Amara was amazing! Even got my reclusive cat Soeren to come out for treats. Lily, of course, was her usual extroverted self and came out for lovies. So sad we only got to try her services once, but we will definitely recommend her to friends.

Paris was great! I came home to a healthy and happy car! Each day Paris gave me a very thoughtful and detailed update, which made me REALLY happy since this was my first time leaving my cat for more than a night! Would highly recommend Paris to take care of your fur babies.

About: I have owned dogs all my life. I am attentive and caring. I wanted to be a veterinarian before entering corporate America! Spending time with your pet is my dopamine! I work full time office job and would love to fill some free time loving your pet while you’re away! I will be attentive to your pets preferences and schedule. I have no pets if my own so their needs are my top priority! I live in a quiet and safe neighborhood that is perfect for your pet to spend time in!

About: I have a lot of experience with animals, including previous house-sitting experience and working at zoos. I love being able to spend time with pets and give them love and care while their families are busy or out of town! I currently have full availability and can fully adapt to your schedule. I can do at home care, including overnights, drop in visits, or walks whenever needed! I live in a single-bedroom apartment, so I would only feel comfortable providing care in my home for cats. I have lots of experience working with animals both professionally and for friends and family. I love being able to care for pets at their comfort level with new people and find so much joy in being able to fit into your pets lives!

Wes has done a fantastic job with drop-in visits for my goldendoodle. She's still in her puppy phase, and he makes time for walks and playing in the backyard. He has always been on-time and communicates well after each visit. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for dog care!

Edmy was amazing. I felt 100% comfortable leaving our young pup, Jasper, in her care for drop ins while at work/school. Excellent communication, trustworthy and caring. I loved getting the daily reports with fun pictures of Jasper from her visits. She is so passionate about what she does and I would highly recommend her for any of your pet needs.

Highly recommend! Upon reading the report card from Tonie, a comment was made from another dog owner, "Wow, you got a good rover." I was so nervous leaving my dogs, especially my ailing senior. When my normal dogsitter cancelled last minute, I was very hesitant having a stranger watch my dogs. Tonie did a great job. I actually prefer her over my other sitters.

About: I’ve taken care of neighbors’ dogs since I was a kid. I have worked with anxious older dogs, puppies and high energy breeds. I am also comfortable giving medication. I’m a runner who loves the outdoors so a walk or run with your dogs sounds like a great summer day. I’m currently working part time so I will have lots of time to play with your pets! I’m a runner and love everything outside so a walk or run with your dog sounds like a great way to spend my afternoons! I don’t have any other pets at home. I don’t have a fenced in yard but can keep them on a long leash if that is necessary. I only work for a few hours a day so your dog will spend most of it’s time with me.

About: I have taken care of animals my entire life. My family has involved me in the care of all of our family pets, including dogs of multiple sizes and multiple cats. I also have experience taking care of dogs and cats together. Additionally, I have experience caring for aquatic tanks and animals. I have owned tanks with betta fish for 5 years. I currently have two rescue cats of my own and am caring for my family’s beloved senior dog, an English Springer Spaniel. I aim to provide excellent pet care and friendly service to all pet families. I am a recent college graduate looking to establish pet sitting clients while I work on personal writing projects. I have very open availability at this time and am willing to work with clients to establish regular times for care. I will take care of your animals according to your specifications. I have supplies including extra leashes and waste bags if needed for care. I can either walk your animal right outside your home or transport them to my neighborhood for walks if needed.

About: I've have taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember. I am constantly around animals and having to commit myself to taking care of them. I am comfortable around all pets and I am very flexible and willing to learn how to best take care of your animal. When I come to take care of, play with, and walk your pets, I will dedicate my time to loving them. I've had 5 energetic dogs throughout my life. My family has had everything from small to really big. We had a papillon, papillon mix, pomeranian, pitbull/boxer mix, and a pitbull/german shepherd mix. My dogs were always the larger ones and I can handle walking very large dogs easily since my dogs weren't the best on the leash. Currently we have two dogs but I learned how to take care of them when they were babies, to when they were having old age problems. So, I can work with any range of age. I also have a cat in college now that I love taking care of. I am a student-athlete currently, but I always have time in the evenings to dedicate to taking care of a pet. I am available for drop-ins on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays. When you are home, I would love to take your fur babies for walks, to dog parks, anything you already do with them to make them the most comfortable! I am a student-athlete at IU Bloomington, so my schedule is a little packed but I miss my pets and I also love to walk, so this sounded like a great option. I am free on Saturday after morning practice, all day Sunday, mostly all day Tuesday, and all day Thursday. :) I would care for my client's pets like they were my own. I can handle giving them constant attention, feeding, walking, watering, and everything else. I am 6'0 ft tall, so I can handle big dogs if necessary.

About: I grew up with a dog and I currently have two dogs of my own and I am fostering a dog until he’s healthy again! In the summer I love to be outside and get some walks in! I work full time Monday - Friday. I can always be available all weekend long! I keep my weekends free and can do some walks on some week nights if needed. I have a privacy fence and I always take dogs on the leash outside, I never want to risk animal safety so they will always put out on a leash inside and taken off leash inside.

About: I've grown up surrounded by pets—from energetic pups to laid-back cats—and caring for animals has always been second nature. For the past three years, I’ve been the go-to pet sitter for my family during vacations, making sure their pets are safe, happy, and loved. I bring that same level of care and attention to every pet I meet! I also have an in house camera system for constant monitoring. Working third shift gives me a flexible daytime schedule, which means I’m wide awake and available when most people are at work. Whether it’s morning walks, afternoon playtime, or midday check-ins, I have the time and energy to give your pet the attention they deserve. I provide care from my apartment, creating a safe and cozy environment for your pet. I live in a very quiet pet friendly neighborhood. I'm also physically strong, which allows me to confidently handle larger or high-energy dogs while keeping them safe and happy. I use flea prevention spray and traps between each client.

First time using this app, and Olivia went out of her way to make my pet feel at home, even when he was stubborn. She kept in touch with me quickly when I had a question.

Elliot was great to work with - very friendly, quick to respond, and flexible. Ozzy was very happy and well cared for when we got home. Elliot even helped us out with some deliveries and feeding our fish, as a last minute ask. We will definitely be in contact again for Ozzy-care the next time we're out of town! Thanks, Elliot!
