Dog Sitting in Mishawaka

“Michelle was wonderful! She dropped in to feed & care for my Kitty while I was out of town for 10 days. First time I’ve left him alone with a “stranger” but he came out from hiding and took to her from day one! That’s never happened even with family members he has seen previously! Loved the daily message and photos. I highly recommend Michelle. She can be trusted to care for your special pet and goes above & beyond to report potential concerns with the house/property too ! She will definitely be my first choice for future trips!”

About: I’ve had dogs and cats all my life. I’ve potty trained them, taught them how to walk with a leash, taught them tricks like sit stay and say your prayers, and too many to say. I will spoil your fur babies like I do mine. You would never have any worries while you’re away they will be in good hands. I love and enjoy being around dogs and or cats. I’d send you videos and or pictures of your fur baby. Some owners have their fur babies on a schedule if so I will do the same. if there is a park nearby I’d probably take them there. But first I would ask the owner what they would like me to do sense it is their pet. I'm retired so I'm flexible. My routine is the fur babies routine. I'd like to keep it that way for them, so I would need to know. I have a fenced in yard, not big for big dogs tho. They will be fed, played with and cuddled. If they need to be caged I have a large one for their comfort.

About: My family always had a pet dog. As a kid I would feed and walk dogs in the neighborhood while they were out of town. As I grew older I would stay at family or friend's homes if they went out of town. I'm in search of a similar situation in South Bend - dog walking and light housework included! Weekdays I can stop in and let the dog(s) out for bathroom breaks. On weekends/evenings I can stay at your home so that the dog is familiar and will make myself available 100% during that time. I prefer to stay or drop in to my client's home. I find that the dog is more familiar/comfortable this way too. I am happy to do a test run so that everyone feels comfortable/familiar!

“Absolutely Fantastic!!!! I can’t say enough about the professionalism, sincerity, and care this father daughter team gave out Jack. He is older and always has issues (separation anxiety). He was so happy and energetic when we got home. Usually takes days for him to recover! Highly Recommend!!! Will be a return customer next time we need a sitter for our buddy.”

“We had a really good experience with Kylie taking care of both the cats. Both cats gelled with her, she made sure to share many pictures from every visit. Had a peace of mind, knowing they were in good hands. We will definitely approach her again if we get a chance.”

About: Ive always known my love for animals since I was very little, especially dogs. I’ve volunteered at a dog shelter a few years ago and loved every minute of it. Animals are misunderstood and some haven’t experienced real love from a human. I’ve worked with puppies to older dogs, big and small. Anything from walking, bathing and some commands I was able to teach. I’m no expert though. I do have one dog of my own and I’m currently fostering for Heartland Rescue to get more hands on. I want to take this to the next level and now care for dogs full time if possible. As I continue this, I will open up more services. You’re pet will feel loved by me even when you're away, as if you never left. I do have a third shift job as well so my schedule at the moment is limited but I make sure to keep it up to date every week. If you are unsure, feel free to ask! The same love, joy, and patience that you show to your pet is the same that I will do. I will also keep the same routine you have for your pet if that is what you would like.

About: Growing up, I helped care for my family's dog and regularly pet sat for neighbors' cats and dogs. I now have a cat of my own, so I truly understand the love and responsibility that comes with caring for a pet. I know firsthand how stressful it can be to leave your fur baby behind for a work trip or vacation. I’m committed to giving every pet the attention and affection they need to keep their owners at ease. I recently graduated from graduate school and am enjoying a flexible schedule while waiting for my new role to begin this fall. In the meantime, I'm taking on a variety of work, which means I have plenty of availability to accommodate your pet care needs whether that's a regular daily walk, a last-minute drop-in, or an extended stay. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own, ensuring they stay in a secure, calm, and loving environment. I'm attentive, responsible, and always happy to send updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in great hands.

“Adrianna was amazing and took great care of my critters while I was outta town! I will definitely use her again if I needed to go out of town again.”

