“Our 9 year old collie stayed with Jordan and her family while we were on an extended vacation. Since our dog is getting older, I was concerned about leaving her in a noisy kennel for that long. Boy, did I make the right decision! Jordan and her family welcomed Maisie and treated her like one of their own! We received daily pictures and updates. She has a lovely home with a fenced backyard and we couldn’t have had a better experience! I highly recommend Jordan and will definitely use her again in the future!”
“Lynana is awesome, we needed a sitter for our boxer on our wedding day and we were very apprehensive about letting just anyone take care of him. She was kind enough to meet us before we booked her, as soon as we met her we knew we were in good hands. Lynana is a very kind and nurturing which is why our boy quickly took to her. As soon as we dropped him off he immediately took off to play and seemed to be happy and comfortable. I think dropping him off was easier for him than it was for us, he sure didn't miss me leaving lol Lynana was kind enough to send us pictures of him and we were very happy to see him happy. Definitly recommend Lynana to anyone that needs a dog sitter! Will be using her services again :)”
“Amber was able to take on my cat at a very short notice, and provided excellent care during my trip out of town. She was also very polite and provided many pictures during the boarding period to keep me in the loop.”
“Our 2 senior pups had a great time with Shelley! She was very communicative, worked with our schedule, and sent us pictures throughout the stay to let us know they were adapting well. They usually come home completely exhausted from anxiety after being boarded. But this wasn’t the case after staying with Shelley! We brought home two very happy and well cared for pups ☺️”
“Kelsey was so patient and caring with my dog Shadow! She made sure he was well taken care of and loved since he was so nervous being away from home. She also made sure to send plenty of updates to ease my fears as well!”
“Absolutely phenomenal! I was so nervous leaving my dog for the first time. I could not have asked for a better sitter. Excellent communication and accommodating for my Lady. He sent me multiple pictures and a video every day. I highly recommend using Nick to watch your fur baby!”
“Courtney is wonderful! She took such great care of our pup and definitely put on minds at ease while we were away! I would definitely recommend Courtney for anyone who is needing help with their dogs - she’s amazing!”
“This was our second time boarding Ruby with Amber. She had another great stay and seems to really enjoy her time with Amber and her family. Amber is our go-to sitter now for boarding needs for our Ruby girl!!”
About: I spent a year working at a pet boarding facility called “The Farm At Natchez Trace” in Fairview Tn. I moved out to Evansville for college and I started working at the Vanderburgh Humane Society. I am currently unemployed so I can focus more on college which leaves my schedule open! I also have experience with dog training! I’m currently unemployed and in online college so my schedule is very flexible! I am looking to pet sit/ dog walk/ take care of cats as much as possible! Currently I’m only able to pet sit in a clients home but I am willing to learn how to take care of pets exactly how their owners want and I’m very respectful of other people’s belongings!
“Such a great feeling to be able to travel and know my girl is loved and safe. Amanda and her family are excellent sitters, great communicators, and go the extra mile to reassure you your pet is being well cared for. Highly recommend.”
About: Dogs have always been part of my life, and I’ve been caring for them since I was young. I’m trustworthy and focused on keeping your pet comfortable and safe. I am unemployed so I'm free all weekdays. I do go out on weekends though, but can still care for your pet when needed. I have 2 dogs and 1 cat. They are very playful and good with other animals. I also have a house with a fenced in yard.
About: I have taken care of pets since I was young, and always had pets in my home! I am a huge huge animal lover! We currently have 3 dogs, 3 cats, 2 bearded dragons, chickens, ducks and rabbits. We love all animals! I have been a Stay at Home Mom since my girls were born. Now that they are older, I’m looking for new things to do that I enjoy, and can still be around for my family when they need me. I have a fenced in yard that the dogs run and play in, a detached garage with an attachment. Inside the attachment there is a couch, TV, AC, and heat, with plenty of room to run around and play! It makes a nice little hang out spot. We come out here to play and run around at times. There is also a security camera in the attachment as well. Dog must be potty trained, and good with other dogs and cats. Please be honest, so it won’t cause conflict while taking care of your baby and others. If we take care of larger dogs, they will stay in the attachment and not in the house.
“Michelle is amazing, not only a great person and loves dogs, very down to earth, she is very responsive, gives great updates with pictures so you can see how your babies are doing. She has the sweetest little Yorkie for a playmate. She was willing to keep your exercise and feeding routine going to the best of her ability. We absolutely loved her and will be using her services again.”
About: I have had animals ever since I was born. My grandma had a ranch in Wyoming, and I have owned my own pet since I was 8. I am available for boarding on weekends after 3. During the week I work full time, but am available to sit or walk in the evenings. I have a fenced in yard and a golden doodle and retriever. I also have my own crates so if your dog needs kenneled you don’t have to bring your own. I am available for in house sitting as well. I will send a ton of pictures so you know your fur baby is getting taken care of.

