“We had a wonderful experience with Trent and his family!! They were incredibly attentive and accommodating! As soon as we arrived and my dog (German shepherd) met Rebekah, I instantly knew that our dog was in good hands. When I got back, my dog appeared happy to see me but not anxious to get back home…which warmed my heart because I knew she was being well cared for!”
“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.”
“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.”

“Crystal was amazing from day 1 with Luna. She understood her behavior patiently and helped her adjust with other dogs. She truly loves dogs and her actions speaks for it. Thanks to Crystal and her daughter, that I was able to leave Luna worry free. I don’t have to ever worry about leaving Luna in a daycare.”
“Karen was absolutely amazing, and we couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter! From the moment we left, she kept us completely at ease with frequent updates, thoughtful messages, and the sweetest photos of our fur baby. You can tell she genuinely cares—she went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect, and our pet was happy, comfortable, and so well loved the entire time. Coming home to a relaxed, well-cared-for pet says everything. Karen is reliable, kind, and incredibly attentive. We’re so grateful to have found her and will 100% be booking with her again. Highly, highly recommend! 🐾💛”
“Holli was incredible! She was willing to take my dog on short notice and I felt like he was in great hands. She sent me daily photos and was easy to communicate with. Thanks, Holli!”

“Josh was super great at communicating with us and really flexible with pick up/drop off when we needed to make changes. Our dog Walter was very well taken care of and we would absolutely recommend Josh as a pet sitter!”
“Jane took amazing care of our 10 month old puppy, and her dog was a great playmate. I felt she cared for our pup as if she were her own. Each evening she’d send a detailed update and several photos and even videos of our happy pup. This resulted in the most worry-free arrangement we could have asked for. Great communication, reliable and kind interaction all around. Very grateful and we highly recommend Jane!”
“Rajesh was an incredible dog sitter! From the moment I left my pup, I knew he was in great hands. He treated him like family and went above and beyond by sending daily updates with photos and videos. It meant so much to see how happy and well cared for my dog was. I would 100% book with him again!”
“Franklin loves staying with Veronkia! She is so wonderful! We get pictures daily and have peace of mind that Frank is being well taken care of. We are so glad we found her ♥️”

About: I have had my own pets ever since being little. I have also worked for a pet sitting business a few years ago that offered many services to their clients. My home is a fun loving home with a daily schedule and lots of love and fun. I am currently a part time worker and I only work 4 days a week for just a few hours during the day. I am home most of the time except if I am running kids to games or practice in the evening. I have a small fenced in area and a doggy door that is available as well. I am also outside often too. We have a quiet and great neighborhood for walks as needed.
“Deanna was amazing & very responsive. She accepted my request at pretty short notice and she was quick to suggest a meet up! Very professional and I would definitely use her again!”
About: I’ve lived with cats for as long as I can remember. I remember when I was about 10, I bought so many books about cats and decided they were my favorite animal. They are such interesting lil guys that have huge personalities. I love getting to know each individual kitty I meet. I have 7 cats of my own and I know that each one has a weird trait. One is picky about how deep the litter is, one is picky about which bowl she eats from, stuff like that
About: I have worked with dog rescues since 2018, and have adopted 4 dogs and a cat of my own. I am wanting to help others in and around my community with their pets! My full time job is Monday through Thursday, and I have the capability to care for dogs prior to 9am, and after 8pm. I also can make a stop during the day at almost any requested time for a midday potty break. I will follow directions to ensure I meet the expectations of each individual client. I can exercise your dog whether you want your dog to be leash walked, or to have play time in a fenced yard. I will adhere to feeding schedules, and ensure proper amounts are given to each individual dog. I am also able to give oral and injectable medications as needed.
“Hope was fantastic. I booked with her with less than 2 weeks before we needed her and she was so responsive and kind. I was nervous to leave our cat alone since we just lost our other cat. She hadn’t been alone in 11 years. Both days Hope sent pictures of our cat, but also our other farm animals that she wasn’t even watching. It helped me actually relax while we were gone knowing everyone had been checked on each morning.”

About: I've had animals since I was 4. Been caring for other people's animals almost as long. I would walk my neighbor's dogs any time they would allow it. I also have a background in veterinary care and am used to administering medications as well as injections to dogs and cats. I have 3 cats and a dog, so I have my small menagerie that I take care of daily. But that won't stop me from taking care of your critters too! I have a partner at home that will take care of my own animals if I need to stay over to care for beloved furry family members. So no need to worry if your fluffy friends need round-the-clock care, I can do it! I have a large yard with lots of space for my dog to run, he knows not to go to the front of the house and stays close to me when we're outside and there are lots of parks nearby to go on walks. We have lots of high places for our cats to climb and perch.

