“We love Steve! He is flexible, communicative, friendly, and professional! (Not to mention, one of Roxie's best friends!) He is highly, highly recommended, just don't keep him busy when I need him!”
“Sarah was a great fit for Duke. I had to leave town for a funeral so short notice and she was very accommodating. She kept me updated with how Duke was doing through my trip. I would recommend her for everyone to use.”
“Aurora was very sweet and caring for my Luna, she took Luna in at a very short notice, and was even able to drop her off early ahead of her drop off time which helped me tremendously since I was in the process of moving. Luna was groomed and I received updated pictures of Luna. I would definitely book again in the future!”
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.
“Samantha was fantastic. She took great care of our Irish-doodle, Fitz. She was great about communicating and sending pictures. Her home was very clean and they have a very large fenced in back yard. We will definitely use Samantha again.”
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.
“Joe did a great job watching my dog. He was kind enough to meet me at the airport to pick her up, and then drop her off. This saved me a lot of time, and was very convenient. He kept me updated on how she was doing throughout her stay. I’ll use his services again!”
“Gabriel was so great! I could tell that Lincoln was comfortable at his place. Accommodations and communication was top tier. We’ll definitely use his service again.”
“Alexis was just wonderful! Great communication and updates, thoughtful little touches that shows how much she loves caring for fur babies. She did exceptionally great with our over-eager Pit mix!”
“Katia was very helpful. Her home was clean and her dogs and kitten seemed to do well with Connor. Connor chewed his leash in two and Katia went and bought another and said we did not need to pay her back for the cost. Of course we did though. We would recommend Katia.”
About: I’ve always been around animals! Having cared from a wide variety of animals from a young age I’ve picked up on tons of tips and tricks for training and enrichment! I’m confident in my training abilities, and especially care with disabled/ elderly dogs. Puppies are no challenge either! Any animals are welcome big or small! 🐾 I’m currently working full time, however I get off pretty early in the day and have a ton of wiggle room in my schedule! Weekends are fair game completely! I am incredibly accommodating, so when it comes to pet care in other homes, I 100% prioritize maintaining the current schedules/ routine the animal is used to. I’ll follow specific instructions for playtime, feeding, administering medications, and additional needs. I ensure a clean and happy environment, so cleaning up messes is nothing I’m not used to! On walks I prioritize safety, so the dog will never be off leash and I remain very spatially aware of potential hazards. Walks are where I like to do the most training, so I will also provide a ton of positive reinforcement and patience!
“Bethany was a fantastic dog sitter. Her communication was excellent, and she regularly sent pictures that showed our dog, Gunner was happy and well cared for. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! Thanks again!”
“Kylie was great! She kept in communication with us and sent pictures of how Dolly was doing. We weren’t worried or stressed and could feel like Dolly was in a safe environment. We will definitely use Kylie again!”
“We dropped our Bonz off on Thursday afternoon and they steadily send us pictures until we got home 3 days later. We messaged a few times to check on him and no response was usually accompanied with a photo. I think he enjoyed his stay. Thank you”
“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!”
“Dawn and her family took the best care of my “family “!!! First time using rover. First time boarding and Dawn made me feel better about having to leave my pups. Thank you!! I highly recommend Dawn!!”
“Kari & Clint took great care of my fur baby for Spring Break. They sent pictures often of him getting lots of playing time in house and outside with them and other dogs. He came home happy and tired which is a bonus for us as we head back to crazy schedule.”

