“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!”
“Our fur babies had the best stay with Destinee. I highly recommend her to care for your fur baby when you go out of town or just for a day trip. She even made Christmas ornaments with their paw prints. Destinee went above and beyond to make our babies feel at home.”
“Our dog had a great time spending the week with Samantha and her family. We got daily updates and videos, and our dog had a BLAST. We are already planning to use her again!”
“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.”
“Everything was great. I appears that my dog Jake like it there. He got a lot of attention. It also appears that Sheila and her husband enjoyed having Jake at their house for six overnights. Sheila sent me a lot of pictures and kept me informed about how Jake was doing. Sheila said that she primarily takes small dogs, but that she will occasionally take a big dog like Jake (Lab), as long as the big dog is well behaved. I believe that Jake was well behaved at her house. I will have to check with Sheila to see if she will take him again in the future.”
“Nicole was excellent with our dog Prime. He is a larger very excitable dog and we always are concerned when finding a new sitter. But, Nicole was able to calm him and take him on walks. The pictures she sent during his stay showed a happy and content dog. We recommend Nicole highly and will definitely book again.”
“savanna has been going to nicole for over a year and gets the best care ! she treats savanna like one of her own dogs and savanna loves playing with all the other dogs ! i would recommend her services over and over again !”
“I’m so happy I picked Jacklyn to be my dog sitter . She was amazing and kept me updated about my fur baby . He loved her backyard. Can’t wait to book his next stay 😊”
“What a wonderful experience for us and Hondo. He loved it and so did we. It was a completely stress-free time away knowing he was well tended. We got all the feedback we needed, pictures, videos, and texts. He got exercise, love, and a little bit of Thanksgiving turkey. When we got home, our pup headed straight to his crate and stayed there sound asleep for hours. Thanks Rachel to you and your daughters for loving him and playing with him. We're already getting our babysitting plans together for our next trip and we're relieved you'll be available for us!”
“Our dog loved staying with Nicole & her family! She was responsive & sent us pictures and updates daily! She made sure that our dog felt like he was part of their family! I would recommend her to anyone looking for a safe family to watch their family while they are away! I will be using Nicole again in the future!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Dayana did an amazing job with our two dogs while we were away for four days. She sent daily updates with videos. Our dogs had a lot of fun playing with her dog too!”
“Bill kept us apprised of Buddy’s stay. Buddy seemed relaxed with Bill, and because Buddy is not the friendliest dog, that told me that Buddy was in great hands. We would love to use Bill’s services again 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!”
“Our pup had the best time at Tonya’s! It was our first time leaving him with someone we didn’t know, and Tonya made us feel so comfortable. We got updates and photos daily, and picked up a very happy boy at the end of his stay! We will definitely be sending our boy to Tonya again!”
“Levi stayed with Stacy during the holiday and Stacy made sure to give us frequent updates. Her son and her pup were also really welcoming to our pups. Stacy also was really accommodating of our drop-off and pick-up!”

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!
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 provided exceptional drop-in care for our cat, Thomas, while we were away on vacation for a week. Thomas is a very affectionate house cat, but he’s usually hesitant around new people. I wasn’t sure if he would come out during her visits, but I needed someone responsible who would maintain his normal routine by providing fresh food and keeping his litter box clean. Molly exceeded every expectation. She sent us daily photos of Thomas enjoying snuggles and playtime with her, along with thoughtful updates about his behavior and how he was adjusting. It was clear she took the time to make him feel comfortable and cared for. Knowing Thomas had companionship and comfort while we were away gave us peace of mind. We would recommend Molly to anyone looking for a dependable pet sitter who is truly in tune with cats. She is a natural with them.”
“Christopher is a wonderful cat sitter. He came to the house each day and besides food, water, and potty care, he spent a lot of time loving on our kitty and playing with her. She is such a sweet social kitty and I know she loved her people time. I would highly recommend and will book Christopher again in the future.”
“Teresa helped with a last minute change to our vacation plans where we needed to extend our time. She was very communicative and took very good care of our boys. We would love to use her in the future!”
“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”
“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 did an amazing job, and provided such good care of my babies! My sweet anxious kittens were very comfortable with her, and she was very good with getting the energy out of my youngest!”
“My cat, Topanga, is on the shy side but warmed right up to Allison! Allison took great care of her while I was away and sent thorough updates daily. I would definitely recommend her to anyone needing a sitter in the area!”
“Nicole was great to work with, especially since our travel plans changed at the last minute. She kept us updated on our diabetic cat, and even gave him his twice a day insulin shots. We would definitely book Nicole again.”
