About: I’ve always loved being around animals and have plenty of hands-on experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I have three dogs of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pets. I’m comfortable with everything from energetic puppies to older dogs who need a little extra patience and attention. I treat every pet like they're my own and always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away! I’m currently a full-time college student studying Radiologic Technology from home, so I have a pretty flexible schedule throughout the week. Since my classes are online, I spend most of my time at home and can easily plan my day around caring for pets. This allows me to give them plenty of attention, playtime, and care throughout the day. I’m also available on weekends and happy to work with your schedule whenever possible! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I have three dogs of my own, so I know how important it is to have someone you trust looking after your pets. I always make sure they have fresh water, plenty of attention, and a safe, comfortable environment. When caring for pets in your home, I’ll follow your usual routines and any specific instructions you leave to help keep things as normal and stress-free as possible. I also understand how reassuring updates can be, so I’m happy to send pictures and messages while you're away!

About: Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I've been caring for pets since I was 10 years old and have completed multiple dog training courses with dogs my family and I have owned. I'm comfortable caring for puppies, senior pets, reactive dogs, and animals who may need a little extra patience or guidance. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I always strive to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. As a nurse, I'm detail-oriented, dependable, and comfortable administering medications and following specific care instructions. I can help with walks, runs, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, medication administration, and plenty of love and attention! My schedule is flexible while I pursue my next nursing position, allowing me to dedicate time and attention to your pets. I'd love the opportunity to meet your furry family members and give you peace of mind knowing they're in caring, capable hands! I recently moved back home from Colorado and am taking a little time to recharge before starting my next nursing chapter! I've been a nurse for five years and love caring for others, but I've always had a special soft spot for animals. I'm excited to spend some extra time caring for furry friends and giving them plenty of love and attention. My schedule is currently very flexible, and I'm available most days for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and cuddles. I'm happy to work with your pet's routine and provide attentive, reliable care while you're away! When caring for pets in their own home, I prioritize keeping them comfortable by maintaining their usual routines and following all instructions provided by their owners. I know pets feel most secure in familiar surroundings, so I take the time to get to know their individual personalities, needs, and preferences. I'm happy to help with feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, litter box cleaning, medication administration, and plenty of affection and companionship. I will always treat your home with respect and provide updates and photos so you can feel confident your furry family members are in good hands!

“Abby was awesome! She communicated and texted how things were going with the 3 pups, sent us pictures and played with them. The dogs had fun and we already booked her for the next two trips we have coming up! Absolutely recommend!”

About: I have been babysitting and pet sitting for 5+ years. I love animals and always have! I love running around with them, taking them to the park, throwing their ball, playing tug of war, etc. Animals are family and should be treated as such! I am prepared for puppies all the way to old aged dogs. I have been around dogs my entire life and as they have provided me with happiness I intend to always do the same back. I am available to meet the animals before hand and have a meeting so that we know we are a right fit! Don’t hesitate to ask about any extra things while your gone like watering the plants, cleaning, or running errands. Me and your dog will have an amazing time! I am currently a nurse so my schedule is constantly changing. I typically work three 12hr shifts during the week! I just wanted to add this to my weekly regimen because this is something I did before becoming a nurse and miss. I am excited to meet you and your pets! I will care for your babies the same way I care for mine - with love, patience, and playfulness. I can also do extra care such as watering plants!

“She was so amazing with my babies. Even worked around my scheduling conflicts!”

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 10 years old. My family owns many pets and has consistently relied on me to provide care for them. I trained my dog when he was a puppy and I am confident in handling medications for older pets as well, so I am comfortable working with a wide age range of animals. I am currently a college student looking for a summer job, so I would have plenty of time to care for your pets! I am available on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday after 4:30 p.m and any other day of the week at any time. I am absolutely open to multiple daily visits or even staying overnight if necessary. I will send updates throughout the day so you can rest assured your pup is well taken care of!

About: I have been a dog and/or cat owner my entire life. I believe our pets are family members and treat them as such. I have provided care for many different dog breeds, as well as cats, and am also experienced in giving medicine and administering shots. Let me share my love of animals with your precious pet(s)! I have done medical transcription for over 35 years and can do it from anywhere, so I am available 24/7 to care for your pet. I can care for your pet(s) in your home just as if you were there. I am also able to do any routine tasks required (take out trash bins, plant watering, lawn maintenance, or any other chores needed).

