1. Shawne S.
“Shawne was absolutely terrific taking care of my cat while I was out of town! The biggest snow storm to hit Michigan City while I was away and Shawne went way, way, way above and beyond to take care of everything! I am really grateful that I didn't have to worry about anything. Thank you again, Shawne!”
2. Janis & Devin R.
“I was nervous about finding a pet sitter (my mom had watched my cats when I was away until a stroke left her no longer able to) but I’m so glad I found someone who not only cared for them but gave them playtime and treats while I was away. Janis was excellent with communication and quick to reply. I loved getting the daily photos after visits ended and knowing they were in good hands. Would highly recommend if you are looking for a sitter for your fur baby’s! Thanks so much for caring for my kitties, Janis!”

“Diana was very prompt and professional. Looks like our cat enjoyed her visits!”
5. Emily G.
“Top tier Rover. Emily is always saving me in a tight spot and taking care of my kitty, Nyx, during my ultra last minute holiday plans or emergencies. She’s very communicative and follows pet care instructions to a T, she’s saved my ass twice in a bind and I have no complaints especially since my baby is fed and a little less lonely while I’m away. You’re in good hands if you choose Emily.”

16. Natasha N.
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!
17. Louisa E.
“Lu, is just amazing with our german shepherd (Xena) she is flexible, responsable, quick to respond and so sweet. I definitely recommend her to anyone to care for your fur baby.”
18. brandi b.
“I was very happy with the care my cat received from Brandi while I was away. Brandi was terrific and thorough while caring for my cat. Brandi took care to make sure my cat was well taken care of and kept safe. I appreciate the help from Brandi and I recommend Brandi to anyone who needs a pet sitter.”
