“Leslie loves on my dogs as much as I do and she's so diligent about safety and is all about what you want for your pups. She's amazing, accommodating, and I would recommend her to anyone.”

About: I have taken care of my own pets since childhood (from cats, to dogs, to rodents, to horses) and have worked with them at several jobs - including The Walt Disney Company. Throughout my education in becoming a therapist I strive to treat every person, and animal, with compassion and patience. My own cat has been on medication for several years, so I’m comfortable caring for aging pets or those who need more attention. I currently am a full-time student, so when I’m not in class I am at home. This provides a relatively free schedule that shifts with every semester. For the Fall I am free all day Tuesday and Fridays and every weekend, and the afternoons Wednesday and Thursday. The first thing is to listen to the pets, how they communicate, and what makes them feel most comfortable. It is their home and their safety that is top priority, and I want them to know I am a safe person.

About: Hi! I am Nilly, I am a certified Medical Assistant. I went to Middle Tennessee State University for my bachelor in psychology and I have received my MA certification through Vanderbilt University. My experience in healthcare has taught me the importance of being patient, attentive, responsible, and gentle when caring for others—qualities I bring into every pet-sitting experience. I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life, and caring for them has always been something very close to my heart. I’ve grown up with German Shepherds, Australian Shepherds, and Corgis, so I’m familiar with a variety of personalities, energy levels, and individual needs. Dogs have always brought me so much joy, and I truly love spending time with them, whether that means going for walks, playing, giving plenty of cuddles, or simply keeping them company. I understand how difficult it can be to leave your beloved pet in someone else’s care. My goal is to make that experience as comfortable and worry-free as possible for both you and your furry family member. I will treat your pet with the same love, patience, and attention I would want for my own. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and well-being are my top priorities, and I would be honored to care for your four-legged family members while you’re away. 🐾❤️ My schedule is flexible and depends on each client’s needs. I’m happy to work with you to create a schedule that fits your pet’s routine, whether that includes daily visits, walks, feeding, or overnight care. I’ll plan my schedule accordingly to make sure your furry family members receive the time, attention, and care they deserve. I care for pets in their own home by following their usual routines and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I provide fresh food and water, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and plenty of attention and affection. I also respect each client’s home and follow any specific instructions to ensure their furry family members receive personalized care while their owners are away.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for about 8 years now. In high school, I started by helping out my family, family friends, and neighbors. Over the years, I’ve built a trusted and reliable network of families I regularly work with. Whether it’s a quick check in or a weekend stay with the dog, I ensure I am around to feed, play with, and let out the dog! I am currently working a part time job so I will have time to walk and or play with your dog. The weekends and weekdays in the afternoon work best for me. While you are away, I want your pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I will follow the routines you have set in place and plenty of playtime! I will send updates and photos so you know your dog is in good hands!

About: Hello! My name is Saijul, and dogs have been a constant, joyful part of my life for as long as I can remember. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of owning and caring for a wonderful variety of breeds and mixes—ranging from a German Shepherd, a Labrador, and a Miniature Pinscher to a Pug-Schnauzer mix. Right now, I am loving life with my 15-week-old Miniature Australian Shepherd, so I am fully immersed in (and deeply familiar with!) the puppy life, training routines, and high-energy needs of herding breeds. Beyond my own pets, I have extensive experience pet sitting for family and friends, handling everything from quick weekend overnights to multi-week stays. Whether your dog needs high-energy exercise, structured training reinforcement, or just a dependable buddy to hang out with, I treat every dog with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. My Experience & Skills Lifelong Hands-On Ownership: Deeply experienced with puppies, large working breeds, small dogs, and unique mixes alike. Extended Care: Comfortable managing full routines, feeding schedules, medications, and household rules for stays lasting anywhere from a weekend to multiple weeks. Active Lifestyle: Great at keeping dogs moving, engaged, and mentally stimulated. Services Offered Dog Walking: Reliable, active walks tailored to your dog's pace, energy level, and sniffing preferences. Drop-In Visits: Perfect for making sure your dog is fed, hydrated, let outside, and given plenty of playtime and affection while you are at work or away. Why Choose Me? I genuinely love being around dogs and understanding their unique personalities. You can count on me to be reliable, communicative, and attentive to every detail of your instructions so you can have total peace of mind while you're away. I work full-time during the week, but I am completely free on weekends. I also work remotely once or twice a week, which gives me daytime availability on those days, and I am available most evenings I provide reliable, in-home care right where your pets are most comfortable. For drop-in visits, I stop by to handle feeding, fresh water, and quick potty breaks so your pets stay on their routine while you're away. For dog walking and outings, I can easily pick up your dog directly from your home for exercise, playtime, and companionship, ensuring they get the care and attention they need.

