“Abigail did several drop-in visits for me while I was on vacation. She came over to meet my pets a few days before I left. I felt at ease after meeting her and I could tell she was an animal lover. She did a great job following my pets’ routine and was always in time. During my vacation, one of my cats became ill. Abigail notified me right away and sent pictures of my cat’s eye. Abigail offered to take my cat to a vet and also called around to try to get an appt since I’m new to the area. I’m very grateful to Abigail for taking good care of my pets while I was away. I would definitely use her again!”


About: I’m known as the pet person with my family and friends. Anytime they have a question or they need help, they call me - I view it as a personal badge of honor. I’ve been around pets that are newborns to elderly, I’m prepared for it all! I’m currently enrolled in school and have very open availability. Mornings and evenings are completely free throughout the week, the only days that are restrictive are Monday’s and Wednesday’s when I have classes from 11-6. I will treat your home with the same respect as I do for my own. Your pet’s safety is my top priority no matter where we are. I am and always will be open to communication between you and I as well as your pet and I.

About: I am looking to pet sit a dog/cat on the regular each week. I go to school at Coastal Carolina University, making it hard to find a part time job with my schedule being kind of wacky while only being here for the summer. I own 2 cats and a dog and I’ve had animals all my life. I have always had a huge passion for them. I am actually going to college to become an aquatic vet. Making this my main job while i’m home over the summer is my goal, as well as providing the best care and experience for your pets. Animals have a huge impact on me and I really think they are such a special blessing in life I am home for the summer until August and am pretty much available anytime considering i’m trying to make this my main source of income while here! I am able to board animals in my home! We have a fenced yard and no young children. We have had animals our whole life so I am very used to raising/taking care of pets


About: I will treat your pet as if they are my own. I take pride in a job well done and want to leave you and your pet satisfied! I am currently working part-time, which gives me the flexibility to build my schedule around your pet care needs. Ideally I'd like to find a family to work with long-term. I will give your pet the care and attention they need, or to roam and stretch their legs. They will always be under a watchful eye.

About: I understand how important it is to have someone you trust with your pets, so I do my best to give them a fun, engaging experience. Whether it's a stroll around the neighborhood or cuddles and playtime, I treat every pet like my own. Services I Offer: Drop-in Visits: If you're away for a few hours or a few days, I’ll stop by to check on your pets, feed them, clean their litter box, and give them extra cuddles. I'm comfortable with cleaning messes and giving most medications. Dog Walking: I’ll make sure your pup gets their daily dose of exercise and fun. Whether they’re big or small, new or vintage, energetic or chill, I’ll adjust the walk to suit their needs. Cat Sitting: I’ll make sure your feline friend is well fed, entertained, and comfortable while you're away. I’m great at giving that purrrfect chin scratch! I’d love to meet you and your pets! Feel free to reach out if you have any questions, or if you’d like to set up a meet and greet. I work full time but I can do drop ins and walks around 7 am, 12 pm, and 5 pm on weekdays. I am available most weekends as needed. When I care for pets in my clients' homes, I make sure to treat the space like my own. I always stick to the established routines your pets are used to, from feeding times to playtime and naps. I ask you for details about your pet’s favorite activities, spots they like to hang out, and any quirks they may have so I can make sure they're comfortable and happy. I make sure to spend quality time with them, whether it's cuddling, playing, or just being there to keep them company. I understand how unsettling it can be for pets when their owners are away, so I prioritize offering reassurance and comfort. I always keep the house safe and secure for your pets, making sure they’re in a good environment. If there are any specific rules or boundaries you have (like keeping them out of certain rooms or areas), I follow them to the letter. Each pet is unique, so I’ll follow any special care instructions you give me, like specific feeding schedules, medication needs, or any preferences they have. If your pet has any special needs, I’m happy to provide extra attention to make them feel as comfortable as possible. I keep pet parents updated with photos and text updates during my visits. This way, you can rest easy knowing how your pets are doing. I always let you know if there’s anything unusual or important happening while I’m there, but I also want you to enjoy your time away without stress. I clean up after your pets, whether it’s cleaning litter boxes for cats or wiping down paws after walks. I make sure their living space stays clean and tidy, just like you’d expect. I’m there to make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and happy, and to keep your home exactly how you left it!

About: I have been watching dogs since I was a kid. I have a HUGE passion for animals. I treat my pup Apollo like my own child. Fenced in yard! Animals allowed access to house! Unlimited cuddles and potty breaks! Trust your pets with me for a stress free dog boarding experience. Going on a weekend adventure? Date night? Or maybe you just want to clean your house without worrying about watching your dogs. I’m the sitter for you. I work from home so I’m available 24/7! Fenced in yard! Lots of room to play! Toys everywhere! Dog walks twice a day! Another friendly dog to play with! Lots and lots of love! I work from home so I’m available 24/7 to watch your pets 🐶 No need to worry about your pet having enough potty breaks again! I have a fenced in yard and a 7 year old Weimaraner that your pet can play with all day! Apollo is our family and allowed access to the whole house.

