House Sitting in Smithland

“As usual Trinity did a great job taking care of our furry kids. I got a lot of pictures and updates! And we always appreciate knowing what they are up to when we are not home. Thanks so much!!”

“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!”

About: I grew up surrounded by dogs—including chihuahuas, a Bernese Mountain Dog, and currently a high-energy golden retriever and a 14-year-old senior chihuahua. I understand the unique needs of puppies, active breeds, and senior pets. I follow care routines to the letter and truly enjoy connecting with each animal’s personality. Whether it’s energetic play or gentle companionship, I provide thoughtful, consistent, and loving care. Pet care easily fits into my daily routine. I am a part time student and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to be available for walks, feedings, medications, and quality time throughout the day and evening. I treat every home and pet with respect. I follow detailed instructions and prioritize cleanliness, comfort, and routine. I ensure pets have a safe, familiar environment—whether that means sticking to their feeding schedule, using harnesses properly on walks, or keeping medications on track. Communication is key, and I always provide timely updates to pet parents.

“If Rick is available to care for your dog, book him! He is an actual dog trainer and my very fussy dog loved her time with him. Rick is very gracious and sent me doggie pics every single day. Knowing that she was in such good hands, greatly enhanced my time away. He's terrific!”

“my husband and i hired claire to watch our dogs while we were out of town on a birthday trip, and having her there made it so much easier to relax! she provided consistent updates along with pictures of them. she made sure to even pick up dog toys, and cleaned up well after herself before she left.”

Abigail S.

“Lexi is one of the best sitters out there! You can tell she is passionate for animals and treats them as her own. She was so great at communicating with us and is very responsive. We received a video update on our pups as well. The house was left in the same shape we left it in. Very kind, sweet, and caring girl!”

Katie C.

“Hannah was very flexible, meet n greet, and is kind, confident, and understanding. She clearly has experience with loud and large dogs as well. I would trust her to watch the dogs again!”

Eliza F.

“Bridget did a wonderful job with both our cat and dog. She went above and beyond with regards to sending photos, keeping us up to date on everything, and making sure our pets were happy. It was visible in the photos how comfy and content our pets were with her. She even did arts and crafts with them and took Letti to get ice cream. On top of all this, Bridget was watching our pets at a point where the cat and dog were getting used to living with one another, and she did a wonderful job giving them supervised interactions and continuing our socialization for both of them while we were gone. Can’t recommend her enough!”

Terrence W.

“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.”

“Alison is amazing and I highly recommend her! She was my first sitter using Rover and the first dog sitter I’ve hired that I didn’t know. She took excellent care of my senior dog Jax (13 year old malamute mix with arthritis who is on multiple medications) and excellent care of my home! I was nervous about leaving him, but my nerves were instantly calmed when I met her for an introduction meeting before my trip. She sent multiple photos each day and her updates on how he was doing made me feel like she genuinely cared about him. I usually get some attitude from Jax for leaving him, but he was in such good spirits when I came home that I really think he enjoyed his time with her. The house was the least of my concerns, but she took excellent care of that as well! Don’t hesitate to book with her if she’s available! I would give her 100 stars if possible.”

Ellen B.

“Chandler was amazing to work with and so communicative with me throughout the process! He sent so many wonderful photos and videos and made me feel great leaving my pets in his hands!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my entire life, so caring for animals has always been second nature to me. Over the years, I’ve regularly dog sat for friends, family, and neighbors, gaining experience with pets of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. This past summer, I worked for a professional dog walking and cat visiting company, where I received hands-on training in handling different breeds, recognizing body language, and responding to a variety of situations with calm and care. I’m comfortable caring for puppies who need extra training and supervision, as well as senior pets who may require gentler handling or special accommodations. I’m skilled at following detailed care instructions, administering medications, and adjusting my approach to match each pet’s personality and needs. What sets me apart is my combination of lifelong passion, professional training, and dedication to treating every pet as if they were my own. I go to Indiana University Indianapolis, but I make time in my weekly routine to care for pets because it’s something I truly enjoy. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to fit in walks, drop-in visits, and sitting around my classes. Whether it’s mornings, afternoons, or evenings, I’m able to dedicate quality time to making sure pets are happy, healthy, and well cared for. My classes are only on Tuesdays and Thursdays. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always follow their established routines and any specific instructions provided to keep pets comfortable and stress-free. I’m attentive to each animal’s unique needs, whether that means using special walking equipment, feeding a particular diet, or administering medications. My background working for a dog walking and cat visiting company taught me how to handle pets of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, as well as how to respond calmly to unexpected situations. I make safety a top priority, ensuring leashes and harnesses are secure, doors and gates are closed, and pets are never put in unsafe situations. Most importantly, I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing consistent care, affection, and attention so both pets and owners can feel confident and at ease.

“I am so glad we found Brooke! She was such a great friend to our pups and took such great care of them. She kept us updated every day and left our home the way we left it for her. We are so thankful for her!”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A+ Puppy Sitter! Kylee is truly amazing! She’s been taking care of my puppy, and I couldn’t be more impressed. From the moment they met, my pup took to her instantly — which says a lot, because dogs know good people. Kylee is kind, patient, and super attentive. She keeps me updated with adorable photos and little check-ins, which always puts my mind at ease. Not only does she make sure my puppy is safe and happy, but she also plays with him, reinforces good habits, and gives him all the love and attention he needs (including his favorite after-dinner treat!). It’s clear she genuinely cares and goes above and beyond. If you’re lucky enough to have Kylee watching your fur baby, rest assured — they’re in the best hands. Highly, highly recommended!”

“Addison did a terrific job when she stayed over night with our tiny Yorkie, Piper. She sent pictures, gave lots of updates, and was comfortable reaching out if she had questions about anything. She was friendly and kind and Piper warmed up to her very quickly when she came for the meet and greet prior to her stay here. We definitely recommend her and will be rebooking with her in the future!”

Megan F.

“Heather agreed to watch my pup for a weekend on such short notice. She sent a lot of updates and pictures so I knew my dog was being cared for while I was away. Thank you Heather!”

Amber S.

“Andrew was an absolute godsend while we were away!!! He took the BEST care of our dog, and sent us cute photos and videos each day! He truly listened to what we wanted for our dog (who is older and a little stubborn) and went above and beyond in terms of caring for her like his own beloved pet. He checked in with us to ensure that we were ok with certain things, and did an amazing job of keeping us reassured that things were all a-ok, which was particularly nice since it was our first time experiencing an in-home pet sitter. He left our house in nicer condition than when we left it. I’m pretty sure my dog misses him now that we are home! We have already told him we will be using his services again in the future!!!”

Becky L.

“Medi was amazing!”

Grace 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.”

About: I have been a lifelong animal lover with a passion for providing top-notch care for dogs and cats. For many years, I have shared my home and heart with animals, as the owner of two dogs and two cats. This hands-on experience provides a deep understanding of their needs, from daily routines and playtime to administering medication and managing complex feeding schedules. My commitment to animal welfare extends beyond my own pets. My extensive experience fostering both dogs and cats has equipped me with the skills to handle a wide range of temperaments and needs, including shy or nervous animals. Fostering has also taught me to adapt quickly to different personalities and provide the comfort and reassurance pets need in new environments. I am a stay at home dog mom which means I am available most days and am very flexible with my availability including nights and weekends. I commit to following all of your rules and boundaries while caring for your fur baby in your home while showing them the highest level of care.