About: What sets me apart is the care and attention I bring to every pet. I don’t just love animals, I notice the small details, follow their routines closely, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their family is away. As a dedicated dog parent, I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages and energy levels, including senior dogs who need a slower pace and extra support, puppies who require consistent supervision and routine, and pets who need additional patience or reassurance in new environments. I’m comfortable administering oral and topical medications, following detailed care instructions, and maintaining specific feeding schedules, including pets with special diets or picky eating habits. I’m also used to managing multiple care needs at once, such as balancing walks, feeding routines, and medication timing for more than one pet in a household. I also know how important peace of mind is for pet owners, so I provide regular updates, photos, and clear communication throughout each stay or visit. For example, I make it a point to share how your pet is adjusting, how they’re eating, and any little personality moments that help you feel connected while you’re away. My goal is for your pets to feel relaxed, loved, and well cared for, like they’re on their own little vacation. 🥰 Since I am a student completing school online, I spend a lot of my time at home, which allows me to have a flexible schedule and dedicate plenty of attention to the pets in my care. I love being able to take breaks from studying to spend time with animals, whether that’s going for a walk, providing companionship, or keeping them on their normal routine while their owners are away. My own dogs are a big part of my daily life, so caring for animals already fits naturally into my routine. I understand that pets thrive on consistency, attention, and feeling comfortable in their own environment, and I’m happy to provide that extra love and care when you can’t be there. Animals are my passion, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. As a dedicated “helicopter dog parent,” I understand how important it is to feel confident and at ease when leaving your pets in someone else’s care. For dog walking, I ensure each walk is safe, enjoyable, and tailored to your dog’s needs—whether that means an energetic outing or a relaxed stroll with plenty of sniff time. I’m experienced with a range of personalities, leash behaviors, and special requirements. For in-home care, I maintain your pet’s normal routine and provide attentive, reliable care while you’re away. I have experience with both cats and dogs, including administering medications, following detailed instructions, and managing feeding schedules. I take time to understand each pet’s unique personality, preferences, and comfort needs.

About: Young professional who loves to spend time with dogs in my free time. My free time is usually spent at home watching movies and just relaxing. What better way to spend my free time than with man's best friend at home as well. New to the area so I enjoy the company of dogs. Growing up in rural Indiana I was always around dogs whether our own or neighbors. Enjoy getting out and taking walks in new areas to explore. Have lots of free time when not working and would love to spend my time getting to hang out with new furry friends. Dog walking is another way of exercise for myself for myself when I am not spending time at the local gym. A

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and have taken care of my own along with family and friend’s dogs. Able to work on training and take for regular walks. Currently working from home. Able to pay close attention to your pet and take on regular walks. Will ensure your pet has plenty of exercise and feels comfortable in our home. I have a large yard along with many walking trails in our neighborhood. Friendly family dog in the home. Able to care for pets and plants in their own home if preferred.

About: I have worked with dogs all of my life and have had many dogs of my own throughout my entire life. I dog sat many times for a family. They had two big dogs and were gone many weeks out of the year. I also have been to multiple dog training classes when I had my own dog attend. I feel as though I work well with animals and would love to care for your own. I hope you will consider me if your search. I have always been an animal lover and would make sure I treat your animals as my own. I would be a joy to be able to care tor your dogs. They definitely bring joy to my life. Thank you! I am working full time but am able to care for your animals and let them out during my lunch breaks, in the evening and any weekend you need. I have a routine and stick to that. I do not have any animals currently on my own. It would be the perfect place for them to feel comfortable. That is why I would love to spend time with your pets since currently I do not have love from them right now.

About: I participated in a veterinary career program and was involved in 4-H, where I gained hands-on experience caring for animals. I am currently working at a doggy daycare and training facility in Elkhart, where I help supervise, care for, and work with dogs in a group environment. I’m currently attending dog grooming school and will be in class from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. each day, focusing on grooming techniques and animal care. I am available before and after those hours. When I arrive at your home, I'll leash your dog for bathroom breaks, especially since we're just getting to know each other. This helps ensure they don't run off. If you have a secure fence, I won't need to use a leash. Plus, I'll send you daily videos and photos of your dog or cat while I'm caring for them!

About: Before I got my current 1.5yr old dog, I had a 17yr old beagle and a three legged dog. So I’ve definitely cared for needs of all kinds. I currently am working on my masters. I also have personal training clients. I set my own schedule, so taking care of your dog can usually fit into my schedule wherever you need it. I care for pets in your home or mine, whichever they are more comfortable. If you need me to let them out, walk, or stay with them… Just let me know.

About: I have been obsessed with dogs since I was little. Always wanting to have one, pet one, and just interact with one. I currently have a GSD, who is a handful, that I love dearly. I’m currently working 12 hour shifts with a rotating schedule. My available days change every week, but I know my schedule very far out in advance. I am very mindful of doors being closed all the way before and after taking your furry baby for a walk. Will provide them with water and treats before and after. I can also put them back into their crate before leaving if required.

“Shalissa is the best! She walks my girl three times a week and is such a huge help. She is always on time, always communicative, and always takes the cutest pics! My dog also took to her so quickly, even though she can often be timid. I am grateful to Shalissa for being so kind and reliable!”

About: I’ve been looking after my family’s, as well as my own animals for years. I can appropriately handle both higher and lower energy animals, as well as care for animals that need special attention. Two of my kittens have asthma so I’m good with around the clock medications when they are needed. I’m currently a freshman in college, I have a part time job with super flexible hours and work schedules. I don’t mind staying over or even dropping by every few hours if they don’t need 24 hour supervision. I am very capable of taking larger or even smaller dogs on walks if needed, or just keeping an eye on them in the yard. I don’t mind cleaning up after them as well. Most of the cats that I have are rescues and require taking medication so I do have experience with administering those when needed.
