Personalized care for your dog or cat - Dolan
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Dolan
“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.”
“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!”
“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”
“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!”
“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!”
About: I’ve grown up around animals my whole life, from dogs and cats to lizards and frogs, so caring for pets comes naturally to me. I’m an active college student who loves being outdoors, especially hiking and long walks near the parks around me. Whether your pet wants to play, explore, or just relax with some cuddles, I’ll make sure they feel loved and cared for! My schedule is very flexible, which makes pet care easy to fit into my week. I currently work part-time as a hostess, but I’m usually available Monday through Friday throughout the day. Starting June 8, I will be in summer classes Monday-Friday 9 AM to 12 PM. If you need care outside those times, feel free to reach out. I’m happy to work something out! I live in a spacious apartment with access to a fenced-in rooftop yard where pets can safely play and get fresh air. I’m also close to Griffy Lake, so your dog can enjoy fun walks and outdoor adventures with me. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved.
“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!”
“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.”

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.
“Kelli watched our two dogs over Christmas for us. It was our puppies first time being away from us and Kelli went above and beyond to help her feel comfortable. She was timely in keeping us updated every day with texts and pictures and easing our minds that our dogs where dong great! Highly recommended!”
“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.”

“Shaun was amazing and he truly went above and beyond. I would recommended him to anyone. He took such great care of our cat and sent pictures and videos and really bonded with Merlin. I would book him again anytime!”
“Sara was a fantastic sitter for our two cats! She went above and beyond to take excellent care of our pets and our home, sent detailed updates, and is kind and caring and professional as can be. Thank you, Sara!”
“Cindy was a huge help for us over the holidays. She made sure to give our energetic cat plenty of play time and our senior cat lots of pets and attention. She asked great questions during our meet and greet. I loved the detailed care reports she left after each visit with great pictures. She obviously has had a lot of experience with many different kinds of animals and I felt at ease having her care for our cats.”
“Madison was great with our puppy, she did drop in vista. While caring for our dog, she played fetch with her while allowing her plenty of time to do her business outside. She was great with sending pictures and very responsive with text messages.”
“Lucy did a wonderful job with our pack of kitties and provided frequent updates. She was wonderful and patient with them all, and did a great job managing the medicine schedule for one. We look forward to having her back!”
“Katie was great! Consistently sent the Rover Cards so I could see that Percy was doing well. She responded to any questions I had about Percy's behavior, mood and eating habits. She also responded quickly if I reached out via text. Would def recommend her!”
“One of our longest times away from home in recent years. Brittney’s care of our two cats was outstanding. They are used to her by now and appreciate her expert care as do we! Thank you, Brittney!”
“Deborah is awesome. My Frenchie puppy loves her and she is consistent and reliable. Communication is easy and she replies back quickly as well. I would highly recommend her :)”
“Sarah saved our lives! We moved to Bloomington shortly after getting married and dont know anybody in town to watch our cats who are basically our children. She really goes above and beyond.”
About: While in college my roommate had a cat. He neglected his cat, he wouldn't change his litter box, and would spray him with a water bottle whenever he did something "naughty". I ended up cleaning the litter box. And his cat ended liking me more than him. Cats hold a special place in my heart, their goofy, curious, and sometimes sassy attitudes are endlessly entertaining. I would love the opportunity to be of service to you and your lovely kitty!
“Paul was great watching our house and two cats for a week! He sent pictures and updates every night, asked questions about anything we'd forgotten to put in our notes, and bonded well with both cats. Even from the meet-and-greet, it was clear he was going to be a good fit, because our cat that is scared of strangers didn't feel the need to go hide from him; and it was clear from the updates that she got very comfortable with him while he was staying. When we got home, the cats were happy and healthy, and the house was spotless. Thank you, Paul!”
About: • I have always had a close connection to cats and have been the official cat sitter in my family as well as with my family friends. I am a current owner of three cats and have fostered kittens and taken care of elderly cats. Cats are miraculously unique creatures with their own particular habits, and I always want to ensure I am able to make them as comfortable as possible. Cats can often be seen as “easy” animals that don’t need much attention, but I disagree. When watching cats, I always try to spend quality time with them, whether that be playing with more energetic and playful cats, or just sitting in the same room as more shy cats. I always bring the mindset that each cat is unique in their own way, and that their personality is important to take into account when being trusted to care for them.
