Pet Boarding in Wakarusa

“We are so thankful for Enid and Joe. Our two dogs fit right in. They learned how to even use a doggie door. I noticed a little change in them for the good. They communicate daily and send pictures which is wonderful. We will absolutely continue using them. Not only are they great with the dogs. They are really kind people. We are happy to call them new friends. Their dogs are sweet and used to being around other dogs. They are worth hiring to care for your dogs. Highly recommend! Thank you, Edin and Joe.”

“Michele was awesome with Sasha. Sasha is a little timid, but warmed up quickly. Michele sent photo updates the whole weekend. She was patient with Sasha. She also worked with drop off and pick up times. I would absolutely recommend Michele!”

“This was the first time I left my puppy. Even though I texted to check on him way more than I should have Nicholas never got upset and kept me updated with videos and answered whatever questions I had. Beaux was with him four nights. I would use him again and definitely recommend”

About: Hi! I’m an animal lover with over five years of experience pet sitting for dogs, cats, and even the occasional exotic pet (most recently, an axolotl!). I have two dogs and a cat of my own, though they’re currently living out of state—so I’m really missing the daily joy of having pets around. I'm a responsible and reliable professional with a full-time job (8 AM – 4 PM), so I’m available for care in the mornings, evenings, and on weekends. I’m experienced with senior pets, administering oral medications, and providing extra care for animals with specific needs. I always aim to follow your instructions closely and make your pet feel safe, loved, and at home. Whether it’s walks, cuddles, playtime, or special care—I'm here to help and treat your pet like family. I’m a full-time professional with a work schedule from 8 AM to 4 PM, which means I’m available for pet care in the early mornings, evenings, and on weekends. I’m happy to accommodate feeding schedules, check-ins, walks, or cuddle time outside of those work hours. If you're planning a trip or need consistent care during non-work hours, I’m reliable, communicative, and happy to help. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or mine, their comfort and safety are always my top priorities. I create a calm, nurturing environment where animals feel secure, respected, and loved. In your home, I follow your routines closely and maintain a clean, low-stress environment so your pet feels safe while you're away. I value building trust—with both pets and their people—so I always communicate clearly and provide regular updates for your peace of mind. While my home does not have a fenced-in yard, your dog will get plenty of leashed walks, fresh air, and attention. I make sure they get the exercise, care, and affection they need, all while staying safe and secure. Your pet’s well-being is everything to me, and I care for them as if they were my own.

“My last pet sitter canceled last minute and everything went to crap as my cat pepper "drama king screaming demon" needs medicine for his stomach and anxiety in his old age. Sonny took my black fur ball of rage and distrust and made sure he had his medicine and space as pepper can be a bit "much" she gave lots of pictures and updates and was available within 2 days of booking which I desperately needed. She also worked with me as my family trip had gotten derailed when our car broke down and was willing to watch him for a bit longer as we figured out how to get home. She builds a great rapport and I can tell her own animals adore her and are VERY well socialized. Her kitten peaches ran up to me wanting to say hi and her dog ham was not aggressive in the least meeting me for the first time, he just wanted pats!”

About: I’ve had dogs for over 10 years, especially small dogs, as well as cats for the last three. I enjoy taking care of all creatures, great and small, and I live in a neighborhood perfect for walking. I do have a standard 9 to 5 jobs, but they are OK with pets in the building. I am easily able to take them outside for potty break. I have a neighborhood with only one entrance before cars, and is extremely safe. It is the perfect area to go for a walk. There is an open space in the middle of the neighborhood. Great for playing fetch. I have aI have a neighborhood with only one entrance before cars, and is extremely safe.

“NO room for improvement! The Morgan family provided the same care that we give our dog with more play time! Piper had a huge yard and many dog friends to play with during her stay! She got plenty of attention from the Morgans and didn't have to use a crate. They sent us several pictures and videos throughout her stay which made our vacation much more enjoyable too!”

“Lorraine did an excellent job with our dog Josie! Josie has separation anxiety and Lorraine was so kind and patient with her, making her feel safe and comfortable. By the end of her stay she was having a blast! Lorraine was great at communicating and giving photos and updates as well. We will rebook next time we need someone to take care of Josie. Thank you!”

“Ivanis did a great job looking after our dog during a long weekend away. She kept us updated on how he was doing and we felt very comfortable knowing he was being well cared for and having a good time on a little vacation of his own!”

“Karen took wonderful care of my 2 dogs in her home. She sent multiple updates every day with pictures and spoiled them like her own pets. I will definitely use her again when next in Indiana. Both of my dogs have their quirks and she was great with their personalities. She even helped clear up an ear infection one dog developed at her house and kept me updated. So thankful for her willingness to go above and beyond!!”

Joy Z.

“Michaela was kind, communicative and very accommodating. She was great with Obi & sent pictures regularly. Recommend using her with your pup!”

Jessica W.

“Carlie Ann was a PERFECT fit for Cleo. I was so relaxed and able to get our business done on this trip because we knew Cleo was being well taken care of. She kept in touch with me on her progress and we will definitely use her again.”