“Alexis walked our pups twice a day Monday- Friday for two months. She was so reliable and dependable and always communicated if she would be delayed. Our pups loved her and always ran to the back door to greet her. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible and dependable dog walker.”

About: Hello, my name is Hailey! I currently work full-time through the week (Sun-Thurs 10-6) and am looking to make extra cash doing what I love - spending time with dogs! I previously have worked at a dog boarding center in Whitestown, Indiana, making me suitable to take care of your pet, whether it be feeding, exercising, or even medicating them for you while you’re away at work, traveling, whatever the case may be! While I have experience with all kinds of animals, currently I have two large breed dogs, an Australian Shepherd mix who is 6 years old and an Alaskan Malamute who is 7 years old! Both are dog and people friendly, so your dog can have a playmate, or we can arrange your pet to have space to him/herself if necessary! As I have worked for a business that is used to various pets having various needs, I will do my best to accommodate you in any way necessary! I also am used to working with cats (as the dog boarding also has a cat portion as well) so I am more than happy to help your feline friends, too! Hope to see you soon! I have open availability outside of Sun-Thurs 10-6. I work hard to make sure that I am transparent about the time I have to spend with your pets! I have a lot of experience watching other people’s pets, as well as being a lifelong owner of dogs. I love all breeds and ages!

About: I treat every pet like family, providing personalized care, dependable service, and plenty of love and attention so owners can have peace of mind while they're away. I've spent years caring for pets for family, friends, and neighbors, giving me hands-on experience with feeding, walking, playtime, administering basic care, and following specific routines to meet each pet's needs. I am currently home for the summer from college, so i can be available whenever it is needed! Pet care can be fitted in my daily routine while i am home. I prioritize each pet's safety, comfort, and happiness by following their routine, providing plenty of attention and exercise, and keeping owners updated with photos and messages throughout their stay.

“She is nice, thoughtful, and caring. Would hire her again.”

About: I've had young dogs and old dogs for the past 14 years! I currently have two silly Shihtzus that I love to death. I have had a weiner dog and cockapoo before for years and loved them so much. I am an avid runner and walker (40+ miles weekly) so I would love to take your pets for a walk/run! I'm currently between jobs so I am quite available as long as I'm not running a road race! I tend to get up at 5am and sleep around 9pm. I have experience crating dogs if needed. I typically will rinse out any water bowls and scrub food bowls for cleanliness before serving their next meal. I try to brush my dogs fur to avoid tangled ends at least every other day, so I am comfortable helping with that.

“Steph was wonderful. Definitely would hire her again!”

“Shalissa is the best! She walks my girl three times a week and is such a huge help. She is always on time, always communicative, and always takes the cutest pics! My dog also took to her so quickly, even though she can often be timid. I am grateful to Shalissa for being so kind and reliable!”

Many pets love to relax nearby while I crochet! I take extra precaution not to leave my supplies out when I’m gone. I follow all instructions when it comes to your pet’s safety! If there is a specific leash/collar, entry/exit to the home, crating, house rules, etc., please let me know. Before leaving, I do my best to leave the home in the same state if not better (ie: wash dishes, take out trash, check mail, water plants, & more). Let me know if there’s something I can do to help while you’re away!

