Personalized care for your dog or cat - Avoca
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Avoca
“We are so grateful for the care Matthew and Ellie gave to our dog Marla. This was our first time using Rover and we were very nervous. Matthew and Ellie let us come to their home to see everything and how more the would feel at their place. They are very open and respectful. Marla had a wonderful time they provided daily pictures. They were very responsive to any messages. They were in constant communication with us and were also very flexible when we needed to extend marvelous care. We are very pleased with how everything went and will definitely be using them again in the future. I especially appreciated how they seemed to not just see this as a job, but actually enjoyed having Marla as part of their family.”
“Zoë is very sweet & knowledgeable when it comes to doggies! She took such great care of my little golden and kept me informed throughout the day each day on how she was doing with messages and photos. I would highly recommend Zoë for any/all of your doggie needs! :)”
“Winston Acres is the best. Tawny has been our go-to for dog boarding for quite awhile, and I can say that I highly recommend her and especially her awesome property for dog boarding. Our girl Piper always comes home clean and tired! Thanks Tawny!”
“Amazing!!! I was so worried about leaving my kitten with someone else for the first time but I am so glad I did it with Katie. She even asked if I would like her to cut my cat’s nails for me and did a great job! Would recommend”
“Mary Jane was wonderful with our dog, Cooper! We had to book last minute, but she made the time to meet up with us to meet Cooper and get familiar with him before he stayed the weekend with her. She kept us updated with pictures all weekend long and he seemed happy when we picked him up. She even bought him a new toy when they couldn't find his old one lol. She's a very sweet person and will be the first person we contact when we need another overnight sitter for our pup!”
“Kelly's service is always our go-to when we need to board our dog. She loves it there, big open space with other friendly dogs. She always comes back well taken care of, looking clean (for a dog who just had a blast on vacation!!) and so so happy. We appreciate Kelly's flexibility and willingness to work with us on drop off/pick up, and she sends us regular updates on our dog's stay which help put our mind at ease. I know when we book with Kelly our dog will be well taken care of!”
“This family is amazing! We left for a week shortly after rescuing our new dog. I was worried how he would transition being placed somewhere for a week after just settling in a new home. All my worries faded away after the meet and greet. My pup acted right at home with their entire family. He even learned to play and socialized with their sweet dog. I received constant communication and so many sweet pics and videos of him playing, napping, cuddling, being loved on, etc. Nikole and her family will always be my go to for puppy care when away. I’m a customer for life! Thanks for everything!”
“Mason has been such a great sitter! He first started with boarding my pup at his home and then has helped with drop in. He is very communicative and flexible. I absolutely recommend using him!”
“Kelsie was very nice and updated me with photos and updates to make sure my puppy was doing great I would highly recommend and appreciate the last minute notice that I had to board my dog.”
“Ponto had a great time staying with Trista. I could tell from the photos that he was comfortable and content. Excellent communication. I recommend her and would use her again.”
“Nora and Levi were wonderful with my dog, Juno. They took great care of her over the holidays. Their dog Scarlett was a big sweetheart and got along with Juno very well. Their big, fenced in yard is just great for dogs. Highly recommend!”
About: Hello! My name is Savannah and I am a postdoctoral researcher in the biology department at IU. I have experience caring for all kinds of animals (dogs, cats, reptiles, fish and more). I have experience with small and large dogs, hyperactive/nervous dogs, as well as senior dogs so you can be assured that I know how to handle just about any dog personality. I am very responsible, considerate and dedicated to making sure your pets are happy and healthy. I consider it an honor to be welcomed into your pet’s life and take my job very seriously. Please feel welcome to ask me any and all questions you might have. Thank you so much for considering me! I cannot wait to hear from you and your pet! I have fairly flexible working hours as I largely can make my own schedule. I am available during the week and weekends as well as holidays. I have a fenced in yard if you would like your pet to stay with me, but I am also happy to take them for walks in addition to letting them play in the backyard. I have three dogs of my own that are all very friendly and I have ways to separate dogs from each other if need be so they don’t all have to interact at the same time.
“We couldn’t be happier with the care our puppy received during his overnight stay. From the moment we dropped him off, we felt confident he was in great hands. Communication was excellent — we received updates and pictures that reassured us he was comfortable and having fun. Our pup can be energetic (typical puppy!), and they handled him with patience and care. He came home tired, happy, and clearly well loved. We truly appreciate the attention and kindness shown to him and would recommend!”