“Adrianne was absolutely incredible! Not only was she available to help last minute during the holidays, but she went above and beyond in her care of my cat. She was thorough in making sure she had all the necessary information needed during our meet and greet and implemented my care instructions to a T. I will definitely be reaching out in the future when I’m in need of a cat sitter:)!”
About: I've been taking care of animals since I was 5 when I got my first dog, and I've been caring for animals ever since! I've cared for many different species, such as dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, cows, fish, and a couple of reptiles! I'm always looking for new animal friends and would love to meet yours!
“Issabella did a great job dropping in to give our cat Doug love while we were gone for 2.5 weeks! We felt rest assured he’d get played with and given attention with Issabella around. Very grateful!”
About: I've taken care of pets for as long as I can remember. Family and friends have relied on me to care for their furry friends for over 10 years. I even take care of cats and dogs professionally as a kennel assistant at an animal hospital! I'm a college student who works short hours part-time (at an animal hospital!), so I can always check in with your pet(s) between classes and before and after work! I can leash walk multiple dogs if needed, crate cats and dogs, and of course play with them for as long as they will have me!
About: My wife and I have had pets for many years. We greatly love animals and would love to take care of yours. We rescued a lab golden retriever mix dog several years ago and had him until he died of old age natural causes. We would love to show your pets the same comfort and care that we was able to give to Gus. Thanks for considering us as your pets care provider. I work full time during the day, but my wife works full time from home and can provide care during the day while I’m gone. We are available to take your dogs for regular walks and give them a lot of personal attention and love while they are in our care We are available full time between me and my wife. Katherine works from home. We would love to have the opportunity to care for your pets. We have a fenced in back yard for them to run and play We also will walk them regularly and show them much attention. By the end of the day they will be ready for bed.
“As I am sure most pet parents considering a pet sitter are, I think of my pets as my babies. I was getting really stressed out about leaving my 3 cats for 3 days and finding someone to watch them. I was so relieved when I found a sitter and it was an amazing experience. They sent photos, videos, and kept open communication. I felt like my cats were in great hands the entire time and while I was excited to come home, I felt less nervous about being away. I am definitely going to be using them in the future again and would recommend them to anyone.”
“Declan was sooooo amazing! I went on a 7-day trip and he stopped in to visit my cat Ty everyday! I always got lots of updates on his health and conformation that he got his meds. Not to mention all the cute photos! His updates really took the stress off of leaving my cuddly kitty home alone because I knew he was being taken care of. Declan is amazing!”
“Noah was amazing! I had to go out of state to visit family and I had Noah watch my dog and cat for two days. Noah let me know before he arrived at my house and created a card for every time they were at my house. Noah included pictures and updates of my animals each visit! I had a problem with my security system and it resulted in the alarm going off while Noah was there. Noah was really calm and collected during all of it and was a great help! I definitely recommend Noah!”
About: I’ve grown up caring for cats and have years of experience understanding their unique personalities, needs, and routines. I’m comfortable with feeding, litter box care, playtime, enrichment, and giving cats the patience and affection they need while their owners are away. I also have dogs who love cats, so I’m familiar with creating a calm and safe environment for feline friends. I treat every pet like family and prioritize their comfort and well being.
“Ashlyn did I wonderful job of taking care of my cat! Hired her for drop in visits and she did amazing. Very attentive to instructions and great communication. My kitty loved her and I would definitely recommend her/will be using her in the future if I need to!”
About: I grew up with at least always one dog in childhood home and was one of the few, if not only, kid on the street that parents and neighbors would ask to not only watch their kids but also take care of their fur (etc.) babies . Cats and dogs, rabbits and guinea pigs, snakes, lizards and birds are all animals at one point or another I have cared for. I also believe every breed and age of dog or cat deserves as much love and care any any other breed or aged pet! I love the outdoors, including days that arnt sunny and bright, and would love to play and entertain your beloved animal while also making sure all their needs are meet. Home with time to share with your family pets! I try to give ample notification if any changes occur. I am usually very responsive to texting, more so when I am caring for someone's beloved pet. If a client would like to keep their pets stress levels lower while they are on their vacation by having me come take care of their pet at their own territory that is great! I will always take time to play, pet, clean up after and or feed your pet if that is the service you require. Dog walks usually wont end unless the animal has relieved itself (individual pet dependent) and they are smiling those big goofy doggo smiles. My previous occupation had me perform security so I understand the importance of people needing to feel safe and secure in letting someone into their home while its unattended. Please feel free to ask me any types of questions and feel confident that none of your information will be shared/copied etc in any way in addition to the sites our background check.

