4. Mercedes B.

“This is the 2nd time Mercedes has dog sat Obasi. She is my go to. I wouldn’t want anyone else outside of my family to watch him. She’s caring, playful and patient with Obasi. She’s a great communicator as well, providing updates as often as you may want them. Although with her watching him, there is less stress and no need to check up on him daily.”


5. Kimberly V.

“Our Micki took to Kimberly right away. Our dog can always recognize a fellow dog lover. We received many photos and videos while we were away, which made us feel really good. When we got home, Micki was happy and tired from having so much fun. Thank you Kimberly for treating our dog like the queen she is.”


6. Jack W.

He watches and listens attentively to his student, human and animal friends to find out their comfort level to gain his trust. But all in all he is kind and very caring person admired and loved.”

“Hello, Sydnee is very a kind, caring and loving person. Sydnee is thoughtful, mindful and intuitive, she genuinely cares for pets. Sydnee would be a great pet sitter because she is attentive to others needs.”


8. Amy K.
“Amy is an amazing pet caregiver, and also just an overall swell human being. She's punctual, thorough, knowledgeable about animal care, and is happy to follow any specific instructions you may have. She's respectful of your space and takes full ownership of her responsibilities, leaving nothing to chance. I've relied on her to care for my household of animals (2 dogs, 3 fish, & 75gal aquarium) many times over the last several years, and there is no one I would rather entrust with their well-being than her. 10/10!”


9. Holly S.

“Holly sat for our boys and we arrived home to find them calm which is always a good sign. We later found out she had to contend with fireworks while we were gone, and they scare our pup terribly. This makes it more impressive that he was calm when we walked in. Very happy with how it went!”


10. Amber P.

“She was great!! Sent pictures and updates. Played with them. Highly recommend.”

12. Jerzey B.
About: What sets me apart as a pet caregiver is my hands-on experience with training and caring for my own dogs. As a proud owner of a Pitbull and a Great Dane, I understand the unique needs of different breeds and how to create a comfortable, safe, and stimulating environment for them. My passion for animals goes beyond just feeding and walking – I’m dedicated to ensuring your pet feels loved and cared for while you’re away, and I have the skills to provide extra support for pets who might need it. Whether it’s basic obedience or more specialized attention, I bring a personalized approach that makes sure your pet is treated like family. As a student, I’ve structured my schedule to allow flexibility when it comes to pet care. I can easily accommodate pet boarding any day of the week, or stay at your home to ensure your pet receives the attention and companionship they need while you’re away. I understand how important it is to have a reliable and caring person looking after your pet, so I make sure to prioritize their needs while balancing my studies. Whether it’s a few hours or several days, I’m here to offer consistent, loving care when it’s needed most. I provide loving, hands-on care for pets both in my own home and in yours. As someone who truly loves spending time with dogs, I make sure they feel right at home by playing with them, cuddling, and offering lots of affection. I’m happy to give them a bath if needed and take them out regularly for potty breaks, making sure they stay comfortable and well-cared for. Whether it’s keeping them entertained or providing some quiet time, I tailor my care to each pet’s personality and needs, ensuring they feel safe and loved while you’re away.


13. Manny A.
About: My passion for taking care of pets knows no bounds. I provide lots of love for pets, and in turn, they provide an inspiration for my art. In fact, some of my comic characters are based on pets I've had over the years As of now, I'm available all day, every day. This availablilty gives me ample time to make sure your beloved companions are safe and sound. I value your pet's safety above everything else. I always keep a watchful eye on pets to make sure they're never in any danger. Whenever I'm out on walks with pets, I make sure to keep them close by.


14. Kamryn G.
“You will be so happy with Kamryn! She is an animal lover & so caring & considerate. My pets absolutely LOVE her! She has watched our family fur babies for years and I highly recommend her. To say she is AH- MAZING is an understatement! Kamryn is professional, trustworthy & very reliable.”


15. Cindy P.

“I am so grateful that we found Cindy to watch our 3 pets. Our dog is 9 years old and this was the first time we left her with anyone besides my son. As soon as we met Cindy, I knew she would take good care of them. We received updates while we were gone and everything ran very smoothly. If we go on any other trips, I hope Cindy will be available to watch our animals. Thank you!!”


16. Elisabeth G.
“Elisabeth was so easy to work with. I don't trust many people with my Charles. Elisabeth was punctual and kept my hyper corgi entertained. I trusted that Charles would behave and be well cared for with her. Elisabeth made me feel comfortable enjoying a weekend away with my husband. I loved the updates she sent me because I'm a bit of a helicopter dog mum.”


17. Courtney B.
About: Hello! My name is Courtney B. I’m 29 years old and can say I’ve been an animal lover for all those years! I’ve always been surrounded by animals growing up from cats & dogs to birds and lizards! My favorite thing about them all is their unique personalities. I’ve taken care of a countless number of animals and have helped family and friends with theirs when needed! I recently lost my favorite pup in the world and that was the most heartbreaking day ever!!! But I still have my cat to keep me company on the sad days. She is my little snuggle bug. Animals are my passion! I hope I am considered in taking care of your beautiful pups & kitties! I would love nothing more. I am currently working online from home so I have all the time in the world to care for your pets! I am very flexible. I live in a house with a big back yard, whether you need your pet to be taken out on a leash or I also have a doggy tie-out anchor which I can hook your pup up to to enjoy the outside on it’s own with being securely fastened. I have hooked up large breed-dogs to it and have had no problem!

19. Samantha S.
About: I’ve had dogs, cats, turtles, fish, and hamsters since I was a toddler. I used to pet sit for my neighbors and family members from about 10yrs old onward. I’ll walk, cuddle, bathe and play with any type of pets. I used to volunteer at an animal shelter. I also worked at Coyne Vet center for about 2 years. I’m usually available for a walk or drop in visit on week nights and the weekends! I do work in the Crown Point area so I’m mobile. I’m open to in house pet sitting as long as your pet can go about 6 hours alone with me being at work. I always remember that your home is their home. I like to keep your fur babies as comfy as possible. I also try to keep them on their regular routine as if nothing is changing for them.


20. Shyann S.
About: I have had pets my entire life so I am no stranger to what their needs are. I have worked professionally with all types of animals for about 2 years now. That includes senior pets, puppies, kittens, and even some exotic pets. I still am at my job that involves me working with animals which includes; feeding, walking, bathing, and even knowing what to do in case of an emergency. Your pets will definitely be safe with me and feel loved while we wait for your return! I do work full time at my current animal facility but I do have days off and can look after pets on my days off and even go feed and walk them before and after my shifts! We have a big back yard with lots of space for running and exercise. I have a sweet golden retriever puppy and 2 yorkies that are friendly as ever. I can crate your dog if requested and make sure to bring the food they are used to to ensure they get their meals. I believe your pet would definitely just feel like it was one big play date while you were away!
