“Alexis does a great job for me. She’s very conscientious. Both my dogs like her from what I could see in the pictures that she sends me and she does extra things with the dogs. Doing some obedience training with my younger dog. When I first started using Rover, I just expected her to let the dogs out so they could go to the bathroom. She does more than I expected would highly recommend her.”

“Hannah helped us out on Christmas evening when we were going to be away from our house for 12 hrs.

She communicate well and responded in a timely manner when we first were setting up the visit with her. We will definitely use Hannah again and absolutely recommend her services!

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.

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 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 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: I’ve been around dogs my whole life I helped raise my parents dog, a four year-old Australian Shepherd named Eddy. I’ve dog sit and watched family and friends dogs, majority of my life. I really enjoy getting exercise and spending quality time with other peoples dogs, being able to socialize with them, play with them and get as much joy from them as I can. Im free in the afternoons Monday- Sunday. Also evenings my schedule is flexible. I live in Chesterton dune land area. I’m a animal lover but dogs are my favorite animals in general. I’ve got experience with many different breeds. From behavioral training - teaching dogs how to do tricks. From bathing and waking running swimming, I’ve got experience working with aggressive rescue to watching multiple dogs. I’m eager to help them no matter what the situation calls for. Thanks -Kyle. I’m currently working part time so I have extra time to earn extra income doing something I really love. It’s truly a dream job for me. I helped rise my parents 4 year old Australian Shepherd, i trained my dog to stay in the proximity of the yard when he was six months old he does not need a leash when we go on walks he stays by my side or within 100 yards. I’m very fortunate that I trained him early on at a young age so he knows the perimeter of the yard. He’ll also sit an watch the other neighborhood. Dogs play. He does not go into the their yards. He just sits at the perimeter of my yard and watches them play This is one something I’m extremely proud of.

“Vanessa was amazing with Ellie! She made sure she had good walks and took time to play ball with her. Vanessa is very friendly, professional, and responsive. She took the time to meet her beforehand to make sure Ellie was comfortable. We enjoyed reading about Ellie’s time with Vanessa and loved seeing our fur baby in some pictures! This was our first time leaving her in the care of another in our home and Ellie seemed happier and more comfortable than boarding or being left with family members. Highly recommend!”


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.
