“Juel was wonderful! My dog, Grace, was smiling in every picture and was totally calm and happy when I came to pick her up. I’ll definitely be checking on Juel’s availability every time we take a trip and need boarding.”
“Emily watched our boy for us while we spent the day at Holiday World. Winston loved spending the day with Copper and Scout in the back yard and even felt comfortable enough to sit on Emily’s lap - trust me, this says a lot because Winston doesn’t like anyone! Lol ? I will definitely be booking with Emily again and am so thankful I found her!”
“This was our second time boarding Ruby with Amber. She had another great stay and seems to really enjoy her time with Amber and her family. Amber is our go-to sitter now for boarding needs for our Ruby girl!!”
“Nick is the best! Molly has never been left with a sitter, always boarded at kennels. This personal care was so reassuring. He sent pictures of Molly. She loved being there. Would give 10 stars if possible”
About: I love dogs and they deserve the best! I have had a dog for 7 years and he is well trained and gets along with other dogs. I work full time 9am-5pm. I can work evenings and weekends. I take my dog for walks often on the riverwalk or at parklands. I have an adjustable lunch in case I have to check on pets during the day. I have 1 dog that is dog friendly and house trained. I’m pretty flexible for what needs your pets may need in home. I do not have a fenced yard and will leash them to potty outside.
“We have an almost 14 year old sweet senior dog, and I get nervous leaving him, but Sarah was so wonderful! She asked thoughtful questions in our interview, and followed our routine perfectly. She gave him everything he needed and more! We would definitely recommend her!”
About: Hi, I am Marlene and I love just 5 Miles from Holiday World, Santa Claus, Indiana. l am self employed as a Senior Caregiver and a Dog Groomer. I have loved all animals my whole life and we have always had dogs in our home. I love all animals and even volunteered at the Louisville Zoo from the age of 13-15. Our animals are part of our family and priority in my life. It would be a privilege to care for your Pup Kids too, where they will receive lots of love, attention, and play time! Whatever your pet needs to be comfortable in my home, I will make sure they have the best experience possible. See me on Facebook under Pup Kids Groom N Board. I am self employed, so I can arrange my schedule to be available to care for your pup! I'm available for boarding hourly, daily and overnights. Short Notice = Less than 5 days will be an additional $20 to rearrange my work schedules. All pet’s safety is my first priority. I have 3 very friendly and social Mini Bernedoodles so vaccination records will be required before booking approval (Rabies, Bordetella, and Distemper). My home is pet friendly and I allow morning zoomies and play in the house as well as pets on our couches. I have a large fenced backyard with a covered deck, as well as a completely fenced 1 acre beyond that. My fenced backyard is dog-friendly, clean and free of anything that could harm your pet. Because each dog is different, please inform me of any specific personalities or needs that I need to be aware of to keep your pat safe and happy.
“Ruby had a great stay at Courtney’s house! I got updates and pictures throughout the week. Courtney’s kids helped take care of Ruby and enjoyed having a pup in the house. I’m grateful Courtney was able to keep Ruby for us!”
“Kyla was fantastic! Her home was clean and geared for dogs. The fenced in backyard was nice and spacious and had obstacles toys set up. Kyla was very communicative and sent lots of pictures with updates. Our Luna felt right at home and was treated like their own pack. 10/10 will book with her again.”
About: I’ve had several animals in my lifetime. I had my late dog Lucy (terrier mix) for 17 years until her passing in 2021. I helped rescue a husky in 2013 and have recently adopted a golden retriever puppy that just finished puppy training classes! I love caring for animals and helping those on busy days who need help caring for their furry friends! I’m currently working part time and have the flexibility to come and care for animals through the week and weekends as needed! I can assist with just letting animals out for potty breaks or walks - whatever the client needs! I have a fenced in yard but also live in the country and am able to take my pup on walks a few times a week. My dog and cat are both regularly brushed and played with each day and receive adequate vet care. I also help a family with their house cleaning and lab each week and let the pup outside while they’re away.
