Dog Sitting in Lake Station

About: I've raised pets (dogs and cats) for most of my adult life and would love to care for yours while you're away! With me, your precious furry family members will get the love and care they deserve, and I'll stay in frequent contact with (texts/calls/pics) you about their care. I've been away or on vacation and employed pet sitters in the past, and I know how reassuring that frequent communication is! I am retired and have no strict obligations that would keep me from sticking to any care schedule you need. Over the course of my work life, I've adapted to about every time and day schedule possible - weekends/late nights/early mornings are no problem! I have a reliable two-year old car, and am very experienced using any modern technology necessary if anything unexpected happened (Google Maps/Hailing an Uber/Anything smartphone related, etc) I understand how important it is to meet your expectations regarding the care of your animals and I will do whatever it takes, and I will treat your home with the utmost respect.

“Great communication, very detailed and good photos! They were great and accommodated all needs.”

About: **Are you located outside of the service area, but I seem like a good match? Please reach out anyway, I'd love to speak with you and could be open to traveling a little further in some circumstances! Hi! My name is Amanda. Thank you for your attention to my Rover profile. I've had pets most of my life! Our family includes a 140lb special needs mastiff (Perro de Presa Canario aka, Canary mastiff), a 12lb Cairn terrier, a 50lb Staffy/boxer mix, and last but not least: a 7lb Dutchie/New Zealand house bunny aka, "The Queen". I am comfortable getting my hands dirty. I have a hard time resisting getting down on the ground everytime I meet someone's dog. It might be my toxic trait. I'm comfortable with bathing and light grooming including: brushing, nail care, and dental care. My availability revolves around my own pets and their needs, of which there are many—medication, walks, grooming, enrichment, etc.. Essentially, my life revolves around ensuring that theirs is one that is as fulfilling, and a far cry from the situations from which they were rescued, as possible. We have a fenced yard on an acre plot. Our bunny is litterbox trained and lives along side us as the beautiful queen that she is. Some people may call us obsessive, but we just love our pets and want to be the best custodians possible.

About: I love animals! I’ve had pets all my life. We have always had dogs, my sister has a cat, and when I was younger I also had 2 rodents similar to chinchillas! I just moved back home and have full availability. I can work any day at anytime. I will really be able to provide your pets with my full attention! We walk my dogs every single night. I also feed them and play with them. I will be able to provide your animals with the same level of care that I provide for my own pets.

About: I've grown up around cats and dogs my entire life. I have pet-sat for people, walked numerous dogs from the shelters, and even fostered shelter cats in my home. I am comfortable with all ages of pets and all sizes. I would love to be available for your needs all weekdays past 4pm. I do work full-time, but would be willing to do whatever I can to help you. I can care for your pets in your home whether it's walking, playing, feeding, or caring for them. I am okay with bathing and brushing the pet. Also okay with taking in the car with me if we go to the dog park.

“Lindsey is as wonderful as ever!! She is so friendly and kind to my cats and always goes above and beyond when watching them! They love her as much as I do!!”

“Daryl is the sweetest and treats my fur babies like her own. We’ve already re-booked with her to take care of our kitties. If you want a kind and caring individual who cares for your pets the way you do, look no further, she’s the BEST!”

About: I've taken care of house pets since I was 8 years old and loving and caring for animals has been my passion ever since. Life without pets is a life wasted. Each day I care for my pets by nurturing them to happiness, protecting them from harm and id like to extend my love for your animals. I'm available the following days and times daily... Monday, Tuesday & Thursday: 10:30-11am & 8:30-9pm Wednesday, Friday & Saturday: 8:45-9:15 & 7:30-8pm Sunday: 9:45am-10:15am & 6:30-7pm I care for pets like family; with love, enjoyable activities, attention and care. Life with pets is a life worth living and comes highly recommend.

About: Depending on the needs of your animals, I can come over how many times you need me to and take care of them! This even includes staying overnight if it is what your animal needs! As of right now I am currently unemployed, taking 1 online college course, allowing me to have flexibility to care for your precious animals all throughout the day! Animals are always most comfortable in their home environments and for this reason, pet care in a place where they are used to is best. I do require meet and greets before I take care of your animal, just so you know they are in safe and trusted hands!

“Kerrigan took excellent care of my 2 girls (cats). She played and cuddled with them, they quickly became friends with her, and she made sure they didn’t miss me too much while on an extended vacation. I’ve already asked her to take care of them again while I’m on a work trip.”

“Madison was great with my cats. So glad I chose her to care for them while we were away. She did everything perfect. Definitely will choose her again. Love the picture updates as well.”

“Between being responsible, a good communicator, offering fair pricing and all the great photos Brooke gets my seal of approval! She even worked on tricks with my puppy Snoopy and fed the fish so thumbs up.”

About: My husband and I live in a well taken care of home in Portage IN. We also have 2 children ages 6 and 4 years old so dogs we watch must be good with small children. We never leave our children unsupervised with the dogs always make sure they are respectful with dogs. My yard is rather large (approx. .30 acres) and with a 6 foot wood privacy fence. I volunteer for local animal shelters and have fostered many times for Lakeshore Paws in Valparaiso IN. My husband and I have decided to break from fostering dogs and offer our home and services to people who need their baby taken care of while they are away. That is also how we treat other dogs who are in our care for a short time. My husband and I enjoy having dogs and we also enjoy spoiling them rotten. When we babysit your pup you will be sure to receive many updates and pictures of your baby or babies being treated like family. We recently lost both our elderly dogs so we are currently a dog free home so we can cater to dogs that need to be the only dog. We just need kid friendly dogs that don't mind loud kids running around. My husband or myself are always home so your pup is never left. We have plenty of lush dog beds and a very large kennel if your dog is kenneled. I have a fenced yard, great neighborhood, and an active family to watch your pup. We love to treat dogs as family when they are in our home.

“Great sitter very friendly and very helpful”

About: I have been a dog mom for over 16 years. One dog I had for 16 years before she passed of old age and the other passed after 11. They were very well loved and cared for. I’m currently fostering/potentially foster failing on a senior dog who has social and anger issues, so I’m use to catering to pets needs lol. I’ve experienced baby stage to senior stage. I am my own boss, so I make my own schedule and can accommodate most people’s needs if given enough notice. I’d love to help! My dog is with me majority of the time as he has horrible separations anxiety, but when my fiance is home I can leave him home with him to help your pets!

“I love knowing my fur babies are so well taken care of. Katie is friendly and knowledgeable. So happy to have her!!!”

About: I've grown up with dogs my whole life, and my love for them has only grown over the years even as an adult that always had a minimum of two dogs which I have now as well. I have experience and Doggy Daycare dog boarding I have no problem watching your pet in your home or dropping in for walks or feedings. I have a very lenient attitude, and dogs pretty much can do no wrong, in my eyes. You can be secure in the fact that your dog will be treated very well and loved as if he was my own. You can do what you need to do worry-free oh, and now that your dog is in the best of hands. Thank you

“Jessica was great and took amazing care of our 2 cats while we were out of town! She made sure they were fed and happy, played with them and gave them some company each drop in. We got lots of pictures and updates and she was very responsive to any questions we had about our cats on how they were doing. Really eased our minds knowing they were taken good care of.”
