“Mallory was great with machiatto and I was given several updates through the trip. She was super accommodating due to unfortunate flight delays as well. Thank you again!!!”
“We recently booked Adrienne for an overnight for our pup Bear. It's always a little scary making a booking in a different city because you don't really have luxury of a meet and greet. I carefully screened potential candidates and settled on Adrienne as a good fit for Bear based on her profile and reviews. We were extremely pleased with Adrienne! Bear always shows a lot through his body language and he was very comfortable with Adrienne right out of the gate! I told her she's a dog whisperer! The care and love she showed for Bear was and is very appreciated. We hope to travel back to the Indianapolis area in the not too distant future and will definitely try to book Adrienne again. We highly recommend her and most importantly, Bear does too!”
“Indy and Lex loved staying with Gerard! They were very comfortable with him and settled into their routine without issues. He was reliable, easy to communicate with, and treated them like his own! Highly recommend!”
“This was our first time using Amy; we went on a short overnight trip. Amy gave us three updates in the time we were away. She also responded quickly when I let her know we were unexpectedly able to pick Zetta up a couple hours earlier than planned. Zetta seemed happy and Amy and her son Eli both seemed taken with her - and Zetta seemed comfortable with them. Amy also seemed conscientious about following the written instructions I’d left for her re: Zetta’s exercise limitations and medication.”
“Bella is a repeat guest with Crystal, mostly because I know she lives as good or better than at home! The whole family loves on her and make sure she is well taken care of. Will definitely continue to book! KC”
“Bethany was the most welcoming and confident host for our 12 yo poodle mix. Our dog has struggled with anxiety for years, so I was excited to see how accepting he was of being dropped off in a new-to-him environment. Bethany’s energy was perfect for his temperament, and I feel lucky to have found her for future visits. She tended to his needs, and even though he had a couple accidents- due to nerves or aging - she took this in gracious stride. We received photos and updates that made our trip away from him feel seamless. We highly recommend her, and will book with Bethany anytime she is available.”
“Thank you to Danielle and family. They all accepted my Suga with open arms and made her feel at home. Suga was happy to see me, and at the same time it was hard for her to leave. I highly recommend them and definitely will be using them in the future.”
“Janay and her family took such great care of our fur baby! I don't think she wanted to come home. I am so grateful we were able to relax on vacation knowing our baby was in good hands. Janey sent plenty of pics and remained in communication our whole stay”
“Candie took great care of Maisie - and put our minds at ease through the holiday. Her pup is a charming and gentle guy, and they got along very well. We will be back!”
“These two were awesome! Cocoa came home to me happy and tired. I was updated with pictures and videos. Very good communication and they were thorough in getting to know Cocoa's needs. I will definitely be using them again.”
“Kailly was awesome for our first weeklong visit with her. Our tiny and slightly anxious papillon easily made friends with the other dogs Kailly was watching and enjoyed being buddies with Kailly's kitties. We saw pics of our pup snoozing on her back, clearly showing her comfort and ease in her new surroundings. Kailly offered regular brushings as we requested, and sent pics daily. We're delighted to have found Kailly and will use her again.”
“Lisa was so sweet and attentive to my senior dog. She gave her the medication she needed for a thunderstorm and sat with my dog to try to calm her during the storm. Lisa is a kind person who truly loves dogs.”
About: Hi there! We’re a dog-loving duo with years of experience and three sweet, well-behaved rescue pups of our own. 🐾 We both work from home, so your pet will receive plenty of attention, love, and care throughout the day. We’ve spent our lives around animals—caring for our own, helping friends and family, and volunteering with the Humane Society’s Dog Day Out program (and multiple years at SPCA Florida). We offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and in-home daycare for friendly pups who get along well with ours. We’re confident in caring for a variety of pets and always take the time to understand each animal’s unique personality and routine. We also provide drop-in visits for cats and currently care for a household of three felines. Whether your pet loves playtime, quiet companionship, or sticking to their usual schedule, we’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home. Your pets will be treated like family—because that’s what they deserve. 🐶🐱❤️ We work remotely with flexible schedules, so we're home throughout the day and available most weekends. We can provide care in the mornings, mid-day, and evenings. We also offer daycare for dogs who get along well with ours. *Sunday availability begins at 2pm. **We are currently at capacity for ongoing, multi-day weekly care (ex. 2+ days a week, every week, indefinitely). We are still open to once a week ongoing care at this time. We prioritize your pet’s safety and comfort, whether visiting them at home or welcoming them into ours. We follow routines closely and provide gentle, attentive care. For daycare, we ensure dogs are well-matched with our three friendly dogs and are supervised. Clean spaces, fresh water, and secure environments are a must. We treat every pet like our own—earning their trust through patience, play, and consistency.
“My dog Kobe had a great experience for 4 days being taken care by Rajesh. Words cannot describe how happy we are and now my dog is missing Rajesh and wants to go back.”
“John took excellent care of Ginger for a few days over the Thanksgiving holiday. She does have a bit of separation anxiety but he made sure she got plenty of attention. Sent us pictures and reports throughout her visit.”
“Nancy was absolutely wonderful with our little buddy. This was our first time using Nancy and won't be our last. She sent us two sets of pictures to put us at ease that he was adjusting to his surroundings. Thanks Nancy & Mike for our trial run.”

