About: Hi there! We’re a dog-loving duo with years of experience and three sweet, well-behaved rescue pups of our own. 🐾 We both work from home, so your pet will receive plenty of attention, love, and care throughout the day. We’ve spent our lives around animals—caring for our own, helping friends and family, and volunteering with the Humane Society’s Dog Day Out program (and multiple years at SPCA Florida). We offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and in-home daycare for friendly pups who get along well with ours. We’re confident in caring for a variety of pets and always take the time to understand each animal’s unique personality and routine. We also provide drop-in visits for cats and currently care for a household of three felines. Whether your pet loves playtime, quiet companionship, or sticking to their usual schedule, we’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home. Your pets will be treated like family—because that’s what they deserve. 🐶🐱❤️ We work remotely with flexible schedules, so we're home throughout the day and available most weekends. We can provide care in the mornings, mid-day, and evenings. We also offer daycare for dogs who get along well with ours. *Sunday availability begins at 2pm. **We are currently at capacity for ongoing, multi-day weekly care (ex. 2+ days a week, every week, indefinitely). We are still open to once a week ongoing care at this time. We prioritize your pet’s safety and comfort, whether visiting them at home or welcoming them into ours. We follow routines closely and provide gentle, attentive care. For daycare, we ensure dogs are well-matched with our three friendly dogs and are supervised. Clean spaces, fresh water, and secure environments are a must. We treat every pet like our own—earning their trust through patience, play, and consistency.

Our tiny and slightly anxious papillon easily made friends with the other dogs Kailly was watching and enjoyed being buddies with Kailly's kitties. We saw pics of our pup snoozing on her back, clearly showing her comfort and ease in her new surroundings. Kailly offered regular brushings as we requested, and sent pics daily. We're delighted to have found Kailly and will use her again.”

“Heather was absolutely wonderful with Leo while we were away on our trip to Punta Cana! She took such great care of him and gave us complete peace of mind knowing he was in loving and capable hands. She was great at keeping us posted, and clearly treated Leo like he was her own. We came home to a happy and well-cared-for pup. We’re so grateful to Heather and would absolutely trust her with Leo again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone caring, responsible, and trustworthy to look after their dog. Thank you, Heather!”
“We felt so comfortable after leaving our golden with Julie!! She sent us updates and photos all the time, and we could tell right away her dogs and our dog would get along perfectly.

“This was my first time using Rover and I choose DeLena based upon her profile which seemed like a great fit. It was that and much more! We did a greet & meet first and she was very nice and I felt she was dependable and trustworthy. I am so happy to have found her to take care of our Churro when we are out of town. She came on the days and time we arranged, was able to get great pictures and made sure Churro was well taken care of. He sometimes hides with new people but from the pictures, he was very happy with DeLena as well. :) We will definitely be booking with her again for the coming year. Thank you so much!”

All cats in the house are over 10 years old, and have various diet restrictions and medications to administer, one even receives an IV every 3 days that I help give!
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.
About: I’m 22 and I’ve lived with dogs and cats my whole life—puppies, old timers, and everything in between. Animals aren’t just pets to me, they’re family. Whether it’s walks, playtime, baths, cuddles, feeding, or just hanging out, I’ll do anything when it comes to your four-legged kids. I’ve cared for people’s pets before, and it’s something I enjoy. I’m reliable, always on time, and go above and beyond what’s expected. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely loves animals and takes care of them like they’re his own, I’m your guy! I currently work a salaried position from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM on weekdays. **Weekday Availability:** Evenings after 5:00 PM are wide open for pet sitting, cuddles, and any necessary care—whether it's feeding, walking, or simply keeping your pet company. **Weekend Availability:** The weekends are the real treat! I'm available all day Saturday and Sunday for anything from quick visits to overnight stays. If your pet needs a cozy sleepover, Friday and Saturday nights are ideal. When caring for pets, whether at my home or my client's, their comfort and safety always come first. Your pet's well-being is my top priority. At my home, I offer a wide-open, fenced backyard where animals can explore safely. Inside, I maintain a secure, pet-friendly space with no hazards. If requested by owners, I can accommodate crate-training, though you'll need to provide the crate. I have three playful, friendly male cats (under a year old) who love interacting with other animals. I respect every pet's unique personality, ensuring positive and stress-free interactions. Clear communication with owners about their pet's preferences is key—so you can feel confident your pet is in trustworthy hands. My home is stocked with essentials: fresh food, clean water, and plenty of toys to keep pets active and engaged. There's also climbing furniture for those curious explorers. The setup ensures your pet has fun, stays comfortable, and feels at home. Every service is tailored to the unique needs of the pet and the owner. Whether it's an afternoon of supervised play or overnight care, I go above and beyond to create a safe, trusting, and happy environment for every animal. Let me know how I can make your pet's experience even more amazing!
“Quincy was fantastic. My senior cat has been having health issues and I was very worried about leaving her. Quincy was very knowledgeable though, and I felt sure I was leaving my cat in good hands. Throughout my trip I received photos, videos, and detailed updates. Quincy even left a written summary of the stay for when I got home. I couldn't have asked for more.”
About: I have been taking care of animals ever since I was about 9 years old! I had a hamster growing up and we had two family dogs growing up. I have experience taking care of other people's animals as well as taking care of family pets such as my sister's dog (beagle mix) and my parent's dogs (two Chesapeake bay retrievers and a rescue hound). I also have experience taking care of cats for family & friends! I also have experience helping take care of newborn puppies, as my stepdad breeds Chesapeake Bay Retrievers. I love animals and I am very passionate about taking care of them and have always had a special place in my heart for them. As of right now I work full time, from 8am-5pm I am available evenings after 5pm and I am available on weekends.

