“Destinee is an answered prayer. Copper is my first and only furry son. I have taken him to the kennel in the past and he came home sick and traumatized.

I will definitely be using Destinee again and again and again.”

“Courtney was absolutely wonderful with my cat Twan Twan. Before my trip, she even took the time to come by for a meet-and-greet so she could get familiar with my home and get comfortable with Twan Twan. That thoughtful gesture gave me so much confidence before I left. She was incredibly caring and thoughtful during every visit. She made sure he was well taken care of, spent quality time playing with him, and sent detailed updates with photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away.”
About: Here’s a clean, natural blurb that sounds genuine (not robotic) and hits everything cat owners care about: ⸻ I’ve been around cats my entire life and truly love and respect them for who they are. I understand that every cat is different—some are cuddly and social, while others are more independent or need time and patience to feel comfortable. I’ve cared for all types, from short-haired to long-haired, and from affectionate to more reserved personalities. I’m very patient and attentive, and I always take the time to learn each cat’s routine and preferences so they feel safe and stress-free. I have experience with both indoor and outdoor cats, and I’m comfortable handling daily care like feeding, litter box cleaning, and giving them the space or attention they need. I’ve also helped my parents create a safe space for local stray cats, especially during the winter, which has given me even more appreciation for how to care for and look out for cats in all situations. Your cat’s comfort, safety, and happiness will always come first with me.
“Megan is great! Always very communicative and sends pics with updates. Spends extra time giving kitty loving pets for my special needs senior cat. Would highly recommend using her to anyone with fur babies.”
“So glad we found Lexi! During our meet and greet, the dog and many of the cats fell in love with her at first sight. Lexi did all the drop-in visits, and everyone was very well taken care of. I would absolutely ask Lexi to take care of our four-leggeds again!”
“Taylor was great with my cat over Thanksgiving. They got along from the first meeting. I’m grateful that Taylor took the time to play with my cat and send me detailed updates with photos. Highly recommended!”
“Bryanna was such a friendly and attentive sitter! Our kitties are very social so knowing that they had good company and weren’t left to feel lonely was so wonderful. Bryanna communicated regularly and always shared pictures and helpful updates about our pets and home. Will absolutely book them again for a future need. <3”
“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.”
“Carly was absolutely incredible! My new rescue pup was very scared and shy and ended up hiding under our yard barn, refusing to come out. Carly immediately called me to explain what was happening, kept me updated the entire time, and truly went above and beyond by staying until I could get more help to the house. Her patience, kindness, and genuine care made such a stressful situation so much easier, and I was so grateful to know my dog was in such compassionate hands. I couldn’t recommend Carly more highly—she’s exactly the kind of person you hope to find to care for your pets!”
“Alexandria was very attentive to my pets and provided great care. She was also very easy to communicate with and she ensured she followed the directions I left for her. I felt comfortable knowing they were in good hands while I was away.”
“Kyla is so contentious - she kept me posted when her schedule altered from our requested times. I appreciate her great communication. I will certainly use her again in the future.”
“Jessica was wonderful with my 2 cats! She is super friendly and my cats walked right up to her to say hi. She sends detailed updates with lots of pictures. She is super communicative which is good for this anxious cat mom! I plan to use her again when traveling in the future.”
“They communicated very well about how the stay was going! They sent pictures, communicated when my cats weren't getting along, very patient with my more nervous cat, and loved on my more out going cat like he was their own.”
About: I am not a professional but sometimes I believe that’s okay. I’ve had dogs since I can remember. I’ve always had such a big heart when it comes to animals. I worked at a shelter while I was in high school and the hardest for me was not bringin them all to my house. I have two dogs of my own. They’re both older girls and very very laid back and friendly. I think every dog has personality of their own and that’s what is beautiful about dogs. I think taking care of dogs is more than a chore or a job, i think it’s more of passion. In my opinion you have to love dogs to be able to take care of them the way they need. I hope I can be what you’re looking for.

