“I booked her last minute and had to adjust pickup time, but she was flexible. Destinee was loving to my dog and he returned home happy and calm. She sent tons of cute pictures. Thank you for loving on my baby!!!”


“We had the pleasure of having Sheila watch our dog, Leo, this past weekend, and we couldn’t be more pleased! From the moment we met, Sheila was warm, professional, and attentive to Leo’s needs. She took the time to learn about his routine and made sure he felt comfortable and cared for throughout his stay. Sheila provided us with regular updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind knowing Leo was in great hands. When we returned, Leo was exhausted and happy, a true testament to the excellent care Sheila provided. We highly recommend Sheila to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”

“I can’t say enough good things about Rachel and how well she and her family cared and took care of my Joey.would definitely use her again and she deserves 10 stars”


“Samantha was the best dog border we've ever had! Our dog is 16 years old and has a few special needs. Samantha managed his care SO well! We were gone for 12 days, and each day Samantha sent us pics and videos! We could see that he was not only well-cared for, but also happy. Our dog took to Samantha, her family, and her dog so well, we thought he might not want to come home again. Thankfully, he was happy to come home. :-) We hope to ask Samantha to care for him again when we travel.”


“Amazing experience. Nico received constant attention, care, and love the entire time he stayed there. I also received lots of pictures, videos, and updates throughout the stay, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. It was clear that they genuinely cared about him and treated him like their own dog. It’s hard to find people you fully trust with your dog, but I felt completely comfortable knowing Nico was in such good hands. HIGHLY RECOMMEND, and I’ll definitely use them again in the future.”

“Nicole and family were great, provided pictures to show how comfortable Gigi was to be there!! Was not sure we would get her back. Will schedule her with Nicole in the future if needed.”

“Brooke and Bryan were so nice. My little girl is blind and Brooke was upfront with me that they have three young boys and wanted to make sure ISD Dolly would be comfortable or not. They had experience with blind dogs in the past so we decided to do a meet ‘n greet. Have fenced areas in front and back so I knew Dolly would be safe. I decided that this would be perfectly fine for her and was 100% correct. Dolly was right at home there. She picked out her favorite chair spots and found a good friend with one of the boys. I received pictures and updates while she was there. Highly recommend them. Will definitely use them again.”

“Mary is amazing!!! Great communication, sent pictures and updates everyday. We never once had to worry about our pup while we were out of state. She treats your pup like they are hers. 100 % recommend!!”

“Well, my puppy was very happy when we picked her up and exhausted, which is what I wanted. It was hard for me not being able to physically see where the dogs hang out but they have so many good reviews, and they sent me pictures which was awesome. And again my pup was very happy when I picked her up we’re gonna give it another try thanks again.”

“Sharon was awesome, she took good care of my dogs and was really flexible when I had to adjust my schedule due to a missed flight. I definitely recommend her.”

“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.”

“Nicole has a great space for pups, and she's very kind and knowledgable about how to care for animals. Fin had a great time with her and her big boy Gus. He must have played so hard because he went right to sleep when I brought him home.”


“Christine provided excellent dog sitting services! She's great at communicating and very responsive. Her friendly demeanor and lovely home with a large fenced yard were perfect for our dog. We'll definitely use her again for any future dog sitting needs. She gave us great peace of mind while our family was on vacation. Highly recommended!”

“I am so glad that I found Nicole. My dogs loved staying with her. She sent me tons of pictures to show me how great of a time they were having, they couldn't even make it home before falling asleep. I will definitely board my dogs with her again.”

“We were so very grateful for Stacy to watch our poodle Marty over Thanksgiving. She was great at communicating and sending pictures of our boy having a good time 🙂 We know he had so much fun, thanks Stacy!”

“This was the first time someone I didn't know watching my dog. This was the best experience. She treated Biggie with the upmost care. She treated him like family. This is my new go to instead of boarding him I got pictures and updates when needed. She even picked up Biggie. I highly recommend”

“Jacklyn was amazing! She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures. She has a beautiful, fully fenced backyard where our pup was able to play. Thank you!!”

About: I offer dog daycare, grooming, and overnight boarding, and I even have a certified dog trainer onsite to support puppies, seniors, anxious dogs, and pups who need extra guidance. With years of hands-on experience, I personalize every stay to your dog’s age, energy level, and personality. My facility is conveniently located off 135 and Stop 11 and features a one acre fenced in yard with four separate play zones for safe outdoor fun. I also have a large indoor play area for rainy or cold days, so your dog gets exercise and enrichment no matter the weather. And here’s what truly makes us different: I don’t believe in nickel-and-diming pet parents. • No extra fees for administering medications • No extra charge for treats throughout the day (with your permission) • No add-on fees for snuggles, playtime, or extra potty breaks • Everything your dog needs is included—love, attention, fun, and care Your dog will enjoy a safe, structured, and loving environment where they can relax, play, and feel right at home.

Boarding is available 7 days a week, and all boarding dogs enjoy access to daycare at no extra charge. Your dog’s care, comfort, and safety are built into every part of our daily schedule. Safety and trust come first. My facility is designed to give every dog a secure, enriching environment. We have multiple fenced yards that allow us to separate dogs by size, temperament, and play style to ensure everyone feels comfortable and confident. An experienced team member supervises the dogs at all times, and we closely monitor behavior, energy levels, and group dynamics throughout the day. Indoors, we have a clean, climate-controlled play area for rest, enrichment, and safe play during bad weather. Every pup is cared for with the same attention, structure, and love we give our own dogs, because their well-being is our top priority.

