About: I have been surrounded by dogs since I was 5 years old, and I’ve loved them ever since. I have taken care of my own dog frequently for 7 years, but I have also taken care of dogs for relatives, ranging from puppies to elderly dogs. I am a graduate student at Indiana University, so my class schedule is much lighter. I am able to walk the dogs during the day, and at night. In your home, I can crate your dogs as well as keep them safe and comfortable while making sure that there is nothing dangerous to them.

About: I’m the kind of sitter who loves your pets like family—because to me, they are. I’ve cared for animals of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, and I’m always learning more about their behavior so I can give them the best, most thoughtful care. I’m patient, playful, and love building trust with each animal I meet. When I’m babysitting, once the kid is in bed, I usually end up curled up with the family pet (not saying who I like more—that wouldn’t be fair). And if I ever disappear at someone’s house, you can bet I’ve found the pet and made a new best friend. Whether it’s walks, snuggles, structure, or quiet company, I’m here to make your pet feel safe, loved, and completely at home. I’m currently an athletic training student at Valparaiso University and doing an internship over the summer, but my schedule is pretty flexible. I’m often able to work around short-notice requests or odd hours, so don’t hesitate to reach out—even if it looks like I’m booked or unavailable. I’ll always do my best to make it work for you and your pets! Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for your pets. I’m probably someone who does a little too much research to make sure every detail is right—whether it’s proper walking manners, keeping pets safe in different temperatures, or understanding the best foods and treats for their health. I want you to feel confident that your furry family member is in knowledgeable, caring hands and that their environment is always secure, comfortable, and loving.

About: I had many dogs growing up that I took care of, as well has helping my grandpa take care of his senior dog for many years. I work full time on third shift, meaning during the day I can be pretty available! I just need at least a days notice so I can adjust my sleep schedule :) I have two cats of my own and cannot take pets to my home, so walking and in home visits are preferred! I can be very flexible in terms of times/days.

About: I have always loved animals, dogs especially hold a place in my heart. I grew up with several different breeds of dogs and cats, so I feel my abilities are diverse enough to take care of many different breeds and types, big or small :). I’m currently working full time mostly from home and I am an OT grad student, my classes are online, and just trying to make ends meet! I recently bought a home, and my fiancée and I absolutely love animals and we are looking for some company with your pups or cats:) I am very willing to adapt to whatever will make your lives easier, at the end of the day it’s your animal and I can understand how important they are in the family, so disrupting a routine is the last thing I would want to do!

“We booked with Kelsie last minute and she was very accommodating with the request! Very pleased with the services provided. We will definitely book with Kelsie again in the near future 😊”


About: I have taken care of animals for friends and family for years! I love taking care of dogs and cats, and giving them extra love. I’m temporarily unemployed (actively looking for a job) so I have all the availability in the world. Once I have a new position, I’ll readjust! I’m a very adaptable person who love rules and information, I’ll always work closely with you to ensure your fur babies’ have the consistency needed.

About: Hi, I’m Rexton — I’ve been caring for animals for over a decade, starting with my childhood dogs and now raising a cat of my own. Pets have always been a steady part of my life, and over the years I’ve had the privilege of walking, sitting, and bonding with all kinds of animals — especially shy or senior pets who need a little extra care. During college, I was the go-to pet sitter for my friends whenever they were away, and I always treated their animals like my own. I have hands-on experience with elderly dogs, including giving medication and helping manage mobility issues with patience and empathy. I’ve also spent a lot of time around more sensitive or anxious pets and know how to build trust at their pace. To me, pets are more than just companions — they’re the kind of friends you can always lean on. Every animal has a unique personality, and once you’ve earned their trust, there’s something truly special about the bond that forms. I’ll take the time to get to know what your pet loves (and what they don’t!), so you can feel confident they’re in good hands while you’re away. I’m currently preparing for Law School, but will have plenty of time outside of my class schedule to attend to your pets needs. Typically, the early mornings and mid-afternoons will be my most accessible times. I offer drop-in service to my clients homes. I know allowing a stranger into your home can be a scary process. I guarantee to respect both the boundaries of your household along with the attentiveness that your pet needs while you’re away.

