“Karen was absolutely amazing, and we couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter! From the moment we left, she kept us completely at ease with frequent updates, thoughtful messages, and the sweetest photos of our fur baby. You can tell she genuinely cares—she went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect, and our pet was happy, comfortable, and so well loved the entire time. Coming home to a relaxed, well-cared-for pet says everything. Karen is reliable, kind, and incredibly attentive. We’re so grateful to have found her and will 100% be booking with her again. Highly, highly recommend! 🐾💛”

Kylie is for sure my new pet sitter! This was by far one of the best pet sitters I've had in a while. She has a permanent customer now!”
“Mallory was absolutely amazing with Harvey & Jack🤍 She kept me updated throughout their stay, made them feel comfortable, & treated them like her own! Harvey immediately bonded with her (which says a lot because he’s very shy), & Jack came home happy, tired, & well cared for. She was attentive, communicative, & clearly loves animals. I would absolutely trust her with my boys again & highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, kind, & patient with dogs of all personalities & sizes!”
“Morgan was great! Buddy loved the whole family from the start. He had so much fun playing with the kids and Morgan. She even gave him a bath so he smells nice. She is a very sweet person who loves animals and I will definitely be using her again!”
“Taylor took great care of our 7 year old Aussie. He got comfort and exercise. Taylor is a true dog lover. Unfortunately she is an hour away from us BUT worth it and close to the Indiana lake that we visit.”
“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!”
“Jett had a wonderful time! I think he wanted to stay longer & play 😂 We were thrilled to get tons of pictures and videos of our baby as well as really good communication while we were away. Thank you for taking such good care of him and I know he’s looking forward to the next play date!”
“Julie R. Is a kind-hearted, capable, compassionate pet lover who was amazing with my dog. She took him for long daily walks and gave him fun exercise time, kept him clean, fed, safe and happy. She paid attention to his little habits, and accommodated him in the most caring, ingenious ways. My dog was in good hands and came home in good shape and tired— just what a dog-owner would want!”
“Janay and her family took such great care of our fur baby! I don't think she wanted to come home. I am so grateful we were able to relax on vacation knowing our baby was in good hands. Janey sent plenty of pics and remained in communication our whole stay”
“Ashley exceeded my expectations! She was so great with my Golden Retriever. She took care of my dog for 10 days. Ashley was communicating with me constantly, she sent me videos, pictures and messages daily letting me know how my dog was doing. I felt very safe leaving my 3 month old dog with her. When I picked my dog up, she did not want to leave??”
“Gerard takes such good care of our dog Emmett. He treats and cares for him as if he was his own. We couldn’t ask for a better person to trust and care for our lab. Highly recommended!”
“Alexis was great! From picking him up to dropping him off, and everything in between, our dog was happy and we had great peace of mind. She sent us pictures throughout our vacation with updates on our sweet guy.”
“Our shih poo boarded with Kristen for the first time and she was great! She was thorough about asking what our dog likes, his habits, and what his usual schedule is. She sent pictures almost each day to let us see him and know what he was doing. When we picked him up after 4 days he was happy and excited to see us. When she talked to him while we were there he wagged his tale a lot and genuinely seemed to be happy. We will definitely use her again. Thank you, Kristen.”
“Joshua provided exceptional service, demonstrating excellent communication and attentiveness to my fur baby skin allergies. He proactively provided updates and even sent a photograph. I highly recommend his services and will certainly utilize them again.”

“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: 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.

Animals are in and out all day long for potty breaks and play breaks outside!
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.
About: I've had pets for as long as I can remember. I've done dog-sitting multiple times. Most of my dogs have come from an animal shelter, which involves a lot of training, to make sure the dog will listen to commands. My daily and weekly schedule is quite flexible making it easy to schedule services for your furry loved ones. With my flexibility I will be able to prioritize the care of your pets. Even though I have no pets at the moment, I've had several dogs and even hamsters. I have a runner which is a cable line attached to a leash allowing my dogs to roam safely since we don't have an enclosed fence. My dogs eat twice a day. There are multiple times a week that my dogs go to the local dog park to play. I make fun enrichment to engage the mind of my pets, such as treat puzzles.
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats since I was a child. I have house and pet sit for people in the past. I love animals of all types.

