Pet Sitting Edgewater

“Mariah was great with our dog! Our dog gets nervous sometimes with new people but she was very patient with her and make our dog very comfortable! She took many pictures and gave great updates. Would definitely use her services again.”

“Was very nervous about leaving my pets with an unknown person. Day 1 of meeting Lydia and introducing her to Sweetie and Lil Shit, my worries went away. Sweetie took to Lydia right away. When she came to get key before we left, Sweetie was so happy to see her again. Lil Shit is a cat, and has no opinion, lol! Will book her again”

“I have never used Rover before and so this was a large leap of faith for me to let someone watch my pets for 5 days. Janelle proved to be diligent in sending me updates everyday, and went above and beyond to provide for my fur babies. One of my kitties ate all the food left in her automatic feeder (knocked it over ugh) and they were not going to have enough food to last until we came back, so she went to the store and picked up more food for them!! I would recommend Janelle every time and will be using her again in the future for services 💕🥰 Thanks again!!”

“She was great. Took great care of my dog and was very communicative. Highly recommend!”

About: I've had pets since I was a kid and I'm a huge animal lover — the go-to person for pet care among family and friends. I currently have three cats of my own, so I'm very comfortable in multi-cat households — reading their individual personalities, sticking to feeding schedules, and keeping stress low when routines change. My biggest test was house-sitting for a neighbor for a full week, managing 4 dogs and 3 cats at once — juggling different feeding times and exercise needs without missing a beat. I'm calm under pressure, detail-oriented with instructions, and treat every home with respect and care as if it were my own. I work full-time (9–5), so I'm available for in-home visits, dog walking, and in-home overnight care before work, after work, and all weekend. I'm also an early riser, so morning visits work well too. I'm flexible and can accommodate most feeding, play, or walk schedules around my job. I live in an apartment set up specifically with cats in mind — window perches, a self-cleaning litter box, and a wall-mounted cat jungle gym with climbing shelves and hideaways. My own cat Milo also enjoys supervised leash walks outside, so I'm comfortable and experienced with that if your cat is leash-trained too. Your pet's safety and comfort always come first, whether that means sticking closely to their routine or just giving them space to settle in. While cats are my specialty, I also have real dog experience — I've taken dogs outside to play in open spaces, and I know how to walk them confidently and keep them engaged. I once house-sat for a neighbor for a full week, caring for 4 dogs and 3 cats together. I'm also not afraid to set boundaries when needed, so your dog gets both playtime and structure.

About: My family always had a pet dog. As a kid I would feed and walk dogs in the neighborhood while they were out of town. As I grew older I would stay at family or friend's homes if they went out of town. I'm in search of a similar situation in South Bend - dog walking and light housework included! Weekdays I can stop in and let the dog(s) out for bathroom breaks. On weekends/evenings I can stay at your home so that the dog is familiar and will make myself available 100% during that time. I prefer to stay or drop in to my client's home. I find that the dog is more familiar/comfortable this way too. I am happy to do a test run so that everyone feels comfortable/familiar!

“Excellent service super sweet loved the check in photos definitely book again !!”

About: I'm a dedicated animal lover, I specialize in drop-in visits for dogs and cats, as well as dog walking services. My mission is to give your pets the exact care, exercise, and affection they need while you are away. My Experience: When I’m not pet sitting, I volunteer regularly at the local Humane Society. My time there involves walking shelter dogs of all sizes, as well as socialization and playtime with the cats. What I Offer: Dog Walking: Fun, safe neighborhood walks tailored to your dog’s energy level and pace. Drop-In Visits: Fresh food and water, potty breaks, litter box scooping, and plenty of focused playtime or cuddles.I am extremely reliable, safety-conscious, and ready to send you plenty of photo updates during every visit! My Schedule: I work a full-time remote job from home. During the week I am available for short drop in visits at lunch time and available anytime after 4pm for longer visits and walks. I'm available anytime on the weekends. I work a full-time job and can fit in short check in visits during the week at lunch time. I'm available during the week after 4 PM for longer visits and dog walking. I can feed, walk, and play with your fur baby making sure that they get plenty of attention and love while I'm there. I will make sure your pet has plenty of mental stimulation to avoid boredom.

