“Keagan was great with our dogs! Very communicative, reliable, and our dogs seemed to really like her right away. She sent photos and updates daily and was very flexible and responsive. Will definitely book her again!”


“Shadae was an excellent sitter. She sent multiple photos and updates each day. Our dog and cat seemed very comfortable and cuddly with her. We would absolutely hire her again.”


“Jaylin is a wonderful caregiver for our dogs. She took excellent care of them and communicated with us well throughout our trip. We will ask her to house sit again and would recommend her without reservation.”


“Katelyn did a great job watching our two dogs and cat over the weekend! We were thankful that she was able to watch them on short notice (few days in advance). Katelyn was thorough in ensuring she understood their care needs when we meet ahead of time and and throughout the visit. I definitely recommend Katelyn to anyone who is looking for a local pet sitter/walker!”


“We found Beth in a pinch on very short notice and she was wonderful. The 4 dogs loved her immediately. We have had a run of bad luck with dog sitters for a few years so very grateful to have found Beth. We are already planning to book her again next month😃.”


“This is the third time Sheree has taken care of my babies. One of the pups was recently diagnosed with Addison’s so he needed extra care (daily meds). I was a bit worried as his illness also makes him extremely successful to stress but Sheree took care of him without any problem. They both seemed extremely content and happy when I returned. I will def ask her to sit my babies in the future as well :)”


“Dan showed our pup a lot of love. He updated us with photos and followed instructions well. He will do the same for your furry friends!”


“Giovanni did a great job taking care of my two cats! Even my feisty loner cat seemed to enjoy his company. He was very communicative and sent plenty of pictures throughout his stay. The house was exactly as we left it, and he followed all our instructions perfectly! We would definitely book with Giovanni again if we weren’t moving!”


“Emma did a wonderful job! She was very thorough in giving our injured kitten all of his meds and following all of the instructions we left for her. She even sent us pictures throughout the evening!”



“We hired Teodora to housesit and take care of Baron, our English Setter for four nights and days. She was great! We were particularly concerned about Summer Thunderstorms as our dog suffers from severe anxiety...luckily there was nothing major, but she had no hesitations in dealing with this should it occur. She did administer calming aid in his food, as we instructed, if there was any chance for inclement weather. Our dog is also not the easiest to walk as he pulls and reacts to other dogs and bicycles that he may encounter along the walk. She apparently had no troubles walking him and was able to handle any distractions if they encountered them. She sent detailed updates, twice a day with pictures. One night, Baron must have heard something in the night and burrowed at the carpet in our basement. She sent us a picture of the destruction (we weren't surprised) and cleaned up the mess to a very reasonable degree, which we appreciated. My only concern, at first, was that she did not have a vehicle in case of an emergency, but we just lined up some near by emergency contacts if by chance she needed to get Baron to a Vet. We also assumed Uber would work too as a last resort. She did a couple extra household tasks that we requested, like watering our flowers outside so they didn't die during our trip. At the end of, what was a long time away from home for us, she left our house in very good condition and we would recommend her for pet and house sitting anytime. Thank you Teodora!”

“Ella went above and beyond in caring for our animals. Despite a miscommunication about the duration of pet care needed, she was incredibly accommodating and worked out a schedule that served us perfectly. We really appreciated her flexibility. We also had an issue with our garage door not opening, and Ella graciously went back and forth multiple times to check on the animals. Her commitment and kindness made all the difference. We highly recommend her!”


“Faith was amazing with my two dogs. Sent me pictures and updates along the way. I highly recommend her and will definitely use her in the future!”


“Keigan was able to take a last minute booking and we were grateful. Our puppers, Lilith, has seizures and has a strict medicine and feeding schedule. Keigan was able to give her medicine on time and keep her feelings on time. She sent updates throughout the day and even a few photos. We will def be using keigan for future getaways.”


“Jamie was great at taking care of my dogs. She was really good at communicating so I never worried about them. Will definitely be using her again.”


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.

“Rogue enjoyed his time with Kendall! We greatly appreciate how Kendall watched after Rogue for us and took special care of him in our home. It was a blessing to be able to keep his environment and schedule consistent during our trip. We will certainly be using Kendall in the future and do recommend her to look after your pet. Thank you Kendall!”


“Ruth did a lovely job taking care of our two dogs while we were on vacation and provided wonderful updates with photos. Our dogs were so happy and calm when we got home. Our home was also cleaner when we got home than when we left! Would highly recommend Ruth and will definitely rebook with her again!”


“I could not have asked for a better sitter for my 3 little ones. Reliable, kind, responsible and dedicated to my pets is the best thing someone can be when babysitting my dogs. Allison was all of these things and more. I will be asking her again anytime I’m looking for someone to watch my dogs. A+++”

About: I’ve grown up around all sorts of animals. I’ve had the pleasure of caring for dogs, cats, birds, turtles, mice, and chickens! No matter the size, I’m up for the job! When in doubt, just reach out! I work a part time job while also attending Purdue. I am mostly free in the late afternoons. I will update my schedule every now and again to make sure it reflects my availability appropriately! I approach pet sitting with the mindset of meeting a pet where they’re at. If a pet seems timid and anxious, I will allow them to warm up to me however they feel comfortable. I will not force any connections with pets, and rather meet them where they’re at in their comfort. It’s very hard for some pets to adjust to a new caregiver, so I like to give them space to warm up and come to me when the time is right. I think it’s very important to keep their care as consistent as when their owners are around! It’s hard enough having their owners out of the house, but hey lady my dinner is late! I like to make sure they still have consistency during these times to make things just that much easier.
