“Once again Sara did an AMAZING job watching my little old baby Bones. Not only did she take him on super short notice, but she had him all during the holiday season with a pick up on Christmas Eve. My dog is old and anxious but Sara worked her magic (as always) and he was happy and content during his stay. She sent me regular messages and photos and I never worried even for a second knowing she had it handled. Her background as a Vet Tech really comes in handy with my babies as they have either been old or sick and she just takes the very best care of them. I swear that I would not go on vacation if Sara wasn't available to babysit for me. She is the absolute best and I would recommend her 100%!”
“Sarah and Justin and super! They love your dog just like their own! Great about providing updates and pictures! Our doggie came home happy as could be! Will definitely book again!”
“I highly recommend Brianna for any of your pet care needs. I adopted a husky 7 months ago that had separation anxiety. He had grown a lot but I was fearful of leaving him with anyone. We started with a few days of daycare with Brianna and then he stayed with her for 5 nights. Brianna texted me daily and shared updates and pictures. He was so well cared for and so comfortable with her and her doggos that I now consider Brianna's place his second home! Please don't hestitate booking services with her, she is a gem and someone I am truly grateful for.”
“Sarah is a great sitter. Rex and Cutie have been visiting different sitters, but this is the only time when the came home very happy as if they were not away from home. Sarah kept us updated with multiple pictures and some videos everyday. The update was regular and precise. Her daughter and dog are very friendly and good with other dogs. Thank you Sarah, we are going to definitely going to use your services soon.”
“Emily and her family were wonderful with Bella. They were understanding and supportive of her separation anxiety, making me feel at ease while I was out of town. Bella came home happy and loved; I am so grateful that I found Emily. Definitely hope to book her the next time we go out on vacation.”
“We needed a last minute sitter over Christmas and happily rebooked with Becky. She spoiled our senior Blue Heeler mix and sent us several pictures/messages during his stay. We know he had a great time thanks to Becky!”
“Our little dog needed a good place to stay for some days while his Primary Person was convalescing from surgery. We could not have asked for a better place to stay for him ... for a caring and responsible dog sitter, kind and attentive family there, and a few other doggies for playing, fun, companionship. There is no doubt that we will ask Rachel to be a dog sitter in the future.”
“I couldn't have asked for better care for my sweet baby Myla! Kevin & Diana went above and beyond to make sure she felt at home, showering her with love and attention. They kept me updated with adorable photos and videos, which put my mind at ease while I was away. Myla came home happy, healthy, and clearly well-cared for. Thank you so much for your kindness and professionalism—I highly recommend your services to anyone looking for trustworthy and wonderful dog sitters!”
“Tracy watched our two puggles for 5 days. She sent pictures updating me on how they were doing. She was very responsive and our boys were well loved and taken care of. I would highly recommend her to anyone.”
“Emily and her family are highly recommended! Emily was kind to help me on short notice in addition to providing a safe, fun environment for my Vizsla. I will go back to Emily for future needs.”
“Highly recommend Kristen and Kenneth, Mac loves to visit and is well taken care of everytime! He has a best buddy with Zeke and it is a blessing to know they treat him like he's part of their family when he visits ❤️❤️”
“William cared well for our dog, Rosie. We appreciated that he was home during the days to spend time with her and he sent us updates each day. She came home happy!”
“We were blessed to find Victoria and her sweet family to love our two furry girls while we were away for a whole week. Leaving them with someone I did not know was very stressful. She settled my fears by staying in touch daily and sending pictures. When we picked them up, I could completely see the girls had been loved dearly while I was away. I will absolutely call on Victoria if we need a sitter in the future. XOXO”
“Five stars is not enough! Breanna treated our girls like they were family. They had such a great time and we miss our girls whenever we travel so the updates and pictures she sent us meant a lot! We will definitely have our girls stay with Breanna and her family again.”
“Josh and Katie were wonderful pet sitters! They provided individualized care, made sure that my pup felt safe and comfortable, and provided daily updates with photos. I am beyond happy to have found such a wonderful family that I feel safe leaving my pup with. I would highly recommend them to anyone!”
