Pet Sitting in Burns Harbor

“Melanie went out of her way to come meet Olivia and us before her time to dog sit. She was flexible, communicated very well and did an excellent job. This was our first time to use Rover and we are hooked! Thank you!”

“Mark and Sharon are great, super nice, sent updates and the dogs warmed up to them very quickly! Would highly recommend if you need someone to check on your pups while you’re gone”

“Julie was an amazing sitter for our two cats, Harry and Marv. She was incredibly caring and diligent during her drop in visits, ensuring they were well fed, played with, and happy. Julie went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect, and we felt completely at ease knowing our cats were in good hands. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter!”

About: I've raised pets (dogs and cats) for most of my adult life and would love to care for yours while you're away! With me, your precious furry family members will get the love and care they deserve, and I'll stay in frequent contact with (texts/calls/pics) you about their care. I've been away or on vacation and employed pet sitters in the past, and I know how reassuring that frequent communication is! I am retired and have no strict obligations that would keep me from sticking to any care schedule you need. Over the course of my work life, I've adapted to about every time and day schedule possible - weekends/late nights/early mornings are no problem! I have a reliable two-year old car, and am very experienced using any modern technology necessary if anything unexpected happened (Google Maps/Hailing an Uber/Anything smartphone related, etc) I understand how important it is to meet your expectations regarding the care of your animals and I will do whatever it takes, and I will treat your home with the utmost respect.

“Sabrina did a great job dropping in on our girls. She fed them breakfast, gave them pets and let them out for potties. Our girls were happy and well cared for.”

“Lora went above and beyond this past visit and deservingly earned 5 stars. She checked in on Snoopy one extra time because she wasn't sure I made it back home from vacation and she even bought her Snoopy a new toy. Way to go and I can't wait to have her back to care for my pets.”

About: I have experiences with different breeds of dogs from Lhasa Apso to Great Danes! I’ve been trusted to watch and feed dogs for my neighbors, family friends, etc. for over 5 years and I’ve never met a dog I didn’t absolutely adore. I’m currently a student at the University of Dayton and am looking to earn some money to pay for my classes. I’m free every weekday after 12 pm, but want something more flexible than set hours as I still have to study for tests, do homework, etc. As I’m staying in University housing, I’m solely doing visits to client’s homes. I am a detail oriented person and will gain the trust of your pet before anything to ensure that they are comfortable with me being around. I will follow any directions given to me and will be transparent with any questions/concerns I may have about your pet.

About: I have two crazy fun Wheaten Terriers so I am experienced with high energy pups. Their ages are 8 and 11. I call him my sour patch pup, one minute he is the sweetest thing in the world and the next he is opening the fridge getting out a Tupperware (no clue how he learned that!) I have always had dogs and can't imagine life without our furry friends. I have a love and passion for animals so what better way to spend time and make some extra spending money?! I work Monday through Friday with flexibility for easier scheduling. Weekends are available for walking and drop in visits. If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask! My schedule is Monday through Friday with flexibility to be able to schedule dog walks and visits throughout the day. I can also do evenings/weekends. I will follow any instructions left for your pet and give them the best care possible. My dogs are crate trained so I am familiar with that process.

About: Having grown up with many different pets has made me very passionate about their care. I have worked in daycare, boarding, and am a certified dog grooming academy graduate. I am currently working as a dog groomer with a part time flexible schedule. My availability is most days anytime after 11am. Same day booking is okay as well. Treating others as you would like to be treated is my lifetime motto. Your fur babies will be given caring treatment as if they were my own.

About: I have my own puppy named Bella. I have had her since she was a puppy and she is now 15 years old! I also rescued a Japanese chin, Oreo, who has passed in 2023. I have taken care of many different dogs and cats for quite some time. Friends and family have relied on me to take care of their pets. Pet care doesn't feel like a job for me. It is more of an enjoyable hobby that is part of my daily routine. I do work a full time job during the week, 8 hours per day. If your pet is unable to be left alone for that time period, I may not be the best option for you. If you book during the weekend, I can promise you I will be home with your pet 24/7. I do not accept weekends if I can’t fulfill being with them the entire time. I have one spayed small quiet dog at my own home. She can easily be crated as need be and are quite adaptable to changes and new faces.

About: I have owned pets most of my life and enjoy spending time with them. I lost my elderly dogs this year after 14 years with them. At this point, I have not decided if I will own another pet again in the near future so I would love to spend some time with yours! I work during the day but live close and could come home for mid day walks if I am boarding. Or I can do short ins during the day. Otherwise, I am home in the evenings and weekends. I do live in a pet friendly community and enjoy taking long walks. I especially love playful pets with lots of energy! I have experience with mostly small and medium sized dogs. I have also had cats in the past and would consider boarding them or doing check ins.

About: I have extensive experience caring for a variety of pets, especially cats, and I bring a calm, attentive, and loving approach to every visit. From feeding and medication to playtime and companionship, I tailor each visit to meet the specific needs of every pet. As a lifelong animal lover and dedicated pet parent, I understand how important it is to maintain routines and create a stress, free environment while owners are away. Whether caring for energetic kittens, shy cats, or other small animals, I treat every pet like family. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because it aligns with what I already love doing, spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for, as well as caring for my three fur babies. I plan my schedule to allow plenty of time for visits, giving each pet the attention they need without feeling rushed. Whether it’s early morning feedings, midday check-ins, or evening cuddles, I enjoy building consistent routines that keep pets comfortable and owners reassured. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do, it’s part of how I live. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and routines, aiming to keep everything as familiar and consistent as possible for the pet. I follow detailed instructions, give updates to the owner, and make sure each visit includes essentials like feeding, playtime, and litter or potty breaks. I also keep an eye out for any changes in behavior or health. Whether in my home or theirs, I treat every pet like family, with love, patience, and dependable care.

About: I've grown up around cats and dogs my entire life. I have pet-sat for people, walked numerous dogs from the shelters, and even fostered shelter cats in my home. I am comfortable with all ages of pets and all sizes. I would love to be available for your needs all weekdays past 4pm. I do work full-time, but would be willing to do whatever I can to help you. I can care for your pets in your home whether it's walking, playing, feeding, or caring for them. I am okay with bathing and brushing the pet. Also okay with taking in the car with me if we go to the dog park.

“Keely was pleasant to communicate with, kept the house as clean and pets were happy so 👍👍 up. I'll be booking her again for my next out of town adventure, thnx Keely :)”
