Joseph and his entire family show care and love when Jack really needed it. I fully recommend them. Thank you.”

They were perfect! They treated our fur babies like they were at a resort and made sure they were having their own vacation with full house access (of their house!) We got full low down on everyone’s adventure. You can truly tell they love doggies and what they do!! We will definitely use them again!!!!!! Thanks guys!!”
“Jennifer did such an amazing job with our 2 pups! One of them ended up with an ear infection the first day we dropped off and she took such great care of him, even buying him some drops for relief. She was so great at communicating and I could tell she gave them so much love while we were away!”

About: I have experience caring for many species of pets and livestock. Dogs have always been a part of my life, and I've bred, raised, trained, and cared for many dogs in my lifetime. I currently have a dog, cats, a turtle, and a chicken of my own. I've worked professionally with dogs and cats as a vet assistant. Time with animals is well-spent. I'm currently working full-time, but I have time for drop-in care or dog walking on weekends. I have transportation and am willing to work in all seasons. I will provide needed pet services as arranged in your home/property, including feeding, watering, walking, cleaning litterboxes/replacing waste pads, and most importantly, treating your pet with care and dignity.
“Kari and Clint were phenomenal. I got daily updates and pictures and when I needed an extra day at the last minute, they happily accommodated my cat with no complaints. They even sent us home with a new toy and box of treats! I will absolutely be using them again!!”
About: I am not a professional but sometimes I believe that’s okay. I’ve had dogs since I can remember. I’ve always had such a big heart when it comes to animals. I worked at a shelter while I was in high school and the hardest for me was not bringin them all to my house. I have two dogs of my own. They’re both older girls and very very laid back and friendly. I think every dog has personality of their own and that’s what is beautiful about dogs. I think taking care of dogs is more than a chore or a job, i think it’s more of passion. In my opinion you have to love dogs to be able to take care of them the way they need. I hope I can be what you’re looking for.
“Kelly Lea did a phenomenal job caring my two kitties. They were well fed, and kept so happy with playtime and treats. It’s great to be able to enjoy your time away when you know that your fur babies are taken care off by such a caring and wonderful person as Kelly Lea. She kept us updated on their well being with messages and photos. She was on time to every visit even when she needed to adjust one of the visit times. Rest assured we will definitely book Kelly Lea for future needs, what a great experience for all.”
About: I provide calm, attentive care for cats of all temperaments — from playful kittens to reserved seniors. My focus is on creating a stress-free, comfortable environment while maintaining your cat’s daily routine. I take the time to earn their trust through quiet interaction, consistent feeding schedules, and gentle play. Whether your cat needs companionship, or just someone who understands their unique personality, I’m committed to giving them the same patience and respect I give my own.
“They communicated very well about how the stay was going! They sent pictures, communicated when my cats weren't getting along, very patient with my more nervous cat, and loved on my more out going cat like he was their own.”
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.
About: I administer medicine to one of my own cats daily! I’ve had my cats for 4 years (one is 4, the other is almost 2). My almost 2 year old is the trouble child, and has become name acquainted with his vet so I know how to administer most meds! During my 2 years of pet sitting in college, I also administered meds, followed the cats dietary schedule, cleaned litter boxes, snuggled and groomed the cats who were friendly enough to allow me!
About: Ive dog sat for my sisters who both have giant dogs more than I can count and I’ve kept my fathers friends service dog. I love animals and it just feels right I currently work part time so it’s easy to work something out ! All I ask is to ask and let me see what I can do to help! I currently don’t have a dog but I’m looking! My yard isn’t fenced but it it however quite big and if needed I will walk them out there with a leach! My house is big and they are allowed to come inside!
About: I will train the puppies how to give commands. Training will be conducted according to the pet habits of different customers. Dog walking, feeding and bathing services are also available. I can provide you with the status of your pet in real time, so that you can clearly understand the daily actions of your pet and record it. I will take classes every Monday and Wednesday, and I can do part-time work the rest of the time. I can take care of pets from 2pm to 8pm. If you have any other needs, please contact me in advance and I will arrange the time. We connect the cage to the backyard so that the pets can come and go freely. I accept each client's feeding style and I hope we can communicate before the appointment so that I can make a reasonable feeding based on your situation. I will take care of pets in your home, I will protect your personal property, and I will carry a video camera with me for recording.

About: Over the past two years, I’ve been responsible for caring for a Golden Retriever from puppy to adulthood. I’m familiar with maintaining routines, handling energy levels, and making sure dogs feel safe and well cared for. I am a full-time work from home employee and I’m able to care for dogs while I work. I enjoy getting out to walk and play during the the work day. I have a smaller home, approx 900 square feet. It’s a loving home with two teen girls who love to care for dogs. While my yard is not fenced, we leash walk dogs when they need potty time.

