“Couldn’t ask for a better sitter! I don’t have to worry about a thing when my dog stays. They are trustworthy, kind, polite, keeps me consistently updated. Top notch I know Mollie will miss staying when we move away in the future.”
“You can count on Steve. He really is a great human being who truly will take CARE of your four-legger. Titan loves you, Steve, and thanks you for a safe and fun second home while mommy was away from Indiana working hard to pay for the kibbles. God bless and thank you!”
“Aurora was very sweet and caring for my Luna, she took Luna in at a very short notice, and was even able to drop her off early ahead of her drop off time which helped me tremendously since I was in the process of moving. Luna was groomed and I received updated pictures of Luna. I would definitely book again in the future!”
“Laurie was outstanding with our dog, Remy. She sent photos and updates everyday. We felt like Remy was part of Laurie’s family. He looked comfortable and loved in the photos we received. We will absolutely be going to Laurie again when we need boarding for Remy.”

“When we picked up Shadow from her stay, she came back to us exactly how we left her—happy, healthy, and full of energy. All her needs were taken care of, from mealtime and naps to plenty of playtime in the backyard, which made us feel really at ease knowing she was so well looked after.”
“Haylie was so wonderful to work with! She sent me updates and pictures throughout my trip and allowed me to extend Seeley's stay with her family on short notice when we had some unexpected issues. This was his second time staying with Haylie, and I am sure it won't be his last!”
“We are so grateful for Joseph and his family for their care in watching our dog, Jack. On the day we were to drop Jack off to Joseph, Jack had an accident where she required veterinary care. Joseph was still willing to accept Jack and administer antibiotics and pain medication for a week while we were traveling. Joseph sent daily pictures and provided updates so we felt more at ease. Joseph and his entire family show care and love when Jack really needed it. I fully recommend them. Thank you.”
“Julie R. Is a kind-hearted, capable, compassionate pet lover who was amazing with my dog. She took him for long daily walks and gave him fun exercise time, kept him clean, fed, safe and happy. She paid attention to his little habits, and accommodated him in the most caring, ingenious ways. My dog was in good hands and came home in good shape and tired— just what a dog-owner would want!”
“Had Sarah watch my 2 year old Great Dane Roscoe. She was a great sitter and will definitely be using her again when the time arises. He come home happy and healthy after his 3 night stay. Sarah is also very good at communicating and was always quick to respond when I would check up on my boy.”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch my dog while I was out of town! Alexis gave me so much peace of mind by sending regular updates, including lots of photos and videos. It was clear my pup was happy, well-cared for, and loved while I was away. I highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy and thoughtful pet sitter!”
“Joe did a great job watching my dog. He was kind enough to meet me at the airport to pick her up, and then drop her off. This saved me a lot of time, and was very convenient. He kept me updated on how she was doing throughout her stay. I’ll use his services again!”
“Douglas and Katherine were absolutely amazing! This was the first time I’ve been away from my little guy and they treated him like one of their babies! They sent pictures everyday and my little guy was so happy and comfortable! It made going on our trip so much easier! Thank you!!”
“Bobbie was AMAZING!! She took such great care of my dog and sent me messages and pictures of my dog while I was away. She really cared for my dog and I can tell he had an amazing time with her. She went above and beyond to make sure that my dog was comforted during his stay with her. I will definitely be bringing my dog back with Bobbie the next time I am away. She is so caring and wants the best for the dogs she sits. Thank you so much Bobbie!”

About: Cats have been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I genuinely love. I've been a volunteer at Midwest Pet Refuge for almost a year, working with cats of every age, temperament, and background. For the past 8 months, I've also been a cat foster, giving both kittens and adults a safe, loving place to land, I've cared for shy cats, spicy cats, and even day-old bottle babies, so I'm very comfortable with high-needs or fragile kitties who require extra patience and attention. I understand cat body language, respect their boundaries, and take the time to earn their trust. Whether your cat wants playtime, cuddles, a calm presence, or someone who knows how to handle special care routines, I'm here to make them feel safe and loved while you're away. Your cat will be treated like family - because that's exactly how I see them.

About: I’ve taken care of cats since I was a child! We used to live in a rural area and there was a little of kittens on an annual basis. I spent so much time with every litter and we kept most of them as our own pets. we currently have our own senior cat that we rescued this past winter, and my soul cat lived to be 21 years old. For fun, my best friend and I used to go to the cat rooms at the shelters to spend time with the cats- something I still do with my daughter today!
“As I am sure most pet parents considering a pet sitter are, I think of my pets as my babies. I was getting really stressed out about leaving my 3 cats for 3 days and finding someone to watch them. I was so relieved when I found a sitter and it was an amazing experience. They sent photos, videos, and kept open communication. I felt like my cats were in great hands the entire time and while I was excited to come home, I felt less nervous about being away. I am definitely going to be using them in the future again and would recommend them to anyone.”

