Personalized care for your dog or cat - Loretto
Highly-rated overnight sitters - Loretto
“This is my new goto place for my doggies! I got pictures videos updates everyday. I don’t like leaving my dogs for stretches of time… Ms Shaquita eased my mind and quickly replied to my check-ins. Huge outside space. I’m a big fan; we will be back”
“Would give 10 stars if we could. Lisa is professional, responsive and took wonderful care of our 2-year-old small breed dog Rita. We were so pleased with her care that we booked a 5-week extended stay for an upcoming overseas trip, with full confidence that Rita will be cared for like her own. We love that she has a dog of her own who is great with ours. Lisa provides daily photos and communication which helped us feel connected. Highly recommend.”
About: While, I don't have experience taking care of other people's pets, I've had my own since I was a little girl. My first dog was Cosmo, a Yorkshire Terrier. I miss him so much! Now my family and I have 2 dogs named Honey and Baby Girl (my kids couldn't agree on a name so her nickname just stuck!). Honey is 110lb Border Collie/Great Pyrenees/Lab mix, and BG is a 70lb "Australian Boxherd", or Australian Shepherd/Boxer mix. We also have 2 cats named Athena and Nike. Plus, 3 hens and 1 rooster: Sandy, Patrick, Bob and Mr. Crabs.. Spongebob, of course! Lol Our animals are our babies, I don't know what we'd do without them! I am not currently working, but I do have children and my father that I care for, so I have a busy schedule at times. I'm pretty flexible though for the most part, other than Wednesdays. I'm not going to provide home services at this time. I live on a lot of land but we don't have a fence and our neighbor isn't the friendliest towards dogs. We just got him used to ours, but I don't allow mine out of the yard, anyway. They've been trained to stay.

“Mallory took great care of our dog, Nell, during her drop-in visits. She walked Nell, made sure she always had fresh water, and kept me updated after each visit with details about her bathroom breaks, attitude, and activity level. Mallory was also incredibly flexible and accommodating by meeting with us early in the morning before I left for work so she could do a meet-and-greet and get to know Nell beforehand. I really appreciated her reliability, communication, and genuine care for my dog. I would absolutely recommend her and would be happy to book with her again.”
“Breanna was great dropping in to care for our cat. She sent many photos, ensured all her needs were met, gave her company, and was communicative the entire time. We appreciated her service and would request it again.”
“Presleigh was wonderful! We had last minute change of Thanksgiving plans and she didng hesitate to pick us up and come feed our sweet kitty. She even went the extra mile and fed the strays we take care of that live outside and filled our water bowls that were low when she absolutely did not have to! If you want someone who can be asked to do one thing and she helps out with extra stuff, this is your girl!”
“I am having trouble finding enough positive words to praise Hannah with the care of our cat! It was just one cat-but he’s spoiled and he damages things if he’s left alone for more than a night. We were gone longer than we’ve ever taken a vacation-11 days-and were very nervous. Hannah eased our minds, braved the frigid temps driving to our house, spent SUCH quality time with him (not just in to feed him and gone) went WAY above and beyond giving us more peace leaving our house too. We will travel now with so much more peace. I can’t recommend her highly enough!!”
“Haley was OUTSTANDING! Not only is she a joy, but our Gracie girl loved her. Haley sent tons of photos every visit, loved on our girl, even cleaned up a hairball. She was highly communicative, sweet, and an amazing pet sitter. I will absolutely be using her again for our next trip!”