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.”

I am currently a stay at home mom and work part time from home. My schedule is flexible so I can be available as needed. At this time, I will only be offering care in your home. I do have a senior dog that is not friends with everyone. If your fur baby needs a play date, I can bring my 4 year old Australian shepherd who loves to run and play.
About: As a college student and lifelong dog lover, I have cared for my own dogs for years, gaining experience with all ages, sizes, and personalities. I currently am an online college student and entrepreneur so I can fit in any time to dog sit or simply walk you dog! Can’t wait to meet your furry friends. Creating a safe, cozy space with routine, exercise, and affection is key. Prioritize hygiene, follow training rules, and stay attentive to dogs’ needs and comfort.

“A wondering family that took excellent care of my canine. You can expect lots of walks and updates and they even had fresh toys for my dog when I arrived. I will definitely request their services again when I am in town. Thanks so much!”
About: I’m a dog dad myself and have a love for all kinds of pets. Anywhere I go, dogs get pets and greetings before the humans 😅 I have experience with more high needs dogs, as my own dog has digestive issues and requires prescription food, daily medication by mouth with each meal, and monthly injections. I have also dog sat for family friends for many years, giving me experience with insulin injections and specialized feeding schedules. My parents have 3 cats and I’ve spent many weekends taking care of their babies while they’re traveling. My availability is very flexible! During the holidays, I’m available for drop ins and dog walks for anyone traveling for the holidays! During my normal work week, I can easily schedule my days to accommodate dog walks or drop ins to let your furry family members out to potty while you’re away! Weekends are completely open as well! I live in a house with my dog. We have a big grassy yard (unfenced) and plenty of indoor space to play as well! My neighborhood has a nature park and a paved trail for walks. I’m open to watching pets in my home and I can easily come check on yours when you’re away!
“Beth is amazing! She was quick to respond and kept me updated even though my pup was only there for an afternoon. She and her family and pup keep mine busy. Will contact her in the future for sure!!”
“learned about day care day before I needed it and Casey responded quickly and agreed. She was attentive to my dogs individual needs. She kindly pottied them just before pickup, knowing I would be traveling. I would use her again”

About: I have been working at a pets hospital before when I was in China. I have a Rottweiler right now,she is 5 years old. I play with her after I got home. I can take care of your pets on Monday-Friday at 5:00pm-8:00pm,Saturday and Sunday are all day long available,holidays are also all day long available.No overnight! I have a big yard and fence,my dog is very independent,I always play with my dog,she loves the ball and rope.we often play tug of war.
About: Your fur-baby/babies will receive my one on one care throughout their stay. Summertime is a very busy time for dog sitting, so I may have more than one family at a time, but typically I try to book one family at a time. If you prefer just your family’s fur baby to be watched during their stay, please let me know and I will work with you or let you know if I have another family booked during your requested time/times. I have over 20 years of experience with many different dogs, all ages, sizes, and personalities. I have many years experience fostering and rescuing dogs. I have experience giving medication to many different dogs, (even the stubborn ones) working on potty training with puppies and adult dogs, as well as crate training. During the work week, my husband and I work opposite shifts, so your fur babies would only be alone a few hours max during the week. We have a fenced yard and large home for your loved one/ones to run around and release some energy. Your animal’s care is my top priority. I am well versed in watching dogs body language and social cues. I ensure everyone is safe by feeding everyone separately, including my own dogs. Many fur-babies enjoy visiting our home, playing with toys, enjoying treats ( allergy friendly of course) visiting and playing with our dogs and cats, running around our fenced yard, receiving all the pets/scratches/belly rubs, and all of the love and snuggles to make them feel at home. I have experience administering meds, dealing with allergies ( my lab mix is allergic to the world and has to be fed ONLY her prescription food), puppy play and potty training, very active younger dogs, as well as older dogs who may need a little more care or help throughout their stay. I am very patient with anxious, nervous, and shy dogs. I work with your pet when they are anxious whether it’s sitting in a quiet room one on one to ensure they eat, providing their own space when needed, or working on building trust with me in general. I am not a professional trainer, but I have a lot of experience working with a lot of different situations.

“Very polite and professional, will definitely be a returning client for Kari! She walked my chocolate lab named Hiccup even though it started to rain. Thank you so much!”
About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life. I have experience with small dogs and big dogs. I have gone through puppy kindergarten classes with my dog as well. I have taken care of dogs, cats, rabbits, chickens, Guinea pigs, birds and bearded dragons. Pet care fits into my routine as I am pretty flexible on weekends, so that I can let them out frequently. I work as an instructional assistant for an elementary school. I can care for animals before and after work as well as my lunch breaks. I follow the school schedule and get holidays and breaks off as well. I prefer staying in the clients home so that the pets can stay in their comfort zone and as close to their normal routine. With that said, I am also very flexible. I can stay in the home, offer drop in visits or care for them in my home. Whatever the client prefers.

