“Jackson was courteous and responsive and even waived a meet and greet based on our dogs pictures and videos which was greatly appreciated given our tight schedule and distance. Obi looked happy at pickup and we have no concerns. My daughter would’ve loved more pictures of Obi while we were away, but no real complaints here! Thank you!”
“Mary took great care of our very enthusiastic 70 lb husky mix while we were out of town overnight. She sent us multiple pictures even though we were only gone for 24 hours.

She kept us updated with photos and videos all the time, which we truly appreciated. You can really see the love and dedication she puts into her work. We highly recommend her!”
“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.”
“Wonderful as always! Brooke & Family are incredible at dog boarding. My little Ginger always has the best time while staying with them. I already have my next booking with them scheduled!”

After meeting Rachel, she completely put my mind at ease and made me feel confident that Bleu would be in great hands. I was especially nervous since we were going out of the country and couldn’t just come get him if anything went wrong, but Rachel went above and beyond. She sent multiple updates throughout the day along with lots of photos, which meant so much to me and helped me relax. I’m so happy with her care and attention, and I would absolutely trust her again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Natasha was absolutely wonderful with our dog, Beans! From the very beginning, she was kind, communicative, and clearly cared about making sure Beans was happy and comfortable. We loved getting updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was obvious that Beans was well cared for and received plenty of attention and love. We came home to a happy, relaxed pup, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We would happily book Natasha again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dependable pet sitter. Thank you, Natasha, for taking such amazing care of Beans! 🐾💕”

About: I have professional experience working in veterinary medicine and providing compassionate, attentive care to animals with a wide range of personalities and needs. Through my experience, I have developed skills in recognizing changes in behavior, safely handling pets, administering medications when directed, monitoring overall health and comfort, and helping reduce stress during care. I’m comfortable caring for energetic pets, senior pets, and animals that may need extra patience or attention. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important trust, communication, and consistency are. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving owners peace of mind knowing their pets are in experienced and caring hands.
“Molly was amazing with our cats! She was very communicative with us, gave our cats lots of love and care, and stayed longer when one of them started feeling unwell while we were away. Nothing but good things to say about 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 had my cat for a few weeks and was excellent at providing updates about his behavior and well being. She has a very clean place that would serve as a warm, comfy home away from home for any pet. Would absolutely recommend!”
“Stacey was wonderful with our three cats! She was able to jump in to watch our cats on short notice, and made us feel so confident and secure in leaving our pets for a weekend getaway. One of our cats has kidney disease, and Stacey followed our instructions to the letter to help keep our girl happy and healthy! Everyone warmed up to her quickly. We will definitely be contacting her for our future pet care needs!”
About: I’ve been around cats since I was 20 as my mom was allergic to cats a majority of her life. When my sister moved out, she ended up getting cats and I’ve watched them while she has been on vacation before and love getting to see them. Eventually, when I was 22 my mom‘s client at work ended up passing away and we ended up taking in their two cats so I’ve lived with cats for three years. I love being around them and seeing how unique they are with all their personalities!
“Lindi was great with our cat Vivian, came to visit before starting the job, and was flexible with adjusting a schedule. We appreciate her and definitely recommend!”
“Ethan took amazing care of my two cats while I was on a 2 week vacation! He updated me after each drop-in and I loved seeing the photos he took. My kitties and I recommend!!”
“Hannah was amazing with our cat while we were gone for 10 days! She provided pictures and updates. Emmi loved her and the new toy she brought! We will definitely rebook when we leave town. Hannah is really reliable and so good with animals!”
“Heather was the BEST! I’ve never used Rover before, but now I’m sure to rebook. There weren’t any issues and she went above and beyond (cleaned water filter, vacuumed, etc). Gave me such peace of mind while I was away”
“Christopher is amazing. He watched our 2 fur babies while we were out of the country for two weeks. He sent photos every day and went above and beyond to love and care for our cats like they were his own. He is trustworthy, dependable and next time we need a sitter I will definitely ask for Christopher again.”
“Jessica was absolutely great watching my cat, Ayla, while I had to go away for a family trip. She was incredibly communicative and made sure that Ayla was as comfortable as can be while I was away. Highly recommend Jessica for you pet watching needs!”
“Allison watched our cats over the weekend, and did an excellent job taking care of them while we were away. One of our cats has to take medicine with their wet food, and she made sure she ate it, even when my cat was reluctant to come out at first. Definitely recommend!”
“Kelsey was a great babysitter for Ace. She was nice, friendly and accommodating. The communication she provided throughout the whole stay was excellent and made sure to send pictures. I would 100% rebook for my cat again.”
About: I love cats so much I have 6 of my own— kind of embarrassing to say out loud, but they make my life much happier. They each have their own unique personality, and I have been fortunate enough to raise them each from a young age, and watch them grow into adulthood. I’ve never met a cat I don’t like, and respect and appreciate that they are individuals with their own needs, preferences, and habits. I would be honored to care for your fur baby. I’ve cared for cats of all different ages and types that belong to family members, friends, and co-workers. I feel confident in my ability to respect each cat’s boundaries and ensure they are well-loved and cared for in your absence. One of my own cats takes daily medications morning and night, so I feel comfortable providing the same routine care and scheduling consistency for other cats because I understand the importance of reliability.