About: Hi I’m Regan! I’ve been taking care of pets since I was 12, with services including pet sitting, dog walks, drop in visits and more! I work for myself and as a Pilates instructor, so I would be able to check on your pets throughout the day as needed :) I make sure the home is tidy and animal safe and create a space for them if they have a bed, kennel, or toys depending on the needs of the pet.

About: I frequently watch my family dogs, two golden doodles, along with caring for other pets (nannying, dog sitting, etc.). I also love going to the animal shelter and giving the animals some play time. I work 9-5, so outside of those hours during the week, and anytime on the weekends! I am flexible though, please just let me know! I have various dog parks around my property and am willing to drive to houses to take dogs for long walks. My environment is very pet friendly!

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals since I was 10, including dogs, cats, parrots, chickens, and horses, and have some dog training experience. I just graduated from college, so I have a relatively free schedule as I transition, and would love to dedicate that time to animal care! I make sure I am very attentive when seeing what the pet needs, and I make sure to accommodate for whatever recommendations my clients would like to see being done. I also have a flexible schedule and can work around whatever is needed for them to remain happy and healthy.

About: Hi! I’m Samantha, a lifelong animal lover and proud pet parent of 11 years. For over a decade, I have cared for my own pets and have also had the pleasure of pet sitting annually for four wonderful families. Whether it is walks, playtime, or feeding, I treat every animal like my own. I am available during 12:00 PM-1:00 PM most weekdays for a quick visit and after 5:00 PM. I am available most weekends for all hours. I personally do not do dog/cat sitting in my own home. I do have a lovely 1 year old mini Schnauzer named Suki and had a beloved mini Schnauzer named Layla for 9 years!

About: I’ve had animals since I could walk and talk. Ranging from a wide variety such as Dogs, Cats, Fish, Ferrets, Hermit Crabs, Guinea Pigs, Ants, Geckos, and I’ve been help on my papaws farm. If you hire me you’re not just getting someone looking for a paycheck and trying to get in/out. You are getting someone who genuinely cares for all animals. Pets aren’t not “pets” to me as I’m sure yourself understands. They are family and I treat them as such. When you trust in me with your pet, in my eyes you’re trusting me with your kids. If you want someone to be there for your pet when you’re away that is gonna make them feel as if they aren’t alone like you are still there then I’m the way to go. Finding this app will end up being my destiny making a living getting to meet animals and take care of them is a dream come true. Be warned though when my time is done with your pet it’s gonna be sad I haven’t stopped by in a while and you’re gonna be asking me to stop by for a visit. So if you can not judge a book by its cover and want your pet to feel like you’re still there when you can’t be then I’m the guy. I’ve recently been let go of my employment due to a childcare situation. As this is the first time since I turned 14 not having a steady job I’ve been lost with so much free time. Outside of my kids every other week and doing odd jobs to make ends meet I have been like lost soul until a friend helped me stumble upon this app. I am available almost everyday 90% of the day. I am used to flipping my sleep schedule so whatever needs your pet has I can make work. I adopted 2 dogs for my kids when they turned 3 so they could grow up around animals and now are learning responsibilities of owning pets. So even with my kids around pets are in good hands but also I have a very good network of friends so if I need to come and show your pet some love, attention, and due my responsibilities no issues here. I take my kids to and from school so getting out and about for pet needs is no issues. I don’t have a busy life so if you want a person who’s willing to go above and beyond and sit with your pet like you are still there it’s not a problem. If you need a place for your pet no issues here. I have 3 dogs in house in total. I have fish and guinea pigs as well. I have a very large yard for your pet to play if it likes to be outside. Sadly I do not have a fenced in yard due to buying my home during the skyrocket in prices of things during Covid. My dogs are crate trained as well as open to roam free. I do have leads for big and small dogs if going out they aren’t good with commands because they like to explore and see nature “my dogs”. That being said if they like to run and play and enjoy the outdoors I got plenty of yard for them. If you are worried let me put you at ease. My dogs have had plenty of doggy play dates and never had an issue with meeting new company while making friends. Still if that’s not enough to ease you my dogs are good with being in a crate and or outside when needed. My other pets are very well safeguarded so no chance of animal interaction. My kids have their own room and my home inside has plenty of room to roam so whatever your pet needs can be accommodated.

