House Sitting in Cedar Lake

“Emily did great with our two dogs. This is the first time we chose to have a dog sitter stay in our house and we do not regret it. Communication was great and she made our two dogs feel very loved with the unlimited pets she gave them. She also did great by going out of her way to clean up around the house.”

About: I have had multiple dogs since I was little and get along with all shapes and sizes. I used to go door-to-door and no matter if it was a random dog or strays, that dog and me were becoming besties. I work from home Monday-Friday, so if you have internet, I can work there or I can just drop in. My schedule is pretty flexible, but I just need to know in advance. I can care for the pet in any way that you ask- bathing, food, potty breaks, walks, etc. I am pretty flexible with what kind of care is needed.

“Kumar was amazing. Very young and took a huge responsibility of watching my babies for an emergency trip to Texas. He came even though I did not have a long time for the trip. Watched and took care of my art babies! Very much worth going on rover for. I could have kenneled them but they have anxiety. Boi, had the worst anxiety and constantly whines. But he had no issues and that gave me peace of mind and soul! If we ever need to go anywhere, he will be the first person I call thru rover! Thank you!”

“Sarah was great! My dogs loved her, she was kind and friendly and cleaned up after herself. Highly recommend!”

About: Ever since being a young little girl, I have cared for dogs and they have a special place in my heart. I grew up with a yellow lab and took great care of her. As an adult I am the go-to pet sitter for my family and friends. I have watched small family farm taking care of goats, horses, dogs, and outdoor cats too. I have more experience with mid to older dogs than puppies, but I have also helped take care of puppies too. I am currently searching for a full-time position; therefore, I have flexibility for during the day for potty breaks or walks, evening care, and overnight stay at your house. I am unfortunately renting currently and have a no pet policy so I cannot board at this time. Your pet is to be treated like my own. I follow the owners lead but I love playtime, indoor or outdoor, walks by leash and harness, and cuddles and loves. I only give treats if that is what the household wants. I wish to keep the routine as similar to what the animal is used to.

About: I’m the kind of person who gets excited every time I see a dog and I’ve been caring for them most of my life! I’ve had my own pups and have been dog sitting for family and friends since 8th grade. Every dog I meet gets the love, attention, and snuggles they deserve. I currently work 2 part time jobs. Caring for your furry friend, on their schedule, will fit perfectly into my schedule! I have a rotating nights schedule so I have every other weekend off with only 2 nights during the week! In my home, my animals are treated like family, I’d love to do the same for yours! I am great at following their schedule and listening to their needs because I believe they deserve care like you never left!

About: As a seasoned Chihuahua mom and experienced dog fosterer, I have cared for over 30+ Chihuahuas (four being my own) and have been passionate about their well-being since I adopted my first Chihuahua at 19. I have a deep understanding of their unique personalities and needs, and I am confident in my ability to provide exceptional care for your furry friends. Is your pet anxious? Do they need their food bowl held while they eat? Do they prefer it heated up with a lil sprinkle of parmesan? I know a thing or two because I've seen a thing or two. My work schedule is flexible, so I'm around more than I'm not. If you choose to board while I am working, your pet will be safely secure in your chosen method (crate, play yard, bathroom etc). All come with access to food, water and a potty pad as well as any lovies or toys. Vacationers have the option to mingle with the locals or stay in their own gated suite. Meals are based on each pup's personal preferences. Hand fed, heated up, and a sprinkle of parmesan cheese are just some of the perks that come with staying at Aunt Shelli's AirBnB

“This was a great experience! Betsy was easy to work with, made herself available for a meet and greet prior to booking, and was very flexible with our changing plans. She provided status updates along with pictures, and made us feel comfortable that the dogs and our house were in good hands. We will definitely work with Betsy again in the future!”

“Brandi was amazing! This was the first time I've used Rover, and the first time I've had someone house sit at all. She was timely, very communicative, responded quickly, and sent pictures and updates frequently. I recommend Brandi to anyone looking for pet sitting or other pet hospitality needs. I will be booking with her again.”

“Leaving home is never easy. Leaving your pets at home is even more difficult. Luckily I was able to find Genesis who provided me with not only pet care but the peace of mind to know that I can travel without concern. Highly recommend if I’m not using her first!!!”

