“Sierra was great my dog got along with her dog very well and she updated me throughout my trip and was very responsive definitely would trust her watching my dog again”


“Alyssa was awesome! She was super understanding even when we were a little late picking up our fur-baby. She was very communitive and sent pictures as this was the first time he was watched by anyone. She had a clean home and plenty of room for him to play. Very very happy with our experience I definitely recommend her! 10/10 will ask her to watch him again in the near future.”


“Leslie is the greatest! My Buffy girl is safe and has a lot of fun when she is with her. I’m thankful to have found someone to care for my pet when I can’t, especially since I just moved back to the area.”


“Jennie kept our 14 year old dog over Spring Break and we absolutely loved her! She pays attention to detail and good with dogs. Our dog isn’t a social dog, so I was concerned with her getting a long with Jennie’s dogs. When we picked our dog up she was happy running around with her dogs as if she was part of the pack! I highly recommend Jennie!”


“Giovanni took great care of Mackey while I was away. He stayed in my home and left everything exactly as he found it. I got updates each day and could tell Mackey was having a wonderful time. Giovanni is extremely respectful and you can tell he loves animals. I would highly recommend him if you need someone to care for your fur baby!”


“Hannah was amazing with tucker! we could tell that he was well taken cared of and having a great time! she sent so many pictures which we absolutely loved! will definitely be sending tucker back to hangout with all his new friends!”


About: I’m experienced with bathing and grooming both dogs and cats, and I’m very patient throughout the process. I’ve also cared for shy or nervous pets, including feral cats and dogs with separation anxiety. I provide a calm, clean environment and pay close attention to what each pet needs to feel safe and comfortable. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to care for pets during the day. I can provide day care and longer stays depending on your needs. When caring for pets, I follow all instructions closely and make sure they are in a calm and safe space. I am respectful of you and your pets needs and provide regular updates so you know how your pet is doing.

“This experience was wonderful for both my dog and I. I have never left him before and he had a great time. Emily is an awesome dog sitter. She sent me pictures every day. She has two of the sweetest little boys that Augie enjoyed playing with and also a small dog of her own. After the first picture arrived I was able to enjoy my vacation. He was glad to see me but I’m sure he’s going to miss Emily and the boys. I was very happy with her care and will use her again when I need to. I would highly recommend her to keep your dog and feel comfortable about leaving it there.”


About: As a current veterinary student, I’ve had a passion for animal care for as long as I can remember. I began working at a veterinary clinic in 2016 where my job was essentially to look after the patients from feeding, administering medications, potty breaks, and keeping them clean. I began pet sitting both dogs and cats that same year. My experience includes senior pets, pets with medical needs, and puppies. I look forward to being able to provide your pet with care you can trust. I typically work 3-4 days out of the week. I’m happy to host your pets on weekends and weekdays that I am not working. My availability should be marked accordingly, but please reach out if you’re interesting in boarding on a day marked as “Unavailable” so we can discuss your needs further. Our home is on a quiet street and has a privacy fence enclosing a decently-sized yard. We have 2 friendly and active dogs, a Labrador retriever and Golden retriever, that are both crate-trained. They have both socialized with numerous dogs, but can be kept separate from boarded dogs if needed. Our home is puppy-proofed to avoid unintentional ingestion of food, medications, or other objects. There are no children in our home, just me and my husband. We do have 2 cats, but they prefer to hang out in the cat room which will be closed off when we have guests. We have additional cages and kennels for your dogs if that is part of their typical routine. Medications can be given while dogs are being boarded if needed.

About: I have watched finches, bunnies, cats, fish, dogs, raised puppies, raised a herd of guinea pigs, and love every experience with animals. I am not shy! I am currently working part time and have extra time on my hands. I have the long weekends open for your animals. The whole week for drop in visits. I have my own animals, but I would love to drop in to care for your animals. I can spend the day with your animal, walk your doggies, any special needs I got you covered, and I am ready to spoil your special friend.

About: Hello! I am Mia, a PhD student at Purdue University studying astrobiology. I have always had a passion for animals and have been a WAG/Rover walker and sitter for 6 years. As a kid I would beg my parents for a dog, and never got one, but I believe that is what keeps me constantly entertained by them! I became the neighborhood "petsitter" in my early high school years and have taken care of pets ranging from dogs to parrots. Along with that I was a collegiate cross country runner so I could walk your dogs for as long as they want, I wont get tired! Flexible, I am a student and a researcher so my availability can vary but for the most part I can be pretty flexible and do work on my own schedule I prefer to dog sit at my clients home because I have a small apartment with no backyard and I’m near a very busy street:)

About: I am a dog lover since I knew about dogs. I have 3 dogs in total (all of them are Shih Tzus). I have been taking care of dogs for the past 2 years and have ample experience in walking, feeding, bathing, and handling a dog. I am a student at Purdue and since my classes are a hybrid style I have ample time to take care of my furry friends. I have 3 Shih Tzus in total ( 2 with my parents and 1 at Purdue). I take care of them be it feeding, walking, or bathing. I love dogs and they mean the world to me.

“Tiffani is always great with Panda. This is the 3rd time he's stayed with her and I wouldn't want anyone else watching my dog. She's always very accommodating and glad she was available!”


“Hojoo and her family were so sweet! I am so glad I chose them. Her profile was exactly what I needed for my fur baby for a quick business trip. She treated Tito like family and he didn’t want to leave! So happy to have him make new friends!”


About: I’ve taken care all sorts of animals ever since I was a kid. I also showed goats in 4- H for ten years. I graduated high school in 2024 and during high school I volunteered many hours at the Clinton County Humane Society. In June of 2024 I started pet sitting for local families. Since then I have helped take care of many families furry friends including common house pets such as Dogs, Cats, and even Kinkajous! I am currently trying to branch out and make pet care my main job. Which means my availability is usually always open! Don’t be scared to reach out and ask! BOARDING IN MY HOME: I live with my parents out in the country with two dogs in my home and one cat. I have several rooms, gates, and crates that can be used so my pets never come in contact with yours if that is preferred! There are 9 acres of total land for plenty of exercise, 2 of those acres are fenced off and occupied by two friendly dairy goats and chickens! While you go on vacation so will your furry friend/s !

“Karly is amazing! She took such good care of our animals and we had a LOT going on: a dog, guinea pigs, high maintenance finches, and rabbits, including baby rabbits (we were breeding them at the time). I highly recommend her. She's a lovely person on top of being an excellent caretaker of animals.”

Pet owners know she cares, and will ask for her specifically as a return walker. Mia has a positive rating on WAG website. She has a positive demeanor, and is liked by all. :)”