About: I've had a lifelong love of animals — caring for them was a responsibility I embraced from childhood and carried into adulthood. Over the years, I've dedicated time to researching training methods and best practices for working with dogs of varying breeds and temperaments. My hands-on experience includes Great Danes, German Shepherds, Cairn Terriers, Pit Bulls, Yorkies, Goldendoodles, and Labrador Retrievers, giving me a well-rounded foundation for understanding different sizes, energy levels, and personalities. I am currently a full-time student, so I have the flexibility to make sure your pets are walked and checked on through the day. I can also be available for overnights in your home or will consider boarding here on a case-by-case basis. I firmly believe that regular exercise is one of the greatest gifts you can give a dog — both for their physical health and their overall disposition. Ensuring every pup gets the activity they need for a calm, content evening is always my top priority. You can trust that your pet will be in a safe, attentive, and caring environment.
About: I’ve spent my entire life loving and caring for animals. So much so that I’ve devoted my life to them. For the last 10 years I’ve worked as a registered veterinary technician. I’m able to handle any and all pets and anything your loved one might need. Please note that if you are planning on boarding with me I do have small children and cats, so a meet and greet is non negotiable and must be done before the stay. Please message me with any questions I’m very flexible with days and times. Basically I’m available more times than not since I only work part time away from home. Please feel free to message me with any questions on my schedule! In my house everyone is treated like family, lots of love, cuddles, and playtime. But please note, I do have two small children and cats. Due to some serious issues in the past, I do require a meet and greet first. If your pet is known to eat/ destroy blankets or toys please let me know so we can be prepared for their stay.

About: I offer reliable, attentive care for dogs of all sizes and personalities. Whether your pup loves long walks, quiet company, or playtime in the yard, I make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’m patient, consistent, and experienced with both high energy dogs and those who prefer a slower pace. My goal is to keep their routine steady, provide plenty of attention, and treat every dog like they’re my own. I will always do my best to follow your pets schedule each day to help create a low stress stable environment. Please reach out to me for special requests. I care for every pet as if they were my own, with patience, consistency, and attention to detail. For new clients I like to try and have a introduction to help build trust and familiarity. During walks and drop in visits, I make sure dogs get the right mix of exercise, structure, and positive interaction to keep them happy and healthy. For overnight stays, I focus on maintaining their normal routine meals, walks, playtime, and plenty of affection so they feel secure and comfortable in their own home. My approach is calm, reliable, and based on understanding each pet’s unique personality and needs.

They all have a little personality, we just have to take the time to really understand them. Allowing them to be home and comfortable while you are away is the perfect time for you to see.. though the lens of a camera. Enjoy the new video communication!
About: I will genuinely treat your pups like my own! I’ve had pets ever since I can remember - dogs, cats, & even fish. Today, I'm a proud plant & cat mom. Because I love traveling myself, I totally know how stressful it is to leave your babies behind & how important it is to have reliable, trustworthy help you can count on. I love taking dogs on adventures, whether that’s hitting trails to burn off energy or just enjoying a long, sniff filled neighborhood walk. I have experience with all kinds of personalities from high energy pups who want to play non stop, to sweet seniors who just want a slow stroll & some good couch cuddles. I love sending lots of photo updates & making sure your dogs feel safe, happy, & loved! I have a super flexible schedule. My days are open enough that I can easily prioritize structured potty breaks & long walks, without having to rush back to a strict 9-5 desk job. In my home your pet becomes a part of the family! 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.

