“This was Ruby’s first time being away from us and her first boarding experience and it couldn’t have gone better. Nora has an excellent environment for multiple dogs and Ruby got along with all the dogs and it really helped socialize and grow her confidence. She was very well taken care of and they sent lots of pictures of how much she was enjoying her time there. Thank you Nora!”
“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.”
“What a wonderful experience! Mary Jane and her partner were responsive, kind, accommodating, and took incredible care of our dog. Communication was excellent and we received daily updates and pictures. Our dog was clearly happy, comfortable and worn out from their loving care. They will be our first choice every time!”
“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!”
“Chelsea did a fabulous job taking care of our dog. We also appreciated her quick communication and willingness to watch our dog as a last minute booking and to add on a day when we wanted to extend our trip. Highly recommend.”
“Tawny was great to work with. Good communication, and check ins throughout the stay. Had lots of room for my dog to run around and play with other dogs! Would recommend / book again! Thanks”
“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.”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life and understand that some animals need special care. I live in a quiet neighborhood with great walking paths! I work a Monday through Friday normal schedule, going into work around 6am and coming home around 3pm each day. I love going on morning, afternoon, and evening walks with my dog, Toby, and he loves to run around our backyard too. Weekends are meant for fun! Sometimes we go to the dog park or a walk through downtown. I care for them by giving them attention, sticking to a nice schedule, and understanding that every animal is different in their own, unique way. Some require more care, others are very chill like my own dog!
“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!”
“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.”
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.
“My dog took to Alex immediately, I was amazed when my dog didn't even bark at Alex when he first met him as he usually takes some time to warm up to strangers but my dog had an instant bond with Alex who is an obvious dog lover ! Alex was just superb ,Alex sent me twice daily updates with pictures and comments as to how Paco was doing...my dog made friends quickly with Alex's two dogs and appears to have had very little separation anxiety..I could not have asked for a better experience and I highly recommend Alex to take care of your fur baby...Thanks Alex”
“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”
“Kelsie was very nice and updated me with photos and updates to make sure my puppy was doing great I would highly recommend and appreciate the last minute notice that I had to board my dog.”
“Nikole and her family took great care of my dog Miley for 13 days. She sent me daily photos and video's of Miley having a great time. Communication was easy and quick. Nikole made sure she understood Miley's daily schedule at our house and followed it as close as possible while watching her. I would highly recommend Nikole for your pet sitting needs.”
“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.”

About: I've had a dog for as long as I can remember. I've watched over dogs for neighbors, friends, and family. I have had all sorts of pets from cats to dogs to birds. All have been lovely companions and precious members of my family. Each one has held a special place in my heart! ☺️ As a student living away from home, I deeply miss the daily joy of caring for dogs. Back home, I looked after an Australian Shepherd and a terrier mix, so I am very comfortable managing high-energy breeds and keeping them happily exercised. I also raised a sweet coonhound/basset hound mix, giving me a soft spot for gentle hounds. I am excited to bring that same love, patience, and dedicated care to your fluffy family members! My priorities for pets are Hygiene, Routines, and Care. Making sure pets are clean and comfortable, well fed, and well rested is most important! Ultimately, you know your furbaby best, so I am always completely open and attentive to any specific instructions or routines you request!
“Madison was great with our puppy, she did drop in vista. While caring for our dog, she played fetch with her while allowing her plenty of time to do her business outside. She was great with sending pictures and very responsive with text messages.”
About: While in college my roommate had a cat. He neglected his cat, he wouldn't change his litter box, and would spray him with a water bottle whenever he did something "naughty". I ended up cleaning the litter box. And his cat ended liking me more than him. Cats hold a special place in my heart, their goofy, curious, and sometimes sassy attitudes are endlessly entertaining. I would love the opportunity to be of service to you and your lovely kitty!
“Ashli was great with our dog! She arrived early for a meet & greet and was very patient with our loud demand-barker. He was very comfortable, and we're very happy to have found someone we can trust to take care of him while we're away.”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my extensive experience and the trust I’ve built with clients over the past nine years. I’ve cared for a wide range of pets, including large dogs, cats with diabetes or thyroid issues, deaf dogs, sugar gliders, and more. I’m comfortable handling special needs pets and providing medical care as needed, including trips to the vet. Some clients trust me to stay in their home for extended periods, while others rely on me for daily check-ins, showing the confidence owners have in my reliability and dedication. My experience, attention to detail, and genuine love for animals allow me to provide a safe, caring, and personalized experience for every pet I watch. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine because I’m organized, attentive, and flexible. Over the years, I’ve developed a rhythm that ensures pets receive consistent care, whether it’s feeding, exercise, medication, or simply companionship. When house sitting, I adjust my schedule to the pet’s needs—taking dogs for walks, giving medications on time, and providing attention and play. Even during check-ins, I make sure each pet gets the care, love, and monitoring they need. Pet care is a natural part of my day, and I treat it with the same reliability and dedication that owners would. At this time I can't host pets in my home due to my apartment lease polices. I'm more than happy to go to your pets and care for them!