“I can’t recommend her enough! She was so sweet and kept me updated the entire time with tons of pictures and messages. Cooper had an absolute blast at her house, especially playing with her dog. It made me feel so comfortable knowing he was in such good hands. We will definitely be booking with her again!”
About: I have grown up with and lived with pets (dogs and cats) my entire life. For over a decade I have volunteered and fostered animals through a local animal rescue. I have passed on my love for animals to my 15-year-old daughter, Piper. She started sitting for neighboring pets three years ago. Together we would love to meet you and your furry family and provide you with outstanding pet-sitting services. Pets are not just animals, they are family. And many times, we love them more than our human family and they should be treated as such. Thank you for your consideration of our services. I work from home full time and have a fenced in yard. Working from home allows me nearly constant access to care for your dog's every need during their stay with us. Also, my schedule flexibility is perfect for midday drop-in visits and walks as needed. Piper also has availability during evenings and weekends to provide extra snuggles and play time with your furry family members. Our backyard fence is a 4' aluminum fence with custom picket spacing of 2.25" which is perfect for accommodating smaller dogs and puppies. We also have a variety of crates available if your pup prefers their own safe space. We own two small dogs (Yorkie mix and a Maltese) that are very accustomed to strange dogs (fosters and occasional overnight guests) coming through our home. And Piper, who has her own neighborhood pet/house/child sitting service, is usually available to give your fur baby extra snuggles and attention as well.

About: I have five cats of my own. I had a cat that had chronic kidney disease, which I had to give daily medications for. My five now range from 1 year old to 14 years old. I am comfortable with trimming cat nails as well if you are in need.
“Cali's care for our cats means the world to me. She is actually one of the only people outside my immediate family that one of my cats comes out for. Not just comes out- but is excited to see. It's clear she really loves kitties and is just as excited as we are about the cute biscuit making/purring things they do. All of our cats love her so much, they don't even look sad while we are gone. She is timely and always takes care of the house as well.”
“Absolutely wonderful! Victoria communicated well, provided lots of photos and my cat adores her! I was nervous as this was my first time using Rover, but Victoria put me at ease and made sure my fur baby was well cared for. I highly recommend her and I will definitely use her again in the future!”
“Brianna did a great job taking care of (and cleaning up after) my messy cat while I was away! She was extremely prompt in replying to queries and providing updates, and willing to go beyond the call of duty in checking in on the cat. Highly recommended sitter!”
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life — I grew up around dogs, cats, and pretty much every pet in the neighborhood, so being around them just feels like home. I started pet sitting for family and friends when I was young, and it kind of grew from there through word of mouth, which honestly means the world to me. I genuinely love spending time with animals, whether that means keeping up with a high-energy pup or just sitting quietly with a pet who needs some company. Every animal has their own personality, and getting to know that is honestly my favorite part of the job.
About: What makes me different is I really care and pay attention to pets, not just watch them. I’ve worked with puppies so I know how to keep them active, on routine, and help with training. I’ve also cared for older pets, giving them patience, comfort, and making sure they get what they need. I’m reliable with feeding, walks, playtime, and just making sure they feel safe and loved while you’re gone. I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm available for boarding on weekends, and weekdays after 2pm. I live in a pet-friendly apartment and make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and cared for. I stick to their routines, provide walks, potty breaks, crate if needed, and give plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles. Safety, trust, and comfort always come first in my care.
About: Okay, so I don’t have a passion for deep cleaning litter boxes; and while I do not have experience administering medications or handling specialized medical care, I do have experience caring for cats and genuinely enjoy their company. One of the things I appreciate most about cats is that every one of them has a unique personality. Whether your cat is affectionate, independent, playful, talkative, or prefers to keep their distance, I am happy to respect their boundaries and care for them according to their comfort level. I get along well with most cats, including the occasional grumpy one with a bit of attitude. As long as your cat is not operating under an “attack on sight” policy, we will probably get along just fine. My goal is to make sure your cat feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while maintaining their routine and giving them the attention they want—whether that means playtime, companionship, or simply a quiet presence nearby.