Iris was a great communicator throughout and very patient and thorough with the care she provided. Iris exudes a true love and passion for animals. We would highly recommend her to anyone!”
“Elizabeth did a great job of taking care of my cats. She came everyday and sat with them too… a first in pet sitting for me. Incredibly trustworthy, super sweet, and a pleasure to meet; will be booking Elizabeth on my next trip away, for sure!”
“Synthia has been our pet sitter for a few years now and whenever we start planning to leave town she’s the first person we message! She takes care of all our animals and they all love her, she even checked on our chickens!!”

I prioritize safety, comfort, and clear communication, treating every pet with the same level of care I would expect for my own.

Animals are in and out all day long for potty breaks and play breaks outside!

As a requirement for my job, I have completed online training courses for canine behavior and first aid. I am also pet first aid and CPR certified for both cats and dogs. I have 3+ years experience pet sitting at homes for multiple pets. I have experience walking pets as well as doing some basic obedience cues and training.

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.
“Brianna was extremely responsive and went above and beyond what she was required to do. She has a wonderful attitude, very responsible and will definitely be asking her to assist us down the road. Without a doubt I would recommend Brianna to others.”
About: I have experience with cats of all different personalities. As we all know, some cats are more reclusive while others like to be the center of attention. I'm able to get to know your cat and meet them where they are most comfortable. I do love to clean so I'm also open to keeping that litter box clean to ensure things are fresh when you get home.
About: I have lifelong experience caring for cats of all ages and personalities. I currently own 7 cats, including two who are 20 years old and two who are just 4 months old! This has given me experience caring for cats from tiny kittens to senior cats, each with their own unique needs and personalities. I’m comfortable with feeding, cleaning, playtime, giving attention, and making sure every cat feels safe, comfortable, and loved.
“Very attentive and careful while walking my husky that hasn’t always been well behaved on a leash. He even tried working with her to reduce her pulling. Gave her all the attention she needed when she was missing her family! Would absolutely use him again and recommend him to friends and family.”
“Fiona has been absolutely wonderful. I’m not exaggerating to say that she has been a godsend. Her expert care of our older, timid cat could not have been better. She demonstrated patience and kindness with our finicky cat, and she is truly a knowledgeable expert about animal behavior. I had sense of relief knowing our cat was being so well cared for.”
About: I’ve had cats my entire life and currently have two of my own, so I understand that every cat has a completely different personality and comfort level. I’m experienced with feeding, litter box care, playtime, medications, and giving cats plenty of attention while also respecting the ones who prefer their space. I’ll treat your cats like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away.

“Quincy was fantastic. My senior cat has been having health issues and I was very worried about leaving her. Quincy was very knowledgeable though, and I felt sure I was leaving my cat in good hands. Throughout my trip I received photos, videos, and detailed updates. Quincy even left a written summary of the stay for when I got home. I couldn't have asked for more.”