My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. You can count on me to be reliable, patient, and attentive. I'll carefully follow your instructions for feeding, medications, exercise, and any special needs. I also know how important peace of mind is, so you'll receive regular updates with photos and messages so you always know how your pup is doing. I take pride in creating a calm, positive experience for every dog in my care, and I love building lasting relationships with both pets and their owners. Whether you need daily walks, weekend boarding, or last-minute help, I'd love the opportunity to care for your furry family member. I can't wait to meet you and your best friend!

“We have been very lucky to find Mary only minutes away from our home. We have dropped our puppy, Mario, at Mary’s twice now and both times, he came home exhausted and slept very well. Mary sent pics during the day to keep us updated and is very quick to respond to texts.”

“Once again, you guys go above and beyond for Rocky! Playing in the pool, taking care of his health and always making sure he has so much fun! Couldn’t ask for a better sitter! 5/5 stars every single time!”
About: I go by my middle name, Brandon. I've had pitbulls/pit mixes my whole life (over 40 years) I've got a sweet spot for senior pups and will give them the extra love and care they deserve. And who doesn't love puppies and young doggos. My experience has prepared me to watch after your loved one. I work from home so I'm able to check in whenever it's needed. I typically take my dog almost everywhere I go. My world already revolves around dogs, so I'd love the opportunity to watch after yours. Dogs are family and, as such, they're welcome on all chairs, couches and beds. Unfortunately, my yard is not fenced, but i do live across the street from Garfield Park.
“We were in town for a tournament and with the flexible game scheduling and a lot of unknowns, Nichole was great work with and remained flexible with our schedule. I had to cancel my pup's stay at the last minute and Nichole was so gracious and kind to the adjustment. Next time we are in town, I will definitely be booking her!”
“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 have had pets and farm animals my entire life. I know their needs and prioritize making sure they are met. I am thoughtful, attentive and caring to all! As a full-time remote professional, pet care integrates seamlessly into my daily routine without disrupting my work. My schedule allows me to work comfortably from my home office desk while providing your dog with consistent supervision, regular companionship, and frequent outdoor breaks in my securely fenced backyard. Because I do not offer neighborhood walks, my focus remains entirely on structured indoor play, mental enrichment, and easy access to yard exercise. I strictly care for a limited number of low-maintenance guest dogs at a time. This deliberate limit guarantees that your pet fits perfectly into my balanced workday, receiving high-quality, individual attention and a premium, stress-free stay. Because I work from home full-time, your pet will enjoy a highly structured, reliable routine with constant human company. My home office setup allows me to provide continuous supervision and easy, frequent access to the outdoors throughout the day. For safety, guest pets have a dedicated, pet-proofed space separate from our family areas, and I always feed animals individually to ensure a completely stress-free mealtime. I strictly follow your specific instructions for feeding, medication, and crating to keep your pet’s routine identical to what they enjoy at home.
About: I have taken care of animals since I was a little girl. I have years of experience with dogs, cats, fish, hamsters, and turtles. Friends, family, and neighbors have relied on me to care for their pets. This includes feeding, watering, bathing, administering medications, walking, and playing with your pet. I gave lots of experience with senior dogs and dogs with disabilities. I have a 6 ft privacy fence and a playful gentle dog to keep your pet entertained. There is plenty of space in my home for your pet rome and play. The dog park is in walking distance and we go for walks daily. Our home can be a home away from home for your beloved pet. I am currently working but I have plenty of free time in the afternoon, evening, weekends, and during holidays. I am an elementary teacher and if I’m not working I am at home with my son and dog. I have a fully fenced in yard that consists of a 6 ft privacy fence. I will feed, water, and bathe them as needed. I can administer medications and any individual healthcare as needed. I can take daily walks and even trips to the dog park. I have experience with all sizes and different breeds.
