“10/10 recommend! She was very friendly. My dogs seemed to be very well taken care of. She sent pics and gave me updates. I will definitely be using her for all my future bookings. Thank you so much for caring after my babies!”

“Amber was able to take on my cat at a very short notice, and provided excellent care during my trip out of town. She was also very polite and provided many pictures during the boarding period to keep me in the loop.”


“Ridley loved getting to play with the other dogs at Lynana’s house. I also loved that Ridley got to play with her boys throughout his stay!! Ridley came home worn out ? we will be using Lynana again!!”

“Rachel & get family we're awesome with our Harper! ❤️ I booked boarding on behalf of my sweet MIL, who worries and fusses over her pooch, and was leaving Harper to go on vacation for the first time since so she was adopted. Rachel sent updates and photos daily, and that really put MIL's mind at ease. After meeting Rachel the first time, we had no doubts Harper would be taken care of wonderfully, and she was! Thank you Rachel! 🐾 ❤️ 🐾 Harper”
“Such a great feeling to be able to travel and know my girl is loved and safe. Amanda and her family are excellent sitters, great communicators, and go the extra mile to reassure you your pet is being well cared for. Highly recommend.”

“Anjelica did great with my shy and nervous Sheba. By pick Sheba was seeking attention and pets from her and her husband, which to me means she felt totally comfortable in the facility. The kennels were comfy enough for Sheba to want to go in there and sleep every night. Plus the indoor play area was great. Definitely will rebook when we have to travel again.”


About: I spent a year working at a pet boarding facility called “The Farm At Natchez Trace” in Fairview Tn. I moved out to Evansville for college and I started working at the Vanderburgh Humane Society. I am currently unemployed so I can focus more on college which leaves my schedule open! I also have experience with dog training! I’m currently unemployed and in online college so my schedule is very flexible! I am looking to pet sit/ dog walk/ take care of cats as much as possible! Currently I’m only able to pet sit in a clients home but I am willing to learn how to take care of pets exactly how their owners want and I’m very respectful of other people’s belongings!
“Joshua did a great job! Very personable and seemed to get along well with Lucy. His home was very clean and was set up with a large backyard. Lucy has a difficult time with separation anxiety but he seemed to be able to settle her down pretty quickly. I would definitely use Joshua again!”

About: I’ve been professionally pet sitting for 5 years, but grew up around dogs and cats my whole life. I’ve watched dogs of all breeds and ages and love being around animals :) I have one cat of my own named Hank 🫶🏻 I work in a law office Monday through Friday from 7:30 am to 4:30 p.m. I am single and don’t have any kids so I’m able to put all my focus on your animals :) I do not care for pets in my own home due to living in an apartment and I feel that it’s better for the animals to keep them in their own home.

About: I’ve had cats my entire life and grew up caring for them, including four cats throughout my life.( til I recently moved here to Indiana-do not have any pets currently)I currently have three cats back home in Maryland, so I have plenty of hands-on experience with daily care, routines, and personalities. I also understand that cats can be very timid, especially with new people, and I’ve always had a calm, patient personality that allows them to warm up to me at their own pace. I’ve also cared for friends’ and family’s cats while they were away, making sure they were fed, comfortable, and well looked after.
“Irelane was a prompt communicator and even dropped by for a meet and greet before the requested dates which was greatly appreciated. She took care of all of our cat's needs and we came home to a very happy cat. Thank you!”

“Ellie was fantastic with my kitty. All visits were done timely and well. She’s a great caregiver and my kitty liked her. She sent photos and videos each visit. I’ll re-book Ellie again.”

About: I bathe the dogs, water/feed, play/go on walk or running, take them outside to use the bathroom after they get done eating there supper. If they need medicine before or after eating there meal, I can do that because I had to do it with my German Shepherd once. Animals give me pride, joy, and make me feel special inside and stress is gone. Animals should be treated like a family member in your home. Someone will always be home that you meet during the meet n greet to ensure your animals are taken care of. It fits my schedule Tuesday through Friday I work 7:30am to 2pm sometimes done before that. Daughters are at school during the day. I will make sure that fences are shut, doors are shut as well as making sure theres no holes in the fences for them to squeeze through.
About: I’ve always loved being around animals and understand that every pet deserves patience, kindness, and plenty of attention. Whether it’s going for walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping your pet company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I’m reliable, responsible, and committed to following your pet’s routine and any special instructions you provide. I know every pet has a unique personality, and I take the time to make them feel comfortable and loved. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and energy levels, and I’m happy to help with puppies who need extra patience, as well as senior pets who may require a slower pace and additional care. My goal is to treat every pet like they’re part of my own family, giving you peace of mind while you’re away. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine alongside my part-time job. I’m most available during the mornings, making them the perfect time for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, and playtime. I also have flexibility in the afternoons and can often accommodate additional visits when needed. I always do my best to be reliable, communicate clearly, and work with pet owners to find a schedule that meets both their needs and their pet’s routine. My goal is to provide dependable, loving care whenever you need an extra hand. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I carefully follow your instructions, including feeding schedules, walking routines, medication (if needed), and any special care your pet requires. I make sure pets always have fresh water, plenty of attention, and a safe, clean environment while you’re away. During walks, I keep dogs securely leashed, avoid unsafe situations, and pay close attention to their behavior and surroundings. In your home, I’ll treat your property with respect, keep everything tidy, and provide regular updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.
About: I have watched beloved family pets for many friends and family during my life time. Being an animal lover myself, I know that your pets are family and I make sure to treat them as such! Growing up with family dogs and cats, and currently our funky boxer dog Rufus, I know what it takes to be a successful animal sitter and how much love they need. I work a full time job, from 9-4:30 pm Monday-Friday with the exception of one remote day on Wednesdays. Most pets are used to this schedule. I will ensure they will have potty breaks first thing in the morning, during my lunch break at 1, and then once I return to the home at 5. And then several throughout the evening and before bed. I will care for your pet in the environment they feel the safest in… your home. By allowing your animal to remain at home, it eases their stress and anxiety and gives them a comforting feel of familiarity. No need to pack up enough food and treats for the week. I will be happy to follow your thorough instructions on how to care for your pet.
“Emily was the absolute best! She took such great care of our dogs and cats…you can tell she truly loves animals and has a special way with animals. I highly recommend and will definitely use her again!!”

All outdoor time is always supervised and on leash to ensure pets are safe at all times.

I treat every pet as if they were my own, with consistent attention, patience, and care throughout their stay.