“Jessica was wonderful with my 2 cats! She is super friendly and my cats walked right up to her to say hi. She sends detailed updates with lots of pictures. She is super communicative which is good for this anxious cat mom! I plan to use her again when traveling in the future.”
“Maja is a great rover who leaves detailed notes and pictures. She always makes sure my kitties have the best care and that their area is clean. She reaches out with questions and strives to give the best care. I highly recommend that you use Maja for cat sitting.”
“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.”
“Kelsey has become our regular cat sitter for when we are out of town. My girls remember her each time and at this last visit started rolling over and asking her for belly pets signifying their trust for her. We love having a trusted pet sitter that can come to our home and take care of our beloved pets.”

“Let me first say, I was a little skeptical about using Jackson. But once I met him, some of those worries washed away. I still worried, but throughout the day Jackson communicated and sent photos and my worries washed away. Jackson is the ultimate professional and Milo was extremely happy and pooped when we picked him up. Finding out Jackson offers other services, and I think we have found our new EVERYTHING. I'm already reaching out for a booking tomorrow.”
About: 🐾 Your Dog's New Best Friend! 🐾 Hi! I'm a dependable, compassionate dog lover who understands that pets are family. Whether your dog needs a fun walk, overnight boarding, daycare, or drop-in visits, I'll provide the same love, attention, and care that I would give my own. I enjoy spending time with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and energy levels. From long walks and games of fetch to belly rubs, cuddles, and quiet companionship, I'm happy to tailor each visit to your dog's unique personality and routine. 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! When I amhome, I am HOME!! I work on the road so much i don't go anywhere else i have to!!!! I will do pickups and drop offs!!!! I have crate but do not use them unless told to. I have experience with babies that need emotional support humans just as much as we need them as emotional support pets!!!
“This is the first time I dropped my pups off and didn’t cry and worry about them all day! Mary is just amazing.... my fur babies had such a great time and are excited to go back!”
“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.”
“Destinee is absolutely amazing! She is very flexible (my schedule can be unpredictable and finding Destinee was such a relief… she is very accommodating, and was able to be flexible enough for me to adjust pick up times as I traveled during a couple of days of bad weather without having to worry). Destinee responds quickly to messages and treats our pup Molly so well! I had never used a pet sitter before and was a bit worried how Molly would be with a sitter, but Destinee has been so awesome it really put my mind at ease! Molly is so happy and tired when I pick her up… it’s obvious Destinee is paying great attention to Molly and giving her the physical and mental stimulation she needs as a puppy.”
“Nichole Is an excellent care taker for Appa! Also, That goes To any other dog too, from how I see how she handles these beautiful good boys/girls! Definitely going to be working with her family more! So genuine!”

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.
“I was so lucky to have found you Dayana! Penny loves going there while I work! She even tries running to the door when I drop her off in the morning which tells me she feels safe and loved while there! Thank you for all your help! Before I found you, I wasn’t able to bring penny to town with me as I didn’t have anywhere to take her while I was working. Now I can bring penny with me while I’m in town and can trust she’s being well taken care of!”
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. My goal is simple: happy dogs, peace of mind for you, and an experience that goes above and beyond traditional boarding. Pet care is at the center of my daily routine. Monday–Friday from 7 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., I run a full doggy daycare program where your pup is supervised and engaged all day long. 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.
“Tolu was a great person to work with. We used him on 3 different days for daycare services as we toured the city. He was very flexible with drop off and pickup times as they changed each day. Zeke loved his time with Tolu!!”
“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.”
About: I've moved! If you've booked with me before, please double check my new address! I've had a lifelong fascination with animals and zoology that led me to learning as much as I could about animals. I've been particularly fond of canines, leading me to become a certified dog behaviorist in 2020. I've had 2 dogs of my own, both mid sized mixed breeds, and helped take care of family and friends pets, dogs as small as chihuahuas and large as rotties. I'm self employed and work from home. I'm very flexible and can adjust to specific feeding or medicine times, and can keep near constant supervision if need be. I feel strongly about pets being treated with kindness and patience. I enjoy cuddling and playing games with them. I'll be happy to adjust to the pets individual needs and owner requests.
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life. I’ve been through several pet training courses. I love working with dogs of all sizes, shapes, breeds, colors, and temperaments. I’m a middle school teacher who is currently on summer break looking to make some extra cash. I have a very open schedule throughout the week and would be happy to help out in anyway I can. I have a fenced in backyard and I love to give dogs the exercise that they need. I have experience going on long walks and short walks, I am ver vigilant of a dogs stamina so I can do what’s best for them.
