Dog Sitting in West Lafayette

“Katherine took good care of our cats over the winter holidays! She informed us when we were low on a medication (which was our fault, sorry), and she made sure the cats were happy every day. We even left the cats a Christmas present, and she gave it to them!”

About: Hi! I'm a Purdue student and experienced pet sitter with a lifelong love of animals. Having grown up with both dogs and cats, I'm comfortable caring for pets of all ages and personalities, from playful puppies and kittens to senior pets who need extra patience and attention. I've been caring for dogs and cats for over 10 years, beginning with pet sitting for neighbors and family friends at age 10. I also have experience caring for pets with medical needs, including administering care and monitoring pets with seizure disorders. I understand how important it is to have someone attentive, reliable, and calm when your pet requires extra support. During the summer, I maintain a flexible schedule and provide regular updates, photos, and communication so you can feel confident your pet is safe and well cared for while you're away. Whether your pet needs a walk, drop-in visit, or overnight care, my goal is to make them feel comfortable, loved, and cared for just like they would be at home. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. During the summer, I maintain a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable care, regular visits, and timely communication. I carefully manage my commitments to ensure pets receive the attention, exercise, feeding, and companionship they need. Whether your pet needs a quick drop-in, a long walk, or overnight care, I strive to maintain their normal routine and make their time away from you as stress-free as possible. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow all care instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise routines, and household rules. I have experience caring for pets with medical needs, including seizure disorders, and understand the importance of attentiveness, punctuality, and clear communication. When caring for pets in a client's home, I treat both the pet and the home with respect. I make sure pets are secure, comfortable, and supervised appropriately, and I provide regular updates and photos so you always know how they're doing.

“Amazing, attentive, and so good with our dogs!! Would highly recommend for any and all services.”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs ever since I was a little kid. I had 2 childhood dogs and currently have 3 dogs back in my home state of Illinois, one Labrador and two mixes. I absolutely love dogs and know what’s required to keep dogs happy and healthy! Pretty much the only animals I don’t love are bugs, and I have pet sit for neighbors back home and watched dogs, cats, and even rabbits! I am currently a full time graduate student at Purdue, but with most of my classes being online, it offers me quite a bit of flexibility during the week. Recently I have also started working weekends, typically 7 hour shifts on Saturdays and Sundays. This can make weekends a bit difficult to schedule, but I’m always happy to spend the rest of the day with any pet! Unfortunately, I am unable to care for pets in my own home at this time as my lease does not allow animals of any kind.

“Alexandria was prompt during drop-ins for our three dogs and caring while we were away. When we returned home they were in good spirits. Alexandria was also prompt in responding which was nice as well!”

I love them all. I have been gentle, caring, and loving with animals from a young age. My first ever pet was a Chihuahua. From ages 6-10, and took care of him myself since I was an only child at the time and he was like my best friend. We both were born in Puerto Rico, and came to the States together. I would make sure he would potty outside, feed him, play with him, and of course make sure he was healthy and happy. I've had various baby chickens, a bunny, a hamster, a turtle, and finally ducks. I’ve also taken care of family members dogs and cats for periods of time while they were out of town. I currently have a blue French bulldog puppy. Who I adore. I love spending time with animals. They are so much fun and I am grateful to be able to bring them joy n love as much as they bring me Feel free to reach out anytime:). This is my part time job but I can always work around my time if it’s needed!!, I am available 11a.m.-5 p.m. from Monday- Friday to walk your dogs, and check up on your fur babies! I can always make space for weekends, it just depend on the time(but if you have any other requests out of that time frame don't hesitate to reach out) I am not offering services in my home at this time or any overnight pet sittings. Keep in mind that, I keep my calendar updated on the app. :) Please let me know if your dog has special recall words, behavioral issues (please be specific), allergies, how they do around other animals as well as people, or anything else you feel I would need to know to best. Thank you !

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.

About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life! I have experience with dog sitting and dog walking! Always excited to meet a new puppy! I am free all afternoons! But if needed in the morning or evening let me know! I’m always willing to negotiate a schedule to whatever is easiest for you! Unfortunately I am in an apartment so I will not be able to pet sit at my home, but whenever your pet needs to go outside I will keep an eye on them (especially if there is no fence)! I am able to lead a pet into a crate if needed. If there is anything else you would like me to do while with your pet let me know!