“We had a great experience with Mariah! She took amazing care of Goose and kept us updated with thoughtful, detailed messages the entire time, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear she really paid attention to his routine, behavior, and little quirks. Goose got plenty of exercise, attention, and care, and we came home to a happy (and tired!) pup. We would absolutely trust her to watch Goose again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
“Can’t say enough good things about Celsei! She was quick to reply and agree to watch our dog on 48 hours notice. She was a GREAT communicator and kept me in the loop about how he was doing with pictures and videos, which really set my mind at ease. Our boy was WORN OUT when we got home from playing with her and her dogs. 10/10! We will definitely come to Celsei for future sitting.”

“Sierra is incredible!! She is attentive, very organized and timely with her check-ins, and she’s definitely my cat’s new favorite person! 10/10, I would book with her any day and any time.”
“Zoë was awesome and so patient with my nervousness leaving my little kitten alone. She was the perfect person to be taking care of him while I was gone. Super quick responses and always so personable. Already planning the next time that she’s gonna watch him!”
“We had another sitter booked; our pet and everything were packed in the car, ready to meet the sitter & leave for our trip; then the sitter ended up being a no-show. Thankfully, Nikole replied to my SOS on Rover! We were able to take our precious Princess Pickles to Nikole's right away. She & her spouse were incredible! They listened to our concerns, and were very understanding and supportive. They took excellent care of our baby girl. Nikole knew we were anxious and apprehensive, and sent daily pics and videos. Nikole and her family gave Pickles time and space to get used to her new surroundings, and helped the process by brushing her and giving her treats (her favorite things!). In the past, after being boarded with other sitters, Pickles got sick, was extremely clingy, had nightmares, etc. None of these things happened after her time with Nikole! It was an easy, seamless transition. We are SO grateful and thankful for Nikole and her family! She's the only sitter for us from now on. We can't recommend her enough. (Just don't bombard her with bookings so she's not available when we need her. 😉)”
“Brandon was great with Malcom! He made sure to stay for the whole visit and made sure Malcom was worn out by the time he left. Brandon is also very easy to communicate with and responds within a timely manner. Would definitely recommend!”
“Ashli was great with our dog! She arrived early for a meet & greet and was very patient with our loud demand-barker. He was very comfortable, and we're very happy to have found someone we can trust to take care of him while we're away.”
About: I have always loved dogs/cats and giving them the attention they need. I have a flexible schedule at the moment which allows me to help you and your pets! Advice: if you have a dog that is not fully house-trained, it’s best to book house-sitting instead of drop-in visits to insure growth on the progress you have already made. I like to be very attentive to each pup and reward them for their good behavior learning! (Also, when I house/dog sit I do a daily surface clean/sweep/mop/etc) as a courtesy/no extra charge! I work part-time as a dental hygienist and on my own chosen schedule. I will make taking care of your dog/cat my main priority for the day(s) needed.

(Also, when I house/dog sit I do a daily surface clean/sweep/mop/etc) as a courtesy/no extra charge! ) I have a very friendly, well behaved Italian Greyhound that loves visitors and making new friends. He doesn't bark much and we do not feed him human food. We have plenty of toys and treats! If your pup likes human food, then we can make an exception for them if you would like;)
About: I've had a dog for as long as I can remember. I've watched over dogs for neighbors, friends, and family. I have had all sorts of pets from cats to dogs to birds. All have been lovely companions and precious members of my family. Each one has held a special place in my heart! ☺️ As a student living away from home, I deeply miss the daily joy of caring for dogs. Back home, I looked after an Australian Shepherd and a terrier mix, so I am very comfortable managing high-energy breeds and keeping them happily exercised. I also raised a sweet coonhound/basset hound mix, giving me a soft spot for gentle hounds. I am excited to bring that same love, patience, and dedicated care to your fluffy family members! My priorities for pets are Hygiene, Routines, and Care. Making sure pets are clean and comfortable, well fed, and well rested is most important! Ultimately, you know your furbaby best, so I am always completely open and attentive to any specific instructions or routines you request!
