Dog Sitting in Lake Station

About: My name is Madison Beck & I live in Portage, IN. My primary job is being a Scribe at Moses Eyecare Center. Working with animals has always been a passion of mine and I absolutely adore providing care for them. I have been an in-home dog sitter while people were out of town and have walked dogs. I am knowledgeable regarding training as well as administering medications. Additionally I have rescued strays. I have my own fur baby who is an American Bulldog/Lab named Rogue. I am so passionate about providing quality care for your pets! No limitations on sizes or age! They will be the most pampered in town and will beg for more! I’m so excited to hear from you soon. Have a Paw-some day!! **(Prices Negotiable)** I typically work your average 9-5 & am able to provide pet care before and after those hours. I am transparent & up front about my daily/weekly routine so that I & my clients can work out the best possible plan for everyone. I am able to discuss and apply all of your needs/requirements for your pet(s). Whether that be crating at certain times, feeding at certain times, etc. or following specific instructions to keep them happy, healthy & safe.

About: Hi! I have hands on experience working in a dog daycare and training environment providing daily care and supervision for dogs of various sizes, ages, and temperaments. My responsibilities included monitoring group play, ensuring safe interactions, and maintaining structured routines throughout the day. I also have experience administering basic medications to dogs as directed by owners including oral pill administration while following safety and care instructions carefully. In addition to daycare care I assisted with basic obedience training such as leash manners, sit stay commands, and reinforcement of positive behavior in structured sessions. I am currently studying through Animal Behavior College focusing on canine behavior, obedience training, and positive reinforcement techniques which I apply alongside my hands on experience. I offer flexible availability depending on the day and client needs. I am typically available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits, including weekdays and weekends. I do my best to accommodate recurring schedules as well as last-minute requests when possible. I understand that trusting someone in your home is a big decision, and I take that responsibility very seriously. I always respect your space, follow all instructions closely, and maintain a clean, secure environment while caring for your pet. With my background working in a professional pet care setting, I’m trained to stay aware of safety at all times whether that’s properly securing doors, using leashes and harnesses correctly, or monitoring your pet’s behavior and well being. I provide reliable, consistent care and make sure your pet stays on their normal routine to reduce stress while you’re away. I’m also happy to send updates and photos so you can feel confident and at ease knowing your pet is in good hands. Your home will be treated with the same care and respect as your pet, both are a top priority to me.

“Samantha was the greatest. She gave my cat space while also making sure that she can leave her sent with him. She gave great ideas to help me because this is my first time having a cat sitter. She is so receptive and she gives great advice. She connected with my cat wonderfully, and I truly appreciate what she had done with feeding him and connecting with him. I will use her again. She is definitely my go to and I would highly recommend her.”

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!

About: I have had all kinds of pets growing up. I currently have three dogs of my own. Two girls and one boy. I also have worked at a pet store for the past 2 years providing pet care to 40+ puppies on a daily basis. Each of them are loved and cared for as if they were my own and I’ll be sure to do the same for yours! ❤️🐾 Because I work full time I only have two-3 days available for my provided services. Those days are usually Tuesdays and Fridays each week :) My pets free roam the house but I have a doggy gate blocking the steps or any “unsafe” areas. I also have pet cameras placed in the main parts of my home. And bedroom doors are always closed for their safety 💖

About: Reliable, caring, and experienced pet sitter with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, parrots, and other animals. I’ve worked with a wide range of breeds and temperaments, including energetic dogs, large breeds, shy pets, and animals needing extra patience and attention. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I provide attentive care, regular potty breaks, walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, and consistent routines to help pets feel secure while you’re away. I also understand how important communication is, so I provide frequent updates and photos to give pet parents peace of mind throughout each booking. I’m dependable, flexible with scheduling when possible, and committed to treating every pet like family. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I have flexible availability for pet care in my home and can provide attentive care, companionship, playtime, walks, and regular routines throughout the day. For clients needing drop-in visits or walks at their home, I’m most available during morning hours before 11 AM. I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and loving environment while keeping pet owners updated with regular communication and photos. I believe every pet deserves personalized care based on their routine, personality, and comfort level. In my home, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and loving environment where pets receive plenty of attention, supervision, playtime, potty breaks, exercise, fresh water, meals on schedule, and lots of affection. I try to keep pets on their normal routines as much as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure while away from home. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect both the pet’s routine and the owner’s instructions carefully. I provide walks, feeding, fresh water, playtime, companionship, litter box or potty care, and regular updates with photos so owners always know how their pets are doing. I understand that every animal has different needs and energy levels, so I always aim to provide patient, attentive, and reliable care tailored to each pet.

Blessings to you Eli, until next time...Carolyn”

“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.”

