“Amanda was great. She kept me updated on how my pups were doing and took great care of them. One of my dogs has a lot of anxiety, and she was able to work with him and accommodate his needs. I would definitely recommend her services.”

“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!”


“This was our first time leaving the dogs with a sitter so we were really nervous. Lynana and her family took great care of them and made sure the dogs got settled in. Drop off and pick was extremely easy and she was very flexible. We definitely use her again.”

“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.”

“Raechel was amazing with my Stella girl! She seemed so happy and at home with her while we were in Florida! I didn’t need to worry about her at all because I knew She was well taken care of! Raechel sent me pics and kept me updated with how Stella was doing. We will definitely use her again! I highly recommend her!”

“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.”

“I am very picky about who watches my dogs and I am so happy with the care Joshua provided. I was initially nervous to leave them, but after meeting with Joshua I felt completely comfortable leaving them in his care. He really seems like he knows what he is doing and he is so easy to work with. He also sent me pictures each day without me having to ask which I truly appreciated. My boys were very happy and worn out from all the playing when we brought them back home. I am thankful to have found a good sitter and I will 100% be boarding my boys with him again for our next trip.”

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 grew up with dogs and cats. Been taking care of my own dogs for 5 years now, but have plenty of experience before that. feeding, bathing, potty training, obedience training. I love to go on long walks with dogs, and I love to play with cats! I am a part time server and nanny. I start school in the fall and will have extra time on my hands in between classes and homework. I have two dogs at my home, we go on plenty of walks and we have enrichment time indoors as well as outdoors. I would do the same for your doggo children.
About: I prefer communication between the pet parent and pet and I am having strict instructions. I am loyal and dedicated and love animals. I am ready to care for them I’m available for 5 AM to 7 PM Monday through Sunday preferably if possible 10 AM through 5 pm but I am open to different hours, I am flexible and will work with you I prefer to do drop-ins or daily sitting jobs, I will come when you need me and follow instructions and can’t wait to meet your pets and get familiar with them and then get married with me and take time for them to warm up.

“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’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.
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.
“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!!”

About: I have pet sit for people since I have been about 13, I am now almost 20! I have always had a special place in my heart for animals. I have watched all kinds of animals, even a pig! I am a busy girl, but I love to spend any time I can with animals! I would love to take dogs on walks during the day or nights. I also stay with your dogs for vacations, work trips, etc. aslong as I’m not away for basketball. I would mainly watch dogs in my clients home. Stay the night with them, feed them, and take them on walks. I also love to have playtime with them if they’re up for it, but if not I love to cuddle and give them lots of lovins!
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.

“You need to book with Raechel! She watched my timid pup for 2 days and when I dropped him off the second day, he was super excited to see her again! She sent me pictures throughout the day and messaged me how he was doing. I'll be asking her to keep my pup again.”


“I work as a travel nurse and my little dog travels with me. While I usually can find a sitter for him when I work my 12-hr shifts, it is rare that I find someone like Lynana. She has taken care of Zorro 3-4 days a week for the last 13 weeks and not once did I worry about his well-being. He loved going to stay with her; as soon as we turned into her neighborhood, he would get so excited running from window to window. As soon as I let him out of the car, he would run to her front door. It made me happy to know that he was loved and cared for so much that he didn't mind when I dropped him off. It is with a heavy heart that we had to say goodbye as my next assignment was out of the area. Thank you, Lynana, for loving my li'l dog as much as I do!!”

About: I've grown up around dogs of all sizes and breeds, from a pitbull to german shepherds, chihuahuas, pomeranians, etc. I also love cats. I grew up on a farm out in the country so I've dealt with all types of animals and how to care for them. I am a single mother of 2. Both are girls. I'm searching for a job that I will enjoy doing. I prefer to be around animals. They are such free spirited creatures that just love you if you love them. My favorite dogs are the mean ones. They just need a little extra love than the easy going dogs. I've never been actually bit by a dog either. Overall I'm an easy going person who loves animals alot.

About: I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes for neighbors, friends, and family while they were away for days at a time. I really enjoy making pets feel comfortable and cared for through walks, feeding, playtime, and attention, and I’ve also helped with daycare and grooming pick-ups and drop-offs. I’m currently not working, so I have a very open and flexible schedule to provide pet care full-time. I don’t have children or pets of my own right now, which allows me to dedicate my full attention and care to the pets I’m watching. I’m available for a variety of needs, including walks, drop-ins, and overnight care. I do not have a fenced-in yard, and I live in a quiet private home/villa in a safe neighborhood. All outdoor time is always supervised and on leash to ensure pets are safe at all times. I provide a calm, structured environment and closely follow each pet’s routine, including feeding, walks, and any special instructions from owners so they feel comfortable and cared for like home. I treat every pet as if they were my own, with consistent attention, patience, and care throughout their stay.
