“Missy took amazing care of my lab while I was on vacation. She was incredible with communicating and sending pictures of my dog while I was away. Would highly recommend!”
“Elizabeth & Philip took care of our Lexi like she was one of their own. It was our first time leaving our dog under someone else’s care. They gave us peace of mind and updates on her care. We really appreciated it. They will always be our first choice in the future. Highly recommend!!!”
“Heather is amazing! We went on a two week vacation and knowing our little bubby was having a great time and being well taken care of made it so much easier and removed the guilt of not being able to take him with us. Thanks so much Heather!”
“Beth took wonderful care of our dogs while we were out of town. She sent pictures daily and anecdotal notes to us. We knew they were in good care and didn’t have to worry one bit!! We will definitely contact her again if we need someone to watch them while we’re out of town! ❤️❤️❤️”
“Abi was amazing with Tater! Everything went perfect from the pre-visit, drop off, stay and pick up. Abi sent updates and pictures every day and throughout the day. We never had to reach out and ask how Tater was doing. We had to ask to extend Taters stay due to our flight being cancelled and rebooked. Abi was super flexible and allowed us to extend our stay. Tater was happy and relaxed when we picked her up from Abi. This was such a great experience! We will definitely be rebooking with Abi the next time we need a sitter for Tater.”
“Stephen and Angela are absolutely great! Watched our pups during our wedding weekend and was at total ease. I was sent pictures of them everyday along with a reassuring message. Thank y’all so much!”
“Our 2 dogs had an amazing time with Megan, Axel and the family. We appreciated the attention to detail of what our dogs needed, and the pictures sent of them. They really enjoyed themselves and were wore out from playing with Axel and one another while we were away. Would highly recommend Meagan for your pet’s booking needs. We will book again forsure!”
“I had an amazing experience with Jen, and so did my dog Pearl. Pearl is an anxious pup but Jen went above and beyond to keep her calm and happy. I got a ton of photo updates and just felt so relieved and happy knowing that my dog was having a great time while I was away!”
“I had to find a sitter last minute and so happy I was able to find Cody. He was a great sitter, kept me informed and very down to earth person. This was my first time going through an animal sitter service but I will definitely book again.. with Cody ❤️”
“Erin and George have an awesome set up and are great sitters. My two teenage pups had a blast playing outside and getting 1:1 attention. I’d highly recommend!!!”
“Crystal is amazing! She made my family and our furry kid feel comfortable. She will provide lots of photos and her communication is top tier. She is now our go to sitter for Charlie. Thank you Crystal!!”
About: I’ve been a dog owner most of my life and truly understand how much pets are part of the family. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities—both my own and those of friends and family. I’ve provided overnight care as well as extended daytime stays, and I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, and giving pets the attention they need to feel safe and happy. I know how important it is to have someone you trust watching your pet, so I treat every dog like my own—with patience, consistency, and lots of love. I’m reliable, communicative, and happy to follow any specific instructions to keep your dog comfortable and on their normal routine. When caring for dogs, I focus on consistency and comfort. Before the stay, I like to learn your dog’s daily schedule—feeding times, walk routines, favorite activities, and any special needs. During their stay, I stick as closely as possible to that routine so they feel secure and less stressed. I also take time to get to know each dog’s personality and energy level, whether they love to play or prefer a quieter environment. You can expect regular communication and updates so you feel confident your dog is in good hands. Safety and trust are extremely important to me when caring for your pet. My home provides a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment where dogs can feel comfortable and secure. I have a fully fenced-in yard for safe outdoor play and potty breaks, and I always supervise dogs while they’re outside. I’m careful about doors, gates, and interactions to ensure your pet stays safe at all times. I’m also happy to follow any specific instructions you have to maintain your dog’s routine and comfort. You can count on updates so you feel confident while you’re away.
“First time using Tayla. She was quick to respond to my request. Even though I only left my dog for one night, I appreciate that she sent several pics and updates. He must have had fun because he has been asleep since we got home. I felt really comfortable with the care she provided and plan to use her again soon.”
“Lola had an amazing time with Melissa and her family! They sent lots of pictures and updates throughout her stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear Lola was treated like part of the family and received lots of love and attention. I would absolutely recommend Melissa to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter, and we would definitely book with them again!”
“They took great care of our pups during the holidays. We are very grateful for them!! They kept us updated while we were away, we would rebook with them and highly recommend:)”

“Daniel did a great job taking to my cat Mavka. He did more than the minimum and was sure to give Mavka lots of attention. I felt comfortable entrusting the care of my cat to him.”
“This was my first time using a pet sitter and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for my cats. I was nervous about leaving them but was able to enjoy my trip without worrying, thanks to Debbie. She gave daily updates and was very kind and accommodating in our interactions. I highly recommend Debbie and am looking forward to working with her again for our future trips!”