About: Okay, so I don’t have a passion for deep cleaning litter boxes; and while I do not have experience administering medications or handling specialized medical care, I do have experience caring for cats and genuinely enjoy their company. One of the things I appreciate most about cats is that every one of them has a unique personality. Whether your cat is affectionate, independent, playful, talkative, or prefers to keep their distance, I am happy to respect their boundaries and care for them according to their comfort level. I get along well with most cats, including the occasional grumpy one with a bit of attitude. As long as your cat is not operating under an “attack on sight” policy, we will probably get along just fine. My goal is to make sure your cat feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while maintaining their routine and giving them the attention they want—whether that means playtime, companionship, or simply a quiet presence nearby.
About: I’ve literally ALWAYS had a cat in my life, so I’m basically part cat. A true cat whisperer. I’m currently a proud cat mom of one. I’ve also lovingly cared for a sick kitty of my own who required daily medications for almost 5 years. Because of that, I’m completely comfortable administering meds & handling specific medical routines with zero stress. I also love traveling myself, so I know exactly how nerve wracking it is to leave your babies behind. Whether your cat is super high energy & wants to play, or they're shy & just need someone patient to give them space, keep the litter box clean & food bowl FULL! I’m here to make sure they feel totally safe, happy, & loved while you’re away.

“As first-time Rover users, we were a little nervous leaving our dog with a sitter, but Rebecca & Jonathan did an incredible job and quickly put our minds at ease. They were attentive, trustworthy, and took great care of our dog. We truly appreciated the experience and would absolutely book with them again! 10/10 would recommend!”
“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. ?”
“Veronika was so welcoming and took great care of our pup. She sent me updates and pictures throughout the day and our pup had a blast. Thank you Veronika for all you do.”

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: Hi! We are passionate about serving owners through their pups 🐶 We have a 9 acre property that your pups have access to. We provide three walks a day and also provide doggie daycare services to help socialize pups, if requested by owners. We have two Bernese Mountain Dogs, Hank and Harley, that we use for socialization. They are lover dogs and enjoy playing with other pups! Daily pictures will be taken and sent to owners. We have a full time staff member, Kristin, to provide services and supervision. We can do drop off and pick ups between 7a - 7p. We have a fully insulated space for pups to feel comfortable and safe. They are always on leashes or enclosed in our outside fence area.
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
About: I've been caring for my own family pets for over 10 years and have also provided pet care for friends and family while they travel. I'm comfortable with daily feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, administering simple routines, cleaning up after pets, and giving them plenty of love and attention. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I'm able to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, meals, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. Pets are rarely left alone for long periods, and I can easily adapt my schedule to meet their routine. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow each family's care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, exercise, medications (if needed), and any special routines. I provide a calm, loving environment with plenty of supervision and positive attention. While my family loves animals and my children enjoy helping with supervised play and affection, I am the adult responsible for all pet care and supervision. I believe in treating every pet like one of our own and keeping owners updated with photos and messages so they can relax while they're away.
About: I have had dogs and cats all my life. I am willing to keep special needs pets and am able to give medication. I am open to discussing any special requirements your pet might have. I live at home with my mom and this is my only job. I am free to give your pet all the love and attention they need. I have a lead in our yard for potty time and live near a dog park for fun and exercise. We will take walks, having brushing time to bond, and have lots of play time. I do have a dog kennel available inside and will have food and water bowls for your pup. We do have cats, so please make sure your dog is cat friendly.
About: I love to make others feel more comfortable about leaving their beloved dog in capable hands while they are away! I work from home so the dogs are not left alone. I love dogs but am not ready to have two in my home full time. Pet sitting helps to keep my dog socialized. I am able to follow a strict routine, give medications and have very flexible drop off and pick up times. My dog is very friendly and I have a fenced in yard for plenty of playtime. I work from home so am here to care for them all day.
About: Hi furry families! My name is Iris and I’m an animal inspired gal.

I would love to meet your babies, give them all the love and attention they need and keep them comfortable in your absence. 🐾 I am available for drop ins, walks, and overnight stays.

I’ve worked for the same company for 27 years and would love to build a steady group of fur friends so I can leave the corporate world and do what I actually love! 🩷 I love to stimulate your dog mentality and physically. I’m an expert ball thrower (just ask my Kato) and I enjoy walking neighborhoods and sometimes adding a little jog.

“Our energetic Doodle could not have been in better hands. My wife often worries about using overcrowded and overstimulating pet daycare. We’re so glad we found Ellie (and her dog Red!). Luna is so happy to go there and we have no doubt she is safe. Bonus that she still comes home tired from all her fun!”
“Gerard was awesome. Would definitely recommend him to anyone. Leaving Ralphie for the first time with him I felt comfortable and not a worry in the world. Thank you Gerard. See you Tuesday.”
About: I’ve been around cats and dogs my entire life and have always had a love for animals. I’d be happy to provide the care, attention, and companionship your pets deserve while you’re away. Working from home Monday through Friday allows me to spend extra time caring for pets and ensuring they receive plenty of attention throughout the day. While my weekend schedule changes from week to week, I’m happy to help whenever I can with advance planning. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities. As a dedicated pet owner myself, I’ll provide the same level of care, respect, and attention that I give to my own pets.
About: Animals lover here. Each animal has their own personality and I adapt to them all exactly what they want and need. If they want cuddles, they get cuddles. If they want space, they get space. I run every morning so having a dog or even cat to run with is even better! Also am an energetic and experienced pet care provider. I have experience caring for cats, dogs, and ferrets before. I am really flexible with my schedule. I am home full-time. I can take your animals anywhere you want. I will love all of your pets and I can guarantee you they will love me. I also have platforms on windows so cats can watch the world go by. Your pets will get all the attention they want. I am currently working remotely so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your furbabies! I like to get up before the sun rises and go for a run, I would absolutely love to be accompanied :) I do not have a fenced backyard. Though the creek is fully around my back yard, my dogs know not to go across the creek. Maybe, my two friendly dogs will help with accompanying yours.

