“Abbey was great, would highly recommend. Was hesitant about leaving my doggie at 1st but after meeting abbey I was relieved. It worked out perfectly and will Def use again”

About: IVDD-experienced dachshund mom with hands-on rehab experience, plus years caring for rescue dogs and high-energy heelers through walks, training, and overnight sitting with deep compassion. Pet care is a central part of my routine. With a flexible, work-from-home schedule, I’m able to prioritize walks, enrichment, and one-on-one attention so dogs feel safe, supported, and at home. I provide calm, structured care, closely follow routines, use crate training when appropriate, have a fenced yard, and offer IVDD-safe handling, walks, interactive play, and regular updates.
“Grace is always so great with our dog Ellie! I don’t have to worry about her knowing she’s in great hands! She always communicates timely and sends great pictures! We use her whenever we go out of town!”

“Mackenzie was an absolutely fantastic sitter for our two girls! We were gone for 11 days, and we were a bit nervous as our older lab can be slow to warm up to new people. Mackenzie was so thoughtful and proactive, offering to come by for two separate meet-and-greets before our trip. It made a world of difference and put everyone at ease. While we were away, she sent lots of wonderful pictures and updates, and it was clear our dogs were happy and well cared for. To top it all off, we came home to a house that was even tidier than we left it! We are so thrilled with Mackenzie's care and professionalism. We’ve definitely found our go-to sitter for all future trips!”

“Ally has been AMAZING with our 8 doggos. Not sure I could ask for anything more. The communication has been tip tier, her ability to accommodate requests is comforting, and she's just a lovely young lady. I hope you have a future in animal care, as the world needs more dedicated people like yourself. Thanks again.”

“Kari and Clint are five star house/greenhouse/dog/chicken/hummingbird sitters! All of my creatures and plants were well cared for! I received daily messages reassuring me that all was well. Returned from vacation to a cleaned home. They are the BEST.”

“Zoe took great care of Libby during our seven day vacation. She was punctual, communicated and sent pictures with daily updates. She was sensitive to Libby's anxiety and was proactive in treating it. We would definitely recommend Zoe for your pet's needs.”

About: We grew up we were always the one getting asked to watch/feed/check on everyone’s animals and I really love still being able to do this!! I (Emily) currently work for myself doing my cleaning business around central east Indiana and this always me to care for more animals! My schedule is flexible during the week! We have a privacy fence in our backyard that also leads to a big park that rarely anyone visits that has a big open dog park with it! Our own animals get feed 3 times a day and we have a cat room separate from the dog area.
“Thank you for taking such good care of our furr babies!! Thank you for being so trust worthy and communicative. I knew they were in good hands and was able to relax while out of town. Also, thank you for taking care of the house. Will book again!”

About: What sets me apart is how intentional I am. I don’t rush interactions or treat pets like a checklist. I pay attention, keep routines consistent, and make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for—not just watched. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily life. I plan my time carefully so pets always come first when I’m scheduled to care for them. I follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible—feeding schedules, walks, play, and rest. I keep the environment calm and clean, respect your home, and adjust my care based on your pet’s comfort level and needs.
About: I have had cats all my life and have been the proud owner of a mini Aussie dog for almost 1.5 years. I have always had a passion for animals and actually have a degree in Animal Health and Behavior. I had dreams of being a zookeeper but unfortunately had to postpone those due to personal reasons. However, my heart is still in taking care of animals/pets, and I'd love to help you with yours! I am currently unemployed and my husband works a 7-5 Mon-Fri job. Therefore I'm available to pet sit or do walks on the weekdays! Late morning-afternoon preferred. If needed, I can provide house sitting on weekends. I can drive to your house and walk your dog around the neighborhood. I have my own dog as well, and could even have them play at our apartment complex (lots of outdoor space). Because of my skittish cat, it would be difficult to bring your dogs inside my apartment, but can do so if necessary.
“Hannah did a great job. Even though our pets had only met her once, she has no issues and learned quickly that Mari has no concept of personal space. We would book again.”

