About: Hello! My name is Nadine and I am a 26 year old opera singer in training. Outside of music, animals are my passion. My dog and cat are the lights of my life. My best friend and pet bunny of 6 years just passed away, leaving me freer than ever to focus on pet sitting! I helped train my dog from when he was a puppy, and helped raise my cat from kittenhood. My dog has high anxiety and I understand the challenges of caring for a nervous or reactive pup. I also litter trained my rabbit, and we enjoyed traveling across the country to my university together! I hope to hear from you, and would love to meet your furry friends! I’m a full time college student but free all summer to pet sit! My schedule is very open, please reach out to me - I’d love to help! I am happy to follow all instructions you give me for your precious pets, and I am happy to just spend time with them and be in their company as well!
“Sierra has been nothing but amazing! We came across her profile, asked a few questions and scheduled a meet & greet. She was so warm and welcoming when we met her, felt like we had known her for years. We knew that night, we wanted her to care for our girl. She’s come twice now and has provided great communication and photos. She even showed love to our fifteen year old senior boy while at our home which melted our heart because she didn’t have too but she did. She even looked past his crusty beard and old man growl. We’re excited to continue having Sierra walk our pup twice a week and look forward to having her provide care for any future vacations.”

About: I’m the kind of sitter who loves your pets like family—because to me, they are. I’ve cared for animals of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, and I’m always learning more about their behavior so I can give them the best, most thoughtful care. I’m patient, playful, and love building trust with each animal I meet. When I’m babysitting, once the kid is in bed, I usually end up curled up with the family pet (not saying who I like more—that wouldn’t be fair). And if I ever disappear at someone’s house, you can bet I’ve found the pet and made a new best friend. Whether it’s walks, snuggles, structure, or quiet company, I’m here to make your pet feel safe, loved, and completely at home. I’m currently an athletic training student at Valparaiso University and doing an internship over the summer, but my schedule is pretty flexible. I’m often able to work around short-notice requests or odd hours, so don’t hesitate to reach out—even if it looks like I’m booked or unavailable. I’ll always do my best to make it work for you and your pets! Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for your pets. I’m probably someone who does a little too much research to make sure every detail is right—whether it’s proper walking manners, keeping pets safe in different temperatures, or understanding the best foods and treats for their health. I want you to feel confident that your furry family member is in knowledgeable, caring hands and that their environment is always secure, comfortable, and loving.
About: I have grown up with three german shepherds as well as have a lot of experience in caring for pitbulls, labs, etc. I love dogs of all sizes and temperaments and am comfortable with knowing how to take full care of them. I currently work part-time, but would love to take care of pets whenever I have the time! On my days off I am able to stay with the pets and on days I work I am still wanting to do drop-ins, have playtime, and go on walks! If the pet needs to have certain rules such as staying in the fence, being crated, etc. I am able to do so while still caring for your pet!
About: Hi, I’m Rexton — I’ve been caring for animals for over a decade, starting with my childhood dogs and now raising a cat of my own. Pets have always been a steady part of my life, and over the years I’ve had the privilege of walking, sitting, and bonding with all kinds of animals — especially shy or senior pets who need a little extra care. During college, I was the go-to pet sitter for my friends whenever they were away, and I always treated their animals like my own. I have hands-on experience with elderly dogs, including giving medication and helping manage mobility issues with patience and empathy. I’ve also spent a lot of time around more sensitive or anxious pets and know how to build trust at their pace. To me, pets are more than just companions — they’re the kind of friends you can always lean on. Every animal has a unique personality, and once you’ve earned their trust, there’s something truly special about the bond that forms. I’ll take the time to get to know what your pet loves (and what they don’t!), so you can feel confident they’re in good hands while you’re away. I’m currently preparing for Law School, but will have plenty of time outside of my class schedule to attend to your pets needs. Typically, the early mornings and mid-afternoons will be my most accessible times. I offer drop-in service to my clients homes. I know allowing a stranger into your home can be a scary process. I guarantee to respect both the boundaries of your household along with the attentiveness that your pet needs while you’re away.
About: I’ve owned multiple dogs my whole life. Frequently cared for neighbors’ and friends’ pets when they went out of town. Milo (our dog) has had many dogs visit and loves playing with and hosting other dogs! We’re both PhD students, and at least one of us is always at home. We go on multiple walks a day and are always available for our dogs. We have a fenced in backyard for easy potty breaks and outdoor play. Our dog is very friendly and playing with dogs is his favorite activity. We also have a crate if crating is needed.
About: I took care of my own dog for about 10 years. After she unfortunately passed away due to old age, I craved to be around dogs again and began dog sitting for friends and family with one of my best friends. Through this I have walked, fed, played with, etc many different dog types and breeds. In the summers I watch over many dogs as their families go away for weekends and vacations. I would like to continue this as the school year starts up. I am a college student, but only have 2 classes a day and can be with your furry friends for quite awhile and give them lots of attention if need be. I will respectfully follow any rules you have for your furry friends. Whether that is to stay within a fenced area, keep them crated, let them roam free, whatever it may be. I know all dogs are different and I will respect whatever the owner’s rules are for their pet.
