About: Hi! I’ve been a lifelong dog lover and proud dog owner, and animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve learned a lot over the years, watching training methods, reading, and through my own experiences with dogs- so I truly understand how much trust it takes to leave your pets in someone else’s care.🎾 I’m dependable, attentive, and will treat your pets with the same love and respect I give my own. Whether it’s dog walks or drop-in visits, I’d love to help keep your pets happy, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away🐾 Plenty of daytime availability: mornings, midday, early afternoons are wide open for walks and drop ins! Open daytime schedule for all summer- perfect for last minute visit's 🎾🐾 I have a large, fully fenced backyard and two sweet, calm fur babies who love meeting new friends! Your pet will also have their own private space if they prefer quiet time or need a break.
About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life! I love all kinds of animals and building relationships with them! Please reach out with any questions! I center my day around when I need to take care of pets, and plan my day around it. I will make your pet my priority! I will treat your pet as my own and keep them company while you’re away! I will also send daily updates if requested! We will have a great time together!
About: I’m very fond of animals and serious about their care! I’ve had a variety of cats and dogs and the majority have been from shelters or rescues so I have experience with all kinds of temperaments! I’m a college student so I have many large gaps in my weekly schedule that make it great for frequent daytime visits! I’m available for overnight boarding on weekends and occasionally on weekdays. I’m in an apartment but there is ample grassy area to take a dog out and about. I have three cats, all of which have been around dogs before. I’m also very close to many running trails and a nature area, great for long walks with lots of things to sniff!
“Camila helped us with dog walks twice daily. Camila was reliable and communicated daily with us after each walk about our dogs needs beyond a pee, poop & water break. There were a few days where I had to reschedule or adjust the times. Camila was flexible and adaptable in all of these situations. Camila was very respectful of our home and would remove her shoes & also clean up behind the dog around our home and yard. Camila really went above and beyond to care for our Colby. We highly recommend her!”
“Ms. Jamie is always so excellent with Bronx. He’s been with her for daycare once and then she’s taken him on plenty of walks. She’s very respectful of your needs as well as your dogs needs and Bronx absolutely adores her. She goes above and beyond for your pets as if they are her own. Wish we could use her all the time!”
“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!”
About: While I have not been an official pet care provider, I have owned and cared for 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. My schedule is very flexible, allowing me to provide consistent, attentive care. I have plenty of time to feed, walk, play with, and spend quality time with your pet every day. 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.
“Jason is an excellent dog care person. We’ve had two days in a row and are so pleased! Our dog is not easy, and Jason spent time helping him relax and teaching us some canine psychology! We will continue to utilize Jason.”
About: I have had pets my entire life and can't imagine my life without them! I have experience volunteering in animal shelters, caring for neighbor's pets, working at an animal boarding facility, and taking care of my own pets. I have cared for cats, dogs, fish, and lizards as family pets and currently have two rescue kitties! I have experience administering oral medication, to both cats and dogs, both in capsule form and through an inhaler. I am a graduate student with a remote job so my schedule is largely flexible! If you're looking for someone to get your pet some extra steps or just some extra pets, I would love to help you out! I can easily crate your pet if needed, work on basic commands, and can provide your pet with any extra love or care they may need. I will always ask for detailed instructions to ensure I am providing your pet with the best possible care!
“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!”
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.

“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!”
“Emily was fantastic with Luly! She arrived exactly on time, which was extremely appreciated, and kept me updated with pictures throughout the walk. Her patience and attentiveness made me feel confident that Luly was in great hands, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable dog walker.”
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.
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.

Abby was available with very short notice, less than 12 hours while we were in her town visiting family. Just had her do a qui Ck one time lunch walk for us. She communicated well, asked questions about our dog’s personality, checked in frequently, and shared pictures and videos with us. Excellent choice for our first time using Rover! 10/10 recommend her!
Joyce has been an absolute gift to both us and our dog. She is dependable, kind, attentive, and clearly loves what she does. From the very beginning, she took the time to understand our dog’s personality and needs, and it shows in every interaction. Joyce communicates well, is consistently reliable, and gives us real peace of mind knowing our dog is in such capable hands. Beyond simply walking dogs, she genuinely cares for the animals she works with, and that level of trust is hard to find. We highly recommend Joyce to anyone looking for a thoughtful, professional, and compassionate dog walker.
I can’t recommend this Mia enough! My dog has separation anxiety and have accidents frequently, and she has handled everything with so much patience, kindness, and understanding. She never made it feel like an inconvenience and truly went above and beyond to make sure my dog felt safe and cared for. What really stood out to me was the extra effort she put in, especially taking the time to clean up accidents even though it wasn’t her responsibility. That level of care and professionalism meant so much to me and gave me real peace of mind. She is reliable, communicative, and always sent updates that showed how attentive and compassionate she is. It’s clear she genuinely care about the dogs she works with. I highly recommend Mia to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring!!
Azure was absolutely amazing with Furgie! She sent the cutest photos throughout the walk, which truly made my day and gave me so much peace of mind. She was incredibly patient with him the first time she picked him up. Furgie was a little bit scared seeing someone new, but she took the time to calm him down, and it was clear from the beginning that Furgie really liked her and felt comfortable around her. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. I only wish she were available more often, but I know that is because she has classes, but any time Azure is available, I would 100% hire her again without thinking twice. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and attentive dog sitter! Thank you for leaving the Polaroid photos of Furgie. That’s so sweet of you. I loved it 😍💖
Damon is a top notch caretaker of my two big old boys. He is always on time when he picks them up for walks, he takes thorough notes about all their potty stops, he adds pictures and a summary of each walk. He really makes me feel close to my babies when I’m gone. I cannot recommend Damon highly enough for dog walks.
