Michelle was awesome! She sent up pictures and updates multiple times and took great care of our 15 year old Aussiedoodle. She came to our home and everything was great when we came back. I will definitely book with Michelle again.

Alyssa did an awesome job house sitting with our 2 dogs while we were away for 5 days. The dogs bonded with her right away, and she took great care of them. When she came for a meet and greet she was very attentive in learning about their personal needs. She was also very responsive via text and sent updates throughout the stay. Our house was in great shape when we got home. We would definitely rebook with Alyssa in the future and she has our full recommendation!

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them comes naturally to me. I’ve worked with playful puppies, independent cats, and senior pets who need extra patience and attention. I love getting to know each pet’s personality—whether that means long walks, playtime, or quiet cuddles—and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. My goal is to make your pet feel like they’re with a friend, not just a sitter. Pet care is already part of my daily routine because I care for my own cat every day, from feeding and cleaning the litter box to playtime and making sure she feels loved and comfortable. Having my own pet has made me attentive to routines, behavior changes, and the small details that help animals feel safe and cared for. I also love spending time with dogs, whether that’s going on walks, playing, or giving them the attention and exercise they need. Caring for pets fits naturally into my routine because it’s something I genuinely enjoy and make time for every day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I follow feeding schedules, provide fresh water, clean up after them, and make sure they get the playtime, walks, or quiet companionship they need. I believe pets feel most secure in their own home because it’s their safe space, surrounded by familiar smells and routines. Being able to care for them in that environment helps build trust and creates a stronger, more positive relationship, making the experience less stressful for both the pet and the owner.

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.

Destiny did a fantastic job with the dog sitting over the weekend. Very communicative and everything worked out nicely. Dogs were great and she treated my house and animals with respect. It was so clean when I got back and I couldn't be happier. She said she does cleaning on the side. Next time I will take advantage of her deep cleaning while I'm gone. I know my pups loved their time with her.

Candice did a fantastic job with my pup Bo. By the pictures sent to me he appeared to be having a blast. Once she left he was one tired pup. He went to the bedroom to lay down and I hardly heard a peep out of him the rest of the day/night. Thanks for making his day fun!

This was my second time leaving my girls with a sitter. Jacee was wonderful, and made me feel completely at ease from the moment I met her, along with my dogs. She came to meet us at our home prior, and the one dog who takes a minute to get close, quickly welcomed her. Communicated frequently, sending pictures every morning and evening, which allowed me to see how happy they were with her, and I was able to not worry about them and focus on visiting and helping my grandfather while he is recovering in another state. I am looking forward to having her come back.