About: I have trained and boarded dogs professionally for 4 years. Along with many years of working with so many different types of animals! Dogs, cats, reptiles, hamsters, horses, goats, & more! I am an animal lover! I have 3 teenagers along with dogs of my own. We definitely are a large bunch but we all work together perfectly! Loving animals is a great joy and I can’t wait to share the love with your fur babies!! I am a certified professional dog trainer and long time animal lover, so pet care is my life! My schedule is open for training, daycare and more! Things to know before booking boarding with me: Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities. I am dedicated to providing a safe, caring, and enjoyable environment throughout their stay. Unless there is an issue or something that requires immediate attention, I provide one update each evening after the day has settled down. This allows me to spend more time caring for the dogs and less time on my phone. For privacy and security, all photos and videos are taken outdoors. I do not send photos or videos taken inside my home. Thank you for trusting me with your pet!
“Roscoe and Kara had a blast with Sheila! I was looking for a day care option that gave them more one on one attention and I have to say, the pups are tired! Thank you!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs my entire life and also worked at a dog daycare and boarding facility. That experience helped me become comfortable with dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities. I’m happy to follow your pet’s routine and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I work from home, which gives me flexibility throughout the day for walks, drop-ins, playtime, and companionship. I love getting outside for walks around downtown Indianapolis and enjoy having a four-legged friend join me. I know every pet has different needs, so I take the time to learn their routine and preferences. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or out on a walk, I prioritize safety and I’ll keep you updated with photos along the way.
“Andrea was wonderful. She was super accommodating and sent lots of pictures to us throughout the day. I would be happy to book with her again if we come through the Indianapolis area in the future.”
“Dayana was an amazing dog sitter! Her communication was excellent, and she made sure to send cute pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind. She provided a safe and comfortable environment, and my puppy came home happy, calm, and clearly well cared for. I would definitely recommend Dayana to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive sitter!”
“My experience was great. It was very easy and smooth each day that I brought my puppy over. She seemed happy when she got home and had clearly spent some energy throughout the day! Would recommend. Thanks again!”
About: Hi, we're Ash and Mike! In our house, dogs are considered part of the family, and yours will be treated like one of our own. We've lived with and loved dogs for many years, so we know what it's like to leave your pup with someone else, and how much it means when they're in good hands. We're comfortable with all kinds of dogs: playful puppies, high-energy dogs, smart pups who need a job to do, anxious dogs who need patience and reassurance, and seniors who need a little extra support. We're also experienced with more involved medical care, including eye drops, insulin injections, oral medications, and help with incontinence. Our schedule is flexible. Ash works from home full-time over the summer and is only out a couple of afternoons a week during the school year, and Mike is home two days a week and is hands-on with the dogs too, so your pup will have steady company throughout the day. We have a fenced yard for safe outdoor time and potty breaks, and Ash runs regularly and is happy to take dogs out for exercise when appropriate. We’re equally happy to provide walks, playtime, snuggles, and always have a calm home environment to meet your dog’s needs. One note: with two young kids at home (ages 4 and 6), we can only host dogs who are comfortable around children. Pet care fits naturally into our days. Ash works from home full-time over the summer and is only out a couple of afternoons a week during the school year, so your dog won't be left alone for long stretches. Mike is hands-on with the dogs too. Between us, your pup will have steady company, regular walks, playtime, and a calm house to settle into. Ash runs and walks regularly and loves to bring visiting dogs out with her. We treat every dog like part of the family while they're here. Being away from home can be stressful for a pet, so we focus on a calm, safe, loving environment with lots of attention, affection, and supervision. Between Ash and Mike, there's almost always someone around, so your dog won't be left alone for long. Dogs are welcome to relax with us, get plenty of snuggles, and head outside often for potty breaks and fresh air. We have a securely fenced yard for safe outdoor time and play. We pay close attention to each dog's routine, personality, and comfort level, whether they're energetic and playful or happier in a quieter setting. We're glad to follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, walk routines, and any other care preferences you share. Our goal is for your dog to feel safe, cared for, and as at-home as possible while you're away.