About: I've had cats all my life and got my first dog when I was 11. As soon as we brought her home, I helped walk her, feed her, and bathe her after she was sprayed by a skunk. Earlier this year, I began volunteering at 2 animal shelters where I walk dogs, brush cats, and socialize the animals. I have a lot of patience for all animals, but the timid ones have a special place in my heart. I also have some experience working with ill and elderly dogs. I'm pretty flexible during the summer, and I'm always happy to meet new furry friends! I will typically be available on short notice for both walks and drop-ins. Every animal is different, so I vary my approach depending on who I have the pleasure of working with. I communicate openly and frequently, and make sure to provide the best possible experience for everyone.
About: I have dog sit for multiple people and loved it! I’ve had dogs all my life and I always walk them, at the moment I have 2 large dogs a pitbull and a hound and I walk them almost daily. I also have a cat who I love! Yes! I wake up let out my dogs and feed them I then take them on a walk and feed them and let them out again that night. I always make sure they have water and food and make sure they get out then they need to. I’ll play with them if they want to play and make sure they get any medication needed.
About: Hello there! I currently have a cat! I have had 4 dogs and 4 cats in the past and have a knowledge for administering medications and taking care of injuries. My friends and family know they can rely on loving and caring for their pets. I look forward to meeting you and your pets and curate a plan that works for you both. I enjoy getting outdoors and getting my steps in. So I’ll be playing or walking your pet depending on preference. I work after 4 or 2pm so anytime before then I’m available to walk or care for your pet! I follow any rules you have at your home that you request and I will respect them. I treat your pet as if it were my own and don’t feed table scraps and stay to their treats and food provided for them. I make sure food/water bowls are cleaned/ filled when required. I like incorporating play time generously through the day to keep them occupied.

