“Mireisi was an amazing host for my dogs. She sent me photos while I was out and also allowed them to go into her pool, which I am sure my dogs absolutely loved! I would recommend using her if you’re in the area and I plan on using her again next time”

About: My extensive professional training in animal handling and behavior sets me apart. While many sitters enjoy pets as a hobby, I have dedicated my career to their welfare. I am a National Animal Control Officer (Level II), which provides me with advanced training in safe animal handling for both dogs and cats, as well as emergency response protocols. My Special Skills Include: Certified Behavioral Knowledge: I hold a certification from Jackson Galaxy (since 2016), allowing me to manage anxiety and behavioral issues with a fear-free approach. Senior & Medical Care: Through my non-profit rescue work, I am highly skilled in caring for senior animals, including administering varied medications (injections, fluids, pills) and managing mobility issues. Trust & Reliability: I run a professional organization, so you can expect the highest level of communication, punctuality, and attention to detail. My schedule is entirely flexible because pet care is my professional focus. As the founder of a non-profit rescue, I have the autonomy to adjust my daily workload to ensure I am available for early mornings, critical medication times, and unexpected last-minute needs. Reliability is guaranteed. I care for every pet with the rigor of a professional rescuer and the heart of an advocate. Safety First: My background as a National Animal Control Officer (Level II) influences every decision I make. I am trained in risk assessment, meaning I proactively identify hazards (loose screens, toxic plants, escape routes) before they become problems. I am also fully trained in pet CPR and First Aid. Building Trust: Trust is built through consistency. Running a non-profit organization requires impeccable ethics and reliability. Whether in my home or yours, I adhere to strict feeding and medication schedules. A Low-Stress Environment: Using my Jackson Galaxy certification, I prioritize the pet's emotional well-being. I don't force interaction; instead, I use positive reinforcement and body language cues to build a bond. I am experienced in maintaining a sterile, healthy environment, ensuring that food bowls, litter boxes, and living areas are kept to rescue-grade standards of cleanliness.

About: I have years of experience caring for a wide variety of pets, including dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, birds, ferrets, and chinchillas. Friends, neighbors, and family trust me to walk, feed, clean habitats, bathe, and give their pets the attention they need while they’re away. I’m patient, gentle, and attentive to each pet’s unique routine and personality. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, or needs a calm and quiet environment, I make sure every fur baby and feathered friend feels safe, loved, and comfortable in my care My schedule is completely open because I pet sit full-time. I have a kid-free home, which allows me to focus 100% on the pets I care for. I’m available every day of the week, including mornings, evenings, and weekends. Your pet will always receive consistent attention, care, and companionship while they’re with me. I provide a safe and calm environment where your pet’s comfort always comes first. I live in a kid-free, pet-friendly home with plenty of space for pets to relax and feel at ease. My neighborhood also has a dog park, so your dog can enjoy fresh air, exercise, and fun outdoor time if allowed. Pets can be crated if needed, or they can stay in a dedicated pet room that includes a cozy couch and a pull out bed for extra comfort. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I focus on cleanliness, routine, and making sure every pet feels secure, loved, and well cared for.

About: I was a longtime volunteer with CARE in Ruskin, along with 2 years at Hillsborough County Pet Resource Center. Working in the Pitt Bull ambassador program. I had time to learn from the best instructors and trainers. I have experience with all breeds and age groups. I have lots of love and patience to give to your Fur Babies. I have recently retired, and I have lots of time now to get back into what I love and miss. I would love to get back into this field again. I have so much love for animals and would love so much to be able to help others. I don't have a fenced in yard, so I take walks around my community. I live in a gated community. We also have a small dog part here with lots of shade.

“My pups had a fantastic time with Andressa and Alex!!! My 2 Shit Tzus have never been around big dog and I was so worried but my fears were put to rest because they slowly introduced Dobby to my pups. Andressa and Alex sent me pic and video’s throughout the day! My pups are learning how to play with other dogs!! I can see a big difference in such a short period of time. Highly highly recommend your fur baby with them!!!”

About: Hi! I’m Kinsley, a dedicated animal lover with years of hands on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, ages, and personalities. As both a pet care professional and a future veterinarian in training, providing safe, loving, and attentive care to animals isn’t just my job, it’s my passion.

You can travel or work stress free knowing your pet is in experienced, compassionate hands. Regular updates, photos, and communication will keep you connected to your furry friend while you’re apart. I can’t wait to meet you and your pet! As a student with a flexible schedule, I balance my studies while dedicating plenty of time to caring for pets. I live with my parents, and my mother is always home, so your pet will never be left alone. Even if I need to step out for class or errands, you can rest easy knowing your dog will still have supervision, company, and care throughout the day. Between me and my family, your pet will get consistent attention, regular potty breaks, playtime, and all the love they deserve.

I’m also experienced in handling different temperaments and special needs, and I always prioritize clear communication and regular updates so you can feel confident and connected while your pet is in my care.

About: Hi there, I'm JM! New to the Indy area and looking to give your pets the best care possible. I currently have two dogs and have had them for 10 years. Even though they are seniors, we stay very active with daily walks and trips to the dog park. My love for pets started at an early age when I adopted a cat at the age of seven. That started my lifelong love of pets. Since then I've raised two other dogs and cared for numerous pets. Friends often call on me to watch their dogs when they go out of town or take their dogs out for much needed outdoor time (whether that's smelling all the scents or just getting some exercise)! I have experience training dogs - I've trained three dogs including my current two. I work from home so I'm home most of the day. I also take classes, so I'm away from home 2-3 hrs M-Th. Classes vary I have a fenced backyard and there's a dog park in walking distance. Dogs will have free range to go outside when needed. I take my dogs out daily for walks and will offer the same service for dogs in my care. Dogs will have a separate feeding area and I have an extra room if pets are overwhelmed to relax. We have tons of toys and puzzles if your pets likes to stay busy.

About: I adopted my first dog in 2006 as a newlywed and have had one as part of the family ever since. I also have three cats who honestly run the household and seasonally I raise monarch butterflies. Overall, the house is one big zoo! Our dog Pepper plays hard and naps even harder! She loves having doggie friends over to play in the yard with! Pepper also gets walked multiple times a day on the fabulous walking paths in our neighborhood. Your pooch will have ample opportunity for exercise and playtime. I work from home so I’m here all day (except to do school pick up on weekdays). When I’m out we have a built in kennel so doggies are always secured. I have an enclosed lanai and let our kitties out occasionally to enjoy some sunshine. The youngest cat, Loki, is super social and very inquisitive while the older two are pretty seditary.

“Calida and Lou always take amazing care of our Ranger. They are flexible and great to work with on arrangements. Our pup comes home happy and tired (a good thing:). He takes medication and has a specific food regiment, all of which they are pleased to accommodate. Thanks so much for your compassion and attention to Ranger!”