“Zach did an awesome job caring for our senior cat, Lizzie. He provided daily updates and cared for Lizzie as if she was her own. We highly recommend Zach for any of your pet sitting needs.”
About: My name is Josh Clemens and I am a dog person. I have had animals my entire life, and I personally trained my own service dog. I truly believe animals are better than people and I love spending time with them. For me time with your pet isn’t a chore, it’s an opportunity to make a friend! I know each pet is different and I work hard to meet each client’s specific needs. I love animals and if you choose to work with me, I believe you’ll see, they love me too! I only care for pets in client’s homes, not my own home. I specialize in custom in home service. I want your pet to feel like nothing has changed. I care for all the animals I work with as if they were my own, and I’m willing to do whatever is necessary to make my customers happy. Every first visit comes with a free toy! I work part time remotely so my schedule can be changed and worked around so no change in your pets’ schedules will be needed. For them it will be as if nothing has changed. I care for pets in my clients homes not my own home. I will come to your house and stay there essentially 24/7 to make sure your pets have optimal care.
About: I have experience caring for cats of all ages, including shy and senior cats. I'm patient, gentle, and attentive to their routines, behaviors, and preferences. I always maintain a clean litter box, ensure fresh food and water, and provide calm, loving care. I’m also comfortable administering oral medications. What sets me apart is my respect for each cat’s unique personality and my ability to create a stress-free, trusting environment where they feel safe and comfortable.
About: I have my own dog. I've grown up with dogs. I worked at a pet store when I was a teenager, and have house/pet sat before. Although, I'm not a vet, I'm observant and will keep an eye out for issues that concern you. Pet health is important. That includes nutrition and grooming. I know some think there is such a thing as over involved pet parents, I think they're family and should be treated as such. I volunteer at my church every Thursday, Backpack Program fifth Wednesdays (when they occur) and Orphan Grain Train every other month on the third Thursday. Otherwise, I take care of my dad who has COPD. I have to be home to cook for him. And take care of my own dog. Eventually, I will allow dogs to stay with me overnight, but I want to make sure my dog and said dogs get along. So that is my availability. I have a pitbull mix. She is very good around other dogs. Especially after she gets to know them. She's not aggressive, just tends to hump when excited. All dogs will need a leash if they are coming with me. I have walking trails in my community. I have no problem walking your dogs in them. Please make sure they have up to date tick meds. Also I live with my dad he will be petting and loving any pet that spends the night. My house is two story, so if you have a senior dog that needs help just let me know.
About: I’m a loving & active pet person who enjoys spending time with both cats & jdogs! I love playing, going on walks, and giving pets lots of attention & cuddles. I will make sure to make your pet feel loved & happy. I have a German Shepherd myself! I cat sit for my friends & family when they’re away & I love cats!

“Our dog loves Brianna and Ali so much! He would get so excited every morning when he saw them. She is very reliable and great at communicating. I would highly recommend!”
“Moose had such a great time with Brittany and Waylon! Brittany is very thorough in making sure she knows everything about your pet and ensures they have a great stay. Thank you, Brittany!”
About: You're not just hiring another pet sitter; you're entrusting your beloved dog to someone whose life has been filled with canine companionship from day one. Growing up with dogs wasn't just about having pets; it was a hands-on education in understanding their nuanced body language, anticipating their needs, and fostering genuine connections built on trust and affection. This lifelong immersion has instilled in me an intuitive understanding that goes beyond standard training, allowing me to provide a level of care that feels less like a service and more like an extension of the loving home your dog already knows. I am currently a stay at home mom so will have plenty of time for your pets , love doing outdoor activities with the dogs also love cuddling and loving on all the animals I will take your dog out on leash every couple hours unless they need more, I have a chiweenie and German shepherd that loves having friends to play with and my children are amazing with animals as well.
