“Thanks, Holly, for being so reliable and taking care of my old boy!!”

About: Having grown up with many animals, I have a genuine love for providing pets with care, attention, and the compassion they deserve. I am dependable, responsible and empathetic to the needs of animals. I understand the importance of keeping pets in a routine to maintain their heath and happiness. My goal is to provide your pet with compassionate care and help the pet owner ease the anxiety that comes with having to leave their pet for any length of time. I am currently reducing my work hours which gives me more flexibility throughout the day. I am flexible and accessible to most suggested time frames. I am currently not offering care services from my home. I feel that most animals thrive when sticking to familiar surroundings and routines. I aim to leave the condition of your home as is or improved upon by my visit. Shoes off, Paws wiped clean, etc.

About: Growing up, my dog Roxy was one of my best friends. That’s the root of my love of our four legged friends. I’ve also cherished opportunities I’ve had to take care of my neighbors, friends and families pets over the years as well. Whether it’s just been for walks around the block or dog sitting for weeks at a time, I’ve been a trusted source of canine companionship. In addition to these experiences, my work as an RN has given me confidence and a level headed mindset when dealing with stressful and difficult situations. Big dogs, small dogs, doesn’t matter I just want to be your dogs new best friend! I’m currently working a flexible schedule which allows me to take time for your pet! Depending on the day I’ll be avail as morning, noon or night and am free most weekends! I live in a pet friendly home with a fenced in backyard and plenty of space to run around! Whatever your pets needs are I’m happy to accommodate!

About: I’ve spent years caring for dogs and cats of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I currently have an 8-year-old dog, Mickey, and two 1-year-old cats, Moose and Cooper, so pet care is also part of my everyday life. I also volunteered with several animal shelters throughout high school and college, which gave me experience around animals with a wide range of temperaments and backgrounds. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, potty breaks, basic medication instructions, and giving pets the individual attention they need. I’m especially attentive to changes in behavior, appetite, energy, or bathroom habits and will always keep you updated. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet and entering your home, so I take reliability, communication, and following instructions very seriously. My schedule currently allows me to offer flexible pet care throughout the week, including walks, drop-in visits, and overnight house sitting. I keep my calendar updated and plan bookings carefully so I can give each pet the time and attention they need rather than overbooking myself. I follow each pet’s normal routine and their owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walking preferences, medications, crate routines, and any household rules. I pay attention to doors, gates, leashes, weather, surroundings, and interactions with other animals. I also believe communication is part of good pet care, so I’ll provide regular updates and photos and let you know promptly if anything seems unusual.

“Alexis was absolutely fantastic taking care of my baby Luna! Luna is only 6 months old, has a lot of energy, is not fully trained and I'm sure was a handful for someone to walk in day-one and manage, But she did above and beyond. She brought toys and puzzles, made sure Luna was fed and properly walked. She updated me on how the walks went, when she arrived and left, told me about the other dogs Luna got to meet along the walks and seemed totally joyful and sincere about spending time with my sweet girl. I will be hiring Alexis over and over in the future!”

About: I have run my own business Holliewood Doo Doo Adventures for 10 years (here in Facebook..check me out). Started out as waste pick up and branched out from there as I got older and it provided flexibility with schedules Also myself and my family have worked with ABRA, Inc Rescue to help foster 3 Dogs to help give them love and Discipline and skills to be able to be adopted out. I enjoy providing the Love, Patience, Time needed for each animal as every personality and needs are different. Also, knowing that they are a part of our families and to help soothe them in the transition as well as fur parents when they need to leave Currently I am a College student and this fits into my schedule well and I have flexibility and that's why I love it. I am now off for the Summer and even though I go back in the fall I work around my online classes. I have 2 dogs of our own and a cat. Realizing they have individual needs and they love the safe space of their own home it is important to me to provide that care that you specifically may need for them. You know this and I have so many that suffer from Anxiety or Seniors that do better in their own homes. That is what I am here for...whether they require so many walks per day or snuggles or play time

About: Hi there! I worked as kennel staff at an animal hospital for over a year before I moved to Nevada, and then I worked at both and animal hospital and a grooming salon during the two years I lived there! (I have since returned to Northwest Indiana!) I took care of both cats and dogs(of all breeds and disabilities) and helped medicate and treat them! I have owned pets all my life, both cats and dogs, and have been their primary caretakers. I am heavily passionate about animals! I currently have two dogs and four cats. I am 23 and have a driver's license. I love animals more than anything, and would do whatever it takes to make your pets feel happy and safe in my company! I am currently unemployed, so I have plenty of time to take care of other people's pets! I live in a household with other people, so I'm more than able to housesit, as well! I love to keep animals company, and I will do whatever I'm asked to do to take care of someone's pet. If said pet is undergoing training of any sort, I'm willing to make sure that training is implemented throughout the visit, walk, or stay. I absolutely love giving furbabies my attention and love, but will go at the pets pace. I won't force my affections on an anxious animal.

