Personalized care for your dog or cat - Patoka

“Lynana was amazing with our dogs. She was very caring and loving. She gave us daily updates and was easy to get ahold of with prompt responses. This was a very easy experience and we will definitely be using her again in the future.”

Sean M.

“Amber is always so good with our dogs! She is extremely good with our senior dog, making sure she gets her pills and being very gentle with her. We have used Amber at least 3 times now and she is the best!”

Kortney B.

“Alivia did a wonderful job with our dog Willow. She let Willow outside to play with her family’s own dog, and other dogs she was boarding. She kept in touch with us by sending pictures, videos, etc. I will definitely use her services again.”

Greg E.

“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.”

Kimberly P.

“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.”

Jesse M.

“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!”

Pamela K.

“Our pup was so well taken care of! We felt very comfortable knowing she was in good hands while we were out of town. Deb and family looked after our dog as if she was their own. Highly recommend!”

Laura D.

“We were first-time users of Rover.com and this was the first time we have left the critters for a vacation…it’s an understatement to say we were nervous!! Alyssa was fantastic with both the pups and with us! Her calm demeanor was so appreciated and she definitely knows her stuff when handling anxious fur babies and their nervous owners…now that we’ve been back a couple of days, I’m pretty sure my female is pouting because she misses Alyssa and her puppies! We will definitely book with Alyssa for future pet-sitting needs and I highly recommend her services for anyone looking for a knowledgeable, loving pet-sitter… she will put your mind at ease and your pups will love her!🐾💙”

Kathy W.

“Joshua is amazing!!! Our grouchy chihuahua mix, Arlo, does not do well being boarded. Joshua agreed to give Arlo a chance. We got a lot of updates and pictures. Arlo did amazing for his first time there. We will definitely be booking again! Thank you, Joshua!!”

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.

“Irelene did an excellent job with my kitties! she was always on top of things, quick to respond to my texts, and sent me daily pictures of them while I was away”

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.

“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 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.

“Jennifer did a good job taking care of my cat, Sasha. She did everything I asked, and more. She fed, watered and took care of the litter box on a daily basis and brushed her, as well. Sasha looked good and seemed fine when I returned from my 12 day trip. I will be calling her again when my next trip comes up.”

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 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 grew up with dogs and cats. Been taking care of my own dogs for 2 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.

“Amanda and her family were amazing. It was the first time I left Millie and Amanda was amazing and kept me updated on Millie and sent pictures. I highly recommend Amanda!”

Shanni R.

“Thank you Lynana for taking such care of my babies. I especially liked receiving the updates with pictures throughout the day. When I picked up my pups they were relaxed and happy. I look forward to being the girls back again soon. Btw: your children are adorable. ?”

About: Welcome to Lou Lou’s Place! Located right off Highway 66 in Wadesville IN is your pups new home away from home! I provide loving, attentive care for all ages and breeds!

I offer a large indoor play area, 7,000sq ft natural grass yard with a deck and gazebo, 6ft privacy fence that is trenched for optimal safety! I offer both boarding and daycare and am extremely flexible! I stay home so I can be with your pet at all times! Typically let outside 4-5 times a day weather providing we have a large fenced back yard with a deck and gazebo. We have a large natural grass backyard surrounded by farm land. 6ft privacy fenced and is also trenched at the bottom to prevent escape. We also have a large deck with gazebo for relaxing in the shade. Indoor is a large sunroom with lots of windows for natural lighting and optimal enrichment

About: If we’ve ever been at a social gathering together, I was the girl hanging out in the corner petting the dogs! I love all dogs, but large and extra large ones have a special place in my heart. I’ve been lucky enough to have many dogs throughout my life, but currently have a Saint Bernard and a Great Pyrenees, both of which I have raised from puppyhood. Having had many big dogs throughout the years, I have become quite familiar with what it takes to give them a good life. I also have experience in many stages of dog life, from puppies to senior dogs, and conditions like arthritis, blindness, and even severe anxiety. I have learned from having my own dogs that it can be really difficult to trust your babies with a stranger. But I want to provide care for your dogs just like I provide for my own- lots of attention, gentle care, and a feeling of safety. And I want to provide YOU with peace of mind, whether it be for your dogs getting a daily walk, check-ins while you’re at work, or overnight stays while you’re out of town. Please reach out to me if you have any questions about my services and I’d be happy to help you come up with a solution that works for you and your pup(s)! I currently work in a freelance fashion so my schedule is typically pretty flexible. I am available most days and times, but this may vary from month-to-month as my work projects evolve. Please reach out to me if you have any questions about certain dates/times! In my home, I have two dogs- a Saint Bernard and a Great Pyrenees, both of which love other dogs! They can often be found snoozing around the house for most of the day, or cuddling with us on the couch in the evenings. If your pup joins us for a night, you can expect us to treat them like one of our own as long as they are comfortable with that! If you prefer your dog be crated or kept separate from my dogs overnight, that is totally fine and I can definitely accommodate that. We have a very large back yard with plenty of space to explore (on-leash as we don’t currently have a fenced-in area). I take my dogs out 3x/day minimum but can take yours out as much as needed per your request. For puppies and some senior dogs, I understand the bathroom frequency is much higher. Because of the nature of my full-time job, I am home most of the time and will likely only accept boarding/daycare when I am planning to be home for the full time. If I should need to leave for a short period of time, your dog would likely be crated or kept separated from my dogs to avoid any potential issues (not that I suspect there would be any, but better safe than sorry!) For dog walking services, I can come to you, or meet you and your pup where you’d like! Depending on what’s available near you, this might look like walking around the neighborhood, or heading to a nearby park for some exercise. If you’re interested in check-ins, I am available to come to you, although price may slightly vary depending on distance from my home. I can provide potty breaks, replenishing of food and water, and just general loving attention for your pup! If there’s any questions you have you don’t see answered here, please reach out!

“Amber was great! Took great care of our girl, and even gave us some great tips about the area. (We were just passing through.)”

“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.”

Stacey U.

“Lexi was great! She was flexible with our drop off and pick up times, and especially when we had a change of plans. Her two dogs are very sweet as well.”

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.

About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, and bunny rabbits. I have extensive care with cats, and rabbits, as I have personally owned them for many years. I am very detail-oriented, punctual, and affectionate towards your animals! I’d love the opportunity to help you out and give you a great Rover experience. I work a full-time job that has very limited hours, so I am available weekdays and weekends. My job is very flexible, so I am very open to scheduling and have a wide variety of availability. I am very gentle and loving towards your pet, and I will do my absolute best to keep them safe, happy, and healthy while you are away!
