OUR MISSION
At Paws+Claws Indy, our mission is to provide exceptional home and pet sitting services from the comfort of your own home that you can rely on! We are dedicated to ensuring the utmost care and comfort for your pets in their familiar environment while you are away, offering peace of mind and personalized attention. Our expertise includes caring for pets with medical needs, elder care, and managing reactivity, ensuring all pets receive the specialized care they deserve.
Beyond our commitment to quality service, we are passionate about giving back to our community. That’s why we proudly donate a portion of our proceeds to local rescues, supporting their efforts to provide loving homes and care for animals in need. Any shelter pet that has been adopted into your family will also receive 20% off their first booking as our way of celebrating their gotcha day!
Through our work, we strive to make a positive impact on both our clients and the animals we help support, fostering a community of compassion, trust, and care.
