“Melissa has been amazing to work with and has done a fantastic job with our puppy. We couldn't be happier with the service Melissa provides. Very professional, experienced, and easy to work with.”


“Melissa is fantastic. My little anxious dog is new to drop in visits while I'm gone, but Melissa showed her exactly the patience and kindness she needed to get comfortable. Olive treats her like a great friend every time she sees her now! I'd recommend Melissa to anyone without hesitation.”


About: I grew up with animals- my dad raised and bred dogs professionally, and my brother and I helped by taking care of puppies. We also had our house dog and I had cats. Since then, I have raised many dogs, cats, and bunnies. Currently my husband and I live by ourselves and travel a lot so we do not have our own pets, but I miss having animals around and would enjoy helping take care of others’ pets. We have a calm, clean, and happy home. We love animals so much, we are both vegan as well. Your pet will be in the best care! I work from home primarily, sometimes teaching yoga classes in the public space. I also do massage nearby occasionally. My husband is home most of the time as well. We care for pets just as we would our own. We walk regularly and live near a large park and river walk. We are very well organized, and have also taken care of our many children throughout our lives!

About: I have been taking care of all kinds of pets since I was 8. I have a German Shorthaired pointer now so I can definitely handle some high energy dogs. I have many other pets including a cat, Guinea pigs, some reptiles, and fish so I am ready for anything! I am currently going to school to be a veterinarian so you can imagine how much I love pets! I have taken care of plenty of pets owned by friends and family and I am excited to have the opportunity to take care of yours! I am currently out of school for the summer so I have plenty of free time to play with, walk, feed, and watch your pets! I can’t currently board pets but I am willing to do whatever is needed for your pets in your home! Just give me instructions and I can do just about anything!

About: Hello! I’m Angelica! I’m happy to meet you! Feel free to book me as I am willing to do almost anything to fulfill your pets needs and satisfy you as a customer. I do have experience as I have studied animal anatomy, am/have been a volunteer at near by animal rescues and shelters, and I have three dogs myself (two of which live with me and the third being a family dog)! I love animal and am always willing to learn something new and have plenty of references to help back up all this information! I prefer to do dog sitting in my home since I am able to have free access to emergency kits, constant walks and be able to do boarding at the same time as dog sitting. I have experienced in administering medications as my family dog has seizures and needs round the clock care. I will promise to shower your baby with attention and unconditional love! I am currently working 3rd shift and my partner works 1st. Due to this, there is always someone home with the pups who is able to take them out for potty breaks and spend time with them. I have a fenced in yard that is high enough to prevent any escape artists! I also have two friendly dogs who will be more than happy to run around with your pup and let off some energy!

About: Whether it be dogs, cats, horses, cows, or any animal in-between, I've been raised around animals all of my life. I've had a dog that I've cared for on my own since I was nine years old and couldn't imagine my life without one. With over 15 years of pet care experience, I'm more than comfortable handling your pet from the puppy/kitten stage to their golden senior years, and have experience with medication administration and special care attention. I currently have a three year old Australian Shepherd of my own, and so have no issue handling dogs with a stronger need for mental stimulation and exercise. Whether it be a simple check-in at the home, to a walk around the neighborhood, to taking your dog to the local park or joining me on a run, I'm happy to ensure that we keep your dog to the schedule he/she prefers at your comfort level! If you happen to have a feline friend instead, I have several years experience babysitting for the neighborhood and college friends' cats, and am more than happy to watch over your fur baby while you're away.

“Jamie is awesome! She took great care of out little golden doodle, Julep!! She walked Julep for us 3 times in one long, Notre Dame football game day!! Jamie also took time to stop by and meet us before sitting for Julep the next day!! We will definitely hire Jamie again!!”


“Thanks for taking care of Tango. He loves his walks.”


About: I have a gentle approach when it comes to pet care, Im extremely sensitive to their needs and prioritize their happiness. They won’t feel like they’re around someone new at all!! I have a full time job but pet care is my part time job and a personal joy. Incorporating pet care into my routine stabilizes and rejuvenates my schedule!! Since I offer housesitting, I can assure you that cleanliness is one of my utmost priorities and I can leave the home better than I found it! I’ve housesat many times in the past, so combining pet care with that is an easy addition.

“Heather does outstanding with my two girls! My littlest baby lupita who has always been very fearful of strangers absolutely loves her. She usually takes a while to warm up to new people but met heather the first day and loved her. My oldest girl Nana is a big love bug so she of course had to be all over her the first day she met her. Heather made the process of trusting someone other than myself to love and care for my babies as I would a very easy and stressless process. She accommodated all the special needs of my girls, checked in frequently, and answered any questions I had. She was very flexible with her schedule when a change of walking time was needed. I have nothing but good things to say about heather and could not have picked a better person to trust my baby girls with.”