For house sitting I am available from the time I get to your home from work until the time I go back to work the next day and then any time I'm not working you can expect me to be at your home. I am a very trustworthy person especially when it comes to others and there pets. My animals are my children so I only give them the upmost care they deserve and even though some would disagree I totally spoil them too. Animals have always had such a special place in my heart and I feel like I was born to care for them.
“Mary went above and beyond to care for our cat. Our cat is very skiddish around new people, but Mary took her time to be patient and let Callie warm up to her. We really appreciated her thoroughness and reliability. Followed all instructions to a tee and provided great daily updates. Highly recommend booking Mary!”
About: Fairly recent to having a cat, but I have watched over friends and families cats in the past, so I have some prior experience. I also currently have two twin brothers, named Gingerbread and Snowball. Also was able to train my cats to get along with my dog.

I have cared for rabbits, hamsters, and even frogs. With my dogs I have experience managing medications and special diets. I wake up every day with my Great Danes and hamster so daily pet care is just a part of what I do. I have a flexible schedule and am happy to take care of pets any day of the week. I will follow your instructions to ensure each pet is cared for in the way they are familiar. I can take them on walks, give them play time inside or out and lots of cuddles.
“Jen took great care of my cat, Callie, while I was away. The regular updates and pictures she sent me made it much easier for me to enjoy my trip without worrying about Callie’s wellbeing. Would definitely recommend booking Jen!”

We have three dogs and three cats, so it is a full house right now! Obviously, safety always comes first, second to having fun with your pup!
“Bayley did a great job taking care of our cats while we were out of town! She followed all the instructions on our guide, sent proof-of-life pictures on every drop-in, and consistently communicated about the timing of her visits. It was such a relief to know our fur babies were in good hands so we could enjoy our trip :)”
“Lori is amazing. She visited consistently, cleaned his food dishes, played with him, and sent me the cutest pictures and comments. I will ask for her in the future, hope she can work us in as I know her reputation will spead and increase her business immensely! Thank you Lori, I had no worries about my baby's care”
About: I am a dog trainer at Feeders Supply Jeffersonville location. Everything I make from this site will go towards my career.

Anything else you would like to know, I am an open book, please feel free to ask! I currently work full time from home as well as dog training once a week as of now. My husband also works from home so someone is available to monitor at all times! My work schedule will be changing soon, however should have the time to do drop by visits if near by. I have two friendly and playful dogs that could be entertaining, but also know how to be patient when necessary. I also have a baby gate to separate pups, if need be. I also have two cats that joined our family that see dogs as other cats. They will end up playing with your dog by the end of their stay, guaranteed!

“Absolutely some of the best caretaking Charlie has had! Lori was great with Charlie. We met beforehand with her sweet pup to make sure the dogs would get along, and I really appreciated her thoroughness and quick communication. During his stay, Charlie got to run around and play with other dogs at her home and her family’s farm, but also had time to rest and relax. He was such a happy boy when we picked him up and slept the whole way home! 10/10 would recommend Lori!!”

“Eliane was so great! Bumi seemed like he had lots of fun and was well cared for. She was great at communicating and letting me know details of Bumi's stay when I picked him up. Would definitely have her watch him again!”
“Kimba had a great time with Kaitlyn. She took great care of Kimba and sent pictures throughout the day. Kaitlyn is very responsive and makes me feel at ease. Kimba has a lot of separation anxiety and it was clear from the photos and when we picked her up that she’d had a great day. I know Kimba was in good hands with Kaitlyn. I’d use her again next time we are in town.”

“Shelby was FANTASTIC with our Sherman. He was very nervous when we left him (he has separation anxiety). Not only did he seem to do well after we left (the pictures she sent us spoke volumes about his mood), but when i picked him up he was excited to see us as always but instead of running straight to the car and waiting at the door for us as he usually does when we pick him up from someone he did a couple of excited circles and had to run back to give one of Shelbys pups a kiss goodbye. He often stays with my sister and he loves her and her dogs but he never runs back to the door for any reason. He was so relaxed and clearly worn out feom playing so much. Shelby is terrific. You xan certainly entrust her qith the care of your fur-baby with confidence!”

I appreciate the trust and responsibility I've been given while taking care of your loved ones and home.

About: Experience with dogs of all ages, sizes and temperaments. Have owned as many as 5 at one time, as well as fostering dogs, cats and kittens, including a special needs beagle with degenerative myelopathy (he had a cool wheelchair :) .