She kept us updated with pictures throughout the day and gave us a summary of his day at the end (eating, potty habits, etc) . Our dog loved playing i their big backyard with their dog, Marci. Just what we wanted was a worn out puppy at the end of the day! He enjoyed it so much! We have already booked another date.”

About: Animals have always been a part of my life since I was very little, I even remember pretending to ‘babysit’ our dog when I was 5 like I was their parent! And now as an adult my own dog Rainbow is as close to a son as I could have, and I love taking care of him. If you book me I will be there *for* your pet, to play with them, cuddle them, make sure they’re safe and fed, and have everything they need (as well as anything I can do for you as their owner to provide peace of mind). I love working with both people and animals, service is a core value of mine, and I would be honored to take care of your beloved dogs or cats. I love dogs and cats just as much as the other so I can work with anyone. :) Taking care of my dog Rainbow is a daily part of my life, walking him every day at our favorite parks for example. I love to make sure he has toys and when I leave for my part time job I always leave on ‘dog TV’ on Youtube for him. I currently work part time as a barista - but Sundays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays I am always free. Any other day of the week just check in with me to see my availability. I am flexible to make sure everyone’s needs are met. 🤍 Pets communicate non-verbally, and I love being able to understand what they’re ‘saying’ by paying attention to body language and behavior. A lot of people tell me that I have a very calming presence/voice and animals seem to feel safe with me too. I never let my dog run without a lead or leash for his safety, and I try to get him nice treats and food made with real meats and good ingredients. I love caretaking and I’m always thinking of what I can do to make my dogs days happy and enjoyable.

About: I got my very first fur baby when I was 15. She was an albino rat and my best friend. I had her all the way up until she was 3! Which is a long life span for a rat. I spent most of my childhood pet sitting and then as I got older I volunteered with humane societies and partners for animal welfare society (PAWS). As an adult I have fostered. I have brought a litter of 7 3 week old puppies back to life after their mom died. I bottle fed and raised a single week old kitten who is alive and well at 3 months old now. I have a house full of my own babies. My oldest being 3 years old. He will be 4 in June and I’ve had him since he was a pup! I also have 2 cats though they mostly enjoy being outside. I have 5 turtles as well. I love animals. They’ve always been a huge part of my life and my heart. They’re family. My boys are in school and my daughter I only have every other week so my schedule is pretty open. As long as I’m making enough caring for your fur babies my availability will be 24/7. In my home my babies own the house and so will yours. They are free to roam and there’s a dog park 5 minutes away that we go to all the time. I am a stickler for the leash law so I can ensure your pup will always be safe. If there are other dogs at the dog park then we will go to empty baseball diamonds as they are fenced in and often empty. Excercise is important. That being said, if you have preferences and rules I will follow them to a T. These aren’t just pets. They are your children and will be treated as such. I don’t physically discipline my children. I won’t physically discipline your fur children. I do have a camera in my home that records most just living room/kitchen area it’s open concept. And I am comfortable with you having cameras around your home as well.

“Noah was amazing. He accepted the booking last minute very graciously as we had an emergency out of state that left us in a position to leave our sweet pup alone for two days. He took the time to allow Chai to get comfortable with him and took him for a walk each day so Chai wouldn’t feel so isolated.

