“Rhoda did such an amazing job taking care of my baby! She was very communicative, sent lots of pictures, and really gave me peace of mind while traveling. She also kept my place very clean and was a great house sitter. I highly recommend Rhoda!!”

“I’ve booked Zach twice for house sitting with my three dogs, and I am completely blown away by his excellent service. I have a cane corso, a rotty, and pittie, so they are quite large, and they love when he comes over. I’ve had several sitters cancel, because they get overwhelmed with three, but not Zach. He also goes above and beyond and leaves the space spotless. I tell him I’ll clean up after I come back, but it’s not in his character to not go above and beyond. Even the trash was taken out. I’m like, how are you real?! Lol Highly recommend.”

About: People find that their pets are naturally drawn to me—even the more shy/reserved ones. As a senior cat owner myself, I know it can be stressful leaving your fur baby. I treat them all like my own. I have administered medication and clipped kitty’s nails. I write detailed reports with fun/cute pics. With me, they will be in good hands ❤️ I work full-time during the week but am available Monday through Friday after 4:30 pm. On weekends and federal holidays I am available at any time. I live in an apartment with my cat Milo and am therefore unable to care for your pet in my home. I currently only do drop-in visits.
“Ana is amazing. Polite, friendly, very caring. My pet was in excellent hands. She did a meet and greet answered all our questions. Asked great Qs. She really cares. While sitting she sent regular updated and pics even without is asking. Left our house clean and out pet happy and well cared for. Definitely definitely recommend her and will be using her again in future.”

About: I have worked at a dog-boarding kennel, Barkefellers in Indianapolis. I have experience with dogs of all ages and energy levels! Friends, family and neighbors have previously relied on me to care for their pets. I have experience in house-sitting, dog walks, and drop-in visits. I understand all pets are different and I hope to meet all of your fur babies wants and needs. I am a college student with a flexible schedule. I have reliable transportation and can be available with little notice. I am available all-throughout the day. I am also able to stop by for early-mornings or late-nights. I have experience working in a dog-daycare so I have been trained to look for signs of illness, distress and overheating. I am an effective communicator and will work with pet parents to assure comfort and safety.
“Katherine did a fantastic job watching our pets. She sent us updates and photos and it allowed us to have fun knowing everyone was safe and well cared for. She even made friends with our most stand offish kitty! We will definitely hire her again!”

“Rylie was wonderful taking care of our home and babies while we were away getting married. She handled everything great and allowed us to be fully present and enjoy because we knew she had everything handled at home. Would highly recommend working with her for house sitting or drop in visits.”

About: My name is Estefany, throughout my life I have been accompanied by animals of all kinds, dogs, cats, monkeys, birds (hens and chicks specifically), ducks, parakeets, macaws, and others. However, during my most important stages I have been accompanied by faithful canine friends. Each pet that comes into our home is treated like one of the family. I have experience in caring for dogs with special needs, careful feeding, experienced with dogs from nursing new borns to senior dogs with a variety of different needs, grooming as well as potty and obedience training. I also love baking home made dog cookies for my personal dog in my spare time. I currently work part-time from home so I have extra time to care for, pamper, walk, exercise and provide the appropriate and necessary care for your furry friend. I am available to offer accommodation every day, starting at _6am_:_8pm_ I speak Spanish and English. My English is basic and i practice everyday to improve. At home we have a BIG fenced in yard that is reinforced all the way around for security and lots of fun things to do and explore in the yard. Inside we have a four bedroom house and each area is unique to accommodate every kind of dog. We dont like to use crates unless requested and we also keep all dogs separate unless requested otherwise (we have a sweet one year old poodle who has never met a dog who isn't her best friend as is willing interact with any family wanting their dogs to make new friends). We have beds for our dog friends to take a nap, although if your dog prefers his bed, no problem. Cleanliness and hygiene is very important here to keep everyone safe (I have enough bowls at home, as well as toys for dog guests), although if your dog has a preference, there is no problem. We are always willing to send updates on how its going and all the fun they are having!
“Rebecca did an amazing job with our pups and cat. She kept us updated with pictures and how each of them were doing. She was very thorough letting us know if any changes since we were gone almost 5 days (one of our pups gets emotional and won’t eat sometimes) everyone was well taken care of and also the house was well taken care of while she watched everyone e”

“Sadie was so amazing if I could give her 6 stars I would. Lots of updates with texts, photos and videos of my pups. Even tidied up my home a little I returned home without a worry in the world. Will book again for future events. Thanks again Sadie ! Barkley and Ada miss you!”

“Excellent pet sitting! Was very communicative the entire time and sweet. Would highly recommend if you have big dogs as was very knowledgeable. Would do again in a heartbeat.”

“Christian is absolutely WONDERFUL! He’s such a pleasure - he’s kind and you can rest easily knowing he’ll treat your pup like they’re his own 🥹 He’s so polite and respectful and keeps in touch. I felt very comfortable with him and he and my pup are new best friends!!!”

“Eric and Julia did an amazing job with our rambunctious pups while we were bringing our baby girl home from the hospital. We get really anxious leaving our dogs but ended up having nothing to worry about! Not to mention, they were able to stay a last minute extra night when we had an extended stay at the hospital. Thank you so much guys!”