“I love that Aimee came for a very thorough "meet n greet". Aimee was wonderful with our two dogs. They warmed up to her immediately. She always got back to me as soon as I texted her. Thank you Aimee for allowing me to feel as ease right away with leaving our babies. Overall positive experience. Thank you.”

About: I am a recent college graduate with 2 Yorkies. I have had dogs since I was very young. Currently, I have a huge fenced-in (7 ft fence) backyard if your pup would like to come over and play! I also live in a little neighborhood that is perfect for walks but I would be more than happy to walk around your area. I am an animal lover! I love dogs of all breeds and sizes. I don't have much experience with cats but I love them and hope to get some experience. I love to take walks, go to parks, cuddle, and play with my dogs. I would love to have some company and a play partner! You would have nothing to worry about if you hire me. I am very observant, reliable and would watch over your baby like they are my own. They may be a little spoiled by the end (if you approve of course) but overall they will be so well taken care! Personally, it is so hard for me to leave my two pups and when I'm gone, I worry about them so I know how hard it is to trust someone to keep your babies safe as well as happy and loved. I will always do the absolute most to make sure they are taken care of and happy. It is so important to me that all animals are safe and in good hands, as I believe they are family! I look forward to hearing from you :) I work Monday through Friday but I am usually home by 4/4:30pm, so I am free in the evenings and I am definitely free on the weekends if you need me. At my home, I have a huge fenced in backyard (7ft fence) and my little yorkies cannot get out of the yard so I think any breed would be safe to run freely in my backyard. I have tons of treats and bowls for food and water! I only have two small cages inside but have a larger (5ftx5ft) kennel in our backyard as well. If I am coming to a clients home, I can drop in anytime to let your pets outside or just stop by to feed and water them as well as play times and walks! I love spending time with animals and making sure they are well taken care of so I am open to just about any service!
“We left Maddie in charge of our fur baby crew for 10 days to celebrate our Honeymoon. She stayed in our home and attended to our shepherd mix, Benny and our two cats Leo and Cali. She sent photos to keep us updated and she was even able to get our nervous cat, Leo to cuddle with her. We are so happy to have found her. She made the stressful part of vacationing a breeze!! 10 out of 10, we would book her again.”

About: I have had pets of all kinds since i was a young child. I have always loved caring for them. I take pride in how well I treat and attended to my animals and any animals. I treat animals with the upmost respect and care. I am willing to go above and beyond for any situation. I am currently in School but I have lots of free time outside of that. I am available almost anytime and willing and able to work any day, even holidays! I provide for my pets with the upmost of care and love. I love animals and always treat them wonderful. i give them the best and am willing to do that for future clients. I want to provide the best service i can!

About: I actually started watching dogs and cats for families I was babysitting and nannying for while they were out of town about four years ago. About 90% of my experience is with extended dog sitting in the owners home. While watching the dogs I not only let them out to potty but also walk them, play with them, and clean up any messes whether chewed or accidents that may occur! I have some owners who like me to stay overnight and others who do not and I am completely okay with either way. I am also comfortable administering medicine or changing bandages. I am always up for taking your dog places too, a dog park or for a bath or simple for a drive! I’m comfortable with cats, dogs, and a plethora of other animals. I can care for any of your loving animals! I hope to get to know you and your fur babies in the future! I currently am a stay at home mom. I have one school age child and a toddler. I am looking for bookings to be able to stay at home with my girls (and my two pups of course). School drop off/pick up is for a short time in the morning and in the late afternoon. Any walks or drop-ins would be scheduled around school drop off and pick up times! I care for pets as if they were my own. My goal is to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. This can look like feeding on schedule, giving fresh water, administering medications if needed. Each visit includes some play and cuddles too so they feel just as loved as when you are there!
About: My love for dogs and cats. My theory of FurKids are like children to be treated with love, caring and providing their needs. I have my two dogs. They are my world. I would treat yours like mine. I am happy to help other if you need me. We can discuss which is I am flexible and open to discuss I am available from Sunday to Saturday. Can be morning or night. I can take care when you are not home for long hours, away from home I can do daily walk, drop in visit, stay in as needs. From 7 days and 24 hours. From range puppy/kittens to senior. Would Preference small to medium dogs.
