House Sitting in Rossville

About: I'm a Purdue Animal Science student on the pre-vet track with years of hands-on experience caring for animals. I have worked with dogs, cats, pocket pets, and farm animals through animal care jobs, research settings, and personal experience. I'm comfortable with feeding, administering medications, handling nervous or high-energy pets, cleaning, enrichment, and maintaining routines. I understand how important it is for pet owners to feel confident leaving their pets with someone they trust, and I always strive to provide safe, attentive, and compassionate care. I'm reliable, communicative, and happy to send updates and photos while you're away! As a pre-vet student, animals are at the heart of everything I do. I also have a crew of pets at home, so pet care is part of my daily life. I genuinely love being around animals, it’s what makes me happiest, and I bring that same energy and compassion to every pet I care for. Safety and trust are always my top priorities when caring for pets. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and comfort zone so I can create a calm, positive environment for them. I follow any instructions carefully, whether it’s feeding schedules, medications, or behavior quirks, and I keep communication open so you always feel at ease.

“We loved having Karen stay with our boys! She is responsible, communicates and left the house spotless. We knew our boys had a relaxing time with her and enjoyed her company! We will be sure to use Karen in the future and highly recommend her!”

About: I enjoyed having cats and dogs growing up. As an adult, I have taken care of both cats and dogs for friends. I also worked/volunteered at a local shelter for years. working with puppies. old, big, little and traumatized dogs. I can run with those that want to. Additionally, I’m good at fetch and tug-of-war. I have commercial auto insurance coverage for your pet in my care. And I have uploaded a copy of my PetCare Insurance in my photos that covers potential incidents in your home, my home and in the park. I’ve given medication’s. I will follow your instructions to the letter and I don’t have an opinion. I have a lot of free time while I’m working on a book and don’t really need the money. I just would love the experience. I think the most important part is safety. PetCare Insurance for the unforeseen, but vigilance eliminates a lot of that. Pets are often curious and you need to make sure they’re not getting into harms way. When I take your dog for a walk, I won’t be on my phone because you need to be on the lookout for potential danger. I can take your dog to the park, around the neighborhood, for a drive or just stand in the yard. It’s all up to you. I will follow your instructions without opinion.

“Beth was amazing. Super communicative. Got me out of a bind when another sitter had an unfortunate incident. Sent many photos and was very kind. Greatly appreciate you Beth. God bless.”

About: Hi everyone, I have 5 years of experience providing pet care and professional care started with my dog; Bellah and I got into grooming, training and aiding with pet health. Feel free to ask any questions, at this time housesitting is my preference! I can do walking, bathing, test out training or just be a great caretaker while you’re away! Thanks for considering me. Now that I’ve graduated college, I’m available full time for dog and cat care with a flexible schedule to meet pet parents’ needs. I’m happy to follow each pet’s normal routine and any specific instructions to help them feel comfortable and cared for. If a structured schedule is preferred, I can also provide one based on the routine I use with my own dog, Bellah, including regular walks, playtime, feeding, and outdoor breaks. Whether caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on creating a safe, loving, and stress free environment where pets feel comfortable and cared for. I have personally trained my own highly energetic dog; Bellah, in commands such as sit, jump, lay down, freeze, paw, and patience training, which has helped me develop strong handling skills and an understanding of different pet personalities and energy levels. In my home, pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, outdoor breaks, treats, toys, and a structured routine to help them stay active and comfortable. In clients’ homes, I prioritize maintaining the pet’s normal schedule and following all care instructions closely so they feel secure in their familiar environment. My goal is always to provide dependable, personalized care while making every pet feel like family.

“Shadae was an excellent sitter. She sent multiple photos and updates each day. Our dog and cat seemed very comfortable and cuddly with her. We would absolutely hire her again.”

About: I have taken care of all different kinds of animals throughout my life. My family has housed all different kinds of dogs, cats, rodents, etc. I enjoy all animals and like to see them kept happy and well cared for. I make sure to take time out of my day to give my animals attention and care, and would do the same for any animals that I am watching. I make sure to give them what they need, and pay attention to their temperament and the small details that others might not notice. I love seeing animals well cared for, and do my best to mine happy.

“Deborah did a wonderful job of taking care of our dogs and tortoise while we were gone. She sent photos and videos everyday and she went above and beyond by cleaning up before we returned, collecting mail, and making our dogs feel extra loved. I highly suggest Deborah for your dog sitting needs.”