“Abby was great! My little dog Maggie loved Abby from the first meeting. Abby sent me plenty of pictures of her walks with Maggie and was very easy to work with. Thanks Abby, see you again soon!”


About: Growing up, I have always had 2-3 dogs in our household, and have showed them the upmost love, care, and affection as possible. I have grown up with many Chocolate Labs as well as a Sheltie and a Havanese. I’ve worked with all ages, from puppy to 16 years old. My dogs have always been and still are viewed as family which is why, as a dog owner, I would want the most trustworthy, compassionate, and responsible person taking care of them. I can assure you that I will treat your dog the way they are supposed to be treated, as family. I am available after 12:30 PM in the afternoon to walk your dog, or check up on them so they have some company throughout the day! My times are pretty flexible, so please reach out if you need the times to be flexible. While taking care of a pet, I think it it’s important to make sure they are comfortable. Making sure their water is full, fed on time, depending on the dog, getting the right exercise, and of course giving the pet love and attention. I love to play fetch with dogs and take them on walks so they can get outside and enjoy the outdoors.

“Thanks! I really appreciate -”


About: Animals are everything to me. Everyday I work with animals, Im a trained vet assistant who is in school to be a vet tech. I have fostered both young and old. If anything were to happen to your pets I can take them into my work place and discuss treatment over the phone. I work full time but my husband and I have every good schedule on letting out dogs. I also have a job that allows me to clock out to let them out midday. My animals are normal fed 7-9 am and 6-8 pm. My house is baby proofed as some of my babies are too smart for their own good. But I do have cameras to be able to see them and alarm systems. All of my pets have been around fosters of all shapes and sizes so pets coming into my home need to be comfortable with that.


“I can't recommend Kim enough. She obviously loves dogs is very reliable and kept me informed often.”


About: I started dog sitting when I was 13 and housesitting unsupervised when I was 16 years old. I have watched dogs from all sizes and ages. Youngest being 2 years and the oldest being 14 years. Biggest dogs I have dog sat are dobberman/ german shepard, and the smallest have been around the size of yorki/ shitzu breeds. I am great with pets and love the cuddles. I am young so I am very active but do not mind being chill if that’s what the pet prefers. I am a full time college student at Holy cross College. I manage my time well and enjoy staying in on all days of the week. I don’t have a full time job so my hours are open and my schedule is set for each day. I personally do not own a home, but I love to clean and organize so I will never leave a mess or leave anything out of place. If anything, I will leave your house looking cleaner than you left it.

About: I have worked with animals in rescue for at least six years. Friends and family now rely on me to care for their fur babies. I prefer animals to humans most days! I’m home again. I will love your fur baby as my own! They will have as many potty breaks/play time outside as they would like. 😊 I have a fenced yard and I will love your babies just like you do! I love animals! I can not keep a cat; but would love to care for yours! Our babies are like our children!

“Took great care of my corgi puppy, Rudy! Very punctual and spend extra time with him playing after his walk. Followed all care instructions and couldn’t be happier! Thank you so much Lily!”


About: Ive never been able to have a dog of my own, so ive spent my time growing up caring for others. Ive been dog sitting since I was little. My first official job was at a dog hotel, I worked there for a little over 2 years! I also worked for a dog walking/ pet sitting company! I just moved back into town and have been looking for a job, my schedule is free other than classes I have mon-thu! I would be available for pet sitting any day of the week! I will follow directions provided for each service. I have years of experience and know how to handle any situation given to me to ensure the safety of your pet!

About: I love walking dogs and I make sure I have 2 water bottles for me and the dog(s) or cats. I’m a local, so I know all the hip spots where the dogs like to mingle. I can also care for sick pets and have experience with dogs having seizures and cats with diabetes. I’m willing to learn the proper way to care for your pet when they are in my care. If your pet has any special needs please inform me in full. I can currently only pet sit small dogs and cats in my current residence. A little info about me: I’m a local recent college grad involved in the artistic community around South Bend IN. I work for a local book store and have flexible hours. Mondays - Wednesdays my schedule is more giving. Thursday-Saturday, I am free after 3PM to care for your pet family. I work in the NN Neighborhood, so I’ll finish up at the book shop and can take your pets on a nice walk through the neighborhood. When I am home sitting for a pet parent, I’d like to know if the pets is on a specific schedule and if they are in need any medications. I spend time with the animals sitting outside in the yard or inside the home for pets who cannot handle outside weather conditions. If you have cats, I’ll make sure their litter box is clean when I leave and that all water and food bowls are filled.
