“Brittany was great with our cat and very responsive to any of our questions and messages while we were gone. We got lots of pictures from every visit. We will absolutely want to have her back!”

“Very dependable even with a last minute scheduling due to a sudden illness for me. She had great empathy for me, the Mom. Checked in every appointment, along with pictures. A very good person with animals such as my Doberman. The events didn’t allow for an initial Meet-n-Greet with my pet. Yet she was completely accepted by my pet, due to her calm nature. I’ll re-book with Rebecca anytime. She cares and went to the extra mile. !!! I’d give more stars if I could!!”

“Bree was simply fantastic! She met Rupert (our 3-year-old dog) before we went on our trip and spent some time playing with him. We all immediately felt very comfortable with her. While we were away, she sent so many pictures of him, and we could see that he was having a great time. I knew Rupert was in good hands. Thank you for all your help :) we’re lucky to have you!”

“Linda easy to communicate with and took wonderful care of both my cats. Going out of the way to engage HC when she was being temperamental. Sent pictures of both of them daily. Will definitely use her again. Thank you Linda!! From the girls ?and I”

“We are repeat customers of Edmy and Craig. Nobody takes better care of them! This time, Craig came to feed and walk our dogs for 3 days while I was out of town for work and my husband was working. Craig always leaves detailed notes and some cute photos in their Rover Card. We’re forever grateful for Craig and Edmy! :)”

“Our family has been blessed with Tara! We could not be more grateful for how well she took care of our family of furry kiddos! Tara was extremely flexible with our changing schedule and ensured she gave extra attention to our kiddos when she came over and provided thorough report cards lol. We even found a box of treats that she had brought over for the pups! I felt confident about everything and didn’t worry about anything at all. Thank you, Tara!”

“Melinda was good with the drop-in visits! Super kind and made sure my pet was well taken care of. I really appreciated the updates and pictures after each visit—it gave me peace of mind while I was away. My pet seemed comfortable and happy when I got home. I’d book with Melinda again and feel good knowing my pet is in good hands.”

“Jennifer did a great job with Ringo & Rossi ! Thank you so much for the care you gave our Senior dogs ! We will definitely be re- booking with her ! ?”

“I can not say enough good things about Angie and how much she has aided in mine and my dogs life! Very willing to work with my crazy schedule and seeing my pup multiple times a day multiple days a week. She has cleaned up my dogs vomit and diarrhea, she fought off a Rottweiler to protect my dog which was so above and beyond her call of duty lol. Although I only saw Angie face to face a few times, she had such a positive impact on my life and brought me so much joy with all of the wonderful pictures she sent me of my goofy girl while I was at work. Her and her pup Wrigley hold a special place in our heart ?”

“Tracy was amazing and helped us out when we needed someone to let the dogs out very last minute. Tracy was able to send me a picture with both puppies looking at the camera at the same time. This is just short of a miracle :) so I know he is good with pups.”

“Hannah was wonderful throughout the whole process, and Bella was so happy and calm when we got home. Hannah was an excellent communicator and sent the sweetest notes and pictures of Bella each time she stopped by. We recommend Hannah to everyone, and we’re looking forward to having her watch Bella again in the future! Thank you, Hannah!!”

About: What sets me apart is that I’ve grown up surrounded by animals my whole life—dogs, cats, fish, and even the occasional bunny. Because of this, I’m comfortable with all kinds of personalities and needs. I have experience walking energetic dogs, caring for playful puppies, and making sure senior pets feel safe and comfortable. My background helps me tune in to each pet’s unique routine and give them the same love and attention they’d get from you. I am currently unemployed so I have so much free time to look after & take care of your fur baby! I am looking for side hustles to keep me busy. As of right now, I only have my one cat in my house. If there is a dog in the house he does not pay them any mind really, but I have multiple rooms to keep them separated & I can use a crate/cage as need be. I would give each animal play-time and attention from me regardless. If, I was to watch the animal in my clients home, I would adhere to whatever rules or routines my client has in place.
About: A home away from home for your pet children. Think of it as "GrandMa & Paws Paws" Bed & Breakfast. I've been blessed to retire early after an extensive career in different areas, one being prior work experience in the pet industry. I had plenty of experience with veterinarian offices throughout NE Indiana. But, the favorite titles I wear proudly are mom and dog mom and wife to my husband. Throughout the years I've had my heart full of animals -dogs being my speciality and of all sizes, breeds and characteristics. I am dependable, reliable and honest. And I’m easy to communicate with. I have been blessed to retire early after an extensive career in different areas, one being prior work in the pet care industry with plenty of trainings with several veterinarian clinics throughout NE Indiana. Your pet kid will be monitored 24/7 inside my home and outside of my home. As I do this with my own pet children. Throughout the years I've had my heart full of animals - dogs being my speciality of all sizes and breeds. While, also having some of the best cats in the mix of my dogs I care for them with all my background knowledge I've learned over the years of caring for and loving my dog babies. My home is always nice and tidy and so is my backyard. I keep their environment very tidy. I have a fenced in yard. My two dogs are never unsupervised during rain, snow or heat. I guess you would call me a helicopter pet parent. I do have nice kennels with bedding.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life, been through training with two of them. Currently have a 3 year old and 11 year old so I get the senior portion and high energy. I’m a hairstylist so it’s very easy to create my own schedule or not work certain days or be able to break away for potty breaks or emergencies I don’t have children so I treat mine like they are. We go on lots of walks, lots of play time and snuggles. I like to stick to schedules as I know it’s good for them to act correctly.
About: I, Carter and my mother Mindy, have been pet owners our entire lives. We have experience with young, adult, and senior dogs. Along with experience in administering certain types of medications, and our house is blind dog friendly thanks to indoor gates and a fenced in and safe backyard. We’ve recently lost our last dog and don’t plan to get another animal companion, but we love to help people care for their furry companions temporarily as a way to give back to the same people who did such for us when we were pet owners. Mindy works from home and loves to work outside in her garden, which would mean a lot of outside time for your pet in our fenced in backyard. Carter is around more in the mornings and nights meaning if your animal is a “night owl” they shall still be cared for round the clock. We have a designated area for food and water in our house, along with many toys and bones from throughout the years. We are in a very safe neighborhood with a fenced in backyard and lots of room to run. Any animals living with us will always be treated with kindness and a sense of belonging no matter the duration of their stay!

“Leah and Clint are AMAZING!! They take such good care of our baby girl and are very attentive! They sent updated everyday to let me know what was going on. HIGHLY recommend!!”

“Mariah was great! Her photo updates always showed that Duffy was having fun, and in good hands. Communication is important when we entrust our fur friends to others, and Mariah was right on top of that. Will definitely book her again when I have opportunity to travel!”

“Stephanie went above and beyond to make sure Odie had the best time while I was away at work for a week. She was flexible and accommodated last minute changes, she cleaned up after his messes and just did an amazing job. Thank you so much for all you’ve done for Odie and I!”