About: I have been taking care of animals all my life, from the pets I grew up with (dogs, cats and horses) to my first job at a small boarding kennel. I grew that love of animals to becoming a vet tech for the past 4 years so I'm well versed in all pets and ailments that come with them. I can medicate and assist with limited mobility creatures of all shapes and sizes. I'm currently working part-time so have plenty of time to take care of your furry friend's! I schedule my days with walks, feedings, and playtime in mind, ensuring each furry client gets the individual attention and love they deserve. I am experienced in meeting pets on their terms and in their environment. I am also respectful of others spaces and their own pets requirements (needing to be crated, etc.).
“Deontae was great! I have an anxious and high energy herding dog who can be a handle full, but didnt phase Deontae at all. He also had great communication. I definitely plan on using him again.”
About: I have professional experience working in veterinary medicine and providing compassionate, attentive care to animals with a wide range of personalities and needs. Through my experience, I have developed skills in recognizing changes in behavior, safely handling pets, administering medications when directed, monitoring overall health and comfort, and helping reduce stress during care. I’m comfortable caring for energetic pets, senior pets, and animals that may need extra patience or attention. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important trust, communication, and consistency are. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving owners peace of mind knowing their pets are in experienced and caring hands. I work full-time Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM–6:00 PM, with Thursdays and weekends off, but I still make time to provide dependable pet care around my schedule. I’m available for morning drop-ins, evening visits, overnight care when planned in advance, and have greater flexibility on Thursdays and weekends for longer visits, walks, and quality time. I understand how important routines are for pets and will work with owners to make sure their pets receive consistent, attentive care that fits their needs. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. With my background in veterinary medicine and hands-on animal care experience, I pay close attention to behavior, routines, and any signs that a pet may be stressed or uncomfortable. I believe trust is built through communication, consistency, and treating every animal with patience and respect. I work to create a calm, safe, and positive environment where pets can feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away, and I provide updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in caring and experienced hands.
“Ben was wonderful with my extra-high-anxiety coonhound. He gave him the time and space to get comfortable, and was incredibly patient building trust. We weren't even sure he'd be able to get Jethro out the door, but my heart exploded with happiness getting a pic of Jethro outside in the sun on his leash for a walk. Ben is a lovely human with a huge heart for dogs who need a little extra love and patience. Would love to book with him again!”
“Nicole did a great job walking my dogs plus she did a few extra things for me around my house. I’m recovering from hip surgery & she offered to do whatever I needed. I highly recommend her.”

