“Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Willow! It gave me real peace of mind knowing she was in such loving and attentive hands. She was happy, well cared for, and clearly adored her time with you. I truly appreciate everything you did and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you to anyone looking for excellent pet care.”
“Jett had a wonderful time! I think he wanted to stay longer & play 😂 We were thrilled to get tons of pictures and videos of our baby as well as really good communication while we were away. Thank you for taking such good care of him and I know he’s looking forward to the next play date!”
“Ernie didn’t skip a beat while with Bethany. I appreciate that she was flexible with a schedule that kept changing due to emergency. Sweet family and furry friends .”
“Bella is a repeat guest with Crystal, mostly because I know she lives as good or better than at home! The whole family loves on her and make sure she is well taken care of. Will definitely continue to book! KC”
“Joshua was great from start to finish. He was flexible and accommodating, sent lots of updates, and Luna took to him immediately. We will absolutely rebook with him for future needs and are very happy to have had the chance to work with him!”
“They did an amazing job with my little dog Bentley! They made sure he was loved and taken care of per my directions they even helped with eye medication and their little boys loved having a little fluffy sweet dog around. I would highly recommend and will be using them again!!”
“Bindi had a great time! It’s obvious that Gabriel cares deeply for his guests. I appreciated the updates and the flexibility on pickup and drop off. I’ll definitely be using his services in the future!”
“Monica was such a pleasure to meet. Bentley loved her! She provided updates and sent pictures. Her home was welcoming and her personality a match. I will definitely book her again when I go back to Kokomo. Thank you Monica!”
“Karen is wonderful! This was our second time having Karen sit our dogs, my dogs love staying with her. She takes such good care of them, I never have to worry while I'm away.”
“Kailly is amazing and we couldn’t have asked for someone more caring to watch our dog, Ripley, while we were out of town! Ripley is a rescue and we’ve only had her for a few months. After one bad experience leaving her, we were nervous to go away again. Kailly worked with us to make sure that Ripley felt comfortable, and understood that it may take a few days for her to warm up to being somewhere new. Needless to say, Ripley had a wonderful time away and we had complete peace of mind! Kailly is communicative, loves dogs, has a lovely fenced in yard and a clean home. We are already in talks about the next time she will dogsit for us.”
“Katia was so awesome and took care of my husky Ethel for 5 days while I was out of town. She came home so happy and exhausted. 10/10 She accommodate us last minute which was super sweet of her.”
“Alexis was just wonderful! Great communication and updates, thoughtful little touches that shows how much she loves caring for fur babies. She did exceptionally great with our over-eager Pit mix!”
“Brendan was a life saver! He responded to my last minute boarding request for my mastiff at close to midnight the night before the stay started😅 My boy spent two nights with Brendan and his pup. He’s never been away from home before so I was a little nervous but everything seemed to go well. Brendan was very easy to reach and he sent pictures and updates regularly. I would definitely book with Brendan again! Thanks so much!!”
“Onyx had a great stay with Holli and Susan. They were very responsive throughout his entire stay and it seemed like Onyx had a good time. Would definitely recommend!!”
“Halie was amazing! Our dog had the best weekend with her pup. Accommodated us when we had to go out of town last minute and sent tons of updates with pictures and video. She is incredible!”
“Amy has a beautiful home where she watched our dog for a week while we were out of town. Our dog can sometimes be timid of new places/faces, but not with Amy. She took great care of him and we saw this in the photo updates she shared. She works from home so your dog almost always has someone to keep them company. We can’t thank Amy enough. Absolutely, we plan to use her again. (This was our second time using her)”
“Chris was amazing. Our little man had an amazing over nite stay. He was well taken care of and enjoyed playing with the others dogs there. Chris went a live to accommodate us after our regular sitter was unable to watch him. We will be using Chris many more times again.”
“Kylie was an amazing sitter. My cats almost didn’t want to leave! She sent pictures with updates which kept my mind at ease. Will definitely be using her again when visiting family :)”

