“Huge thanks to Josie for taking such amazing care of Happy for over 40 days! 🐶💛 She sent regular photo updates, which gave me and my husband so much peace of mind.

I’m so grateful — highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving and responsible dog sitter!”
“Ashley & Michael took all my requeata to heart. Truffles had a big doggie smile in several pictures and was sure to reintroduce me to their gentile doggo. I am thankful to them and this platform”
“Our 1 y/o charcoal lab Maverick recently stayed with Sarah and her family for an overnight boarding and cannot say enough good things about this first experience using her. I was very apprehensive, as we'd never used Rover or boarded our dog before, but Sarah and her family made me feel very at ease and were so extremely understanding when we were hours late picking him up due to weather as we were traveling back from our out of state trip. She was wonderful with keeping me up to date on his behavior and how he was handling the stay and sent numerous photos and videos while we were away. 10/10 experience!”

“Abbey and Zach went above and beyond! We had a bad experience with a previous sitter and were nervous leaving our babies again, that fear is gone now with Abbey taking care of them. Abbey left us detailed updates and seemed to truly care for our kitties and enjoyed being with them. We will definitely book with them again! Thank you both again so much.”

About: I have loved cats since I can remember. I have cared for many kitties in my life. I have experience administering shots and medications, personalized feeding, cleaning, and even birthing. I have studied and researched cat behaviors since I could read. I love each fur baby like they are my own.
“Annie was an awesome sitter! Our cat took to her right away and it was clear from the photo updates that she had a great friend while we were away. She was very responsive and prompt with booking and setting up a time to meet our cat. We highly recommend Annie!”
“I needed a drop in cat sitter as I can’t board one of them (vet says no more vaccines for him). Riley lived close and had a good review. I actually didn’t get to meet her and communicated by texts and notes. Was a little worried about having a stranger in my home but everything is fine and the cats seem to have been well cared for. Will use again if available next time I travel.”
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and truly can’t imagine life without them. I’ve cared for all kinds of furry friends over the years — from ferrets and hamsters to cats and dogs — and I bring that same love and attention to every pet I watch. I currently have three dogs of my own (a German Shepherd and two French Bulldogs) along with two cats, so I’m very comfortable managing different personalities, energy levels, and needs.

Friends, family, and neighbors have consistently trusted me to care for their pets, whether for quick check-ins or longer stays. I treat every animal as if they were my own — with plenty of love, attention, and respect for their routines. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priority. I take that responsibility seriously by providing dependable care, regular updates, and treating every pet like my own.

About: I have taken care of multiple sizes and types of dogs since I was a child. We had a dog of our own at our house which I was responsible for walking and taking care of. I also used to take care of my uncle’s shih-tzu on weekends or overnight when I was in high school. Upon starting college, I volunteered frequently at shelters and volunteer organizations where I was able to spend time with all sorts of animals and continue being by dogs. I lived in Minneapolis for the last year and watched multiple large dogs as well as house sitting and drop in visits. I fell in love very quickly with this heart-centered business. I just moved back to Terre Haute and don’t yet have a dog of my own, and I would love to help out and spend time with all of your furry friends. I am currently a full-time student in medical school, but I am home most of the day studying. I believe walking is a hugely important part of a dog and a human’s routine. I love to be outside playing or exploring with my own dog and would love to share the adventure with your pet as well. I am also a lover of grooming meaning I can give a bath and clip nails, but I can’t say I’m the best with scissors. I love quality time with pets as well and will always provide respect and love towards the animal and YOU :) I am a full time medical student, but I spend most of my time at home studying. I am available most times and very flexible. I have a back yard and large side lot. The front of the home is not fenced in. I go on 3-4 walks a day with my furry friends and make sure to give lots of attention and cuddles.
