We are very grateful to her for taking such good care of our pups and will gladly book with her again ?”

“Pakuna is honestly hands down the best sitter ever. This was my first time leaving my puppy for a couple of days and was very nervous about leaving my puppy but Pakuna reassured me that everything will be ok and that my pup would have a blast. Our pup loved being with her and her pitty. Highly recommend booking her!”
“We use Jen whenever we go out of town to take care of my gfs dog. She gives updates and our dog loves going over since it’s like her own vacation also! Would highly recommend her sitting!”
“Jordan is seriously a dog whisperer. His energy and confidence is God send. My dog Cedar can be reactive, barking, jumping, even nipping when meeting people but with Jordan, it was like a completely different dog. Calm, relaxed, and instantly comfortable. I was in total shock. Even around another dog (which normally worries me), Cedar was in dog heaven. No issues at all. I went in nervous and left totally at ease. THANK YOU Jordan for making my vacation that much better. If you’ve got a challenging dog, Jordan is your guy, Just go with Jordan.”
“Michael did a great job with Kermit. He is compassionate and contacted us with concerns. Kermit was treated like part of the family. Frequent photos were really appreciated.”
“Kathrine is an AMAZING sitter! I went out of town for 5 days and left my pup with her at her home. I immediately felt comfortable leaving her there when I dropped her off. She sent pics, videos, and updated me on all things (eating, pooping, etc.). Her dog, Ophelia, was the sweetest companion and I could tell her and my dog were besties from the pics she sent! They went on multiple walks a day, and even a weekend adventure! I will definitely be using Kathrine again in the future!”
“Natalia is a gem! We booked her kind of last minute for our senior dog and I’m so glad we found her. She was very responsive and asked if we had any special needs. She took great care of our dog and even took her with her on outdoor adventures and to work. She sent lots of sweet photos.”
About: I’ve owned and fostered both dogs and cats my entire life. I understand how stressful it can be finding someone to watch your pet when you travel- I’d love to help ease some of that. I’m comfortable administering medications and navigating the different needs of your pets. I’m currently working part time from home. I have a fully fenced in backyard and I’m home more than I’m not. I’m also training for a marathon so if you have a dog that enjoys longer walks or short runs I’d be happy to take them out for those! My yard is fully fenced and my home is kept clean. I can crate your dog or give them a separate space if that’s easier. I will follow your lead to make your dog or cat as comfortable as possible.

“I left my 7 month old puppy for a few days and it was our first time of being separated. I was so nervous to leave him but Christina made me feel very comfortable of leaving him in her hands. And he was also comfortable staying with her. She kept me posted of how he was doing and took very good care of him. I highly recommend Christina. I would definitely use her again to watch my fur baby in the future!”

This was my first time having him as a sitter and he arranged to meet with me that same night, paid attention to all details of request, and was instantly loved by my cat when he picked her up. My mind was at ease while I was gone and I knew Tilly was in good hands while I was gone! I will absolutely be a returning customer with Austen! Thank you!”

Highly recommend Pakuna for your pet care.”
About: I grew up surrounded by kittens and cats! My grandma and mom were crazy cat ladies lol. I have a Siamese cat named Mochi! I rescued him as a kitten. He was found in a trash can covered in fleas, worms, and could barely keep his eyes open from excessive mucus. I spent every 5 minutes cleaning his eyes, treated his fleas/worms, showed him love, and trained him. He’s now an indoor kitty and he will be loved for the rest of his life! He’s my little cuddle buddy💛 I’m a very empathetic, responsible, and active person! I’m available to play and always down for some cuddles from some fur babies :)
“Jamie is an absolute gem! She sent many photos and updates throughout my time away. Mango can be a bit difficult to medicate at times and she had no issues. Great communication, timely. I would absolutely book with Jamie again.”

“Danielle was wonderful with our shy, anxious rescue. She communicated well and asked plenty of great questions, was kind and patient, and has a calm demeanor. We weren't able to do a meet and greet in advance since I was traveling through, which made it even more impressive that my pup warmed up to her right away and relaxed so quickly. Responsible, professional service. Highly recommend!”

