“Kara was very polite and respectful. Her flexibility and time management are impecable and ability to accommodate sitter needs. Highly recommend Kara, she did a great job!!”
“Patricia helped me out on very short notice, which was a great relief even before she began care. She provided care based on written communication, without our having opportunity to do a meet and greet. This was a first for me and my 70-pound, highly energetic dog. She pulled it off in exemplary fashion, as far as I can tell (my dog is alive and well!). She was punctual enough and, between my instructions and her intuition, there was hardly a hitch. I think you and your dog will be in very good hands.”

I'm a stay at home mom and can walk your furbaby whenever needed. My daughter who is 14 would be going with me as well. She's an animal whisperer for sure and is looking forward to walking your furbabies as well I have 3 indoor cats. Two of them were rescue kittens and one of them is a kitten from one we rescued. They are extremely well taken care of. We've had every type of animal snakes, rabbits, hamsters, turtles, chickens, and so on.

About: I have had dogs my entire life! I live in an area where there are trails to take walks on and a dog park to play at! My goal is to make sure that your pet is loved and taken care of during your time away from them! I work at a full time job, but I am off at a decent time and have plenty of time during the weekends to play, walk, and take care of your fur baby! I make sure that I get up in time to make sure that I can give about 30 minutes of play before work and that they are fed in a timely manner.

About: I’ve been around pets all my life, i’m a hard worker but taking care of animals has always been my passion. I have experience with all types of pets, dogs and cats especially. I have a puppy who I trained by myself. I am physically capable of going on long walks and play time with animals. I’m currently a college student, all of my school is online. My schedule is very flexible, i’m open to working around your schedule to fit your needs. I’m available Monday-Saturday all day and Sundays after 2pm. I’m fine with cleaning up pet messes and completely able to go on walks or to the dog park. I’ve had experience giving medication to my pets when they needed it. I’m usually the one friends and family go to when they have questions about their animals including training questions. In the past I have taken in ferrel cats and dogs and found them all good homes.
About: I have had pets and taken care of other's pets for my entire life. We have always had 2 dogs in my house, which has given me the experience of walking, grooming, basic training, administering medications, nail clippings, teeth brushing, healthy treat making and just playing with pets in general. I have dog watched for many friends and neighbors and would love to continue to help owners with their pets. I am a junior in college and attend Purdue University, but am currently home the summer working part-time which is giving me a lot of freedom to be flexible to other's schedules. I would prefer a set schedule, but I am always willing to be flexible. We live right next to awesome trails and parks which will keep your furry friends active and having fun. We have our own dogs that can keep your dog company or separate if you would prefer to have your dog on its own. I love going for runs, especially with dogs, so would always be willing to do that with your dogs. My whole family are dog lovers and would give your pet some extra love and care.
