House Sitting in Elkhart

About: I grew up working on my grandmothers farm and helped managed a rescue of birds, reptiles, farm animals, rodents and house pets. I now have three dogs and rebuilding my farm! I’m a stay at home mom for a 9and 3 year old but I’m pretty flexible with time as I have help! I can work with what ever schedule you have and if not and can work to help find someone for you! I have an extensive history of caring for pets, whether my own or others, including feeding, playing with them, talking to them, keeping them company, and much more while their owners are away, at others home I try to play and confer them as much as possible try and keep them on their routine and try not to change much of their daily style.

“Jonathan did really great. Arrived in plenty of time for me to go over things about my blind dog. My fur baby was great when I got back. Thanks again!”

About: I grew up with animals and have always felt a special connection with them. My family and friends always know that I will be there for their loved ones as if they were my own. I currently work full time in the evenings, however I find time within the mornings to make my rounds. I make sure the babies have everything they need in a timely manner! I do have a fenced in area as well as 2 spare bedrooms, in case of needing private space. I also own 2 dogs and a cat, that are friendly towards other fur babies. I do have a kennel as well, in case.

About: Has fostered over 200 dogs and owned over 5 dogs at one time, ranging from puppy to elderly. Has helped care for over 20 dogs at one time, and has experience with taking care of dogs with complex needs. Currently doing pet care and house sitting full-time, so my schedule is open for clients to fill. Available during the day and evening, as well as open to multi-day sitting. For my pets, I have one acre of fenced in yard, a doggy door, homemade food, and puppy care area in the front yard. For clients, I am willing and able to give medication as needed, meet their standards of food and cleanliness for their pets, and can let their pets out as needed.

“We are very pleased with Chole. She took very good care of our big barky dogs. We will definitely be using her in the future.”

About: I have cared for animals of all species since my childhood and loved every minute of it! I prioritize the animals’ happiness above all else. I am currently a student working toward a biology degree to work in a zoo. In the meantime, I maintain and care for my own pets including a medium-size pitbull mix, and 110 pound shepherd and a leopard gecko. I practice basic maintenance as well as training and enrichment exercises. No pup should be deprived of playtime, so I make sure they have excess of it!

“Potato had a wonderful time with Amber. Very communicative during the stay and was very accommodating due to my situation with him. Would definitely recommend her!!”

About: I'm a lover of all animals, willing to accommodate special hours or instructions, if medications are needed I'm comfortable doing that as well. Have been pet sitting for 10+ years and have yet to meet a dog/pet I don't adore? I'm willing to work with anyone's pet and meet them beforehand to make sure they feel comfortable with me. A pet should always come first so I would want to make sure I can accommodate their needs. I'm a firm believer in in also having a healthy relationship with pet parents and most certainly encourage any questions to make sure your pet and I both be comfortable each other before accepting any job. Please feel free to contact me, I'll answer any questions about myself and background as well as provide references. I am currently a part-time student so my schedule can work around yours. I set my school hours accordingly, therefore it doesn't interfere with the care of your pet. Patience goes a long way when it comes to establishing a connection with a pet. Pets are attached to their owners and some can become sensitive or withdrawn to new people. It's up to me to form a bond with all pets. Most pets I have come across form relationships easily, however there are cases where pets may come with a past. Such as being rescues whose previous owners didn't treat them well . In such cases lots of love, attention and patience would be given on my part to ensure that your pet feels safe.

About: I've taken care of animals since I was very young. Ive always loved to be around them, care for them, and of course PLAY with them. I can do your basic training with most younger dogs in which include sit, stay, lay down, shake, high five, heel, and also potty training. You can count on me to take the time with all animals with what ever need it may be. I'm a stay at home mother of 2. I basically have all the time in the world. I can take care of my kids and care for my fur-babies with no problem at all! I do everything exactly how you would do for your fur-baby in your home. General instructions are always followed, maybe a little extra love and play but in all your fur-baby will be well taken care of, tail wagging, full tummy, and ready for naps.