About: My fiancé and I have cared for dogs of various breeds, sizes, and temperaments, from puppies to senior dogs requiring special attention. Our experience includes feeding according to dietary needs, ensuring regular exercise through walks and playtime, administering medications, and maintaining a safe, clean environment. And let’s not forget, all the cuddles your pup will allow! Pet care fits seamlessly into our weekly routine, as both my fiancé, Renas, and I work from home. I work part-time and he works full-time, which means one of us is always home to provide attentive care. Renas shares my love for animals and is always actively involved in caring for the pets we welcome. Our schedules are flexible and fully adaptable to meet your pet’s unique needs. While your pet is in our care, we will follow any schedule/routine that fits your pets needs. We will also ensure proper feeding/watering and any dietary restrictions. Pets will have regular walks and playtime as well as proper physical and mental stimulation such as engaging in games or activities that cater to the pet’s personality and energy level. If games and activities aren’t your pets cup of tea, we can be great couch potatoes and cuddle buddies as well. Maintaining a clean pet environment is a priority ensuring their space is free from hazards. Any basic grooming needs will also be provided. Last but not least, we are happy to keep pet owners updated regularly through messages, pictures, or videos to provide peace of mind. (Pets are allowed on furniture and are welcome to sleep in bed if preferred 😊) Side note- We live in a two story home on a half acre lot that backs up to a wooded area. Our yard is not fenced in so dogs will need to be leashed when going outside. Our neighborhood is very dog friendly with tree lined streets and sidewalks on both sides. There’s also several trails nearby that’s great for dog walking and adventures!
About: I grew up with several small dogs and I currently have three, so I have experience with taking care of their needs and giving attention to multiple dogs at once! I’m available for boarding and dog sitting on weekends and weekdays. I’m home most days so my schedule is fairly open. When I'm available, I rarely leave the house for more than an hour at a time. I have a fenced in yard for your dog to safely enjoy fresh air! I also have two small crates and the ability to segment off parts of the house with baby gates if the need arises.
About: As a retired teacher, I’ve spent my life nurturing, encouraging, and caring for others, and that same patience and dedication extend to every dog I meet. I understand that pets are family, and I provide a safe, loving, and dependable environment where your furry friend can feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. Whether your dog enjoys playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply a calm companion nearby, I tailor my care to their unique personality and needs. With years of experience building trust and creating positive relationships, you can have peace of mind knowing your beloved pet is receiving plenty of attention, affection, and gentle care. I look forward to treating your dog like one of my own! 🐾❤️ I am available to watch your dog for you if you need a short-term doggy daycare option or someone reliable to care for your furry family member while you’re on vacation for several days. I have a fenced-in yard and two fur babies to keep your fur baby company while you’re away. We will have regular yard playtime and potty breaks, every 2-4 hours during the day. I am also happy to come walk your dog for you if you prefer that.

I enjoy being able to unload some of the burden of worrying from my clients, and hopefully I can do so for you in the near future. I also speak Spanish in case is more convenient for you! I work with a relatively flexible schedule. Depending on the distance, I am able to fit home and pet visits into my daily routine, and am open to hearing about your needs/how I can help. I live in a house in a very walkable area. I would base my care off your pets preferences/needs. We can go on long walks, play in the park, and I would make sure they are getting all the pets and love they need!

About: I own a King Charles Cavalier and a German Shepherd currently! I grew up on a farm in southern Indiana with multiple foster and adopted animals! My mother instilled a serious love and adoration for people and their favorite pets. I volunteered at our local animal shelter, was trained in multiple animal science courses, and was taught to love and respect the animals I work with, both domesticated and exotic. I have handled dogs, cats, reptiles, rodents, foxes, raccoons, bobcats, farm livestock, petting zoo animals, and more. I love them and have tons of professional experience to give your fur-baby the best experience possible. Please feel free to message or call whenever needed and I am more then happy to accommodate ANYTHING you or your sweet pet needs. I have lots of time on my hands, currently we start our mornings with a good meal and a long walk along our neighborhood. We will head to the house for a quick nap or so that our older dogs and puppies can rest. We then head to either the local state park or a dog park for some new stimulation. When we return home, we have some free time with toys and puzzles, enjoy another good meal, take another long, walk around the neighborhood, and then cuddle on the couch or in the beds until bedtime. I don’t have a fence in yard however, we have multiple leashes here as well as one that you would prefer to use. All of our animals are continuously monitored, I work part-time, and we also have cameras in the house. Feel free to request photos or videos of your baby at any point in time.

