“Absolutely wonderful with my two dogs; they were taken very good care of, and I got daily pupdates! She was very responsive and understanding to the times I needed to drop off/ pick up my dogs. I will most certainly be boarding my dogs here again when needed.”
“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!”
“I can't recommend Danielle highly enough! She stepped in at the last minute to provide specialized care for my cat after an incident just days before vacation. We so relieved knowing my pet was in such capable hands. Being a vet med for over a decade she is incredibly knowledgeable, attentive, and confident handling medical needs. Danielle took the time to ensure my cat, Jelly, was comfortable and well cared for, and they kept me updated throughout. It's not easy to find someone with this level of experience and compassion. I would absolutely trust them with my cat again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a skilled and dependable pet sitter.”
“Chelsea watched my 14 year old dog for a weekend while I was away. I think he enjoyed it so much I have never seen him act better! Highly recommend if you have an older dog or one that needs a bit more attention!”
“Kelsey has a wonderful and kind energy. I truly can’t say enough good things about our experience with her. Spot was immediately made to feel like one of her family and I loved getting updates and photos of him receiving so much attention and love, especially from her daughter his new BFF. My only fear was that Spot was having too much fun and would be sad to leave. We definitely have to plan another trip so Spot can go back to visit his new friends.”
“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!”
“My dog Gus received excellent care with Mary Jane. She provided frequent updates and was flexible when my pick up plans changed. She provides a safe and loving environment with opportunities to explore outside and cozy places to rest inside. I highly recommend her services.”
“If I could give 100 stars, I would! Celsei is one of the kindest and most through people I have had the pleasure of conducting business with. Celsei made sure to send pictures of my pup throughout the day. She even went the extra mile by taking my pup to the dog park to have some fun. I look forward to using Celsei’s services in the near future. Thank you again Celsei; Keep shining bright!”
“Lucy definitely made my dog feel comfortable. I appreciated the communication since I received a few pictures a day of my dog. Lucy did a great job and made sure to give my dog her medicine. Thank you!”
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.
“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”
“Madison was wonderful and flexible. First, we were able to modify our dates before the trip. Second. We ran into traffic on our way home and Madison was able to watch our dog for extra tune until we got home. We got picture updates and our dog was happy.”
“Wonderfully patient with my cat, Charlie, who needed time to adjust to their cat and dog. After spending some solo time with our Charlie in closed off parts of the house, Charlie voluntarily entered the rest of the house, accepting of her new friends! I appreciated Matthew and Ellie taking the required time and care to make the adjustment go well. Will definitely consider using them again.”
“Nikole was a wonderful sitter for Max. She knew I was not comfortable leaving him because I have only left him with a relative before. She sent photos every day and it seemed like he made himself at home right away. I think Max really enjoyed himself and I think he is even more comfortable around other dogs now. Thank you Nikole for taking such good care of my baby!”
“Kim was great. She sent pics and status checks throughout her time with Pinky. You can see how she loves animals and how to make them welcome in a new environment. We look forward to using Kim again for future boarding needs.”
“Laura was absolutely amazing!!! This was the first time I’ve ever left my dog with non family and Lucy was so happy the entire time! She’s a 2 yo GSD with a lot of love to give but she can be a lot for some people and Laura had zero issues. If you are ever in the area or in need of an exceptional dog sitter do not hesitate! She literally drove over just to meet Lucy prior to sitting. It blew me away how effortless this whole thing was aside from me being the nervous dog dad BUT she sent me photos throughout the evening and in the morning which helped so much! I cannot wait to use her services again.”
“Cole was really great with our dog during his stay! He sent regular check ins and pictures. It really gave me peace of mind knowing he was taking such good care of my dog during his stay! I appreciate how he did my dogs favorite activities with him while I was away and spent a lot of time with him. I will definitely be using Cole for any future boarding!”

