About: I have worked in kennels and dog daycares. I’ve worked with dogs big and small, old and young. I can follow any strict diets, routines, and even give medication. I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and have done pet-sitting for friends and family on top of my work experience! As of right now I have a pretty open availability! I can do any week day and even some weekends! For any questions you have on my availability, feel free to reach out, I’m pretty flexible! I care for pets by paying close attention to their behavior and figuring out their needs. I can notice if behavior is slightly changing. I make sure to keep a clean environment and keep up on their necessities!
“Shannon was absolutely wonderful! She was very quick to respond and provided me with updates and photos of both of my animals while I was away. I highly recommend Shannon and she will definitely be my first choice in the future! If you’re searching for a great pet sitter, Shannon is your girl! ?”
“Halie did a wonderful job dropping in on our diabetic cat twice per day (feeding, injecting, and giving our cat her love and attention). We're so glad we found her, and will not hesitate to use her again!”
About: I treat every pet like my own—I have an adorable, energetic pup myself, so I know how much love and attention they need! I'm experienced with both playful puppies and sweet seniors, and I’m all about keeping tails wagging and hearts happy. Pet care is a natural part of my day! I work remotely, so I’m home and available for playtime, potty breaks, and lots of snuggles throughout the day. My own pup keeps me active, and I love having more furry friends around to love and care for! For walks and drop-ins, I focus on giving your pet one-on-one attention and sticking to their routine. Whether it's a brisk walk, playtime, or just some love and companionship, I make sure they feel happy and cared for while you're away. I treat every visit like a chance to brighten their day—and yours!
“Lauren did a WONDERFUL job taking care of my terrier Mira! Lauren was on-time every time for her visits. She did all the necessary things and provided a very detailed report each time. Lauren also went above and beyond. Mira gets very nervous with strangers so Lauren had to change her bedding multiple times. Lauren even laundered the wet blankets. This was the first time I booked a sitter service and could not be happier. Knowing Mira was be well cared for allowed me to not worry and enjoy my trip. I will definitely use Rover the next time i need to be away and hopefully Lauren will be available!”
About: Hi, My name is Sierra! I love animals because they're loyal and the best reason to get up in the mornings! I have never met a dog I didn't immediately fall in love with. I have watch my friends and family pets when they have gone out of town. I could never discriminate against dogs or cats, but cats do hold a special place in my heart because I have always one or several growing up. You are constantly learning when taking care of animals, but most importantly they teach us to love unconditionally. I couldn't imagine my life not being surrounded by furry friends, so I can't wait to meet you and your pet family! I'm currently in between jobs so I have more time to dedicate to checking in your fur babies and provide the best boops around town! I currently live in a house with a fenced in yard but will never leave them unattended while chasing squirrels, and getting much needed exercise.
About: Hello, my name is Hailey! I currently work full-time through the week (Sun-Thurs 10-6) and am looking to make extra cash doing what I love - spending time with dogs! I previously have worked at a dog boarding center in Whitestown, Indiana, making me suitable to take care of your pet, whether it be feeding, exercising, or even medicating them for you while you’re away at work, traveling, whatever the case may be! While I have experience with all kinds of animals, currently I have two large breed dogs, an Australian Shepherd mix who is 6 years old and an Alaskan Malamute who is 7 years old! Both are dog and people friendly, so your dog can have a playmate, or we can arrange your pet to have space to him/herself if necessary! As I have worked for a business that is used to various pets having various needs, I will do my best to accommodate you in any way necessary! I also am used to working with cats (as the dog boarding also has a cat portion as well) so I am more than happy to help your feline friends, too! Hope to see you soon! I have open availability outside of Sun-Thurs 10-6. I work hard to make sure that I am transparent about the time I have to spend with your pets! I have a lot of experience watching other people’s pets, as well as being a lifelong owner of dogs. I love all breeds and ages!
“Brooks did an amazing job watching our dog Utley while we were on vacation! She was reliable, caring, and made us feel completely at ease being away. I especially appreciated the sweet photo updates she sent, they really showed how comfortable and happy Utley was with her. We will absolutely book her again. Highly recommended!”
About: Welcome to my version of Vacation For Dogs! I’ve been caring for pets for over 10 years and absolutely love what I do. Whether it's snuggly couch time, long walks, or energetic play sessions, I always tailor my care to fit each pet’s personality and needs. I have experience with dogs of all ages—from young, curious puppies to sweet senior dogs who need extra patience and comfort. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, administering medication, crate training, and following any special instructions you may have. My top priority is keeping your pet safe, happy, and feeling loved while you're away. I treat every dog like they’re part of my own family. If you're looking for someone dependable, attentive, and truly passionate about animals, I’d love to be your go-to sitter! Caring for pets is a natural part of my daily life—it doesn’t feel like a job, it feels like a passion. I plan my schedule around the needs of the pets I care for, ensuring they get consistent attention, exercise, and affection throughout the day. Whether I’m doing stop-by visits, walks, or overnight stays, I dedicate focused time to each pet to make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. I keep my availability flexible to accommodate morning, midday, and evening routines, and I build in time for things like medication, play sessions, and feeding schedules. Because I genuinely enjoy being around animals, pet care isn’t something I fit into my routine—it is part of my lifestyle. When I care for pets in their own home, I follow your instructions closely to help them feel safe and relaxed in their familiar surroundings. I maintain their regular schedule for walks, meals, and medications, and I make sure their space stays clean and comforting. I’m respectful of your home, keeping things tidy and secure while you’re away. I also send regular updates with photos, so you can have peace of mind.
About: I currently pet sit weekly— dogs of every size, cats, and farm animals! I have tons of references and love animals with a passion! I also am working towards a degree in being a vet technician! I am a stay at home mom so my schedule is very free and flexible so I accommodate pet sitting into almost all of my days! I know separation anxiety is no joke so I make sure to spend quality time with your pets playing outside, going for walks, 30+ minutes of time each visit!
About: I took care of a neighbors dog for the first time at age 11. Since I’ve been relied on by those same neighbors, and others, along with friends, family, and coworkers who are out of town. I have lots of patience for shy dogs who need a little extra love and have worked with dogs of different breeds and sizes. I don’t have much experience with young pups (1 or younger) but I do have experience with older dogs. I’m also experienced in giving medicine, feeding, and safety for dogs. Currently I am out of school and work as a part time host, meaning I have lots of extra time to hang out with pups and cats! My shortest shifts are 5 hours and my longest shift is about 8 hours but those are few and far between. Always feel free to reach out about what my work schedule looks like for the week! I normally work between 1 and 3 shifts a week. I have three cats of my own and they are watched closely to make sure they don’t get outside or put themselves in danger. I also always make sure they are comfortable with plenty of food and water along with space to play around and rest. As for dogs, in previous houses I always make sure to keep dogs on a leash when walking outside just in case anything happens. If there’s any reason I can’t keep a direct eye on the dog outside, I make sure they are either on a leash or safe inside the house. As with cats, I also make sure dogs are fed the right amount at the right time and have fresh, clean water and lots of space to play and relax. I also think it’s important to cater to the animal based on how much attention they need and make sure to give furry friends lots of love if they want it!

About: I’ve always been very passionate towards animals. I’ve volunteered for a shelter and I used to work at a pet store with animals every single day! I am working currently part-time so depending on my schedule for the week I will be able to help you take care of your fur baby! 🐾 I am used to having escape artists so I always make sure no one runs out the door! I am also comfortable using crates or kennels! Just let me know if your fur baby likes to plan their escapes when scheduling! 😊
