4. Sarah P.
“I left another review for my other dog and the only thing I left out was that Sarah was very communicative the day of the boys' walk. Wonderful experience all around, this is the first time I have paid someone to walk the boys who isn't someone I know personally which I think is nerve racking for many but Sarah was friendly, and it went well!”

About: I live in Schererville, part time, mom of two teenagers with some time to spare. I have experience training puppies to follow basic commands, be well-behaved using treat rewards and can provide specialized care for senior dogs, including administering medication and offering gentle exercise routines. I offer a daily photo update service for pet owners, so they can see how much fun their pets are having while they're away. I have also cared for my long time friends cat when she was a way for a week. I know all the basics for all cats. Most cat have very unique behaviors, which isn’t a challenge for me. . I’m currently working part time and would love share my time with your pup or kitty in need. I am currently available most weekends to come to your place for visits, I do live in Schererville and would love to walk any size dog or any energy. I don’t mind the hyper activity, that keeps me moving. ;) I don’t mind coming by checking on your fur babies to clean up a litter box, puppy pad or give some medication. I’m enjoy helping others plus I love all animals all sizes. When it comes to my 4 different unique cats, it’s a simple routine that can be adjusted when needed but what I do in the morning is start off with the basic check bowls for fresh water and fresh dry food. And then depending on the day I have, I will give them a morning bit of wet food, maybe play time since I have a kitten who is basically a toddler :) when I get home, I do a lot of cuddles and play time again, if weather is nice and I’m going to be outside for a bit I will take the two that are indoor out door and let them roam the grounds of the house. And everyday we clean the cat boxes, sweep and mop if needed. Little bit of more wet food before bedtime and to get the zoomies out we do another playtime. It’s rewarding watching them play and how excited all furry friends get when they are rewarded too with our happiness and joy. The best friendship anyone could ask for. When taking care of a dog, I will ensure them have fresh food and water, take them for walks, play with them to get their daily exercise, groom their fur and if needed administer medication following any instructions carefully. This goes for cats as well.

“If there's an animal lover, it's Megan! Her dogs mean the world to her and she'd go above and beyond to secure their safety, and surely carries that philosophy over to how she treats other animals. Your pooch would be in comfortable hands, I guarantee it.”
7. Alethia B.
“Alethia loves pets and treats them like family. She has watched my dogs many times and I trust her entirely. My dog is very large and strong bit thinks she is a tiny puppy. Alethia is a able to not only able to handle walking my dog’s strength but also pamper her like the puppy she thinks she is. Will always recommend!!! She is very flexible! Thank you Alethia.”
8. Najah L.
“Najah was very communicative and was very patient with Ace. She kept everything under control and did her best to make my dog feel comfortable!”
9. Pam C.
“Pam is the perfect person to be a pet caregiver. She has watched and cared for my dog as well as my son’s when we have been out of town. Pam even let them out more times then we asked just because she wanted to visit with them. Her dog is the center of her life and feels all owner should be the same way. She loves the outdoors and takes her dog walking many times a day. Either through town or on the trail, she is always prepared with water, treats and waste bags. She loves to go to pet events so her dog has play time with others Pam is a very responsible person and I can always count on her to be there whenever needed. Anyone should comfortable letting Pam care for their pet.”
10. Nayeli R.
About: I love going on walks i’m homeschooled so i am always available, i can insure that as ur pet is in my care they will be fed, looked after, as well as taken out to use the bathroom, (and or litter box) I am currently in online school, so that allows me to have lots of free time, i already like to fill that free time with going on walks so adding your fuzzy friend won’t be a problem! I have no dogs currently but have had and know how to properly care for a dog, i am responsible, trustworthy, and clean. I can be both active and chill depending on your fur baby’s needs and requirements.
11. Quinn M.
“Quinn was great with my pup and sent several photos of the visit! Quick communication and took care of everything my pup needed during her visit”
12. Tyler G.
About: My family had a large dog when I was 11 years old. He lived until he was 16 years old. I currently have two cats with my fiancé. All of my pets are very loved. I have experience taking care of cats and dogs. I know the similarities and differences between the two pets. I work full time Monday through Thursday 8am-12pm and 2pm-6pm with a 12pm-2pm lunch break. On Fridays, I work 8am-12pm only. I am willing to care for your pets any time I’m not working. I am usually free on most weekends. I currently have two cats that are very loved and receive a lot of attention. I make sure they have enough play time every single day. They are very spoiled with toys, pets, and treats.
13. Caitlin C.
“Caitlin C. would be the most loving pet sitter! Her love of animals goes beyond the love of her own pets. You can't take Caitlin anywhere without her stopping to pet any animal she comes across. A side from that, Caitlin is also very respectful, responsible, caring and compassionate. I would not hesitate to give Caitlin a call.”
14. Mohamed A.
“Mohamed was wonderful! It was our first time leaving our 10 month old pup so we were very anxious but Mohamed eased us immediately with his text messages, pics and videos of our Chelsey girl! He has 1 dog of his own so it was nice that Chelsey had friends to keep her entertained while we were away for 8 days. We've been home 2 days now and I think Chelsea misses him already! Thank you for taking care of my furry baby!”
15. Bethany L.
“Bethany is very nice. My dog seemed to take to her easily. I’ll definitely be requesting her for future walks and sitting.”
16. Anne R.
“Anne was amazing with Marley! Came same day short notice to meet her then came back for a walk. Couldn't have asked for more. We will definitely be using her in the future!”
17. Eli W.
“Eli is the best! My pup loves him and he really cares for him!!”
18. Alexia C.
“I believe Lexi would be a responsible and loving pet caregiver for many reasons. She is time efficient, responsible and very organized. When Lexi sets her mind towards a goal she will achieve it through patients and hard work. Lexi is also very caring towards all lives around her. It could be as simple as sharing her water with a dog she sees on the street ,or stopping to see if a stray cat needs help. I've seen first hand how she is towards animals like her own. She is on top of their health needs and is always ready to show affection and appreciation. Lexi would be an amazing person to trust with animal and pet care. I would put my furry companion in ur hands any day or night.”

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life! Taking care of them is a passion I didn’t realize I had until I had my own house and didn’t have one to care for! So I quickly changed that and have a dog I care for daily. I am a home maker. I spend most of my daily hours home taking care of my kids and my dog! Our home is filled with love and laughter. The care I provide is the same care I would expect one to treat their dogs with! Dogs are not just simply pets but family members and should be treated as so!
