Top rated Michiana Shores pet sitters

“We have a brand new puppy and I work full time. Janice came in clutch dropping in once a day to help check in on our tiny one. Time outside, a little love and some snacks. Just enough til we got back home to her. I truly don’t know how people raised puppies before without the help of someone like her. She was super fast to respond, easy to work with, and I’m not surprised she has so many great reviews. We will absolutely be using her again when needed.”


“Emily was able to accommodate me last minute and was super communicative. I could tell my cat was very cared for while I was gone, and I even received pictures daily. I would definitely recommend Emily for catsitting!”


About: I've grown up living with dogs and have been the primary trainer for my family's dogs. I do pretty well working with new pets and can handle full size dogs. I'm an engineer who gets home from work around 4 or 5PM. My weekends are empty 3/4 weekends a month. I can do overnights on Sunday and during the work week if your dog is used to being alone 9-5. I have a small yard, and live next to the beach. I typically walk my dog to the beach 2-3 times a day on the weekend and she swims often. I usually use a harness to walk dogs, never leave them unattended outside since I have no fence. Make sure they have food twice a day and water always full.

About: I have worked with and cared for all kinds of animals including dogs, cats, birds, and common fish. I have been pet sitting for various neighbors and family friends over the years, and I’ve loved every minute of it. Also, I own a special needs dog, so I have a fair understanding of dogs who need a little extra care! I work part time as a non medical caregiver in various clients homes in northwest Indiana. This means my schedule differs from day to day, but I often have breaks during the day between clients. This means I’ll have the means to pop in to take care of your precious animals. While I won’t be boarding in my own home, I am very used to tending to people and animals in their own homes. Every client of mine will receive nothing but the best in terms of safety, trust, and maintaining a nice environment!

“Patty took wonderful care of my three elderly cats while I was away for a few days. She were attentive, reliable, and made sure my cats were comfortable and well cared for. I came home to happy, relaxed pets—highly recommend!”


“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.”


About: I have always loved pet sitting, especially throughout college. I can do the basics such as walking, taking out for potty breaks, and feeding. I think the best care I can give is when I can go above and beyond the basics. Being able to love and care for your pet while you are away is something I aim for! I’m an elementary school teacher on summer break so I have open availability to watch your furry friend. We’ll soak up the summer sun together! I do have a nice small yard (fenced) and a fur baby to keep your pet company. I can easily crate your pet if needed during the day or at night.


About: I grew up raising dogs, both taking care of the family pets as well as raising puppies for my grandmother repeatedly. I also have some experience in dog training I work full time, but only four days a week. I can always check on animals in the evenings and I always have Friday/saturday/Sunday free for pet care In a clients home I am respectful of the space that’s there. I find it easier to deal with pets in an environment that is familiar to them as they seem more at ease that way. I do my best to follow any routine an animal has to keep the animal calm and to make sure they receive proper care

About: I have been the lucky human partner of many cats and dogs. Your dog and/or cat will be treated like I would care for my own, with love, care and kindness. If they have special needs I'm happy to be your care extender. I am retired and self-directing, so my schedule can typically be tailored on an individual basis to fits the needs of Fido or Feline. I prefer advance notice and planning so there is a chance to build trust and familiarity with your best friend. I do not offer pet sitting in my own home. I can pet sit in your home if desired. Individualized plans are based on your needs.
