“Rubal was absolutely wonderful with Kingston! I needed a sitter for a last-minute weekend away, and she took excellent care of him. She sent daily pictures and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was gone. Kingston was happy, well cared for, and clearly received lots of love and attention.

About: I've owned cats and care for other cats for 19 years of my life. I clean litter boxes feed/water administer medications. My neighborhood cats coming running when they see me or my car!
“Samantha was so awesome with our cats! She really went above and beyond to make sure they were taken care of and comfortable with her. We received excellent communication about how they interacted, ate, played etc. and of course got lots of pictures. Definitely will be booking with her again for any future trips!”

I’m comfortable feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, providing playtime, and giving plenty of gentle attention.

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 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.

“Another great day of daycare with Miss Lauren! She is so sweet to Brody and Jethro when they need to spend a day with her, and she's a pro at managing their different personalities while making sure every dog gets love and attention. Couldn't have left them with anyone else!!”
“Pete was excited to stay at your house and he looked very happy to sniff around the yard and meet one of your dogs. It is really important to have a fenced dog for a beagle so that is helpful. Pete always likes dogs and kids. I'm sure he will be back sometime in the future. Thaks fo taking Pete kinda last minute!”
“Jesica was great contacting us back when we wanted to have a day care visit for Lucky. She was very good playing with Lucky and slowly introducing him to the other dogs staying with her. She kept us informed of how he was doing and sent photos. We will definitely be using her in the future. Great job Jesica!”
“Pete always enjoys staying with Sheila! I know he is well taken care of. I think he has even finally almost learned how to retrieve a ball...due to another dog at Sheila's house being obsessed with this game. Pete also enjoys watching for squirrels in the backyard.”

“I'm so happy to have found Kari and Clint!! They really made an effort to get to know my little Roxie, and it shows. She absolutely loves going to their house, it's like a dog party to her. It's such a relief to know she's happy, safe and having fun while I'm getting things done, I appreciate the texts, updates and pics that give me an idea of what my girl's day was like. They have made our life so much easier I only wish we had found them sooner! ❤️❤️🐶❤️❤️”

It makes me smile to think of how much fun they are having while I’m at work :) They can’t wait to go do daycare each morning and by the time they leave, they are exhausted from nonstop play. Mary is very knowledgeable and experienced with handling all kinds of dog and puppy personalities and I’m very grateful to keep my pups in such capable hands for daycare!”
“Jasmine was absolutely wonderful with our 4-month-old puppy! She was friendly and polite, and we could tell right away that he was in great hands. She followed all of the instructions we left for her and sent us many updates throughout the day, which we really appreciated. This was our first time leaving our puppy for daycare, so we were naturally a little nervous, but Jasmine made the entire experience completely stress-free. Her communication and care gave us so much peace of mind. We would absolutely recommend Jasmine!”

“Sharon was fantastic! Appears my dogs never even missed us! Ideal arrangement for us to have her watch them while we visited with a friend and her husband when passing through Indianapolis on our way to Wisconsin from our home outside Nashville, TN. Thank you Sharon! I highly recommend others use Sharon if wanting a loving home your pets can stay at when not able to accompany you. I have one dog around 60 lbs and other around 20 lbs. both rotten so loving care is what I want when needing an alternate care arrangement. Sharon met our needs! Now back on the highway.”
“Pete had a good time. Tonya is very easy to work with and was accommodating with my weird work schedule. You can tell she likes dogs. I'm sure we will be back in the future.”

