House Sitting in Cedar Lake

About: Hi! I’m Sydney, and I have over 6 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities. I previously worked as a kennel attendant at a local animal shelter, where I was responsible for feeding, walking, cleaning, monitoring behavior, and ensuring the overall health and safety of the dogs in my care. I am experienced with senior and special needs dogs, including administering oral medications and carefully following detailed care instructions. I understand how important patience, consistency, and attention to detail are, especially for pets who need extra support. I’ve cared for puppies, high-energy dogs, anxious dogs, and pets with strict routines. My goal is always to keep your pet comfortable, safe, and on their normal schedule while you’re away. I treat every dog like my own and provide regular updates so you can feel confident and at ease! Pet care is my full-time focus, which allows me to dedicate consistent time and attention to every pet I care for. I structure my daily routine around feedings, walks, playtime, and any special care needs to ensure each pet receives reliable and attentive care. Because this is my primary job, I am able to be flexible, maintain consistent routines, and provide dependable updates while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I provide care exclusively in my clients’ homes so pets can remain in their familiar environment and routine. I understand that staying in their own space reduces stress and helps them feel safe and secure while you’re away. I carefully follow all care instructions, including feeding schedules, walks, medication, and any household rules. I am respectful of your home and maintain a clean, secure environment at all times. I ensure doors, gates, and crates are properly secured and prioritize your pet’s safety during walks and outdoor time. Clear communication is very important to me, and I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident and at ease while you’re away.

“I highly recommend Mackenzie!! She is very reliable and communicates with you before and during her stay. And sends lots of pictures. She stayed with my cat and took great care of him. And also fed my fish and kept house in nice condition.”

“Eli is the BEST! I had a lot of anxiety leaving my animals & he eased my mind greatly. He took the very best care of my crazy girl, Rayne & little sweety, Athena. I cannot thank him enough for the level understanding and care he put into being there for them(& myself lol)!! 10/10 recommend & will definitely request Eli for any further care. He listens to all of your wants/needs. Again, Eli is amazing & thank you so soo much!!! <3”

About: I have always cared for animals my whole life. I am a stay at home mama to a 1 year old that is trying to get out and see new animals! my schedule is very flexible. I am open majority of the day, the only time that I am not available is early morning 6 AM-8 AM. I am patient and willing to follow all requests asked. I have a very high maintenance dog- so I get all concerns! I just want to make clients happy!

“Alex was fabulous, highly recommend her! We didn't worry a bit about our dogs with her. She sent me pics of them daily. And she even sent my daughter pics of her "feeding" her fake fish. We will definitely be booking with her again!”

“I highly recommend Maddie. She watched my cats Julius and Junior for a week doing frequent drop ins through out the day. She send me pictures and kept open communication through out the week. I appreciated that!. She went above and beyond with their care, from basic needs cleaning little box, feeding twice a day, to wiping their eyes due to flat faces, play time and cuddles on the couch. I felt at ease the entire trip knowing my fur babies got exceptional care. She was professional, showed up as promised daily on time, locked doors and left everything in place as was. I will 100% be reaching back out for future trips to Maddie.”

About: Please take into consideration the quality of your pet sitter over a low rate inexperienced "pet lover" that just wants to watch animals . There's a difference. "RATES LISTED HERE ARE BASIC RATES- THEY MAY BE ADJUSTED ON A CASE BY CASE SCENARIO (UP OR DOWN) DEPENDING ON THAT ANIMALS PARTICULAR NEEDS" *******IMO- ANIMALS trump most people 😁 I Specialize in special needs animals & alternative ways to treat that aren't offered by most vets due to my life long experience , I know what works. I also am fond on taking care of any & all animals including horses and farm animals. Right down to guinea pigs n snakes of all kinds. If you need dog boarding, as long as I have notice I can make myself available & home 24/7 ** I work M-F daily, so any animal I can work into my schedule is a great fit. I cannot do daily letting out of dogs unless I have NOTICE (deposit required) I am open to ANY animal watched in my home if that is preferential. I can also "stay" in your home outside of my daily work schedule I'm in a huge farm house, large yard and except for weekly job am always home for one on one. Im extremely close to my local vet and have dealt with many different situations.

About: 🩷 I have been around dogs since I was very young! With that being said, I currently have one of my own and have watched many dogs and cats for friends and family! I absolutely love spending time with animals and making it a priority that they feel special and loved! Your animals will love me! 🩷 *SCHEDULE CHANGE* I am now working Monday-Friday 8AM-4:30PM. I am still available after work and all day on Saturdays & Sundays. Thank you so much! My dog is trained to stay in my yard and has free roam of the house. He is spoiled with treats, many toys, and so much love! I will provide your animals the careful attention they require to meet your unique demands.

About: I have many years of veterinary and pet sitting experience! I am always reliable and will love your pets like I love my own! Thank you Pet sitting is currently my main focus and career so I am flexible and able to accommodate you and your pets needs. I care for both cats and dogs! I offer walking, feeding, and play time, etc.. I currently won’t be offering over night stays but I plan to in the future if need.