About: What sets me apart is my hands on experience and genuine love for dogs. I’ve worked as a dog walker, have a dog of my own, and regularly care for family dogs, so I’m comfortable with different personalities, routines, and needs. Whether it’s keeping up with an energetic pup or giving extra patience and attention to a more relaxed or senior dog, I make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for. I’m reliable, attentive, and keep owners updated for peace of mind. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I already structure my schedule around caring for my own dog, including walks, feeding, playtime, and consistency. I plan my days to make sure I have plenty of time for each pet, so they’re never rushed and always get the attention they deserve. I live with my parents, so someone is always usually home with the dog! I’m reliable and flexible, which allows me to maintain routines that keep dogs comfortable and happy. I focus on keeping each pet’s routine as consistent as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific care needs. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while also respecting their space and personality. In my home, I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment where dogs can relax and feel at home. I supervise interactions, keep a consistent routine, and make sure they get a balance of activity and rest. I treat every pet like my own and keep owners updated so they feel confident while they’re away.

About: I'm new to Rover but not new to pet sitting. I have been a sitter for family friends and neighborhood families since I was 16. I have a love for animals and will keep you updated with lots of photos! I spent a year working as a kennel attendant at Kryder Kritter Hotel, so I have lots of experience caring for pets and administering daily medication. I have pets of my own, and I prioritize treating my clients' pets with the same amount of care and attention that I would for my own. I have experience working with all ages of dogs and cats ranging from puppies/kittens to elderly pets with health conditions. I’m a college student but currently on summer break. I plan to petsit to save up money between semesters, so I have a lot of time in my schedule. I make sure to be extra cautious any time I’m handling pets. My family had a bad experience with a reckless sitter, so I make sure that any hazards are out of reach and to watch pets carefully. I send photos daily so owners can feel at ease about how their pets are doing.

“Raquel did a great job. I really appreciate her putting our Chewey order away too. (Always seems to come when I am gone.) She checked w/ me when she had questions and gained the trust of our timid kitty.”

About: I have taken care of animals from dogs to horses since I was 10. I have my bachelors in Animal Sciences from Purdue. I have worked at vet clinics / hospitals and animal shelters. I have lots of experience to take care of your pet(s) and to make them feel comfortable! I currently work 3 12 hr shifts a week. On the days I work I can do morning and night stuff and the days I don’t work I am available throughout the day! I will follow whatever instructions are left for your pets! I can take dogs on short or long walks. Play with them in your yard or take them to a dog park too if needed to get some energy out!

“She did a good job looking after my cats, and checked in every day to let me know they were okay.”

About: Hello, my name’s Anna. I have been taking care of dogs since I was 26. My family got a golden doodle several years ago and he has definitely been a joy and a task. Having a dog such as mine has made me more comfortable in my dog caring skills and fairly knowledgeable about what needs dogs have. I’m also very well equipped to handle puppies as I recently got a cocker spaniel several months ago. But given that, my passion for dogs continues to grow. I now as an independent adult have 2 dogs who I’ve had the pleasure of raising as puppies to where they are at now. I work full time but like to stay active and adding furry friends to the mix on my days off is no big task. I would love to see more dog friends and help them socialize and make someone’s life easier. I don’t have a fenced in back yard, but I am capable of taking dogs on as many walks as needed. I am also capable of putting dogs in a crate and preparing them for crating as long as needed.

About: Ive cared for all types of dogs and puppies my entire life, I’ve always had animals from fish turtles dogs, and cats.i love big dogs I've have pittbulls and cane corso for awhile. Pet care is my daily thing. I have two dogs of my own a 6 month pup and a 5yo pittie. There my daily concerns right after working. Im a proud fog mom. I take my dogs on all sorts of adventures! Im a avid dog walker, i enjoy running with my dogs and others, taking them on mile walks are always fun. I give my dogs a-lot of exercise we hit the dunes and beaches for walked through the summer.

“Michaela does a fantastic job for our dogs that both have special requirements. My wife and I are comfortable leaving them under her care. Punctual and great communication.”

“Nellie is a sitter you can count on to take the best care of your pet! She has watched my Ollie several times and treats him like her own. Highly recommend!”