About: I have had up to 6 cats at one time. I used to volunteer at the Bloomington animal shelter and specifically loved working in the neonatal unit. I’ve fostered many kittens, and take great joy in bottle feeding and caring for them. My cat and dog both get along with other cats and would be thrilled to have your baby visit.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 14. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets I’m currently a student at Indiana University and I am home for the summer so I have plenty of time to care for your pets! I have a fenced yard and I have had a dog my whole life and have dog sat and dog walked for many friends and family members.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Dolan
“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”
“"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!”
“Our dogs loved their time at Kelli's! She is very friendly and obviously loves dogs. Kelli provided photos and updates during the day and is really communicative. Her fenced-in back yard provides a great opportunity for the dogs to romp around. Our dogs were worn out from playing and having such a good time! I would definitely love to use Kelli again.”
“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!”
“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”
“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.”
About: I am a loving trustworthy pet sitter with 10 years experience watching family, friends, and neighbors animals. My experience in training, exercise, play time, boarding, and spoiling set me apart and provide your animals the best care possible while you are away! I watch dogs full time. I am able to devote any range of attention and care that your animal needs. I can come to you or your pet can come to me. I have a loving home with lots of toys to fit your animals needs. I keep the animals inside and prefer to let them be free and comfortable. I have found that using a blanket, shirt, or bed from home usually helps when boarding that they can cuddle with, or I can use a crate if your animal is more comfortable that way. I have the ability to separate animals if your animal requires one on one love :) I do this full time and just started an in home kennel! I can do home visits, doggy daycare, and boarding at any time or day that fits your schedule! I have home on 3 acres out in the country with 2 fenced in areas, along with an outdoor inclosed kennel. I take animals on walks and we love spending time outside when the weather permits! I always keep them on a leash when we’re outside for the safety of the animals.
About: I absolutely love all animals. I have daily experience with my own two dogs, a 3 year old male australian healer and a 2 year old male lab retriever mix. I will take great care of your fur babies like they are my own. I take them outside for 5-10 minutes once every few hours for potty breaks. I feed them and take them on a walk first thing in the morning after I wake up and right before bed. Throughout the day I play with them inside or outside depending on the weather. I train them for at least 30 minutes a day using treats and techniques I’ve learned in dog training classes. I will rotate there toys as well to keep them interesting and engaging, as well as use dog training puzzles for mental stimulation. I have been taking care of dogs, cats, and other animals since I was 11 years old. There were always pets in my home growing up, and it was always my responsibility to take care of them after I turned 11 years old. Once I moved out at 19, I had my own dog, and got a second one a year later. They are the best dogs, and I am so grateful to be there dog mom! I am a stay at home dog mom who would love to help fellow animal parents in need! I have a lot of time on my hands, so I’d love to spend time helping animals in my community! In my home i have two dogs, a 3 year old male australian healer and a 2 year old male lab retriever mix. I take them outside for 5-10 minutes once every few hours for potty breaks. I feed them and take them on a walk first thing in the morning after I wake up and right before bed. Throughout the day I play with them inside or outside depending on the weather.

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 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!

About: I own a King Charles Cavalier and a German Shepherd currently! I grew up on a farm in southern Indiana with multiple foster and adopted animals! My mother instilled a serious love and adoration for people and their favorite pets. I volunteered at our local animal shelter, was trained in multiple animal science courses, and was taught to love and respect the animals I work with, both domesticated and exotic. I have handled dogs, cats, reptiles, rodents, foxes, raccoons, bobcats, farm livestock, petting zoo animals, and more. I love them and have tons of professional experience to give your fur-baby the best experience possible. Please feel free to message or call whenever needed and I am more then happy to accommodate ANYTHING you or your sweet pet needs. I have lots of time on my hands, currently we start our mornings with a good meal and a long walk along our neighborhood. We will head to the house for a quick nap or so that our older dogs and puppies can rest. We then head to either the local state park or a dog park for some new stimulation. When we return home, we have some free time with toys and puzzles, enjoy another good meal, take another long, walk around the neighborhood, and then cuddle on the couch or in the beds until bedtime. I don’t have a fence in yard however, we have multiple leashes here as well as one that you would prefer to use. All of our animals are continuously monitored, I work part-time, and we also have cameras in the house. Feel free to request photos or videos of your baby at any point in time.

