About: I have worked at a dog boarding facility in the past, as well as pet sitting! I have experience giving medication and with special diets. I am comfortable with younger pets up to senior pets! I am responsible and responsive! I currently have a full time job Monday-Thursday, so I am looking for pet care work Friday-Sunday! There is an option to provide morning walks every day of the week. I will be very respectful of your home and space while caring for your pet. I don’t offer pet care in my home, because I have a cat.
“Tessa is amazing, and handled our three crazy dogs with attention and care we can't wait to have her back. She makes it so you can actually relax when away: Yay! She stayed in our home the whole time and will be back.”
“Andrea is the absolute best! If you are looking for a trusting sitter that will love your fur baby and keep you update, stop looking because you have found your sitter. 100000% trustworthy and I am just SO thankful for Andrea! Thank you Andrea, you are the best!”

“Lance was awesome. He watched and took care of our 3 Pomeranians as though they were his. He sent us morning and evening photos with updates. He did everything as we asked. I was not worried at all the whole time we were away. That was nice!! I know we have finally found someone to trust with our kiddos. DO NOT HESITATE TO GO WITH LANCE S............HE IS AN AWESOME GENTLEMEN”

About: I’ve taken care of my aunt’s dog since I was little and then briefly lived with one until he passed. I was in charge of walking and feeding them and both dogs absolutely adored me. Now as I’ve grown up, my favorite animals are still dogs but I unfortunately don’t have any and I have the cutest little kitties. Hoping to get my serotonin boost from hanging out with your pups instead! I’m currently studying so I’m available for onboarding any day you need me to! I’m free to watch over them and make sure their needs are met since I am home all day typically. My yard isn’t fenced fully but it is mostly and your fur baby will have all the space to run around. I will be home all day to keep them company and make sure they’re happy.
“Cal was absolutely amazing! He watched our two dogs for two days over Thanksgiving and treated them like they were his own. He sent frequent updates, photos, and check-ins so we always knew how they were doing, which gave us so much peace of mind. Our pups were clearly comfortable, happy, and well cared for. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely be booking with Cal again. Highly recommend!”

“We absolutely loved having Madeline watch our two pups while we were on vacation! I am guilty of leaving too many instructions sometimes, and she made me feel at ease before and during our time away. She also cleaned the house, washed all linens, and left the house in perfect shape. We’d be honored to have her as a sitter again!”


About: I have recently started my journey of animal handling but have gone through a FetchFind 12 step training to make sure that I am able to differentiate dog behavior well to better understand your pets. Experience in dog walking and supervising play time, administering medicine and regular feeding schedules. Ready to serve your pets the right way! I plan to fully commit my schedule to taking care of your pets in the way that best suits you, the parents and the animals! You can trust that I will be respectful during my stay within your home and will follow any house rules that are given. My goal and top priority is to make sure your pet is happy and ready to see you when you arrive home!
“Loni was very responsive and diligent in caring for our two dogs. She had no issues with their medications and I felt very safe and comfortable having her at our home. She sent lots of pictures and was very communicative. We look forward to working with her again soon!”


About: I have been involved in several volunteer groups for pets and rescue organizations. I’m sure I could help your peace of mind when you need. I’m currently working for Rover full time. I’m looking to make this a career path and I’m trying to earn more than happiness from Rover. My apartment has a private entrance and I have parks and trails to take them near me that are secure. I have multiple options for boarding.
“Bree has spent the last week watching our 9 month old puppy. She suggested doing scent games to keep him occupied and mentally stimulated as well as other basic training he is still working on. She sent lots of photos and always kept us in the loop!”

“Alicia was wonderful to work with. Gita absolutely loved her and Brad, and staying in their home for 10 days without ever feeling lonely gave me tremendous peace of mind. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.”

About: Growing up with an Australian Shepherd Blue Heeler mix (Buddy), I loved teaching him new tricks, going for walks, and playing enriching games that helped get his energy out. My parents added a Chiweenie (Joey) to the family a couple years ago, so now when I visit I love to walk them both, give Buddy back massages, and snuggle little lap dog Joey. I often dog/house sit for my parents; being in their home environment seems to be most comfortable for the pups. Aside from dogs, I graduated from IU Bloomington in 2021, have switched careers from management and sales to healthcare, and now work for a local school system. I am looking for something fun, active, and outdoors for the summer - what better activity than dog walking/sitting?! I cannot wait to connect and meet your furry family. I am currently working full time, but will soon have the summer off to help care for your pups! My current schedule varies, but I am available some evenings and weekends. Send me a message and I will get back to you ASAP! I will ensure to adhere to any dog schedules/routines, send regular photo/text updates upon client request, and to care for your dogs like my own. I will do everything in my power to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. You can expect frequent and thorough communication - don’t be afraid to leave detailed lists/notes of exactly how you want your dog cared for. I will do my best to mimic how you care for your pet to ease any distress and make your absence as enjoyable as possible for them.
“Laura Rose was great - friendly and helpful. Laura was very good with our dogs, and they and our house were well taken care of. We appreciated receiving photos while we were gone. A positive experience for me and the dogs.”
About: Hi! I provide attentive, full-time care from my home, which means your pet will never be left alone for long periods. Because I’m home throughout the day, I’m able to give consistent supervision, regular potty breaks, playtime, and lots of affection. What sets me apart is the level of attention and structure I provide. I don’t just “watch” pets, I actively engage with them. Whether that means helping reinforce puppy training (crate training, basic commands, potty routines), sticking closely to a senior dog’s medication or mobility needs, or giving anxious pets extra patience and reassurance, I tailor care to each pet’s personality. I do have a yard for outdoor time and fresh air. Since it isn’t fenced, all outdoor time is supervised and safely managed to ensure your pet’s security at all times. I’m comfortable caring for: • Puppies who need structure and frequent potty breaks • Senior pets who require a slower pace or medication • High-energy dogs who need active play and stimulation • Shy or anxious pets who benefit from a calm, consistent environment You’ll also receive regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is for you to feel completely at ease while you’re away and for your pet to feel safe, happy, and loved. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I’m home full-time. This allows me to build my day around the pets in my care rather than fitting them in between long absences. Mornings typically begin with feeding, potty breaks or litter box cleaning, and some one-on-one attention. Throughout the day, I provide regular outdoor breaks (fully supervised), playtime, enrichment, and plenty of affection. Because I’m home, I can easily maintain your pet’s normal feeding schedule and routine. In the evenings, pets continue to receive attention and companionship so they feel settled and comfortable. My schedule allows me to provide consistent supervision and structure every day of the week. When caring for pets in my home, I focus on maintaining a calm, structured, and safe environment. Because I’m home full-time, pets receive consistent supervision, regular potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of companionship throughout the day. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, crate preferences, exercise needs, and sleep habits. I understand that consistency helps pets feel secure, especially in a new environment. I have a yard for outdoor time and fresh air. Since it isn’t fenced, all outside time is closely supervised to ensure safety. Pets are never left unattended outdoors. In a client’s home, I respect your space and your pet’s established routine. I prioritize feeding schedules, clean water, potty breaks or litter box care, enrichment, and one-on-one attention. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is safe and comfortable. My goal in any setting is to create a low-stress, attentive experience where pets feel secure and cared for.