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my extensive experience and the trust I’ve built with clients over the past nine years. I’ve cared for a wide range of pets, including large dogs, cats with diabetes or thyroid issues, deaf dogs, sugar gliders, and more. I’m comfortable handling special needs pets and providing medical care as needed, including trips to the vet. Some clients trust me to stay in their home for extended periods, while others rely on me for daily check-ins, showing the confidence owners have in my reliability and dedication. My experience, attention to detail, and genuine love for animals allow me to provide a safe, caring, and personalized experience for every pet I watch. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine because I’m organized, attentive, and flexible. Over the years, I’ve developed a rhythm that ensures pets receive consistent care, whether it’s feeding, exercise, medication, or simply companionship. When house sitting, I adjust my schedule to the pet’s needs—taking dogs for walks, giving medications on time, and providing attention and play. Even during check-ins, I make sure each pet gets the care, love, and monitoring they need. Pet care is a natural part of my day, and I treat it with the same reliability and dedication that owners would. At this time I can't host pets in my home due to my apartment lease polices. I'm more than happy to go to your pets and care for them!
About: Hi! I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was a kid and somehow became the go-to “can you check on my pet?” person for all my friends. I also have a cat, so I’m fluent in both tail wags and judgmental stares. I’m a local teacher, which means I’m patient, responsible, and fully background checked (trusted with a room full of kids—so your fur babies are in good hands). I’ll treat your pets like my own and make sure they’re happy, safe, and maybe a little spoiled. You can trust me with your fur children—I promise to return them just as adorable as you left them :)
About: Living with two cats for over 5 years has taught me everything about the balance needed for happy cats. I’m well versed in complex feeding schedules, managing different energy levels, and ensuring they get the attention and love they deserve. I treat clients cat with the same level of care as if they are my own
About: I have 2 dogs, a 6 year old mix and 3 year old mix. They are like my children. I've had many dogs growing up and I love caring for them. I'm always game to play with dogs. I work full-time but it would be nice to make some extra cash doing something I really love in my evenings. I love being with dogs and finding out their personalities and what they like. I have a small fenced in yard and 2 dogs currently. One of my dogs does not like to play with other dogs so I won't be Introducing her to anyone's pet. So I will be tending to dogs without my own pets.
About: I've had a pet dog for as long as I can remember. My parents taught me the value of having a happy, healthy companion and instilled a love of pets and pet care that will last a lifetime. I've interacted with a variety of dogs over the years, both in my house and in friends' houses, from small Pomeranians to medium Beagles to large Black Labs and Great Danes. I currently have a Boxer/Bulldog mix who I've had since he was 6 weeks old, so your puppy will be comfortable with me! I know that trusting me with your pet is trusting me with a member of your family, and I take that honor very seriously. I look forward to meeting your fur baby! I currently work part time sporadically throughout the day, so I have plenty of opportunities to visit your pet during the day. I also have full availability in the evenings and at night, so overnight visits are not an issue. As I mentioned, I currently have a Boxer/Bulldog mix who would love to keep your pet company! I live in a quiet neighborhood a short drive away from Clinton Dog Park, so on nice days, we can take a trip to the park and run around there as well.
About: Hi! I am a current Veterinary Assistant, and former Surgery Tech/Animal Behavior volunteer. I have had cats and other pets my entire life, and have tons of experience with pet sitting of all types, and as a dog walker for an animal shelter and another walking service app. I can administer any medications, as I do that every day all day at work. I am accustomed to all types of medical and behavioral needs. I have all kinds of relevant experience but the most important thing is that I can provide safe, reliable, and dedicated care for your pet while you're away. I know how stressful it is to trust your pet and potentially your home with a stranger, but I can assure you, they are in the best hands with me. I will respect your home, your rules, and your pet! I work Wednesdays through Saturdays, and am off Sundays through Tuesdays, and will be fully available during those days. I have no other commitments during those off days. I have only 2 hamsters, so I can provide tons of attention to your pet! I can board cats at my place, but otherwise I can do dog sitting at yours, and can do stop-in visits or just walks. Whatever your pet needs to be comfortable. I am flexible.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Avoca
“Tawny was relaxed and good with my dogs. She wasn’t put off by my Shepherds size or talkativeness. On the other hand, I was nervous. First time leaving my dogs with a new sitter. Tawny thought to send pictures of my dogs with some new friends without me asking, which was a relief. My dogs were happy and tired when I picked them up. They had had a great day. They even got a very sweet card from Tawny’a own dogs. Very nice touch”
“Kimberly was so kind and accommodating. Mia had a great time playing with her and her dog. She has a larger property with plenty of room to roam and play which was great for our golden. We will definitely have her dog sit for us again if ever needed in the future. Thanks!”
“Misty enjoyed her stay at Kelly’s”. Misty usually resists when we drop her off at daycare centers, but she went happily when we dropped her at Kelly”s house. That was the kind of wonderful care that Kelly provided.”
