1. Janis & Devin R.
“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.”

“Alexis was awesome and kept my Cali company while I had to be away. Cali sure is enjoying the toy Alexis gave her. I will be sure to use Alexis anytime I need assistance with Cali.”
3. Shawne S.
“Shawne was great she followed all instructions, cleaned up any messes, and was very easy to get a hold of. For the 30 minute drop-ins she stayed for a little over an hour (maybe that was 30 mins per dog, but it was great!) She sent a report card for each drop-in which showed the path of their walk, if the dogs went to the bathroom, and included multiple pics of the dogs. I would definitely recommend!”
4. Melanie C.

About: Hi, I'm Anna, a dedicated pet lover with the flexibility to offer dog walking, sitting, and pet care services throughout the week, thanks to my work-from-home schedule. Whether it's weekdays or weekends, I'm here to ensure your furry friend gets the attention and exercise they need! Happy Summer! I live on Lake Michigan so taking dogs to the beach has always been my favorite activity. While I work from home, I'm able to do drop-in dog visits and dog walks in the Michigan City/Long Beach/New Buffalo area. I grew up around German shepherds/collie mixes, so loving on big dogs is my thing, especially on long walks and post-walk snuggling on the couch on those lazy days. I no longer have animals and hope to one day adopt a dog when I'm ready, but for now, I really enjoy being around all types of dog breeds - big and small! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. Working from home gives me the flexibility to walk, sit, and care for pets throughout the day, ensuring they get the love and attention they need every day. I provide personalized care tailored to each pet's needs. In my home, pets enjoy a safe, loving environment with plenty of playtime and attention. When caring for pets in my clients' homes, I ensure they stick to their routines and feel comfortable, happy, and well-cared for in their familiar surroundings.

19. 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.”
20. 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!