“Ellie was fantastic with my kitty. All visits were done timely and well. She’s a great caregiver and my kitty liked her. She sent photos and videos each visit. I’ll re-book Ellie again.”
About: I bathe the dogs, water/feed, play/go on walk or running, take them outside to use the bathroom after they get done eating there supper. If they need medicine before or after eating there meal, I can do that because I had to do it with my German Shepherd once. Animals give me pride, joy, and make me feel special inside and stress is gone. Animals should be treated like a family member in your home. Someone will always be home that you meet during the meet n greet to ensure your animals are taken care of. It fits my schedule Tuesday through Friday I work 7:30am to 2pm sometimes done before that. Daughters are at school during the day. I will make sure that fences are shut, doors are shut as well as making sure theres no holes in the fences for them to squeeze through.
“And it was great! She took care of a dog a cat and a bunny. Everyone was healthy and happy upon our return. She even pointed out other things such as the cloudiness of our pool because the pool service had not shown up. We will book with her again.”
“Evelyn/Evie did a great job taking care of my 3 cats while I was out of town for 8 days. She even managed to get Gandalf's daily steroid medication down! She sent frequent pictures and videos of them including when Mimi and Gandalf would sit on her lap in the recliner. I highly recommend Evie to pet sit your furry companions.”

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, and have always loved caring for and spending time with them! I am also dog CPR and first-aid certified. And I have completed PackPro online training courses.