About: I have had pets since I was little, and am very knowledgeable in dog behavior. I have been in daycare settings for children, so I will treat your pups care like I do with daycare kiddos, I will be very communicative to you, and send you pictures. I have trained multiple puppies in my lifetime, and have had a couple of senior dogs. I have had Labs, one Doberman, and Pugs. I have also raised two litters of puppies. Currently, I have an English Bulldog/Sharpei mix who is 11 months and constantly learning new things about behavior, and how to manage it. I am always learning new things about dog behavior and training as it is one of my passions. I will treat your fur baby as my own. I am excited to get to know you and your fur baby. Pet care fits into my daily or weekly routine because I am at home and I am excited to start taking care of other peoples pets. On the weekends at the moment I can fit in some later shifts, it is not listed, however I can. I will care for your pets the way you want me to take care of them. Tell me what you want me to do, and I will do it. These are your babies. I want to learn everything about them and care for them the way you care for them.
About: I’ve cared for dogs my entire life and have hands on experience with puppies, high energy dogs, and caring for multiple dogs at once. I work part time at a dog grooming shop as a bather, I interact with many different dogs. What sets me apart is my patience, attentiveness, and ability to adapt to each dog’s unique personality and routine. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, bathing, basic training reinforcement, and giving dogs plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. I genuinely treat every pet like my own and focus on making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while their owners are away. Pet care fits into my schedule as I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible but structured routine. I’m able to balance my job while still making time for pet care during my off days, mornings, evenings, and weekends. I’m reliable with planning ahead so I can make sure each pet gets consistent attention, walks, and care without feeling rushed. Even with a part-time job, I prioritize being fully present and dependable when I’m caring for animals. In my client’s home, I always follow their instructions closely to keep pets comfortable in their normal routine. I make sure pets are safe, supervised, and never left unattended for long periods. I keep water fresh, follow feeding schedules, and provide regular walks, playtime, and attention. I’m careful with doors, leashes, and any safety concerns to prevent escapes or accidents. I also respect the home by keeping it clean, organized, and treating it with care, just like I would my own.
“Kelly Lea did a phenomenal job caring my two kitties. They were well fed, and kept so happy with playtime and treats. It’s great to be able to enjoy your time away when you know that your fur babies are taken care off by such a caring and wonderful person as Kelly Lea. She kept us updated on their well being with messages and photos. She was on time to every visit even when she needed to adjust one of the visit times. Rest assured we will definitely book Kelly Lea for future needs, what a great experience for all.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for as long as I can remember. Growing up around them, I learned early on that dogs aren’t just pets—they’re family. Throughout my life, I’ve helped raise, nurture, and look after dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities. From energetic puppies who need patience and structure to older dogs who need gentle care and attention, I’ve always been comfortable meeting each dog’s unique needs. My experience includes feeding routines, playtime, basic reinforcement of good behaviors, and making sure dogs feel safe and loved while their owners are away. I pay close attention to a dog’s body language and personality so I can provide care that keeps them happy, calm, and engaged. Whether that means active outdoor time, mental stimulation, or simply relaxing companionship, I’m happy to adapt to what each dog enjoys most. Above all, I treat every dog in my care as if they were my own—with patience, kindness, and plenty of affection. My goal is always to give owners peace of mind while making sure their dogs feel comfortable, cared for, and right at home. I am currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to play with your pups! I'm very active and love spending time outdoors. I have a large fenced yard with a doggy door. I have two large breed dogs, (Great Pyrenees and a Golden Retriever) that are very friendly! Both of my dogs are up to date on their vaccinations, including flea and tick. Dogs are allowed on furniture and the bed. I spend a lot of time with my dogs playing outside and inside. I can accommodate crate training if needed.

