“Lyndsey was fantastic! She took great care of my girl and kept me updated every day on how she was doing. She kept her active and I could tell she was well loved during her stay. I don't think my dog wanted to come home after all the fun she had with Lyndsey! I would highly recommend her and hope she is available for any of my future trips!”
“Allison & Nicholas are the best!!! They took such good care of my Deso. He couldn't have been in better care. They sent me pictures and kept me updated. Would recommend if you need a good sitter. Will definitely be using in the future as long as I am Ft Wayne. Thanks again.”
“Alexander & Jaycee were absolutely incredible and took phenomenal care of my dog. They have a lovely home and perfect yard for exactly what my dog needs / is used to. And my dog actually became friends with their dogs (shout out to Stormy)! I would highly encourage anyone looking to let them take care of your pup! I’ll certainly be a repeat customer 😊.”
“We loved boarding our Everitt with Cory. He was very in tune and experienced with dogs and how they act and was understanding of our young dog’s behavior. When we picked her up we could tell she was well cared for and happy with her stay. We would use him again and would recommend him to anybody that is looking for somebody”
“We loved the care Azure gave to our 2 German Shorthairs! The text updates and pictures we got throughout our vacation were so appreciated! We would highly recommend her services!”
“Alexis is very professional and kind. Her communication is great. She puts in great effort to ensure safety, well being and happiness of animals. You can tell this is her passion. Felt very comfortable leaving my animal there and will rebook when needed.”
“My pup slept all night after I got her back so I know she had fun playing with the other pups. Good contact during the stay with photos. Happy with my visit and last minute availability.”
“Mindi's gentle spirit was a perfect fit for Ozzy. He was very happy when picked up and seemed to enjoy his walks and time with Mindi. She kept in touch by sending pictures of Ozzy and asked questions about how best to care for him. I will gladly reach out to Mindi again the next time we need someone to watch Ozzy.”

“We are extremely happy with Natalie. She did very well with our puppy all while fostering for the shelter. She is very responsive and sent plenty of pictures. I didn't tell her but when got her home she slept the whole afternoon. She was suckered ou t from her time with myra.”
“Koopa is ver comfortable in their home. He walks in and walks directly to the back door to enjoy the fenced in backyard. Nan and her family administer his medication and take great care of him!”
“Wonderful and attentive care givers for my senior dog. I received daily updates, they were perfect! We were afraid she wouldn’t want to come home, she received so much love and attention!”
“Hannah and Haley did a great job with my baby! A perfect fit for Jamie's separation anxiety, since he was never home alone, and he came home a very tired baby after playing with Hannah's dogs all weekend. He didn't seem to want to leave!”
“We were so lucky to have connected with such a great family at the last minute when our original sitter fell through. They helped him get warmed up with a meet and greet and then our 3 month old pup was excited to go back the next day to stay. He found his home away from for a week and was sad leaving his new friends. Diana and her family took great care of our boy while we were on vacation, helped house train him, and taught him a few commands. It was nice having peace of mind that he was in good hands and getting updates and pictures while we were missing our fur baby. 10/10 HIGHLY recommend!”
“Absolutely loved her!!!! She was so welcoming with my dog! She would keep me updated on my dog! And she just so nice, she also took my dog to her moms house for thanksgiving so my dog wouldn’t be alone which I thought was really nice and thoughtful! Definitely recommend!! You’ll want her to babysit your dog!!”
“Jett’s home away from home! We love being able to drop Jett off and know he’ll be well taken care of! We really enjoy all the pictures, videos and updates each day!”

“First time using the Rover service and our first time away from our pet for such a long duration. Franki was an excellent communicator, went above and beyond spending her time with our dog in his own home so he would be comfortable, and we're so thankful for her! Great experience and our new go-to option if we need to travel!”
“Alexis was incredible! This is my second time using her & I was more than happy!! She is incredible with my babies & I am already using her for another visit this weekend!”
“Amazing! I have a disability that makes keeping up with my litter boxes. Charity has come over almost every week for a year and a half. She is flexible with scheduling if something comes up, she is efficient and thorough, she is very personable, and even my grumpiest cat has come around to her. 10/10 would recommend!”
“Bree was AMAZING with our three cats! This was our first vacation since getting our newest kitty, who is a little shy and apprehensive of people, but he warmed up to her very quickly! She took amazing photos every day and left us great details on each visit. I'm so happy she watched our kitties, I never felt anxious about leaving them!”