About: Hi there! I'm Kels; lover of all things furry, but especially dogs. I've had dogs all my life. Grew up in a home that fostered often. I tried fostering once and she never left. 😆 I have 2 doodles of my own. A 9 year old labradoodle and a 4 year old golden doodle. I've dog sat for friends and family for years in their home, my own, or regular drop ins. I promise to give your dog real attention and affection. My furs are my life and I will treat yours with as much care as I treat mine. I love sharing pictures of your pets while you're away to give you peace of mind and hopefully a few smiles. I know that's something I look forward to when I am away from my pups. I work full time from home with a fairly flexible schedule. I can easily modify my break times for walks, potty breaks, and of course snuggles and playtime. When visiting your home I promise to treat it with respect; valuing your property and privacy. My home offers a fenced in front yard for safe potty breaks, but they will always be monitored when they have access to the yard. For those needing more adventure and space there are 12 acres of grass, trees, and lake to play in. We can discuss placing a GPS fence collar on them if they will have time outside the fenced yard. Safety, fun, and affection are the priorities over here.
“Thank you Lynana for taking such care of my babies. I especially liked receiving the updates with pictures throughout the day. When I picked up my pups they were relaxed and happy. I look forward to being the girls back again soon. Btw: your children are adorable. ?”
About: I love dogs! I’m a full time dog groomer and certified dog trainer. I love providing dogs with the utmost love and care. I also have safety certifications for first aid for dogs! I work full time at home and will be available all day so your pup will have the most fun and freedom that they could want and need! I live in a 2 bedroom home with a dog of my own that LOVES to play and be around other dogs. Your dog will be in great hands!
“Great doggy daycare. My two pups came home happy and tired from playing. Sitter’s dogs were friendly and played nicely with my dogs. Even got pics and videos!!! Will be using this sitter again!!!”
About: Farm grown! I have had closer friendships with more animals than people! I enjoy all types of dogs with all types of needs. I like to play fetch, go for runs/walks, rough and tumble, training, petting, beach and just about any activity a dog likes. Whether you have a pup that needs more exercise or one that just needs some love. I am a veteran, a forever student and a dad. I exercise outside daily regardless of the weather. Might as well bring a friend and make it fun! I am flexible and will provide the type of environment the client requests! I never privoke or push a pet outside of their comfort zone. I see them as children, and will protect them like my own.
About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and have experience caring for pets with all kinds of personalities and energy levels. My first dog was a Jack Russell Terrier named Prissy. She had more energy than I ever thought possible and was incredibly smart! Growing up, my parents also had two Black Labs who were sweet, laid-back companions. When I got my first place, I adopted a Chihuahua who quickly became my best friend. She went everywhere with me and taught me just how special the bond between a pet and their owner can be. Today, I share my home with a Pomsky named Opal. She is the sweetest girl, loves to play, and keeps us entertained every day. We also recently adopted a 5-year-old cat named Luna, who is 15 pounds of pure love and has become a cherished member of our family. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. I will care for your pets with the same love, attention, and respect that I give my own. I work from home Monday Wednesdays and Fridays. I am usually home after 330 on Tuesday and Thursdays. I am almost always home on the weekends unless my calendar states otherwise. Routine is what best fits my home and what opal and my whole family needs, Luna kind of just follow me around and she’s happy with that!
“Amber was a godsend! My German Shepard had a great time and we were worry free during our move to Jasper. Huge yard for the dogs to play. He was very happy to meet his new pal Luna and Luna was a gracious guest too!”
About: I live in Evansville, Indiana, and I have been caring for pets for two years. I love working with animals of all kinds, from dogs and cats two horses in baby chicks, ensuring they receive the best care while you’re away. I have just moved here, I’m originally from Massachusetts so I am looking for a job. Until I find a full-time job, I am free 24/7 I offer care for pets in home or in my client‘s home depending on what they prefer. I am a very active person. I love to go on walks and just be outside in nature. My apartment complex offers a fenced dog park and a walkable trail back to my apartment building.
About: Fully available for end of summer and holiday season stays! I bring 13 years of professional animal care experience including roles in general practice, emergency medicine, internal medicine, and lab diagnostics. As a former vet tech, I’m skilled in medication administration, symptom monitoring, and anxiety management. For the past three and a half years, my husband and I have run a private, in home doggie daycare and overnight boarding service. We offer one on one play, a spacious quarter acre fenced yard, and a secure clean cozy indoor space tailored for comfort and enrichment. With no other pets or children in our house, and the luxury of us both having a schedule that allows us to be home full-time, your pup receives our full attention and supervision 24/7 and they’re cared for like family. Doggy daycare and boarding is our full-time focus, and we’re home 24/7 to provide attentive, personalized care. Each day begins at 8:00am with one on one enrichment play in our spacious, fenced backyard. We avoid group play for safety, only allowing interaction between bonded pets. This approach lets us welcome dogs who may not thrive in traditional daycare settings. After morning play, pups rest before and after meals to prevent bloat, then enjoy relaxed indoor time on our cozy futon or human sized dog bed. Outdoor breaks and play continue throughout the day until dinner at 5:00pm, followed by evening rest and a final potty break at 10:00pm. All dogs are monitored via live feed cameras, ensuring constant supervision. Our goal is to make every stay feel like a safe, joyful home away from home. If you require greater than 8 hours of doggy daycare, pricing will go up to reflect the number of hours needed and the level of care we provide as well as your dog or puppy's needs. Your pup will enjoy full access to our home’s main floor, outfitted with baby gates, plush dog beds including a human sized one for large breeds or bonded pairs and sun bathing areas by large windows perfect for lounging. During the day, dogs are never kenneled unless we need to leave the home for a short period of time and can freely explore both indoors and our spacious, fenced backyard filled with squirrels, rabbits and birds to chase. At night, all pups sleep safely in kennels, monitored by a live feed camera system that streams directly to our phones. We welcome dogs of all ages and sizes. Safety and comfort are our top priorities, and we’re happy to answer any questions during your meet and greet.

