“Jessica and her sweet family are dog whisperers! Our Aussie mix does not like other dogs but somehow quickly became friends with Jessica’s dog Pepper while at their house. Jessica and her family took great care of both our dogs, treating them like their own for the overnight stay. Jessica also sent lots of great pictures which we appreciated. Highly recommend!!!”
“Gabriela did an amazing job taking care of it did while we were away. She communicated with us on how the dogs were doing and included photos/videos. This isn't the first time the doggies have been over there nor will it be the last!! Thank you so much!”
“They were amazing with our pup! We had a 12 day trip and they took him in no problem. They sent multiple photos and videos every day and he had the best time with their husky and a few other pups. Will definitely be using them for our next trip!”
“Alyssa was a great and quick communicator. She helped with my dog's medications, which were a few of them. It sounded like Klyo had a great time and had a chance to interact with other dogs for a change. Will definitely use again when needed.”
“SUPER, Tiffany and her family treated my dog (Mazie) like family. Especially, thru the hard time of Mazie not knowing where and why she was there. They texted me to keep me informed and we worked thru it together. Mazie, adjusted and finally relaxed and everything was good.”
“Lexie and her family were great with my senior dog. They took amazing care of him, and I received updates and photos daily. When I came to pick Bailey up, he was happy but I think he wanted to stay longer! lol Thank you Lexie for taking such great care of my boy!”
“Joan is a special person that made my old beagle feel right at home. He looked so happy in all the pictures she sent me and I know he will miss playing with his fellow doggie companions. Thank you to Joan and I will definitely check with you if I need to go away again!”
“My husband and I found this app and I must say that we were nervous and hesitant at first to send our pup for a long period of time for the first time ever. Laura was great she allowed us to come by and do a walkthrough to see the area where our pup will be at during his stay and I thought that was really nice of her. Laura sent pictures daily with an update on how our Roscoe was doing and adjusting during his stay and at one point of time I thought Roscoe wouldn’t come back home after seeing how much fun he was having with her 🐶 we definitely appreciate her for looking after our baby 🐶”
“You won't find a better pet sitter than Linda and her husband Brian. They are devoted to their sweet girl Carmi, who plays so well with any dog they bring into their home. I have no worries when I leave Hank, other than she will be booked the next time I need her. 😍♥️”
“Jessica was wonderful. I felt at ease leaving my pup with her and her 2 sweet doggies. She was communicative for drop off and pick up. She sent plenty of pics and videos while I was out of town. I would rebook in the future should a need arise, and I recommend her, especially if you’re nervous leaving your pup as Jessica gives off a calming and kind presence.”
“Jackelyn was excellent. We did a visit prior to his stay. She was so warm and welcoming to both I and Russell. He took to her immediately. She allowed him to run freely in the house. I received pictures and updates daily. Jackelyn actually taught Russell to sit and lye down. We’re back together and he is kind of moping around. I’ve already talked about anther upcoming stay. I believe he’s found his second home. Thank you so much Jackelyn. 💕💕💕🐶🐩🐩”
“Mirian did a great job caring for Kayli while we were away on vacation. Mirian sent a photo most days just to reassure us she was adjusting well, especially considering her vision and hearing issues. Mirian was always quick to respond to any questions we had.”
“Danielle watched my dog for a couple of nights and made the entire process comfortable for me and him, it was my first time leaving my dog without a family member and I was super nervous, she made sure to always communicate, she sent pictures while I was away and even accommodated him when he wouldn’t eat his food, couldn’t have asked for a better sitter as she took care of him like her own! Thank you Danielle!!”
“It was our first time leaving our boy Frank for an over night. Melissa and Jessica were very attentive and sent multiple texts with photos. It was an overall great experience!”

Cat caregivers near you - Sun City
“Linnea was great! We were gone for two weeks and I could always count on her being at our house at a specific time to look after our two cats. She took excellent care of them. I previously used another sitter from this site and when I would come home one of our cats (who is very loving but also extremely high strung) would be all wound up and "hyper". This time when we came home she was calm and relaxed and ready to snuggle. I will definitely be using Linnea again. She has become my number one choice.”