Highly recommend Alexis to anyone looking for someone reliable and amazing with dogs!”

We talked them through before his first visit, and she was willing to learn the best practices to set him up for success. We plan to use her services again soon!”

I live in a clean, smoke free home with plenty of room for your furr baby to stretch their paws and have a good time. If they enjoy the outdoors im just a 10 minute walk to The Pufferbelly Trail. I will provide regular updates and focus on creating a safe, fun environment for every dog, ensuring they get tailored attention and enrichment. I'm excited to meet you and your furry friend!

About: For the past 9 years, I have been a dedicated dog owner, providing a loving home filled with care, affection, and attention. My experience includes participating in a variety of dog training classes, such as obedience, agility, and dock diving. Through these experiences, I’ve learned that every dog has a unique personality and responds differently to people, requiring patience, understanding, and tailored care. Currently available anytime after 5:30pm Monday through Friday… and every weekend. I will keep my schedule as up to date as possible so you never fall without care. Security is top of mind for your home and mine. Making sure they know wherever they are is a safe space for playing and fun.

“Nancy (& her husband) were abundantly caring and great with my Australian Shepard! I highly recommend letting them care for your dog for any duration. Updates were provided multiple times daily. Every activity was shared all with detail. Thank you!”
“She was a lifesaver on a short notice Friday/Saturday when I had to go out of town for events with my son. I was so worried about Nova being a puppy and so full of energy and in a strange home overnight on the first boarding. Samanta messaged me updates and photos and made me feel much better!! Definitely will call her in the future if I need to.”
“Alexis is absolutely amazing in every way, upon first meeting her I could tell how kind hearted she was making it calm my mind of any worries that one may have leaving their fur babies with a stranger. Since Max has been going to Alexis he absolutely loves it, he had friends to play with and she makes sure they get plenty of play time and sends me updates throughout the day. At first Max would try to leave when I left after dropping him off, now he doesn't care about me when I drop him off. When I come to pick him up he is excited to see me but doesn't want to leave his friends. So I must say thank you Alexis for taking such good care of Max and giving him the love and care that I would while I'm at work I truly appreciate you and all that you do.”
“We are so thankful Agnatha was able to watch our baby, Jett! She was so nice, friendly and very welcoming to Jett. We loved getting pictures & knowing our baby was in safe hands. If we are ever back in town we’ll be using Agnatha again! Highly recommend her!! ❤️”
“Donut was well taken care of by Millie! I had to be at work last minute and Millie was able to watch him for the entire day and into the evening. I loved how Millie would send photos and updates throughout the day. I would definitely book with Millie again!”

“Deanna has skills. When our reactive rescue got out of the car, Deanna kept her hands relaxed and at her sides. She continued to talk with us and did not look at our girl. This is exactly how to meet an anxious dog! And our Portia responded by walking right up to Deanna and sniffing her. Portia walked with Rick this walkie. But Portia did walk between Deanna and him. She would normally be as far from anyone not us, as she could get! Most excellent! Our Mr. Baloo has never met a stranger and he was happy to make her acquaintance! We have already rebooked! Thanks Deanna!”

I also have a built-in dog bathtub that I can used to give your dog a nice bath (for an added fee) before they return home upon request. When I visit a home- I follow given instructions and keep the area clean. My goal is for you to not even notice I was there. When I visit to walk your pet-I follow instructions and keep the area clean. I remain aware and not distracted. This ensures your pet remains safe and engaged during the walk. If your dog is more fearful-I try to make the walk as stress-free as possible.

Growing up with pets taught me how to understand their needs, respect their boundaries, and provide the love and attention they deserve. I'm kind, compassionate, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, whether it's a long walk, a play session, or just quiet companionship. You can count on me to treat your pets like my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away. I’m currently working full-time Tuesday-Friday 8a-6p so, unfortunately, I don’t have availability throughout the weekdays.

