About: Hi, I’m Damon, a dependable, animal-loving sitter who treats your pets like family! I’ll make sure your pets are safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’m experienced with cats, dogs, and many other small animals. I always provide updates with photos so you can relax knowing your pets are in good hands. Pet care is a big part of my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to offer morning, afternoon, and evening visits—perfect for feeding, walks, playtime, or just keeping your pet company. In your home, I follow your pet’s routine closely to help them feel safe and comfortable. I make sure they’re fed on schedule, have fresh water, clean litter or potty breaks, and get plenty of attention—whether that’s playtime, cuddles, or just quiet companionship. I keep your home tidy, your pet happy, and provide photo updates so you know all is well while you're away.

About: I've grown up taking care of dogs, and also have experience caring for small animals like rabbits! I'm comfortable walking large dogs, and have often cared for older animals. I am currently a grad school student, so I have a very flexible schedule! My daily routine can easily be adjusted around your pet's needs. I don't own any pets at the moment, so yours will receive all my attention! I'm happy to stop by periodically for walks or stay with your pet for the day. I live near a few parks perfect for longer walks too.


About: I am a recent PhD graduate who has plenty of love to give to your pets when you're away! I am honored to invest all my energy and attention to a member of your family! I don't own a pet yet, so I love to share my free time with pets who can benefit from it. My house has a deck and a backyard - a great spot to hang out with your pet. I live in a neighborhood full of family homes with a dog park and a lake nearby - perfect places for dog/cat walks and runs. If there is anything I can do to make your dog/cat feel happier while babysitting, please let me know so I can do everything in my power so they don't miss you as much while you're gone! COVID19 extra precautions: During these crazy times, safety is extremely important to me, especially when being close to animals. I have been fully vaccinated and boosted and as a student requirement. If you'd like me to get tested immediately before my visit to your home, I'd be happy to. Just let me know in advance! :) I'm working mostly remote, so my laptop travels easily. I don't own any pets of my own, so yours will just brighten my week simply by existing near me 🥰 I like to meet the pets first to make sure they are comfortable with me while their parents are away. I adjust my routine to their needs (walks, play time, meds time etc) and I typically take too many pictures but choose the best ones to send daily haha

“Kendall was very good with my puppy who is going through teenager phase. She is very considerate, patient and takes the time to get to no a pet where the pet warms up and feels comfortable with her!”


“Been using Sheree for a few weeks now, I love that I found someone I can trust with my dog. She’s very very shy and scared of strangers and many other things out in this world. The first day Sheree took the time to just get to know her and sit down with her so she’s comfortable with her presence. She continues to take it low with my dog Kya and understands that some days she goes backwards in her progress of not being scared. I always get detailed messages about each visit and pictures/videos! And I can certainly tell how comfortable Kya has gotten with her just from the pictures/videos. I’ve always been hesitant about having someone I didn’t initially know take care of my fur babies, but I absolutely 1000/10 recommend using Sheree!”


About: I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your furry friend. While my experience comes from taking care of my own pet, I treat every animal with the same love, patience, and attention as if they were my own. I provide reliable and loving pet care with a routine that keeps your pet happy and comfortable. Your furry friend will get at least two walks a day, along with plenty of playtime, attention, and affection. I offer flexible scheduling, including daily check-ins, feeding, and overnight stays if needed. I’ll follow your pet’s routine to ensure they feel safe and stress-free while you're away. Whether it’s exercise, companionship, or extra care, I’m here to help! I provide a secure, loving environment, whether in my home or yours. My fenced backyard offers a safe space for outdoor play, and our neighborhood has beautiful walkable trails with ponds, perfect for safe and enjoyable walks. I always keep pets leashed and supervised to ensure their safety while exploring.

About: I have worked with client owned animals, shelter animals, and lab animals. All of which have exposed to me to variety in temperament, behavior, and approachability. I am also a Purdue vet student, so I am prepared in case of emergency. I am a vet student so I am busy most week days but I do have evenings and weekends free in addition to some breaks throughout my day to do drop ins. I treat my clients pets like my own pets. My dog and cat are super spoiled. A day in their life looks like access to a balanced diet, clean water all day, lots of naps, access to a variety of enrichment, as well as daily walks and playtime.

About: For over 8 years, I’ve nurtured my sweet domestic shorthair kitty through her battle with feline lower urinary disease, mastering the art of keeping her happy and comfortable. When my partner joined me, I gained an adventurous 8-year-old Chihuahua mix who’s become my best buddy—together, we explore the world. My pet care approach blends love, patience, and practical know-how, ensuring every furry friend feels safe, cared for, and cherished. After recently stepping away from a position that wasn’t the right fit, I’m dedicating my time to pursuits that genuinely bring me joy—like spending quality moments with pets. My open and adaptable schedule allows me to give the attention and care every furry friend deserves. Whether it’s taking a dog on a lively walk or providing a cozy environment for a cat to feel safe and loved. I treat every client’s home with the utmost respect, ensuring their pets feel secure and loved in their familiar surroundings. I prioritize safety by carefully following instructions, maintaining clean and comfortable spaces, and keeping a watchful eye on their well-being. With a nurturing approach, I build trust with pets through kindness, patience, and attentiveness. My goal is to provide a calm and reassuring presence, so both pets and owners feel confident in my care.

About: I always try my best to follow the dog's routines and specific needs just as the owner requests. I also like to take them on frequent walks to help them adjust more quickly to a new environment. I'm currently home with my kids, so I have lots of time to spend playing with your pups. I'm also usually available for weekend boarding. I have a fenced back yard area where your pup could run around and play. Also I have separate half basement play area for kids and pups.

About: I have been pet-sitting for 5 years. I have a dog of my own as well and know how important it is to be able to trust who you are leaving your companion with.

I am able to accurately follow all directions you leave when caring for your pet in your home. If dog walking services are what you are looking for, I am able to walk as long as your pet needs!

“I have a newly adopted rescue dog who was abused and is very fearful of new people. This was my first time leaving him with a sitter and I was very nervous for him. Allison was kind and patient with him and he did very well! She took care of both of my dogs at this time and was excellent with communicating before her initial visit and during each scheduled visit. I would trust Allison again with my pets.”

“Katelyn is friendly & enthusiastic person who walked our high energy holden retriever, Molly for an hour last Sunday afternoon. Molly was happy to see Katelyn when she arrived at the house, and Katelyn filled me in on their walk together after their walk ended. I have great confidence that Molly is in good hands with Katelyn! Thank you, Katelyn. We look forward to your next visit with Molly!”