About: While I have only provided official pet care once, I have gained experience through owning and caring for my own pets since I was a young girl. My family has raised a variety of animals, and we've always had dogs and cats in our home. Over the years, we've owned goats, bunnies, birds, dogs, and cats. My experience comes from caring for my own pets, plus helping out with pets belonging to family, friends, and neighbors. I've learned how to handle feeding, grooming, cleaning up after them, and making them feel comfortable and loved. I would love nothing more than to meet your sweet pet and give them all the love and care they deserve whenever you need a reliable, caring caretaker. Weekdays: I’m available in the afternoons and evenings, from 2:00–8:00 PM, for check-ins and walks. Saturdays: I’m available for occasional visits throughout the day to feed, walk, play with, and spend quality time with your pet. I will show all pets love and attention through play and physical touch. As a lover of the outdoors, it is my pleasure to take your pet outside to play and run around with them. For cats, I will show them the attention they need, whether that's gentle petting, brushing, playing with toys, or simply sitting quietly with them so they feel comfortable and secure. I will always respect your home when visiting. I will make sure food and water bowls are fresh, litter boxes are clean, and that pets have a quiet, cozy space to rest when they need it. I promise to treat every pet like my own family member, with patience, kindness, and plenty of love.

“Marissa was so helpful! I ran into a problem during my booking and she was so flexible and communicative during the process of getting everything straightened out. I’m so grateful that my cat was well-looked after while I was out of town!”

About: I am an animal lover at heart. I enjoy walking and playing with dogs along with snuggling with my cat. I had helped taken care of an elder cavalier. He was happy but had some health issues near the end. Having a cat has opened my eyes to a whole new world of feline fun and cuddles. My schedule is currently flexible. I would be available during the day normally and occasionally on the weekends. I’ll do my best to accommodate the needs you might have. I take time to be with the animals (if they want it), play, sit, and provide activities or exercise, like walking and playing with toys.

“Grace was an amazing cat sitter! She was able to give all the medicine to my girl Alaska. She was very attentive with them and always sent me check-in pictures. My flight was canceled and she was able to extend the visits, she was very helpful. I would recommend her to anyone!”

Genesis S.

“Phenomenal experience! I had to be out of town for work and was uneasy about leaving my dogs in someone else's care. Kylie's kindness and professionalism, as well as her interactions with the dogs during the meet-and-greet completely won me over. She kept me updated not only for each drop-in visit but even beyond! Kylie will definitely be my first point of contact if I find myself in need of a dog sitter again! Highly recommend!”

“Mariana did a great job caring for Cosmo - taking him out for walks and to do his business. She also made sure he got his meds and followed up and got our house key back to us in a timely fashion.”

“Christopher kindly helped us out when we had to go out of town on short notice. He took good care of our pup, was prompt and communicative! I'd gladly hire him again.”

About: Hello! My name is Audrey, and I'd love to meet your furbaby! I have two years of experience working as a veterinary assistant, and one at a doggy daycare. As a veterinary assistant, I am responsible for triage, drawing and administering vaccines and medications, performing nail trims, monitoring anesthesia, and handling dogs during exams and various procedures. I also own two dogs, a cat, and a bird! I feel comfortable working with puppies, seniors, dogs of all sizes, and those with special medication needs. I am a college student at Purdue, so care will be based on my class schedule. I am available MWF from 6am-11:30, and TTH from 6am-10am. I am available Wednesdays after 4pm, and all other days after 6pm. I have full availability on weekends, starting at 6am. The safety and comfort of animals under my care is my utmost priority. I have experience handling different temperaments and sizes of animals, and I try to keep our interactions as low-stress for them as possible. Before starting service we can discuss any specific needs and client expectations.

“(Written from the perspective of Margot, a female black lab.) Carrie was a nice lady. From the minute she first came by to meet me, she knew right where to scratch and rub. I can tell she really knows how to deal with us doggos. She fed me dinner (always so yummy!) and took me out on a walk -- which was probably all about looking for squirrels, but it gave me a chance to pee and do my business. I don't know why my human has to go away sometimes, but when he does, I hope I'll keep on getting visits from Carrie! I'll bet she'll take great care of me when I have to board overnight too!”