About: Im an animal science major, I've worked at dog kennels and a dog boarding area since I was little. If you can't tell animals are basically my life. Some special skills are knowing that all dogs are different, I will make sure that I know all the necessities needed for each dog or critter that you will have me watch! If they need special medication I'll make sure that's taken, and anything you do for your dog/critter normally. I'll also make sure will get done as well! Hope this helps explain some more about who I am, if there are any questions don't be afraid to ask! I do work during the day in Lawrenceburg from 7 to 4. I work full time in Winterset, but I'm off by the latest 4 p.m during the week. I'm free on weekends, and can be there anytime then! For service for pets in my home. I apologize, but at the moment I don't bring into my home. For in a client's home, I make sure they have their regular routine they're use to. They don't recieve any extra food that may upset stomachs. I also ensure to follow any rules given or asked by the pet owner.
About: I grew up around cats and have never been without one for long. I've been filling food bowls and scooping litter nearly as long as I've known how to read. I've also worked at two veterinary clinics that offer animal boarding, so I'm experienced in dealing with more difficult cats, administering medication, and following stricter diets. I've even cared for disabled cats, such as cats without eyes or cats with paralyzed back legs.
“Bre did a great job taking care of our three cats! very friendly, good communication and thorough, it’s nice to know we have someone who cares taking care of our babies while we’re out of town!”
“Quianna is super nice and really does love pets. My pups liked her on their first meeting. She took pictures and movies for me which made my day. I will absolutely be going to her first next time I need a sitter!”
About: I’ve been an animal lover my whole life, growing up surrounded by dogs, cats, rabbits, and even the occasional chicken. As a longtime pet owner myself, I understand how much our animals mean to us. I treat every pet I care for like part of the family, with patience, love, and attention to their unique needs. Whether it’s a daily walk or a weekend stay, you can count on me to keep your furry (or feathered!) friend safe, happy, and loved. I’m available for midday walks, check-ins, and evening visits. I also offer overnight house sitting if you're looking for someone to keep your pets company overnight. In a client’s home, I make sure pets feel safe and comfortable by sticking to their usual routine, feeding, walks, playtime, and lots of affection.

If I’m doing overnight care, I maintain a calm and cozy environment, making sure your pet gets attention, companionship, and consistency while you’re away.
About: hi! my name is jaylyn! I have always had dogs and one cat growing up so i am a huge animal lover. i got my first pet, a dog, when i was in middle school and have had pets every since. I have personally trained all of my dogs growing up, and i love animals almost more than people ;) i love animals very much and love a good cuddler! i really want to spread my love and joy of animals while taking care of others precious babies! i am very flexible and any service i am willing to tweak in whatever way works for both of us. life is crazy and times are hard..so i am very open to anything that might be needed! I currently work a full-time job but i do get days off which gives me time to take care of your babies. i am almost always free on weekends! i can crate your pet if that is needed, no yard but plenty of dogs parks to let them run around and roam which is fenced.
About: I have taken care of several cats during my life, starting from my mother's womb. Currently, I have two cats of my own, a Devon Rex and an American Shorthair, who have very different grooming and care needs. I understand that cats require consent and patience when interacting with them, and I am more than willing to ensure both are present. I have a good amount of experience in the administration of medication (including oral and ophthalmic solutions). I also understand the importance of a clean litter box and playing with the cat on their level and in a way that makes them happy.
About: I am an owner of two Jack Russell Terriers who make my life incredibly entertaining. Both of them are rescue pets. The relationship I've built with them has introduced me to a whole new part of myself. I love to dote on others' fur babies as well. I'm a professional musician who does this as a way of supplementing my income, so my schedule is *usually* accommodating to almost any pet owner's needs. I prefer to do drop ins and some house sitting. I don't typically want to bring my own pups along with me until I know your dog's temperament. Even then, it is rare. They are beginning to show that they’re senior pups. If you think I'll fit your needs, don't hesitate to call. I'f I'm available, your pups will be well cared for and smothered with affection.
About: I have taken care of animals of all shapes and sizes for 20+ years. I was also a groomer for 5 years and vet assistant. I'm quite comfortable with senior and puppy care,, giving medication and cleaning up any messes. I also have training experience with all variety, from basic commands to proper leash walking. Currently self employed, so I have a very open schedule and am able to accommodate quite a wide range of needs, from early morning to late night and weekends. Making your pet feel safe and comfortable while you're away is my number 1 priority. Giving them lots of stimulating play time, with lots of head and belly scratches
About: Cats have been a constant in my life for as long as I can remember, and I understand that every cat has their own unique personality—and boundaries. I currently share my home with four: one rescue, one chronic shelter return who came from an abusive situation, and two young, curious cats who keep life interesting. That mix of temperaments has taught me patience, empathy, and the importance of reading feline body language. I’m comfortable caring for shy or fearful cats, as well as high-energy or social ones. Whether your cat prefers quiet companionship or active playtime, I’ll adjust my care to match their comfort level and routine. I’m experienced with administering basic medications, maintaining feeding schedules, managing multi-cat households, and creating low-stress environments for nervous or newly adopted cats. My goal is always to make sure your cats feel safe, respected, and cared for while you’re away.
About: I have owned and cared for dogs most of my life! I currently own two giant babies (German Shepard) and can handle everything in between! Some days or weeks, your best friend just needs some extra love and attention. I have experience volunteering at animal shelters and caring for animals of various sizes and personalities! Let me care for your best friends, like I would care for my own! During the Summer time, I have open availability. Any day, any time! Tell me what you need, and I will accommodate! Weekends or weekday I can do it all! I am able to work with difficult or aggressive pets, as I happen to own two of them. I can go on walks, play in a yard or just cuddle on the couch. Even though I am a dog owner, I have some experience caring for cats as well!
About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, and small animals since I was 6 years old. Friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed, water, and take care of their pets on many occasions! I have a very flexible schedule rand can work with any pets. I do have 5 dogs me and my boyfriend own. They have a schedule of feedings and potty breaks but basically they just play all the time. They are all VERY playful and super friendly. I mostly would prefer to care for animals in my own home as I can do my daily tasks as well as keep your companions happy. I am more than happy to care for them in yours I just cannot stay nights. I have a big back yard so they can get lots of exercise and play time! If needed I can also separate my own animals from yours with no problem at all.

