“Great feedback about the pugs!”

About: Ive always known my love for animals since I was very little, especially dogs. I’ve volunteered at a dog shelter a few years ago and loved every minute of it. Animals are misunderstood and some haven’t experienced real love from a human. I’ve worked with puppies to older dogs, big and small. Anything from walking, bathing and some commands I was able to teach. I’m no expert though. I do have one dog of my own and I’m currently fostering for Heartland Rescue to get more hands on. I want to take this to the next level and now care for dogs full time if possible. As I continue this, I will open up more services. You’re pet will feel loved by me even when you're away, as if you never left. I do have a third shift job as well so my schedule at the moment is limited but I make sure to keep it up to date every week. If you are unsure, feel free to ask! The same love, joy, and patience that you show to your pet is the same that I will do. I will also keep the same routine you have for your pet if that is what you would like.

“Mariah took great care of my dog, showed up on time and sent me clear information about how she was doing. Thank you, I appreciate it!”

“Kimberlee was great! She was responsive to my request. She was on time for both walks and sent pictures of Finn. I will definitely use her again in the future and highly recommend that you book her as well.”

“Ashlee is great! I had to unexpectedly leave work and come home for a few minutes so I ran into Ashlee who was walking LiLi. When LiLi saw me, she got excited and was pulling hard. Ashlee handled all 80lbs of her pulling with ease and had her back under control in a few short seconds. Will continued to use Ashlee for sure!”

“Emily is always super-reliable in every way and our dog Jilly enjoys walking with her so much that she has stopped barking at the doorbell as she always hopes it might be Emily!”

About: In addition to our current two dogs and barn cats, we have taken care of family pets and have been trusted dog- and cat-sitters for friends and family since we were teenagers (probably a fair bit more than 10 years, but who's counting!). We are experienced with giving medications, special feeding needs, bathing, etc. We have a large, fully-fenced area of our property with lots of space to sniff and explore. We take walks around our neighborhood and the back of our property in addition to lots of running around the yard! Flexible work schedules mean we can care for pets during the week and on weekends! With any extra dogs, our yard becomes a fun dog park, so we would love to temporarily have your dog join the bunch! Our property has a large, fully-fenced yard (~0.25 acres), so it is an excellent place for dogs to run around and play. Our dogs are very friendly and love to play with other pets and humans. We know that many dogs have fine-tuned routines (feeding, walks, etc.), so we can always accommodate special requirements.

“Lydia is friendly, reliable, and easy to communicate with. My dog came home with a big grin on his face!”

“Heather does outstanding with my two girls! My littlest baby lupita who has always been very fearful of strangers absolutely loves her. She usually takes a while to warm up to new people but met heather the first day and loved her. My oldest girl Nana is a big love bug so she of course had to be all over her the first day she met her. Heather made the process of trusting someone other than myself to love and care for my babies as I would a very easy and stressless process. She accommodated all the special needs of my girls, checked in frequently, and answered any questions I had. She was very flexible with her schedule when a change of walking time was needed. I have nothing but good things to say about heather and could not have picked a better person to trust my baby girls with.”

About: I'm new to professional pet care, but I've always loved animals and have helped friends and family look after their pets when needed. I'm responsible, patient, and happy to follow detailed instructions to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved. I’m a college student with a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to care for your pets! I’m available most weekdays and weekends, and I can easily adjust my hours to fit your pet’s routine. I currently don’t have any pets at home, which allows me to give your furry friend my full attention. I provide a calm, safe, and clean environment, and I always follow your care instructions carefully to make sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for.

About: I have over three years of experience providing pet walking and house-sitting services, caring for a wide range of animals with reliability and compassion. I am passionate about working with pets of all kinds and committed to ensuring their comfort, safety, and well-being. I have two dogs of my own that I care for on a daily basis, giving me hands-on experience in providing consistent attention, exercise, and companionship. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize the comfort, routine, and well-being of each animal. For dog walking, I ensure they get regular, safe, and stimulating walks based on their energy level and needs. For pet sitting, I follow any feeding, medication, and exercise schedules provided and make sure they have plenty of companionship and attention. Additionally, I keep the home clean and provide regular updates to the owner. My goal is to make the pet feel comfortable and cared for while maintaining the owner’s peace of mind.

“Took great care of my corgi puppy, Rudy! Very punctual and spend extra time with him playing after his walk. Followed all care instructions and couldn’t be happier! Thank you so much Lily!”

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!

“Mary was fantastic! So punctual & sweet with Pearce! My golden had some separation anxiety, but Mary did everything she could to make him comfortable on the walk and it means everything! Best rover experience I have had yet!”

About: I have been taking care of all kinds of pets since I was 8. I have a German Shorthaired pointer now so I can definitely handle some high energy dogs. I have many other pets including a cat, Guinea pigs, some reptiles, and fish so I am ready for anything! I am currently going to school to be a veterinarian so you can imagine how much I love pets! I have taken care of plenty of pets owned by friends and family and I am excited to have the opportunity to take care of yours! I am currently out of school for the summer so I have plenty of free time to play with, walk, feed, and watch your pets! I can’t currently board pets but I am willing to do whatever is needed for your pets in your home! Just give me instructions and I can do just about anything!

About: I have had dogs growing up and about 8 yrs ago decided to get a puppy with my fiancé. We spoil our little guy with only the best food and groomers. Semi loves having play dates, going to dog parks and just cuddling and lounging. He is very active and is very loving. He is about 13lbs so he is a small guy but gets along well with most dogs. We have a balcony and a private backyard for your pup to sniff around! We are great at keeping to your preferred schedule, extra instructions for medicine is a top priority for us. We will send photos at least once a day and can adjust according to your preference of contact! We will take care of your dog just like it is our own baby.

About: I have house sat and pet sat my entire life starting at about 10 years old. I am fairly new to the area and am excited to meet some new furry friends and get to know the area a little more I am currently waiting to hear back from jobs so I am very open to any times! If I hear back from a job I still plan to be available during mornings and nights! I follow the instructions that are left for me to provide the same schedule as the pet follows when normal family is home. I also do my best to befriend pets and keep them calm and comfortable while they are in my care

About: I love walking dogs and I make sure I have 2 water bottles for me and the dog(s) or cats. I’m a local, so I know all the hip spots where the dogs like to mingle. I can also care for sick pets and have experience with dogs having seizures and cats with diabetes. I’m willing to learn the proper way to care for your pet when they are in my care. If your pet has any special needs please inform me in full. I can currently only pet sit small dogs and cats in my current residence. A little info about me: I’m a local recent college grad involved in the artistic community around South Bend IN. I work for a local book store and have flexible hours. Mondays - Wednesdays my schedule is more giving. Thursday-Saturday, I am free after 3PM to care for your pet family. I work in the NN Neighborhood, so I’ll finish up at the book shop and can take your pets on a nice walk through the neighborhood. When I am home sitting for a pet parent, I’d like to know if the pets is on a specific schedule and if they are in need any medications. I spend time with the animals sitting outside in the yard or inside the home for pets who cannot handle outside weather conditions. If you have cats, I’ll make sure their litter box is clean when I leave and that all water and food bowls are filled.