“Nikole and her family were great to Eva. She had fun with Daisy the whole day in their yard. Nikole sent me pictures and updates during the day. It was cold and Nikole followed my advice to put the winter coat on Eva as she is not used to the snow. Also, Eva is Brazilian and Nikole was able to learn few words in Portuguese to be able to communicate with her. I booked Nikole to watch Eva next week again and will continue to book her every time I travel. Eva has a second home in Indiana.”

“"Perfect" is the one word I would use for my doggie daycare interaction with Catherine! This was Maves first anything without one of use being with her. She is a highly active 7 month old puppy. Catherine was so great with her. I really felt my pupper was safe and being well taken care of. Updates of photos and text during the day and answered immediately when I wanted an additional update. Then when we got there for her second day, Mave was SUPER excited to be there again! That is when I knew this was the “Perfect” place for her to stay on daytrips or any other time I need. I will request Catherine each time I am south of Indy for vacations or one day getaway. Thank you Catherine, you made an enjoyable week even better!”
“Augie had a wonderful time with Mary Jane and family. This was the first time we left Augie with anyone; Mary Jane made us feel reassured and calm. We had a terrific get away and Augie had a great day! Thank you, Janine & Bruce”
About: I grew up with several small dogs and I currently have three, so I have experience with taking care of their needs and giving attention to multiple dogs at once! I’m available for boarding and dog sitting on weekends and weekdays. I’m home most days so my schedule is fairly open. When I'm available, I rarely leave the house for more than an hour at a time. I have a fenced in yard for your dog to safely enjoy fresh air! I also have two small crates and the ability to segment off parts of the house with baby gates if the need arises.
About: I have been a dog owner all my life. Our last dog passed away last year at age 17. My husband and I really miss him but dont want to commit to years of having another. Taking care of your pet would really help us I think. We are self employed so we work from home on our own schedule. It would no trouble looking after and caring for your dog anytime. Live of 1 mile off hwy 37 in a rural area. We have a two acre plot that will provide plenty of room for them to run and play.
About: My fiancé and I have cared for dogs of various breeds, sizes, and temperaments, from puppies to senior dogs requiring special attention. Our experience includes feeding according to dietary needs, ensuring regular exercise through walks and playtime, administering medications, and maintaining a safe, clean environment. And let’s not forget, all the cuddles your pup will allow! Pet care fits seamlessly into our weekly routine, as both my fiancé, Renas, and I work from home. I work part-time and he works full-time, which means one of us is always home to provide attentive care. Renas shares my love for animals and is always actively involved in caring for the pets we welcome. Our schedules are flexible and fully adaptable to meet your pet’s unique needs. While your pet is in our care, we will follow any schedule/routine that fits your pets needs. We will also ensure proper feeding/watering and any dietary restrictions. Pets will have regular walks and playtime as well as proper physical and mental stimulation such as engaging in games or activities that cater to the pet’s personality and energy level. If games and activities aren’t your pets cup of tea, we can be great couch potatoes and cuddle buddies as well. Maintaining a clean pet environment is a priority ensuring their space is free from hazards. Any basic grooming needs will also be provided. Last but not least, we are happy to keep pet owners updated regularly through messages, pictures, or videos to provide peace of mind. (Pets are allowed on furniture and are welcome to sleep in bed if preferred 😊) Side note- We live in a two story home on a half acre lot that backs up to a wooded area. Our yard is not fenced in so dogs will need to be leashed when going outside. Our neighborhood is very dog friendly with tree lined streets and sidewalks on both sides. There’s also several trails nearby that’s great for dog walking and adventures!

About: I started taking care of and training my first family dog when I was only 6 years old! I have had dogs of all breeds and sizes my whole life. I adopted my first cat when I was 19 and have cared for 2 of them since then. My current pets include my cat, Nala who is a 5 year old loving girl. Brock, my 9 year old 106 pound Pit Bull is a giant baby. And last but not least, Bella, is my 5 year old 41 pound Puggle. I know how to care for play with and handle dogs and cats alike! It doesn’t matter if they are old or young, and also big or small!!! I am also familiar with administering oral and topical medication to your dog or cat! I work as a delivery driver and am able to take frequent breaks when it is slow at work so I am available almost anytime!!! All my animals take turns sleeping in bed with me because we all love to cuddle. Unfortunately, I cannot watch your pet in my home because my Pit Bull, Brock, doesn’t really care for other dogs other than his sister. But I can handle 100+ pound dogs on the leash with no problem as I have a 106 pound dog myself.

