Cat Sitting in Michiana Shores

“Diana is fantastic! She jumped right in to help me with my new puppy for about two weeks now and we’ve a few more on the books. She gone above and beyond to help my take care of and start training my puppy! She’s timely and very communicative. SO thankful for her!!”

“Shawne was awesome. We definitely felt like we were leaving our cats in good hands. She was easy to communicate with and responded promptly to inquiries.”

“She was wonderful with my husky! Spirit is a rescue with a mostly unknown past. She is usually in "Stranger Danger" mode but while she was definitely not happy Lilliana managed to gain her trust and get her bathed with little drama. I am so thankful that Lilliana answered my request.”

“Jennifer was great! I hadn't followed up with her regarding access to Legend but yet she remained diligent regarding gaining access to him. I also appreciated her willingness to work with Legend. Being that he is a pit bull that can be intimidating to most but she took on the challenge. Thank you again Jennifer! I hope to book you in the future.”

“Emily has taken care of our cats twice. She was great at taking pictures and taking care of our kitties - even when one of them scratched her. She communicates clearly with us before booking and during the visits. I do recommend.”

About: I have three pets (two dogs and a kitten). I have had my dogs since they were puppies and trained both. They are basic and advanced command trained, crate trained, and potty trained. My sister successfully captured a stray kitten and after getting him fully vetted he is now our indoor cat who has been successfully litter trained. I have babysat many of my neighbors dogs and love walking my two dogs. I know how to deliver medicine to pets and feel comfortable caring for older pets. I'm currently working part time so I have a flexible schedule! I am available most weekends and during the week. I start a hybrid college course in January. When I visit your home I ensure to leave things the way I found them (hang up leashed/put toys away) and I am happy to meet a home before care for instructions.

About: I’ve spent my entire life surrounded by furry companions, and understand their needs and energy completely. With boundless enthusiasm and endless patience, I’m here to provide a loving, engaging experience for your pets! I am available for early morning shifts, evenings, and weekends, and I can generally accommodate your schedule with at least 24 hours' notice if needed. I maintain a safe and minimalist environment that provides ample space for your cats or dogs to play. Additionally, I can rearrange the areas in various configurations to meet your pets' needs.

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life. I have experience with diabetic dogs. Dogs that need medicine. Special needs dogs. I love to play with them, walk them and I will treat them as my own. We raise horses so I have a lot of experience where you have to pay close attention so I would notice if something is off with you dog and I would address it immediately. I’m retired so you would not have to worry about your dog or cat. I would walk, brush, and play with your dog or cat. I would take care of your animal as my own at your home. I would make sure they are loved like my own. If they have special needs or need shots, medicine or anything extra you can feel safe with me.

About: Hi! My name is Allison, and I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds. I currently have a full house with 4 dogs and 2 cats so I’m very comfortable managing different personalities, energy levels, and care routines. I also spent 3 years working in the veterinary field, which gave me valuable experience recognizing health concerns, administering basic care, and understanding animal behavior. Whether it’s playtime, walks, feeding schedules, or just giving your pets extra love and attention, I treat every animal like they’re my own. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I’m committed to providing safe, reliable, and compassionate care while you’re away! Pet care is a natural part of my everyday life. I currently work as a 911 dispatcher, so I’m used to managing a structured but sometimes fast-paced schedule. I plan my pet sitting visits around my shifts, which allows me to stay organized and committed to each pet’s routine. Since I care for my own 4 dogs, 2 cats, and a horse daily, feeding, exercise, and attention are already built into my routine. Adding client pets into that schedule feels seamless, and I make sure each one gets reliable, consistent care and plenty of attention. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I provide drop-in visits that include feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and lots of attention based on each pet’s needs and energy level. I take the time to follow all instructions closely whether that’s specific feeding schedules, medications, or preferred routines, so your pet feels comfortable and secure while you’re away. I also make sure your home is respected and kept tidy, bringing in mail, adjusting lights, and ensuring everything is secure. With my background in the veterinary field and experience caring for multiple animals of my own, I’m attentive to behavior changes and overall well-being, so you can feel confident your pet is in safe, capable hands.

