I am a waitress. My schedule is very flexible which makes this a perfect fit for me! I have lots of open gaps during the day and some evenings free. Each weeks availability looks a little bit different for me right now. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always follow any care instructions closely, keep a close eye on surroundings during walks, and never take unnecessary risks. I treat every pet like family and make sure to communicate clearly and promptly with you before, during, and after each visit. You can count on me to create a calm, respectful, and secure environment for your dog.

Allyson J.
“I have known Allyson for many years and she’d be an amazing dog walker or pet caregiver! She has one of those kind hearts and gentle spirits that just loves animals. Allyson holds a special place in her heart for the animals that others would shy away from - older pets, pets with medical needs, or pets some would consider “undesirable”. Allyson has had 2 such dogs (Peanut & Rocco) be a part of her own family! She currently has a younger energetic dog who needs a lot of playtime and attention and she’s fantastic with him, too. Allyson is a mom, wife, and a business owner. She’s incredibly responsible and trustworthy. Any pet who gets to spend time with Allyson is going to get a ton of affection, care, and love!”