About: Hello! Former veterinary assistant, forever animal lover here! Have spent the last 14 years working with dogs and cats in various professional contexts: boarding and daycare, animal shelters, high-volume spay/neuter, and, more recently, full-service veterinary medicine. Additionally, I have been caring for dogs and cats in my own home since I was young. I will offer your pet/s compassionate, attentive care. You can trust that I will be responsible, reliable, professional, and fun! I’m pretty flexible at the moment. Aside from animal care, my schedule is fairly open. Please reach out and I will try to accommodate! I am unable to care for pets in my own home as I have a reactive Aussie mix, BUT, I am more than willing to stay the night or day in your home to care for your pets, following all instructions and guidelines to the T.
About: I have been around and loved dogs for my entire life. One of our family dogs had two litters while I was in high school and I helped take care of and raise the puppies. I also frequently pet-sat for neighbors and friends. Last year my wife and I adopted a puppy from Puerto Rico who we adore. I look forward to giving your pets the care and love they deserve! I do freelance work as a musician and dancer, so I have a fairly unpredictable schedule. Currently I am available on weekdays from 8 AM to 10 PM but I can be available on some weekends. I am happy to play with your dogs in their home or yard, to work on training as needed (our dog has been in training courses for around six months), or to do whatever else your dog will enjoy! I also enjoy walks and am happy to take your dog around the neighborhood or to nearby parks.

About: I have dog sit for multiple people and loved it! I’ve had dogs all my life and I always walk them, at the moment I have 2 large dogs a pitbull and a hound and I walk them almost daily. I also have a cat who I love! Yes! I wake up let out my dogs and feed them I then take them on a walk and feed them and let them out again that night. I always make sure they have water and food and make sure they get out then they need to. I’ll play with them if they want to play and make sure they get any medication needed.
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life—pets have always been part of my family! Right now, I have 4 cats and 2 dogs of my own, so I’m very comfortable handling different personalities and energy levels. I don’t just work with cats and dogs either—I’ve cared for everything from hamsters to horses, and even birds! No matter the animal, I’m confident, patient, and know how to make them feel safe and loved. Whether your pet loves to play, go for walks, or just relax and get some extra attention, I’m happy to match their vibe. I’ll make sure they’re fed on time, get their exercise, and receive plenty of love while you’re away. I work online, so my schedule is super flexible. Need a midday walk or extra check-ins? I’ve got you covered! I’m also a photographer, so you can expect lots of cute photo updates of your pets while you’re gone 📸 I truly love meeting new people and their animals, and I’d love to work with you to make sure your pets are happy, comfortable, and well cared for! Pet care is part of my everyday life! With a flexible, work-from-home schedule, I’m able to easily build my day around walks, feedings, and giving pets plenty of love and attention. One thing I ask is to be made aware of any pineapple scented items(soaps, air fresheners, food, etc.) before entering the home as I am severely allergic. I follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible—feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I focus on keeping them comfortable, safe, and well-loved, and I always provide updates while you’re away.

I am willing to work around whatever schedule they are used to in order to make sure they remain as comfortable as possible. I remain very attentive to what the pet needs, and I make sure to accommodate for whatever recommendations my clients would like to see being done.

About: Hi there! I’m an avid animal lover with a gentle, patient approach to pet care. I share my home with a sweet kitty named Evie and my rescue beagle, Mylo: a lovable goofball who keeps me humble and well‑trained. I always look after every pet with the same attentiveness, patience, and high quality care I give my own little crew. 🐾 Before pursuing social work, I actually planned to become a veterinary technician, and that early passion for animals has stayed with me. I’ve volunteered at the Wabash animal shelter, spent years riding horses, and gained hands‑on experience with all kinds of personalities and needs. Mylo, who struggles with anxiety, has taught me a lot about de‑escalating reactivity and building trust through positive reinforcement. He also takes daily medication, so I’m very comfortable administering meds and following specific care routines. Mylo likes to think of it as his “evening treat with extra steps.” Over the past several years, I’ve pet‑sat for friends, family, and their extended circles. This has allowed me to care for pets of all ages and ranging needs. No matter the temperament, I adapt to each animal’s personality, mood, and boundaries. Striving to create a calm, reassuring environment where your pet feels understood is central to my approach as a caregiver. Please reach out if you have any questions! Your pet's comfort is my priority ❤️ My schedule is currently very open as I wrap up my internship, and I’m available for daily check‑ins, walks, and overnight stays! Please feel free to reach out with any questions, I’m always happy to connect. ❤️🐕🦺🎾 I love caring for pets where they feel safest, their home 🏡🐾. While I’m there, I carefully follow your pet’s routine and keep their space clean and comfortable, so you return to a happy, relaxed fur baby and a home that feels just as you left it (or better).