About: I Worked at a vet clinic in jasper for a year taking care of dogs and cats services such as cleaning, giving medication, grooming and walking all throughout the week and helping with other procedures. Experience with mildly aggressive animals and hands on experience caring and handling during exams. I learned a lot through that year of working there and loved every bit of it just like I’ll love and care for your pet! I understand that animals need their own care just like us and that includes having their exercise and attention. I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my whole life I used to live with four pitbulls and later on two labs. Hopefully I’m a good fit for you and your pet!

About: I have cared for many variations of dogs, from Pomeranian to Great Dane! I further my love for caring for dogs by working at my local no kill shelter! I am currently working part-time at a no kill shelter. I am also in the National Guard where there are certain days (1-3 days) out of a month where I report to the Guard! I have an open backyard with lots of room for dogs to run around! When at clients homes, I will be very attentive to their pets environment and needs.
About: My name is Brooklynn K, I have been used for dog sitting for many years now. I help out for my neighbors, friends, and family with taking care of their prized possessions! I enjoy taking dogs on walks even if it isn’t the ideal weather outside. I can take your dog to grooming appointments, the vet, etc. I am also willing to just spend some time with your pup if you are busy working or having some time spent away from home! My schedule is pretty touch and go…meaning I am able to make my own schedule. I work part time as a CNA at legacy living and I also work part time as the manager at broken tee here in Jasper. When I am not doing that I am babysitting dogs and humans 😉 I care for pets with respect…letting a stranger come into your home might be scary. I will treat your house with kindness and get straight to buisness.

About: I’m a friendly, patient, and dependable pet sitter who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals. I’m comfortable caring for dogs, cats, and a variety of small pets, and I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. I offer pet sitting, drop in visits, walks, and boarding, with a focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, extremely affectionate, shy and nervous, or prefers their own space, I’ll take the time to understand what makes them comfortable. For boarding in my home, I provide a calm, pet-friendly environment with plenty of attention, playtime, companionship, and regular care. When caring for pets in their own home, I follow their normal routines and treat their home with the same respect I would want for my own. I’m attentive to the little things—feeding habits, behavior, energy levels, bathroom routines, and body language—so I can give your pet personalized care rather than treating every animal the same. Most importantly, I want you to have peace of mind knowing your pets are safe, comfortable, loved, and in good hands while you’re away. I’m able to dedicate time throughout the day to feeding, bathroom breaks, walks, playtime, affection, and general care. For boarding, I make sure pets receive regular attention and aren’t simply left unattended for long periods. I keep my availability calendar updated and communicate with owners ahead of time so expectations are clear. My goal is to provide consistent, dependable care while giving each pet the individual attention they need. When pets stay in my home, I provide a clean and pet-friendly space where they can relax and receive plenty of attention throughout their stay. When caring for pets in their own home, I keep them comfortable by maintaining their familiar routine and surroundings while treating your home with care and respect. I also pay attention to each pet’s behavior and body language, giving them affection and play when they want it while respecting their boundaries when they need space. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident that your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.

“Haley was awesome. She was incredibly friendly and had good question about my puppy's care during drop off. She kept me informed on how he was doing and took the cutest pictures. She was even nice enough to provide the name of a reputable vet since we just moved into town. I highly recommend her!”