About: Patient, Attentive, Problem Solver, Caring, Love Each Pet Like My Own, Punctual and Consistent, Communicative, Will Understand Each Individual Pet’s Needs, Comfortable Administering Medicine, Fun! My schedule fluctuates throughout the year depending on how many hours I am working and what my classes look like. For the summer, I am pretty flexible, I do have a part time job in the evenings, usually Thursday-Sunday 4-anywhere from 8-11pm. Definitely message me about evening bookings within those days so I can check my schedule or work with my other job to accommodate to you! I also have a campus job in the summer, so throughout the week I have short shifts in the morning/early afternoons sometimes, but those are pretty easy to work around. Let me know if you have any questions! I would love to be given a run down of your pets regular daily lifestyle and what I should watch out for or what will help them get comfortable with me! I will follow directions attentively and keep up on whatever schedules you have your little friend on already to make your lives as easy as possible.
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 have been around and loved dogs for my entire life. One of our family dogs had two litters while I was in high school and I helped take care of and raise the puppies. I also frequently pet-sat for neighbors and friends. Last year my wife and I adopted a puppy from Puerto Rico who we adore. I look forward to giving your pets the care and love they deserve! I do freelance work as a musician and dancer, so I have a fairly unpredictable schedule. Currently I am available on weekdays from 8 AM to 10 PM but I can be available on some weekends. I am happy to play with your dogs in their home or yard, to work on training as needed (our dog has been in training courses for around six months), or to do whatever else your dog will enjoy! I also enjoy walks and am happy to take your dog around the neighborhood or to nearby parks.
About: Hello! Former veterinary assistant, forever animal lover here! Have spent the last 14 years working with dogs and cats in various professional settings: boarding and daycare, animal shelters, high-volume spay/neuter, and, more recently, full-service veterinary medicine. Additionally, I have been caring for dogs and cats in my own home since I was very young. I will offer your pet/s compassionate, attentive care. You can trust that I will be responsible, reliable, professional, and fun! I’m pretty flexible at the moment. Aside from animal care, my schedule is fairly open. Please reach out and I will try to accommodate! I am unable to care for pets in my own home as I have a reactive Aussie mix, BUT, I am more than willing to stay the night or day in your home to care for your pets, following all instructions and guidelines to the T.
“Morgan has been the best walker we could have found for our pup. She takes extra care in making sure he gets a nice walk every day and shares plenty of photos each time. She has great communication with us as well. Highly, highly recommend! So glad we found her.”
About: I managed a pet store for years, I also ran a humane society's equine center and I have horses of my own. I have experience with reactive dogs and love big dogs! I work Monday thru Wednesday and every other Thursday. I work 12 hour shifts on those days so I'm not available. I'm available anytime after that! I am currently unable to care for dogs in my own home because my dog prefers to be the only dog. But I'm happy to take dogs on walks or care for them in your own home!
About: I’ve taken care of animals all around the family! I have two dogs and a cat at home who have been spoiled so much. I love animals of all kinds. I have given dogs and cats medications orally. I am a college student at Ivy Tech, my schedule is a little empty this semester, and my part time job starts later in my day. I am always in town and don’t have any trips planned. I keep an open schedule! I am able to take your pets on walks! As long as it’s not raining I would love to take your little ones on walks. I keep animals close when a vehicle is near. I’ll treat them as my own!

About: I’ve grown up having dogs of all different sizes and breeds. I have a passion for animals of all kinds. Friends and family tend to call on me and my daughter for help when it comes to needing a pet sitter. I am surrounded by animals in my daily life. I have 1 large dog and 2 outdoor kitties. They get plenty of love, playtime plus food and water of course. On top of that I work at a local groomer as a dog bather and volunteer at a wildlife rehab when I have free time. I care for my pets and yours with all the love and attention they need. I would love to meet your furry friends and help wherever needed.
About: Hi! I’m Michelle, and animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve always had rescue dogs and cats, and caring for them has been one of the greatest joys in my life. I’ve raised and cared for several of my own rescues. I’ve also fostered and occasionally foster failed before ultimately adopting. Through those experiences I’ve cared for pets with very different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I’ve worked with animals ranging from tiny kittens to gentle giants like Great Pyrenees. I’m a dependable, detail-oriented person who understands that every pet has their own routine. Whether your pet needs a long walk, playtime, cuddles, or simply someone to keep them company while you’re away, I’ll do my best to make them feel comfortable and loved. Communication is important to me, so you can expect regular updates and photos while your pet is in my care. My goal is for you to have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is being treated like one of my own. Spending time with animals is one of my favorite parts of the week. I keep my schedule organized so I can provide reliable, dependable care. I’m available for morning and evening visits during the workweek, as well as weekends, and I’ll always communicate clearly if I have any scheduling limitations. I believe pets are happiest when they can stick to their normal routine, especially while their family is away. In your home, I’ll follow your pet’s schedule as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions you provide.