“Daryl has been an amazing daily dog sitter for our pup during the week! Our 6 month old puppy is a handful at times and full of energy and Daryl handled him wonderfully. She did exactly what we asked and sent lots of updates throughout her visits. It was such a good feeling to come home to a happy pup at the end of the day. I would highly recommend her to care for your fur babies .”

About: Since I was a little girl, animals have always taken to me in ways that I haven't fully comprehended and it's amazing to witness. I like to believe that they respond to the love that I've always had for them! With my services, I’ll make sure the pets are loved and cared for like my own, whether they be cats, dogs, or more! Rest assured, your fur baby will be in great hands☺️ I am currently in school full time, but am available in the mornings and evenings to care for your pet! I am also available Sundays for in home, drop in, or dog walking needs I can be of service in anyway that is needed! While I’m not able to provide care in my own home, I am able to complete safe drop ins, sitting in the pets home, or dog walking if needed.

“Lora is my families pet nanny and comes highly recommended. The place is always the way I left it, treats fed out, cans of food eaten and the pets in good hands.”

About: Hello, I'm Rebecca. I'm 28 years old. I've always been an animal lover. I live with my parents who have had multiple dogs over the course of my lifetime. Being the only child still living with them, I've become their dog sitter anytime they leave for a trip, etc. I began experiencing disabling health issues right out of high school and resorted to dog sitting as a way to make money as I was not able to hold a "real" job. I grew to love it. I'm healthier now and looking to find more opportunities outside of friends, family, and neighbors. I would love to broaden my horizons and care for fur babies full time. I'm currently unemployed and have a very open schedule. I have experience caring for puppies, elderly dogs, and anything in between. I know how to administer medication and clean up accidents due to my past elderly dogs having health complications. I also have experience caring for rabbits and cats. After the passing of my 9 year old rabbit in June 2025, I felt like a piece of me was missing. Only a couple months later, I started dog walking for a woman in my neighborhood daily and it helped me through the grief of losing my bunny. That's what caused my desire to dog sit/walk to grow even more. It is said that "time heals all wounds" but the unconditional love from a furry friend really helps pass the time. I'm also a house plant lover. If needed I can water and care for any houseplants during overnight sittings. No more worrying about your beloved pets or plants while you're away! With me you can have peace of mind that they're all in good hands. I'm currently unemployed. I have a very open schedule except for weekdays from Noon-1pm (when I dog walk in my neighborhood). I have 2 separate church events scheduled on the 4th Saturday of every month. Scheduling walks or drop in visits can be tricky that day because the events don't always have a set time. I can dog sit at your home on those 4th Saturdays as long as I am able to leave for a couple hours for the events. During drop-in visits/walks I rinse and refill water bowls, replace empty treat toys, clean up any accidents that may have occurred, play with your fur baby to release any pent up energy they might have, and complete any other duties you may have for me. I pay close attention during potty breaks and notify the owners if anything is out of the ordinary. When dog sitting I can stay at your home overnight if needed. If not I can check in as often as you'd like. I can provide updates through out the day and pictures so cute you'll want to frame them.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and genuinely enjoy caring for them. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me for years to check in on, feed, walk, and spend time with their pets while they’re away. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and have experience with larger breeds like Golden Retrievers, German Shepherds, and Leonbergers, so I’m confident handling bigger dogs as well. I’m patient, attentive, and make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are gone. My schedule is pretty flexible right now, so I’m able to do drop-ins, walks, and check-ins throughout the week. I’m reliable about sticking to feeding schedules, potty breaks, and making sure pets get attention and playtime while their owners are away. I always try to keep pets comfortable in their normal routine and environment. I follow the owner’s instructions closely for feeding, walks, medications, or anything specific the pet needs. I’m patient with animals and make sure they feel safe, calm, and well cared for while their family is gone.

About: Caring for animals is my passion! I've taken care of dogs and cats of every kind since I was 10 years old. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I have two dogs and a cat of my own that I care for as if they were my children. All my pets have special needs, and I've gone above and beyond to care for friends and families special needs fur-babies as well. I'm available to hang out with and care for your pets! I have a lot of free time and am able to walk, feed, care for any pets while your at work on the weekdays or weekends. You can count on me to be there! I will follow any rules that you implement within your home to make sure your pet is safe, happy, and well-taken care of! Safety and care are of the upmost importance to me and I will treat your fur-babies as I would if they were my own because that's what I would want from my pet sitter.

“Great sitter very friendly and very helpful”

“Laylani is amazing! Our pup LOVED her. She was dependable and caring and I felt so much better about being away. The communication and pictures were so reassuring and my kids excitedly awaited her reports. Highly recommend (just not on the days I need her 😂)!”