I will be sure to follow any instructions or guidelines you need met for your fur-baby. I am a respectful individual and I will be sure your pet has the best care!
About: Animals have always been a big part of my life — I grew up around dogs, cats, and pretty much every pet in the neighborhood, so being around them just feels like home. I started pet sitting for family and friends when I was young, and it kind of grew from there through word of mouth, which honestly means the world to me. I genuinely love spending time with animals, whether that means keeping up with a high-energy pup or just sitting quietly with a pet who needs some company. Every animal has their own personality, and getting to know that is honestly my favorite part of the job.
About: With a background as a Veterinary Tech and a lifetime of personal experience, I offer expert care tailored to your cat's unique personality. Whether your feline friend is a social butterfly who needs non-stop play or a 'wallflower' who prefers quiet companionship from a distance, I excel at reading their cues and respecting their boundaries. As a dedicated cat owner myself, I am highly experienced in daily medication administration and understand the importance of maintaining a routine. I am well-versed in feline enrichment—from providing high-perch views to safe hiding spots—ensuring your cat feels secure, stimulated, and loved while you are away.
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.
“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.”
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: I’ve had 14 years of friends, family and neighbors trusting me for walking, feeding, giving baths, playing, gaining trust, building relationships with their furry family members and anything that comes with taking care of dogs 🥰 I’m currently trying to get a full time schedule on Rover. I’ve always wanted to work a job I absolutely love doing, what’s better than taking care of and playing with dogs all day? Nothing! Due to me not working, I have open availability for whenever your fur babies need to be taken care of! I can take care of your pets in any way that makes you comfortable! There will be a lot of playing and cuddles and love!
About: I have experience caring for cats of all personalities, from playful to shy. I understand that every cat is different and take the time to make them feel comfortable and safe. I’m reliable with feeding schedules, litter box cleaning, and giving attention at your cat’s pace.
About: Your pet won’t just be watched, they’ll be genuinely cared for, safe, and spoiled! I’ve grown up with pets my entire life and have hands-on experience working in doggy daycares, boarding facilities, and a veterinary clinic. I’m trained in administering medications, reading dog behavior, and ensuring each pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I truly treat every pet like family and enjoy getting to know their unique personalities. I prioritize safety, comfort, and clear communication, treating every pet with the same level of care I would expect for my own. I’d love the opportunity to care for your furry friend and provide them with a safe, happy environment while you’re away! I have a flexible work schedule during the week and do not work weekends. I am able to do drop in visits as well as daycare! I have a larger yard away from busy streets, and have been trained to watch for social cues in animals when in a group setting. Animals are in and out all day long for potty breaks and play breaks outside!