“Megan and Lois have been incredible with Milo! He's very energetic and loves to run, so I love that they have a fenced in backyard where he can run some of that energy off. He is always tired when I pick him up from daycare, which is rare for his breed :) It just shows that he's played hard, and I couldn't be happier with the care that Megan and Lois have given him at daycare. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”

“Had a great experience with Aurora with daycare for my little maltipoo! Very friendly and great communication. Her home was clean, smelled well, and my dog seemed to have enjoyed her time there. I will definitely bring my dog for daycare again in the future.”
“I would highly recommend Marietta! She is watching my 9 week old puppy and she’s is taking amazing care of him. I feel 100 percent comfortable leaving him In her care. She sends me pictures and makes sure he is being active during the day”
“We had a great experience with Heidi! Lots of detailed updates and photos :) Celeste had such a great time there that she’s kind of glum now that she’s back here haha! We hope that Heidi will host Celeste again in future!”
“Stephanie was a welcoming, warm, patient dog watcher for our tiny Papillon who’s mostly been used to just our family. Poppy got over her shyness and felt comfortable with Stephanie’s other dogs pretty quickly, which speaks to how well behaved they are. Scheduling time with Stephanie was easy, and she was flexible as we discussed dates and times. And Poppy got lots of love and good care. Poppy’s looking forward to a couple of overnights in the near future, and my family is grateful to have found such a caring sitter.”
“Veronika is the absolute best! She has watched our dog, Howie, for over one year. She is always super accommodating, allowing us to pick him up at different times according to our needs. She is always available and very responsive. She treats our dog like he is her own. She feeds him and gives him his medications. She takes excellent care of him. I would not trust my dog to anybody else. She has even watched him overnight for an entire week. Absolutely no issues whatsoever. She always sends pictures and updates and keeps us informed of everything. I would highly highly recommend Veronika. She is absolutely amazing.”
“Jinna and Dui kept Nissy for 5 hours today as a way for them to get to know Nissy and vise versa before she stays with them for a week starting this Friday. Jinna sent pictures and a video during the stay to help alleviate my fears (we’ve never left Nissy with anyone but family before). When I picked her up, she was happy and interacting with Jinna’s dog and another dog Jinna was sitting for…which was really a wonderful surprise because Nissy usually just tries to hide from other dogs. Jinna’s house is very clean and pet friendly, she has a great back yard and she is so sweet and gentle, and is obviously very comfortable caring for other people’s pets. I can finally relax and enjoy myself when we can’t take our pup with us knowing she will be loved and well cared for by Jinna!”
About: Since a young age, I've had a passion for animals of all kinds. I've taken care of animals ranging from goldfish to bearded dragons to rabbits to doggies. I love them all, which is why I'm training to be a veterinary technician as I transition out of the technology industry, and eventually into a career as a veterinarian. I work from home full-time and am home pretty much all day, aside from the occasional appointment. So I am available to take your pup on lots of adventures. I can take your dog on a long walk at least once a day. I also live near Fort Ben, and like to dogs on longer hikes on the weekend.
“Highly recommend Stefanie to take care of your dogs! Our girl loves going to daycare and comes back so tired from a day of love and playing. So many pictures taken and she is always quick to communicate. We’ve tried a few different places, and Stefanie is the best — Thank you Stefanie!”
“Amanda was great and Millie had a great time with Porky. She came home exhausted after having several days of playing. Amanda was incredibly accommodating after I booked daycare only instead of boarding. She offered to watch Millie overnight without hesitation. She’s super easy to get ahold of and provides regular updates. Of course Porky kept Millie super busy and having fun!”
“We were so grateful that she was able to help us with a last-minute booking. She was kind, welcoming, and took wonderful care of Joy. It gave us peace of mind knowing Joy was in such good hands. We would love to have Joy stay with her again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Bella had a great time with Christina and her family. She was super flexible and accommodating. The visit went really well and Christina is clearly very experienced with dogs. We really appreciated her letting Bella hang out at her house.”
“Khalie had an awesome time with Brendan and Duke. She’s always super excited to hang out with them all day. Brendan communicates very well and I always enjoyed getting pictures of Khalie playing with Duke. Highly recommend!”

