“Emily was amazing. She took great care of our two Goldens and we loved receiving pics of them while we were gone. We are gone quite a bit and will definitely be requesting her in the future!”

About: Animals have been in my life since I was born. Cats, dogs, rodents, fish... even spiders! I've loved and cared for them all. I'm confident around all pets no matter their size or demeanor Working in education, my summers are always guaranteed off so I have plenty of time for your animals! Mornings, afternoons, evenings...even emergency visits! I can do them all. Including WEEKEND AVAILABILITY Any instructions given about your fur baby will be followed to a T. They are my number one priority and will always be treated as such.
“Blair did a great job caring for our dogs while we were away for the weekend. She even went out of her way to shampoo our carpet after our dogs had an accident. Our dogs were happy and healthy when we got back home.”

About: I’m a registered nurse who has owned dogs my whole life and has previously worked at a dog kennel. I love dogs and can assure your pets will be safe with me! My schedule is currently wide open. I would prefer a normal 9-5 workday, however I can be flexible. With enough notice I have no problems making time for your fur babies! I understand how important routine is to pets and promise to follow any instructions given. Pets function better and live more stress free lives when they run on their daily routine.
About: Your pet's happiness is my top priority! I understand that your furry friends are family, and I'm dedicated to providing them with the love and attention they deserve. What truly sets me apart is my commitment to creating a unique and enriching experience for every pet. From playful puppy training sessions to gentle, compassionate senior care, I tailor my services to meet their individual needs. With a focus on building trust and fostering a strong bond, I ensure your pet feels secure, comfortable, and cherished in my care. Let's connect and explore how I can make your pet's time with me truly exceptional! I’m currently a senior in high school so I usually have school from 8-3:20 and then I have track practice until 5pm on most week days but sometimes I have days off or special holidays so let me know any date and I can see if I’m available for that time. For the Summer I go to my other job on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 10-6 so if you want me to house sit, I would in the mornings,evening and all night or if you pay me more then I would working those days I would gladly house sit all day and take those days off lol 😝 My family has three Golden retrievers and lots of cats. Throughout my life I’ve had many animals, most have been rescues we have saved. I love spending time with animals and believe they all have some kind of love to give . I love to give them the same love they give us.
About: I’ve always had dogs, ever since I was born, so I have a LOT of experience! I have been trusted with my friends’ pets as well, going over to their houses to take care of the dogs and play with them! I am working part-time right now, so I have pretty good flexibility when it comes to needing someone to come and take care of your pets. I can do some weekends and weekdays. I am not available Wednesday evenings after 4. I will feed them (a certain amount of times a day if that is what you normally do) and make sure they have plenty of water. If they normally go in a crate during the day/at night, I can do that for you as well.
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.
“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”

“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!”

“I have had Micaela twice now to watch my baby Hep. She is always so sweet and accommodating! She is also great with communication! I will be booking her again in future and I would recommend her 100 percent!!!”

About: I’ve taken care of animals for a little over 6 years now . I first started with dog walking and realized how much I enjoy being with animals and taking care of them. I’ve watched dogs and cat for family and friends. I’d love to start caring for animals more so I can eventually turn it into a full time job. I’m currently working a full time job. I get off of work around 3:30 or 4:00 and I go in at 8:00 AM. I will mostly be watching animals after I get done with my job. I would mostly be watching animals in the clients home as my home is not set up to have pets in it as of right now.