About: I’m a lifelong dog dad who’s raised everything from tiny puppies to wild, energetic corgis and a sweet Aussie doodle. My wife and I currently have both, so I’m very used to high-energy breeds, stubborn personalities, and dogs who need structure, patience, and plenty of play. I’ve also cared for our senior dog through physical therapy, mobility support, and daily medication management, so I’m comfortable with dogs who need extra attention or special routines. Over the years, I’ve trained multiple dogs to behave reliably off‑leash, and I take pride in helping dogs feel confident, safe, and understood. I’m home full‑time right now, supporting my wife’s business and caring for our own pups, which means I’m flexible, responsible, and able to give your dog the kind of consistent, attentive care that makes them feel right at home. I’m also happy to care for cats with the same patience and attention I give dogs. We have two cats of our own with completely different personalities, so I’m comfortable with shy, independent cats as well as social, curious ones. I understand their routines, boundaries, and quirks, and I make sure they feel safe, respected, and cared for while you’re away. I’m home full‑time right now, caring for our dogs and supporting my wife’s business, so my schedule is very flexible throughout the day. I just ask for at least a day’s notice so I can plan around our home routine, but once scheduled, I’m able to give your pets consistent attention and care. Even though I’m home most of the time, I can be out for a couple of hours when needed, and I’m comfortable coordinating visits, walks, or drop‑ins around that. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for while keeping communication clear and easy. Your pet’s safety is always my first priority. I keep a calm, structured home where routines are followed, boundaries are respected, and every animal gets the attention they need to feel secure. I’m experienced with puppies, high‑energy dogs, seniors who need extra support, and cats with all kinds of personalities, so I’m comfortable adjusting care to match each pet’s needs. I maintain a clean, pet‑friendly environment with safe spaces for resting, supervised play, and outdoor time when appropriate. I’m reliable, communicative, and always mindful of each pet’s comfort level. Whether your pet needs medication, extra patience, or just a steady, reassuring presence, I make sure they’re cared for with consistency, respect, and genuine love.

About: I recently retired as the President of the Community Foundation of Elkhart County. I decided to try Rover as a way to spend time with animals and help individuals with their pet care needs. I am recently retired so I am free just about anytime I am needed. My wife and I live in Granger so I am available anywhere in the South Bend and Elkhart area. I have owned dogs and cats all my life. I will treat your pet as I treat mine. With great care, love and affection. Call me anytime.

About: Your pet is welcome in my home! They will get lots of TLC, play time, feeding, walking & love. My house is small but live on 2 acres in the country. My yard is not fenced so I walk your pets on a leash & there are trails in the woods where they love to walk too. I also have a tie out if they dont do well on a leash & some are fine to free roam but they are never left unattended. I can take 2 small to medium dogs or 2 large or 1 giant dog. I will also transport your pet(s) to & from your home if needed. This will be an additional fee. I have been professionally petsitting for the past 17 years. References are supplied upon request. Any cancellation less than 7 days before stay begins will result in no refund provided.

About: I have been caring for pets for a long time! I am very familiar with alarms and enjoy caring for other people’s pets! Nothing scares me. Not even 4 litter boxes. I am the kind of person who does it all. I’m commonly baking or gardening, but will always make time in my life to care for pets! They love us no matter what so they deserve lots of love! I am familiar with alarms and comfortable with cameras. I try to treat everyone’s home with respect and clean up after myself. Pet care can get messy but I’ll find the paper towels and clean up, don’t worry!