“Paola helped me out last minute and was able to provide 2 long walks for my dog while I worked a 14 hour shift. 💗 She sent me so many pictures and I think he likes her more than he likes me!”
About: Former doggy daycare employee, multi-year animal shelter volunteer, and pet sitter extraordinaire for friends and family. I love all animals big and small, but especially enjoy caring for dogs and cats. Not discriminatory toward any breed of dog. I have pretty flexible availability currently and do my best to review and update my calendar every day to ensure it is up to date. I am happy to stay overnight in your home if preferred, and/or do late night and early morning check-ins! I am reliable and understand I am fortunate to have the opportunity to care for your dog. I will be respectful of your privacy and space, and will treat your dog and home as if I am caring for my own.
About: I go by my middle name, Brandon. I've had pitbulls/pit mixes my whole life (over 40 years) I've got a sweet spot for senior pups and will give them the extra love and care they deserve. And who doesn't love puppies and young doggos. My experience has prepared me to watch after your loved one. I work from home so I'm able to check in whenever it's needed.

Dogs are family and, as such, they're welcome on all chairs, couches and beds. Unfortunately, my yard is not fenced, but i do live across the street from Garfield Park.
About: While I no longer have pets of my own, I am always pet sitting for my friends and have always had a very close relationship with all animals, big or small! I currently am a Lyft and Uber driver so my schedule is always flexible, making it easy to do this job whenever there is demand! All animals deserve the love that we give to any person (in my opinion!). They need to know that I'm just as much there to protect them as they are to protect me; to create a mutual bond. I give my all when taking care of your pets!
About: Most of my best friends are dogs! I’ve had at least one dog by my side to adventure with for every stage in my life. I come from a dog loving (and spoiling) house. Even today my mom still has several dogs and our household has four of our own. Dogs bring out the best in people and I believe that people should do the same for dogs. Providing them with fun, enrichment, and a healthy lifestyle are things that I believe should be required for pet owners. But I fully understand that there are many things that can get in the way of giving your pooch their well deserved daily adventures. I’m more than happy to stand in and help with fun walks, playtime, and drop in belly scratches when life gets hectic. I’ve always had a knack for befriending dogs and earning their trust. I know that finding someone who will take care of your pup with the same love and care that you require is a serious matter and I’m more than happy to take on that responsibility. I think one of the best ways to judge a person is how they treat our four legged friends. And I’m exceedingly up for the task. I am usually available after morning drop off at school until afternoon pickup and then again in the evening. I've got a very flexible schedule and can accommodate most requests. Happy to follow any preferences and instructions that you provide to keep your pets safe. If there's a favorite spot to walk, we can do that--or I'm happy to scout out new adventures.
About: I have always cared for animals and have volunteered at animal shelters. I know how to shower them, feed, play, and care for and I have for a couple years now. I work part time but my hours vary and am remote. So pet care fits all through my schedule based on what the needs are! I have a fenced yard where big and small dogs are safe to roam around. I do have a shy fur baby who would take some getting used to another animal around, but is friendly. My dog enjoys walking with others dogs, but is not a hyper dog as he is older now.
“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. ❤️”

“Jackson was courteous and responsive and even waived a meet and greet based on our dogs pictures and videos which was greatly appreciated given our tight schedule and distance. Obi looked happy at pickup and we have no concerns. My daughter would’ve loved more pictures of Obi while we were away, but no real complaints here! Thank you!”
“Mary took great care of our very enthusiastic 70 lb husky mix while we were out of town overnight. She sent us multiple pictures even though we were only gone for 24 hours. Mary and her husband cared for our dog like he was their own. We could not be more pleased with this stay and will definitely be using them again!”
“Super friendly, took amazing care of our 4 month old puppy. Even gave him some pumpkin powder for his soft stool! Highly recommended and will be back. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Sharon was an amazing pet sitter for our 🐶 . She treated her as if she were her own dog, always making sure she was happy, comfortable, and well taken care of. She kept us updated with photos and videos all the time, which we truly appreciated. You can really see the love and dedication she puts into her work. We highly recommend her!”
“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.”
“Wonderful as always! Brooke & Family are incredible at dog boarding. My little Ginger always has the best time while staying with them. I already have my next booking with them scheduled!”