“Indy and Lex loved staying with Gerard! They were very comfortable with him and settled into their routine without issues. He was reliable, easy to communicate with, and treated them like his own! Highly recommend!”
“Bethany was the most welcoming and confident host for our 12 yo poodle mix. Our dog has struggled with anxiety for years, so I was excited to see how accepting he was of being dropped off in a new-to-him environment. Bethany’s energy was perfect for his temperament, and I feel lucky to have found her for future visits. She tended to his needs, and even though he had a couple accidents- due to nerves or aging - she took this in gracious stride. We received photos and updates that made our trip away from him feel seamless. We highly recommend her, and will book with Bethany anytime she is available.”
“Thank you to Danielle and family. They all accepted my Suga with open arms and made her feel at home. Suga was happy to see me, and at the same time it was hard for her to leave. I highly recommend them and definitely will be using them in the future.”
“Candie took great care of Maisie - and put our minds at ease through the holiday. Her pup is a charming and gentle guy, and they got along very well. We will be back!”
“These two were awesome! Cocoa came home to me happy and tired. I was updated with pictures and videos. Very good communication and they were thorough in getting to know Cocoa's needs. I will definitely be using them again.”
“Kailly was awesome for our first weeklong visit with her. Our tiny and slightly anxious papillon easily made friends with the other dogs Kailly was watching and enjoyed being buddies with Kailly's kitties. We saw pics of our pup snoozing on her back, clearly showing her comfort and ease in her new surroundings. Kailly offered regular brushings as we requested, and sent pics daily. We're delighted to have found Kailly and will use her again.”
“Lisa was so sweet and attentive to my senior dog. She gave her the medication she needed for a thunderstorm and sat with my dog to try to calm her during the storm. Lisa is a kind person who truly loves dogs.”
About: Hi there! We’re a dog-loving duo with years of experience and three sweet, well-behaved rescue pups of our own. 🐾 We both work from home, so your pet will receive plenty of attention, love, and care throughout the day. We’ve spent our lives around animals—caring for our own, helping friends and family, and volunteering with the Humane Society’s Dog Day Out program (and multiple years at SPCA Florida). We offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and in-home daycare for friendly pups who get along well with ours. We’re confident in caring for a variety of pets and always take the time to understand each animal’s unique personality and routine. We also provide drop-in visits for cats and currently care for a household of three felines. Whether your pet loves playtime, quiet companionship, or sticking to their usual schedule, we’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home. Your pets will be treated like family—because that’s what they deserve. 🐶🐱❤️ We work remotely with flexible schedules, so we're home throughout the day and available most weekends. We can provide care in the mornings, mid-day, and evenings. We also offer daycare for dogs who get along well with ours. *Sunday availability begins at 2pm. **We are currently at capacity for ongoing, multi-day weekly care (ex. 2+ days a week, every week, indefinitely). We are still open to once a week ongoing care at this time. We prioritize your pet’s safety and comfort, whether visiting them at home or welcoming them into ours. We follow routines closely and provide gentle, attentive care. For daycare, we ensure dogs are well-matched with our three friendly dogs and are supervised. Clean spaces, fresh water, and secure environments are a must. We treat every pet like our own—earning their trust through patience, play, and consistency.
“My dog Kobe had a great experience for 4 days being taken care by Rajesh. Words cannot describe how happy we are and now my dog is missing Rajesh and wants to go back.”
“John took excellent care of Ginger for a few days over the Thanksgiving holiday. She does have a bit of separation anxiety but he made sure she got plenty of attention. Sent us pictures and reports throughout her visit.”
“Nancy was absolutely wonderful with our little buddy. This was our first time using Nancy and won't be our last. She sent us two sets of pictures to put us at ease that he was adjusting to his surroundings. Thanks Nancy & Mike for our trial run.”
“Karen is so kind and was so extremely patient with our Peach. Peach has a lot of separation anxiety, and Karen was awesome in dealing with that. Karen really treats your pup like her own. We got lots of detailed updates and pictures. We will definitely use Karen again.”
“Veronika did a great job taking care of our boys. She was very responsive throughout the entire process and we also enjoyed her daily updates on how they were doing during their stay.”
“We were so pleased to have Jane take care of our dog over the holidays. She provided daily photos, videos and updates. Milo was clearly happy in her care and we would definitely have him stay with her again!”
“Joshua provided exceptional service, demonstrating excellent communication and attentiveness to my fur baby skin allergies. He proactively provided updates and even sent a photograph. I highly recommend his services and will certainly utilize them again.”
“Heather was absolutely wonderful with Leo while we were away on our trip to Punta Cana! She took such great care of him and gave us complete peace of mind knowing he was in loving and capable hands. She was great at keeping us posted, and clearly treated Leo like he was her own. We came home to a happy and well-cared-for pup. We’re so grateful to Heather and would absolutely trust her with Leo again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone caring, responsible, and trustworthy to look after their dog. Thank you, Heather!”
