2. Hannah M.

“Hannah was reliable, caring, and kept me updated throughout the visits. My dog was happy and well cared for — I’ll definitely be booking again!”


3. Melanie S.

“Melanie took such good care of my 3 large puppies. It was so nice to not have to worry while I was away. Two require medication and she didn't fail to administer it. One is a rambunctious puppy (80 lbs) who adored Melanie. I highly recommend Melanie, and she will absolutely be my go-to when ever I need someone to take care of my pups in their (the pups) own home. It is less disruptive for them.”

“Danni is so sweet and took great care of my babies! I will definitely be booking with her in the future:) I forgot to reschedule my food delivery box and she was kind enough to bring it in and unpack it for me. My dogs and cat loved her and it was an overall great experience!”


5. Maja G.

“Maja was fantastic! She gave lots of detailed updates and took lots of photos, which helped us feel confident that our sweet boy was in good hands!”

“Medi was amazing!”


8. Sarah K.

“Cooper had a great time staying with Rick. He was so well cared for…. And loved! They treated Cooper like he was their own. Rick sent me daily pictures of Cooper and what he was doing.

11. Bridget J.
“Bridget has taken care of my cats numerous times and she is the best! I can fully depend on her to keep my babies well sat. She will sit with them after cleaning them up, feeding them, and even medicate if needed. She still helps me out to this day.”


12. Brooke M.

“Brooke was fantastic to work with and did a great job taking care of Scarlett while we were out of town. She sent daily updates and pictures letting us know our Lil Miss was doing just fine. She ran the vacuum and left the kitchen spotless. We will definitely use her again.”


13. Kari & Clint T.


“I can't say enough good things about Kari! She stayed at our home with our dog and two cats for 10 days while we were out of the country. I was nervous since it was the first time we were away from our babies for so long, but Kari kept me updated (including lots of photos!) each and every day so that I was as comfortable as I could be. She treated our house respectfully and left it spotless at the end of her stay! Kari truly went above and beyond to give our pets and us the best care possible. I will be working with her again in the future and recommend her to EVERYONE in the Indianapolis area!”


14. Gabrielle G.

“Pork Chop absolutely loved getting to snuggle with gabby!! She sent us the cutest pictures and videos, and was so so sweet and responsive. We feel so much better knowing we can have a great sitter like Gabby watch our pup while we are out of town.”


15. Abigail W.

“We were lucky to have found such a caring and responsible pet-sitter as Abby. She booked with us last minute when our previous sitter fell through. We were sent multiple pictures and videos throughout our trip proving that Ozzy clearly adores her, and so do we! Her dedication to our pets well-being is truly commendable. I will definitely book her again in the future.”


16. Abigail M.
About: With over 16 years as a pet parent to both dogs and cats, I bring personal and professional experience to every pet I care for. I'm comfortable with small to medium-sized dogs and cats of all ages, and I have hands-on experience caring for pets with medical needs, including those with seizures—so I understand the importance of attentiveness, patience, and calm support. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which means your pet will get plenty of attention throughout the day. I'm quick to respond to messages and always happy to send regular updates and photos to give you peace of mind while you're away. Above all, I treat every pet like family—because I know how much they mean to you. Pet care is naturally woven into my everyday life. As someone who works from home with a flexible schedule, I'm able to give pets consistent attention, playtime, and care throughout the day. Whether it's a walk in the morning, feeding and medication at scheduled times, or simply providing companionship while I work, I'm present and engaged. Since I already care for my own pets, I'm used to planning my day around their needs, and I bring that same commitment to every pet I watch. Pet care isn't just something I do, it's part of my routine and something I genuinely enjoy. When caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping their routing as familiar and stress-free as possible. I follow instructions closely to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I treat your home with the utmost respect, keeping things clean and secure, and always leave it just as I found it. I'm also happy to send frequent updates and photos so you can stay connected with your pet and have peace of mind. My goal is to make your time away as easy as possible for both you and your pet.


17. Jenna B.
“Jenna has been our go-to pet sitter for years. She stays at the house to care for both our dogs and cats. We appreciate her background as a vet tech—it’s reassuring to know our pets are in knowledgeable hands. She’s dependable and clearly cares about animals, which is so important when leaving your pets in someone else's care. We're grateful for her help when we've needed to be away!”


18. Jacob D.
About: Since the age of 10 I have been included in taking care of family dogs and have taken care of my pups since I was 14 I currently work a very spontaneous job and have lots of time off. I’m available to play with your pups in the evening times and I’m available for house sitting on the weekends I’ll be there to keep your pups company, playing, cuddling, whatever may entail. Whatever may be asked of me, and if there are and special accommodations necessary for the pups!


19. Kendra P.

“Kendra was great with Jocko! She brought her golden along (she asked if it was ok first) and Jocko and Birdie seemed to have a great time together. She sent plenty of updates and was very personable. We highly recommend Kendra.”


20. Jessica D.

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We left our dear Rocco in Jessica care from July 4th to 14th, and what a blessing it turned out to be! Each update we received was like a warm hug from afar, painting a vivid picture of Rocco's adventures and cozy cuddle sessions. It was evident that Jessica connected with Rocco on a personal level, treating him like a member of their own family. Returning to a joyous Rocco was the sweetest ending to our vacation. We're not just customers of Jessica now, we're fans. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We'll definitely be returning customers and highly recommend Jessica to any pet parents out there!”