Just send me a message and we can figure it out. I’m also flexible with dog size and breed, but probably will decline sitting large breeds if we cannot do a meet and greet or they are not trained. I have sat for many senior pets, puppies, kittens and multiple animals at once. I prefer to sit for small-medium breeds, but will sit for large breeds if there’s only one and they are not difficult to walk. I bring over 30 years of experience in house/pet sitting. I have bonded with so many sweet pets (of all ages, sizes and breeds (please see my 5 star reviews under my photos). I have a flexible schedule and reliable transportation, therefore I have no trouble driving up to 16 hours to do a house sit, depending on where I am at the moment. I have extensive experience with gardening, plant care, and yard maintenance. I worked as a florist for 10 years and have always had a garden and eclectic selection of plants of my own. Finally, I love photography and will most likely send you lots of cute photos of your pets. I work remotely five days a week and am able to be around your pets throughout the day to ensure they have the love and attention that they need. I will care for your pet in your home and can stay up to 1-3 months if I’m traveling.

Please see my reviews from my pet sitting experience via TrustedHousesitters.

About: I'm a stay at home momma with two kids and two fur babies. One is an older chihuahua and the other is a tamaskan (similar to a husky) puppy. Both are loving and playful. I've owned dogs my whole life and have watched over them for 20+ years. I understand each dog is different with their own special needs. I absolutely love and adore all animals and look forward to taking care of yours! Since I'm a stay at home momma I am able to be flexible with your needs. Any other questions feel free to reach out to me! :).
About: I’ve recently moved to Auburn from Hamilton Lake. I had several dog walking clients and I would love to continue here in Aunburn! I am a true animal lover! I’m a stay at home dog and cat mom. I do pottery in my home but I always welcome a fun dog walk! I’m also available for overnight pet sitting and litter box cleaning. I have six dogs and I will treat your babies as if they are mine. I provide walks but they will also receive plenty of hugs and lots of atta boy/girls!
About: I’ve taken care of and been around dogs my entire life. I have dog sat for numerous people with one dog or more. I love animals just like babies. They all deserve all the love and attention possible. 💗 I currently work full-time with a flexible schedule and have the ability to work from home when necessary. I come home through my work days periodically to check on my own fur babes. I am a moderately active person. My dogs and I love to play outside, with their favorite toys and going on walks. My dogs are my four legged children, and I will be sure to treat yours as my own in my care. We have a doggy door with a four foot privacy fence for the babes to go in and out whenever they please. I am more than happy to crate your dog if you need and make sure they are fed specific foods if needed as well.
About: I grew up as the neighborhood pet sitter. My friends always ask me to watch their dogs when they are out of town, and I thoroughly enjoy spending time with my furry friends! I have had experience watching multiple pets at a time, which included feeding, walking, giving medication, and overnight care. I work three days a week and I am a full time online student. In other words, I like to stay busy! On my days off I am free all day. On my working days I am avaliable after 5pm. Weekends are flexible, so I am very willing to open up Saturdays and Sundays as necessary. I do not take pets into my own home simply because I do not have the space for them, and I live with roomates. But I am more than willing to dogsit at my clients homes if need be.

“Lyndsey was fantastic! She took great care of my girl and kept me updated every day on how she was doing. She kept her active and I could tell she was well loved during her stay. I don't think my dog wanted to come home after all the fun she had with Lyndsey! I would highly recommend her and hope she is available for any of my future trips!”
“Allison & Nicholas are the best!!! They took such good care of my Deso. He couldn't have been in better care. They sent me pictures and kept me updated. Would recommend if you need a good sitter. Will definitely be using in the future as long as I am Ft Wayne. Thanks again.”
“Alexander & Jaycee were absolutely incredible and took phenomenal care of my dog. They have a lovely home and perfect yard for exactly what my dog needs / is used to. And my dog actually became friends with their dogs (shout out to Stormy)! I would highly encourage anyone looking to let them take care of your pup! I’ll certainly be a repeat customer 😊.”
“We loved boarding our Everitt with Cory. He was very in tune and experienced with dogs and how they act and was understanding of our young dog’s behavior. When we picked her up we could tell she was well cared for and happy with her stay. We would use him again and would recommend him to anybody that is looking for somebody”

About: We provide residential boarding in both our house and finished barn depending on availability and needs. You can schedule a tour. Drop off and pick up time as early as 7am and 11pm. Playtime in the yard is included. You can pay extra for a daily walk. Charged a flat rate per night. Updates available during stay. All dogs are welcome small, big, young, old, friendly, and we are also capable of caring for aggressive dogs.

Care is discussed in detailed and documented. Updates are sent as requested. Dogs in the house must be able to be crated, otherwise the large indoor/outdoor runs in the barn are a better option.
