Top rated Elkhart house sitters

“Laura was fantastic as usual with our cat Axel. It was the holidays so it was a bit frenetic as I traveled abroad, but the videos and check ins for my elder cat aided my anxiety. For an overnight sitter, Laura is the best :)”


“Jessika was great watching my two dogs over the weekend, sending us pictures and updates every day! We will contact her again when we need a petsitter :)”


“This was our first full weekend trip away from our four senior cats for a long time. From the beginning, Jade made us feel confident that our fur babies were in good hands. She sent pictures and gave reports everyday. Two of our cats require meds including insulin shots 2x daily. We were so pleased when we returned home to find our kitties looking happy and healthy. Jade is going to come back in a few weeks for our ten day trip. We know our fur babies will be in good hands which gives the gift of “peace of mind.””


“Kasondra was great with our senior foster dog! She took him out for walks, car rides & gave us multiple updates throughout the day. We’d highly recommend her!”


“Ashley did great with our two pups! She seemed to know how to navigate our more anxious pup and get her to warm up to her, which is huge for me as I worry about our anxious girl! Our other pup is deaf and a bit of a handful, but she did great!”


“Gina is the best. We have 2 bigger dogs and she handles them great. We don’t worry at all when they are in her hands and we’ve even taken longer trips up to 5 days. She is pleasant and responsible with a nice sense of humor. Our dogs love her and are comfortable around her. You can tell Gina is a dog person by the way she interacts with them. No fear and completely comfortable which also helps the pups not be anxious while we are gone. I highly recommend Gina.”


“Abby is wonderful. She was very attentive. Kept in co tact if any questions needed to be ask. I would recommend her to any whom would ask. Would book again.”


“Lisa was a fabulous caregiver for my cat, Rizzo! She is a loving and caring person and went above and beyond the perimeters of our engagement and spent extra time with him, bought him toys, and watched over my house and watered flowers too in my absence. I highly recommend her for any pet care or house sitting or both.”


“Kapria was amazing with my baby kitty! She gave me great updates about him and stayed at my place smas requested. She is a wonderful pet person and I highly recommend her!!!”


“Emily came through for us big time and took such good care of our home and our pit mix Billie. She gave us regular updates with cute photos and our shy pup absolutely loved her. Highly recommend!”



“Dominick house sat and took care of my 5 year old sheepdog for 9 days while I was on vacation and he was amazing! I am always nervous about leaving my dog with anyone and it was all very last minute, but he arrived early and was very polite. He sent me pictures of my dog and made sure he had daily cuddles. I came home to a very happy pup and the house was exactly as I left it. Would absolutely recommend him if you’re looking for a responsible and responsive rover!”


“Thanks Tonya for the care and love you showed our boy Tanner. We very much appreciate you sitting with him and keeping him company! For those in need of a home sitter for their pet we do recommend Tonya. She communicates with you regularly on your pet’s activity and status so you are not wondering about them while you’re away. She’s a definite rebook for us in the future!”