About: I have taken care of multiple sizes and types of dogs since I was a child. We had a dog of our own at our house which I was responsible for walking and taking care of. I also used to take care of my uncle’s shih-tzu on weekends or overnight when I was in high school. Upon starting college, I volunteered frequently at shelters and volunteer organizations where I was able to spend time with all sorts of animals and continue being by dogs. I lived in Minneapolis for the last year and watched multiple large dogs as well as house sitting and drop in visits. I fell in love very quickly with this heart-centered business. I just moved back to Terre Haute and don’t yet have a dog of my own, and I would love to help out and spend time with all of your furry friends. I am currently a full-time student in medical school, but I am home most of the day studying. I believe walking is a hugely important part of a dog and a human’s routine. I love to be outside playing or exploring with my own dog and would love to share the adventure with your pet as well. I am also a lover of grooming meaning I can give a bath and clip nails, but I can’t say I’m the best with scissors. I love quality time with pets as well and will always provide respect and love towards the animal and YOU :) I am a full time medical student, but I spend most of my time at home studying. I am available most times and very flexible. I have a back yard and large side lot. The front of the home is not fenced in. I go on 3-4 walks a day with my furry friends and make sure to give lots of attention and cuddles.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs, cats, chickens, horses, cows, you name it my entire life. I’ve had small dogs such as chihuahuas and as big as English mastiffs. I’ve dealt with giving dogs medication and bathing for medical reasons. I’m currently working part time for a few hours a day. I will be home 90% of the day to be able to care for your pets! I have a five year old husky mix who is the sweetest baby. She follows me everywhere. She is crate trained and goes out without a leash. I would do whatever was needed to make sure your animal is in a safe environment and well taken care of.

About: Hi! My name is Desi. I want to tell you a little about myself so you know who is caring for your fur kids. It is my passion to work with dogs, cats and all creatures. My career started 20 years ago at a Humane Society who I was with for eight years. I worked as a vet assistant for several years and then went on to manage at a canine campus. Now I’m working for myself in caring for animals. I have worked with most medical conditions that dogs, carts and other creatures may have. I have experience with dogs who have special behavior or temperaments. If your animal has special needs or temperament, I have the time and patience to get to know your pets needs. I love all animals and have no discriminations. I look forward to meeting your fur baby(s) and building a wonderful friendship. My schedule varies so I’m open to discussing this information when I’m contacted in regards to the dates someone may need a pet sitter for. I house sit, I don’t do in home sitting in my house currently. But always ok with discussing further information. Iv done in home pet sitting for several years.

“I needed a drop in cat sitter as I can’t board one of them (vet says no more vaccines for him). Riley lived close and had a good review. I actually didn’t get to meet her and communicated by texts and notes. Was a little worried about having a stranger in my home but everything is fine and the cats seem to have been well cared for. Will use again if available next time I travel.”


About: I have always had dogs in my household as a child. As I have grown up, I have had a hard time being away from my dogs. I am currently a football player at Indiana State, so my mornings are usually taken. Most times after 1pm or noon I am usually available. I can easily crate a dog, and have indoor fences to protect dogs from getting near the front door. Very limited yard because it’s an apartment, but lots of room for walks.

About: Hello! My name is Anna and I am an absolute animal lover! I have two cats and one dog and I am smitten with them daily! I have a very home-based career where I can be there when I need to be or come to you. My kids are getting older and I am looking to fill my time with lots of cuddles and experiencing new pets in my home! I genuinely just enjoy them being here and am ready to sit for you! My schedule is very flexible so I always feed, water and walk my animals before I start work and all throughout the day we go on walks and hang out. I have a big privacy fenced in backyard where my animals can run and play safely. I spend a lot of time outdoors with them. My pets are a must every single day just like my children. Always fresh water and never without. My pets and your pets are always well maintained, fed, and cared for! They will be watched and returned to you safely. I have very happy animals in my home!

About: I have been around dogs my whole entire life from my family having them to me adopting dogs as well as taking them in when needed and saving them! I have my own dog named Trappy and he loves friends! I work a full time job Wednesday-Sunday until 4pm after that I am available as well as Monday and Tuesday all day. Sundays are excluded. Communication is key I can make arrangements! I do not have a yard so I have to walk my dog and I sometimes take him to the park as I will with your dog to run around as long as we can print out his shots to get his registered for the park!

About: I have worked with a variety of dogs of all breeds. I've worked as a trainer, I've worked with families on dog introductions to the family, getting dogs used to other dogs to release tension. Dogs are either friends or family so I believe you treat then as such. Love is all they need to get them to the best friend and dog they can be. We believe in positive reinforcements. Although I'm 25 I received my first dog on my 5th birthday. She was a rescue pitbull she was the best dog ever. Then later adopted a Rottweiler when I was 13. Both dogs bonded immediately and became best friends as well as being my best friends. I will make sure to treat your dog as my best friends as well showering them with love.

About: I’ve taken care of animals of all sizes and temperaments! I have a good sized back yard for dogs that is fenced in and plenty of toys! I currently work part-time and am available most days of the week! All of my kids are grown and out of the house, so my attention will be all on your pet! I have a fenced in yard and a friendly dog to keep yours company! I allow my dog on the furniture and have lots of toys she is willing to share!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and animals since I was 8. Typically I can work with/get along with any breed, I can do anything needed! Many of my neighbors and family members have relied on me to take care of their pets! I just got home for the summer so I have a lot of free time! That makes for plenty of time to care for and spend time with your animals! I am a very pet friendly person, I love getting to meet new animals! I will make sure to spend plenty of time with your pet to create a trustworthy bond! I plan to offer walking, as well as any type of client home care!

About: I have taken care of family pets my whole life. If family members or friends went out of town they would ask me to watch their pets. I worked in a vet's office for a few months and got very accustomed to being around animals that are not my own. I have given cats shots as well as administered oral medications. I currently am a bar manager so I would be able to care for your pet before 10 AM and after 5 PM Monday-Wednesday. Friday and Saturday would be anytime before 4 PM and after 1 AM. I want pets to have their own great experience when their owners leave. I want them to be well-walked and have plenty of time to run and work off their energy. I like to try and keep them as close to their normal routine as possible.

“Alanna was really professional and did w really good job with scrappy. Showed up on time and went above and beyond what was asked of her. I would definitely recommend her to anyone needed services on here.. shes one of my dogs new sitters for sure.”