“This was our first time finding a dog sitter. Tianna was very friendly, knowledgeable and made my wife and I comfortable with the process. Our dog was well taken care of, and will definitely keep Tianna as a favorite for future dog sitting.”
“Candace is a wonderful dog mom!! From the moment we met I knew Maizie would be in good hands. Candace is warm and nurturing but also aware of the mischief puppies can get into. She sent me lots of photos throughout the day and kept me updated on Maizie’s progress. Maizie had fun meeting the other animals around the farm.

About: hi there! Im Dylan and I can't wait to meet you and your pet. I became a pet sitter because I adore dogs, and I can't have one of my own right now so I'm here to give lots of love and attention to yours! I'm very understanding of dogs that are a little more anxious, and provide them with a calm presence during the stay. Your pet is your family, and I understand what it's like to be away from them, even if you're off doing something fun. I'm responsible, creative, and have been described as an old soul. I love meeting new people and dogs-and being a part of a thriving community. When your dog is with me, they'll get lots of one on one attention, and lots of love ! Im currently free anytime any day during the week. So whatever works for you is great to me. Monday through Friday even weekends are fine. I provide safe, and fun interactions with all pets I look after. I am respectful of all pet owners and their pets and am able to follow any specific care instructions set forth. I'm currently working part time so I'll have plenty of time playing with your pups! And updating you on how the sitting is going ! I have no fenced yard. But well enough of space to keep your pup occupied and having fun ! Friendly neighborhood safe environment for your pup !
About: I've worked in child care for families and a company and I apply the skills acquired from there to here. I understand that your dog is a part of your family and deserves a similar manner of patience, love, and communication that a good child care provider gives. These necessities are what I consider when caring for my own dog. As much as I adore the familiarity of dogs, especially puppies, I'd be more than happy to care for other pets. I'm a runner and I believe in staying active to maintain health-- providing the body allows it! If you would like for your dog to exercise too, I'm very willing to include them in on runs. I have a lot of energy for playtime, exercise, mindful care and would like to offer my services. Hope to hear from you. :) Best Wishes My schedule changes often but I'm usually free on weekends and holidays as of now! I am taking part time classes on M,W,F but am home often. I have a park across the street where I walk my dog and get out the zoomies. The furniture is okay for pets unless they get messy after a walk or play.

About: Hi, I’m Kira! I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, and I’ve always had a bit of a knack for making friends with them. 😂 I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes, along with birds, chickens, chinchillas, turtles, frogs, fish, and lizards. Basically, if it has four legs, feathers, scales, or a tail, there’s a pretty good chance I’ve cared for one! I currently have an 11-year-old Husky who is my world, and I’ve always been the go-to person for friends and family when they need someone they trust with their pets. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. Whether your dog needs a walk and some exercise, a potty break, playtime, or simply some extra love and attention, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. My goal is to make every visit safe, comfortable, and enjoyable while giving you peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in caring hands. ❤️🐾 Pet care is my main focus, which allows me to offer a flexible schedule and give each pet the personalized, one-on-one care they deserve. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable trusting someone with your furry family member, and I take that responsibility seriously. I believe the best care starts with getting to know each pet as an individual — because they all have their own little personalities! When caring for pets in their home, I treat their space and routines with the same respect and care I would expect in my own home. I follow your instructions carefully, keep safety a priority, and make sure your pets receive the care, companionship, and affection they deserve while you’re away. I’m also fully insured, giving you added peace of mind while your pets are in my care. ❤️