About: I’m a Licensed Practical Nurse with 15 years of experience caring for cats and a true love for these amazing animals. I understand that every cat has their own personality, needs, and routines. I provide patient, loving care with extra attention to safety, comfort, and well-being. My nursing background allows me to confidently handle medications and notice subtle changes, giving you peace of mind while you’re away.
“Tristan took very good care of my kittens while I was away. I booked her last minute and she was still able to make it on time and watch them for me. She is an excellent pet sitter.”
“Lisa took amazing care of our kitty. She sent me some adorable photos that put my kids at ease (they missed her) and she even bought our kitty a toy. Additionally, Lisa accepted this case at the last minute as our previously scheduled sitter had an emergency. This was such a relief and I am really pleased with the whole experience.”
“Rachael took great care of our 2 cats, Nala and Simba, for over a month! We were really happy to receive photos of them adapting to their new temporary home and to see that they were happy and settled. When we collected them again they were very healthy and their coats were really silky and soft, showing that they were completely stress free and happy with their stay. Rachael was always very kind and helpful when we were in contact and knew Nala and Simba well by the time we returned. I can tell that she is a kind carer and would recommend her for your pet sitting needs.”
About: I’ve had cats my entire life and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I’m the reliable go-to for family and friends when they need someone patient and experienced to care for their cats.
“I cannot thank Angelina enough for all her help this weekend. She was communicative, timely, and trustworthy. She followed all of my instructions and I felt confident that my cat was being cared for while I was away.”
“Mckayla did an amazing job watching my cat, Panda! She sent lots of pictures, played with her, and gave clear updates that made me feel at ease while I was on my cruise. Thank you again!”
About: I believe that pets are more than animals, they are also family. My priority is for them to be comfortable, healthy, well taken care of, and happy. I also have experience with giving medications such as oral, ear drops, and eye drops. Although this may sound a little random, I also speak Spanish for those who have pets that only understand that language. If your pet likes to sleep on the bed, I have no problem with that. I tend to enjoy the company anyway. I can house sit any day of the week/weekend. However, I do have another job that I go to: Monday-Friday. Other than that, I’m usually free. Before I go to work or anywhere, I make sure that I either walk my dogs, or at least take them outside the yard so they can do whatever they need to do. I also like to stay with them an hour or two before leaving, just because I like for them to have a little bit of cuddle or fun time. I also like to take them to the dog park to socialize them and for them to have their exercise. I usually try to keep them in a healthy diet but, if I do feed them human food, I always look up information to make sure if it’s healthy or not because, why should they miss out? They loves car rides as well, so I tend to bring them with me wherever they can. They’re my travel buddies. We also sometimes go chill at the beach, and whenever we do that, I always bring a bag of necessities such as toys, plenty of waters, their water bowls, their leash, and doggy bags. I sometimes bring a couple of their favorite treats or stop by a store to get something we can eat.
About: I currently have 5 cats of my own and have had cats since I was a kid. I have experience with new born kittens to my current oldest is 14 years old. Two of my current furbabies were found on the side of the road at 2 and 4 weeks old. I am a healthcare professional and can administer medication if need be.
About: About Me: Your cat deserves more than just a food refill; they deserve a sitter who speaks their language. I am a Jackson Galaxy Certified Cat Behaviorist (since 2016) and a National Animal Control Officer (Level II) with over a decade of professional experience. Why I’m Different: I am the founder of a local non-profit cat rescue dedicated to saving and rehabilitating abandoned felines. My background isn't just in cuddling (though I love that, too!); it is rooted in deep behavioral science and safety. My Expertise Includes: Behavioral Insight: As a certified behaviorist, I understand subtle body language, anxiety triggers, and how to interact with "spicy," shy, or aggressive cats without causing stress. Medical Proficiency: Through my rescue work, I am highly experienced in administering oral medications, subcutaneous fluids, insulin, and managing post-surgical care. Safety & Security: My training as an Animal Control Officer means I am trained to handle emergencies calmly and effectively, ensuring your home and pet remain safe. I have dedicated my life to animal welfare, advocating for those who cannot speak for themselves. When you book with me, you are getting a professional who treats your cat with the same level of expertise and love that I give to the hundreds of rescues I’ve saved.
