“Kelsi is wonderful! She took great care of my dog Hank and sent me updates while he was with her. I love having the piece of mind that Hank is in good hands when I’m not with him.”
“Cinthia did an amazing job caring for my cats! she immediately communicated with me about how they were adjusting, sent photos, and was very friendly and easygoing when I reached out on short notice. My cats loved her and her kids!”
“Fantastic! She took great in-home care of our high energy pups who usually struggle with separation anxiety - they did not! They were happy and well adjusted when we returned. She even replaced their treats - above and beyond. Thank you!”
“Lanae was wonderful to our pup. She was willing to take him last minute, which saved us from missing our vacation. She took the time to update us regularly, and responded to any question I had promptly. She gave him all the love and attention he requires and I’m very grateful for that. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.”
“Taylor took great care of our 7 year old Aussie. He got comfort and exercise. Taylor is a true dog lover. Unfortunately she is an hour away from us BUT worth it and close to the Indiana lake that we visit.”
“Very friendly and accommodating. Clean house and taken care of. She was able to accommodate an extra night due to travel issues. 10/10 would recommend and book again. Sent daily pictures and videos as well.”
“Ashley and her son are great fur-baby sitters. I am completely comfortable leaving my Molly in their hands. They treat her as family and communicate with pictures to assure me she is just fine. Ashley and her son will always be my first pick!”
“Abigail was loving and attentive to my Hercules. She sent pictures and updates at least once each day. She is very easy to talk to and made sure Hercules ate on time and received plenty of exercise. I appreciate Abigail's flexibility and responsiveness. I will definitely be hiring her again and I know Hercules is looking forward to his next stay!”
“I reached out to Raegan with a last minute request, and after a super prompt reply, and her asking all the right questions, we worked out a two-night stay for my dog at her place. She was easy to reach, kept me up to date on how things were going and sent pictures of my dog getting along splendidly with hers. She was flexible with our pick up time (because traffic is always a crapshoot) and Poppy looked happy when we got her. We will definitely keep Raegan on our list of great sitters!”
“Heather and her family were absolutely amazing with my little pup! I feel so much more confident, leaving him with Heather. He had the best time playing with her two dogs. He will absolutely be staying with Heather and her family again!”
“Edna was AMAZING! I have 2 senior doxies and 1 has very bad eye sight. She took her time with them especially my doxie with the bad eye sight who moves slow. I recommend her to anyone and will rebook with her again. She was also nice to provide pictures and updates while they were staying with her. That was nice.”

However, the yard is not fenced. I have 3 litter boxes in my home that are scooped daily as well as provide privacy. I have 3 cats who are all friendly with each other and love to play. Their ages are 4 years, and 2 of them are 7 months. All my pets are neutered and spayed. I also have a rabbit who loves to play with the cats as well. However, if you are uncomfortable with this idea he is also always willing to chill in his cage.

I am mostly around late afternoons and on the weekends. As a fitness person, taking dogs when owner likes dogs to exercise is my favorite time with the pet. I keep the space open for the pets and also have toys for them to keep active and entertained. I also play with them often so they are well cared for.

To becoming a certified professional trainer and owning a successful cage free boarding facility in southern IN. Visit Sycamore Dog Estate on Instagram or Facebook for previous experience.

“I was looking for a last minute drop in visit sitter and Victoria accepted. She sent pictures to keep me updated and was good at communication. Rocco loved her and will definitely go with Victoria in the future!”
“Kelsi was wonderful and took excellent care of our cat! We needed a last minute Rover because our cat needed an unexpected surgery right before the holidays. Kelsi was a life saver and we would absolutely recommend her.”
“Maddie was spectacular! Able to help on short notice, flexible and was very thorough and followed every detail to the letter. I'm pretty easygoing, but I honestly believe Maddie could work for anyone - high needs pets would absolutely be safe in her hands. She was communicative and I never once worried about my cats in her care.”
“Carolyn was absolutely amazing with Sissy! She took the time to make sure Sissy was well cared for, making sure she was fed, let out for potty breaks, and given plenty of outdoor time to play and explore. I really appreciated how patient and attentive she was, ensuring Sissy had every opportunity to go potty and get the exercise and attention she needed. Carolyn was also very communicative throughout the entire process, which gave me great peace of mind. She was able to accommodate us on short notice, and her flexibility and reliability were truly appreciated. I could tell she genuinely cared about Sissy's well-being and happiness. I would highly recommend Carolyn to anyone looking for a dependable, caring, and attentive pet sitter. Thank you for taking such great care of Sissy!”
“We can't say enough wonderful things about Bree! She took care of our two cats, Coco and Buddy, with so much love and attention—it truly felt like she was treating them as her own. From the moment we met her, we knew our fur babies were in great hands. Bree went above and beyond in every way. She didn’t just make sure they were fed and comfortable— but kept them happy, and even managed to groom Coco better than we ever have (and that’s saying something!). Coco looked like she stepped out of a cat salon when we got home! We came home to two very content, well-loved cats—and a clean, organized space, which was such a bonus. If you're looking for a trustworthy, kind, and truly exceptional pet sitter, Bree is it. We feel so lucky to have found her.”
“Abbigail was great! She kept me updated during each visit, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I would absolutely trust Abbigail again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring pet sitter!”
“Natalie did phenomenal! I had no worries being out of town because I knew my fur babies were well taken care of. Definitely going to rebook with her the next time I have to go out of town 😊”
“Amara is so sweet and caring towards the pets! She even spent extra time with our pets, fully without us asking! She even tidied up our space a bit and left the cats a goodbye present. She’s absolutely wonderful and a good choice for all your pet needs!”