About: Hello there! My name is Haley and I am a lifelong pet lover who was raised on a farm and was the sole caretaker for a herd of goats, a horse, chickens, and other farm animals. This has given me experience in animal husbandry, medicine distribution, general care and maintenance. I also have pet care experience for the following animals: Bunnies, mice, hamsters, guinea pigs, birds, snakes, bearded dragons, chickens, horses, goats, donkeys, and of course, dogs and cats! I also have experience with trained police dogs and post op patients who may need that little bit of extra love, attention, and care. Whatever animal you've got, I would love to care for! My family has always had cats and dogs from all age ranges, so I have experience from puppies and kittens to seniors. Whatever your pets need, I’m confident I’ll be able to provide it so you can rest easy while away. Pet sitting is my livelihood, which means I am open to schedule according to your family and pet needs! Please don’t hesitate to reach out, as I am open and ready to meet you and your fluffy family!

(Unless you prefer I didn't) I guarantee all pets will go home in the same shape, and spirit they came in, if not even better! I currently decided to take a break from the "real world" and make Boarding my passion! So I am home 24/7 to care for your babies! (Besides the occasional grocery shopping, Doctors appointments, etc) I have a HUGE unfenced yard, (I do have Leads outside if your pup/dog requires one). I take them out every 1-3 hours, whether it’s for a walk or just running around the yard. I do give them treats for tricks, good behavior, and listening to simple commands! I will provide a basic types treats and toys. If you prefer your brand please bring enough to last while your pet is with me. If your pet is on a special diet, certain type of food, certain time they eat, medication, etc I am more then happy to follow your schedule.
About: I’m 18 years old and just graduated High school I have grown up around dogs my whole life, including 2 bulldogs, a mastiff, and a boxer. Two and a half years ago I got my own Australian Shepherd, and caring for him has given me even more hands on experience. I have pet sat before and truly loved it. I’m responsible, patient, and don’t mind cleaning up accidents or handling energetic pets. I was involved in 4-H for three years, which helped me gain even more experience working with animals. I’m currently in college for massage therapy and have a flexible schedule, with availability on any days except Mondays and Thursdays.

About: I’ve loved caring for pets since childhood and have been sitting professionally for the past several years. I offer house visits and dog walking, with experience caring for dogs, cats, reptiles, and other small animals. I am trained in Pet Care First Aid and have experience administering medications and giving injections. Previously, I worked with PAWSome Pet Sitting and now provide independent care in town. I can’t wait to meet your pets! I am available throughout the week and on weekends, offering flexible scheduling to provide your pets with consistent, reliable care whenever you need extra support. I prioritize safety, cleanliness, and respect in every home, ensuring that pets are cared for in a secure, comfortable environment while following all client instructions.
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals since I was 10, including dogs, cats, parrots, chickens, and horses, and have some dog training experience. I am currently working full time, but am more than happy to dedicate all my time outside of work to your pet. I am willing to work around whatever schedule they are used to in order to make sure they remain as comfortable as possible. I remain very attentive to what the pet needs, and I make sure to accommodate for whatever recommendations my clients would like to see being done. I am also willing to work around whatever is needed for them to remain happy and healthy.
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life—pets have always been part of my family! Right now, I have 4 cats and 2 dogs of my own, so I’m very comfortable handling different personalities and energy levels. I don’t just work with cats and dogs either—I’ve cared for everything from hamsters to horses, and even birds! No matter the animal, I’m confident, patient, and know how to make them feel safe and loved. Whether your pet loves to play, go for walks, or just relax and get some extra attention, I’m happy to match their vibe. I’ll make sure they’re fed on time, get their exercise, and receive plenty of love while you’re away. I work online, so my schedule is super flexible. Need a midday walk or extra check-ins? I’ve got you covered! I’m also a photographer, so you can expect lots of cute photo updates of your pets while you’re gone 📸 I truly love meeting new people and their animals, and I’d love to work with you to make sure your pets are happy, comfortable, and well cared for! Pet care is part of my everyday life! With a flexible, work-from-home schedule, I’m able to easily build my day around walks, feedings, and giving pets plenty of love and attention. One thing I ask is to be made aware of any pineapple scented items(soaps, air fresheners, food, etc.) before entering the home as I am severely allergic. I follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible—feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. I focus on keeping them comfortable, safe, and well-loved, and I always provide updates while you’re away.

