“Crystal went above and beyond for our Teddy! She was very welcoming and we loved getting all the updates and pictures. We highly recommend her caring for any dog!!”
“Mallory was phenomenal watching Mozzie on a last minute booking. Sent pictures and kept us up to date on what he was doing. Taking him out to the dog park and playing with other puppers. Even sent him home with some dog treats :) highly highly recommend. If I come back to Indiana and need a sitter, she’s who I would book every time.”
“Kyungyeon was above and beyond the most incredible sitter for our Copper!! We got so many updates and made sure our boy was happy and comfortable the whole time!!!! We are so thankful!!”
“Ernie didn’t skip a beat while with Bethany. I appreciate that she was flexible with a schedule that kept changing due to emergency. Sweet family and furry friends .”
“We received peace of mind by daily checkins with pictures or videos of our little pup. Our Daisy girl was in very good capable loving hands with Gabriel. We highly recommend him and will plan on booking him again if we need it.”
“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.”
“Kailly is amazing and we couldn’t have asked for someone more caring to watch our dog, Ripley, while we were out of town! Ripley is a rescue and we’ve only had her for a few months. After one bad experience leaving her, we were nervous to go away again. Kailly worked with us to make sure that Ripley felt comfortable, and understood that it may take a few days for her to warm up to being somewhere new. Needless to say, Ripley had a wonderful time away and we had complete peace of mind! Kailly is communicative, loves dogs, has a lovely fenced in yard and a clean home. We are already in talks about the next time she will dogsit for us.”
“Karen totally spoiled my babies! They lounged all day on her couch (except when running around with fellow boarders in her fenced back yard) and slept in her bed at night. They can't wait for me to leave town again so they can go back ?”
“My dogs have never had such an easy drop off! They instantly bonded with Julie’s friendly dogs and went off to explore. A great experience for our dogs. We’ll look to book again with Julie!”
“Jody was great! He took great care of Pickles! He took into consideration the heat of the day and didn't let him stay outside for too long. He kept us apprised of how Pickles was doing each morning and evening along with pictures. He was patient in answering questions that were asked and knowledgeable in understanding needs and met those needs. Will definitely ask him to take Pickles again.”
“Katia was so awesome and took care of my husky Ethel for 5 days while I was out of town. She came home so happy and exhausted. 10/10 She accommodate us last minute which was super sweet of her.”
“Amy has a beautiful home where she watched our dog for a week while we were out of town. Our dog can sometimes be timid of new places/faces, but not with Amy. She took great care of him and we saw this in the photo updates she shared. She works from home so your dog almost always has someone to keep them company. We can’t thank Amy enough. Absolutely, we plan to use her again. (This was our second time using her)”
“Clara did a really good job at taking care of my two boys. I could noticeably tell they were both calm and relaxed when I picked them up. I will definitely rebook. Thank you Clara”
“Danielle was very friendly; I was able to do a meet and greet with her entire family. The dogs were well taken cared for and loved. Danielle is well organized and allows the dogs to have free roam of her house and yard.”
“When we picked up Shadow from her stay, she came back to us exactly how we left her—happy, healthy, and full of energy. All her needs were taken care of, from mealtime and naps to plenty of playtime in the backyard, which made us feel really at ease knowing she was so well looked after.”
“Kristen took in our Rey (1yo Dachshund) during our time away during the holidays on short notice. Such a relief to have had Rey stay in the care of a very nice home and family. Will definitely look for Kristen again in the future!”

“Our energetic Doodle could not have been in better hands. My wife often worries about using overcrowded and overstimulating pet daycare. We’re so glad we found Ellie (and her dog Red!). Luna is so happy to go there and we have no doubt she is safe. Bonus that she still comes home tired from all her fun!”
“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.”

About: I volunteer and foster regularly with Homer's Helpers. I have experience with special needs animals ranging from diabetes, epilepsy, fear aggression, and severe separation anxiety.Any pets that stay in our home must be good with other dogs and cats as we have several in our home. I have a passion for animals of all shapes and sizes and have experience with small animals, reptiles, birds (large and small), and horses in addition to dogs and cats. I have had dogs since I was born. I have fostered many different breeds, from mutts, to pit bulls, to Great Pyrenees. Our dogs are Copper (Pom mix 12.5 lbs), Dexter (Golden Retriever 50lbs), and Versace (Pom mix 4.2lbs). All dogs that come to our home must be 30lbs or under as we don't want to risk our littles getting injured when they play. Our front yard is 1500sqft fully fenced and I have secured chicken wire to the bottom to ensure small dogs can't squeeze through. Our backyard is 500sqft fully privacy fenced, so we are able to accommodate dogs that could jump a 3ft. Our homes exterior is completely covered in security cameras so I can monitor the dogs at all times even if they are not in my immediate line of site. I am certified in dog and cat CPR/first aid through PetTech. I recently began a dog grooming apprenticeship. I am very comfortable giving medication, be it pills or injections I know how to do it. Any dogs that board in our home will be given a complementary "Night Night Cookie" as we call it. A buddy biscuit before bed. They are a healthy treat with no corn, wheat, or soy and come in many different flavors for dogs with different allergies. Dogs who board will be kenneled at night, we have crates available for use that are sanitized after each dog. We also feed meals in crates to avoid food aggression. I also offer Boss Dog frozen yogurt for $3 a serving and organic bone broth as a treat or food topper for $2. I can provide a lickimat or Kong filled with organic peanut butter for $2. I am able to provide Blackwood kibble for $2 a day if you forget to pack their regular kibble. We do also have a freezer that we can store raw food if needed. All dogs who board/play in our home must be up to date on vaccines or have a recent tider test. All dogs must be on current HW and flea prevention to be able to come to our home. We also have a dog treadmill that we can have dog boarding with us use to ensure adequate excercise during their stay. All dogs who board/play in our home must be up to date on vaccines or have a recent tider test, this is the policy of the rescue I work with in order to maintain my foster status. I have security cameras on the exterior of my home with all of both yards visible. I am planning on adding cameras in every room in the house. Dogs are crated to eat their meals to prevent food aggression. Toys are not made available until I have monitored how all the dogs in the home interact together on multiple occasions to ensure there is no resource guarding. All cabinets and closets are child locked so no dog is able to open them and get into anything they shouldn't. All dogs who board/play in our home must be up to date on vaccines or have a recent tider test. All dogs must be on current HW and flea prevention to be able to come to our home.

“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.”
“Kailly is amazing and we couldn’t have asked for someone more caring to watch our dog, Ripley, while we were out of town! Ripley is a rescue and we’ve only had her for a few months. After one bad experience leaving her, we were nervous to go away again. Kailly worked with us to make sure that Ripley felt comfortable, and understood that it may take a few days for her to warm up to being somewhere new. Needless to say, Ripley had a wonderful time away and we had complete peace of mind! Kailly is communicative, loves dogs, has a lovely fenced in yard and a clean home. We are already in talks about the next time she will dogsit for us.”

“Jody was great! He took great care of Pickles! He took into consideration the heat of the day and didn't let him stay outside for too long. He kept us apprised of how Pickles was doing each morning and evening along with pictures. He was patient in answering questions that were asked and knowledgeable in understanding needs and met those needs. Will definitely ask him to take Pickles again.”
