About: I have the freedom to go anywhere needed with the ability to drive. I can also take care of the pets special needs such as giving medicine. I enjoy walking and playing. My little dog has a big dog attitude, so when she gets aggressive I know how to handle her, and keep a safe distance not letting anyone get hurt. I can take care of pets anytime of the week when needed, though I do have an online college class Monday through Thursday that's from 1-3:50pm. I can take it anywhere since I have a laptop and tablet to work with. I will have that schedule until June 26th. I have a fenced in backyard, and a small dog that goes through the doggy door. I am always available to open the door to let your pet out at anytime. I walk my dog around the neighborhood 3 or more times around the week at least.
“Had the best experience and really felt my pets were in the best hands while we were away! Would ask them to watch them again in a heartbeat!”
“Heidi was wonderful! She was very personable when she came to do the meet-and-greet with the dogs and patiently listened to all of my details about my furbabies. I preferred more communication than less, which she provided every visit, most even with pictures. I could tell the dogs were well taken care of while I was away for the week. I will definitely be booking with Heidi again!”

We got our first dog in 2018 from the shelter, and now we have a senior dog who needs special attention. I volunteer with Action for Animals and take care of kitties who are up for adoption! My family and friends have trusted me to care for their pets for years. I have experience caring for anxious pets and those who take medication. I work part time, 3-4 days per week currently. I can make my own schedule at work so I can be flexible for longer stays. I am moving back to Bloomington for school on August 18. I am more than happy to meet up or FaceTime before starting. I will send updates and pictures often. My top priority is keeping your pet safe!

About: I’ve been a dog owner and foster parent my whole life. I’ve trained and owned all kinds of dogs from Jack Russels and Pomeranians to Great Danes and Golden Doodles. The relationships I build with dogs are enriching and rewarding. The innocence and desire to just be themselves is what I love about animals. I treat my new dog friends like family and I believe they prosper in a relationship that promotes their inner dog as well as setting boundaries that help the human/canine relationship prosper. I embrace the belief of calm assertive dominance and find it that dogs seem to find peace in me being in that role. I am a stay at home parent whose availability is an asset that I utilize for the sake of the animals I care for. I hope to one day befriend your best friend. I’m a stay at home father of 10 and 12 yr old boys. I raise 2 dogs, 2 cats, and 24 chickens. I have lots of flexibility to ensure the care needed for you pet. I love to spend time with animals in the environment they feel most comfortable. With my flexible schedule and the abundance of land on my property and in my locale, I know I can fit the needs of your furry friend.
“Evelyn was great with my pets and they enjoyed her. I got lots of cute pictures and updates. She worked great with my schedule that was based on how quickly I was driving through not good weather and we got back almost 12hrs later than intended. I came home to my house cleaner than I left it too which was a great surprise after driving 1800 miles in under 48 hours. She even watched a couple of my clients pets that had last minute bookings!”

“Jaden stayed in our home for two weeks with short notice, and took fantastic care of our two very big dogs while we were on a trip. As soon as we met him, we felt completely at ease about leaving them in his care. He left our house in better condition than we did, followed all of our instructions and administered their medications and sent us a very comforting and detailed update. We also had a family emergency, and had to make some changes, and he was very flexible and responsive. We hope to book him again, and would highly recommend him to anyone!”