About: Hello! My name is Mirte (pronounced meer‑tah), and I’ve been caring for pets professionally for several years now. I share my home with a sweet kitty named Evie and a goofy beagle named Mylo, and I adore them both like family. That same level of love, patience, and attention is what I bring to every cat I care for. Before pursuing social work I originally planned to become a veterinary technician, so my love for animals runs deep. Cats have always held a special place in my heart. Whether your kitty is shy, social, playful, or independent, I connect in a way that feels right for them. 🐈🧶 My schedule is very flexible right now since I’ve just wrapped up my internship, and I offer everything from drop‑ins to overnight stays. I always prefer meeting in person beforehand so you and your cat feel completely at ease. I’d love to connect and support you however I can; your pet’s well‑being truly matters to me.
“Leah was so great with my two cats! I went out of town for two weeks, and she was very attentive and caring while I was gone. One of my cats has new health issues, but I never worried about them. She was always great about sending photos and updates every day, so I could see what they were up to as well. I'd definitely have her watch my cats again, and would definitely recommend her!”
“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.”
“Jaime was absolutely wonderful. My plans ended up changing last minute and she was open and flexible to accommodating. She gave such beautiful pictures and updates and my kitty was so joyful and fun when I got home; she clearly had a great time!”
“Samantha was so awesome with our cats! She really went above and beyond to make sure they were taken care of and comfortable with her. We received excellent communication about how they interacted, ate, played etc. and of course got lots of pictures. Definitely will be booking with her again for any future trips!”

“Kelly really saved me in a pinch and did exactly what I had in mind my for 2 dogs experiencing doggy daycare for the first time! I gave her a brief overview of their personalities and my expectations for the day and she provided an easy, stress-free day for me! She was also flexible with my drop off and pick up times possibly changing and was incredibly kind/understanding about me not being able to give her an idea of drop off/pick up. I would definitely book with her again!”
“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”
“We cannot recommend Kim enough! Firstly, she was willing to take us last minute and was very accommodating and communicative (with pics!). When we first got there we did a slow introduction with the other dogs there and left after everyone felt confident the dogs would get along. You can tell Kim loves what she does, we felt really comfortable and happy knowing we were leaving Goose in Kim’s capable hands. Goose came back to us tired (in the best way possible) and happy. We already have another appointment with Kim on the books and can’t wait to book with her again. Thanks, Kim! :)”
“It’s a relief for my husband to see the pictures and know that B is truly happy and is being so very well taken care of. Thank you both for all the love you give. T”
“Jasmine was absolutely wonderful with our 4-month-old puppy! She was friendly and polite, and we could tell right away that he was in great hands. She followed all of the instructions we left for her and sent us many updates throughout the day, which we really appreciated. This was our first time leaving our puppy for daycare, so we were naturally a little nervous, but Jasmine made the entire experience completely stress-free. Her communication and care gave us so much peace of mind. We would absolutely recommend Jasmine!”
“So great!!!! Nova had the best time. Not sure she wanted to even come home!!! She played so much with nova who has so much energy. Her home was beautiful and clean and perfect for a little puppy..lol!! Great back yard! HIGHLY RECOMMEND ❤️”

About: Hi, my name is Melinda of bark and stroll. I love animals. I have my own animal and I love taking care of animals inside my home or your home. I am retired, and I have plenty of time to take care of the animals. I love playing with them and taking them on nice walks. I have a decent sized yard. It’s not fenced in so I do walk the animals on a leash and we have some woods with paths near my house. If the dogs over 50 pounds I prefer them to be crate trained.

