“Never felt more comfortable leaving my fur babies. Tracy sent updates with pictures daily. Completely reliable and followed through with every detail I asked of him. I loved him and more importantly my pups did. It’s obvious Tracy is an animal lover. Will definitely ask Tracy to watch my dogs again and will highly recommend him.”
“Lisa gave great updates, followed my dogs’ schedules properly, even cleaned up some messes which I am so appreciative of! She gave them lots of love and care! She was great!”
“Let me start by saying I have two very senior rescues who both definitely have their quirks and needs. I was so nervous to leave Patch and Lilah during our vacation, because I had never left them since adopting them about a year ago. Tonie was INCREDIBLE! She has a vast knowledge of dogs and their needs. She sent me pictures of her outside playing with them, laying on the couch with them, etc. I will definitely hire Tonie again to watch the dogs for future vacations. She really truly cares about the pets she watches, that shows.”
“Brooklyn was able to help me out last minute and was great. She paid a lot of attention to my dogs and they really liked her. She communicated well and was fully invested in making sure my dogs were well-taken care of while I was gone.”
About: I have taken care of animals almost as soon as I could walk! Growing up in rural Indiana, my family always had dogs, cats, fish, rabbits, frogs, and even 1 turtle! We'd also help out our neighbor with their Goats and Horses from time to time! I've always had a love for animals which was further strengthened through my 16 years of Zoo Camp at the Fort Wayne Children Zoo! I was a camper for 12 years and a Volunteer Worker for 4! 2 of those years, I was able to train some of the miniature goats! My day to day is fairly flexible as I work remotely at a World Wide Solar Distribution Company! As, long as I can have my laptop and phone on me, I am solid! I like learning about the pets first from the owners, they are going to be the best source of information and taking notes will help keep things organized and straight!
“Loved having Julia stay with our 2 pups for 3 nights. Punctual, the girls loved her, great at communicating with us, cared for our home and dogs as if they were her own. 10/10 would recommend and we will definitely hire her again. 😊”

“Lilli took amazing care of my senior cat. She kept me updated and sent pictures. He was very relaxed when I got home because he got so much love. She also left my apartment spotless which was greatly appreciated.”
“Very dependable and patient sitter for my moody little pooch!! Great communication with updates and pictures! We look forward to Breanna visiting again!”
About: I’ve always loved animals since I was little! I’ve been dog sitting for a few families for a couple years now and I have walked so many dogs in my neighborhood. I absolutely love getting to meet new furry friends! My own dog is my best friend. I love giving him attention and love no matter how tired I may be. We go on walks together, sit and watch birds together, and he will even sleep with me sometimes. Taking care of him is a true joy. Very carefully, yet playfully. No dog wants to have a sitter that doesn’t play with them or at least give them attention. Following the rules, but also having fun is something I’m very good at :)
About: I have taken a wide variety of dogs from a Chihuahua to a German shepherd. Neighbors and friends have relied on me to walk, feed, give medications and play with their dogs. I have also stayed overnight servers different times. This has given a wide variety of experience with different cares and types of dogs. I am currently looking for part time summer jobs. I am fairly flexible and could work a variety of days and hours. I am able to pick up jobs at a short notice. I have a two weeks I would not be able to work but am free the rest of the summer. I am not currently in an apartment that would not suite dogs. I am comfortable and have experience with pet care in the home. I would be able to stay or night or visit throughout the day. I can walk, play and crate dogs if needed.

Samantha sent updates and pictures of how the day was going - lots of cuddles and playtime :). Samantha is very attentive to feeding times/routine. Samantha house sat with Daisy. Everything was perfectly in place when we returned! We have already booked another house-sitting. Thank you Samantha!!!”
“Lydia didn't exceptional job watching our dog, Fiona! She was very helpful when I needed to extend our trip and have her watch Fiona longer. She did a great job with Fiona!! We will definitely be using her services in the future!!!”
“Amy was amazing at everything. My dog is very fearful and she accommodated to his needs by meeting him before and interacted with him to gain his trust. She treated him amazing and was very communicative during her stay. He trusted her right away and I cannot be more thankful for finding her! She stayed at our home with our dog for 10 days and everything was perfect!!”
About: We have a home where I have cared for and given a loving family to dogs and cats for years. We believe in a safe and playful environment for all animals upbringing. I only work part time and also work from home so I am able to pretty much dedicate all my attention to the animals when they need it. I have a fenced yard in my home where I can keep the pups stimulated with play time occasionally. If I have other dogs I'll make sure they get along but if need be separated. I mostly wfh and am trying to accommodate busy people by making last minute bookings so I'm pretty much available whenever it is convenient for you. In my home, I make sure to provide plenty of love and attention to all pets in my care. This includes feeding them on a regular schedule, providing access to fresh water, and giving them opportunities for exercise and play. I also make sure to keep the living space clean and comfortable for them. When providing services like house visits or house sitting, I follow the same routine as in my own home and also follow any specific instructions or guidelines provided by the pet's owner. If the pet is staying with me for an extended period of time, like during a boarding service, I also make sure to take them on regular walks and provide them with mental stimulation through activities. As mentioned, I have a fenced yard and able to put them on a playpen for their safety and comfort if necessary.