About: I’ve had dogs and other pets for as long as I can remember. When I was about 10, I became obsessed with reading about different dog breeds and their needs. My first job actually working with pets was a dog daycare. I loved building connections with the pups and their parents. At this job, I learned defensive handling skills (how to avoid or break up fights or attacks) and how to handle reactive, scared, and stubborn dogs. I work shorter hours on weekends so I’m able to make plenty of time for your baby, plus my wife is always home and will occasionally help care for your pet when I’m not around. I like to have group play or just time outside when it’s cool in the mornings and evenings. I have a fenced backyard that I check for holes daily and an open front yard (leashes at all times out front). I’m able to crate your dog at anytime they might need it and can even have them in a separate room if crates aren’t their thing. Another bonus is that my wife is home just about full time and is able to care for your pet when I’m not around. If I’m at your house, I will take your dog outside on a leash the first few times just to see how they are and to make sure they aren’t an escape artist once mom/dad is gone
“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.”
“Frank and Beans really enjoyed their time with Dhara. She kept them so active they had a lazy evening and slept the entire night! They usually get up once or twice. I will definitely have them visit Dhara again in the future. Thank you Dhara!”
About: I promise to care for your pet as I would care for my own! I am extremely attentive to my dogs and would expect the same from others. I love all animals but have also felt more connected to dogs as I grew up owning them! My dogs are well cared for and loved! As a pet owner, I plan the needs of my dogs around my tasks for the day! I always make my dogs a priority and would do the same for others! I am attentive to my dogs and understand how quickly they can wander. I keep a close watch on their behaviors and understand and act upon behaviors that are not normal. My dogs are family and I understand the love owners have towards their animals.
“Rocket is very clingy and timid and he has never stayed with a stranger but Karen was so kind, patient and wonderful that our little friend did just fine. If we ever need a sitter in Kokomo we will definately pick Miss Karen. ?”
“Dustin did a great job taking care of Patty with short notice. He was flexible and quick to respond to set up a meet and greet at the last minute when we had a death in the family. Patty enjoyed her day with Dustin and the rest of the pups. She loves meeting new people and pups but can be a bit shy and clinging at first but it was clear from the photos that Dustin provided that she was happy and content while we were away. She isn't used to being around several dogs and Dustin did a great job getting her settled in. She loves laying in the sun and roaming around grassy areas and Dustin's yard was like a big wonderful park for her where she could be off leash and enjoy the outdoors and running. We will absolutely be taking Patty back for just play time with other pups to make sure she stays socialized. She came home tired and happy and it was clear she was very well cared for. Thank you Dustin!”
About: I love taking care of furry friends! Family and friends have relied of me to pop in and take their fur babies on walks, get them all clean, and make sure they get their tummies full. Not only do I take care of pets but also people! I am a registered nurse with a passion for helping others! Have a last minute trip you need to go on don’t worry I offer same day services. Just send me a message and we can work something out. I love taking care of furry friends in my free time! Request your time and I will let you know if I am available to watch your fur baby! I treat everyone with kindness including your fur babies. A day with me your fur baby can expect to have water always available. We will take a half mile walk and play for 30 minutes. There will be opportunities for cuddles and snuggles. You will need to provide the food for your baby with instructions on how much and how often to feed. I do require that all fur babies be potty trained as I rent the space that I live in.
“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.”
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life and have cared for a wide variety of breeds, ages, and sizes. My family has a long history of rescuing dogs from shelters—especially those who struggled to find homes due to trauma, reactivity, or anxiety. With patience, structure, and consistent training, I have helped many of these dogs gain confidence and eventually transition into loving forever homes. Because of this, I’m experienced with: • Reactive, anxious, or shy dogs • Dogs with difficult backgrounds • Senior dogs • Puppies and high-energy breeds • Multi-dog household management I’m comfortable preparing homemade meals if your dog has dietary restrictions or special needs, and I’m always happy to follow any routine your pet requires. I’m a stay-at-home mom, which means your pup gets: • Frequent potty breaks • Lots of one-on-one time • Consistent supervision throughout the day I have high activity levels—great for energetic dogs who love walks and playtime—yet also have calm, patient personalities that help anxious or older dogs feel secure. I have two children: a 1-year-old daughter who is home full-time, and a 7-year-old son who is home outside of school and sports. Both kids adore dogs and have grown up understanding pet body language and boundaries. While i do ask that your dog be kid-friendly, i also make sure our children respect each dog’s comfort level and personal space. What You Can Expect • Reliable communication • Photo and video updates upon request • Safe, loving care tailored to your dog’s needs • Plenty of walks around our large subdivision filled with sidewalks, parks, and ponds—weather permitting • A warm, family-style environment with structure, comfort, and enrichment Your dog will truly be treated like part of our family while they’re here. 💛🐾 I truly love dogs—my two pups are part of everything we do, and they enjoy meeting new friends. My home is designed with safety, comfort, and flexibility in mind: • Fully enclosed 8-foot privacy fence for secure, weather-permitting outdoor play • Completely pet-proofed home • Multiple levels and gated areas for dogs who need separation • Retractable gates and room dividers for customized safe zones • Doggy Chill Space for crates, quiet rest areas, and decompression time If your dog prefers not to interact with other dogs (or only struggles with certain types—male, large, senior, etc.), i can easily provide full separation and rotating play schedules to ensure every dog has a calm, happy stay.
About: I’m obsessed with fur babies! Let me watch yours so I can be happy 24/7. Former puppy owner do I know how crazy that it. Very experienced as I’ve always loved with animals. Very open availability because my day job allows me to choose my own schedule. And I’m very flexible and willing to accommodate to your needs. Right now I can only do house/pet sitting at your place because I do have roommates. I’m not entirely confident he have someone else’s pets around them for reliability issues.
About: Animals have always been my primary passion. Growing up on a farm surrounded by cows, chickens, and a variety of dogs—from energetic Boxers and Labradors to gentle Golden Retrievers, I learned early on that every animal has a unique personality and specific needs. Over the last 15 years, I have cared for a wide range of dogs and cats, gaining extensive experience that spans the entire life cycle of a pet. This work is deeply personal to me, as I recently said goodbye to my own beloved Boxer who lived to be 13 years old. Navigating those senior years gave me firsthand expertise in providing mobility assistance, a gentle touch, and precise medication administration. Beyond senior care, I am highly proficient in puppy care—focusing on consistent training reinforcement and managing high energy, and I am comfortable with all temperaments, from "velcro dogs" who thrive on constant attention to more independent or cautious rescues. I am available full-time with a completely open and flexible schedule, which means your pet will be my primary focus throughout the day. Whether you need a mid-day walk, a last-minute drop-in, or around-the-clock companionship for your pet, I can easily accommodate your needs. Because I am 'open whenever,' I can stick strictly to your pet's specific feeding and exercise routine without any time conflicts. Safety is my absolute priority. When caring for pets in a client's home, I do a thorough walkthrough to ensure everything is secure and follow all house rules strictly. I am very experienced in managing different leash temperaments on walks to keep dogs safe from traffic or other animals. I provide frequent photo updates and clear communication so you can have total peace of mind knowing your pet is in expert, loving hands. My home is currently a calm, pet-free environment, which is ideal for dogs who prefer to be the 'only child' or need a quiet space to relax.