About: I’ve been a doggo lover my entire life. I got my first pup my senior year of high school and he’s my best friend to this day. At home I’m now a doggo dad of 4. Winston, Calvin, Winnie, & Junior. My daily experience of over 10 years has taught me how to handle everything from high energy zoomies to picky eater senior dogs (my chihuahua). If it’s a quick walk around the block, a full day of adventures, or just coming to check in and feed, I treat every pet like my own. Really paying attention to their routine, safety, exercise, and lots of affection. I’d love to bring that type of care to your fur babies. I am as flexible as it gets. My other job is delivering groceries for Walmart which I also make my own hours for. I am available and compatible to match the schedule and services you need. My home is a secure, pet friendly fenced in yard. I would never leave your fur babies outside without supervision. Safety and trust are my top priorities. My dogs are very friendly but can be totally isolated from your pets if that’s what you request. I treat every home I enter with the utmost respect, following your instructions exactly, and I will send updates with photos so you can see your fur babies happy and safe. You can trust your pet will be in a loving, attentive, and safe environment just like my own pack receives every day.
“Janet was absolutely wonderful! My dog Pumpkin stayed with her for the entire day for daycare, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She kept me updated and let me know how he was doing, which gave me so much peace of mind. Janet is so kind and caring, and it’s obvious she truly loves the dogs she watches. Her sweet basset hound, Mildred, is absolutely adorable too! Pumpkin came home happy, and I felt completely comfortable knowing he was in such great hands all day. I would absolutely book with Janet again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring pet sitter. Thank you so much for taking such great care of my little guy! 💕🐶”
“Kelly was wonderful with our boys! They seem to have settled in great and were able roam and run, which is something they love :) They slept soundly that night. I received many pictures and updates throughout the day. We will definitely book with her again!”
“Alyssa is absolutely wonderful. This was our second time leaving our little fur-baby with her and he seems to really enjoy her and is opening up (He has a bit of separation anxiety)...I cannot recommend her enough!”
“As always, Hank had SO MUCH fun today with Mrs. Emily!! He got to play outside with the other dogs and dig in the dirt, and those are his most favorite things to do!! (He also got a bath after covering himself in dirt:) And mom gets to go to work worry free when Hank is with her.. We’re SOO thankful we found Mrs. Emily!! She’s the best sitter EVER!!!!”
“Kristen and Kenneth were phenomenal! We could not have asked for a better sitter for our dog Ace. They were so welcoming, made sure everyone was a good fit, let us see where the dogs would be and helped us and our boy get acclimated to the environment! They sent updates throughout his stay and sent lots of pictures! I never once worried about Ace (and we often do as he is a very anxious dog)! Not only this, but they helped us pull off an engagement and made accommodations so that the proposal could go perfectly without us having to worry about Ace (: we will 10000% be using them again!”

“Sara did so good with our Marty! This is his first time ever being watched by anyone outside our family and we were so nervous being that marty gets so scared at times but she kept him calm and did wonderful! She took Marty for a walk and then he got to play with her dogs Pickles and Pepper and they became great friends! I'm so happy and just overall relieved that he did so well and was so well taken care of! I look forward to Marty's next stay with Sara, Pickles, and Pepper! ???”
“Tracy is awesome. This was my first time leaving my fur baby and she took such good care of her and reassured me along the way too. I’ll definitely be using her again”
“Jaclyn is the BEST! I was so nervous to leave my puppy with someone but he comes home with the biggest smile and I know he was well taken care of :) I can tell he plays hard over there with her dogs! Nothing but great things to say ❤️”
About: I’ve had animals my entire life, most of which was more than 3 dogs at a time! I’ve had everything from small 30 pound mutts to 120+pound mastiffs. I currently work from home and have 2 wonderful pittie pups, one of which is a tripod. I live in a quiet neighborhood in Plainfield perfect to host your fur baby while you’re away! I work from home and can stay in your home or host your fur babes at our house. I don’t have human kids, only fur kids! I have a fenced in yard and have 2 dogs of my own. I have a house that has plenty of space for everyone to feel comfortable and safe.