While I no longer work from home, I still have plenty of time to care for dogs in my home, as I have done for my own dogs 😊 I have a fenced yard and a special “dog room” with toys a few different sized crates for when they need some space from my cat 😊.
About: Taking care of dogs is my passion in life. I currently own 2 dogs, an elderly hound and a young shepherd. My love for these two made me decide to have a career in working with and training working line dogs. This career path has given me a lot of experience with dogs of all types. Whether you dog is "hard to handle" or "easy going", I will be the perfect sitter for you. My entire world revolves around dogs. On days that I'm not working with my work dog or caring for someone else's pet, I am out training my own dogs. This is my passion and dream career, and nothing makes me happier. I like to care for pets at their own home. Being in their own home and following the same routines will make them feel safe while you are gone and will build a sense of trust with me. Your pet's safety and happiness is my number one priority.
“Reanna has been walking my dog twice a week for several months now and she is absolutely fantastic! She is extremely responsive to booking requests and very communicative when I need to move things around or she needs to adjust the schedule. Louie loves her and it's clear she loves him, too. It's great to have someone I can trust help my dog get some energy out while I'm at work. I highly recommend Reanna for dog walking and any other pet care needs!”

Or if you have a high energy dog like my Aussie, I can get some of that energy out by playing with them while you are at work.

I make sure to give them plenty of outside time and lots of attention! I usually try to fit a walk in as well and play time so they can enjoy their time just as they would if you were home with them.

About: I have experience with pet trimming, nails and hair, I've owned and raised several breeds of animals; rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, mice, dogs, and cats. I own a crate and care supplies for a dog, my own pup passed away this year due to cancer, so I have a lot of time and love to give to someone else's pet. I always hear from people that they are surprised how quickly their pet warmed up to me. I am really good with animals, and discerning what animals are trying to express. I know how to handle myself with food aggressive dogs as well as dogs with eccentricities. I have completed puppy training with my own dogs through PetSmart. I would love a chance to make friends with your pet.
About: I treat every animal like family and I always aim to leave tails wagging and hearts at ease.

I specialize in senior and special-needs pets, including medication administration and mobility support, and I’m confident handling everything from playful puppies to geriatric animals. Pet care has been in my daily routine since childhood, with myself having two senior Great Danes. I am available all weekdays and weekends from any time in the morning to any time at night I am comfortable taking your dog out on a leash if you don’t have a fenced in yard to let your dog out in. I am a quick learner and know how to administer medication. I have nine years of experience handling and caring for two Great Danes. I love to play and cuddle with animals so they get individualized care and attention.

I taught my own personal dog how to walk properly, sit, lay, stay, spin, to say his prayers, as well as many more when I had him! I enjoy any and every animal and breed I also have a few snakes. I request to meet the dog with the owner prior to any commitment to ensure they are comfortable with me. I took off house sitting temporarily due to past houses being unlivable. Anything else you would like to know, I am an open book, please feel free to ask! I currently work full time from home as well as dog training once a week as of now. My husband also works from home so someone is available to monitor at all times! My work schedule will be changing soon, however should have the time to do drop by visits if near by. I have two friendly and playful dogs that could be entertaining, but also know how to be patient when necessary. I also have a baby gate to separate pups, if need be. I also have two cats that joined our family that see dogs as other cats. They will end up playing with your dog by the end of their stay, guaranteed!
About: I have been caring for dogs, of all sizes, for well over a decade. I specialize in canine obedience and believe creating a cohesive family unit brings peace to the home. “Teach the human to lead and the dog will follow.” I dedicate myself 100% to each client and understand the importance of having an obedient dog with well-developed in-home manners. Most importantly, I believe it's important for your dog to HAVE FUN! I understand how dogs think, and seeing your dog happy brings me so much joy. Whether it is a drop-in visit, house-sitting, or just a walk around the park, I would love the opportunity to make you and your dog smile. I have three personal dogs and three cats...it's a zoo! Most importantly, I love dogs! I can't wait to meet you and your pup(s)! -Jessica I work remotely and I create my own schedule, so my time is highly flexible! I'm happy to accommodate your needs and schedule. Just let me know, and I'll be there! I'm not currently accepting boarding clients. We have three dogs and three cats, so it is a full house right now! Obviously, safety always comes first, second to having fun with your pup!
About: Animals are my life, love and passion! I am a full-time, work-from-home professional pet sitter and dog walker and have owned Meows & Growls Pet Sitting Service since July 2014. I enjoy visiting customers homes to provide daily care as well as vacation care. I have had the pleasure of taking care of basic needs (food, water, potty breaks, exercise) for Dachshunds, Pugs, Poodles, Malteses, Norwegian Elkhounds, Newfoundlands, Labs and Goldens I am certified CPR/First Aid, bonded and insured. Volunteer experience has been with our local animal shelter/rescue. I have participated in training classes with puppies and adults. What sets me apart from other sitters is I am a professional not a hobby sitter as my credentials illustrate. My 25 years had been both personally and professionally since 2014.
About: I've had cats since before I was in elementary school. I cat sit for all of my neighbors whenever they go out of town. I currently have one cat who is 4 years old. I am currently transitioning in between jobs so I have much more free time than usual. I have the time and patience to take care of your animals with short notice I can do whatever is needed to help with your daily needs for your animals. I can walk them/crate them, feed, play, take to park, and even send pictures. Happy to help!
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, usually multiple at a time, all shapes and sizes. Your pup will receive top-tier, attentive care with your instructions followed to the letter. Beyond that, expect plenty of walks, play sessions, cuddles, and adventures. I genuinely love dogs and treat every pet like my own. As a student, I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate almost any timing mornings, evenings, weekends, you name it. I work around your needs and will always make your pet my top priority. I have a friendly dog at home who loves meeting new friends! When watching pets in your home, you can expect to come back to everything exactly as you left it, if not a little cleaner. I treat every home and pet with the utmost respect and care.