“Aliya took great care of our dogs and our home. Highly recommend her. She followed my directions with care and communicated with me while I was gone.”

“Shayla is a true animal lover and we were more than happy to have chose her to watch our pets(: She sent us pictures daily and the animals were obviously well taken care of when we arrived back home from vacay. I would definitely recommend her and I would very likely hire her again if possible.”

About: I have worked in a kennel for two years. It has given me valuable skills on how to work with dogs and understand them better. I am a student athlete and a double major so I am a little busy! However I’ll always be able to make time for pets. I will most likely be available middle of the day. It will most likely range from each pet. Each animal needs a different type of love. I would ask about your dog and want to know what they like and don’t like, so I can make sure they are happy.

“Lilly was wonderful and treated our pets like her own! She filled in on short notice so we could shamelessly attend a family wedding out of state. She was a great communicator and sent pictures regularly. We would highly recommend her in the future.”

“Cher took wonderful care of our pets while we were away this weekend!”

About: I have cared for dogs ever since I was a young teen! I have been chosen by neighbors, family friends, and others to dog sit while away, walk their dogs, and play with them! I have two amazing cats and currently live in a household with six animals, my two cats and four dogs and I truly love every second of it. It’s always been a passion of mine to care for animals. I’m currently working in obtaining my degrees to become a wildlife biologist so I can truly put that passion to good use! Caring for your pets in your own home, I will be respectful, responsible, and considerate of your home and belongings. I will make sure your dogs and/or cats have the best time ever, showering them with lots of love and playtime and even quiet company if that’s preferred. If walking and rough-housing is in the plan, I will make sure your fur baby gets all that extra energy out.

About: I am a veterinary technician that has tons of experience in care of animals. Including puppy, kitten, adult, and seniors. The care and safety of animals is my goal! I have Fridays and weekends off, and absolutely love animals! I strive to work with them as much as possible and to help make a difference for busy pet owners! :) My pets are offered endless play time with enrichment activities at home! I tend to their needs and they have a strict special diet that they are required with strict amounts.

About: What sets me apart is my deep, lifelong connection with animals. I’ve raised cats and dogs in my home for over 15 years, giving me real-world experience that goes beyond basic pet care. I understand their needs, personalities, and how to make them feel safe and loved. I treat every pet like family, offering reliable, personalized care that gives pet parents true peace of mind. Pet care fits naturally into my daily life—I’m home often, with a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets consistent attention, care, and companionship. I’ve raised animals in my home for over 15 years, so caring for pets is part of my routine. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playing, or just quiet company, I truly enjoy every moment spent with animals. Pet care isn’t a chore for me—it’s something I love and make time for every day. I care for animals in my home as if they were my own—providing a safe, calm, and loving environment where they feel comfortable and secure. Whether it’s my home or the client’s, I focus on creating a routine that meets each pet’s unique needs—feeding, playtime, walks, or just companionship. With years of hands-on experience, I know how to make pets feel at ease, even in new surroundings. Their happiness and well-being are always my top priority.

About: I have taken care of cats my entire life at my own home & my grandma’s home. I have also dog sat over weekends many times at peoples houses. I currently only have one class M/W and two classes T/TH, so I have a lot of free time in my hands to make sure your pet is getting the attention and love they deserve! We have a fairly large backyard area that could be great for going potty, and an unused fenced in soccer field across the street for more free play time!

About: My name is Sammie, I have been involved in animal welfare for 5 years (shelter jobs/rescue) and have worked with all kinds of temperaments and have done some training/fostering and dog bathing/medical care! I love all animals and don't mind excited dogs jumping all over me. I have 3 medium/large dogs of my own, and a cat. I have experience with all kinds of species though! I am currently unemployed so my schedule is very flexible! Willing to negotiate prices. Feel free to ask any questions! I look forward to meeting your fur babies! Thanks! Working in shelters and fostering animals made animal care something that I am very serious and passionate about so spending the majority of my day caring for animals is something I am very comfortable and confident doing. It usually varies on the specific pet. I make sure to have owners leave me a feeding instructions and a list of their expectations for their pets care along with rules I’m expected to follow.