My dogs love showing off their space.

“Maryann and Ronnie are both so sweet and caring! While they are a second sitter for us, we still love them just as much as our other! They both made sure I was kept up to date with snoopy and what he was doing and how he was doing. I also got plenty of pictures! Snoop got to play with their babies along with one of their regulars (which it was communicated their regular would be there) he came home and took a nap immediately! Would definitely reccomend them to anyone!”
About: With years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments, I offer more than just sitting — I provide personalized attention tailored to your pet’s unique needs. Whether it’s gentle care for seniors, extra patience and playtime for high-energy pups, or basic training for young dogs, I’ve got the skills and heart to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I treat every dog like family — because they are. 2 day minimum required. As a stay-at-home mom, I integrate pet care seamlessly into our daily and weekly routines. Each morning begins with feeding and checking on our pets, ensuring they have fresh water and a clean space. Throughout the day, I include walks, playtime, and interaction as part of our family activities—helping pets stay active and engaged. Grooming, cleaning litter boxes or cages, and maintaining their living areas are handled regularly, typically during nap times or quieter parts of the day. I also schedule weekly tasks such as bathing, or vet visits as needed. Caring for our pets is a natural part of our home life. As a stay-at-home mom, creating a safe, trustworthy, and nurturing environment is at the heart of my daily routine. I prioritize cleanliness, consistency, and attentiveness to ensure every member of the household—whether child, adult, or pet—feels secure and cared for. I understand how important it is to build trust through reliability and open communication, and I maintain a calm, structured environment that promotes comfort and peace of mind.

I have a fenced in yard, gates within my home and experience with kennels, leashes and safety walks. My dogs are social and great with other dogs.

“Absolutely perfect! When meeting with Hannah she was very polite and welcoming. She did a really good job at making sure her babies kept personal space with Snoopy and always watched them in the backyard. Communication was great and instructions on what she needed were very clear. She was so understanding when it came to my pickup time possibly changing due to my job. Hannah also made sure she asked all the important questions and was amazing with communication! I was nervous leaving my baby with someone new, but Hannah did a great job making me feel comfortable leaving Snoopy in her care. We will absolutely be using services anytime we need help! (Bonus points for sharing pictures even while I was at work)”