About: Dogs have always been part of my life, but raising our mini Goldendoodle, Benny, since he was 9 weeks old has given me hands on experience with puppy training, crate training, potty training, bell training, socialization, routines, and helping dogs feel secure in a home environment. I especially enjoy working with puppies and younger dogs who benefit from consistency, structure, play, and interaction throughout the day. We also love slower paced and older dogs, though I always want to be upfront that Benny is still young and playful. I value communication, hospitality, and making sure your dog feels safe, loved, and cared for while you are away. My goal is for your dog to feel like they are staying with extended family, not just being watched. I work for myself, so I have a flexible schedule and spend a lot of time at home throughout the week. Your dog will not be left alone for long stretches of time and will be part of our normal daily rhythm, including walks, outdoor time, play, cuddles, and relaxing at home. We are a calm, loving family with two kids who genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs. Benny loves having dog friends around, and we enjoy creating a home environment that feels relaxed, welcoming, and engaging for dogs who enjoy companionship, affection, and structure. We have a large fenced backyard with plenty of space for dogs to run, play, explore, and potty comfortably. Inside the home, we have flexible spaces depending on your dog’s needs, including a tiled basement level for play and movement and a kitchen area that can be separated from the rest of the home for puppies or dogs still working on potty training. We also have Benny, our mini Goldendoodle, who loves other dogs and helps provide companionship and socialization throughout the day. If your dog is crate trained or needs structure overnight or while we briefly step away, we can absolutely accommodate that. We have multiple options available, including crate setups in our large bedroom for added comfort and supervision. Safety, supervision, and helping your dog feel comfortable in our home are always a priority.
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've been a dog and cat owner and caretaker for more than 30 years. I love spending time with dogs and cats of all sizes and ages! I currently have a German Retriever mix named Callie and a Miniature Pinscher mix named Pippa - both are spoiled rotten, love to play with other dogs and do well with cats. I also have 2 cats - Michonne and Betty White. Both do well with other cats and dogs. I'm currently home most days but will occasionally work from home. I am available to provide all services 7 days a week, unless my calendar shows that I’m unavailable due to an appointment. I live in a home that does not have a fenced in yard, but we are close to Pleasant Run trail and area parks. My Golden doodle is a little shy but gets along with all kinds of dogs and cats big and small. The cats also get along with other pets.

“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!”
“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.”

“Ethan was super understanding and flexible with my anxious dog and this anxious owner! He was also very understanding when I accidentally gave my old address. Highly recommend!”
About: I am 23 yrs old and I have loved and cared for pets my entire life! I have always had dogs and cats, but I also have experience with birds, crabs, rodents, reptiles, etc. I also have experience with extra-large dogs (150+lbs)! I’m not afraid of a challenge :) No matter the species, breed, size, or attitude I treat every animal as if they’re my own. I love them all!!! 💕 Animal care is my passion, my hobby, and my life! Protecting and caring for them is my purpose and I vow to protect and care for yours. I am a real estate agent, so my schedule is whatever I need it to be! I am very flexible, and I am willing to go out of my way to make sure that your fur baby receives the care and attention they deserve. I will always follow your directions as to how you would like me to care for your pet. I am willing and happy to walk, feed, water, play, snuggle, crate, give medications, etc. I will also give you consistent updates and even photos of your fur baby if you’d like!
“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 typically have weekends open, and am happy to make early morning or late night visits depending on the needs of the animal and owner. 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’ve grown up with a large family, siblings older and younger. All living under the same roof, giving me no other choice but to have a great amount of patience. Any pet owner like myself knows, you have to amazing patience to be the best pet owner. I have a fur baby of my own and would want him to be with someone who has experience and is truly genuine like myself. I am currently a full time college student who will be home on a very extended break. I feel helping others taking care of their babies is the best thing for me. 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.