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life and have cared for a wide variety of breeds, ages, and sizes. My family has a long history of rescuing dogs from shelters—especially those who struggled to find homes due to trauma, reactivity, or anxiety. With patience, structure, and consistent training, I have helped many of these dogs gain confidence and eventually transition into loving forever homes. Because of this, I’m experienced with: • Reactive, anxious, or shy dogs • Dogs with difficult backgrounds • Senior dogs • Puppies and high-energy breeds • Multi-dog household management I’m comfortable preparing homemade meals if your dog has dietary restrictions or special needs, and I’m always happy to follow any routine your pet requires. I’m a stay-at-home mom, which means your pup gets: • Frequent potty breaks • Lots of one-on-one time • Consistent supervision throughout the day I have high activity levels—great for energetic dogs who love walks and playtime—yet also have calm, patient personalities that help anxious or older dogs feel secure. I have two children: a 1-year-old daughter who is home full-time, and a 7-year-old son who is home outside of school and sports. Both kids adore dogs and have grown up understanding pet body language and boundaries. While i do ask that your dog be kid-friendly, i also make sure our children respect each dog’s comfort level and personal space. What You Can Expect • Reliable communication • Photo and video updates upon request • Safe, loving care tailored to your dog’s needs • Plenty of walks around our large subdivision filled with sidewalks, parks, and ponds—weather permitting • A warm, family-style environment with structure, comfort, and enrichment Your dog will truly be treated like part of our family while they’re here. 💛🐾 I truly love dogs—my two pups are part of everything we do, and they enjoy meeting new friends. My home is designed with safety, comfort, and flexibility in mind: • Fully enclosed 8-foot privacy fence for secure, weather-permitting outdoor play • Completely pet-proofed home • Multiple levels and gated areas for dogs who need separation • Retractable gates and room dividers for customized safe zones • Doggy Chill Space for crates, quiet rest areas, and decompression time If your dog prefers not to interact with other dogs (or only struggles with certain types—male, large, senior, etc.), i can easily provide full separation and rotating play schedules to ensure every dog has a calm, happy stay.

About: Ever since I’ve was little I’ve always was involved with animals in some kind of way and once I turned 14 I start training dogs and just being more involved with every animal. My plan is to be a veterinarian one day but until then I plan on taking care of and interacting with so many animals until then ( i do not currently own any pets) Well I work for my self so I’m home majority of the day anyways so taking a walk, or going to a sitting will never be a problem since my schedule is 100% free I have beds, toys and different types of food set up for any boarding that I might have and I also have a huge fenced in back yard for play time and even on rainy days I have a pet play area set up in my garage(it’s attached to my home and heated) to play in on rainy days I have a fenced in yard so that they can play outside as much as they want, I’m even setting/building my back yard more just to accommodate dogs with certain special needs that can’t do certain things. I also listen to pet parent needs and will help with Leash training/basic commands even going to potty throughout their stay
“Megan and Lois have been incredible with Milo! He's very energetic and loves to run, so I love that they have a fenced in backyard where he can run some of that energy off. He is always tired when I pick him up from daycare, which is rare for his breed :) It just shows that he's played hard, and I couldn't be happier with the care that Megan and Lois have given him at daycare. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”

About: I volunteer and foster regularly with Homer's Helpers. I have experience with special needs animals ranging from diabetes, epilepsy, fear aggression, and severe separation anxiety.Any pets that stay in our home must be good with other dogs and cats as we have several in our home. I have a passion for animals of all shapes and sizes and have experience with small animals, reptiles, birds (large and small), and horses in addition to dogs and cats. I have had dogs since I was born. I have fostered many different breeds, from mutts, to pit bulls, to Great Pyrenees. Our dogs are Copper (Pom mix 12.5 lbs), Dexter (Golden Retriever 50lbs), and Versace (Pom mix 4.2lbs). All dogs that come to our home must be 30lbs or under as we don't want to risk our littles getting injured when they play. Our front yard is 1500sqft fully fenced and I have secured chicken wire to the bottom to ensure small dogs can't squeeze through. Our backyard is 500sqft fully privacy fenced, so we are able to accommodate dogs that could jump a 3ft. Our homes exterior is completely covered in security cameras so I can monitor the dogs at all times even if they are not in my immediate line of site. I am certified in dog and cat CPR/first aid through PetTech. I recently began a dog grooming apprenticeship. I am very comfortable giving medication, be it pills or injections I know how to do it. Any dogs that board in our home will be given a complementary "Night Night Cookie" as we call it. A buddy biscuit before bed. They are a healthy treat with no corn, wheat, or soy and come in many different flavors for dogs with different allergies. Dogs who board will be kenneled at night, we have crates available for use that are sanitized after each dog. We also feed meals in crates to avoid food aggression. I also offer Boss Dog frozen yogurt for $3 a serving and organic bone broth as a treat or food topper for $2. I can provide a lickimat or Kong filled with organic peanut butter for $2. I am able to provide Blackwood kibble for $2 a day if you forget to pack their regular kibble. We do also have a freezer that we can store raw food if needed. All dogs who board/play in our home must be up to date on vaccines or have a recent tider test. All dogs must be on current HW and flea prevention to be able to come to our home. We also have a dog treadmill that we can have dog boarding with us use to ensure adequate excercise during their stay. All dogs who board/play in our home must be up to date on vaccines or have a recent tider test, this is the policy of the rescue I work with in order to maintain my foster status. I have security cameras on the exterior of my home with all of both yards visible. I am planning on adding cameras in every room in the house. Dogs are crated to eat their meals to prevent food aggression. Toys are not made available until I have monitored how all the dogs in the home interact together on multiple occasions to ensure there is no resource guarding. All cabinets and closets are child locked so no dog is able to open them and get into anything they shouldn't. All dogs who board/play in our home must be up to date on vaccines or have a recent tider test. All dogs must be on current HW and flea prevention to be able to come to our home.