“Thank you, Erin! Amazing job with walking my pup. Always on time. Very effective communication, with me and my dog. Made me feel very comfortable with pick ups and drop offs. Flexible if we had to use a different pick up method. My dog tested Erin and Erin did great to keep my dog focused. She played with her and used our commands. Absolutely would book again. Amazing. Thank you!!”
“We have been working with Ricky the last two years and he has been so wonderful with our two dogs. He has never missed a walk and will tell me weeks in advance if he has a conflict (which happens rarely). Our dogs love Ricky and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and friendly dog walker!”
About: I have grown up being surrounded by dogs! My dad always had dogs in our home. I raised my pitbull/lab mixed breed dog Nala from when I was the age of Ten until she passed away when I was 21 years old. She taught me a lot about being a pet owner as well as a person! She was my best friend🤍 I am a very active, responsible, and empathetic person! I enjoy being outdoors going on long walks, hikes, and runs! I’m always down for a furry friend to tag along :) My current work schedule is 6am to 6pm Sunday through Tuesday :) I am available throughout the week on my days off for some pet care! I am respectful of other spaces! I like to stay occupied and am willing to go on adventures with your fur baby! I am full of love to give for animals. My full time job is caregiving so I’m the kind of person to place others needs before my own, but I do prioritize my health so I’m always in tip top shape for whoever/whatever needs my attention!
About: I have been to go to pet sitter in my neighborhood all of my life. I've dealt with one neighbor's dog in particular who is a difficult dog and requires medication. Pet care is always my number one priority because if someone was taking care of my dog, I would want the same level of care that I provide. I like to learn and also know the routine of the animal I'm watching to best fit their needs and learn or change when necessary.
About: I have had dogs and cats in my life since I was little, but what really kicked off my interest in dogs was joining my town’s canine 4-H club. I learned valuable skills here on reading the body language of dogs. Currently, I am fostering this interest by beginning to volunteer as a dog walker with Marion County Dog Services. I also have plenty experience with cats, as I’ve had two of my own for the past nine years. I am currently working from home on my own schedule, so I am very flexible and open to any opportunity to get to see your pet! I have two pampered cats of my own who are loved beyond belief. Getting to love an animal is so special, and I know how hard it is to leave them. I will ensure that they are treated to the same care and attention that I would expect for my own. I’ll make it a top-priority to stick to the schedule they know so they can be as comfortable as possible while you’re away. I’ll also make sure to communicate with you on how they’re doing so that you can rest easy!
About: I started on Rover back in 2018 boarding dogs in my home! Now I'm available to do drop in visits for dogs and cats. I have a cat of my own named Peach who is 5 now. Dogs and cats tend to like me, which is a plus! I work at a bank full time but looking to make extra money in my free time. I'm mostly available evenings after work and weekends! I work Mon-Fri but I'm available in the evenings after 5:30 pm. I have open availability on weekends at the moment. I have a lot of experience watching dogs in the past, whether it be for friends/family or clients on Rover. Recently, I've been doing drop ins for cats and I really enjoy it! When it comes to taking care of your pet in your own home, I think it best to tell me what needs to be done during the visit. Where food/supplies are, if they need to be put in a kennel before I leave, what their habits are like and what to look out for if anything. Everyone has different rules when it comes to their animals and I will be 100% respectful of your home and property.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 16 whenever my family or friends go out of town I’m always the go to person for pet sitting following each direction from feeding bathing to night time. I also send out updates so no worry’s. I am currently available Monday through Sunday, offering flexible scheduling for walks, drop-ins, and overnight care, including weekends, holidays, and last-minute requests when needed , but if plans change please let me know 2 or 3 days before thank you When caring for pets, their safety is always my top priority. I make sure doors, gates, and fences are secure before letting pets outside, keep harmful foods and household items out of reach, and closely monitor their behavior for any signs of stress or illness. I follow each pet’s routine and the owner’s instructions carefully, provide plenty of supervision, and create a calm, safe environment where every pet feels comfortable, loved, and well cared for.
