About: I am an experienced animal lover, I have pets of my own as well as fostered lots of pets, and was a long term employee for the human society. I rescued all my cats. Family, friends, coworkers, and neighbors have allowed me to take care of their dogs while they are away. This is a true privilege since you know pets are a special part of our families. I am typically home in the evenings during the week and around and flexible on the weekends with enough prior notice. Since I have 2 dogs, 2 cats, a guinea pig and a hamster of my own I enjoy spending quality time with them whenever I can. I do work but pet care can fit into my schedule Monday - Friday early mornings, lunch breaks, and late afternoons. Saturdays and Sundays are open. I will be available to go to your home and care for your pets. I would not prefer to bring any pets to my own home as my pets are very territorial.

6. Marina A.

“Marina was AWESOME watching our pups in our home while we were gone! They met with us beforehand to meet the dogs to make sure everyone got along which was so considerate and we really appreciated. They even brought treats, which the dogs appreciated! From the pics, it looks like our pups had a great time. Definitely will have you sit again in the future!”

8. Janis & Devin R.
“These folks are true dog lovers if ever there were any. Their hearts are made of gold and they welcome furry friends of all sorts. They’re reliable, punctual, and detail oriented. If I were you, I’d trust my pets with them. Seriously, I even entrusted my own son to them! Now that’s saying something. 😉👍”


9. Lilliana R.


“Lilli is absolutely amazing! She stayed with our 8 week old puppy and did a wonderful handling him when he needed a lot of attention. She was so great at communicating and keeping us up to date regularly. She was also so accommodating. We could not recommend her enough!!!!”


10. Jack W.

“Jack was great with our two senior dogs. He was attentive and checked in with us while we were away with notes and pictures. He cleaned up after himself in the kitchen and stripped the bed he slept in while house and pet sitting. Would definitely ask him to come again.”


11. Matt M.

“Matt was amazing with the dogs! He sent a ton of pictures and updates and the dogs loved him. We will definitely be booking with him in the future!”


12. Kimberly V.

“Our Micki took to Kimberly right away. Our dog can always recognize a fellow dog lover. We received many photos and videos while we were away, which made us feel really good. When we got home, Micki was happy and tired from having so much fun. Thank you Kimberly for treating our dog like the queen she is.”


13. Kyle P.
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life I helped raise my parents dog, a four year-old Australian Shepherd named Eddy. I’ve dog sit and watched family and friends dogs, majority of my life. I really enjoy getting exercise and spending quality time with other peoples dogs, being able to socialize with them, play with them and get as much joy from them as I can. Im free in the afternoons Monday- Sunday. Also evenings my schedule is flexible. I live in Chesterton dune land area. I’m a animal lover but dogs are my favorite animals in general. I’ve got experience with many different breeds. From behavioral training - teaching dogs how to do tricks. From bathing and waking running swimming, I’ve got experience working with aggressive rescue to watching multiple dogs. I’m eager to help them no matter what the situation calls for. Thanks -Kyle. I’m currently working part time so I have extra time to earn extra income doing something I really love. It’s truly a dream job for me. I helped rise my parents 4 year old Australian Shepherd, i trained my dog to stay in the proximity of the yard when he was six months old he does not need a leash when we go on walks he stays by my side or within 100 yards. I’m very fortunate that I trained him early on at a young age so he knows the perimeter of the yard. He’ll also sit an watch the other neighborhood. Dogs play. He does not go into the their yards. He just sits at the perimeter of my yard and watches them play This is one something I’m extremely proud of.


14. Candice T.
“She loves animals especially dogs and is very good at being adaptable to a pets specific needs. As a pet owner myself I know the importance of ensuring your pet is properly cared for and the importance of deciding to entrust them to someone else’s care. I know that Candice would do an amazing job meeting your pets needs!😃😃😃”


15. Kamryn G.
“Kamryn was referred to me through a family friend. She is amazing, loving, thoughtful, and trustworthy. Last minute, I needed someone to house sit 4 crazy dogs; two of mine and two of my mom’s! My mom’s puppy is a high energy black lab that needs a lot of attention. My mom’s other dog is super old and struggles sometimes getting in and out of the house. My two adopted dogs have separation anxiety and have accidents. Kamryn definitely had her hands full! There were no accidents, she sent pictures throughout, and even kept the house super clean which is a lot with four doggos! She is such a wonderful person, and I use her regularly now when I have work trips!”




16. Aidan C.
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


17. 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!

About: My motto is that it's my responsibility to make sure that each dog under my care is HAPPY and SAFE. Every day that I'm with your pup, I keep that motto at the forefront of my mind. I know how important dogs are to our lives, so it's my duty to make sure that your dog gets to experience the same kind of love while you may be away. I currently volunteer at the Toledo Humane Society to walk dogs and I have loved it. I am currently studying at the University of Toledo with online classes. I am always looking for more ways that I can get extra exercise and spend time with pets. I grew up on a farm and have so many great memories taking care of all the many animals we had. I miss my pets at home so I hope I can care and walk your dogs like I have for many years at home. Taking care of animals fits in to my schedule in the mornings of most days because I am not busy until evenings and I would love to use that time to take care of animals that may need a friend while there parents are away. I love taking pets on long walks where they can get all the zoomies out. I always start with saying hi and giving them a much needed welcome treat with some pets. I then will have doggy poop bags if needed on walks with some extra treats along the way.

Im also an avid reptile keeper and am available to care for exotics such as lizards, turtles, amphibians, tortoises, fish and birds! I’m currently a Licensed Veterinary Technician in Indiana. I’m also a licensed veterinary technician in Indiana, which means I can care for dogs and cats that may need any type of specific nursing care. I have watched pets for friends and family that have gone out of town on many occasions and each and every time I ensure their pet feels like they’re on their very own vacation!