About: Hi, my name is Mariah. I have two pets of my own, 1 puppy named Lake and 1 cat named mango 💙🥭. I have two years experience caring for animals in a professional setting at a animal hospital. My biggest take away from that job was learning the importance of communicating with the customers and making sure their pets were always a priority. As pet owners we don’t always feel like our pets come first and that can be a very uneasy feeling. All animals deserve people with the right intentions and when finding the right person to take care of your pets you deserve to be able to relax knowing your pet is happy, healthy, and being treated well. Your pet will be top priority in my care and will be treated as my own. I have experience administering medication to both dogs and cats. I can follow raw food or special diet recipes. I am very detail oriented and can keep your pet on their daily routines, such as meal plans, and medication, exercise, etc. Requirements: I ask that your pets be up to date on vaccines and their flea and tick prevention, especially puppies they MUST have their dewormer, parvo, and distemper. I will not take a risk of getting my other animals sicks. I currently work full time Monday through Friday (7am-3pm.) I have open availability after 3 pm on the week days. My weekends are open availability. I have two outdoor runs, 40x50 outdoor enclosed fence for outdoor time. I also have multiple crates that can be utilized in emergency situations or for comfortability as some dogs just like using crates as a safe place to relax and decompress. I have two playpen areas in the garage that are great for puppies that I can bring inside. If there is a reactive dog in the bunch I will separate and place the reactive dog in another room to avoid fights. Your dog will be walked and engaged with while being outside as I try to make this a fun activity for my dog and a chance for him to get his energy out. For cats I would prefer to offer service at the owners house due to already having a cat and knowing she doesn’t like sharing her space with cats and prefers her own cat room.

“Dylan comes highly recommended and was a pleasure to employ. Terrific communication, kept the house as clean as when I left and most importantly the pets always seemed to be content.”

“Great job!”

About: I have been surrounded by animals my whole life, and through those years they interest me more and more. I had/have multiple cats and dogs, and the connection with them has been something I couldn’t imagine not experiencing. Plus, the knowledge I have gained from being around familiar animals makes me feel I would love experiencing new things with other pets, and get to know their unique personalities. With that being said, I am open to almost any training/service necessary for your dog(s) or cat(s) needs and would love to get to know your fuzzy family! I’ve just started school, and my classes are every weekday from 5:30 pm to 10 pm, just so you’re aware if that contradicts any booking requirements you need. I have my own pets to take care of, but other than that I don’t have consistent routines that would get in the way of the times and dates I’m available. For drop-ins, I will do feedings, outdoor/potty time, and get to know your pet(s). If there’s any questions or other service not noted that you’d like to ask I can do, I would be happy to answer. Walks- I do at least 15 minute walks, and up to 90 minute walks. More characterized questions, such as walking area or what certain necessities your pet(s) needs can be discussed once I have contact/a schedule with you.

About: Hi, I'm a 36 year old animal lover, I've had dogs and cats most of my life. Currently I don't have any pets due to the rules where I live, but I'd love to treat your pets like my own. Walks, baths or whatever the goodest boys and girls want/need. I have experience with older dogs and puppies. I currently have a pretty open schedule except 2-8pm Monday, Wednesday and Friday (can be worked around for the right situation). I have plenty of time to make sure your best friend is living their best lives while you're away. Pets are my top priority, potty and breakfast first thing in the morning, a nice walk around the neighborhood, lots of playtime especially for those high energy breeds, brushings and bathes for the dirty doggos and add in pretty painted nails for the pretty goodest girls.

About: This isn’t “watching,” it’s enrichment. I’m home full-time, comfortable with giant breeds, and working toward a dog-training certificate. I don’t have pets of my own—so let me “borrow” yours. 🙂 Why it’s premium Toys galore: fetch, tug, chew, puzzles, snuffle mats, flirt pole—rotated and sanitized. Daily enrichment: scent games + short training reps (sit/down/place, leash manners). Real routine: 4+ outdoor breaks, play blocks, naps, calm evening wind-down. Senior-smart: slow walks, extra potty breaks, meds as directed. Safety & house rules No mixing different client households. Group play allowed only for dogs from the same household and only with owner approval. Crate only if your dog already uses one or needs it to decompress—otherwise no crate. No off-leash outside secure areas. Toys inspected/cleaned; high-value items managed; feeding done separately. Calm, low-stim environment; fully supervised play; I end sessions at the first sign of stress/arousal. A typical day Morning potty → breakfast → enrichment/training → rest. Midday walk/play → puzzle/lick-mat → nap. Late-day yard time or walk → dinner → relaxed engagement → bedtime potty. What I need to know Potty status, triggers, allergies, meds, feeding schedule, crate habits, separation issues, resource-guarding. Bring food, harness/leash, and a comfort item from home. Services Boarding / Daycare: enrichment-focused structure and play. Walks / Drop-Ins: potty, feed, tidy, quick manners tune-ups. Training add-on (optional): 15–30 min focused sessions on your priority cues. Updates Clear photo/video updates with honest notes on meals, potty, rest, and what we worked on. Bottom line: premium, toy-rich, 1:1 care—safe, structured, and tailored to your dog. Currently home full-time. I take dogs out generally about 4 times or more if needed. They will be well-loved. Bring their favorite toy so I can play with them with it. They will be walked every other day health permitting. I generally prefer dogs, but I love all animals.I don't have any animals of my own right so let me "borrow" yours. ;) I care for dogs, cats. I generally like to train them as well with simple commands to make your life simpler. I am currently pursuing a certificate in dog training.

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!

“Keely was pleasant to communicate with, kept the house as clean and pets were happy so 👍👍 up. I'll be booking her again for my next out of town adventure, thnx Keely :)”