About: I have gained the reputation in my neighborhood to be the one to call for any pet needs. I’ve taken care dogs, cats, even chickens and I love every second of it. I am currently a college student and I am taking classes over the summer. I am basically free all the time and I am able to schedule my week around pet care. I have pets at home so I will not be able to bring animals into it. I will care for animals at the clients home, allowing the animal to be comfortable in its own environment.
About: I've had pets my entire life- my family wouldn't be complete without my fur babies! Growing up we've had labs, a very large hound mix, and a golden retriever. I got my own dog, a black lab mix, when I graduated college and had her for 14 years until she passed 1.5 years ago. I adopted a stray American bulldog when my lab was around 3, and had her for about 8 years, until she passed. Don't currently have any pups, but I love them to death. I'm able to feed, water, brush, walk, play with, and even bathe them if needed! Hoping to add more puppy kisses to my life! I'm currently between jobs and looking to do something I enjoy on the side, so taking care of your cute critters is ideal! My daughter is at school all day and I have my own vehicle, so I'm happy to drop by your place and help out while you're away. I'm more than willing to accommodate any needs you may have when it comes to your pets. Please let me know how I can make you more at ease! Whether it's a certain thing you need me to do, sharing your cat or dog's likes or dislikes, or just wanting a check-in with a quick photo of Fluffy, I'll do whatever I can to make sure everyone is happy and healthy!
About: I’ve cared for dogs my entire life and have hands on experience with puppies, high energy dogs, and caring for multiple dogs at once. I work part time at a dog grooming shop as a bather, I interact with many different dogs. What sets me apart is my patience, attentiveness, and ability to adapt to each dog’s unique personality and routine. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, bathing, basic training reinforcement, and giving dogs plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. I genuinely treat every pet like my own and focus on making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while their owners are away. Pet care fits into my schedule as I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible but structured routine. I’m able to balance my job while still making time for pet care during my off days, mornings, evenings, and weekends. I’m reliable with planning ahead so I can make sure each pet gets consistent attention, walks, and care without feeling rushed. Even with a part-time job, I prioritize being fully present and dependable when I’m caring for animals. In my client’s home, I always follow their instructions closely to keep pets comfortable in their normal routine. I make sure pets are safe, supervised, and never left unattended for long periods. I keep water fresh, follow feeding schedules, and provide regular walks, playtime, and attention. I’m careful with doors, leashes, and any safety concerns to prevent escapes or accidents. I also respect the home by keeping it clean, organized, and treating it with care, just like I would my own.
About: Caring for animals has been a lifelong part of my life. I’ve always had pets in my home and truly enjoy spending time with animals of all personalities and needs. Over the years, I’ve cared for cats and dogs of all ages—from energetic puppies and playful kittens to senior pets who need a little extra patience and attention. I’m comfortable with a wide range of pet personalities, including shy or independent cats and high-energy dogs that love to play and go for walks. I understand that every pet has their own routine, and I’m happy to follow feeding schedules, provide fresh water, clean litter boxes, administer basic medications if needed, and make sure your pets get plenty of love and attention while you’re away. In my own home, I currently care for two Goldendoodles, a cat, and a 29-gallon fish tank, so daily pet care is simply part of my routine. I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe and cared for when you’re not there, and I take that responsibility seriously. Cat visits tend to fit especially well with my schedule and offer great flexibility alongside my full-time job, but I also welcome dog visits and would love the opportunity to care for them as well. My goal is always to make sure your pets feel comfortable, safe, and happy until you return home. I work a full-time job with hours that may vary between 9:00 AM and 7:30 PM throughout the week. Because of this, my pet visits typically take place before work or in the evenings after work. I’m also sometimes able to stop by midday during my lunch break or on my days off, depending on my schedule that week. I do my best to be flexible whenever possible and will always communicate clearly about availability. If your pet has a specific routine or timing needs, feel free to reach out and we can see what works best. My goal is to provide dependable, consistent care while making sure your pets feel comfortable and well looked after while you’re away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. During visits, I make sure pets are fed according to their schedule, have fresh water, and that litter boxes or potty areas are clean. I spend time giving them attention, playtime, and companionship so they don’t feel lonely while their family is away. For cats, this often includes feeding, refreshing water, cleaning the litter box, playtime, and some quiet companionship depending on their personality. For dogs, visits can include feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and lots of positive attention. I always respect the client’s home and follow any specific instructions provided for their pet’s care. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Every pet is different, and I take the time to learn their personality and routine so they feel comfortable and cared for during each visit.
About: My name is Tyra . I love pets. My family and I have always had animals. I’ve had dogs, cats, a bird, and even a squirrel. I absolutely adore animals and I’d love to be able to play with and spoil everyone else’s pets as well. I love playing with both cats and dogs. And I love petting them and keeping them busy. I would take them outside when ever they need it and feed them. And I’d be happy to go by any special rules or guidelines you needed me to, whether they were for the pets diet or exercise or anything else you needed. I’m currently a stay at home wife so I’m always available to play with and take care of your precious fluffy and furry little babies. I have an unfenced yard so I have to use leashes. I’m perfectly fine with pets being on the furniture and on the bed. They’re a part of the family.
About: Starting from when I was little, I always loved animals. My first dog was my dachshund Holly who I took to 4H training classes, walked, and played ball with. Later in life I attended and graduated with a degree to be a Veterinary Technican. I did my internship here in Muncie at Boyce Animal Hospital and was then hired on as kennel staff before transitioning to a tech position. I worked at Happy Dogs for a couple years in daycare and boarding services. I currently am back at Boyce as an assistant. I have experiences with giving medications to both dogs and cats. I also have a knowledge of general health concerns of both cats and dogs from my experiences with my own animals and the animals I’ve worked with. I currently have 1 dog and 3 cats and would love to get to know your pet family through walks, play, and pets!
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals since the time I was very little. I just have a passion for animals and they bring me lots of joy! I’m very free since there’s summer. So I’m pretty flexible and free in morning and and evenings. Really anytime, I love going on walks and usually out and about! I have a fenced yard. My house is pretty big, there able to be out and about! I’m able to be flexible and do what you ask for your animal
About: I have been obsessed with pets since I was a little girl. Thanks to me, at one point my family had 6 dogs at one time, a cat, 2 bunnies, and 2 birds. I showed dogs as a young girl and did horseback riding. I have experience with breeds of all sizes and temperaments. I am a Registered Nurse, I work full-time, but I work from home a lot and have a lot of flexibility with my schedule! I have multiple times during the day that I am free to help out for anyone who needs their pets to be be checked on or let out for potty breaks! I can care for your pets however you would like me to. I know we all have routines and preferences for our fur babies! I’d like to make them feel as comfortable as possible!