About: My furry family has been growing since 2017. We have rescued, puppy trained, and kitten trained and are up to 3 four legged friends in our home! We fostered animals from our local shelter for about a year during covid, however, we failed as foster parents and ended up adopting a kitten from one of our litters.

We also try to go on walks once or twice a day so they will get their steps in if they like to get out of the house!
About: I worked in marine mammal care and training at The Indianapolis Zoo for 10 years, and I hold a bachelor’s degree in behavioral neuroscience from Purdue University. My partner and I both work from home and we have two dogs of our own, so pet care fits naturally into our daily routine. I have 2 friendly, crate trained dogs who get walks 2-3 times/day. We also recently built a mini dog park in our back yard for dogs who prefer to be off leash, but also need to be supervised while outside.

About: I stand out by providing attentive, in-home care where pets stay comfortable in their own routine and environment. I have experience caring for both young and senior pets, including administering basic care, handling high-energy animals, and being patient with older pets who need a gentler approach. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and make sure each pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and affection—whether that’s walks, playtime, or simply keeping them company. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to focus on the pets I’m caring for. I’m able to plan my days around walks, feeding times, playtime, and giving each pet the attention they need. Since I’m not gone for long hours, pets aren’t left alone for extended periods, and I can keep a consistent routine that helps them feel comfortable and secure. I truly enjoy having pets as part of my daily life, so making time for them is something I prioritize. I provide a safe, loving, and structured environment for every pet in my care. I stick closely to each dog’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide. Inside, dogs are treated like part of the family with lots of attention, supervision, and a comfortable space to relax. I make sure to respect your space while keeping your pet’s routine as consistent as possible. Whether it’s walks, potty breaks, feeding, or just spending quality time with them, I focus on making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for.

