In-Home Pet Sitting, Midday Potty Breaks & Nail Trims in St. John, Indiana

There’s a reason St. John has been ranked one of the safest communities in Indiana — this is a town that takes care of its own. With over 25 parks, Wiggly Field Dog Park on Hedwig Drive, miles of bike and walking trails winding through quiet neighborhoods, and a community that shows up for everything from Freedom Fest at Heartland Park to summer concerts at Lake Hills Park, St. John is the kind of place where families put down roots and stay. And for a lot of those families, the pets are just as much a part of the picture as the kids.

The Pet Parlor provides professional in-home pet care to families throughout St. John. When you’re heading out of town, working long hours, or just need someone reliable to let your dog out during the day, we come to your home and take care of everything. Your pets stay in their own space, with their own routine, and with a sitter they know and trust. No kennels. No strangers from an app. Just the same familiar face, every time.

After every single visit, we send you multiple photos — clean litter boxes, full food bowls, fresh water, and your pet playing, walking, or just lounging around at home. You see everything that happened. Whether you’re sitting at your desk or sitting on a beach, you’ll know your pet is happy.
And it’s not just dogs and cats. From Tort the turtle to every feathered, scaly, and furry family member in St. John — if it’s a pet, we know how to take care of it.

From the Prairie West neighborhood to Larimer Park, from Wiggly Field to Lake Hills to Heartland — if you’re in St. John, we’re here for you and your pets. Go Eagles.

Our Services in St. John

Vacation & Travel Pet Sitting

Whether you’re flying out for a week or driving up to Michigan for the weekend, we’ll take care of everything back home. Your sitter visits your St. John home as many times per day as your pets need — feeding, fresh water, medications, litter boxes, potty breaks, plus the house stuff: mail, lights, plants, garbage bins. After every visit, we send you photos so you can actually relax and enjoy your trip. Most dogs need 3–4 visits per day. Cats are usually comfortable with 1–2.

Starting at $30/visit for one pet. Multi-pet discounts available.

Midday Potty Breaks for Working Pet Parents

St. John is full of dog-loving families — you can see it every weekend at Wiggly Field Dog Park. But during the workweek, a lot of those dogs are home alone while both parents are at the office. If that’s you, a midday potty break changes the game. Your sitter comes to your home on a set schedule, lets your dog out, gives them real love and attention, and sends you photos so you know everything’s handled. It’s the same sitters, same time you choose, every single day — your dog starts waiting at the door because they know exactly who’s coming and when.

Starting at $30/visit for one pet. Multi-pet discounts available.

In-Home Nail Trimming & Smoothing

No loading your pet in the car, no driving across town, no sitting in a waiting room. We come right to your St. John home and handle your pet’s nails where they’re calm and comfortable. It’s faster, less stressful, and so much easier — especially for pets who don’t do well with car rides or unfamiliar places.

Nail trimming: $31/pet (multi-pet discount available). Nail smoothing: $41/pet.

Overnight Stays

When your pet needs someone there all night, one of our sitters stays in your St. John home. Your pet gets to sleep in their own bed, stick to their own routine, and have a familiar, trusted person right there with them. No strange kennel, no disruption — just home. This service is offered based on sitter availability.

$125/night.

What Our Clients Say

The best part is getting a daily photo of her so I know she’s being well cared for in my absence.
LeeAnn Egan

We love The Per Parlor! Judy has been so good to our puppy, Winnie and has made us feel so much better when we aren’t able to be home with her! They are so easy to communicate with and are able to fit us in their schedule quickly! Our puppy loves when the ladies come over to play and we love the pictures and updates we get from them during each visit! I highly recommend them for watching your fur baby!
