About: I have had pets my whole life. I own two dogs, a crested gecko, and a leopard gecko. The dogs are two blue tick coonhounds and one is 11 while the other one is around 2. I love to rescue animals and try to help them get to know that humans aren't all bad. I can do senior care and medicine handling, since I've had senior dogs myself and they have needed medication. As a child, I would always try to help people that lost their dogs find them again. I love my animals and want to give love to your animals! I am working a part-time job at Goodwill as if right now. I don't know my schedule at work until a week beforehand, and sometimes it's even later than that. I stay with my pets at home a lot. I play with them, feed them, try to train them a bit if needed, reward them, and love on them of course! I will do the same for your pets if you need! I will definitely create a relationship with the animal before doing too much. I need them to trust me.
About: I’ve volunteered at the zoo for five years, working in the pavilion. I’ve also had first hand experience with my own pets! I’ve taken care of fish, cats, and dogs. I’m also studying veterinary nursing at Purdue University and I’m trying to gain the most experience I can with animals! I care for two cats and a fish every single day at home. As well as dog sitting for family and friends nearby. Things like feeding, bathing, walking, and more is all apart of my week. I treat all animals with respect and do whatever is asked of me. I feed them, I wash them, I can play with them or take them on walks. Any animal necessity’s I can handle!
“Everything is fine. Jaclyn left me a text photo of Hank being out in the yard. I know he likes her because her wont do that for everyone. We will be making an appt for a week in Sept. I have already discussed this with Jaclyn. Please put an $8.00 tip on my account number that was provided. I appreciate the fact that her family lives several blocks from my home.”

“Taylor is awesome! She was attentive and kind to my pup while I was on vacation. She sent regular, thorough updates with adorable pictures. Having Taylor watch my dog eased my anxiety about being away because I knew she was in great hands.”

About: Hi, I’m Carrie! Animals have been the heart of my world for as long as I can remember. With over 13 years of hands-on experience in animal care—including 3 years working in a shelter and 10 years in veterinary clinics as a receptionist, kennel worker, and manager—you can trust that your pets are in capable and compassionate hands. I share my life with a lovable pitbull who is my whole heart, so I understand just how much our furry companions mean to us. Whether it's drop-in visits, older pup care, or just good old-fashioned playtime shenanigans, I’m here to make your pets feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. I do use a mobility aid for walking, but it doesn’t slow me down one bit when it comes to cuddles, belly rubs, or tail-wagging adventures. Let’s chat—I’d love to meet your four-legged best friend! I have a very flexible schedule which allows me to be available for a variety of activities such as mid-morning, afternoon and mid-day drop-ins, potty breaks, play time and socialization. I’m my own home, I take my own dog for multiple walks throughout one neighborhood throughout the day. Due to being unable to board or do overnights in clients homes, depending on your environment, I would love to spend time outdoors with the animals, whether a it’s for playing fetch in the yard, walks in the neighborhood, relaxing in the sun with our feline friends, or just dropping in for some one-on-one time.
“Will definitely book again if needed in future! My dogs loved Kari and everyone was happy and well taken care of. Always got frequent updates and pictures.”

“Lucy is the BEST of the BEST!! This was our first time having pet sitting for our cat and with negative boarding experiences in the past, we were so nervous at how she would do with being left at home but Lucy did an INCREDIBLE job with Jinx! She has been so comfortable being in her own space and I can see how happy she was when Lucy came to check on her and play with her. She set up a meet and greet before booking to make sure everyone was comfortable and sent some adorable photos with every check in visit which gave us so much peace of mind while out of the country! Lucy is the sweetest and truly, truly treats your pet(s) like her own pack and I absolutely cannot recommend her enough. Thank you, Lucy!!”

About: I will genuinely treat your pups like my own! I’ve had pets ever since I can remember - dogs, cats, & even fish. Today, I'm a proud plant & cat mom. Because I love traveling myself, I totally know how stressful it is to leave your babies behind & how important it is to have reliable, trustworthy help you can count on. I love taking dogs on adventures, whether that’s hitting trails to burn off energy or just enjoying a long, sniff filled neighborhood walk. I have experience with all kinds of personalities from high energy pups who want to play non stop, to sweet seniors who just want a slow stroll & some good couch cuddles. I love sending lots of photo updates & making sure your dogs feel safe, happy, & loved! I have a super flexible schedule. My days are open enough that I can easily prioritize structured potty breaks & long walks, without having to rush back to a strict 9-5 desk job. In my home your pet becomes a part of the family! My place is a pet friendly environment where they can fully relax & get cozy. While I don’t have a fence, I have a massive yard with a secure lead, so the dogs can get plenty of space while staying safe. Plus, they’ll get tons of attention & plenty of couch cuddles! If I’m coming to your house for a walk or a drop in, I’ll treat your space with total respect. I’ll strictly follow whatever routine you have for feeding, crating, or locking up. I'm always mindful of the little things like wiping muddy paws if it's rainy & making sure the water bowl is totally fresh before I leave. Plus, you can definitely count on lots of fun photo updates so you know exactly how great they’re doing! Whether your pet is hanging out at my place or I’m visiting yours, making sure they feel safe and comfortable is my biggest priority.
