“Ashlee was amazing! We had an unusual request with our dogs in that we asked her to pick our dogs up and drop them off at the boarding facility. She handled our situation like a pro! I would highly recommend! Thank you Ashlee for all your help!”

“Heather was wonderful with our pups, even our old cranky one. 😁 We have never left them that long before and we knew they were in good hands. We couldn't ask for a better sitter! Thank you Heather, much appreciated!”

“Mariah was an excellent sitter for our dog Ernie. She was prompt and followed all instructions to the letter. She sent lots of pictures and provided thorough updates during each drop in visit. We would highly recommend her services and plan to work with her in the future!”

“Janelle did a wonderful job with Merry. After I got home I swear Merry kept looking for Janelle too! Merry was happy, healthy, and well fed. She is a lover and from the photos Janelle sent, Merry got lots of loving!”

“All three of my fur babies liked Christina right away. She is a caring, reliable pet sitter, and had responded to all my inquiries promptly. I will definitely trust her with my fur family whenever I need a sitter again.”
“Alyssa was so good with our Tucker. She was on time and even went above and beyond for a few unforseen circumstances. We will definitely be asking her again....as Tucker was happy with her as well. Thank you ,Alyssa!!!”

“Sophia did a great job caring for my kitties while I was on vacation. She made sure to give them love and attention as if they were her own. I loved that I got pictures every day, so I never had to worry about them.”

About: I (Amelia) have taken care of my own dogs since I was seven and consider it a privilege and an honor to care for your pets when you need to be away. As a huge animal lover, I have a bachelor's degree in Animal Science and have previously worked at a kennel bathing and grooming dogs and at a veterinarian as a technician/assistant. I also have some experience with dog training and have trained my own dog from being an unruly rescue to a well-behaved house dog. I am willing to care for whatever pets a client has and love to learn new things and expand my knowledge of pet care. I am always learning more about dog training and pet care and will bring that knowledge into my care for your pets. I have a flexible schedule and love walking dogs and getting outdoor exercise and am looking to add some more dog-walking and drop-in visits to my schedule. I take great precautions to make sure all dogs in my care are safe. I will frequently double-leash or use a harness with a collar to prevent any escapes while dog walking. I take care to keep dogs away from strange dogs and anticipate and prevent any dangers before they happen.

“Nicholas is so great with Eddie that we booked him a second time! So pleasant, kind and seems available at our times of need. Thank you Nicholas! -René, Ryan and Eddie 🐶🐾😊”

“Camryn was amazing! She was more than happy to meet Gigi for a quick meet & greet before the drop in. I appreciated her updates on Gigi and the pictures she took while walking Gigi. Will definitely book her again!”


“Michaela has watched our dogs while we have been away for a few trips over the last year. Every time she cares for our pups, she does an excellent job! Her communication is very thorough and it leaves us with peace knowing that our pups are all good. She goes out of her way to provide us with photos of the dogs and she even takes the time to love on them during the visits. Couldn’t be more thankful for her and the amazing work she does!”


“Kimberlee was very communicative and reliable! She took great care of Linus and made sure he was doing well with his food, water and litter box. Would definitely rebook!”

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!

“Fantastic. She’s prompt, extremely communicative, and our boys seem to just love her! She’s come through in a pinch and we appreciate that so much as our plans are often up in the air till the last minute. My boys (dog and two cats) are my whole world. Syd eases my anxiety when I’m away from them, and vice-versa!”

“Val was amazing! She did drop in visits for my dogs for about five days. On each visit she took pictures and updated me on the status of my dogs. I could see on their faces that they were having fun with Val. She even bought them some toys to play with. She was very attentive and responsible.”