Adventure-ready dog walkers - Loretto
About: I have had pets and cared for animals since I was a child, giving me years of hands-on experience with both indoor and outdoor animals. Growing up on a farm allowed me to work closely with a variety of large animals as well as young and baby animals, helping me develop a strong understanding of animal care and responsibility. I am experienced in feeding, bathing, walking, and playing with animals while ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. My lifelong experience around animals has made me dependable, patient, and attentive to the unique needs and personalities of each pet. I am a third grade teacher and have a plenty of time off in the summers! I love animals and would love to have a part in taking care of your furry babies. I have a fenced in yard, plenty of acreage, and live on a safe drive with very minimal traffic. I take my dog for walks daily on our drive and we play in my backyard to get all of our energy out! I also can crate animals indoor and/or out with an extra large kennel in our fenced in yard!
About: I grew up on a 100-acre farm and have spent my entire life caring for animals of all kinds. My experience includes both everyday and medical care for livestock and household pets, giving me a strong understanding of animal health, behavior, and individual needs. I have implemented treat based training as well as clicker training with my own pet. Over the years, my family bred and raised both small and large dog breeds, ranging from Beagles to Great Pyrenees. This hands-on experience has given me confidence working with animals of all temperaments, sizes, and energy levels — from high-energy working dogs to elderly and disabled pets requiring extra patience and specialized care. Animal care has always been a true passion of mine. I believe animals are a gift to everyone they meet, and I am committed to providing compassionate, reliable, and attentive care to every pet as if they were my own. Pet care is my full-time profession, allowing me to provide reliable, flexible, and attentive care for every animal I work with. I also attend school virtually while completing my degree in therapy, which gives me the ability to maintain a consistent schedule dedicated to pet care. My long-term goal is to open a therapy practice incorporating equine-assisted therapy to help support and heal others through the connection between humans and animals. I prioritize providing care in my clients’ homes, where pets are most comfortable and able to maintain their normal routines and environment. I believe staying in a familiar space helps reduce stress and anxiety while allowing pets to feel safe and secure. I take the time to follow each owner’s care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication administration, and any special needs. My goal is to provide dependable, compassionate care while treating both your pets and your home with the highest level of respect and professionalism.

About: I love all animals like they are my own. Your animals will be in the best care possible while you are enjoying your away time. I work from home so watching your animals would be my pleasure. I love sitting around enjoying time with my animals while I work so why not include others. I have friendly dogs of my own that love company and I live out in the country on 5 acres. My dogs love showing off their space.
About: I’m an experienced and reliable pet caregiver with a lifelong background caring for animals of all shapes and sizes, so I’m very comfortable handling multiple pets, different temperaments, and unique care needs. I also have several years of veterinary experience, which means I’m confident administering medications, monitoring health, and providing safe, attentive care. Whether your pet needs high-energy playtime or calm companionship, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Currently I am a college student and I work at barktown part time when school is in and full time when school is out. So I do maintain a busy schedule, but always have time to stop in and love on your sweet fur babies! I have been around pets with a wide range of temperament. This means I know how to enter and exit your home safely if you have a fur baby who likes to run, I wake up daily at 6am to give my babies their breakfast and they get their dinner at 8pm. This also sets me up to be able to adapt to your feeding schedule for your babies. I also adore getting to know the anxious babies. Taking my time and letting them warm up to me is something I pride myself on. Theres something so rewarding about gaining their trust!