“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.”

“It was my first time leaving Ace with someone and Mary eased all my worries! She constantly sent me pictures of him and updating me! When I picked Ace up he was not wanting to leave and as soon as he got in the car fell asleep which showed me that he’d been playing the whole time! The next day when I dropped him off he was eager to get to Mary’s. He even got on the car all by himself! Mary and her husband are great for the dogs and very flexible with pick up/drop off times which is a big plus for me.”

He was good and tired from playing all day with other dogs and walking in the park and to top it all off the photo updates on the dog’s activities throughout the day were awesome!! My wife and I just wish we had found out about her sooner!! We will definitely consider her our first option the next time we need daycare, boarding or or the next time Oz just needs a day of fun!”

“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.”

“AMAZING! Spectacular! There isn’t a word to express how amazing Jason and Tania are! Kona was treated like a king :) Tania sent the best pictures and always let me know how Kona was feeling. She communicated every concern and showed how much she loves what she does. After a few walks she figured out his likes and dislikes and just let my pup do his thing whether that was rolling in the grass and just chilling or watching all the squirrels. Kona also LOVED Tania, you could tell by the pictures. I was always at ease knowing that Kona was being cared for so wonderfully. Not only are the best people ever, they are also extremely flexible and are amazing communicators. When ever I had a last minute walk needed or a change in schedule they were eager to help make that change. They will be Kona's number one choice for walks for life. ❤️”

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.

It’s hard to find people you fully trust with your dog, but I felt completely comfortable knowing Nico was in such good hands. HIGHLY RECOMMEND, and I’ll definitely use them again in the future.”

“Nicole and family were great, provided pictures to show how comfortable Gigi was to be there!! Was not sure we would get her back. Will schedule her with Nicole in the future if needed.”

“Brooke and Bryan were so nice. My little girl is blind and Brooke was upfront with me that they have three young boys and wanted to make sure ISD Dolly would be comfortable or not. They had experience with blind dogs in the past so we decided to do a meet ‘n greet. Have fenced areas in front and back so I knew Dolly would be safe. I decided that this would be perfectly fine for her and was 100% correct. Dolly was right at home there. She picked out her favorite chair spots and found a good friend with one of the boys. I received pictures and updates while she was there. Highly recommend them. Will definitely use them again.”

“Mary is amazing!!! Great communication, sent pictures and updates everyday. We never once had to worry about our pup while we were out of state. She treats your pup like they are hers. 100 % recommend!!”

“Well, my puppy was very happy when we picked her up and exhausted, which is what I wanted. It was hard for me not being able to physically see where the dogs hang out but they have so many good reviews, and they sent me pictures which was awesome. And again my pup was very happy when I picked her up we’re gonna give it another try thanks again.”

“Sharon was awesome, she took good care of my dogs and was really flexible when I had to adjust my schedule due to a missed flight. I definitely recommend her.”

“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.”

“Nicole has a great space for pups, and she's very kind and knowledgable about how to care for animals. Fin had a great time with her and her big boy Gus. He must have played so hard because he went right to sleep when I brought him home.”

“I am so glad that I found Nicole. My dogs loved staying with her. She sent me tons of pictures to show me how great of a time they were having, they couldn't even make it home before falling asleep. I will definitely board my dogs with her again.”

“This was the first time someone I didn't know watching my dog. This was the best experience. She treated Biggie with the upmost care. She treated him like family. This is my new go to instead of boarding him I got pictures and updates when needed. She even picked up Biggie. I highly recommend”

“Lauren was amazing! She sent plenty of pictures and made sure I was updated often. I felt like my pups were well taken care of and happy. I will definitely use her again!”

“Couldn’t ask for a better sitter than Kelsey for our cat. We received daily updates and fun pics and Kelsey also went above and beyond to keep our spoiled cat comfortable with her usual habits 😄. I’m happy to recommend Kelsey to anyone and I hope she will always be available when we need care for Rain.”

“my two dogs and I really enjoyed our meet and greet with Bowen! Bowen has a calm energy about her that my dogs felt very comfortable with. Unfortunately, I had to cancel my overnight care at her home due to family needs, but I did want to leave a review about my two dogs and my interactions with her. They were wonderful and I do plan to use her in the future!”

“Garrett and his girlfriend were such lifesavers for watching harvey while I was gone. It was the longest I've left him before but I felt so comfortable the whole time knowing he was happy and safe. They kept me updated with photos and videos the whole time!”

“Laura was amazing. She sent multiple pictures every day which helped put my mind at ease. Also, we were ghosted by our sitter the day we were to leave for vacation. My husband got to their door to drop our dog off and no one answered. He waited for 45 minutes to no avail. I sent Laura a message and she called me within minutes. She was very willing to help. She saved our vacation!”

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. Taking care of animals is truly what I love to do. Pet care is built into my routine through daily feeding, walks, playtime, and grooming, plus weekly cleaning and health checks. 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.
“The duo took in my very nervous babies at the last minute. That matters because sometime life happens and preparation meets unexpected events. They are with me now and it is all worth it.”