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my five years of experience caring for dogs of all ages and needs. I have worked with everything from energetic puppies, who require lots of playtime and consistency, to senior dogs who need patient, gentle care and a predictable routine. I am attentive, reliable, and committed to making sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I take the time to learn every pet's unique personality and tailor their care to meet their specific needs. I am currently a college student in South Bend, IN, and I am available to provide both dog sitting & house sitting services. I have experience caring for pets and maintaining a safe, clean home environment, and I am happy to accommodate your pet's routine, energy level, and specific needs. If you're traveling for the holidays or simply need an extra hand, I would love to help ensure your pets and home are well cared for. In your home, I care for your pets the same way I care for my own, by following their normal routine, giving them lots of love, and making sure they feel safe in their familiar space. I stick closely to your feeding, walking, and play schedules, and I am attentive to any special needs or instructions you share. I keep your home clean, respectful, and secure. I am happy to help with small tasks like watering plants or bringing in mail. I want both you and your pet to feel comfortable while you're apart.

“Bethany is a LIFE SAVER‼️ We were looking for help last minute and she accommodated us so quickly and professionally. She truly cares about our babies (two Siberian huskies), gets their exercise in & shows them all the love. We 100% trust her with them and our home. People like her are hard to find. She is now our go-to-gal for helping us with our dogs! We are so lucky we found her.”

About: I’ve had the pleasure of interacting with medium-sized dogs in my family, neighbors and friends! I don’t discriminate against any dog size, and I’m also open to taking on larger dogs. I work full time a 9-5 but I always make time! In the evening and weekends are open to new adventures! Some weekends and low key! I need/prefer a fenced in yard. Dog must be potty trained and leash trained. My home is tick and flea free ! This will vary depending on services requested.

About: I’ve had a dog for quite some time and I take care of her with my whole heart! She’s older now so I’m good with older & younger dogs! I’m currently not working so I have open availability and can work with basically anything! Let me know how I can help you and I’ll do my best to accommodate! I absolutely adore animals and I will always meet them where they are! They come first and I will put my full effort into taking care of them and developing a healthy and trusting relationship with them!

About: Hey Friends! My name is Julia Guy. I bring 17 years of hands‑on animal care experience from the equine industry, pet care centers, and veterinary support roles. I’ve worked as a wrangler, equine caretaker, pet care technician, and veterinary technician, which has given me extensive experience with animals of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I’m confident with energetic dogs, seniors, anxious pets, and animals needing structured routines or extra patience. My approach is calm, attentive, and safety‑focused, and I always take the time to understand each pet’s unique personality. Your animals will receive reliable, compassionate care every visit. I currently work part‑time as a veterinarian, which gives me plenty of availability for walks, drop‑ins, and consistent daily care. I prioritize each pet’s schedule and ensure they receive reliable attention, exercise, and companionship throughout the week. As a resident of Northern Indiana, I have access to many free public parks and walking trails that offer plenty of exercise and entertainment. In my home, pets have a safe, structured environment with a fenced yard and two friendly dogs for companionship if they love meeting new friends. I follow each pet’s routine closely, provide calm, attentive handling, and ensure they feel secure. In a client’s home, I respect their space, maintain consistency with feeding, exercise, and training preferences, and keep communication open so owners always know how their pet is doing.

About: Hi there!! I love both dogs and cats, and look forward to taking care of them. I've had many pets growing up. Habló Español también. As of right now I am available and flexible on time as school is out. I have been trying to find a second job, and would much rather prefer this to be my 2nd job as I enjoy going on runs with my dog and hanging out with my furbabies (I also have 2 cats). Why not make money while having fun and meeting new furbabies? I live near downtown Elkhart (heading towards Bristol). I live in a very safe and quiet neighborhood where there is plenty of space to walk, run, and enjoy a large field of grass (if allowed to be off leash).

About: I have had years of experience with kids from babysitting and being a camp counselor along with pet setting. Parents would rely on me to take care of the kids as well! I currently work as a registered behavior technician from 9-1 and I’m also a junior at iusb studying health science! My classes are online for the summer session. The dogs will always have my full attention so I can always make sure they aren't getting into anything along as always having a play mate! I will make sure they eat great meals and have a great time.

“Danielle was our first Rover experience and we were quite nervous...she made our vacation stress free, she did a great job with our girls! We will definitely be reaching out again!”