About: Grew up having a dog (or 2 at times…as well as bunnies…and some other reptiles!). I currently live in an accommodation where I am not able to have a pet and I have become to miss animals more and more! There is no such thing as a bad animal, only a poorly trained one, and I treat them all with love and care. I’m available every Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday all day (and night)! My schedule can be as free as needed on those days and I am open to spending lots of time with your pets to make sure they get the best care possible! I am very careful and thoughtful around pets and other people’s property. I will treat your belongings and animals with the utmost respect and care.

“Ashley has been absolutely amazing to work with! She’s reliable, flexible, and has been terrific with both of our dogs. They get genuinely excited when she arrives and happily head out on their walks with her without any hesitation. It’s clear how comfortable they are with her, which gives us tremendous peace of mind. We couldn’t recommend Ashley more highly!”

About: I have had a lot of experience since my teens and I continue to have a constant bond with animals. My newest edition is a Bern doodle. I have a wonderful home for your fur babies and sometimes watch my fur grandbabies also . So they can have interaction with them and me . I can basically offer services of your needs just let me know what your baby loves and I can agree to almost agree with anything to make them happy and comfortable.

About: I’ve had pets my whole life and love animals of every kind. I love playing and snuggling with animals and have always loved to care for friends’ pets. At parties, you can usually find me talking to the dogs or cats! After May 31, I will be free all day and will be able to provide continuous care if needed. My husband and two teenagers will also be around to make sure your pets have the best stay ever. I have a fenced in yard and currently, we don’t have any pets after our rescue dog crossed the rainbow bridge this year. At my house, your pets are welcome on beds and couches, though we will also respect boundaries you have at your house. I have two teenage boys who love to play and snuggle with animals. I am also happy to come to your house, as I know many pets are comfortable in their own space.

About: I've had furry family members my entire life. They taught me the importance of patience, loyalty, and kindness. My family and I were lucky enough to have a variety of dogs as part of our family. A Basset Hound (Jake), a Pitbull (Roxy), an English Mastiff/Shar-pei mix (Bruno), and an American Akita/Shar-pei mix (Meesha). The most important thing about having a furry family member is knowing that they each have their own personality and they have feelings just like humans do. You're their entire world and are deserving of the love and respect that they unconditionally give out to you. And like family members, they have bad days too. Since they aren't capable of voicing their grievances, they rely on their loving family to recognize these issues with patience and caring attention. Currently I have two rescue cats named Cooper and Remy. Both have wildly different personalities, love cuddles, and enjoy playing with their toys. I work at an animal shelter part-time and I am fear free certified. I am available weekdays and weekends. I'm excited for the opportunity to help out those who need that fun night out, end up working overtime, or have fun plans for the weekend. We love our fur-babies but unfortunately, we can't bring them everywhere. I will travel to and sit at the client's home. I would rather your pets be in a comfortable environment that they are familiar with to make this experience as relaxed and happy as possible.

“My babies love her!!!”

About: I have up to a eight years of experience taking care of animals. The most known being cats, dogs, birds, and some farmlife. I also have experience in grooming regarding bathing dogs and cats. This is something I am currently working toward furthering my career in. I am currently unemployed, although I am working on getting a job. I care for two cats at home full time as well as the occasional care of my roommate's pet skink. I have a 7 year old and an 8 month old who is sometimes a full-time job himself. I currently live in an apartment so I do not offer care at my home due to my lease not allowing it. However, within the home of my client I try to keep a common eye on the animals, making sure they are fed, have water, and if required the litterbox/bathroom is done whenever they need it.

About: I provide dependable, attentive care and treat every dog like family. I’m patient, observant, and make sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owner is away. I’m experienced with maintaining feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and giving dogs the attention they need to stay relaxed and happy. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I already structure my schedule around being responsible, active, and consistent. I have the flexibility to dedicate time throughout the day for walks, feeding, playtime, bathroom breaks, and giving pets attention and companionship. I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals, so caring for pets feels rewarding rather than stressful. Throughout the week, I make sure pets have a stable routine, plenty of supervision, and a comfortable environment where they can feel safe and relaxed while their owners are away. When caring for pets in my home, I focus on creating a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where they can feel relaxed and cared for. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and any special instructions from the owner. I also make sure pets get plenty of attention, supervision, and exercise throughout the day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and maintain the pet’s usual routine to help them feel comfortable while their owner is away. I make sure they are fed on time, walked, given fresh water, and receive companionship and care. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are in good hands.

I'll also keep your home tidy, clean up after your pet, and provide regular photo and text updates so you can have peace of mind while you're away. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, happy, and cared for in the place they know best.