“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.”
“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. ?”
About: I have 2 canine good citizen trained dogs and have trained dogs in the past for 4 years. I also have experience with puppies and senior dogs. I currently work from home with 2 dogs. I can cater to various feeding and potty schedules including puppy training. I can also take on walks if needed. Currently an unfenced yard with 2 dogs remote collar trained to stay in the yard. Plenty of space in the yard to take out on a leash or walk to potty if needed.
“Stephanie was a welcoming, warm, patient dog watcher for our tiny Papillon who’s mostly been used to just our family. Poppy got over her shyness and felt comfortable with Stephanie’s other dogs pretty quickly, which speaks to how well behaved they are. Scheduling time with Stephanie was easy, and she was flexible as we discussed dates and times. And Poppy got lots of love and good care. Poppy’s looking forward to a couple of overnights in the near future, and my family is grateful to have found such a caring sitter.”
“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: You couldn't find someone who is more of an animal lover in all areas than me. I love and admire all types of animals, especially dogs and cats and would love and care for your pet as if they were one of my own. We live out in the country with a small fenced in yard and a fairly large 2-story house with lots of room for dog walks if on a leash outdoors and they can have the run of the house indoors! I would offer plenty of potty breaks as needed and would love to play with your pets as well. Toys would be welcome! Would love to have the chance to love and care for your pet and to meet you! Thank-you so much for your time and interest in me for this position!
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.
“Highly recommend Stefanie to take care of your dogs! Our girl loves going to daycare and comes back so tired from a day of love and playing. So many pictures taken and she is always quick to communicate. We’ve tried a few different places, and Stefanie is the best — Thank you Stefanie!”
“We were so grateful that she was able to help us with a last-minute booking. She was kind, welcoming, and took wonderful care of Joy. It gave us peace of mind knowing Joy was in such good hands. We would love to have Joy stay with her again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Dustin’s service is great for someone who’s already doing daycare, or even in somebody else’s home, what he offers is so much more and better. Other places we tried were good and the people were sweet, but our pup just wasn’t getting the quality outdoor time and exercise. Our boy, Laszlo, would get stressed sometimes too with these other dogs at a crowded daycare. Dustin has been the perfect fit for us and Laszlo. We are very thankful.”
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
“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 have extensive hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages and personalities. I’ve worked at two doggy daycares and a humane society, where I gained experience caring for and handling a wide variety of dogs. I’ve also shadowed at veterinary clinics and have had dogs my entire life. I’m comfortable caring for dogs from puppies to seniors and understand that every dog has different needs, energy levels, and personalities. I’m passionate about providing safe, loving, and attentive care to every dog I work with! Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine! I have always had animals and currently care for multiple pets, so I’m very comfortable building feeding, cleaning, exercise, playtime, and attention into my schedule. I enjoy spending time with animals and make sure they receive consistent care, attention, and plenty of love every day. I’m also happy to dedicate additional time to pet sitting, dog walking, and daycare depending on my schedule. I care for every pet as if they were my own. In a client’s home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and plenty of attention and cuddles. I’m respectful of their home and make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and never left without proper care. I understand that every pet is different, so I adjust my approach based on their age, personality, energy level, and individual needs.

“Rebecca & Jonathan were superb! I loved their updates & photos each day post walk. I’m so appreciative of how well they cared for Sheba while I was traveling. Highly, highly recommend!”
About: I've been working with dogs off and on since I was 14. I've helped with vet visits, gone on walks, supervised park visits, and more especially as I've grown up and become more independent. I've also helped friends with training new habits and retraining old ones. I live with my elderly parents mowing the lawn and helping bring in the weekly groceries but after that my time is my own. I've found that having something to do outside the home is also rather rewarding (and going to the gym can be expensive.) For the dogs I sit for, I ask their owners to provide food and outline a schedule to maintain routines. I also ask that owners provide a current phone number and preferred veterinarian in case of emergency. I only work with one pet at a time unless there are multiple pets in the same household and they get along with each other.
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.

“Joe is helping me out big time with my baby Joey. I am using him recurringly so Joey can get some exercise midday. I would highly recommend. Joey looks forward to going on walks with Joe.”
About: Lifetime of hands on experience owning multiple dogs of all different sizes and breeds. My background in aviation and college sports makes me reliable and excellent at communication and has taught me the importance of cleanliness and respect. As a college student, I have a lot of free time outside of mid-day classes. Pet care fits well into my schedule as I can make multiple visits a day if necessary. I care for every pet based on their individual routine and needs. In a client’s home, I follow feeding schedules, walk routines, medication instructions (if applicable), and any house rules to help pets feel comfortable while their owners are away. I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and affection, while also respecting their boundaries and personality. I keep owners updated with photos and messages so they always know how their pet is doing. My goal is to provide a safe, reliable, and low-stress experience that keeps your pet happy and maintains their normal routine.

I try to put on interactive games and toys are highly encouraged to bring! I do freelance work so if I’m pet sitting your baby will be the number one priority!

About: Hi there! We’re a dog-loving duo with years of experience and three sweet, well-behaved rescue pups of our own. 🐾 We both work from home, so your pet will receive plenty of attention, love, and care throughout the day. We’ve spent our lives around animals—caring for our own, helping friends and family, and volunteering with the Humane Society’s Dog Day Out program (and multiple years at SPCA Florida).

We’re confident in caring for a variety of pets and always take the time to understand each animal’s unique personality and routine. We also provide drop-in visits for cats and currently care for a household of three felines. Whether your pet loves playtime, quiet companionship, or sticking to their usual schedule, we’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home. Your pets will be treated like family—because that’s what they deserve. 🐶🐱❤️ We work remotely with flexible schedules, so we're home throughout the day and available most weekends. We can provide care in the mornings, mid-day, and evenings. We also offer daycare for dogs who get along well with ours. *Sunday availability begins at 2pm. **We are currently at capacity for ongoing, multi-day weekly care (ex. 2+ days a week, every week, indefinitely). We are still open to once a week ongoing care at this time. We prioritize your pet’s safety and comfort, whether visiting them at home or welcoming them into ours. We follow routines closely and provide gentle, attentive care. For daycare, we ensure dogs are well-matched with our three friendly dogs and are supervised. Clean spaces, fresh water, and secure environments are a must. We treat every pet like our own—earning their trust through patience, play, and consistency.
