House Sitting in Dune Acres

“Lauren is absolutely phenomenal! I don’t leave my dog with too many people - she’s my baby (and quite particular/quirky about things) She went above and beyond with Nova. Her communication was wonderful, she sent photos and reassuring messages letting me know how their day/evening was, and she was friendly!!! Good vibes immediately and felt completely at ease leaving my dog in her care. Can’t say enough good things!! 💛🐕”

“Emily was great with Daisy she was patient with her and gave me updates. My ole gal has her own schedule and Emily was great to understand it. Will definitely be calling her back if we need a sitter!”

“Shelby was perfect with our dogs. Kept us well informed and up to date. Our three Great Danes warmed up to her right away and treated her like one of the family right away. Highly recommend using Shelby if you need a sitter, especially if you need in house overnight.”

“We couldn’t be happier with our experience! Alexia went above and beyond to make sure Cinco was comfortable, loved, and well taken care of. Communication was excellent, and it gave us total peace of mind while we were away. We will definitely be using her again!”

“Lilliana took such great care of our pups and cat! We got so many pictures while we were gone. She kept them active the whole time!! We will definitely be in touch for future needs!!”

“I always feel that my dog is well taken care of when we have Mary in the house. I get the best pictures! Having Mary has opened my husband and I up for more travel. We are so happy we found her!”

About: Hi, I’m Sabrina! I have over 7 years of experience with animals, including time in vet clinics, zoos, and dog daycares. I also did vet assisting for 7 years. I now focus on training, pet sitting, and spending time with animals full-time. I train my Cane Corso in various dog sports using a fair and positive balanced training approach that builds trust, structure, and confidence. I also have chickens, a cat, and a snake — so I’m comfortable with all kinds of pets! Your animals will be safe, loved, and well-cared for with me. I treat every pet like my own and believe play and connection are just as important as routine care. Let me know how I can help! I care for my animals daily—feeding my chickens, handling my snake, and cuddling my cat. I train and do dog sports with my two dogs every day, keeping them active and happy outdoors. I bring the same love, routine, and attention to every pet I care for. I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort when caring for pets, whether in my home or yours. I have a laid-back Cane Corso and a young, energetic hunting prospect GSP, so I’m experienced balancing calm time with fun, engaging activities like scent work. I tailor care to each pet’s needs, providing gentle attention, plenty of exercise, and a secure environment where they feel safe and loved.

About: I have had a pet of some kind throughout my whole life. Whether it be my large, goofy Labradors, my small but mighty Chihuahua, or my lovable yet mischievous cats, I have experience with animals of all shapes, sizes, and abilities and I can assure you your animals would be in good hands under my care. My schedule for this summer is completely open as of now, so my availability is wide open! During the academic year, I attend school full time and work part time so my hours are more limited but I am happy to work with you to make sure our needs align. I will follow your pet’s normal routine to the best of my ability, making sure they feel comfortable and loved while you are away. I will maintain a safe and clean environment while respecting your home and promise to provide routine updates about your pet.

About: Although I am a cat mom of two, I also have deep care and compassion for dogs of all kinds! Since I was 16 years old, I have volunteered on and off at my local humane society, giving care to all animals. Care including: ensuring all dishes and laundry are fresh and clean, cleaning cages, feeding, as well as giving love & attention to each cat and dog! I also have had the honor of caring after my neighbors dog for about a year. This care included: taking him on walks and playing with him every 2-3 hours, feeding him, as well as giving plenty of love and pets! I’m currently working part-time, so I will have plenty of quality time to spend with your furry friend! During the week/weekends, I do not have a set work schedule, however I am flexible to work around my start and end times! If needed, I am able to easily crate your dog, I am able to take any precautions of care, as well as take upon requests that your fur baby may need during his/her time with me.

“Samantha was amazing! She was very professional and my dogs immediately took to her. I have never had someone watch my dogs at our house and I was very nervous but she put my mind at ease and I will definitely be using her for future bookings!”

“Addison worked with me through everything which was very reassuring. She did an amazing job with Bambi!”

About: I have owned and pet sit cats and dogs for about me entire life. This is about the only time in my life where I have not owned any and there is something missing. Hoping to fill it with some one elses cats/dogs. I work from home alone from 8-5, during this time the animals will never be alone and will get plenty of potty breaks. They will get morning and evening walks if desired, I have a 8 year old son who will be home evenings and weekends, and a 1 year old baby who will have the same scehdule. There is a fenced in back yard that is 1/2 an acer. There is also a fresh creek where we can take walks. Walks will be 2x a day for dogs. Plenty of room in the house and dogs can go anywhere they want. Cats will be given space if wanted, and a quiet place to sleep and relax.

“Rob watched our two pets on a long weekend and was great. We love a lot of communication - and he kept us posted and sent us many pictures. Very professional and our pets loved him. We would definitely recommend!”

“Kimberly did an exceptional job. The house was clean when we got home and better yet our babies were happy and healthy! This was our first dealing with Kimberly, but it certainly will not be our last. Thank you for photos, your attention to medications, etc. You live up to all your wonderful reviews and then some!”

About: I enjoy taking care of a variety of pets, and have helped care for many over the years. I have experience from everything as small as hamsters up to horses. I currently have dogs, cats, ferrets, and a horse. Many friends and family have relied on me for advice or to care for their pets. I’m available most days any time after 8am for pet sitting or dog walks! I can also do multiple drop in visits throughout the day! Normally at home I feed the dogs dinner, my mother does breakfast! I also take them out for walks around the yard. In your home I would do whatever is asked, and clean up any messes made.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and genuinely enjoy caring for them. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me for years to check in on, feed, walk, and spend time with their pets while they’re away. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and have experience with larger breeds like Golden Retrievers, German Shepherds, and Leonbergers, so I’m confident handling bigger dogs as well. I’m patient, attentive, and make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are gone. My schedule is pretty flexible right now, so I’m able to do drop-ins, walks, and check-ins throughout the week. I’m reliable about sticking to feeding schedules, potty breaks, and making sure pets get attention and playtime while their owners are away. I always try to keep pets comfortable in their normal routine and environment. I follow the owner’s instructions closely for feeding, walks, medications, or anything specific the pet needs. I’m patient with animals and make sure they feel safe, calm, and well cared for while their family is gone.

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!

“Racheal is the best dog sitter! We love her!”

“We just had our first experience with Chloee. We are very pleased. She is very responsive and easy going. She arrived on time and kept us up to date while we were away. We came home to happy dogs and that’s all we could hope for. We will use her again for sure.”

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.
