“Darcie took fantastic care of all our animals while we were gone. It was my first time using a house sitter so I was a little nervous, but I had nothing to worry about. They came over ahead of time and did a meet and greet so the dogs were comfortable with them and followed all our instructions. I highly recommend Darcie if you’re looking for a house sitter.”

“Natalie was so great! I didn’t have to worry for a second that my dog wasn’t being taken care of. Very kind and obviously cared to make sure everything was going okay. The best, will book again!!! 💖”

“We absolutely loved having Madeline watch our two pups while we were on vacation! I am guilty of leaving too many instructions sometimes, and she made me feel at ease before and during our time away. She also cleaned the house, washed all linens, and left the house in perfect shape. We’d be honored to have her as a sitter again!”

“I would describe our pets and home as high maintenance. Our dog loves to play all of her waking hours and our cat needs to be fed about 5x / day. In addition, we asked Lucas to water some plants, collect mail etc. He handled everything and sent us updates and pictures. When we returned home the house was clean and everything looked great. We have asked Lucas to pet and house sit for us several times and would be happy to ask again.”

“Emily did such a wonderful job with our dogs! She sent pictures and kept us updated the entire time. They seemed so content and happy to be able to stay home and our house was clean, maybe even cleaner when we returned. We will definitely rebook with her again!!”

About: Growing up with an Australian Shepherd Blue Heeler mix (Buddy), I loved teaching him new tricks, going for walks, and playing enriching games that helped get his energy out. My parents added a Chiweenie (Joey) to the family a couple years ago, so now when I visit I love to walk them both, give Buddy back massages, and snuggle little lap dog Joey. I often dog/house sit for my parents; being in their home environment seems to be most comfortable for the pups. Aside from dogs, I graduated from IU Bloomington in 2021, have switched careers from management and sales to healthcare, and now work for a local school system. I am looking for something fun, active, and outdoors for the summer - what better activity than dog walking/sitting?! I cannot wait to connect and meet your furry family. I am currently working full time, but will soon have the summer off to help care for your pups! My current schedule varies, but I am available some evenings and weekends. Send me a message and I will get back to you ASAP! I will ensure to adhere to any dog schedules/routines, send regular photo/text updates upon client request, and to care for your dogs like my own. I will do everything in my power to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. You can expect frequent and thorough communication - don’t be afraid to leave detailed lists/notes of exactly how you want your dog cared for. I will do my best to mimic how you care for your pet to ease any distress and make your absence as enjoyable as possible for them.
About: I have worked at a dog boarding facility in the past, as well as pet sitting! I have experience giving medication and with special diets. I am comfortable with younger pets up to senior pets! I am responsible and responsive! I currently have a full time job Monday-Thursday, so I am looking for pet care work Friday-Sunday! There is an option to provide morning walks every day of the week. I will be very respectful of your home and space while caring for your pet. I don’t offer pet care in my home, because I have a cat.
“We had a great experience with Jordan. He was not intimidated by the energy of our two rambunctious boxers, and he gladly handled any behavior issues that arose while they were in his care. He took wonderful care of our home and did the things we asked like get the mail and take the trash to the road for pickup. Jordan was responsive whenever I checked in and he took the time to provide thorough updates. We highly recommend Jordan and hope to use his services again in the future!”

“Cal was absolutely amazing! He watched our two dogs for two days over Thanksgiving and treated them like they were his own. He sent frequent updates, photos, and check-ins so we always knew how they were doing, which gave us so much peace of mind. Our pups were clearly comfortable, happy, and well cared for. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will definitely be booking with Cal again. Highly recommend!”

I make pet care a daily priority playing, caring, and keeping their space clean. Whether it’s exercise, medication, or cuddles, I’m fully focused on their health and happiness every day. Whether at my home or yours, I create a safe, loving space tailored to each pet. I follow routines, provide care and playtime, administer medication if needed, and keep everything clean and comfortable.
About: Growing up I lived on a farm. I had pigs, chickens, rabbits, ducks, dogs and cats. I have always had a love for animals of any kind. I’m currently a stay at home mom. With that being said I would be able to take care of your pet at any hour through out the day. I have a fenced in yard at my house because I have 2 dogs of my own. If I were to come to your house to take care of your dog, I would be sure to take the dog out on a leash so that the dog doesn’t run off.

Alison was a five-star caretaker for my canine companion, Finnegan. She was kind, gentle, and attentive to his needs. In making initial arrangements, she responded instantly to all my text messages and was flexible and very accommodating to my own shifting plans. I have complete confidence in her and recommend her whole-heartedly. I had an excellent experience!
