Emily and her little chihuahua stayed at our home for a week taking care of our dachshund and cat. She did a wonderful job with the animals and also took really good care of the house. I could hardly tell that she was here when we got back. We will definitely use her again!

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.

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.

Samantha was amazing with my babies! She would ensure that they got daily exercise either by taking them out for walks and even going to the dog park. I booked the service where she stayed in my home and the house was super clean when I got back. She fed my dogs on time and kept me up to date on what they were doing and I got plenty of pictures of them! I hope to book her again my dogs loved her!

About: I am an experienced animal lover, I have pets of my own as well as fostered lots of pets, and was a long term employee for the human society. I rescued all my cats. Family, friends, coworkers, and neighbors have allowed me to take care of their dogs while they are away. This is a true privilege since you know pets are a special part of our families. I am typically home in the evenings during the week and around and flexible on the weekends with enough prior notice. Since I have 2 dogs, 2 cats, a guinea pig and a hamster of my own I enjoy spending quality time with them whenever I can. I do work but pet care can fit into my schedule Monday - Friday early mornings, lunch breaks, and late afternoons. Saturdays and Sundays are open. I will be available to go to your home and care for your pets. I would not prefer to bring any pets to my own home as my pets are very territorial.

Ella took great care of our puppies, house-sitting while we were out of town. She fed/walked the dogs as requested and even brought in our mail, shoveled the snow in the driveway and took the garbage out before leaving! Truly a gem ✨

This was my first time using Rover and I have to admit I was nervous. Abby was fantastic! She took the time to come over and meet us and our pups before our scheduled trip. Abby kept in touch to let me know how our boys were doing. I could see by the end of the first day they felt safe with her. We came home and our pups were happy and obviously we'll cared for. Our house was just as we left it. I am so happy to have someone that we can trust with our fur babies. Abby's love of animals is obvious and natural. I would recommend her to anyone that asked. Thank you Abby 🥰🥰🥰🥰

I can’t recommend Meredith enough as a dog sitter! She is truly a natural when it comes to caring for pets and it’s clear she genuinely love animals. Meredith has taken care of my dog Josi and I feel completely at ease knowing my furry friend is in the best hands. If you’re looking for someone who is responsible, caring, and trustworthy, Meredithis the person to call. I’m so grateful to have found someone I can trust with my dog, and I know your pet will be just as lucky to spend time with her!

Our Micki took to Kimberly right away. Our dog can always recognize a fellow dog lover. We received many photos and videos while we were away, which made us feel really good. When we got home, Micki was happy and tired from having so much fun. Thank you Kimberly for treating our dog like the queen she is.

Lexi did a wonderful job watching our dogs! She was very nice, quick to respond, and sent plenty of photos of our dogs while she was spending time with them (I could tell they enjoyed her company as well). She was very tidy and left our home just as we left it. Would absolutely recommend her to anyone who needs a sitter!

About: I have always enjoyed spending my time with animals. I got my first dog when I was in elementary school - sadly he recently passed away - but since coming to college I have been missing my sweet fur baby. Being able to play with and care for someone else's pet while also earning extra cash would be an ideal job experience for me. Getting a new pet really isn’t an option for me right now. With all the free time on my hands, and I would love to get the chance to spend it walking and playing with your fur babies! In the past, I have dog sat for other friends and family and I really enjoyed it and having the extra company is always a plus!

About: I’ve always been around pets since I was little, whether it be dogs, cats, etc. I know how to care for them. I started doing Rover about 4 years ago, but had to stop due personal reasons and now I’m back on here. I have done multiple sittings before, so I can assure you I know what I’m doing and you will be pleased. I have worked with all types of dogs/cats. Pictures included in my profile: My own dog, some of the pets ( not all) that I have sat for, and pictures of myself. Just graduated from college a couple months ago. Still on the market for a job, so I am available every day of the week as of right now. Once I get a job, my schedule will change. I have a lot of experience with oral medication and shots with my own pets, so If you need that as well it won’t be a problem. I’ve had to crate my dogs before so I could do the same with yours if needed. I like to walk my dogs a lot and be very active with them, so if that’s what you need then i’m your guy.
