Pet Sitting Harter Heights

“Emily did an amazing job caring for my cats, providing updates, and generally going above and beyond, AND my cats felt comfortable with her, which is not always the norm. I will definitely be asking her back next time I go out of town.”

About: I have had pets since I was 4 years old. Growing up on a farm, I learned to take care of animals from a very young age. Additionally, I spent a lot of my high school years pet sitting for neighbors, family friends, and friends of friends! I have had many dogs of many different breeds and ages. I tend to be an active person, so walking and playing with my pets to ensure their exercise is something I prioritize. I’m very good at adapting to pets different personalities and making them as comfortable as possible. I work 5 days a week but on a hybrid schedule- 3 days in office, 2 days working from home. My hours are 9-3, so I have plenty of time during the week to love on your pet! Additionally, my weekends are free. Though I do not have any pets currently, I have an apartment with plenty of room, outside space, and live directly across from a huge, gated dog park— which is friendly to all sizes of dogs. Additionally, I live right next to tons of walking trails, perfect for those pets who love their walks! If your pup is needing to be crated, I can easily make that happen, as well as anything else your pet needs!

“Mariah was an excellent sitter for our dog Ernie. She was prompt and followed all instructions to the letter. She sent lots of pictures and provided thorough updates during each drop in visit. We would highly recommend her services and plan to work with her in the future!”

About: What sets me apart is the level of responsibility, patience, and attention I bring to caring for someone else’s pet. My background in the Armed Service has taught me to be dependable, punctual, and attentive to details, but I also understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. I take the time to learn those little things rather than treating pet care as simply feeding and walking. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, stubborn, or just wants some company, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’ll treat your pet—and your home—with the same respect and care I would expect for my own. I will be the one and only caretaker for your pet, should you ever require it. Our goal is to keep our girl, Rya, active and happy with walks every morning, afternoon, and evening—with the occasional midnight adventure! Since we currently live in an apartment, regular walks are an important part of our daily routine, giving us plenty of steps while making sure she gets the exercise and stimulation she needs. We always come prepared with water, treats, and dog bags whenever necessary, and we’d provide the same level of care and attention to any pet entrusted to us. To ensure building safety, trust, and a positive environment, I am open to receiving feedback from the owner about each of their pets' schedules or rules they are accustomed to, and to providing care and supervision when the clients are not present.

“Thank you Heather. On time, reliable and loved on my pups. I appreciate the extra care you took with Brandy. She's an energetic pup for sure.”

“Erin was a great help keeping our animals happy while we were out of town. No complaints and only appreciation.”

“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!!”

“Christina not only took great care of Martini but she also lugged bags of water softener salt that the company misdelivered into my garage. No easy trick!”

Julie T.

“Carly was amazing! My cats are usually very shy but they warmed up to her in no time! She was able to watch our babies on very short notice and made sure to send lots of pictures and videos! I will definitely rebook her for future needs.”

Ashlee B.

“Sydney was able to watch Louis as an emergency due to another sitter not showing up. She is the sweetest and I know Louis is in great care with her.”

Jaylin C.

“Izzy has been so attentive with our pets during visits. Her communication and photos are very much appreciated. We highly recommend her and will continue to book with her in the future! Thank you Izzy!”

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!

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.

“Our dog Champ LOVES Lydia! She is a wonderful pet sitter—always on time, takes care of Champ like she’s a member of the family, and sends fun updates during her visits.”

About: I grew up with animals- my dad raised and bred dogs professionally, and my brother and I helped by taking care of puppies. We also had our house dog and I had cats. Since then, I have raised many dogs, cats, and bunnies. Currently my husband and I live by ourselves and travel a lot so we do not have our own pets, but I miss having animals around and would enjoy helping take care of others’ pets. We have a calm, clean, and happy home. We love animals so much, we are both vegan as well. Your pet will be in the best care! I work from home primarily, sometimes teaching yoga classes in the public space. I also do massage nearby occasionally. My husband is home most of the time as well. We care for pets just as we would our own. We walk regularly and live near a large park and river walk. We are very well organized, and have also taken care of our many children throughout our lives!

“Alexis handled our two boys so well. Definitely gonna book her again! She is a really nice and kind human and great dog sitter!”

Joelle B.

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

About: I stand out from other sitters because I bring a rare combination of veterinary training, hands‑on clinical experience, and a lifetime of caring for animals of all sizes. I am a veterinary nurse graduate from Marian University Plymouth 2026, which means I approach every pet with a strong understanding of animal health, behavior, and safety. Alongside my education, I’ve worked as a veterinary assistant in both large and small animal medicine, and during my several externships at Emergency, Specialty Hospitals, Private Practice and currently working at a veterinary clinic. These roles have given me extensive experience with senior pets, animals with medical needs, medication administration, safe animals handling and recognizing early signs of illness or stress — skills that most sitters don’t have. Beyond my clinical background, animals have been a central part of my life from the very beginning. I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life, and I’m comfortable with everything from energetic puppies to shy or anxious pets. I also have a fountain in farm work which created a strong sense of responsibility and dedication. Your pets aren’t just watched — they’re cared for by someone who truly understands them. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine since I’m currently working at a veterinary clinic with a consistent schedule. I work Tuesday–Friday, and depending on your location, I can stop by for mid‑day potty breaks during the week. I also follow a steady, work‑style rhythm, so I can visit in the mornings before my shift and return in the evenings for feeding, walks, or check‑ins. My weekends are even more flexible, giving me plenty of time for longer visits or extended care. Because of my profession and lifestyle, pet sitting blends seamlessly into my routine, and I make sure every pet receives dependable, attentive care throughout the week. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and consistent environment that keeps pets comfortable. I like too follow the pet’s normal routines as closely as possible — from feeding and medication schedules to preferred walking routes and bedtime habits — because familiar patterns help reduce stress. I treat every home with the same respect I’d want for my own. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, enrichment, and reassurance so they feel relaxed even when their family is away. My goal is to provide care that feels seamless, trustworthy, and grounded in both compassion and professional experience.

About: I've had a passion for animals my entire life and have experience volunteering with a local dog rescue since 2018, where I gained hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities. Over the years, I have learned how to feed, walk, administer medications when needed, clean, socialize, and provide plenty of love and attention. Family members have also trusted me enough to care for their loved ones while away. I understand that every animal has unique needs, and I strive to make each pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I'm available for pet care Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM. During that time, I can provide drop-in visits, pet sitting, feeding, fresh water, potty breaks in the yard, playtime, enrichment activities, companionship, and medication administration if needed. Because I have tarsal tunnel syndrome, I do not offer dog walking services, but I love keeping pets active through indoor games, toys, and interactive play that matches their energy level. I'll always follow your pet's routine and provide regular photo and text updates so you can feel confident they're receiving attentive, loving care while you're away. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and any special needs before providing care. I'll treat your home and your furry family member with the same respect and attention I'd give my own. I'm attentive to behavior, keep a close eye on pets during playtime, and always follow your instructions regarding feeding, medications, and household rules. You'll receive regular photo updates and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away.

“We had a really good experience with Kylie taking care of both the cats. Both cats gelled with her, she made sure to share many pictures from every visit. Had a peace of mind, knowing they were in good hands. We will definitely approach her again if we get a chance.”
