“They have been awesome getting us through our first month of puppydom! They have been extremely reliable and thorough. Our Mack has been loved. I’m so thankful for their service!”
“Susan was excellent and we have already asked her to sit for our cats again. We have an older cat with kidney disease and she carefully took notes for his medicine and supplements. She was patient with our ginger tabby who takes a while to warm up to strangers in the house. Susan left detailed Rover cards with photos so we could rest assured that our furbabies were comfortable. Overall we are beyond satisfied and thankful we found a great sitter. We highly recommend Susan : )”
“Kristen saved the day! We were flying hime from a weekend trip and our flight kept getting pushed back. What was originally supposed to get us home mid-afternoon got us home well after midnight! I messaged Kristen and she was available day of to stop by to feed and check on our babies (2 very needy cats) and let us know if we got stuck she could come the next day too. Took a huge stress off an already stressful situation!!!”
“Eli is fantastic! I cannot say enough positive things about our experience! Our cat, Babs, was well taken care of, fed, and even got to play while we were away for the weekend! I absolutely loved the check in reports Eli made! My husband and I were smiling all weekend reading them and for the first time I can remember, I wasn't laying awake in bed worrying about if Babs had enough food and water or was getting into trouble while we were away. I would recommend Eli to anyone who has pets and wants them to feel cared for while they are away and I will definitely be contacting Eli again for check ins when my husband and I go on another trip!”
“Norris communicated well, took care of my animals. Played with them, and showed attention. Made sure all of their needs were taken care of. Norris came two times a day, close to the time I scheduled.”
“Layla was the perfect pet sitter for Dakota. Dakota's a rescue I've only had for 5 and 1/2 months. I do not know her backstory But I suspect there's some abuse. Layla showed patience and understanding and I know it's only a matter of time before Dakota is fine walking with Layla. She is the best!!”
About: I have owned a dog my entire life. I have lived with four, including our old foster dog. I am a kitten foster with Humane Indiana since 2020. Since then, I have fostered over 30 kittens. I am used to the hard work that comes with taking care of animals, and more than happy to do so. I am currently a full time college student so will have time to take care of your pet before, after, and in between my classes. My weekends are pretty free. I have a fenced in backyard along with one dog (king charles spaniel). He is very friendly but can stay separate if need be. I have four cats that are used to other animals with my fostering experience. They will stay away from dogs or can be in the basement.
About: I've had dogs ever since I was born, I've walked and played with them. I've been dog sitting for neighbors since 2018. I've also volunteered at local shelters to help get the animals adopted by walking them around, and I helped keep their cages and surrounding area clean. I don't have any other commitments I'm obligated to, other than previously scheduled family engagements. I am happy to spend all my time towards caring for your pets! I won't take clients' pets in my home due to me having dogs and one of them is reactive towards other animals. However, this gives me better opportunity to bond with your pets as they won't be stressed from having to leave their home. If you have cameras in or around the home, please let me know prior to me entering, and I am perfectly fine with that! I can follow directions and schedules to a tee, and am happy to do what is needed to give extra love to your pets!
About: I’ve taken care of animals of all kinds (from dogs to horses to reptiles) since I was young. I’ve grown up around and taken care of large and small dogs throughout their lifespans from puppy to senior and am able to handle anything they throw my way! I can follow instructions to a T but also have lots of fun with the animal along the way. I will be considerate of the spaces I am entering and the pets I am caring for. I have open availability most weekends with the exception of any dates marked off. During the weeks, the bulk of my availability is after 5pm but may have some flexibility based off the location and needs of your pets. Just ask and we may be able to find something that works for us all! I am courteous of any space I am entering and will follow any and all instructions/rules given. I prioritize your animal’s safety above all and will make sure they are taken care of in the best way I can.
About: I have been around dogs and cats since I was a kid. Growing up I had an adorable pit bull that I would feed, walk, and bathe regularly. My family and friends also had cats that I would occasionally watch and feed as well. Recently I have excelled with sticking to strict dietary restrictions for a senior dog I sat to also helping leash train and walk my siblings 6 month old dog. I'm currently working part time and expect to attend college when the semester starts in late August. Luckily between my class schedule and work schedule I have more than enough flexibility to provide the service you and your pet need. I have personal dog walking experience and can provide a comfortable walking environment for your pet. I also have experience with rowdy dogs and can safely handle playtime.
“Danielle cuddled with my babies and it was definitely nap time because they were monkeys earlier!! I think they’re going to get warmed up to her right away. They are a good little bunch, but I’m sure they will test her too. So far / so good!”
“Kim, went above and beyond caring for Yogi. She is very experienced with dogs and we are so thankful for her. We were so pleased how she wanted to make sure Yogi was well cared for and comfortable while we were away. Thank you Kim for everything we are so lucky to have you.”
“Maddie is the best! My boyfriend uses her services for his dogs because he often travels for work, so when I needed someone to take care of my cats when I was out of town, I knew Maddie was the answer. She loves animals and is so kind to them. It is nice knowing I have someone I can trust my babies with when I cannot be there.”
