We couldn’t be happier with our experience! Alexia went above and beyond to make sure Cinco was comfortable, loved, and well taken care of. Communication was excellent, and it gave us total peace of mind while we were away. We will definitely be using her again!

About: I've taken care of family pets (cats and dogs) for 15+ years now, and on my own I a have two cats. My schedule is flexible, though my apartment does not allow for dogs and I prefer to pets sit at the pet's home, where they are most comfortable and familiar. I do not have experience caring for pets with serious medical conditions, but I have given dogs their medication on previous jobs. I am currently only available on weekends, though as I transition out of teaching my schedule will open up. I am available for any emergencies over the holidays. My apartment does not allow for dogs, and would prefer not to test how my cats would respond to other animals as it has been just them in my apartment for a few years now. I also believe that it's best to sit for apet in their own home where I am the only thing they have to adjust to. I am fastidious about following owner directions. My cats are fairly low-maintenance, but I also have experience with high-energy dogs like boxers, and pet size does not matter.

Kimberly did a great job with our new puppy, while we were away! Lots of playtime outside and tried walks with her. It was so reassuring to have Kimberly in our home, making our puppy feel comfortable. Daily pictures and videos were definitely appreciated. We hope to have Kimberly stay again soon!!

About: What can I say other than l love dogs. Actually I love all animals but especially dogs. I have had or been around dogs my whole life. We currently have a 5 year old Black Labrador named Veva Marie. In October of 2018 we had to have our 16 year old Lhasa apso Sadie put to sleep. One of the hardest days of my life by far. Dogs have always been more than just a pet to me, they are definitely family.I want you to feel confident knowing i will care and love your pet as if it were my own while you are away or at work. I also have experience in caring for cats and would love to help in caring for them also if you need me to. I look forward to meeting you and your fur baby and helping you with taking care of them. I am currently self employed part time, therefore I am extremely flexible with whatever you need in caring for your pets and look forward to hearing from you. I live on 2 acres in Wanatah, Indiana. My preference is to walk in neighborhoods and parks that are local for your pets or whatever you prefer! I currently work a full time day job but am looking to help people with their fur babies on the side. Luv 4 legged animals❤️ I am available for walks, drop in visits, and also house sitting if needed. Reach out and let me know how I can help you!

About: I have years of experience caring for pets and have been around animals my whole life. My family has fostered dogs since I was 7, so I’m very comfortable with dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments. I also worked for over a year in the boarding department at Arbor View Animal Hospital, where I cared for and walked many different dogs. I’m currently pursuing my passion for dog training and am trained in Dog CPR, First Aid, and basic training techniques. I am very flexible and willing to work with your schedule! Unfortunately, I am unavailable on Sundays but I am available Monday-Saturday for walks and drop-in visits! I will always require a meet and greet before a first time service to make sure the pet is comfortable with me. I understand that I will be in the dogs territory and will act accordingly! I offer walks and drop-in services which can include feeding, playing, potty breaks, and anything else that may be necessary for the dogs care and comfort!

I’m so glad I tried looking for another sitter and found Karina! She did a fantastic job! She truly cared for Zoey and made time to know her, and eventually they became buddies! Zoey has a separation anxiety and could be difficult to handle (she won’t leave the house even to go potty). But Karina took effort & was so patient with Zoey and made sure she got to potty for the day. The house was the same as how we left it. I definitely will book Karina again even for drop ins! Thank you so much, Karina! We appreciate you so much!

About: Although I am a cat mom of two, I also have deep care and compassion for dogs of all kinds! Since I was 16 years old, I have volunteered on and off at my local humane society, giving care to all animals. Care including: ensuring all dishes and laundry are fresh and clean, cleaning cages, feeding, as well as giving love & attention to each cat and dog! I also have had the honor of caring after my neighbors dog for about a year. This care included: taking him on walks and playing with him every 2-3 hours, feeding him, as well as giving plenty of love and pets! I’m currently working part-time, so I will have plenty of quality time to spend with your furry friend! During the week/weekends, I do not have a set work schedule, however I am flexible to work around my start and end times! If needed, I am able to easily crate your dog, I am able to take any precautions of care, as well as take upon requests that your fur baby may need during his/her time with me.

We had an amazing experience with Payton! Luca absolutely loved her and was so well cared for. She stayed at our home, kept everything very clean, and went above and beyond by leaving us a beautiful handmade welcome-back card and a sweet note about her time with Luca. She sent us pictures and detailed updates throughout the week, which we really appreciated. We felt completely at ease knowing Luca was in such loving and trustworthy hands. We would definitely book her again and highly recommend her!