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life. I have had my own dogs now for 8 years, a lab and a golden. I am comfortable caring for dogs of all ages. I am recently separated from the Air Force, currently in school and staying at home with my two young children. I have a very open and flexible schedule, and my wife stays at home as well. I love spending time with dogs of all breeds and ages. I’ll be sure to keep your pets safe and follow any safety instructions you have.
About: I have taken care of dogs since before I can remember. I have grown up around dogs and a few cats my whole life, and I truly love helping others take care of their furry best friends too! I am going into my freshman year of college locally this Fall 2026 and I would love to be able to work around my class schedule and my schedule with my sales job. I make sure pets have everything they need including their food, water, and whatever else their owners need me to give them. I take dogs outside for either a 10-15 minute walk a few times a day or, if you have a backyard, I’ll play with the dog in the backyard. I give both dogs and cats lots of pets and attention during my time with them and make sure I leave the house clean of anything the pets have done while the owners weren’t home. I make sure all the doors leading into the house are securely locked before leaving and make sure that nothing harmful to the pets is left within their reach.
About: I have always had a love for animals! When I moved to Florida in 2005 is where I started my first job working at a private owned boarding and grooming facility. High school I was in FFA, I did some grooming and rabbit care! I worked at an animal hospital as a tech for two years recently. I enjoy building bonds with animals and giving them the care they deserve and more! Currently I am available Saturdays and Sundays. I am available for dog walks and drop in visits for potty breaks, play time, and/or feeding times! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are my highest priorities. For that reason, all pets are under direct supervision whenever they are in my care, regardless of whether we are in your home or mine. Fresh water is always available, and all meals are supervised to ensure your pet eats safely and comfortably. For walks, I kindly request that dogs wear a properly fitted harness rather than a collar whenever possible. Harnesses provide added safety and better control, helping protect both your pet and me during our outings. To provide the best care possible, please let me know about any behavioral traits or special needs, including: - Temperament and personality - Comfort level with people and other animals - Any fears, anxieties, or triggers - Medical conditions or current medications. For the safety of all pets in my care, I also require that your pet’s rabies vaccination is current. Thank you for trusting me with your furry family member. I look forward to providing them with safe, loving, and attentive care while you’re away.

About: I have had and taken care of pets since I was a teen. I have experience with pets who are on special diets, medicine and or extra special care. I work from home and am home all day long.

I do have caged guinea pigs a cat which is good around large and small dogs and a small chorky (chihuahua/yorky mix) who is fixed and a year old who is also good with other dogs and cats. My pets are up to date on shots. I work from home. I am here all day and other than an occasional trip to the grocery store I’m always home. Pets will be taken out, fed or provided all day attention. I have a 4 bedroom house with a fenced in back yard (not huge but fenced in). I have a dark park across from my house with 24:7 access. I live in a gated pet friendly community. My house has dog toys and safe from anything they can chew up (providing they are in a chewing stage).
“Diana took very good care of my puppy and even provided me picture updates and recommendations for care. I appreciate her acceptance of sitting on short notice. Will continue to book daycares with Diana! ?”
“Marshall had a great time with Tressa and her family. He played with the dogs there and was comfortable enough to make himself right at home! We got several pics of his antics throughout the day. Tressa was flexible and professional. We will definitely be using her again!”