About: Before I got my current 1.5yr old dog, I had a 17yr old beagle and a three legged dog. So I’ve definitely cared for needs of all kinds. I currently am working on my masters. I also have personal training clients. I set my own schedule, so taking care of your dog can usually fit into my schedule wherever you need it. I care for pets in your home or mine, whichever they are more comfortable. If you need me to let them out, walk, or stay with them… Just let me know.

About: I have 4 dogs at home & also taken care of some friends dogs before! I also worked at a dog place, so I have great experience with dogs!

About: Hi!! I’m a BIG animal lover and would love to care for your pets like they’re my own! I have experience with both house sitting and pet sitting, and I’m comfortable with dogs, cats, and just about any animal you have. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I also love keeping things clean and organized, so I’m always happy to tidy up your space too! I have a very friendly dog of my own, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I offer dog walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting. I’m currently in school, but I’m very flexible and will always do my best to work around your needs and I’ll have even more availability during the summer! Can’t wait to meet you and your furry friends!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️ I’m currently in school, but only going part time with three classes. I will have plenty of time to care for your fur babies! 🐾 I treat every pet like they’re my own! I keep a calm, clean, and safe space, and I make sure to follow their normal routines so they feel at home. They’ll get lots of love, attention, playtime, and care. I also pay close attention to their behavior and needs to make sure they’re always comfortable and happy.

About: I’ve been surrounded by cats my whole life and bring a calm, patient vibe to every visit—but I love dogs just as much, so tail wags are always welcome too! I take time to get to know each pet’s unique personality, whether that means cozy cuddles, zoomie-fueled playtime, or just being a reassuring presence while you’re away. Expect plenty of pets, play, fresh food and water, and a sparkling clean litter box for cats—or fun walks, outdoor time, and belly rubs for dogs. I offer pet sitting and drop-ins across the metro area. My flexible schedule (and free weekends!) means I can stick closely to your pet’s routine. I’m experienced with oral and topical medications and treat every furry friend like my own—because they deserve nothing less 🐾 I'm currently on the hunt for a new Agency position, so my days and weeks are completely free currently. Able to be booked at any time. I tailor my care to each pet and the service you choose, because every animal has their own routine and personality. In a client’s home, I focus on keeping things as familiar and stress-free as possible—sticking closely to feeding schedules, walk routines, and favorite playtime activities. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection, along with fresh food and water, and I keep their spaces clean (litter boxes, food areas, etc.). For dogs, that usually means walks, outdoor time, and lots of play (plus belly rubs, of course). For cats, I match their vibe—whether that’s interactive play or just quiet companionship and gentle pets. I’m also experienced with oral and topical medications and always keep an eye on behavior and health, so I can catch anything unusual early. I treat every home with respect and every pet like they’re my own, and I’m happy to send updates and photos so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands.

About: Your pet won’t just be watched, they’ll be genuinely cared for, safe, and spoiled! I’ve grown up with pets my entire life and have hands-on experience working in doggy daycares, boarding facilities, and a veterinary clinic. I’m trained in administering medications, reading dog behavior, and ensuring each pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I truly treat every pet like family and enjoy getting to know their unique personalities. I prioritize safety, comfort, and clear communication, treating every pet with the same level of care I would expect for my own. I’d love the opportunity to care for your furry friend and provide them with a safe, happy environment while you’re away! I have a flexible work schedule during the week and do not work weekends. I am able to do drop in visits as well as daycare! I have a larger yard away from busy streets, and have been trained to watch for social cues in animals when in a group setting. Animals are in and out all day long for potty breaks and play breaks outside!

About: I started caring for my family’s various pets around the age of 15. Ranging from West Highland white terriers to Australian Shepards to Great Danes, I love them all! In undergrad, I gained experience pet sitting my friend’s cats, lizards, and hamsters. I’m currently studying for the GRE and looking to make some extra money. I enjoy being active both inside and outside with animals, and have plenty of free time to make them feel loved. I have a good sense about the needs of animals, identifying their cues when they need more attention, walks, etc. If you have a particular schedule or behavioral program that you’d like me to implement, I can do that as well!

“Wonderful and super accommodating!”