About: I’m a military veteran who loves animals and understands how important trust is when leaving your pet with someone else. I’m patient, dependable, and committed to giving your pet plenty of love, attention, and care while you’re away. I plan my day around feeding times, walks or potty breaks, playtime, and check ins, making sure each pet receives attentive care without feeling rushed. I follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. This includes feeding on schedule, providing fresh water, walks or potty breaks, playtime, and any specific instructions given by the owner.
About: ABOUT ME: Completely insured WITH Animal Bailee Insurance and Vet Protection Coverage through PCI. I have been on and off Rover since I was in college and own my small business. Currently, I have a tuxedo kitty named, Mr. Sir. His is my laid back, street rat, expert hunter that does not like to be indoors. I have currently have a flock of 14 chickens. This is my second flock of chickens owned since 2019. I am a previous dog owner. My animals were not only my pets, but they were my family. I had my Labrador for 13 years and my Boxer mix for 15 years. We used to love to take long strolls around the neighborhood and visit our pals at the local dog park. We would cook dinner and lounge around watching our favorite flicks. We even took car rides around town when we got bored. Over the years, we went through everything from crazy puppy phases, to professional command/leash training, and experienced all medical scares (labs love to chew on EVERYTHING) under the sun. I can assist with any type of need ranging from long walks, simple belly rubs, to training help. Maple, my lab, was a diabetic for 7 years, requiring insulin injections. I am highly experienced in administering topical, oral and injectable medications, as well as eye and ear medications. The care needed for my senior dogs helped build my knowledge on many types of medications and daily care pills. Whatever the need may be, just ask me! EDUCATION: I am a graduate with my b.s. in buisness from Purdue. I currently am a stay at home mother, with much freedom to build my own schedule. Therefore I am always available for drop-ins and pup walks throughout the week and weekends. I am completely insured with $1M general liability, Animal Bailee Insurance, and Vet Protection Coverage. I care for pets in the same way I would care for my own pets, like family. Play time, walks, relaxing on the couch, eating treats, you know... just hanging out.

About: I currently work at a veterinarian clinic and deal with all types or breeds and temperaments. I have worked at a dog daycare and boarding facility. I would help with playgroups, walks, medication administration, and bathing. I have helped with potty and crate training, including my own dogs. I have a crate and rotate situation in my own home, so I understand that not all dogs can be around others. I would help on my days off at the vet clinic. I am always off on Sundays and major holidays. I would also try to fit any pet care on my days I work as well. I have a crate and rotate situation in my home. I know to take extra care to make sure my non dog friendly dog is up prior to letting any others out. I double check to make sure the crate doors are latched. I also make sure my own gate is closed because I would hate for one of my dogs to get out.
“Katie’s first day with dog walking was a success. I loved her pictures and very complete reports. On the meet and greet Brody loved Katie. Katie is obviously a dog lover and knows and understands how to make them happy and content.”
About: I love bonding and interacting with the families and their pets. I love the enjoyment of animals and giving them extra love while their owners are away! I work Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., but I'm able to stop by during my lunch break for potty breaks, walks, feedings, and check-ins when needed. Before and after work, I dedicate plenty of time to walks, playtime, cuddles, and keeping pets on their normal routine. On evenings and weekends, I have even more flexibility to give your pet the attention, love, and care they deserve. I can't currently have animals stay in my home. But depending on what the client is looking for, I can drop by their home and visit or stay with that animal if need be.

About: I have worked in the pet industry for 10 years. I have done everything from cleaning kennels, to working as a vet assistant in a clinic. I also have experience with farm and exotic animals. I currently don't have furbabies of my own, but I find them very therapeutic to interact with. Life is boring without furbabies in my life. I will enter the home as instructed by owners, and proceed in a professional manner. I will use my education as a vet assistant and future vet tech to ensure the animal(s) experience minimal upheaval of their daily routines.