About: I’ve taken care of animals all around the family! I have two dogs and a cat at home who have been spoiled so much. I love animals of all kinds. I have given dogs and cats medications orally. I am a college student at Ivy Tech, my schedule is a little empty this semester, and my part time job starts later in my day. I am always in town and don’t have any trips planned. I keep an open schedule! I am able to take your pets on walks! As long as it’s not raining I would love to take your little ones on walks. I keep animals close when a vehicle is near. I’ll treat them as my own!

“We are so grateful for the care Matthew and Ellie gave to our dog Marla. This was our first time using Rover and we were very nervous. Matthew and Ellie let us come to their home to see everything and how more the would feel at their place. They are very open and respectful. Marla had a wonderful time they provided daily pictures. They were very responsive to any messages. They were in constant communication with us and were also very flexible when we needed to extend marvelous care. We are very pleased with how everything went and will definitely be using them again in the future. I especially appreciated how they seemed to not just see this as a job, but actually enjoyed having Marla as part of their family.”
“Zoë is very sweet & knowledgeable when it comes to doggies! She took such great care of my little golden and kept me informed throughout the day each day on how she was doing with messages and photos. I would highly recommend Zoë for any/all of your doggie needs! :)”
“Winston Acres is the best. Tawny has been our go-to for dog boarding for quite awhile, and I can say that I highly recommend her and especially her awesome property for dog boarding. Our girl Piper always comes home clean and tired! Thanks Tawny!”
“Kelly's service is always our go-to when we need to board our dog. She loves it there, big open space with other friendly dogs. She always comes back well taken care of, looking clean (for a dog who just had a blast on vacation!!) and so so happy. We appreciate Kelly's flexibility and willingness to work with us on drop off/pick up, and she sends us regular updates on our dog's stay which help put our mind at ease. I know when we book with Kelly our dog will be well taken care of!”
“Mason has been such a great sitter! He first started with boarding my pup at his home and then has helped with drop in. He is very communicative and flexible. I absolutely recommend using him!”
“Kelsie was very nice and updated me with photos and updates to make sure my puppy was doing great I would highly recommend and appreciate the last minute notice that I had to board my dog.”
“Ponto had a great time staying with Trista. I could tell from the photos that he was comfortable and content. Excellent communication. I recommend her and would use her again.”
“Nora and Levi were wonderful with my dog, Juno. They took great care of her over the holidays. Their dog Scarlett was a big sweetheart and got along with Juno very well. Their big, fenced in yard is just great for dogs. Highly recommend!”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care our puppy received during his overnight stay. From the moment we dropped him off, we felt confident he was in great hands. Communication was excellent — we received updates and pictures that reassured us he was comfortable and having fun. Our pup can be energetic (typical puppy!), and they handled him with patience and care. He came home tired, happy, and clearly well loved. We truly appreciate the attention and kindness shown to him and would recommend!”
“Lindsie provided excellent care and attention for my little boy Otto. She was very good about sending me photos and reassuring me he was doing just fine with her. Otto is a 9 year old Miniature Schnauzer and used to just the two of us being together but he did very well with Lindsie. I highly recommend considering Lindsie as a sitter.”
“She was amazing there dog aurora is so cute and friendly. My dog had the best time and came home absolutely exhausted will definitely have them as my first choice for all bookings”
“We had a great experience with Mariah! She took amazing care of Goose and kept us updated with thoughtful, detailed messages the entire time, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear she really paid attention to his routine, behavior, and little quirks. Goose got plenty of exercise, attention, and care, and we came home to a happy (and tired!) pup. We would absolutely trust her to watch Goose again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!”
“Can’t say enough good things about Celsei! She was quick to reply and agree to watch our dog on 48 hours notice. She was a GREAT communicator and kept me in the loop about how he was doing with pictures and videos, which really set my mind at ease. Our boy was WORN OUT when we got home from playing with her and her dogs. 10/10! We will definitely come to Celsei for future sitting.”