“Our dogs love Megan, and she has been very accommodating, agreeing to meet several times with us present so our nervous guy Goose could get to know her. She took them for their first walk without us today and he did great with her.”
“Kayla was amazing! She walked both of our schnauzers and learned their individual personalities immediately. One of my dogs was sick when I left and Kayla was very communicative which relieved much of my stress. We will most definitely be using Kayla in the future!”
“I had Austen walk Aspen for just about the whole 13 weeks I’ve been in town for work! He communicated well and even took the time out of his weekends if I wasn’t able to find someone! His pictures and summaries of the walk are always well described. It was almost like I was on the walk too!”
About: Hi Friend! I have a lot of experience taking care of dogs, big and small (ie. pugs, pit bulls, Dobermans). I am also a Doberman mom. 🐾 I currently have a very flexible schedule. However, I am more consistently available in the mornings and on the weekends. I am happy to make your pet care a part of my weekly routine. :) I provide care in my client’s home according to the guidelines they provide me with. It is imperative that I ensure that their pet feels safe and respected when I am providing care.
“Astrid took great care of my pups and helped them be secure and happy while I was out of town. When I’m in town and she walks them, I can tell by the way they greet her what a big treat it is for them to spend time with her. I appreciate Astrid’s sensitivity and creativity and skill in interacting with my two dogs who are quite different from one another in energy level so that they both get their needs met for activity and exercise and affection.”
About: I have had 3 dogs of my own for years that I’ve helped train and take care of alongside my family. I have also been paid for and asked to take care of my families dogs or other pets multiple times. I have had 3 cats as well, so I’m pretty well knowledgeable in both areas of care. Im working part time at the moment and have space between and after my classes to take care of whatever business and pet sitting necessary :) I am very patient and careful with dogs with knowing many temperaments are different and unique. I’ve dealt with bigger dogs so I’m not easily nervous around noisy dogs.
About: Hi there! I'm a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds. I’ve volunteered at animal shelters throughout my life and have personally adopted 6 dogs, 5 rats, 1 cat, and even a chinchilla—each one bringing joy and unforgettable memories. Currently, I share my home with my sweet pup, Xena. I’m patient, attentive, and quick to adapt to each pet’s unique needs. I have strong knowledge of dog training, behavior, and wellness, and I’m comfortable caring for dogs with medical needs or special quirks. Whether it’s playtime, walks, cuddles, or structured care, your dog will be in loving, capable hands with me. I currently work full time but I live very close to my work so I am home at lunch time to check on things and give a potty break. I have no long commute or traffic to worry about. On the weekends, I stay in the area or take pups out for hikes! Boarding: To introduce, your pup will have an entire room gated off with a baby gate to acclimate to the new environment. Then, your pup will be welcomed to explore the home.
About: I recently trained my high energy border collie mix puppy and although he’s still a teenager, he’s turned out to be a calm, caring, and gentle pup. Most of my pet sitting care has been done for cats, but I have house sat for a family with a Newfoundland, so I have experience with large breeds. I also have cared for a smaller dog that has OCD and separation anxiety. Thanks to the research and dedication that went into puppy training, I’m well aware of what their body language is signaling, and how to adapt according to what they’re feeling. I work from home, so my schedule is flexible. My weekends are pretty flexible as well. Most of my plans are in the evenings (if I do have plans). I give my pets a predictable routine. The cats need a lot of attention as they’re very social. I take my pup to the dog park every couple of days, but I also tire him out through walks, herding games, and mental stimulation.