About: I have raised or taken care of animals including dogs, cats, rabbits, gerbils, sheep, cows, chickens, etc. You name it, if it was on a farm, I've helped to take care of it since I was a wee lass. I have a special place in my heart for senior kitties and doggos. We had a dog with Addison's Disease, so I am well versed in administering medicine orally, as well as subcutaneously. Our bearded dragon recently passed away, but she lived 9 years, which is decent in bearded dragon life! I do enjoy beardies and reptiles in general. I'm a stay-at-home-mom (prior teacher, but we have a bunch of little kids), and I'm always in town running errands and doing school drop-offs. I'm looking for exercise, and I love animals, so it seems like a beautiful fit. I started off with house sitting on my profile, but I took it off because I cannot to commit to sitting with them all day long because it takes a lot from my family. I can, however, spend hours with them at a time, and spend the night, but can't stay the whole time. Feel free to send me a message about house-sitting if that's what you need, and we can discuss. I know not to overfeed an animal; understand that exercise keeps them out of trouble; can easily crate your dog, and keep everyone fed, watered, and loved while you're away. I take pride in the fact that I am a quality person with high morals. I am too old for any hoodrat ish, and if you leave a vacuum and/or cleaning supplies out for me, I will use them for you. I am here for people and families, but I do prefer animals LOL
“My wife and I were extremely happy with Tamara. At first we were a bit nervous leaving our dog with someone other than family that he knew but Tamara made us feel very comfortable. She updated us throughout the day and treated our boy as if he was part of her family and we couldn’t have been happier. Definitely recommend using her and we will for sure be using her services again!!”
“Joan was absolutely wonderful with our dog during daycare! She provided frequent updates throughout the day, including photos and messages, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. Communication was excellent from start to finish, very responsive, positive, and clearly experienced with dogs. Our pup came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. It was obvious Joan created a safe, comfortable, and welcoming environment in her home. We really appreciated the attention, affection, and care she gave throughout the day. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable and caring doggy daycare!”

About: Hi there, I'm JM! New to the Indy area and looking to give your pets the best care possible. I currently have two dogs and have had them for 10 years. Even though they are seniors, we stay very active with daily walks and trips to the dog park. My love for pets started at an early age when I adopted a cat at the age of seven. That started my lifelong love of pets. Since then I've raised two other dogs and cared for numerous pets. Friends often call on me to watch their dogs when they go out of town or take their dogs out for much needed outdoor time (whether that's smelling all the scents or just getting some exercise)! I have experience training dogs - I've trained three dogs including my current two. I work from home so I'm home most of the day. I also take classes, so I'm away from home 2-3 hrs M-Th. Classes vary I have a fenced backyard and there's a dog park in walking distance. Dogs will have free range to go outside when needed. I take my dogs out daily for walks and will offer the same service for dogs in my care. Dogs will have a separate feeding area and I have an extra room if pets are overwhelmed to relax. We have tons of toys and puzzles if your pets likes to stay busy.

“We’ve had an excellent experience with Tristin as Bigby’s dog walker. She is punctual, responsible, and truly caring with him. She follows every instruction with such attention to detail and always keeps us updated after each visit, which means so much to us. Her kindness, professionalism, and the way she treats Bigby with genuine care make her an easy choice for anyone looking for trustworthy, high-quality pet care.”

About: My extensive professional training in animal handling and behavior sets me apart. While many sitters enjoy pets as a hobby, I have dedicated my career to their welfare. I am a National Animal Control Officer (Level II), which provides me with advanced training in safe animal handling for both dogs and cats, as well as emergency response protocols. My Special Skills Include: Certified Behavioral Knowledge: I hold a certification from Jackson Galaxy (since 2016), allowing me to manage anxiety and behavioral issues with a fear-free approach. Senior & Medical Care: Through my non-profit rescue work, I am highly skilled in caring for senior animals, including administering varied medications (injections, fluids, pills) and managing mobility issues. Trust & Reliability: I run a professional organization, so you can expect the highest level of communication, punctuality, and attention to detail.

