About: well, one thing that makes me unique is my extensive experience in training puppies. i've worked with a lot of dogs before, so i'm great at handling them and helping them learn new tricks. but wait, there's more! i also have some experience with senior care and can provide personalized care and support for older animals. I have open availability! Just give me a two days notice and a day before if you need to cancel. You can reach me by my phone number. when i'm caring for pets in my own home, i make sure to provide a safe and comfortable environment for them. i have all the supplies they need, from food and water bowls to toys and comfortable bedding and when i'm caring for pets in their owner's home, i follow the same guidelines and make sure to respect their space and routine. i also always make sure the pets are comfortable and well-taken care of.

“I booked Tabbie to walk our doggies and she was a lifesaver these past couple of days. Tabbie was very responsive, prompt, courteous and on time. She even asked if I wanted to walk them longer which I appreciated that a lot. A tired dog is a good dog and they were nice and tired. I will definitely be using Tabbie for more dog walks!”

About: My name is Jorineè and I am a certified veterinarian’s assistant. I have been certified for about 3 years now. I’ve received my experience while working at a veterinary hospital to help pursue my passion for helping animals. I am pretty flexible this is my full time job. I am fully available throughout the week. Your pet will definitely be in good hands. Contact me in advance because I am always able to work around schedules. I will follow directions given by pet parents and if any special needs are needed to be met I am always willing to accommodate your pets needs.

“Great with Luna and her personality!!”

“Iman was wonderful! I have never left my dogs before but had to in order to move. She was patient, truthful, transparent about her services, and most importantly KIND. I was a mess and she talked me through all the changes and what she thought was best for my animals. She was very professional when she met them and when we walked them. She came at all of her scheduled visits and spent time with them even sending me photos to keep me calm. Most importantly, the last photo she sent me of my little, old lady, I could tell that Leela was sad to see her new friend go. She really did a great job caring for my babies and even left me samples of her dog food. I will definitely use her again and highly recommend!!!”

About: I have owned a dog my entire life. I have lived with four, including our old foster dog. I am a kitten foster with Humane Indiana since 2020. Since then, I have fostered over 30 kittens. I am used to the hard work that comes with taking care of animals, and more than happy to do so. I am currently a full time college student so will have time to take care of your pet before, after, and in between my classes. My weekends are pretty free. I have a fenced in backyard along with one dog (king charles spaniel). He is very friendly but can stay separate if need be. I have four cats that are used to other animals with my fostering experience. They will stay away from dogs or can be in the basement.

“I have big dogs. They are trained, but I still tend to worry about their strength taking an outside person by surprise. Alex was GREAT with my Boerboels (aka South African mastiffs). I really look forward to her working with my dogs again!”

About: I was always had furry siblings but have graduated to a cat mama. I enjoy creating personal heavens for our companions. Reliable, punctual and kind. I have a full-time job that pays the bills but I am looking for ways to feed my soul. Overnights are great as well as drop ins. I would prefer to host at client's homes as my current home does not allow dogs. Willing to board or take cats overnight. Let's make it a sleepover!

“Mariah accepted my request last minute and was a huge help. She went above and beyond when walking my pup on an abnormally hot day to make sure he didn't overheat. Great communication. Will request her help again.”

About: As a lifelong animal lover with years of experience in pet care, I understand that every pet has their own unique needs. I pride myself on having a strong sense of animal behavior and adjusting care accordingly to each individual pet’s temperament. I have a great deal of experience with senior pets and/or pets with a strict medication regimen. I understand that these animals often need additional patience and compassion and I am always striving to reliably provide such care. This includes administering edible, topical, and injectable medications. I have experience with dogs of all shapes and sizes as well as cats and small animals (birds, fish, reptiles, etc) so you can rest assured that your beloved critters are in good hands! I do my best to be communicative so I am always willing to discuss any additional details or concerns with my clients. My main goal in pet care is to provide reliable and respectful service that keeps your furry friend happy and gives you peace of mind in knowing they are properly cared for while you are away. I hope that I get to meet you and your pets very soon! Pet care is currently my main focus so my weekly schedule is almost always open. I am extremely flexible with scheduling which means I will be available to do reoccurring visits or extended pet sitting if need be. I have my own transportation so I am happy to make visits that are a bit out of my area as well. I have worked in professional pet care for 7+ years which has including both daily dog walking and overnight house-sitting. Being respectful of my client’s pets and their homes is of utmost importance to me. As well as pet sitting I am more than happy to take on other house-sitting responsibilities such as watering plants and bringing in mail/packages. I always appreciate strong communication and always do my best to provide prompt updates while you are away

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since a little kid now I’ve grown to love the fur babies!🦴 I treat them like my own kin every pup is important and never left behind!🐾 Only thing I have to do during the week is school im currently going back to school for a degree however, I will have a lot of free time on my hands for whenever im needed. I have a fenced yard, huge backyard for the pups to play in and have fun as well as toys and more my neighborhood is pretty secure and safe. As far as pups being in my home they will be treated as my own food water the essentials many belly rubs playing around and naps so much more. I currently have a very small pit bull he’s very friendly and he’s just a baby so he’s harmless.

About: I have always owned at least one dog, and could never have a home without a pet. I work from home, so I am extremely flexible with drop-ins and walks. I love all animals, and have 2 young dogs so I can keep up with any energy level :) I am comfortable with all sizes and breeds. I work from home so I can easily arrange my schedule to accommodate visits and walks. I already care for my 3 animals, and love meeting new ones every day! We have a nice fenced in yard where our dogs love to play! They are also home all day, and love to play so your pup will have plenty of company!

About: My purr-found love for cats has only grown over the years. Despite coming from a dog-preferred family—cats are my vibe! Thankfully, fate brought my quirky calico feline, Pia; a cat who magically gets along & plays with other cats & dogs. For nearly 3 years, I’ve worked as a purr-fessional cat sitter—accepting kittens, adult & senior cats ONLY after having a phone conversation with the owner. Essentially you need to pick the right caregiver for your animals, and I understand that I may or not be that for you. I reserve the right to deny service at my discretion, but I am very flexible with time and schedules. Tell me more about your cat(s)'s eating, sleeping, and playing habits to ensure I follow their natural schedule, as much as paw-sible! I aim to minimize any claw-ful feelings in my kitty clients. Thank you for reading & I look forward to hearing from you soon! :) Bachelors of Science 🧬 Certification: Basic Life Support 🩹 ⛑ Reiki Level 2 Practitioner: 🧘🏾 I am able to schedule visits around my claw-ients needs. Upon arrival, I get to business and perform the kitty chores first so that the end of the visit is filled with paw-some fun! At this time I am only cat sitting at my claw-ients house to ensure minimal disruption to the kitties. I give my fur-iends time to warm up to me & approach them on their terms.

“My dog loves her and she is very accommodating with my schedule”