About: I’ve had a cat since I was 11 years old and I’ve had more than one at a time since then. The shelter that I used to worked at had over 100 cats that I cared for with the help of others. I currently have four and I treat them all with love and care. They’re all my babies and I will treat your babies with the same.
About: I've had animals since I was 4. Been caring for other people's animals almost as long. I would walk my neighbor's dogs any time they would allow it. I also have a background in veterinary care and am used to administering medications as well as injections to dogs and cats. I have 3 cats and a dog, so I have my small menagerie that I take care of daily. But that won't stop me from taking care of your critters too! I have a partner at home that will take care of my own animals if I need to stay over to care for beloved furry family members. So no need to worry if your fluffy friends need round-the-clock care, I can do it! I have a large yard with lots of space for my dog to run, he knows not to go to the front of the house and stays close to me when we're outside and there are lots of parks nearby to go on walks. We have lots of high places for our cats to climb and perch.
“I booked a 15 day drop in for my three pets. He was great with all of them and even cared for the living room when my pets made a mess while I am gone. I would definitely recommend booking him for your pet sitting needs. He cared for the pets perfectly even when there was slow communication due to time difference being on a trip overseas. I never had to worry even when there was a time difference since he always updated with communication even when I couldn’t reply right away. I will definitely book him again if possible when I go on my next trip.”

“Kelsi and her family took really good care of my Axel. We took time to make sure her and her dog were comfortable with my dog. From the pictures I received, Axel made himself at home rather quickly. I really appreciate that! I would recommend Kelsi’s services and I plan to use her again 😊.”
About: I have loved dogs since I was old enough to say the word itself. I’ve had and been around dogs since I was born. I love being around dogs of all ages. I am very reliable as I take care of family and friends dogs as well as my own daily. I can’t wait to meet all the fur babies!!! I currently work a part-time job Wednesday- Friday and every other Saturday. I am available Friday and Saturday’s after 4. But, most Saturdays, every Sunday, Monday and Tuesday I am available. I have a fenced in backyard with lots of room to run and a kiddy pool for the warm weather. I have 2 fur babies to keep your fur babies busy. I can easily crate my pups or yours if needed!! I am also right next to a park so I have easy access for walks!
“Ashley and her son were wonderful with my dog, Jordi. She was able tk dogsit for me while I went to a family gathering. She sent me multiple photo updates and Jordi left with her tail wagging. I would 100% recommend them for your pup.”
About: I love all dogs and cats!!! I’m also a volunteer foster for Fulton County Animal Center. I have volunteered for over 6 years. Animals just bring so much happiness to your life. I’m a mom of 5 and 1 fur baby. I work part time so this is a great opportunity to make extra money while doing what I already love to do. I will make sure that the fur babes are supervised at all times just like I would with any of our own or foster babies.
“Kayla was excellent and extremely flexible at coming an extra visit at late notice during the holidays. She took great care of our older English Bulldog and cat and we felt very comfortable and at ease while we were traveling for the holidays as she was great at sending us updates and some nice photos. Very responsive and followed all the nuanced needs of our aging bulldog. Highly recommend Kayla, would love to use again!”
About: I grew up with an Australian Shepherd Blue Heeler mix and loved teaching him new tricks, going for walks, and playing enriching games that helped get his energy out. My parents added a Chiweenie to the family a couple years ago, so now when I visit, I love to walk them both! I often dog/house sit for my parents; being in their home environment seems to be most comfortable for them. Aside from dogs, I graduated from IU Bloomington in 2021, and have switched careers to work for a local school system. I am looking for something fun, active, and outdoors for the summer - what better activity than dog walking?! I cannot wait to connect and meet your furry family! I have the summer off to help care for your pups! My current schedule is open and flexible - I can be available almost any time with some notice. 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 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.
“Raegan did a great job caring for our Maltipoo, Chrissy. She sent us photos of our pet and she is easy to communicate with. She has this bright, cheerful attitude and seem to be a genuinely caring person. Highly recommended and we will have her as Chrissy's pet sitter again for sure.”

“Janet was great. She came out the day before for a meet and greet so that the dog would be familiar with her, which I really appreciated. Everything worked out as planned.