About: Hello! My name is Sasha, I’m a 25 year old zookeeper living with my family in Ruskin. I have experience with all kinds of species including birds, dogs, cats, primates, hoofstock, and reptiles. I’ve loved working in the animal field for the last 5 years at ranches, shelters, zoos, sanctuaries, and doggie daycares. I have experience giving oral and topical medication, vaccines, and more. My various jobs have given me lots of experience creating various types of enrichment as well. If you need help curbing your animals’ boredom during the summer, I’m your girl! My end goal is to open a sanctuary for wild cats, hyenas, and bears (so if you have big dogs, I will immediately be accepting 😂). I’m excited to love and care for your animals, and I promise your fur babies will be in the best, most loving hands possible! I work 4 days a week for 10 hours each day and my schedule is relatively predictable, so I can be as flexible as possible! My home will be unavailable as it is my family’s house and I’d rather not intrude on them like that, but caring for animals in their original home helps reduce anxiety for the pets and makes it easier for me to gain their trust anyway so I hope this isn’t an issue!
About: I have taken care of dogs since before I can remember. I have grown up around dogs and a few cats my whole life, and I truly love helping others take care of their furry best friends too! I am going into my freshman year of college locally this Fall 2026 and I would love to be able to work around my class schedule and my schedule with my sales job. I make sure pets have everything they need including their food, water, and whatever else their owners need me to give them. I take dogs outside for either a 10-15 minute walk a few times a day or, if you have a backyard, I’ll play with the dog in the backyard. I give both dogs and cats lots of pets and attention during my time with them and make sure I leave the house clean of anything the pets have done while the owners weren’t home. I make sure all the doors leading into the house are securely locked before leaving and make sure that nothing harmful to the pets is left within their reach.
About: Busy work schedule? Pets alone during the day? Let me help! Caring and responsible dog lover/owner with 10 years of experience. I have taken care of many breeds and sizes. Responsibilities have included; walking, bathing, feeding, and general routine care. Available weekdays 8 A.M.-6 P.M. serving the Apollo beach area. Rates can be negotiated based on distance traveled and services requested. Your pets will be well taken care of when I watch them. My schedule is pretty flexible right now, I can also be available anytime you need, I will be around at all times of the day. I will make sure your pet has everything they need and make sure they are comfortable in your home and comfortable with me as well.
About: I believe that pets are more than animals, they are also family. My priority is for them to be comfortable, healthy, well taken care of, and happy. I also have experience with giving medications such as oral, ear drops, and eye drops. Although this may sound a little random, I also speak Spanish for those who have pets that only understand that language. If your pet likes to sleep on the bed, I have no problem with that. I tend to enjoy the company anyway. I can house sit any day of the week/weekend. However, I do have another job that I go to: Monday-Friday. Other than that, I’m usually free. Before I go to work or anywhere, I make sure that I either walk my dogs, or at least take them outside the yard so they can do whatever they need to do. I also like to stay with them an hour or two before leaving, just because I like for them to have a little bit of cuddle or fun time. I also like to take them to the dog park to socialize them and for them to have their exercise. I usually try to keep them in a healthy diet but, if I do feed them human food, I always look up information to make sure if it’s healthy or not because, why should they miss out? They loves car rides as well, so I tend to bring them with me wherever they can. They’re my travel buddies. We also sometimes go chill at the beach, and whenever we do that, I always bring a bag of necessities such as toys, plenty of waters, their water bowls, their leash, and doggy bags. I sometimes bring a couple of their favorite treats or stop by a store to get something we can eat.
“Amanda and her husband were amazing!!! I was very nervous about Rover and having people that I didn't know come into my home, however, everything went very smoothly. I would highly recommend her and will be using them again in the near future.”
About: I have always had a love for animals! When I moved to Florida in 2005 is where I started my first job working at a private owned boarding and grooming facility. High school I was in FFA, I did some grooming and rabbit care! I worked at an animal hospital as a tech for two years recently. I enjoy building bonds with animals and giving them the care they deserve and more! Currently I am available Saturdays and Sundays. I am available for dog walks and drop in visits for potty breaks, play time, and/or feeding times! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are my highest priorities. For that reason, all pets are under direct supervision whenever they are in my care, regardless of whether we are in your home or mine. Fresh water is always available, and all meals are supervised to ensure your pet eats safely and comfortably. For walks, I kindly request that dogs wear a properly fitted harness rather than a collar whenever possible. Harnesses provide added safety and better control, helping protect both your pet and me during our outings. To provide the best care possible, please let me know about any behavioral traits or special needs, including: - Temperament and personality - Comfort level with people and other animals - Any fears, anxieties, or triggers - Medical conditions or current medications. For the safety of all pets in my care, I also require that your pet’s rabies vaccination is current. Thank you for trusting me with your furry family member. I look forward to providing them with safe, loving, and attentive care while you’re away.

