“Hope felt very comfortable with Katelin even before I left! Katelin sent lots of photos of Hope’s time with her and all the other doggos, and it was obvious Hope was possibly having an even better time than I was on my trip! 😂 I will absolutely have Hope stay with her again if needed in the future.”
“Lyndsey overshot all my expectations. She took such good care of our senior dog. She sent pictures and the run-down of her day including her medication administration. I would definitely recommend her to anyone.”
“Lanae did an awesome job with sending us pictures and letting us know that Molly was having a great time. We will definitely be using Lanae again, if the need arises, when we are in the area. Thanks again for a great job!”
“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.”
“Kelsi did a fantastic job! She sent us several pics daily with captions. She has a nice big yard for the dogs to play in. Would definitely recommend and hope to be able to book with her in the future!”
“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!”
“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!”

“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.”
“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!”

“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!”

About: I have owned pets all my life and always hated boarding my pets due to the stress they endure thats why I offer my services. I also offer care for cats and small animals such as rabbits, guinea pigs ect. As of right now I am available anytime. Ive worked at vet clinics and volunteered at shelters. Ive taken care of senior dogs, hyper and young dogs. Also have administered meds to animals. Recently I have watched farm animals such as chickens,goats,horses and a Llama. I currently have 4 dogs of my own and 2 of my moms dogs. We have 1 cat. Ive had several dogs and 2 other cats in the past as well as 2 rabbits.

I am currently doing this as my full time employment as I go to school for pet grooming in the spring. I am an owner to 4 crazy beagles so I know what it's like to make sure pets have the stress free environment when we are gone. All pet care is done in the client's home. This creates more calmness within the pet and less stress. They can be where they are used to.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all ages and sizes. I love animals and I love being active so your dog will be sufficiently walked. I’ve been entrusted to give animals medications, including shots during some of my sitting experiences, so I am familiar with that.

I am a salaried employee at my job, so I am available to take your dog out throughout the day. If I am gone for work, it’s only about 2-4 hours at my actually office building. I live in Warsaw, so I’m close to Winona Lake, Grace College, and the lake itself. I have two cats of my own, so I’m not currently boarding animals at my house, but am able to do drop in visits, house sitting jobs and dog walking jobs!
“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. I receive notification when she arrived, she sent pictures and received a notice when she was finished. I've already made plans to use her again. I'm lucky to have found somebody who genuinely enjoys pets as much as she does.”

“Hope felt very comfortable with Katelin even before I left! Katelin sent lots of photos of Hope’s time with her and all the other doggos, and it was obvious Hope was possibly having an even better time than I was on my trip! 😂 I will absolutely have Hope stay with her again if needed in the future.”

About: I have 12+ yrs of dog handling experience. Ranging from shelter dog foster and rehabilitation. 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. We have since moved and hope to have a similar facility once again when schedules allow. As the owner of a small hobby farm with acreage I have time to dedicate to my own animals and those in my care. I sim to be as flexible as possible. We strive to provide an enriching and engaging environment for all dogs in our care. They will be treated as if one of our own. All dogs will receive appropriate exercise and mental stimulation with added bonus of home comforts.
“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!”
“We loved Amanda and her son Bailey. They treated our dog (Marley) as though he was a part of their family. When we first met with Amanda and Bailey, we knew they would be a good fit to watch and care for our Marley while we were out of town. They both made us feel comfortable and more importantly, they made Marley feel comfortable. Throughout Marley’s stay with Amanda/Bailey, several pictures were shared with us and he looked so happy - this really assured us as well that we made the right choice by choosing Amanda to care for him. When we picked Marley up, Amanda went over all the activities they had done - we were just so excited and well pleased with the love and care she gave him.”