About: I’ve pet sat since age 10, having 3 dogs of my own growing up. I have pet sit for neighbors, friends, and family through the years Im a student, but my schedule is pretty flexible! I’m a student athlete at IU, and an animal behavior major. Feel free to reach out about scheduling! I make sure to follow your specific instructions carefully such as potty breaks when needed, feeding times, play time, locking up the crates(if applicable), etc
About: I’ve been around pets my whole life, my mom managed vet offices and shelters so I was never without (at least) 2 dogs and 4 cats. I started fostering puppies and kittens on my own when I was 10. Currently the mom of a sweet orange tabby. I would love to give your pets the love, play, and care they deserve when you’re away! I’m currently available all day, everyday for your furry friends! If needed, I even have availability to stay over night. I’m particularly a fan of morning walks :) I am very detail oriented, will follow your directions to a T, and reach out with any questions. You know what’s best for your pets! I have experience in childcare, so I know safety always comes first. Also, with my volunteer work at shelters, I understand how to calm grumpy dogs and cats down (and get their zoomies out, so you don’t come home to a gremlin!)
“Savannah was great this week with my little dog, Chloe. She was prompt and communicative. Chloe normally takes some time to warm up to new people but made fast friends with her.”
About: I’ve been around pets all my life. Whether it has been through friends, grandparents or neighbors, I have helped care for dogs and cats alike! I enjoy getting to help out and spend time with them. I am fairly available during the week days for a drop in as I work in the early mornings and late afternoons at IU. I am also available for evening drop ins after 5. I care for pets in my home just as I would my own pet! Drop ins would work best for me as I am in at apartment currently!
About: I have taken care of my own pets since I was young including dogs, cats, fish, bunnies, and hamsters.

I am great at communicating how your pet is doing and can be a safe environment to build your pets trust.
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’ve grown up around animals my whole life, from dogs and cats to lizards and frogs, so caring for pets comes naturally to me.