I currently work a full-time job but i do get days off which gives me time to take care of your babies. i am almost always free on weekends! i can crate your pet if that is needed, no yard but plenty of dogs parks to let them run around and roam which is fenced.
About: I have been a dog owner for over 10 years. I grew up with a large dog and have a huge desire to train and give love and attention to all dogs. I have a flexible schedule so I can drop in on your dog 2-3x a day and work with them on training, and take them on walks to wear them out mentally and physically. No care provided in my home at this time. I can come to your house and provide walking, attention, and training there during times that are best.
About: I have taken care of animals of all shapes and sizes for 20+ years. I was also a groomer for 5 years and vet assistant. I'm quite comfortable with senior and puppy care,, giving medication and cleaning up any messes. I also have training experience with all variety, from basic commands to proper leash walking. Currently self employed, so I have a very open schedule and am able to accommodate quite a wide range of needs, from early morning to late night and weekends. Making your pet feel safe and comfortable while you're away is my number 1 priority. Giving them lots of stimulating play time, with lots of head and belly scratches
About: I love animals, and have cared for all types of pets all my life. I will love your pets and give them the greatest of care, as if they are my own. I work from home and have a very open schedule. I also have a car and a strong work ethic so when I make a commitment to be somewhere, I am there. I prefer to come to the clients home because I know the animal will be happier in its home environment. I like to give lots of pets, love and attention. I clean up any accidents, make sure water and food bowls are in good shape and provide whatever service the Pet Parent has requested. I try to leave with the pet looking forward to its next visit from me.
About: I have owned and cared for dogs most of my life! I currently own two giant babies (German Shepard) and can handle everything in between! Some days or weeks, your best friend just needs some extra love and attention. I have experience volunteering at animal shelters and caring for animals of various sizes and personalities! Let me care for your best friends, like I would care for my own! During the Summer time, I have open availability. Any day, any time! Tell me what you need, and I will accommodate! Weekends or weekday I can do it all! I am able to work with difficult or aggressive pets, as I happen to own two of them. I can go on walks, play in a yard or just cuddle on the couch. Even though I am a dog owner, I have some experience caring for cats as well!

“This is my new goto place for my doggies! I got pictures videos updates everyday. I don’t like leaving my dogs for stretches of time… Ms Shaquita eased my mind and quickly replied to my check-ins. Huge outside space. I’m a big fan; we will be back”
About: While, I don't have experience taking care of other people's pets, I've had my own since I was a little girl. My first dog was Cosmo, a Yorkshire Terrier. I miss him so much! Now my family and I have 2 dogs named Honey and Baby Girl (my kids couldn't agree on a name so her nickname just stuck!). Honey is 110lb Border Collie/Great Pyrenees/Lab mix, and BG is a 70lb "Australian Boxherd", or Australian Shepherd/Boxer mix. We also have 2 cats named Athena and Nike. Plus, 3 hens and 1 rooster: Sandy, Patrick, Bob and Mr. Crabs.. Spongebob, of course! Lol Our animals are our babies, I don't know what we'd do without them! I am not currently working, but I do have children and my father that I care for, so I have a busy schedule at times. I'm pretty flexible though for the most part, other than Wednesdays. I'm not going to provide home services at this time. I live on a lot of land but we don't have a fence and our neighbor isn't the friendliest towards dogs. We just got him used to ours, but I don't allow mine out of the yard, anyway. They've been trained to stay.

“I recently used Brooke to keep my cat, Lupin! She was incredibly attentive and sent me multiple updates throughout the stay. I highly recommend her for anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter! She went above and beyond and I genuinely feel like she treated my cat as her own!”
About: I offer personalized pet sitting services tailored to your pet's unique needs, whether they're a playful puppy or a senior in need of extra care. With experience in puppy training, basic obedience, and managing special needs for older pets, I provide a safe, fun, and loving environment while you're away. I also prioritize regular updates and communication, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. As a work-from-home professional, my schedule offers flexibility, allowing me to balance both my professional responsibilities and providing attentive care for your pets. I structure my day to include regular breaks for walks, playtime, and feeding, ensuring your pets are not only well taken care of but also receive the companionship and attention they deserve. Whether it's a midday stroll or some quiet time together, I’m able to maintain a routine that keeps your pets happy and engaged while I work. When caring for pets in my home, I create a comfortable and safe environment tailored to each pet's needs. We have a large fully fenced yard, as well! I ensure they have their own cozy space, whether that’s a crate, bed, or designated area. Regular outdoor walks, playtime, and attention to their diet and routines are a priority. I also provide plenty of mental stimulation with toys and activities, and offer lots of affection and companionship. When caring for pets in their own home, I maintain their usual routine to keep them feeling secure. This includes feeding, walking, playtime, and any special care instructions you may have—whether it's administering medication, helping with training, or providing extra attention for senior pets. I always strive to create a calm, familiar environment so pets feel at ease while their owners are away.