About: I am very skilled with animals ! I’ve grown up with showing and raising different kinds of animals my whole life ! It would be a pleasure to help care for yours ! I’m currently a server at a restaurant , I work a couple night shifts weekly ! During the day I am open and free ! I currently live in a nice neighborhood with our own fenced in yard !

“Mari was great with our pet, Mali G. He is quick to respond and Mali G really enjoyed their walks this week. We received the report cards and it was easy to communicate via the Rover app. We look forward to having our pet in good hands with Mari the next time, he is great with pets!”
About: What makes me different is I really care and pay attention to pets, not just watch them. I’ve worked with puppies so I know how to keep them active, on routine, and help with training. I’ve also cared for older pets, giving them patience, comfort, and making sure they get what they need. I’m reliable with feeding, walks, playtime, and just making sure they feel safe and loved while you’re gone. I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm available for boarding on weekends, and weekdays after 2pm. I live in a pet-friendly apartment and make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and cared for. I stick to their routines, provide walks, potty breaks, crate if needed, and give plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles. Safety, trust, and comfort always come first in my care.
About: I absolutely live for pets to get the care they deserve. After all, our pets are part of our family. I have always had family pets and feel like they are an extension of our family. I work from home and I have a very flexible schedule. If you call...I'm there to take care of your furry friend. It simply takes one phone call for great service. I provide great service to all my clients when ever they need me to go to their home to care for their furry friends. Allow me the possibility to become an extension of your family. Pet care fits my work schedule because I work part time. I can free my schedule anytime. Having a flexible schedule just means I can spend more time with your furry friend and I don't have to be in a rush to get back to work. I have always pampered my pets. They all have a little personality, we just have to take the time to really understand them. Allowing them to be home and comfortable while you are away is the perfect time for you to see.. though the lens of a camera. Enjoy the new video communication!
“I reviewed a few months ago and wanted to follow up. At this point Zach has watched all my pups and I can’t stress enough how great he is. He takes the time to build with each dog, he asks a lot of questions, and genuinely cares about making sure they feel as comfortable as possible when we are gone. He is such a good dog sitter, and a really great guy in general. The only down side is now we don’t want to share him! Haha. Honestly though, your dog would be in very capable hands. Thanks Zach!”
About: I have always had many animals from rabbits to birds to fish, and of course dogs. I have had dogs my whole life and love making bonds with them as well as making them feel loved and safe. I am in grad school so have school every day Monay-Friday, off on Thursday's but I am extremely flexible. I have school most days 8:30-4pm. I care for pets in my home by making sure they have access to fresh food and water, regular exercise, and a clean and safe environment. I also make time to give them attention and all the love. If caring for a pet in a client’s home, I would follow the client’s specific instructions and routines for feeding, walking, grooming, and other pet-care needs. I would also make sure the pet’s environment is safe and clean while respecting the client’s home, preferences, and routines!
