“Camilla was great! She communicated quickly, even for a last minute booking and took good care of our cat while we were away. It seemed like our cat liked her so we’ll definitely use her again!”
“Kathrine took great care of our cat Bambi. We had traveling delays and Kathrine was always willing to help out and put Bambi first. We will definitely be using Kathrine in the future. We are so grateful for her!!”
“I’m totally 💯% pleased with the job that Faith did with our animals while we were away. She did exactly what I asked of her and sent daily updates. I hope that she’s available the next time I go away.”
“Jamie did a fantastic job with my senior cat Apollo. He is old and has hyperthyroidism so he needs medication given to him twice a day. She was able to give that to him, along with follow all my other instructions. When I got home, everything was just how I had left it. This was my first time ever leaving my cat with someone and so I was nervous. Jamie immediately eased my nerves when I saw how happy Apollo was. She communicated very well while I was on my trip and sent photos and videos every time she came. If you are looking for someone to come watch your pet, Jamie is a great choice! I am very thankful for her services and I am so glad I chose her!”
“Katelyn did wonderfully watching our cat while we were gone! We so appreciated the frequent updates, her communication when she needed clarification on instructions I left, and ESPECIALLY her flexibility when we had to be gone longer than expected. She was happy to schedule more visits and work with our travel schedule. Highly recommend, and my kitty clearly loved the time she devoted to cuddles!”
About: I am completing my Animal Science degree and will be entering veterinary school this fall. I have 3 years of experience as a veterinary assistant in a small and exotic animal clinic working with a variety of different pets with different medical conditions, temperaments, and personalities. Additionally, I have six years of competitive dog training experience and two years of hands-on experience as a trainer. I can provide compassionate, professional care to all dogs who enter my care. I am currently a full-time student, but have plenty of time to allocate to pets in the early morning and afternoons. I only have online courses on Tuesdays and Thursdays and am free most weekends. I am highly organized and am committed to scheduling time in my schedule to provide care, exercise, and entertainment to pets under my care. I care for pets by ensuring that they have a safe, clean crate or living area, fresh water at all times, and meals provided when needed. I personalize walks/play and enrichment based on the pet to ensure that they are entertained and well exercised. I provide a positive experience with lots of treats and toys (approved by the owner) and will follow any requests made by the owner.
About: I’ve been raising dogs since I was 12 years old. I have experience with elder dogs, puppies, and everything in between. These dogs have ran from small to large, and I can handle dogs of any size and age. I am not busy with work right now, so I have all the time in the world to spend with your dogs! I’d love to spend time with animals. I am always respectful of my clients property and pets. I maintain communication with the client, letting them know when walks are, when they are fed and watered, as well as send in cute pictures!
About: I've had dogs and cats growing up my entire life. I absolutely love animals and would love the opportunity to meet yours! We currently have our cat, Piper, and Boston Terrier, Pongo. I work from home, so I would be home all day with your animals. I'm able to take breaks whenever for potty breaks, and we have a small, fenced in, front yard. Our complex also has a lot of walking pathes & with permission we love taking pets for longer walks around the area. We did recently move from Indiana to North Carolina, so please not we are now located in North Carolina for services. We live in a 3 bedroom townhome with a small fenced in front yard. We have plenty of sidewalks for walking & are just beside a larger dog park as well. My husband and I work together, so we are able to always be attentive to your pets needs.
“Gabby took great care of my cat. She communicated frequently and was easy and flexible to work with throughout the process. She and her mom went above and beyond, offering extra enrichment for my pet and giving him lots of love on each visit.”
“Sydney, was patient with my GSD, as she has separation anxiety and can be intimidating. I highly recommend Sydney and will be using her services again when I need to travel.”
About: I currently have a dog and 2 cats back home that I love and miss so much! I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes and love spending time cuddling my cats for a cozy night in. I'm currently only taking 2 classes at the moment and work sporadic hours at my part-time job, so I have many mornings and afternoons free. I am comfortable working with animals in your home where they are most comfortable as well as walking them on paths near your home. I can also take them to nearby dog parks.
“Grace took good care of my two cats with special needs over the holidays. They took to her instantly and she made sure they were well taken care of. She always sent good updates and photos of my kitties giving an update. She even helped give them a special Christmas treat while I was away!”
“Sierra was fantastic! Our spooky little cat was excited to see her and playing by the end. She went above and beyond in checking on her during a storm, and we came home to a happy, satisfied pet. :) We will absolutely call Sierra again!”
About: I have taken care of my own pets and other people’s pets my whole life (25+ years). I grew up with a rescue sheltie named Kali and watched my neighbor’s cats as a kid. After high school, I attended Purdue University to get my B.S. in Animal Science and gained experience working with animals of all varieties (small, large, wildlife, laboratory, exotics). I became passionate about animal medicine and decided I wanted to go to veterinary school. I got into the Purdue College of Veterinary Medicine after only three years of undergrad and have been studying there the last four years. Throughout my schooling, I have gained 8 years of training in various small animal clinics as well as the Purdue Small and Large Animal Hospitals. I am Fear Free Certified for dogs and cats and am comfortable working with any species of any size. I am able to provide quality medical care to any pet such as oral or injectable medications, subcutaneous fluids, monitoring heart rates, respiratory rates, mucous membranes, pulses, blood pressure, Libres, Holter-monitors, and other supportive care your pet may need. I have received extensive CPR training for dogs and cats and have worked with pets in any condition you can think of (geriatric, neonatal, critical condition, post-operatively, diabetics, Addison’s, hyper/hypothyroid, seizure dogs and cats, heart diseases, neurological disorders, non-ambulatory, etc.). You name it, I’ve probably seen it before! I currently have an adorable and loving beagle named Marshall who is a retired research dog. I also had a cat named Sylvie that I rescued in Ohio, but she passed away very recently. Let me know if you have any other species at your home that need attention! I love all pocket pets, birds, reptiles/amphibians, rabbits, and other exotic pets. I also love horses, pigs, llamas, alpacas, chickens, goats, cattle, sheep, and any other farm animal you might have on your property. I am currently a part-time student and have a flexible schedule. I can work with you to arrange what is best for you and your pet’s needs, and will ensure that my calendar is updated regularly with my availability. I will respect the safety and wishes of my clients in regards to caring for their pets in their households or while out on a walk. I believe that trust can be established by listening to a clients desires and goals and devoting myself to helping the client achieve them.

Kath has been wonderful with Billie. I truly appreciate how flexible and reliable she is, which makes scheduling much easier and less stressful. Knowing that she is a veterinary technician gives me extra confidence, especially when it comes to administering medications correctly and safely. Most importantly, she is someone I genuinely trust and feel secure leaving Billie with. I highly recommend her.

We so appreciated the frequent updates, her communication when she needed clarification on instructions I left, and ESPECIALLY her flexibility when we had to be gone longer than expected.

Jennifer was absolutely wonderful! She took such thoughtful and loving care of our cats and went above and beyond to make sure they were safe, comfortable, and happy while we were away. She paid close attention to details, kept us updated, and clearly genuinely cared about them. We had complete peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. We are so grateful for her help and would 100% recommend Jennifer to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and attentive cat sitter. Thank you so much, Jennifer! 💕🐾
Ayden watched our kitties last year and we were grateful to have her care for them again. She's so good with them! They warmed up to her immediately. She included lots of pictures in her reports which we were very appreciative of, and our cats always seemed happy to see her. Ayden kept everything neat and cleaned up all the cat messes. We highly recommend her for pet sitting!