About: I’ve been pet sitting for 3 years and have always loved animals. I’ve cared for everything from fish and small pets to dogs, cats, and horses. I’m comfortable giving medications and handling feeding routines, and I always make sure to clean up after pets while keeping them safe, comfortable, and happy. I work full-time with a schedule that has me out early everyday, which allows me to plan reliable care for dogs. I’m available for afternoon and evening walks, feedings, playtime, and check-ins, and I’m fully present during evenings and weekends. Pet sitting is something I truly enjoy, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. I’ve always loved animals and hope to foster in the future, but for now pet sitting allows me to give animals the care, patience, and kindness they deserve. I’m calm, dependable, and treat every pet as if they were my own. I take pride in being reliable, respectful of homes, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. I’m 19 years old and genuinely love what I do
About: I have experience with several breeds of dogs and different types of animals. My Macee is a 4 year old Frenchton! I have previous experience with cats and goats. My previous Boston Terrier, Angel (and she was an Angel❤️) unfortunately passed away from cancer in 2025 so I also have some senior/disabled pet care experience. I currently work full-time with children so some dates are limited but I am happy to help when/where I can! My availability is typically every other weekend but I may be able to make an exception where needed. Don't hesitate to ask! I currently do not have a fenced in yard so I am only offering drop in/pet sitting in the pets home at this time.
About: I have been around and grown up with pets for my 28 years of life. I have experience with puppies, dogs, kittens, cats, also fish, farm animals. I have been pet sitting for family and friends since I was a teenager. I enjoy making sure your fur babies are happy, safe, and stress free while your traveling or away! I am currently working a full time job but I only work 14 days a month. I am able to be away from home for extended periods of time due to not having children or many home responsibilities that my spouse cant handle! I always will provide timely potty breaks. I am able to clean up any messes made in the home to the best of my ability, I will be sure to stick to any schedules given to the best of my ability and if im not able to offer them I will inform the client so they can choose how to proceed! I treat others home like my own and ensure the best outcome possible!
About: Being an energetic and patient person, your pets will thrive in my care, getting loved like they are my own. I have many years of experience w/ dogs & cats, a couple reptiles, and an occasional hamster. Not having any pets of my own, and being an empty nester, I have a very flexible schedule as well. I am now an empty nester, with no pets of my own, so my schedule is very flexible. I can happily provide short- or long-term care for your pets. I will ensure that your pet is loved and kept safe from harm. I can also give your pet a bath if needed, take them on walks and/or runs, give medication and lots of snuggles!
“Taylor has done an excellent job walking my babies everyday. They love her. She has done some extra things for me since I am recovering from hip replacement surgery. I can’t praise her enough. I highly recommend her. She is very reliable & caring for my pets.”
About: I’ve been dog sitting for co-workers for approximately 5 years but have been an animal lover my whole life! I don’t remember a time when my family did not own a pet! I work 3 12hr shifts a week and have plenty of time to keep your pets company before or after work or on my days off! I would prefer to watch your pets at your home but would not be opposed to keeping them with me! I have 2 cats and currently in the process of rebuilding our fence!
“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 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.
About: I absolutely live for pets to get the care they deserve. After all, our pets are part of our family. I have always had family pets and feel like they are an extension of our family. I work from home and I have a very flexible schedule. If you call...I'm there to take care of your furry friend. It simply takes one phone call for great service. I provide great service to all my clients when ever they need me to go to their home to care for their furry friends. Allow me the possibility to become an extension of your family. Pet care fits my work schedule because I work part time. I can free my schedule anytime. Having a flexible schedule just means I can spend more time with your furry friend and I don't have to be in a rush to get back to work. I have always pampered my pets. 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 have a master's and bachelor's in animal science and plenty of experience with an array of different animal needs, demeanors, and personalities.

It provides structure to my day and keeps me active, mindful, and consistent. I care for pets by providing regular feeding, exercise, supervision, and enrichment. Although I don’t have a fenced yard, I use a designated area in my apartment where dogs can safely roam, play, and relax, along with scheduled walks and attentive care.

“I couldn’t be happier with Dayanne . From the very first visit, it was clear that she genuinely care about my shadows needs . My dog can be a bit shy around new people, but she took the time to build trust and made him feel completely comfortable. Every walk is reliable, on time, and tailored to my dog’s energy level and needs. I also really appreciate the detailed updates and photos after each visit—it gives me peace of mind knowing he’s happy, exercised, and well cared for while I’m away. What truly sets her apart is her professionalism and love for animals. She goes above and beyond, whether it’s refilling water, giving extra attention, or noticing small changes in behavior. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, dependable, and genuinely passionate about dogs, I highly recommend her . It’s made a huge difference for both me and my pup!”
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.
“Bee was great with Evey! They were communicative and showed up in the agreed time frame. Evey was happy to have some long afternoon walks and came home both times worn out which I appreciate!!”

She was accurate in her interpretation of Zula’s fear of storms and watched over her carefully. Leta noticed Zulas love for water so she set up a pool in the yard for Zula to enjoy. I want to give a 5+ rating for the personal loving care the family gave our pup.”