“Nicholas and his family took great care of Suzy! They sent frequent updates and pictures and gave us peace of mind she was safe and happy while we were away. Will definitely recommend and book again!”
“Jessica and her sweet family are dog whisperers! Our Aussie mix does not like other dogs but somehow quickly became friends with Jessica’s dog Pepper while at their house. Jessica and her family took great care of both our dogs, treating them like their own for the overnight stay. Jessica also sent lots of great pictures which we appreciated. Highly recommend!!!”
“They were amazing with our pup! We had a 12 day trip and they took him in no problem. They sent multiple photos and videos every day and he had the best time with their husky and a few other pups. Will definitely be using them for our next trip!”
“Alyssa was a great and quick communicator. She helped with my dog's medications, which were a few of them. It sounded like Klyo had a great time and had a chance to interact with other dogs for a change. Will definitely use again when needed.”
“SUPER, Tiffany and her family treated my dog (Mazie) like family. Especially, thru the hard time of Mazie not knowing where and why she was there. They texted me to keep me informed and we worked thru it together. Mazie, adjusted and finally relaxed and everything was good.”
“Lexie and her family were great with my senior dog. They took amazing care of him, and I received updates and photos daily. When I came to pick Bailey up, he was happy but I think he wanted to stay longer! lol Thank you Lexie for taking such great care of my boy!”
“Joan is a special person that made my old beagle feel right at home. He looked so happy in all the pictures she sent me and I know he will miss playing with his fellow doggie companions. Thank you to Joan and I will definitely check with you if I need to go away again!”
“My husband and I found this app and I must say that we were nervous and hesitant at first to send our pup for a long period of time for the first time ever. Laura was great she allowed us to come by and do a walkthrough to see the area where our pup will be at during his stay and I thought that was really nice of her. Laura sent pictures daily with an update on how our Roscoe was doing and adjusting during his stay and at one point of time I thought Roscoe wouldn’t come back home after seeing how much fun he was having with her 🐶 we definitely appreciate her for looking after our baby 🐶”
“Jessica was wonderful. I felt at ease leaving my pup with her and her 2 sweet doggies. She was communicative for drop off and pick up. She sent plenty of pics and videos while I was out of town. I would rebook in the future should a need arise, and I recommend her, especially if you’re nervous leaving your pup as Jessica gives off a calming and kind presence.”
“Jackelyn was excellent. We did a visit prior to his stay. She was so warm and welcoming to both I and Russell. He took to her immediately. She allowed him to run freely in the house. I received pictures and updates daily. Jackelyn actually taught Russell to sit and lye down. We’re back together and he is kind of moping around. I’ve already talked about anther upcoming stay. I believe he’s found his second home. Thank you so much Jackelyn. 💕💕💕🐶🐩🐩”

“Carla treated Milo like he was one of her own.. Milo is a 60lbs 1.5 year old and still quite puppy minded so the energy was there. He had particular needs which Carla handled with no hesitation. The care and love she gave Milo was quite noticable when we picked him up.. So relaxed and happy! Milo is missing Carla, Charlie (carl's french bull dog) and her family right now thats for sure! I will be asking her again to care for Milo without hesitation! I highly recommend Carla! Thank you!!”
“Our dog Margaux had the best time staying with Autumn and their dog Baylor. Autumn was a very thorough caretaker and sent us lots of pictures and videos while we were away. She gave us plenty of updates and our dog looked sad to leave them when we picked her up! We will definitely be contacting Autumn again for our future Rover needs.”
“Our dog absolutely loves going to Bibianas! She even gets excited when we mention her name. Bibiana always provides picture and video updates daily to let us know how things are going. Thank you again for taking such great care of our dog!”