I have a fenced yard and I have had a dog my whole life and have dog sat and dog walked for many friends and family members.
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have had experience with pups of all walks of life. As I got older, my friends got cats and I love a good kitty snuggle. I’m the friend that checks on the animals when you have to go out or hit up vacation! I work full time but work from home partially through the week! Usually available most weekday evenings after 5pm and would be available on set weekends for additional care beginning in the afternoons. I have a large fenced in backyard and work from home part of the week. I also have a separate area for crating, if needed. My own pup, Cricket, would love to have a buddy even now and again!
About: I’ve had a pet since I was 8. I had a little toy poodle for most of my childhood, his name is Gideon. And now I currently have two cats, Moose and Squid. I’ve walked many different kinds of dogs from toy poodles, to big labradors and Germans Shepards. I’m careful of where I walk when I do walk the dog and I make sure to bring water for both of us. I’m proficient in all of the basics when it comes to dogs and cats at this point. I’m basically a go-to, can’t go wrong, option for people looking for a sitter who can handle it all. It fits super easily. I currently only run and I don’t have any other job at the moment as I am a college student staying for the summer to complete a class. I like to know where my cats are almost always. If I can’t find one, I look for a little and usually find them in a new hiding spot. I trust them outside on the top deck patio because they just watch birds, but it took a while for them to earn that trust. But I would never let anyone’s cat I wasn’t familiar with outside, unless I was told to. Nothing hazardous/toxic to cats is left out or used around the house.
About: I have taken care of animals my whole life. I have always had at least one cat, and had dogs for 17 years of my life. I have also taken care of family and friends’ pets while they are out of town plenty of times. I am available all day every day for any kind of pet needs, and I can house cats overnight, however, I am unable to house dogs overnight. I am within walking distance of a dog park, and can bring animals inside or outside, whichever their needs are. I can also keep and transfer pets inside crates as needed.
About: I’ve loved caring for pets since childhood and have been sitting professionally for the past several years. I offer house visits and dog walking, with experience caring for dogs, cats, reptiles, and other small animals. I am trained in Pet Care First Aid and have experience administering medications and giving injections. Previously, I worked with PAWSome Pet Sitting and now provide independent care in town. I can’t wait to meet your pets! I am available throughout the week and on weekends, offering flexible scheduling to provide your pets with consistent, reliable care whenever you need extra support. I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and respect in every home, ensuring that pets are cared for in a secure, comfortable environment while following all client instructions.
About: Training and caring for cats and dogs alike from a young age, I have a way with animals that is forged by trust and love. I see animals as individuals, and I believe in second chances (especially with little ones). Whether your animal is a newborn or a 15-year-old, my attention to detail is the same. Being a full-time student, I have a class schedule that is easy to work around as I schedule breaks around lunch and dinner times. Unless otherwise noted, I am free most evenings as well! Not to mention, I am a natural early riser, so maintaining your animal’s everyday schedule will be no issue. Giving them all of the love I can is crucial to our relationship and trust. Even for a walk, maintaining their normal habits is important. Whether staying at the house or not, being with the animal when they wake up (and when they go to sleep) is essential for me if watching for extended periods of time!
About: I have been surrounded by dogs since I was 5 years old, and I’ve loved them ever since. I have taken care of my own dog frequently for 7 years, but I have also taken care of dogs for relatives, ranging from puppies to elderly dogs. I am a graduate student at Indiana University, so my class schedule is much lighter. I am able to walk the dogs during the day, and at night. In your home, I can crate your dogs as well as keep them safe and comfortable while making sure that there is nothing dangerous to them.
“Cindy and her daughter did an absolutely amazing job walking Travi! They were super friendly, patient, and clearly have a natural way with dogs. Travi was so happy and comfortable with them, which gave us complete peace of mind. Their communication was excellent — keeping us updated throughout the walk and ensuring everything went smoothly. It’s clear they genuinely care about the dogs they walk, treating them as if they were their own. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend Cindy and her daughter to anyone looking for reliable, caring dog walkers!”
About: I’ve always loved animals and have seen them like babies. Because that’s what fur babies are to me, children. So being able to help others with their babies is awesome to me! When it comes to my schedule I’m pretty flexible with what days and times I can do since I’m a student. I can also do weekends if necessary also. I can do whatever is needed to help your animal to make sure they are safe and get in the right amount of fun and care they need.

“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.”
“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!”
“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”
“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!”
“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!”
About: I’ve grown up around animals my whole life, from dogs and cats to lizards and frogs, so caring for pets comes naturally to me. I’m an active college student who loves being outdoors, especially hiking and long walks near the parks around me. Whether your pet wants to play, explore, or just relax with some cuddles, I’ll make sure they feel loved and cared for! My schedule is very flexible, which makes pet care easy to fit into my week. I currently work part-time as a hostess, but I’m usually available Monday through Friday throughout the day. Starting June 8, I will be in summer classes Monday-Friday 9 AM to 12 PM. If you need care outside those times, feel free to reach out. I’m happy to work something out! I live in a spacious apartment with access to a fenced-in rooftop yard where pets can safely play and get fresh air. I’m also close to Griffy Lake, so your dog can enjoy fun walks and outdoor adventures with me. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved.
“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!”
“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.”
“Maddie had such a good time with Isabella! She was so gentle and caring, and made sure Maddie got plenty of walks and attention. I highly recommend her- she'll take great care of your pets and put your mind at ease.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 14. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets I’m currently a student at Indiana University and I am home for the summer so I have plenty of time to care for your pets! I have a fenced yard and I have had a dog my whole life and have dog sat and dog walked for many friends and family members.
“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.”
“Kelli watched our two dogs over Christmas for us. It was our puppies first time being away from us and Kelli went above and beyond to help her feel comfortable. She was timely in keeping us updated every day with texts and pictures and easing our minds that our dogs where dong great! Highly recommended!”
“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