“Omg, Ian loves it here and will be coming for many more to come. Mary had informed me that he had found a favorite quiet spot on the bed and was content there and happy. He loves being with other dogs and in her environment.”
About: Hi there! My name is Stacy and any dog I’ve met I have loved like my own! Growing up, I had several rescue dogs. I'm the first call for anyone I know who needs a dog sitter or walker. From pet sitting, long or short walks, boarding and of course taking care of our own pets, I’ve got experience with it all! I’ve also administered medication to dogs of all ages and sizes. Our pups were rescued as well, with little training, so teaching them tricks was always a fun time! Any specific requests for them? Let me know! I allow them on my bed and couch, unless you prefer them not to. I always keep the water bowl full and pets happy and healthy. Allow me to meet yall and lets play fetch! A move in ready kennel is available if needed. I'm located conveniently near the airport, 465, and 70 for easy drop off and pick-up! I work from home full time. I'm a total home body so staying home with dogs is a dream for me. I have a fully fenced backyard. I also have a 4 years old dog and son ready to play at all times! Dogs are family members so they are allowed on furniture and beds. I have a fully fenced yard and love to take walks daily. I am very happy to drop by for walks , potty breaks, and pets. My son excels at giving pets and love!
“It was so great to know my furry boys were happy and safe while we were at work all day! Thank you, Clint & Kari! Charlie & Franklin would also say thank you but they’re worn out and sleeping!”
“Bailey was well cared for with Shelby! We were staying at the KOA Holiday and she was just minutes away. We would highly recommend her to others and would definitely use her again when we come back to the area.”
“Lauren was fantastic with my two pups for doggy day care! She took some really sweet photos, was flexible with drop off and pick up and they were really happy and relaxed with her. 100% recommend!”
“Moose had such a great time with Brittany and Waylon! Brittany is very thorough in making sure she knows everything about your pet and ensures they have a great stay. Thank you, Brittany!”
About: I have trained and boarded dogs professionally for 4 years. Along with many years of working with so many different types of animals! Dogs, cats, reptiles, hamsters, horses, goats, & more! I am an animal lover! I have 3 teenagers along with dogs of my own. We definitely are a large bunch but we all work together perfectly! Loving animals is a great joy and I can’t wait to share the love with your fur babies!! I am a certified professional dog trainer and long time animal lover, so pet care is my life! My schedule is open for training, daycare and more! Things to know before booking boarding with me: Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities. I am dedicated to providing a safe, caring, and enjoyable environment throughout their stay. Unless there is an issue or something that requires immediate attention, I provide one update each evening after the day has settled down. This allows me to spend more time caring for the dogs and less time on my phone. For privacy and security, all photos and videos are taken outdoors. I do not send photos or videos taken inside my home. Thank you for trusting me with your pet!
“Pete had a good time, got to.play with other dogs in a nice backyard, and Sheila was very easy to work with and easy to schedule a meet n greet with. I'm sure we will be back. I appreciate her willing to take Pete for my odd work hours.”
“Nicole and her family are the best. We have been bringing Pearl here about a year and a half now. She was able to get me booked last minute this weekend. Like, within the hour last minute. We love having a great place to take Pearl and not have to worry about her!!”

“Jackson was very accommodating with drop off and pick up. Also, he is very knowledgeable on the needs of dogs when at daycare such as resting/calm time. As someone that is very particular about the care of my dog, I trust Jackson! Definitely recommend!”
“Jennifer treated our dog as if it was her own. She was a great communicator, sending pictures and updates throughout the day. She has a lives in a nice house, is a quiet neighborhood, with a fenced in backyard, perfect for any dog’s stay. We plan to use her again.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs my entire life and also worked at a dog daycare and boarding facility. That experience helped me become comfortable with dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities. I’m happy to follow your pet’s routine and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I work from home, which gives me flexibility throughout the day for walks, drop-ins, playtime, and companionship. I love getting outside for walks around downtown Indianapolis and enjoy having a four-legged friend join me. I know every pet has different needs, so I take the time to learn their routine and preferences. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or out on a walk, I prioritize safety and I’ll keep you updated with photos along the way.
“Sharon was fantastic! Appears my dogs never even missed us! Ideal arrangement for us to have her watch them while we visited with a friend and her husband when passing through Indianapolis on our way to Wisconsin from our home outside Nashville, TN. Thank you Sharon! I highly recommend others use Sharon if wanting a loving home your pets can stay at when not able to accompany you. I have one dog around 60 lbs and other around 20 lbs. both rotten so loving care is what I want when needing an alternate care arrangement. Sharon met our needs! Now back on the highway.”

