“Katie is great with our dogs! She is very kind and sweet. She is very quick to respond and send us picture and video updates. She worked great with our two crazy dogs who had to be kept separated due to behavior issues and she adapted to the situation very well. She has now watched our dogs twice & we will certainly ask her in the future! Highly recommend Katie!”

About: Peace of mind is priceless; I’m here to provide it for you and your pet. My beloved boys passed away a few years ago; it gives me great joy to care for your dogs while you are away. As a dog owner with 30 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and horses, I understand how important it is to create a loving, safe space while you're away. Previously, I owned and managed a horse boarding facility in Goshen for 15+ years, where I cared for up to 20 horses alongside countless dogs and cats. I work from home full-time, allowing me to provide dedicated, attentive care for your pet. Whether it’s snuggles, treats, or frequent walks and potty breaks, your furry friend will be well-loved and cared for as if they were my own. I’ve even been called a “dog whisperer” by some! I know how much your pet can miss you while you’re gone, and I’ll go above and beyond to keep them happy, healthy, and comforted. I’m reliable, trustworthy, and flexible—ready to accommodate any special requests, from frequent updates to ensuring your little buddy follows their usual routine. Having used Rover myself, I understand how important peace of mind is. Rest assured, I’ll treat your family member with the utmost care and follow all your instructions to the letter. Your pet is welcome on the furniture, on adventures, and in my heart. Thank you for trusting me with your beloved family member! 🐾 I work from home full-time, which allows me the flexibility to provide attentive care for your pet throughout the day. From morning walks and playtime to mid-day snuggles and evening potty breaks, I can easily integrate your pet's needs into my routine. I ensure they receive plenty of love, exercise, and attention while keeping their schedule consistent and comforting. Your pet’s happiness and well-being are my top priorities! I live in a quite, safe neighborhood where your pet will be able to have plenty on potty breaks and outside time for walks. I do work full time, however I’m able to come home on my lunch hour for a potty break for your pet.

“She’s super kind and was more than helpful. She went out of her way to make my dogs extra happy, comfortable, and loved.”


About: Hello everyone! I’m happy to be of service for you and your animals. I have many years of experience with dogs. I grew up with animals in my childhood home and am very comfortable with animals of all shapes, sizes, and ages. I have trained, raised and cared for several dogs myself. Daisy was a golden retriever, Zoe was my golden rough collie mutt, Molly was my 10-lb mutt, Charlie was my very sick mutt, Jess was my hyper husky blue heeler mutt, and now I have Frida. Frida is a sweet girl who loves to work. She is a border collie Australian Shepard mutt who came with me from ND. We are working on learning tricks and trying our hand at herding. Yes when I am with your dog we will work on basic obedience, manners, games, and tricks if you should like. I also have some experience with cats and would love more experience. I fostered a very sick kitten last year and have been around lots of friends’ and families’ cats. If there should be other animals that I have not worked with before, I would be happy to learn how to do so. And I would take my time to ensure I follow your care instructions thoroughly. Looking forward to helping you while you are away! Services in your home - you can rest assured knowing you have an extremely responsible and dependable person in your space. I will be respectful of your things and wishes. I will take extra care to follow your instructions precise Love, Erin and Frida 💕 I am currently working part time, so lots of time to watch your animals and love on them. I would love to be able to watch your pets full time. So I am working on filling up my calendar. Let’s see where this can take me. In my home I have a six foot fenced yard and a border collie policing the yard haha. I have one large wire kennel and one medium sized wire kennel that will house your dog should I need to run a quick errand. When I am in your home, I will be responsible and respectful. I will follow your house rules and keep your babies safe, loved, and cared for.

“Mary was an exceptional sitter for Meatball while we were at the Miami Open, bringing a special touch by including her well-behaved dog, Odin. This unique pairing was fantastic; Meatball not only enjoyed her company but also learned positive behaviors from Odin, showcasing Mary’s skill in fostering a great environment for pets to learn from each other. We appreciated the regular updates and photos from Mary, which highlighted the fun and educational interactions between Meatball and Odin. Mary’s understanding of dog behavior and her proactive approach to pet sitting went beyond our expectations, providing Meatball with both care and companionship. We highly recommend Mary for her thoughtful and enriching pet sitting services. Her ability to merge care with behavioral guidance through Odin’s exemplary behavior is truly commendable. Thanks Mary!”


About: We have a home where I have cared for and given a loving family to dogs and cats for years. We believe in a safe and playful environment for all animals upbringing. I only work part time and also work from home so I am able to pretty much dedicate all my attention to the animals when they need it. I have a fenced yard in my home where I can keep the pups stimulated with play time occasionally. If I have other dogs I'll make sure they get along but if need be separated. I mostly wfh and am trying to accommodate busy people by making last minute bookings so I'm pretty much available whenever it is convenient for you. In my home, I make sure to provide plenty of love and attention to all pets in my care. This includes feeding them on a regular schedule, providing access to fresh water, and giving them opportunities for exercise and play. I also make sure to keep the living space clean and comfortable for them. When providing services like house visits or house sitting, I follow the same routine as in my own home and also follow any specific instructions or guidelines provided by the pet's owner. If the pet is staying with me for an extended period of time, like during a boarding service, I also make sure to take them on regular walks and provide them with mental stimulation through activities. As mentioned, I have a fenced yard and able to put them on a playpen for their safety and comfort if necessary.
