Dog Boarding in Rensselaer, IN

“Due to changes in plans, we reached out for a last minute Christmas puppy sitter, and Nichole was willing to help! And she did amazing. She was attentive to our dogs, able to meet their needs, and was even willing to extend the reservation for another half day. She had the perfect house set up to give out babies what they needed. If we’re ever back in the area, we’ll be sure to ask if she’s available!”

“Patty was fantastic ! She was able to take Teddy last minute for me. I loved that my dog was able to be boarded in the comfort of her home with other doggies and lots of love. She was quick to respond and always sent me updates and pictures. Thank you so much! I definitely recommend and will be using her again in the future. She truly has a love for animals!”

About: I've had many years of dog experience. Working in a dog Inn, I've met dogs of all shapes, sizes and temperaments. From very anxious pups to reactive older dogs, I can garentee your pup will be well loved under my care. I've been doing training for several years, we practice positive reinforcement training in our home. My own pup is special needs, being born with megaesophagus. It is important to me to make sure your pup feels safe and comfortable in my care, and if your pup needs some special attention I will happily help! Im working a part time job, so I will have plenty of time to spend with your fur babies! Any day of the week, no matter of early or late. If your dog was to stay in our home, we have a lovely half an acre yard for them to play in. I have two friendly pups in my home, but I also have two extra rooms. So if your pup wants to be alone and play, my dogs will be put away in their kennels while your pup is around. If your pup needs to be kenneled, that works too! They would have a quiet room to be kenneled in. Making sure your pup is comfortable is our biggest priority, whether it's in my home or yours!

About: I've been taking care of dog for as long as I can remember. I'm able to take care of/ watch dog from puppies to seniors. I've watched dog with and without disabilities, and I know how to administer medications from pills to shots. I also know how to preform cpr and the heimlich if needed. I currently have a part time job where I get to choose when to work. So I'm able to spend time with the fur babies whenever. I'm very respectful of my clients homes, and I follow rules that they set of me. I like to keep my clients updated on what's going on with plenty of photos, and I always try to make sure the fur babies I'm watching have a good time.

About: I’ve never had a time where I did not have at least one dog. I love animals and would love to help give your pups a place to feel comforted and loved when you are away. I do work full-time but am typically only out of the house from 8:30am to about 4pm daily. After this we are home all evening and able to care for the pups as needed! I have a big fenced in yard for running and playing! I have 4 kids and 2 dogs of my own to play with! We are a cat free home to cater to those dog breeds that a natural critter chasers!

“Janet P. was WONDERFUL with my dog. I had used Rover.com in another state and had not been in Indiana very long when I found myself needing a dog sitter. Once I met Janet P and her spouse I knew I had found the right people to take care of my dog. It was very clear they were dog lovers. My dog was immediately comfortable during our meet and greet. My guy is older so not high energy. He also has severe arthritis in his front leg and needs daily meds and can't tolerate long walks. They had no issues with either one. Their energies really matched as all three are very laid back, yet very caring and loving. I received daily pictures, well almost, because my dog is not really very exciting, except for his love of sunbeams inside and out. I felt extremely comfortable that my dog was well taken care of and loved as if he was in his own home. I would recommend Janet P. to anyone and will definitely call on her again.”
