“Trisha reached out ahead of time on video chat and also stopped in for a meet and greet before our booking. She sent pictures throughout the week to keep us updated on our pups, they looked so comfortable and seemed to love hanging out with her. Our home was neat and tidy when we got back too. We love that our furry kids can stay home while we are on vacation vs. going to a kennel & will definitely rebook with Trisha again!”


“Super easy and relaxed house-sitter experience. Christy was responsive, present, and an engaged house-sitter. House was pleasantly clean when we arrived and most importantly animals seemed happy and healthy.”


“Katie did a Fantastic job! Our dog Annie gets anxious with new people, and Katie handled it like a pro. Annie quickly became comfortable with Katie, and was in great shape when we returned. The house was also clean!”


“Casey was an absolute lifesaver! I decided to book because she had great reviews and I was not wrong!! She reorganized her schedule to stay with my brand new lab puppy (10 weeks) for a full 5 days. My apartment was spotless and my boy was so so happy!! He even needed medication which she diligently gave him and I came back to a happier and healthier than ever pup! She was fantastic, and I would recommend her to anyone!!”

About: I have around 7 years of experience with taking care of neighborhood dogs. I've been trusted to walk, play with, and care for family dogs! I was a long time sitter (four years) for my neighbor's senior dog Ally, until I relocated to my current state. My whole life I have been an animal lover, but dogs will always hold a special place in my heart! :D My schedule is fairly open, I should be able to work with clients dependent upon what they need. In the future, I'd love for this to be my full time job as animals are my passion! In home boarding is currently not an option for me since I do not have the facilities for it at this time.

“The dogs met Erin and within 3m of meeting her they were relaxed and comfortable. She stayed at our home for the weekend and sent plenty of pictures of the dogs. They cuddled and looked very comfortable!”


“We cannot recommend Edna highly enough! She recently watched our two mini dachshunds, Tux and Moo, and exceeded all our expectations. From the moment we met her, we could tell how kind and caring she is, and she made us feel completely at ease leaving our dogs in her care. Edna kept our home spotless while we were away, and she consistently checked in with us to provide updates. She even sent us the sweetest pictures of Tux and Moo, which made us feel so connected and reassured. It was clear they were happy, comfortable, and well-loved under her care. If you’re looking for someone who will go above and beyond for your pets and treat them like family, Edna is the person for you. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible, thoughtful, and caring pet sitter!”

About: Mature, dependable, and experienced, I’ve cared for pets my entire life and hold dog and cat handling certifications from the Elkhart County Humane Society. I’ve looked after dozens of animals and volunteer with Fort Wayne’s Tails on Trails dog-walking program. I'm in the process of starting a business which makes my schedule very flexible. With adequate notice, I can be available just about any time. When I visit your home I will follow your detailed instructions to a T. Additionally, all dietary needs will be taken care of carefully and accurately. Exercise, quality time and care with your pet, and the utmost respect for your home are non-negotiables.

“Melissa was an absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond to make sure our dog Riley was comfortable and well cared for while we were away. Riley is a very anxious dog, especially around new people, but Melissa made the extra effort to meet her a few times before our trip to help Riley feel at ease. Throughout our time away, Melissa sent us frequent updates and adorable photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. She even brought toys for Riley and left our house spotless. Melissa’s kindness and dedication were evident in every detail, and we came home to a happy, relaxed dog. I can’t recommend Melissa highly enough! If you’re looking for someone who truly cares about your pet and goes the extra mile, Melissa is the perfect choice.”


About: Animals have been in my life since I was born. Cats, dogs, rodents, fish... even spiders! I've loved and cared for them all. I'm confident around all pets no matter their size or demeanor Working in education, my summers are always guaranteed off so I have plenty of time for your animals! Mornings, afternoons, evenings...even emergency visits! I can do them all. Including WEEKEND AVAILABILITY Any instructions given about your fur baby will be followed to a T. They are my number one priority and will always be treated as such.

“Lorraine was responsive to our needs and it was so nice for our dogs to stay in our home. She sent pics and reports on how the dogs were doing. Was pleased to find someone who is comfortable giving my dogs injections and medication. Lorraine has a friendly personality and made us feel comfortable leaving our babies with her for our first try with an in-home sitter.”


About: When you entrust your beloved pet to me, you're not hiring a sitter - you're gaining a compassionate, reliable, and experienced caregiver who treats your furbabies like family. I take the time to understand each pet's unique personality, routines, and needs, providing that is not only consistent and responsible, but also full of love, patience and cuddles. Having dogs my entire life I feel that I can adjust to their needs just as they adjust to mine. Routines are very important even for the pet who has no routine! At every opportunity I wrap my schedule around the pet's needs. If coming to your home outside the home is restricted so more time is spent with your furbaby. Being calm and not hyper focused on things that will take me away from them is imperative.

About: I’ve enjoyed watching some friends dogs espcially smaller ones. They are so sweet. I fed them, took them outside, played with them, and provided companionship while the owners were away. I am currently working 11-8 so could be there with the animals in the morning and evening. The animals would be well taken care of. I don’t have a place for animals at my home, but while watching my friends animals I made sure to leave quickly while they were distracted. I also made sure to have them put in their crate before leaving.

“Nel is very sweet and patient. This was the first time I left my dog with a sitter not known to him. He was very scared and nervous and Nel was very patient and communicative with me on how he was doing. I’m giving Nel 4/5 star review just cause I left some care info that wasn’t done. She was very respectful of my home, thank you for taking care of my dog and my home.”


About: I’ve taken care of my two Labs ever since I was 6 years old, (i’m 21 now) and have been dog sitting and cat sitting the past four summers!! Also I have worked in a vet clinic the past four years as well. I have the special skill of administering medication! I’m currently working part time at the vet clinic in the afternoons and it’s only 2-4 days a week usually. I can dog walk or pet sit in my free time during the day and on weekends. Possibly for a week or so. I unfortunately cannot watch them in my own home due to not having a good yard for them because it has a pool and not much area to run around. And also my dads allergies. I would have to watch them in your home.