“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.”
“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.”
“Her service was remarkable. Ruby kept me informed on her daily task, sent picture mail and videos daily, I will use her service again. She welcome Purpose with open arms and made me feel good about leaving my little baby, especially being my first time leaving her with strangers and around other dogs.”
“Nicole will always be my first choice to take care of my dogs whenever I need, she handles everything from emergencies to daily loving even better than I ever could. She and her household are truly a blessing.”
“This was my first time leaving my dog with someone I didn’t know, and I was honestly really uneasy about it. After meeting Rachel, she completely put my mind at ease and made me feel confident that Bleu would be in great hands. I was especially nervous since we were going out of the country and couldn’t just come get him if anything went wrong, but Rachel went above and beyond. She sent multiple updates throughout the day along with lots of photos, which meant so much to me and helped me relax. I’m so happy with her care and attention, and I would absolutely trust her again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“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!”
“Our babies, Milo and Quinn, were so well taken care of while we were away!! Garrett and Maria are wonderful and we would highly recommend them! We could tell Milo and Quinnie had a great time - thank you so much!”
“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.”
About: I have trained and boarded dogs professionally for 4 years. Along with many years of working with so many different types of animals! Dogs, cats, reptiles, hamsters, horses, goats, & more! I am an animal lover! I have 3 teenagers along with dogs of my own. We definitely are a large bunch but we all work together perfectly! Loving animals is a great joy and I can’t wait to share the love with your fur babies!! I am a certified professional dog trainer and long time animal lover, so pet care is my life! My schedule is open for training, daycare and more! Things to know before booking boarding with me: Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities. I am dedicated to providing a safe, caring, and enjoyable environment throughout their stay. Unless there is an issue or something that requires immediate attention, I provide one update each evening after the day has settled down. This allows me to spend more time caring for the dogs and less time on my phone. For privacy and security, all photos and videos are taken outdoors. I do not send photos or videos taken inside my home. Thank you for trusting me with your pet!
About: I have had pets and farm animals my entire life. I know their needs and prioritize making sure they are met. I am thoughtful, attentive and caring to all! As a full-time remote professional, pet care integrates seamlessly into my daily routine without disrupting my work. My schedule allows me to work comfortably from my home office desk while providing your dog with consistent supervision, regular companionship, and frequent outdoor breaks in my securely fenced backyard. Because I do not offer neighborhood walks, my focus remains entirely on structured indoor play, mental enrichment, and easy access to yard exercise. I strictly care for a limited number of low-maintenance guest dogs at a time. This deliberate limit guarantees that your pet fits perfectly into my balanced workday, receiving high-quality, individual attention and a premium, stress-free stay. Because I work from home full-time, your pet will enjoy a highly structured, reliable routine with constant human company. My home office setup allows me to provide continuous supervision and easy, frequent access to the outdoors throughout the day. For safety, guest pets have a dedicated, pet-proofed space separate from our family areas, and I always feed animals individually to ensure a completely stress-free mealtime. I strictly follow your specific instructions for feeding, medication, and crating to keep your pet’s routine identical to what they enjoy at home.
About: I grew up with dogs and cats and have always loved animals. Although I'm not technically trained, I did go through obedience school with my Labrador retriever in Middle School and learned proper handling of tugging dogs. I have also had to handle lifting medium sized dogs (the lab and pit mixes) due to deteriorating health in old age. I live in a single, smoke-free household with a fenced in yard for lots of room for supervised running for dogs. There is also plenty room inside for curious cat exploration. I love all animals and can't wait to get the opportunity to shower all your pets with love. I am currently looking for new employment and can do anytime during the week for boarding, walks, drops ins, etc. I am entirely open for now. I live alone in a single family home with a fenced in yard. Although the yard is fenced in, I would not allow unsupervised time outside and will leave leashing up to the client. Animals will be allowed on furniture unless otherwise stated by the client. I will feed based on the clients request.
