About: I've taken care of animals for many years- both my own and other people's. I have had pets since I was little, and I currently have one dog and a cat of my own. We have a big fenced in back yard. I take great joy in spending time with animals and meeting new furry friends! I work a full-time job, but I am available on weekends for boarding. No matter how busy I am, I am always able to prioritize walking my dog, and can do the same for you. We have a fenced in back yard that is perfect for playing. Our yellow lab, Nash, loves to make new friends. Our cat is friendly with dogs.
“FANTASTIC PET SETTER and a wonderful person. Debbie is a hard working and reliable person ! We would trust Debbie with our lives! I highly recommend Debbie without any doubt! THANK YOU MISS DEBBIE!”

“Our Micki took to Kimberly right away. Our dog can always recognize a fellow dog lover. We received many photos and videos while we were away, which made us feel really good. When we got home, Micki was happy and tired from having so much fun. Thank you Kimberly for treating our dog like the queen she is.”

“Natalie communicated well, took great care of Kong, and left the house tidy. She reached out ahead of time about a couple of things she needed to accommodate her work schedule and about whether visitors were allowed, which I appreciated. She was patient with my detailed instructions for my stubborn but sweet senior dog. I’d recommend Natalie!”

“Valerie was awesome! My dogs loved her and she was great about keeping us updated. It is hard to find reliable people to watch the dogs, so it’s nice to finally have someone near us to help!”

About: Animals and children seem to come to me very easily. I believe it is the energy I give off they can feel my love. L I am dedicated to taking care of animals so therefore I am available for you most of the time. I'm very convenient. I live in town. My home is very clean. I do not have dangerous things around for your animal to get a hold of. I'm very responsible. Love/food key
About: I have a few years of experience house-sitting for dogs. During these visits, I take the dogs on walks, make sure they are fed, play with them, and provide companionship. I also am comfortable spending the night to be there for the dog at all hours. Most recently, I was a volunteer dog walker for Indy Humane, and have experience with all breeds and sizes of dogs. This is a summer job for me so I am extremely flexible! I can work at any hour and any day of the week except Sundays, but will make exceptions for multiple night stays. I care for dogs by keeping them on a leash when there is not a fenced in space. I also make sure they get adequate exercise and love while their owners are away.
“Shawn did an awesome job of taking care of Oliver for 5 days, the longest we have ever left him. We came home to a happy boy and a tidy house! We are very grateful to Shawn for the peace of mind we had knowing Oliver was well taken care of during our absence.”

About: What sets me apart as a pet caregiver is my hands-on experience with training and caring for my own dogs. As a proud owner of a Pitbull and a Great Dane, I understand the unique needs of different breeds and how to create a comfortable, safe, and stimulating environment for them. My passion for animals goes beyond just feeding and walking – I’m dedicated to ensuring your pet feels loved and cared for while you’re away, and I have the skills to provide extra support for pets who might need it. Whether it’s basic obedience or more specialized attention, I bring a personalized approach that makes sure your pet is treated like family. As a student, I’ve structured my schedule to allow flexibility when it comes to pet care. I can easily accommodate pet boarding any day of the week, or stay at your home to ensure your pet receives the attention and companionship they need while you’re away. I understand how important it is to have a reliable and caring person looking after your pet, so I make sure to prioritize their needs while balancing my studies. Whether it’s a few hours or several days, I’m here to offer consistent, loving care when it’s needed most. I provide loving, hands-on care for pets both in my own home and in yours. As someone who truly loves spending time with dogs, I make sure they feel right at home by playing with them, cuddling, and offering lots of affection. I’m happy to give them a bath if needed and take them out regularly for potty breaks, making sure they stay comfortable and well-cared for. Whether it’s keeping them entertained or providing some quiet time, I tailor my care to each pet’s personality and needs, ensuring they feel safe and loved while you’re away.

About: Hello! I’m Valeria (you can call me Val) and I am a part time pet sitter. I currently work full time remotely. I enjoy running/walking at the park so having a partner tag along won’t be a problem. I am willing to provide any extra care your dog may need. This includes providing snacks, preparing specific meals, or even spending extra time outside. I have experience handling dogs, cats, birds, small animals and even chickens! I don’t have experience with senior dogs or giving injections/oral medication but I am willing to learn and will provide the best service for your babies needs. Feel free to message me for your specific needs or if you have any questions. Thanks! I usually let clients know my availability and advice on how I will structure my schedule to best accommodate their pets needs. During weekdays my availability is flexible because I work from home. I like to tour homes to be aware of exits/entrances, restricted areas (if there are any), and exchange contact info in case of an emergency.
