1. Hannah G.

“Hannah was amazing. She showed up on time and came across as very warm and responsible. We came home to our house the way that we left it and both kids seemed happy and content. Hannah showed us patience with our elderly dog, Harly who is struggling with bathroom breaks and mild mobility issues. Hannah responded very quickly on our daily checkins and made us feel that the kids were her top priority. We will definitely ask Hannah to watch the kids again. Thanks Hannah!”

About: every sitter loves animals, but I really do adore animals and I love being able to just enjoy and meet new animals. My special skills with animals is to cuddle! I love making sure the fur babies are taking care of with love and respect! I currently work a full time job, M-T from 7 to 5, which is the main reason of dog sitting on the weekends! I can do full weeks just need to know ahead of time to be able to discuss with work! The best option is to have them at the client’s home, animals are always comfortable when at home and a place they know! It’s already scary that a stranger is in there house but much better than a scary car ride into a new house!


5. Bree B.

“Bree was wonderful! And most important, Sophie was a happy girl and well taken care of. Bree’s experience is such a plus and, after just a short time, we felt comfortable and assured that Sophie would be in good hands. We will definitely use her services again.”

7. Karissa H.
“I had the most wonderful experience with Karissa! She took excellent care of my furry friend, providing plenty of love, attention, and playtime. I felt at ease leaving my dog in her hands, knowing she is experienced and truly passionate about animals. She followed all instructions meticulously and even went the extra mile to send me updates and photos while I was away. I highly recommend this caring and responsible dog caretaker to anyone in need of top-notch pet care!”


8. Makynna L.
“If you’re looking for a dependable person to care for your fur babies, I would hands down recommend Makynna! We know her and her family personally and they are all amazing, caring people. We’ve had Makynna pet sit for us on several occasions. We never had to worry about the care our doggie received while we were out of town and we knew she even went above and beyond to give him extra love to ease his anxiety.”

11. Johwen M.
About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my genuine love for animals, personalized care for each pet, and reliable service. Your pets will feel at home with me! Most of my days end at around 4pm with nothing much left to do, so I’m searching for something to occupy that time, and I love animals so why not this! I care for pets by creating a safe, comfortable environment tailored to their needs. I also follow any specific instructions provided by the pet owners to make sure their pets feel right at home.


12. Benjamin B.
“I've known Benjamin for 10 years and can say without a doubt that he is a more than capable dog sitter. He has taken care of my old and needy 10 year old dog on a number of occasions. He is also a good dog owner currently with his pup Bayla. He is responsible and responsive and anyone utilizing him as a dog sitter would be lucky to have him.”


13. Mykhail M.
“She has done such a good job watching my dogs. I needed someone to watch my dog last minute because I needed to help my mom in another state. She rush right over that same night. She treats my dog like they are family. I highly recommend her.”

“Vada has been our reliable dog sitter for many years. She is dependable, flexible, and loves our dogs. And our dogs love Vada.

I also find it very convenient that I can pay her via PayPal. So simple! Vada is the best!”

17. Katherine K.
“Katherine is a wonderful pet caregiver. She has pet-sat for me many times and my cats were always very comfortable around her, happy, and well taken care of.

18. Chloe B.
About: I’ve had pets pretty much all my life. They each become a part of me and stay in my heart forever. I’ve had cats, dogs, fish, birds, and I have cared for them along with bunnies and snakes when I worked at the shelter. I love my pets dearly and will treat your pets with as much love. I currently have more open availability in the mornings so I would be able to check in on your pets for you while you run your errands or you’re at work. Give them the love and attention that you want to give them, but unfortunately aren’t able to. I wake up in the mornings and give my babies food and fresh water. Give them attention once they wake up a little bit. I check their bowls periodically when I’m home and change the water at night and give them a little more food before bed. Along with nighttime cuddles because house are important. I wake up in the morning and take care of my cats first thing. Get them food. I wash their water bowl out and get them fresh water. I give them attention after they wake up a little bit more. I pay attention to their body signs and try to give them what they need. I love and care for my pets and I will do the same for yours.


19. Chloe C.
About: Hello, I’m a current student at Ball State University! I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 12 years old! Friends, neighbors, and friends have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets as well as doing daily check ins. I’m currently going to college and working a part time job so I will have plenty of time to play with your sweet pups and provide the best care for them. I have a side yard and a friendly pup to keep your dog company! I can easily crate your dog if needed and take them on daily walks.
