“Great with Tommy.”
3. Kimberly V.
“My dog, Loretta, clearly is comfortable with Kimberly—she seems to view her time as a special vacation. Today Kimberly took on the task of helping 20# Loretta feel confident interacting with a much larger dog. Enlisting the assistance of Kimberly’s 90# lab, they walked together and then engaged in free play with close supervision and guidance. It was wonderful to see Loretta initiate play with a much larger dog. I highly recommend Kimberly for her knowledge base, informed judgment and warmth.”

About: I have always enjoyed spending my time with animals. I got my first dog when I was in elementary school - sadly he recently passed away - but since coming to college I have been missing my sweet fur baby. Being able to play with and care for someone else's pet while also earning extra cash would be an ideal job experience for me. Getting a new pet really isn’t an option for me right now. With all the free time on my hands, and I would love to get the chance to spend it walking and playing with your fur babies! In the past, I have dog sat for other friends and family and I really enjoyed it and having the extra company is always a plus!
6. 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!”

“Was very responsive and was able to help last minute. Dior is still learning his manners and jumps a lot but Lilliana handled him well. He came back wore out and ready for a nap which is exactly what I needed her for😌. Will use her again”
11. Georgie M.
“Good communication. Sent pictures and summary of walk route. Just what we needed for a day trip away from our house.”
12. Karah S.
About: I've cared for dogs since middle school for neighbors friends and family. I have experience with energetic breeds such as Siberian Huskies and stubborn breeds such as chow chows. I also have basic per first aid knowledge and basic per training understanding. I'm currently volunteering three days a week at a barn in Elkhart Indiana. I would be available to care for your pet in the north Liberty Indiana area Friday through Monday. I may be available outside of these days on certain weeks so please contact me and I will see if I can work something out with you. I have experience using fenced in yards and tie outs as well as just taking a dog on the leash in the backyard. I have experience creating and uncrating a dog as well as walks, feeding, and medication administration.

“Tiana is so loving, caring, kind, empathetic, sympathetic, supportive caregivers I know! She won’t even hurt a fly or an ant! THE most trustworthy person I know!”
15. Aaron J.
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life, so getting older & widening my love for animals into a job seemed so fitting. I really enjoy those outdoors walks & dog park visits I am able to get in. Not only do the animals need to burn off energy, but I do as well! I currently am working a part-time hostess job at Casey’s in New Buffalo while I do only college classes at the same time, but still have plenty of hours in the day to attend to your fur babies! I am extremely flexible to any needs. I prefer watching the fur babies at the clients home because the pets are more comfortable there & can do their daily routines there. I would rather adjust myself than to have them adjust!
16. Anna G.
About: Hi, I'm Anna, a dedicated pet lover with the flexibility to offer dog walking, sitting, and pet care services throughout the week, thanks to my work-from-home schedule. Whether it's weekdays or weekends, I'm here to ensure your furry friend gets the attention and exercise they need! Happy fall! I live on Lake Michigan so taking dogs to the beach has always been my favorite activity. While I work from home, I'm able to do drop-in dog visits and dog walks in the Michigan City/Long Beach/New Buffalo area. I grew up around German shepherds/collie mixes, so loving on big dogs is my thing, especially on long walks and post-walk snuggling on the couch on those lazy days. I no longer have animals and hope to one day adopt a dog when I'm ready, but for now, I really enjoy being around all types of dog breeds - big and small! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. Working from home gives me the flexibility to walk, sit, and care for pets throughout the day, ensuring they get the love and attention they need every day. I provide personalized care tailored to each pet's needs. In my home, pets enjoy a safe, loving environment with plenty of playtime and attention. When caring for pets in my clients' homes, I ensure they stick to their routines and feel comfortable, happy, and well-cared for in their familiar surroundings.

19. Dakari R.
About: I have been an avid pet lover my entire life and have been taking care of my own pets(dogs and cats) for 15 years. This includes feeding, cleaning and playing with animals. I am currently unemployed so this will be my primary past time/job for the time being. I’m up early morning and late nights so I am always up and available to help.