“This was Ruby’s first time being away from us and her first boarding experience and it couldn’t have gone better. Nora has an excellent environment for multiple dogs and Ruby got along with all the dogs and it really helped socialize and grow her confidence. She was very well taken care of and they sent lots of pictures of how much she was enjoying her time there. Thank you Nora!”
“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.”
“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!”
“Tawny was great to work with. Good communication, and check ins throughout the stay. Had lots of room for my dog to run around and play with other dogs! Would recommend / book again! Thanks”
“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.”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life and understand that some animals need special care. I live in a quiet neighborhood with great walking paths! I work a Monday through Friday normal schedule, going into work around 6am and coming home around 3pm each day. I love going on morning, afternoon, and evening walks with my dog, Toby, and he loves to run around our backyard too. Weekends are meant for fun! Sometimes we go to the dog park or a walk through downtown. I care for them by giving them attention, sticking to a nice schedule, and understanding that every animal is different in their own, unique way. Some require more care, others are very chill like my own dog!
“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!”
“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.”
“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”
“Kelsie was very nice and updated me with photos and updates to make sure my puppy was doing great I would highly recommend and appreciate the last minute notice that I had to board my dog.”
“Mason has been such a great sitter! He first started with boarding my pup at his home and then has helped with drop in. He is very communicative and flexible. I absolutely recommend using him!”
About: I have been taking care of animals since I was little. I grew up with dogs and cats all around within my family. I started pet sitting for other families when I was little and love all animals. I will take the time to make sure your pet has the best time with the best care! I work a part time job this summer so I do have plenty of time to take care of your pet. I am free mainly in the mornings because I work at night mostly but I do not work long shifts so any animal will be let out in a timely manner. I live in a town house with a lot of space. I do not have a fenced in yard but do live very close to dog parks and I have a lot of grassy areas all around my house for dogs to go out and play. I love going on walks and would love taking dogs with me for some exercise and fun.
“We couldn’t be happier with the care our puppy received during his overnight stay. From the moment we dropped him off, we felt confident he was in great hands. Communication was excellent — we received updates and pictures that reassured us he was comfortable and having fun. Our pup can be energetic (typical puppy!), and they handled him with patience and care. He came home tired, happy, and clearly well loved. We truly appreciate the attention and kindness shown to him and would recommend!”

I have a cleaning business that keeps my weekly schedule flexible, but varied. My availability is not always the same each week but it gives me a more flexible schedule than some. I’m happy to care for your pet however you would do so normally to keep them in their routine. At home I have other pets they can play with or they can remain separated. I have plenty of yard for them to enjoy.
“We knew our dog Pepper was in great hands when we left her with Katie for the weekend! Katie clearly adores animals and treats them as if they were her own. She sent us several updates and photos, and it was clear Pepper was living the good life while we were away. Will absolutely be booking Katie again!”
“Anna was an exceptional friend to my handful-of-a-pup. She was attentive, responsive, and caring leading up to, during, and after watching my maniac. I would highly recommend using her services if you’re looking for dog care.”