About: Hi there! I’m an avid animal lover with a gentle, patient approach to pet care. I share my home with a sweet kitty named Evie and my rescue beagle, Mylo: a lovable goofball who keeps me humble and well‑trained. I always look after every pet with the same attentiveness, patience, and high quality care I give my own little crew. 🐾 Before pursuing social work, I actually planned to become a veterinary technician, and that early passion for animals has stayed with me. I’ve volunteered at the Wabash animal shelter, spent years riding horses, and gained hands‑on experience with all kinds of personalities and needs. Mylo, who struggles with anxiety, has taught me a lot about de‑escalating reactivity and building trust through positive reinforcement. He also takes daily medication, so I’m very comfortable administering meds and following specific care routines. Mylo likes to think of it as his “evening treat with extra steps.” Over the past several years, I’ve pet‑sat for friends, family, and their extended circles. This has allowed me to care for pets of all ages and ranging needs. No matter the temperament, I adapt to each animal’s personality, mood, and boundaries. Striving to create a calm, reassuring environment where your pet feels understood is central to my approach as a caregiver. Please reach out if you have any questions! Your pet's comfort is my priority ❤️ My schedule is currently very open as I wrap up my internship, and I’m available for daily check‑ins, walks, and overnight stays! Please feel free to reach out with any questions, I’m always happy to connect. ❤️🐕🦺🎾 I love caring for pets where they feel safest, their home 🏡🐾. While I’m there, I carefully follow your pet’s routine and keep their space clean and comfortable, so you return to a happy, relaxed fur baby and a home that feels just as you left it (or better).
About: I grew up on a farm, surrounded by animals. We had horses, goats, chickens, cows, and of course dogs and cats. We have 2 Australian Shepherds, and a bunch of cats. I also grew up around Chihuahuas. My sister has a senior diabetic Chihuahua, so I have experience with them as well. I have a lot of experience with all sorts of animals, so I can take care of barns as well. I am currently working part-time in the early mornings, so I have plenty of afternoon time to spend with pets. I also am a full time student, but all of my work is online. I am open to any days that are needed. I have a warm and friendly approach when it comes to animals. I always think it's important to remember that accidents happen. In the end, they're animals. I love giving them all the pets and cuddles I can possibly give. It's their first time living too!!
About: I've had dogs and cats in my home since the day I was born. I've grown up taking care of our pets, as well as pets of family and friends. I will always give your pets tons of attention and love! I'm a college student with a very flexible schedule. I can largely work around your needs and be available accordingly, AM or PM and overnight if needed. My dogs sleep in my room, I feed them first thing in the morning, take them out for a morning stroll and bathroom time, walk them in the afternoon, and feed and take them out at night before bed. I also play with the dogs regularly (inside and outside), give ear rubs and belly rubs, and make sure they have water always.
About: I absolutely live for pets to get the care they deserve. After all, our pets are part of our family. I have always had family pets and feel like they are an extension of our family. I work from home and I have a very flexible schedule. If you call...I'm there to take care of your furry friend. It simply takes one phone call for great service. I provide great service to all my clients when ever they need me to go to their home to care for their furry friends. Allow me the possibility to become an extension of your family. Pet care fits my work schedule because I work part time. I can free my schedule anytime. Having a flexible schedule just means I can spend more time with your furry friend and I don't have to be in a rush to get back to work. I have always pampered my pets. They all have a little personality, we just have to take the time to really understand them. Allowing them to be home and comfortable while you are away is the perfect time for you to see.. though the lens of a camera. Enjoy the new video communication!
About: Ive had my own Doggy Babies and taken care of doggies for 20 years!! Friends and family have relied on me to walk, bathe, sit overnight and care for their pets. Im currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to play with your pups!! Ive always loved doggies and love to play and have fun or just sit and chill together!! I have a fenced in yard where our doggies run and play. We have one small guy named Cooper. And one medium girl named Sage. Cooper is Morkie (maltese-yorkie) and LOVES every other animal and humans. Sage is mixed breed and is so gentle and little shy till she gets to know you
About: I started taking care of animals when I was eight. Since then, I have cared for guinea pigs, rabbits, a tarantula, fish, chickens, cows, and of course cats and dogs of various ages. Typically, I will set up a phone call or meet and greet before officially booking. This helps to make sure owners and I are have the same expectations and to meet your adorable pets. I am a full time college student, so my availability is flexible. I am available to check in or stay overnight with your pets. Walking is also something I love to do for exercise or a study break. I currently live in an apartment with a roommate's cat that scares easily with other animals. Therefore, I will only sit in owner homes. I look forward to having a proper place to make a loving dog a home at. When I watch pets in other homes, I like to follow whatever regimen the owner has in place. I have found animals adapt to a new person in their territory when they stick to a routine and are in a familiar place.

“The BEST. ♥️ I cannot say enough good things about Katherine and the experience my dog had staying with her. She was exceptionally warm, thoughtful, attentive, compassionate, loving. Beyond being nurturing, Katherine was clearly experienced in caring for dogs. My dog is 14 and Katherine went above and beyond in making sure the environment was comfortable for her. She sent photos throughout my pup's stay, and my pup was relaxed and happy in every photo. I think my dog wanted to live with Katherine after her stay. She was SO HAPPY when I brought her home. She was looking at me like "thank you so much for this vacation, mom" -- seriously. Katherine went far beyond making sure my dog was fed and safe. She was spending quality time with her, playing, and treating her with kindness and lots of affection. Leaving a dog with someone new can be a bit stressful, Katherine immediately made me felt at ease and I knew my dog would be in wonderful hands while I was away. You could not ask for a better sitter. 🐺 🫶”
“Jasmine did an excellent job taking care of my baby. She was also very attentive when I asked about my baby; she sent me pictures and videos, so I felt comfortable leaving my baby with her. Jasmine was really nice and punctual.”
“Mason was just great! I knew Dude would be safe with him. I will definitely be using him again. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for this service. I’m just so grateful.”