About: I have over a year of pet-sitting experience and have cared for animals throughout my life, including my own family pets. Animals have always held a special place in my heart, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with them. While I am not a professional pet trainer, I believe consistency, patience, and clear communication go a long way. I treat pets much like young children—helping reinforce good habits, routines, and expectations through positive guidance and repetition. I strive to maintain a structured environment with designated times for learning, exercise, play, and rest so that pets feel secure, engaged, and comfortable. For health reasons, I am sensitive to pet waste, so I can only accept pets that are potty trained or when waste-removal tools are provided. My goal is to ensure your pets feel safe, loved, well cared for, and happy while you’re away. While I do not have any special experience, I do have experience caring for cats and dogs and genuinely enjoy their company. One of the things I appreciate most about animals is that every one of them has a unique personality. Whether your pet is affectionate, independent, playful, talkative, or prefers to keep their distance, I am happy to respect their boundaries and care for them according to their comfort level. I get along well with most animals, including the occasional grumpy cat with a bit of attitude. As long as your pet is not operating under an “attack on sight” policy, we will probably get along just fine. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while maintaining their routine and giving them the attention they want—whether that means playtime, companionship, or simply a quiet presence nearby. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I currently have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate significant time and attention to the animals in my care. This flexibility enables me to maintain feeding schedules, provide regular walks and exercise, reinforce routines and positive behaviors, and ensure pets receive plenty of companionship throughout the day. Because I have greater availability right now than I may have in the future, I encourage interested pet parents to reach out while openings are available. I believe pets thrive when they have consistency, structure, and engagement. Whether your pet enjoys active play, quiet companionship, outdoor adventures, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I am committed to providing attentive care that helps them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you are away. My availability may change over time, but while I have room in my schedule, I look forward to building lasting relationships with both pets and their owners. Whether I am caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I follow feeding schedules, provide fresh water, take dogs on walks, give pets plenty of attention and companionship, and do my best to maintain their normal routines. I also make time for play and mental stimulation, as I believe happy pets are engaged pets. While I can certainly entertain pets on my own, toys and favorite activities are always appreciated and help create the best experience for them. If requested and permitted by the owner, I am also happy to assist with basic grooming tasks such as brushing and keeping coats looking neat between professional grooming appointments. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and comfort level, so I adjust my approach to meet their individual needs. Whether your pet wants to play all day, go on adventures, or simply relax with a companion nearby, I strive to provide patient, attentive care that helps them feel right at home.
About: I've been taking care of dogs almost all my life. I've had so many different breeds in my lifetime. I love all kinds of animals but definitely have to say dogs are my favorite! I work on my time. I book cleanings and caregiving help to older adults. So if I have a job for sitting lined up I just don't accept any cleaning jobs. I do sitting, walking, and boarding. I can accommodate up to two large dogs and I have a safe area for walks and playtime. I also can come to pets home if needed to do potty breaks ect.
About: As my headline mentions, I currently work remotely. Thus, I can be flexible with providing your dog visits, check-ins, and daily/nightly stays. Let me know how I can help take care of your 4-legged family! I have the flexibility to fit animal care into my daily and weekly routine quite smoothly due to my main employment being fully remote. Let me know how I can help take care of your 4-legged family! The care I provide is providing moments of play, plenty of attention, making sure they are fed, ensuring opportunity for outside relief, and comfort to rest.
About: I’ve taken care of various dogs, cats, and reptiles my entire life. From a young age I trained, fed, walked, and bathed dogs. I currently have 6 dogs, two turtles, and a bearded dragon. I am extremely familiar and comfortable taking care of elderly dogs/medication management. I also have impaired dog experience- one of my dogs is deaf and blind and an another dog who is fully deaf. I have owned dogs of all kinds and breeds. I have a hybrid nursing job with a lot of flexibility. I also tend to be home and available majority of weekends to dog sit! My day fits around a dogs schedule of getting walks/outdoor time, having enrichment with lick mats or puzzle toys, and having the comfort of someone around nearly 24/7.
About: I have my own dog. I've grown up with dogs. I worked at a pet store when I was a teenager, and have house/pet sat before. Although, I'm not a vet, I'm observant and will keep an eye out for issues that concern you. Pet health is important. That includes nutrition and grooming. I know some think there is such a thing as over involved pet parents, I think they're family and should be treated as such. I volunteer at my church every Thursday, Backpack Program fifth Wednesdays (when they occur) and Orphan Grain Train every other month on the third Thursday. Otherwise, I take care of my dad who has COPD. I have to be home to cook for him. And take care of my own dog. Eventually, I will allow dogs to stay with me overnight, but I want to make sure my dog and said dogs get along. So that is my availability. I have a pitbull mix. She is very good around other dogs. Especially after she gets to know them. She's not aggressive, just tends to hump when excited. All dogs will need a leash if they are coming with me. I have walking trails in my community. I have no problem walking your dogs in them. Please make sure they have up to date tick meds. Also I live with my dad he will be petting and loving any pet that spends the night. My house is two story, so if you have a senior dog that needs help just let me know.