About: I've lived with dogs and cats, big and small, since I was five years old. I have a passion for animals of all sorts and I previously worked as a kennel tech for a veterinary office and worked as a dog groomer for several years before my son was born. I’m currently a stay at home mom to my children. I especially love dogs and cats of all sizes and I love being able to work from home taking care of them and helping pet parents know their pets are safe and loved when they’re with me. I'm open to caring for animals of other species as well! I’m experienced in taking care of many different types of animals with different levels of care, such as senior pets, medically needy pets, puppies and kittens, aggressive/reactive pets, as well as exotics. I took a 4 year long veterinary assisting course and I received my CVA (certified veterinary assistant) license in July 2016! I’m a stay at home mom to my children, so I work from home and have pretty open availability to help whenever I’m needed, including weekdays! When caring for someone else’s pets, my main goal is to make sure your pet is happy, healthy and loved. I strive to follow the directions given and keep your pet in a routine they are familiar with, so please don’t hesitate to ask for special requests! For grooming: I have been a professional groomer for several years, plus animal experience as noted above! Please let me know what haircut you would like, your pets’ temperament with grooming, any special requests or concerns you may have during the groom, I am happy to accommodate. I am familiar with most breed specific haircuts and I’m well versed in many different breeds, so please feel free to let me know exactly what your desired haircut looks like! I have open availability as I am a stay at home mom! I’m usually available most days of the week, but may need a couple days to plan, so please shoot me a message and I’ll be happy to get something scheduled! I care for pets as the owners intend me to. I strive to provide a safe and loving environment whether your pet is in my home or yours. When your pet is in my care, rest assured that I am doing everything in my power to keep them happy and healthy :) My schedule can be quite flexible, so please reach out to me to see if we can make something work! I have pretty open availability most days. My goal is to take care of your pet in the same manner that you typically would, so that you can leave them in my care knowing they are loved, safe and cared for as you intend.
About: I’ve been passionate about animals my entire life and bring a deep understanding of dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments to every pet I care for. I have experience with both puppies and adult dogs, and I’m comfortable adapting to a wide range of energy levels, personalities, and behavioral needs including behaviors such as resource guarding. Whether your dog thrives on structure, needs extra patience, or has a more outgoing and playful nature, I take the time to get to know them individually so I can engage with them in the way that suits them best. I understand that every dog and household has its own routines and expectations, and I’m committed to following any specific instructions or precautions to ensure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m patient, attentive, and also very outgoing, which helps me build trust with dogs while keeping them happy and engaged. I’m also able to administer oral medications if needed and am attentive to any health or behavioral cues. Above all, I treat every pet as if they were my own—with care, respect, and genuine love. I’m new to the area and currently planning my wedding, which gives me a very flexible schedule to dedicate to pet care. Because I’m not working a traditional 9–5 right now, I’m available during weekdays, evenings, and for overnight stays—making it easy for me to give your pets the time, attention, and consistency they deserve. I have experience caring for pets with a wide range of distinct temperaments and understand how important it is to recognize and respect each animal’s unique personality and needs. I’m very mindful of the routines, boundaries, and safety measures that help pets feel secure, and I make it a priority to follow them closely. I treat every home with the same respect and care as I would my own, and I approach each pet as if they were my own as well. My goal is to provide attentive, reliable care while maintaining the natural flow of your home and your pet’s routine—ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away and that you feel comfortable as well.