I currently don’t have a dog but I’m looking! My yard isn’t fenced but it it however quite big and if needed I will walk them out there with a leach! My house is big and they are allowed to come inside!

“Jake enjoyed playing in the fenced in yard. We don't have one, unless we take him to the dog park he has to be on a leash. He had a good time. Thank you Xander for taking such good care of him!”
“Couldn’t ask for a better sitter! I don’t have to worry about a thing when my dog stays. They are trustworthy, kind, polite, keeps me consistently updated. Top notch I know Mollie will miss staying when we move away in the future.”
“You can count on Steve. He really is a great human being who truly will take CARE of your four-legger. Titan loves you, Steve, and thanks you for a safe and fun second home while mommy was away from Indiana working hard to pay for the kibbles. God bless and thank you!”
“Aurora was very sweet and caring for my Luna, she took Luna in at a very short notice, and was even able to drop her off early ahead of her drop off time which helped me tremendously since I was in the process of moving. Luna was groomed and I received updated pictures of Luna. I would definitely book again in the future!”
“Laurie was outstanding with our dog, Remy. She sent photos and updates everyday. We felt like Remy was part of Laurie’s family. He looked comfortable and loved in the photos we received. We will absolutely be going to Laurie again when we need boarding for Remy.”

“When we picked up Shadow from her stay, she came back to us exactly how we left her—happy, healthy, and full of energy. All her needs were taken care of, from mealtime and naps to plenty of playtime in the backyard, which made us feel really at ease knowing she was so well looked after.”
“Haylie was so wonderful to work with! She sent me updates and pictures throughout my trip and allowed me to extend Seeley's stay with her family on short notice when we had some unexpected issues. This was his second time staying with Haylie, and I am sure it won't be his last!”
“We are so grateful for Joseph and his family for their care in watching our dog, Jack. On the day we were to drop Jack off to Joseph, Jack had an accident where she required veterinary care. Joseph was still willing to accept Jack and administer antibiotics and pain medication for a week while we were traveling. Joseph sent daily pictures and provided updates so we felt more at ease. Joseph and his entire family show care and love when Jack really needed it. I fully recommend them. Thank you.”
“Julie R. Is a kind-hearted, capable, compassionate pet lover who was amazing with my dog. She took him for long daily walks and gave him fun exercise time, kept him clean, fed, safe and happy. She paid attention to his little habits, and accommodated him in the most caring, ingenious ways. My dog was in good hands and came home in good shape and tired— just what a dog-owner would want!”
“Had Sarah watch my 2 year old Great Dane Roscoe. She was a great sitter and will definitely be using her again when the time arises. He come home happy and healthy after his 3 night stay. Sarah is also very good at communicating and was always quick to respond when I would check up on my boy.”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch my dog while I was out of town! Alexis gave me so much peace of mind by sending regular updates, including lots of photos and videos. It was clear my pup was happy, well-cared for, and loved while I was away. I highly recommend to anyone looking for a trustworthy and thoughtful pet sitter!”
“Joe did a great job watching my dog. He was kind enough to meet me at the airport to pick her up, and then drop her off. This saved me a lot of time, and was very convenient. He kept me updated on how she was doing throughout her stay. I’ll use his services again!”
“Douglas and Katherine were absolutely amazing! This was the first time I’ve been away from my little guy and they treated him like one of their babies! They sent pictures everyday and my little guy was so happy and comfortable! It made going on our trip so much easier! Thank you!!”
“Bobbie was AMAZING!! She took such great care of my dog and sent me messages and pictures of my dog while I was away. She really cared for my dog and I can tell he had an amazing time with her. She went above and beyond to make sure that my dog was comforted during his stay with her. I will definitely be bringing my dog back with Bobbie the next time I am away. She is so caring and wants the best for the dogs she sits. Thank you so much Bobbie!”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was about 10 years old, babysitting family and friends dogs along with taking care of my own dogs. I’ve been around them for as long as I can remember! I currently work three 12 hour shifts a week at the hospital, but I am looking to fill my days off with some doggy care! I will care for your dog at your home in the best way that I possibly can! I have a small dog of my own, I treat him as if he’s my child and I will do the same for any and every dog I take care of:)