“Missy took amazing care of my lab while I was on vacation. She was incredible with communicating and sending pictures of my dog while I was away. Would highly recommend!”
“Elizabeth & Philip took care of our Lexi like she was one of their own. It was our first time leaving our dog under someone else’s care. They gave us peace of mind and updates on her care. We really appreciated it. They will always be our first choice in the future. Highly recommend!!!”
“Beth took wonderful care of our dogs while we were out of town. She sent pictures daily and anecdotal notes to us. We knew they were in good care and didn’t have to worry one bit!! We will definitely contact her again if we need someone to watch them while we’re out of town! ❤️❤️❤️”
“Abi was amazing with Tater! Everything went perfect from the pre-visit, drop off, stay and pick up. Abi sent updates and pictures every day and throughout the day. We never had to reach out and ask how Tater was doing. We had to ask to extend Taters stay due to our flight being cancelled and rebooked. Abi was super flexible and allowed us to extend our stay. Tater was happy and relaxed when we picked her up from Abi. This was such a great experience! We will definitely be rebooking with Abi the next time we need a sitter for Tater.”
“Stephen and Angela are absolutely great! Watched our pups during our wedding weekend and was at total ease. I was sent pictures of them everyday along with a reassuring message. Thank y’all so much!”
“Our 2 dogs had an amazing time with Megan, Axel and the family. We appreciated the attention to detail of what our dogs needed, and the pictures sent of them. They really enjoyed themselves and were wore out from playing with Axel and one another while we were away. Would highly recommend Meagan for your pet’s booking needs. We will book again forsure!”
“I had an amazing experience with Jen, and so did my dog Pearl. Pearl is an anxious pup but Jen went above and beyond to keep her calm and happy. I got a ton of photo updates and just felt so relieved and happy knowing that my dog was having a great time while I was away!”
“I had to find a sitter last minute and so happy I was able to find Cody. He was a great sitter, kept me informed and very down to earth person. This was my first time going through an animal sitter service but I will definitely book again.. with Cody ❤️”
“Erin and George have an awesome set up and are great sitters. My two teenage pups had a blast playing outside and getting 1:1 attention. I’d highly recommend!!!”
“First time using Tayla. She was quick to respond to my request. Even though I only left my dog for one night, I appreciate that she sent several pics and updates. He must have had fun because he has been asleep since we got home. I felt really comfortable with the care she provided and plan to use her again soon.”
“Lola had an amazing time with Melissa and her family! They sent lots of pictures and updates throughout her stay, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear Lola was treated like part of the family and received lots of love and attention. I would absolutely recommend Melissa to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter, and we would definitely book with them again!”
“They took great care of our pups during the holidays. We are very grateful for them!! They kept us updated while we were away, we would rebook with them and highly recommend:)”
“Ziggy seemed to have a great time with Jeremy & Laura! It was only a short stay, but Ziggy seemed happy in the pictures I received from them. I’ll look to use them again in the future to dogsit!”
“Grace was great. Having one dog with health issues we were comforted with her professional experience. We had some major personal complications (including the one dog having to be put to sleep) and she was willing to work through the issues that came up. Grace was very understanding of the situation, and had then had to deal with a now anxious dog who just lost her partner and had to go alone to someone she didn't know. Grace made her feel at home. We were very satisfied with Grace and her pet accommodations. We would definitely use her again.”