About: I grew up around a lot of big dogs so I think i have a better time reading the dog and knowing what it needs and when. I am currently self employed so i can fit in my walks into my schedule how I like. That way if you need to change the time i can be very flexible. You can ensure my attention will be on your pet 100% of the time when you book with me and will get lots of play time.

“I highly recommend Brianna for any of your pet care needs. I adopted a husky 7 months ago that had separation anxiety. He had grown a lot but I was fearful of leaving him with anyone. We started with a few days of daycare with Brianna and then he stayed with her for 5 nights. Brianna texted me daily and shared updates and pictures. He was so well cared for and so comfortable with her and her doggos that I now consider Brianna's place his second home! Please don't hestitate booking services with her, she is a gem and someone I am truly grateful for.”
“Sarah is a great sitter. Rex and Cutie have been visiting different sitters, but this is the only time when the came home very happy as if they were not away from home.

Thank you Sarah, we are going to definitely going to use your services soon.”

“We needed a last minute sitter over Christmas and happily rebooked with Becky. She spoiled our senior Blue Heeler mix and sent us several pictures/messages during his stay. We know he had a great time thanks to Becky!”
“Our little dog needed a good place to stay for some days while his Primary Person was convalescing from surgery. We could not have asked for a better place to stay for him ... for a caring and responsible dog sitter, kind and attentive family there, and a few other doggies for playing, fun, companionship. There is no doubt that we will ask Rachel to be a dog sitter in the future.”
“I couldn't have asked for better care for my sweet baby Myla! Kevin & Diana went above and beyond to make sure she felt at home, showering her with love and attention. They kept me updated with adorable photos and videos, which put my mind at ease while I was away. Myla came home happy, healthy, and clearly well-cared for. Thank you so much for your kindness and professionalism—I highly recommend your services to anyone looking for trustworthy and wonderful dog sitters!”

“We were blessed to find Victoria and her sweet family to love our two furry girls while we were away for a whole week. Leaving them with someone I did not know was very stressful. She settled my fears by staying in touch daily and sending pictures. When we picked them up, I could completely see the girls had been loved dearly while I was away. I will absolutely call on Victoria if we need a sitter in the future. XOXO”

About: I have grown up with and lived with pets (dogs and cats) my entire life. For over a decade I have volunteered and fostered animals through a local animal rescue. I have passed on my love for animals to my 15-year-old daughter, Piper. She started sitting for neighboring pets three years ago. Together we would love to meet you and your furry family and provide you with outstanding pet-sitting services. Pets are not just animals, they are family. And many times, we love them more than our human family and they should be treated as such. Thank you for your consideration of our services. I work from home full time and have a fenced in yard. Working from home allows me nearly constant access to care for your dog's every need during their stay with us. Also, my schedule flexibility is perfect for midday drop-in visits and walks as needed. Piper also has availability during evenings and weekends to provide extra snuggles and play time with your furry family members. Our backyard fence is a 4' aluminum fence with custom picket spacing of 2.25" which is perfect for accommodating smaller dogs and puppies. We also have a variety of crates available if your pup prefers their own safe space. We own two small dogs (Yorkie mix and a Maltese) that are very accustomed to strange dogs (fosters and occasional overnight guests) coming through our home. And Piper, who has her own neighborhood pet/house/child sitting service, is usually available to give your fur baby extra snuggles and attention as well.
“Kelly took excellent care of our dog and he had tons of fun! She sent pics and videos daily to let us know how he was doing. Highly recommend and would allow her to keep our furry friend again.”
“Jurnee A FIVE STAR Rover Dog Sitter. Highly recommend. Our first stay over for our Toby since we just moved to Whitestown IN. A very nice and kind sitter. Our Toby loved playing with her dog-friendly puppies. Blessings Steve & Debi”
“Dayna was great with Panny and although it was not a great fit for our dog in particular ( she can be a little old and grumpy) I would highly recommend her skills and sweet personality!”