About: When I was a kid, I helped my grandfather on his horse farm and would take care of the barn cats. Since then, I have lived in a 3 cat household where two of the cats did not get along and created a schedule so they could both be happy. I can bathe a pet myself if needed, as I have done this for my cat Juniper. My grandparents have two smaller dogs Ginger and Cleo I have cared for for a few days. We have fun taking walks and exploring nature. For bigger dogs, when I was in high school, I would help with the neighbors' Bernese mountain dog Abby, and I have spent a lot of time with my aunt A's doodle Bruno. I have also spent time with medium size dogs, as my aunt B has two pitbull mixes, that are very affectionate and love the dog park. I know that all dogs have different needs and I try to met them. This means that with my uncle’s older pup we won’t do any jogging, but with my aunt’s younger doodle we will definitely jog a bit. I work in education and currently have my days free to spend with furry friends. This means I can be flexible when it comes to pet sitting and spending the night. I am a very friendly, clean, and organized person and I’ll make sure that if I am coming over to your home that food is served and any accidents are cleaned up. As long as you give me a list of what needs to happen for your furry friend, I’ll make sure it gets done. From crating your pup to tricking your pet to take their medication For pups, I will ensure they’ll get the amount of walks needed a day, as well as some outdoor playtime with whatever games they like to play. I will make sure that there is no poop left on our path and check to make sure there isn't anything concerning. Plus, I will feed them according to their schedule. For cats, I will ensure that they get two square meals a day and that their water is never empty. I will also pet and play with them as much as they desire because some cats are more recluse than others. I will also scoop out their litter box, and clean out the litter box if needed
About: I have worked in animal shelters and doggy daycares for years, giving me lots of experience caring for and walking all different kinds of dogs, from easy-going seniors to jumping, leash- biting puppies, to hard pullers. I’ve had dogs my whole life, and I have plenty of my own animas currently. I’ve also owned guinea pigs, birds, and a snake for many years in the past. I have a very open schedule, so I have lots of time to give to your fur babies! I occasionally travel out of town for a few days, but other than that I’m ready to hang out! I’m patient and gentle with all animals, but I also love to play with animals that have more energy. I know how to control even the most difficult dogs on a leash and how to follow specific care instructions for tasks such as feeding and administering medication.
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.
About: We have had pets in our home since I was born and I have had my own personal pets since I was 12. I have given baths, walks, play time, trained puppies, etc. we have had animals of all ages and breeds. I am currently working full time 8-5 Monday to Friday close to downtown Indy. I have every weekend off. I can step out on a lunch break if needed depending on location and how long. I typically get an hour lunch. . We treat our pets and friends pets like they are family/children. Feed them for breakfast and dinner, then water as needed. Lots of treats of course!
“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. ❤️”
“Allison has walked my dog for a week while I have been at work. Her and her boyfriend have done an amazing job with my dog. I would suggest them to others and plan on using them in the future.”

“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!”
“Our fur babies had the best stay with Destinee. I highly recommend her to care for your fur baby when you go out of town or just for a day trip. She even made Christmas ornaments with their paw prints. Destinee went above and beyond to make our babies feel at home.”
“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 was excellent with our dog Prime. He is a larger very excitable dog and we always are concerned when finding a new sitter. But, Nicole was able to calm him and take him on walks. The pictures she sent during his stay showed a happy and content dog. We recommend Nicole highly and will definitely book again.”
“savanna has been going to nicole for over a year and gets the best care ! she treats savanna like one of her own dogs and savanna loves playing with all the other dogs ! i would recommend her services over and over again !”
“What a wonderful experience for us and Hondo. He loved it and so did we. It was a completely stress-free time away knowing he was well tended. We got all the feedback we needed, pictures, videos, and texts. He got exercise, love, and a little bit of Thanksgiving turkey. When we got home, our pup headed straight to his crate and stayed there sound asleep for hours. Thanks Rachel to you and your daughters for loving him and playing with him. We're already getting our babysitting plans together for our next trip and we're relieved you'll be available for us!”
“Our dog loved staying with Nicole & her family! She was responsive & sent us pictures and updates daily! She made sure that our dog felt like he was part of their family! I would recommend her to anyone looking for a safe family to watch their family while they are away! I will be using Nicole again in the future!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Dayana did an amazing job with our two dogs while we were away for four days. She sent daily updates with videos. Our dogs had a lot of fun playing with her dog too!”
“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!”
“Our pup had the best time at Tonya’s! It was our first time leaving him with someone we didn’t know, and Tonya made us feel so comfortable. We got updates and photos daily, and picked up a very happy boy at the end of his stay! We will definitely be sending our boy to Tonya again!”
“David was great! Saved our family trip with a last minute booking and listened with my concerns on our meet/drop off. The videos sent were reassuring especially with one of my dogs being iffy but they did great from my view and his word. Thanks again”
“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.”
“Thank you, Kelly! She took such great care of our pups while we were gone for the weekend. We loved the updates and photos throughout the time they were with her! They were happy and worn out from all the attention when we got home ❤️”
“Outstanding.. Every day over the course of 8 days, Jill sent me photos of Howie going on walks, romping through the grass in a large yard, playing with her three daughters, napping in her arms, and enjoying himself. She even clipped his claws which had never been done before (he's two years old). I thought it was impossible to clip his claws, but she did it somehow. Now he's home and he's all tuckered out from his best vacation ever.”
“Great home to leave your pets. We have a senior dog and a younger dog both are poms. Libby is old and doesn’t love every one but she took right to their daughter. Murphey our younger dog usually admires you from a distance he loved her as well. They have never been crated and sleep with us nightly. Their daughter let them sleep with her and sent us cute pics and updates daily. Highly recommend this caretaker for quality of care, love and attention to detail.”