“Aurora has gotten more and more comfy with every stay she has had with Jade! It’s clear how much she loves her stays there. Thank you for taking such great care of our girl!”
“Gayle was AMAZING with my fur babies. She was very good at communicating and giving updates and photos during their stay. My babies opened up so much while spending time with her and Sitka. She was very flexible and was able to keep them for an extra night when my plans changed last minute. We are very grateful to her for taking such good care of our pups and will gladly book with her again ?”
“I appreciate Larissa very much. I am very satisfied with Larissa’s services. Larissa is very communicative and shared updates about my pup, which I truly appreciated. I would definitely recommend.”
“Jordan is seriously a dog whisperer. His energy and confidence is God send. My dog Cedar can be reactive, barking, jumping, even nipping when meeting people but with Jordan, it was like a completely different dog. Calm, relaxed, and instantly comfortable. I was in total shock. Even around another dog (which normally worries me), Cedar was in dog heaven. No issues at all. I went in nervous and left totally at ease. THANK YOU Jordan for making my vacation that much better. If you’ve got a challenging dog, Jordan is your guy, Just go with Jordan.”
“Michael did a great job with Kermit. He is compassionate and contacted us with concerns. Kermit was treated like part of the family. Frequent photos were really appreciated.”
“Kathrine is an AMAZING sitter! I went out of town for 5 days and left my pup with her at her home. I immediately felt comfortable leaving her there when I dropped her off. She sent pics, videos, and updated me on all things (eating, pooping, etc.). Her dog, Ophelia, was the sweetest companion and I could tell her and my dog were besties from the pics she sent! They went on multiple walks a day, and even a weekend adventure! I will definitely be using Kathrine again in the future!”
“Natalia is a gem! We booked her kind of last minute for our senior dog and I’m so glad we found her. She was very responsive and asked if we had any special needs. She took great care of our dog and even took her with her on outdoor adventures and to work. She sent lots of sweet photos.”
About: I’ve owned and fostered both dogs and cats my entire life. I understand how stressful it can be finding someone to watch your pet when you travel- I’d love to help ease some of that. I’m comfortable administering medications and navigating the different needs of your pets. I’m currently working part time from home. I have a fully fenced in backyard and I’m home more than I’m not. I’m also training for a marathon so if you have a dog that enjoys longer walks or short runs I’d be happy to take them out for those! My yard is fully fenced and my home is kept clean. I can crate your dog or give them a separate space if that’s easier. I will follow your lead to make your dog or cat as comfortable as possible.
“Tienne did great with my dog, Sydney. She was really easy to work with and was very flexible and understanding. She is a Vet Tech which made me much more comfortable should any issues arise. I will definitely use Tienne in the future.”
“I left my 7 month old puppy for a few days and it was our first time of being separated. I was so nervous to leave him but Christina made me feel very comfortable of leaving him in her hands. And he was also comfortable staying with her. She kept me posted of how he was doing and took very good care of him. I highly recommend Christina. I would definitely use her again to watch my fur baby in the future!”
“Beyond happy that Buster got to spend Thanksgiving weekend with Tawna and John! We received daily updates and pictures of our pup. Our two year old lab (who is very energetic) came home happy and tired! It is very clear that our pup was well loved and entertained. We would definitely recommend!”
“Riley was great and my fur baby had a great time playing with her pups. She sent me pictures and updates on how my fur baby was doing. If I end up back in the area and needing dog care again I will be contacting her.”
“Karlie was very flexible and easy to plan with. Her house is very dog friendly and her pup, Dresden, is a great playmate! Our dog didn’t care when we left at drop off because she was already having so much fun.”
“Steven and his partner were great with Parker (who can definitely be a handful at times) but they said he did awesome during his stay. Parker had so much fun with them and his two dogs Shasta and Jasper. They even took videos and photos for me to see how he was doing. Parker didn't want to leave he loved them and I'm sure he had so much fun while I was away. 10/10 recommend and will definitely use them again anytime I need a sitter for Parker in the future.”
“Tamra kept my large GSD in her home for a week and took great care of him! He’s a sweet guy but set in his ways so one never knows how he will respond to a new situation…but it was obvious immediately that he felt comfortable with her and was well cared for: long walks, play dates with dog friends, lots of social interaction. I would 100% recommend Tamra!”
“Mickenzie was very quick to respond and book Miss Moose on short notice. She also sent me a few update pictures and let me know how she was settling in. Moose was in good hands with other dogs to play with and cats to hang out with (her dream situation). Overall I appreciated Mickenzie’s service and communication!”
“Tawny was amazing with our pup Zoë. She immediately welcomed her and made her feel right at home! Tawny also kept us updated on how Zoë was doing throughout her stay, and sent along some really great pictures. Zoë also loved her stay. As a shy girl, sometimes it takes her a while to warm up to new situations. Although, she immediately warmed up to Tawny and had a great stay.”