I’m a current Ball State Social Work grad student and love paying visits to the local Animal Shelter in my free time! I am a part time grad student at Ball State University, and also work part time at a daycare. I still have a lot of free time I’d like to fill throughout the week doing something I love, like taking care of animals. I am very attentive when it comes to caring for other peoples babies. Safety for myself and the pet is my number one priority. I do have a fenced in big back yard, and I also live right next to campus!
About: I’ve spent the past 10 years or so dog sitting for 1-6 dogs at a time along with farm animals. I am welcome to caring for all animals! I will soon be off work full time and more than happy to take on dog walking / pet caring responsibilities as often as possible. I have a fenced in yard. I am willing to care for your animal at your home to keep them and you comfortable, also. I do not currently have pets but previously lived with multiple dogs, horses, and cats throughout my life.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every breed for about 15 years. My family runs a pet sitting business as well as fostering dogs. I grew up with all kinds of animals my whole life which made me into the animal lover I am today. I’ve been relied on to walk, feed, bathe, and play with the animals all my life. No breed is too much for me! I recently moved to the area, so I have plenty of time to take care of your fur baby and spend plenty of time with them while I’m finding a job that best suits me! I have a pup of my own and he has lots of energy and will keep your fur baby busy! I live in a house with a fenced in back yard with plenty of room for your pup to run around!

“Jett had a wonderful time! I think he wanted to stay longer & play 😂 We were thrilled to get tons of pictures and videos of our baby as well as really good communication while we were away. Thank you for taking such good care of him and I know he’s looking forward to the next play date!”

“They did an amazing job with my little dog Bentley! They made sure he was loved and taken care of per my directions they even helped with eye medication and their little boys loved having a little fluffy sweet dog around. I would highly recommend and will be using them again!!”
“Kailly is amazing and we couldn’t have asked for someone more caring to watch our dog, Ripley, while we were out of town! Ripley is a rescue and we’ve only had her for a few months. After one bad experience leaving her, we were nervous to go away again. Kailly worked with us to make sure that Ripley felt comfortable, and understood that it may take a few days for her to warm up to being somewhere new. Needless to say, Ripley had a wonderful time away and we had complete peace of mind! Kailly is communicative, loves dogs, has a lovely fenced in yard and a clean home. We are already in talks about the next time she will dogsit for us.”

“Brendan was a life saver! He responded to my last minute boarding request for my mastiff at close to midnight the night before the stay started😅 My boy spent two nights with Brendan and his pup. He’s never been away from home before so I was a little nervous but everything seemed to go well. Brendan was very easy to reach and he sent pictures and updates regularly. I would definitely book with Brendan again! Thanks so much!!”

About: I’m obsessed with fur babies! Let me watch yours so I can be happy 24/7. Former puppy owner do I know how crazy that it. Very experienced as I’ve always loved with animals. Very open availability because my day job allows me to choose my own schedule. And I’m very flexible and willing to accommodate to your needs. Right now I can only do house/pet sitting at your place because I do have roommates. I’m not entirely confident he have someone else’s pets around them for reliability issues.

“Cameron and his sister did an absolutely fabulous job taking care of Toby! I was kept very updated with regular communication and pictures, and Toby felt like one of their family. Toby didn’t even want to come home! They were very caring and compassionate with his needs as an older dog and needing medicine, and were amazing. I highly recommend them to anyone needing a sitter, and will definitely use them again!”