I’m currently in school online, but I am available to spend time walking the animals during the week and on the weekend. I can’t wait to meet your fur baby! I do not have a fenced in yard, living on a huge property that they are allowed to run, but if your dog is an inside animal I am willing to bring him/her to my home. I have two friendly playful dogs of my own, they are a Golden Doodle, and a German Shorthaired Pointer. I am also willing to spend time at your home playing and walking your animals as well. I am willing to do play dates inside and outside.

About: I’ve always loved being around animals ever since I completed two 8-day dog sledding expeditions in Michigan. I have experience caring for pets for friends, family, and neighbors. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playing, and making sure pets feel safe and cared for while you’re away. I’m patient, attentive, and always make sure to follow each pet’s routine closely.

About: Hello everyone! My name is Laina and I’m an animal behavior student at Indiana University open for work! I have extensive experience in animal care with my education experience, volunteer training, and personal pets as well! In my past I have trained service dogs through ICAN and volunteer at The Love Pet Project. Currently I have six dogs at home that I care for as well as two cats!

I provide daily care, hourly check ins, long walks, bathing/grooming services, or I’m potentially open to overnight stays depending on the client. I provide excellent and safe care for all animals. Depending on the animals needs and behavior I am able to bring them to parks, trails, back yards, or pet stores for play and enrichment!

All fences will be checked for damage before animals are let loose to play! In the home all food will be placed in high areas that are up and away from the animals reach. Sharp objects that could causes harm are also placed away!
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for as long as I can remember. Growing up around them, I learned early on that dogs aren’t just pets—they’re family. Throughout my life, I’ve helped raise, nurture, and look after dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities. From energetic puppies who need patience and structure to older dogs who need gentle care and attention, I’ve always been comfortable meeting each dog’s unique needs. My experience includes feeding routines, playtime, basic reinforcement of good behaviors, and making sure dogs feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I pay close attention to a dog’s body language and personality so I can provide care that keeps them happy, calm, and engaged. Whether that means active outdoor time, mental stimulation, or simply relaxing companionship, I’m happy to adapt to what each dog enjoys most. Above all, I treat every dog in my care as if they were my own—with patience, kindness, and plenty of affection. My goal is always to give owners peace of mind while making sure their dogs feel comfortable, cared for, and right at home. I am currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm very active and love spending time outdoors. I have a large fenced yard with a doggy door. I have two large breed dogs, (Great Pyrenees and a Golden Retriever) that are very friendly! Both of my dogs are up to date on their vaccinations, including flea and tick. Dogs are allowed on furniture and the bed. I spend a lot of time with my dogs playing outside and inside. I can accommodate crate training if needed.
About: I have had pets all my life and dealt with all sorts of animals growing up in nature. I currently have three dogs that are older. I trained them as puppies and now work to care for them as seniors. I have 6+ years in the food service industry so I am not afraid of a mess and will do the best I can to care and love your pet while you’re away. I am currently working remotely as a research assistant this summer and part time in food service industry. I can spend nights with your pets to comfort them and stop by to let them out and play multiple times a day. I can do early morning and late night stopbys as well. I have a large yard where my three dogs love to run around and play. As puppies, I crated them so I am perfectly comfortable with which ever method you prefer. I’ve also taken my dogs to dog parks and on long walks/hikes before, on and off leash.
About: I am a huge dog lover! My 7 year old lab/pit mix Conway is my rock and best friend. I care for all dogs like I care for Conway. I have had a dog all of my life, so I am very comfortable with pet care of all types. I am an experienced dog-walker as well and have cared for friends' and neighbors' pets for many years. Also, I am working on Conway's summer body and we are up to 3 mile walks a day. I am not saying that your dog needs all three miles but I am up for doing the long walks, if needed. I work from home every day. I have essentially wide open availability (minus some scattered meetings that will be scheduled ahead). I can care for your pet on any week day or weekend. Day or night. *Unfortunately, I do not have any pet care for my own dog. At this time, I will have to bring him with me for any house sitting opportunity. I am happy to set up any meet and greet.* I am caring and respectful of the owner's wishes. Having a dog of my own, I know how important it is for owners to ensure that they are leaving their fur babies home with somebody that cares and they trust. If an owner has specific directions of care, I will follow those to the T.