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’ve loved walking and caring for dogs and cats since I was 13 years old. I treat every pet with kindness, patience, and care as if they were my own. I have a flexible schedule and am available most days. Feel free to reach out, and I’ll do my best to accommodate your pet care needs. I prefer caring for pets in their own home, where they feel comfortable and safe. I follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions you provide. I make sure your pet receives plenty of attention, care, and love while you’re away, and I always keep their safety and well-being my top priority.
About: Cat sat for my aunt and friends and worked at a pet daycare for a while. Dogs are preferable and I own a dog so I know more about dogs. I am a college student and looking for a job to do in free time that fits my schedule and I am mostly online so I can sit with the pet all day if needed I do my upmost to take care for the pet and their needs. Mostly taken care of dogs. I have a 4 year old dog.
About: I have over a year of pet-sitting experience and have cared for animals throughout my life, including my own family pets. Animals have always held a special place in my heart, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with them. While I am not a professional pet trainer, I believe consistency, patience, and clear communication go a long way. I treat pets much like young children—helping reinforce good habits, routines, and expectations through positive guidance and repetition. I strive to maintain a structured environment with designated times for learning, exercise, play, and rest so that pets feel secure, engaged, and comfortable. For health reasons, I am sensitive to pet waste, so I can only accept pets that are potty trained or when waste-removal tools are provided. My goal is to ensure your pets feel safe, loved, well cared for, and happy while you’re away. While I do not have any special experience, I do have experience caring for cats and dogs and genuinely enjoy their company. One of the things I appreciate most about animals is that every one of them has a unique personality. Whether your pet is affectionate, independent, playful, talkative, or prefers to keep their distance, I am happy to respect their boundaries and care for them according to their comfort level. I get along well with most animals, including the occasional grumpy cat with a bit of attitude. As long as your pet is not operating under an “attack on sight” policy, we will probably get along just fine. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while maintaining their routine and giving them the attention they want—whether that means playtime, companionship, or simply a quiet presence nearby. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I currently have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate significant time and attention to the animals in my care. This flexibility enables me to maintain feeding schedules, provide regular walks and exercise, reinforce routines and positive behaviors, and ensure pets receive plenty of companionship throughout the day. Because I have greater availability right now than I may have in the future, I encourage interested pet parents to reach out while openings are available. I believe pets thrive when they have consistency, structure, and engagement. Whether your pet enjoys active play, quiet companionship, outdoor adventures, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I am committed to providing attentive care that helps them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you are away. My availability may change over time, but while I have room in my schedule, I look forward to building lasting relationships with both pets and their owners. Whether I am caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I follow feeding schedules, provide fresh water, take dogs on walks, give pets plenty of attention and companionship, and do my best to maintain their normal routines. I also make time for play and mental stimulation, as I believe happy pets are engaged pets. While I can certainly entertain pets on my own, toys and favorite activities are always appreciated and help create the best experience for them. If requested and permitted by the owner, I am also happy to assist with basic grooming tasks such as brushing and keeping coats looking neat between professional grooming appointments. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and comfort level, so I adjust my approach to meet their individual needs. Whether your pet wants to play all day, go on adventures, or simply relax with a companion nearby, I strive to provide patient, attentive care that helps them feel right at home.

My place is a pet friendly environment where they can fully relax & get cozy. While I don’t have a fence, I have a massive yard with a secure lead, so the dogs can get plenty of space while staying safe. Plus, they’ll get tons of attention & plenty of couch cuddles! If I’m coming to your house for a walk or a drop in, I’ll treat your space with total respect. I’ll strictly follow whatever routine you have for feeding, crating, or locking up. I'm always mindful of the little things like wiping muddy paws if it's rainy & making sure the water bowl is totally fresh before I leave. Plus, you can definitely count on lots of fun photo updates so you know exactly how great they’re doing! Whether your pet is hanging out at my place or I’m visiting yours, making sure they feel safe and comfortable is my biggest priority.

Thank you, Heather!”

“Ashley exceeded my expectations! She was so great with my Golden Retriever. She took care of my dog for 10 days.

When I picked my dog up, she did not want to leave??”

Very loving family and I never had to worry about him being lonely or locked up all day!”
