“I have a senior pet with special dietary and med needs, and Savannah made sure he was taken care to the highest standard. We felt very comfortable leaving him in her care.”
“Audrey was so helpful with our fur babies!! Very thorough, kind and communicative. We’ve got elderly pets, so there’s feeding and medication specifications and she handled them so well and gave us wonderful updates. Highly recommend!!”
“Courtney was wonderful to our three kitties. She was on time and cared for them well, based on the instructions we left her. She was great about our weird feeding schedule and feeding them the right portions of wet food. She also spent time playing with them. I will happily ask for her services in the future.”
“Taylor did a fantastic job watching over our two furry babies. She was even able to give one medication twice a day with no issue. She would check in with us and even send pictures. We have already booked our next trip with her.”
“I booked with Elizabeth last minute over a holiday weekend. She was exceptional with taking care of my cat. She was prompt and gave great updates with photos. My cat is shy, but he came out for her, which means she's a friendly, nice sitter. Thanks Elizabeth!!”

About: Some people call me DogDude. I've loved and rescued dogs my entire life. Thus far I've rescued over twenty, and I had nine at the most at one time. I even had two beds pushed together so all nine could sleep with me. It was furry and chaotically wonderful. Seven of those original are gone, and I miss those days. I've worked with puppies, and one rescue was even pregnant. I saw her through the pregnancy and adopted all the pups except the one I kept. I've also worked with and rescued seniors. I lived in Puerto Rico for three years, and I rescued two there and flew them back when returning to the states. I adopted a sweet old Cocker Spaniel from a program in Michigan. Her owner had been murdered by her ex-husband in Detroit. I could go on, but suffice it to say, most of my rescues have interesting stories. My most recent came from a ditch in Tennessee. It would be a pleasure to work with you and your pet(s). I'm an avid hiker with a membership to Eagle Creek. I've taken dogs out hiking with me and living doing so, if clients are comfortable with that. My availability varies, as I also own and operate a small business I operate from home and work at a brewery. I'm very flexible, though, and will work and communicate with clients to the best of my ability. At this time, I do not offer in-home pet care at my home. I'm only available for taking care of pets in your home. Thank you.
“He was absolutely great with butterscotch. It's the 1st time since adopting her that I've been away from her. But he was great with her and took great care of her. I recommend him sitting for your pet at any extended days . She was great with him got along great together.”
About: I’ve had dogs since I was 5 and would help the family to take care of them. Outside of family pets, I have been pet sitting since I was 10. Dog walking, cat sitting, and bunny cuddling are all skills I have acquired! I volunteered at the Indianapolis Humane society as a dog walker and a cat care taker for 2 years. I currently work part time but my schedule is extremely flexible, allowing me to take time off or adjust day of. I’m available mornings, afternoons, nights and sleepovers! I try to go above and beyond what’s asked of me, taking tons of pictures and pampering your pet beyond compare. I give them lots of play time, outside time, and cuddles.