About: I’ve grown up with a large family, siblings older and younger. All living under the same roof, giving me no other choice but to have a great amount of patience. Any pet owner like myself knows, you have to amazing patience to be the best pet owner. I have a fur baby of my own and would want him to be with someone who has experience and is truly genuine like myself. I am currently a full time college student who will be home on a very extended break. I feel helping others taking care of their babies is the best thing for me. I have a fur baby myself who is quite young in age and full of energy, so with permission of course I would allow our doggies to play together to burn a lot of that energy. I’m also very capable of completing any task wished by my client.
About: I grew up with 3 large breed dogs and have done 2 years of dog walking / pet sitting! During my 2 years of pet sitting, I took care of puppies from 6 weeks old to senior dogs. Things that fell under the description of ‘took care of’ are; picking up poop, feeding / following dietary schedules, administering medications, walks, play time, bathroom breaks, training work, mental stimulation (snuffle mats, kongs, etc.) I do daily dog walks, and am helping my parents raise and train a German shepherd! I also have 2 cats of my own at home. I will travel to your home by car! I do not offer care for your pets in my home due to my cats not being very sociable haha!!
About: I’ve taken care of countless different dogs for years. I have 2 dogs of my own and 3 cats! I’ve also taken care of many friends and families pets. I have worked professionally in pet care as well. I’ve taken care of sick pets, administered medicine, bathed, fed, and just about everything else required to take care of dogs and cats. I run a small cleaning business and am in complete control of my schedule so fitting in time to take care of your pets is very easy! I run a small cleaning business, and control my schedule completely. Which makes it extremely easy to fit in the time to play with and to take care of your pets! When boarding your pets they will have one on one care with myself, let out every 2-4 hours and will be walked in the yard always on a leash (unless requested otherwise). We have a large yard with lots of space for furry friends to play and have a fun. My dogs are very well behaved and typically will stay close by, when we’re in an unfamiliar area they are always on a leash or on a line fixed to a post or tree. I am very familiar with rambunctious pups who get over excited and need to be leashed at all times. My dogs need to be crated at night so doing the same for another dog is no issue.
About: I have 10 years experience caring for Dogs & Cats. I have had animals around me my whole life & I love caring for & working with them. I have trained puppies & supported older senior animals on their way out. My favorite activity is taking them on adventures outside, dependent on the animals temperament/style, some love dog parks, playing fetch, going for drives, hikes, and others just like a simple calm stroll. I also have experience watching & caring for more exotic pets such as reptiles, amphibians, snakes, and farm animals. Throughout my life I've had a few pets a Bearded Dragon, Ball Python, Cat, Dog, a horse, Chickens, and my siblings had pets as well that I helped care for. Whatever mini family member (or maybe not so mini) it is that you're looking to get care for I'm excited to meet them! At the moment I'm currently staying at home & doing this full time. When they're here all my attention will be available for your loved one. I have a small fenced in backyard that they're free to adventure in, though most their exercise will come from walks/the park as it's not that big. There are no children in the home.
About: I started taking care of animals when I was eight. Since then, I have cared for guinea pigs, rabbits, a tarantula, fish, chickens, cows, and of course cats and dogs of various ages. Typically, I will set up a phone call or meet and greet before officially booking. This helps to make sure owners and I are have the same expectations and to meet your adorable pets. I am a full time college student, so my availability is flexible. I am available to check in or stay overnight with your pets. Walking is also something I love to do for exercise or a study break. I currently live in an apartment with a roommate's cat that scares easily with other animals. Therefore, I will only sit in owner homes. I look forward to having a proper place to make a loving dog a home at. When I watch pets in other homes, I like to follow whatever regimen the owner has in place. I have found animals adapt to a new person in their territory when they stick to a routine and are in a familiar place.

Joseph and his entire family show care and love when Jack really needed it. I fully recommend them. Thank you.”

“We are a rescue that was transporting a Foxhound, pulled from a high-skill shelter in SC to our rescue in SE Minnesota. We were unable to secure a volunteer to do overnight boarding for our girl Charlene. I was apprehensive but, I did a search on Rover.com for an overnighter in the Greensburg IN area. Kayla W appeared. I asked the questions, she responded. It was a late drop-off and an early pick-up; no problem, Kayla could and did accommodate us. This woman is top-notch. She is professional, informational and kept us apprise of rescued girl- Charlene. We will definitely be booking with Kayla W again. Thank you for an awesome, first-time experience. Dianne”
About: Pets have been part of my life since I was a child. I began working in a dog boarding facility during my high school years and followed the animal track into my college education and became a licensed veterinary technician. I have pet sitting and veterinary working experience with dogs, cats, cattle, chickens, and horses. I worked in a mixed animal veterinary practice as a licensed veterinary technician for 4 years, then moved to an equine only veterinary practice for close to 5 years and currently at an equine veterinary practice employed as a registered veterinary technician. I have a 2 year old spayed golden retriever who travels everywhere with me as well as a 10 year old shorthair female spayed cat who enjoys her days sunbathing in the sunshine. I work full time as a registered veterinary technician; I typically work 4 days a week with one day off and approximately every 4th weekend at the clinic. I have availability in the evenings, days off, and most weekends. My golden girl loves to play and have company and the cat will offer her cuddles as well during in home stays. I constantly observe the pets I care for and make sure they are happy and healthy. I tailor my care for each individual; whether they enjoy multiple walks, adventures, or just want extra cuddles their happiness is my top priority.
About: I used to take care of my friends dogs and neighbors dogs all the time. I am really passionate about animals and I love to care for them. I plan to be a veterinarian one day. I work night shifts so I have all day and morning to take care of animals that need taken care of. I’d do anytime available. I’d take care of it just like any other animal I’d watch. I’d let it outside, we’d play for a few and then if needed I would give food or water. Make sure the pets healthy