About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life! I love all kinds of animals and building relationships with them! Please reach out with any questions! I center my day around when I need to take care of pets, and plan my day around it. I will make your pet my priority! I will treat your pet as my own and keep them company while you’re away! I will also send daily updates if requested! We will have a great time together!

About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life! I have experience with dog sitting and dog walking! Always excited to meet a new puppy! I am free all afternoons! But if needed in the morning or evening let me know! I’m always willing to negotiate a schedule to whatever is easiest for you! Unfortunately I am in an apartment so I will not be able to pet sit at my home, but whenever your pet needs to go outside I will keep an eye on them (especially if there is no fence)! I am able to lead a pet into a crate if needed. If there is anything else you would like me to do while with your pet let me know!

“Tessa did a great job watching Hank, Flo, Charlie and Isaac for a 5 day overnight stay recently. They said she was very attentive and loving, so much that they didn't miss us too much! She definitely loves animals and can handle high energy pups like a cattle dog. Thanks!”

About: I’ve taken care all sorts of animals ever since I was a kid. I also showed goats in 4- H for ten years. I graduated high school in 2024 and during high school I volunteered many hours at the Clinton County Humane Society. In June of 2024 I started pet sitting for local families. Since then I have helped take care of many families furry friends including common house pets such as Dogs, Cats, and even Kinkajous! I am currently trying to branch out and make pet care my main job. Which means my availability is usually always open! Don’t be scared to reach out and ask! BOARDING IN MY HOME: I live with my parents out in the country with two dogs in my home and one cat. I have several rooms, gates, and crates that can be used so my pets never come in contact with yours if that is preferred! There are 9 acres of total land for plenty of exercise, 2 of those acres are fenced off and occupied by two friendly dairy goats and chickens! While you go on vacation so will your furry friend/s !

“Darrin was great! He was communicative, sent photos, and was very easy to work with. He stayed at our home and took great care of our two dogs and cat, one of which had activity restrictions due to surgery. It was our first time having someone house sit and we felt very comfortable with him!”

About: I am a former veterinary technician that has years of experience with animals. I have experience with special needs, medication, geriatric, special diet, restraint, IV fluids, and much more. I have worked with dogs in the veterinary field, training, and doing therapy work. I can also care for cats, reptiles, birds and your other pets. I have worked for an animal sanctuary where we had many different animals. I was in charge of the infirmary there and medicating all the animals as far as any sick or injured animals and monthly flea and tick treatments. I cared for animals there from the very small, winged, scaly to the large cows and horses. I have loved animals for as long as I can remember and I can’t wait to meet your furry babies to love and care for like they were my own. I am willing to work with just about anyone's schedule. If you can be flexible, we can always work something out. Available for your pets any day of the week and during most hours. Your pet's care is my priority. I come to your home for care which makes your pet(s) feel much more at ease. When your pet is in their own environment, they are less stressed while you are gone.

About: Your pets are your family, and you want the best care when you can't be there for them. I can provide that care with love and attention to their needs! For over 25 years, I have been caring for all kinds of pets. I am also experienced in medication and senior pets. I am retired from the business world. I am able to be flexible to care for pets in their home. Given a day notice, I can be able to accommodate most demands. This service might be available. I do have three dogs at home in a fenced yard. They are friendly, but the service would depend on the client's dog.

“Ella went above and beyond in caring for our animals. Despite a miscommunication about the duration of pet care needed, she was incredibly accommodating and worked out a schedule that served us perfectly. We really appreciated her flexibility. We also had an issue with our garage door not opening, and Ella graciously went back and forth multiple times to check on the animals. Her commitment and kindness made all the difference. We highly recommend her!”

About: Hello all! My name is Lisanne and I go by Liz. I have two awesome fur babies of my own (currently living with their doggo dad in Va), and have had pets for pretty much all of my life, dogs, cats, rabbits, you name it I’ve probably cared for it. I have raised many animals from babes to adults as well. I really just love to give all pets the love and attention they deserve and understand life can get busy but that doesn’t mean we want our four legged family to feel loved any less. I do not currently board at this point in time, but will happily come to you to house sit. I will send you quality iPhone portrait photos of your fur babe and our adventures on request 🤗 My schedule has changed from student to working full time, but I always try to keep my Rover account active and work with the new fur babies when I can! My availability within the service description is accurate at this time, and we can discuss other needs should they arise. I will make sure all of your recommendations and precautions are very well followed. I always carry extra leashes and items that may be needed, and even if the yard is fenced in, will not leave animals unattended.
