Pet Sitting & Drop Ins In Council Oak

“Michelle was wonderful! She dropped in to feed & care for my Kitty while I was out of town for 10 days. First time I’ve left him alone with a “stranger” but he came out from hiding and took to her from day one! That’s never happened even with family members he has seen previously! Loved the daily message and photos. I highly recommend Michelle. She can be trusted to care for your special pet and goes above & beyond to report potential concerns with the house/property too ! She will definitely be my first choice for future trips!”

“We had a great experience with Emily! Emily was extremely respectful and conscientious and went above and beyond to make sure our cat was looked after!”

About: I have many years of experience with household animals, family/friends pets, and various types! I am fluid with service animals as well as with animals requiring special care needs! I am currently open to job opportunities and have a pretty flexible schedule for the foreseeable future. I currently have a 14 year old maltese boy Unless specified otherwise, feedings are routine and scheduled based. Any medicines that need to be administered are taken care of. I have a big backyard, unfenced but have space to let pets out and roam on a long leash.

About: In addition to our current two dogs and barn cats, we have taken care of family pets and have been trusted dog- and cat-sitters for friends and family since we were teenagers (probably a fair bit more than 10 years, but who's counting!). We are experienced with giving medications, special feeding needs, bathing, etc. We have a large, fully-fenced area of our property with lots of space to sniff and explore. We take walks around our neighborhood and the back of our property in addition to lots of running around the yard! Flexible work schedules mean we can care for pets during the week and on weekends! With any extra dogs, our yard becomes a fun dog park, so we would love to temporarily have your dog join the bunch! Our property has a large, fully-fenced yard (~0.25 acres), so it is an excellent place for dogs to run around and play. Our dogs are very friendly and love to play with other pets and humans. We know that many dogs have fine-tuned routines (feeding, walks, etc.), so we can always accommodate special requirements.

About: As a Notre Dame student and proud Maltipoo owner, I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I’ve also spent 4 years working at an animal shelter, where I gained hands-on experience caring for dogs with a wide range of needs and personalities. I’m patient, attentive, and truly love spending time with animals! As a full-time Notre Dame student, I’m primarily available for pet care on weekends. However, I do have some flexibility during weekdays depending on my class schedule and can often accommodate drop-ins, walks, or overnight stays with advance notice. I’m committed to being reliable and communicative so you always know your pet is in good hands. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize maintaining their normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, and household preferences. I treat every home with respect, by keeping it clean and exactly as I found it. I also provide regular updates so you can feel confident your pet and home are in good hands.

“We had a really good experience with Kylie taking care of both the cats. Both cats gelled with her, she made sure to share many pictures from every visit. Had a peace of mind, knowing they were in good hands. We will definitely approach her again if we get a chance.”

“Ashlee did a wonderful job watching our babies during Christmas weekend. You could tell they were well taken care of when we got home and she was very good sending photos and asking questions where needed even making sure the TV continued to play Christmas music for them while we were gone. Ashlee is a great communicator and you can tell that she does very well with dogs and dealing with nuances of the household such as our alarm. Thanks so much to Ashlee!!”

About: Growing up, I helped care for my family's dog and regularly pet sat for neighbors' cats and dogs. I now have a cat of my own, so I truly understand the love and responsibility that comes with caring for a pet. I know firsthand how stressful it can be to leave your fur baby behind for a work trip or vacation. I’m committed to giving every pet the attention and affection they need to keep their owners at ease. I recently graduated from graduate school and am enjoying a flexible schedule while waiting for my new role to begin this fall. In the meantime, I'm taking on a variety of work, which means I have plenty of availability to accommodate your pet care needs whether that's a regular daily walk, a last-minute drop-in, or an extended stay. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own, ensuring they stay in a secure, calm, and loving environment. I'm attentive, responsible, and always happy to send updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in great hands.

“Heather is great with animals and makes me feel comfortable and at ease when I am away from home. I would definitely recommend her and use her again in the future.”

Sharee C.

“Carmen has been fantastic! Our dogs love her. From the start, she did a great job listening to and understanding our concerns for our dogs' care when we aren't home. She keeps an eye on our new puppy, ensuring she doesn't get into trouble. Carmen is trustworthy and has shown great communication skills. We highly recommend her services.”

“Lily took great care of my kitten this week! I booked on short notice after she spent the weekend at the emergency vet. Would 100% recommend and I've already rebooked for the future :)”

About: I worked as a pet-sitter in the Goshen area during college. I have experience with older dogs and multi-pet households. I’m happy to keep as close to your regular schedule as possible. I’ve just graduated from UND with my MFA and I am looking for a little extra income as I adjust to life post graduate school. My days are totally flexible and I am happy to work around your preferred schedule. I’ve accommodated picky eaters and older pets dealing with incontinence. No matter what the situation is, I’m ready to dive right in and make your pet feel as comfortable as possible.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them comes naturally to me. I’ve worked with playful puppies, independent cats, and senior pets who need extra patience and attention. I love getting to know each pet’s personality—whether that means long walks, playtime, or quiet cuddles—and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. My goal is to make your pet feel like they’re with a friend, not just a sitter. Pet care is already part of my daily routine because I care for my own cat every day, from feeding and cleaning the litter box to playtime and making sure she feels loved and comfortable. Having my own pet has made me attentive to routines, behavior changes, and the small details that help animals feel safe and cared for. I also love spending time with dogs, whether that’s going on walks, playing, or giving them the attention and exercise they need. Caring for pets fits naturally into my routine because it’s something I genuinely enjoy and make time for every day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I follow feeding schedules, provide fresh water, clean up after them, and make sure they get the playtime, walks, or quiet companionship they need. I believe pets feel most secure in their own home because it’s their safe space, surrounded by familiar smells and routines. Being able to care for them in that environment helps build trust and creates a stronger, more positive relationship, making the experience less stressful for both the pet and the owner.

I just earned my degree in biomedical engineering and am interested in a side hustle doing something I love - caring for pets! I have experience caring for pets with different energy levels and needs, and I’m happy to provide walks, playtime, feeding, medication administration if needed, and plenty of attention and cuddles. I’m patient, responsible, and detail-oriented, so I’ll always follow your pet’s routine closely to keep them happy and stress-free. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in good hands! Pet care already plays a big part in my daily routine since I take care of my own cat every day, including special care and medications. My schedule is pretty flexible, so I have time for check-ins, feedings, playtime, cleaning litter boxes, giving meds if needed, and just spending quality time with pets. I care for pets in their own home where they’re most comfortable and relaxed. I’m very respectful of clients’ homes and always make sure doors, gates, and windows are secure. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is in good hands.

About: For as long as I can remember my life has always involved dogs. I grew up with four dogs in the household, a Rottweiler , a pitbull, Chihuahua, and a Chihuahua mix. Beauty, Daddy, Baby, and Beast. I would always play with him, feed them, train them, and be their best friend. I am always the person that my friends and family ask to babysit and walk their dogs! I have always worked with dogs and I couldn’t imagine doing anything else. I am currently attending college full time. However, my schedule is flexible and my classes are online. I will always make time to provide pet care services! Your furry friend will always feel and be safe in my home! I have an apartment, and I also have a cozy dog bed for your furry friend to relax in! 🐾

“Val was amazing! She did drop in visits for my dogs for about five days. On each visit she took pictures and updated me on the status of my dogs. I could see on their faces that they were having fun with Val. She even bought them some toys to play with. She was very attentive and responsible.”