About: Hello! I was raised on a farm with every animal you could think of. I've always had a big love for animals. I have had years of experience not only caring for animals on the farm, but I've also worked at a vets office and have done dog grooming/boarding. I also have dogs that I love competing with and showing at UKC events. Thanks for viewing my profile and I look forward to taking care of your baby/babies! My availability is pretty wide open! I'm at home most all of the time :) Holidays and weekends are no problem, as well as mornings/evenings. Your fur babies can roam free around the house all they'd like. I have several XL crates if that is preferred. I also have baby gates if a confined room is needed. For outside potty breaks, I have a yard & I have a wrap around deck that is gated, whatever your pets preference is. For cats I have a litter box.

About: I hope most sitters on here are like me and truly love animals. I have experience parenting two puppies and raising them through hard and happy times. I have provided wound care, cancer protocols, surgery recovery, basic training, and hospice love. I have cared for friends and families dogs in my home since forever. Your dog will be my baby when staying with me! My pets are with me or my family almost 95%+ of the day. My husband and I work from home or at least one of us is always home. We have two teenage boys that love to play fetch outside, cuddle and take walks! Althought we don't have a fenced in yard, we have 4 acres of woods, trails and plenty of space to zoom around. Depending on the needs of the dog, we can take walks on leashes, spend extra time outside on a lead, or free roam with myself or husband supervising. We live in the furthest home in a cul-de-sac at the end of a private road.

“Anneke loves animals of all kinds, especially dogs. As a young child, she was an integral part of training and caring for my dog Jack. She exudes the same love and responsibility for her family’s dog Toby. She has experience with friendly pets and patience with those that take some time to warm up. Anneke is a capable and conscientious caregiver. She enjoys walking dogs and playing stimulating games and activities. She is dependable for regular feedings and scheduled routine visits that your pet will come to look forward to. I highly recommend Anneke be entrusted with the care and wellbeing of your pet.”


McKenzi B.
“McKenzi has watched my 9 year old bulldog consistently for about 3 years now. She does a great job at sending photos and updates while I’m away on travels. My dog, Lucy, struggles with anxiety and has to take daily medication for her joint pain. McKenzi is always consistent and provides the needed care. She also goes above the standard expectations by giving extra TLC when needed. Lucy looks forward to having her over anytime I’m away and I know my beloved pet is in good hands with her.”

“She does great! Very friendly and calm with our high energy dog. He really likes her and is happy when he realizes now is time for their walk!”


Kiah R.
“Kiah is a trusted friend whenever I need someone to watch my cat while I’m away. She has been a very reliable sitter, making sure to fill his food and water bowls, check on/clean his litter box, and play with him. Most importantly, she passes the vibe check right away with my furry friend as he instantly wants Kiah to hold him like a baby.”


Lexia H.
“We usually travel with our dogs, but when we left the country for the first time a few years ago, we hired Lexia to take care of our 3 dogs. She sent us daily picture updates like we asked and followed their schedule to a T. She has watched our dogs several times since then because now I have someone I trust in my house and with my girls. I would not hesitate to hire her again.”

I have had the honor of being her professor in the psychology program at our university, and she has excelled as a person and in her work throughout getting her degree. I could not recommend her more!”


Samantha H.

She’s truly the best!”
