Allison did a great job with our dogs! She had great communication, sent us photos so we knew they were having fun, and kept us informed. We will definitely book with her again in the future and would recommend her to others for their dogs.

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!

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.

Tessa took great care of our cat Tigger, attending to his feeding schedule and his insulin shots to maintain his health. She also sent us photos of Tigger so we could see how well he was doing with her. She stayed at our home and left it in great shape for our return. She was charming and interesting to talk to as well. You can’t go wrong with trusting her in your home!

We are so extremely pleased with the petsitting services Kyra provided while staying overnight to care for our 11 year old 60 lb lab mix Macy who had surgery three weeks prior. Kyra is so very kind and wonderful with our dog and she administered Macy’s daily arthritis meds. I know Macy misses Kyra already and so do I. Do not hesitate to have Kyra assist with your house and petsitting needs. She’s wonderful and we highly recommend her!

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 :)

About: I've cared for my family pets for over 8 years! I have always loved animals and I am passionate about their care. I have a lot of experience with cats and dogs. I have also volunteered for many years at a cat shelter! I watch over my sister's cats by scooping their litter and providing abundant love to them. I also care for my dad's dogs when I visit him by feeding them on schedule and walking them in a timely manner. I am available to check in on pets or let them out and feed them as needed! I care for pets by understanding how they react to me and others, and caring for them without overbearing them while taking into account their needs.

Camila was amazing with our pup! Our dog is not the easiest as she is reactive and has particular triggers. But Camila was able to accommodate all of our needs and knows how to manage those triggers. She was super communicative and gave us peace of mind in caring for our home and dog. She was attentive, sweet, and made sure to give quality care with everything. I would recommend her to anyone looking for care for their pet!

About: I love animals and I’ve been around them most of my life! I have a dog of my own that I’ve had for 11 years, so I’m very familiar with their behaviors and how to take care of them! Pet care fits into my daily routine as I am currently studying Wildlife Biology and minoring in Aquatic Science at Purdue University. I believe this will be the perfect opportunity to get me started in my animal career! I live in town so it’s perfect to take your dog on a walk whenever they need to go outside! I do have a crate if needed and I have a small dog of my own that I’m sure your dog would love the company. Also, I’m willing to take care of your pet at your home so whatever routines you have to take care of your pet I will follow! I love taking pictures of my pets, so I can definitely take some of your animals too.

About: I grew up with many pets so I am no stranger to pet care. In recent years, I frequently pet sit for friends and family and would love to spend my free time keeping your pet company I work part time but currently have a flexible schedule. I am available weekends and weekdays. I’m often available, just need to schedule in advance. I can care for pets by following their normal routines, provide plenty of attention, engaging in their regular exercise, and help keep pets comfortable in their own homes and providing feedings.

We loved Ruth! She was a great house sitter and pet sitter! We appreciated her quick responses and flexibility. She was great with our dog. He seemed happy and well taken care of the entire time. She not only left our house clean and neat, but she took the initiative and did some things without being asked, like bringing the trash can in the garage after trash pick up and taking the bed sheets off and placing them in the laundry room. We hope to have her back!!

As always, Allison did an amazing job house sitting for our 5 needy cats. It is a great sign to come home and the cats don't act like they missed us. I know they got lots of love and were well taken care of. We've had several sitters and Allison is always above the gold standard. Caring for the cats and keeping the house in a reasonable state is the expectation. But not only are the cats obviously loved, the house is usually in a better state than when we left. She went above and beyond washing bedding, vacuuming, doing final litter and water changing, etc before leaving. It is great after a long day of travel to not immediately need to spend an hour or two cleaning.