“We love Steve! He is flexible, communicative, friendly, and professional! (Not to mention, one of Roxie's best friends!) He is highly, highly recommended, just don't keep him busy when I need him!”
“Sarah was a great fit for Duke. I had to leave town for a funeral so short notice and she was very accommodating. She kept me updated with how Duke was doing through my trip. I would recommend her for everyone to use.”
“Aurora was very sweet and caring for my Luna, she took Luna in at a very short notice, and was even able to drop her off early ahead of her drop off time which helped me tremendously since I was in the process of moving. Luna was groomed and I received updated pictures of Luna. I would definitely book again in the future!”
“Samantha was fantastic. She took great care of our Irish-doodle, Fitz. She was great about communicating and sending pictures. Her home was very clean and they have a very large fenced in back yard. We will definitely use Samantha again.”
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.
“Joe did a great job watching my dog. He was kind enough to meet me at the airport to pick her up, and then drop her off. This saved me a lot of time, and was very convenient. He kept me updated on how she was doing throughout her stay. I’ll use his services again!”
“Alexis was just wonderful! Great communication and updates, thoughtful little touches that shows how much she loves caring for fur babies. She did exceptionally great with our over-eager Pit mix!”
About: I’ve always been around animals! Having cared from a wide variety of animals from a young age I’ve picked up on tons of tips and tricks for training and enrichment! I’m confident in my training abilities, and especially care with disabled/ elderly dogs. Puppies are no challenge either! Any animals are welcome big or small! 🐾 I’m currently working full time, however I get off pretty early in the day and have a ton of wiggle room in my schedule! Weekends are fair game completely! I am incredibly accommodating, so when it comes to pet care in other homes, I 100% prioritize maintaining the current schedules/ routine the animal is used to. I’ll follow specific instructions for playtime, feeding, administering medications, and additional needs. I ensure a clean and happy environment, so cleaning up messes is nothing I’m not used to! On walks I prioritize safety, so the dog will never be off leash and I remain very spatially aware of potential hazards. Walks are where I like to do the most training, so I will also provide a ton of positive reinforcement and patience!

“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!”

“Christina was great and would recommend her. She provided daily updates and was easy to communicate with throughout the process, from originally booking all the way up past my pup being picked up. Will definitely use Christina again in the future!”
