“Maddison is amazing! My puppy had a great time with her and her dog Elora. She also sent updates during the day and was responsive to my messages. Will book with her again when I need it!”

“Christina was amazing! She gauges the dogs needs very well and I feel our pups were happier when we came back than when we dropped them off! Definitely use her, she will not disappoint.”

“Buddy has been to visit Emily and Ryan twice now and I couldn’t be happier! Each time he comes home and is soooo tired from playing all day. I appreciate that Emily and Ryan are so accommodating and take the time to keep me updated while Buddy is there. I feel confident when Buddy is there that he is being taken care of and loved like he is at home. Thanks guys for all you do!”


“I’ve been bringing my dog, Mykonos, to Lynn for daycare, and I couldn’t be happier with the care she provides. Every morning, he gets so excited to go back, which says everything about how comfortable and happy he feels with her. He comes home calm and content, showing no signs of stress or anxiety. It gives me real peace of mind knowing he’s in such good hands. Lynn clearly cares deeply for the dogs she looks after, and I’m grateful for the warm, safe environment she provides.”


“Kimberlee and her husband (and their son) were all great with LiLi! LiLi was already playing with their sweet and very friendly dog, Odie, when I was leaving. I got lots of pictures and communication throughout the day. I was happy to see a blur where LiLi’s tail would have been. 😂 She had so much fun. I highly recommend Kimberlee and her family and definitely will use them again!!”

“Once again, Jamie took great care of my min pin doggie! He is so comfortable with her, and her dog is very hospitable too. I will always call Jamie whenever I am in South Bend!”

“Kat was great. LiLi was a little hesitant when she saw Solo because she’s not accustomed to seeing dogs bigger than her. But, it only took a few minutes before she joined him in a game of “chase” in Kay’s spacious backyard. When Kat’s other dog, Chewie, ran out to join the fun, all three played together very well. I was very comfortable leaving LiLi with Kat.”

“Andrew was GREAT! His whole house, from the inside out was extremely dog friendly. LiLi was a little apprehensive at first. He let me stay while he introduced all the dogs he was watching, one at a time, to LiLi. He made the transition easier for her by giving her (and all the other dogs) treats. Even though LiLi was nervous when I left, Andrew sent me a video of her happily playing with his dog, James, less than 5 minutes after I left. He took great pictures and videos too!! Definitely will use him again…tomorrow. 😊”


“Michaela was great! We were visiting Traverse City from Ohio and needed somewhere for our dog to go for a couple hours. Michaela sent us photos throughout the day and took good care of our pup!”

About: I'm a lifelong dog owner. They are truly man's best friend! In my care your pet will be treated with the utmost respect, kindness and love. I've cared for many breeds, from puppies to seniors. I will take the time to learn your pet's unique personality and needs. I've always had a special connection with dogs, and I am committed to make them feel safe and happy while you're away. I am a remote worker from home, Tuesday-Thursday and I am off Saturday-Monday, so I am available anytime. I can provide care in my home or yours. If you prefer care in your own home, I will come there, and I can provide care in my home as well. My home has a full sized, mostly finished basement, that is accessible to your pet for peace and quiet and playing! Of course, your pet will have free roam of the entire house. I also have a large mostly fenced yard that I will be completing with a gate soon.
About: From a young age, my life has been enriched by the companionship of both cats and dogs, nurturing a deep love and understanding of animals. Growing up with a King Charles Cavalier and now sharing my days with a beloved golden retriever, I've developed a profound connection with these furry friends. My personal experiences have instilled in me a natural instinct for pet care, from the joy of playtime to the responsibilities of feeding and grooming. Beyond my own pets, I've extended my passion for animal care into professional realms, providing attentive and compassionate sitting services for other pet owners. Each interaction has reinforced my commitment to the well-being and happiness of every furry client, ensuring they receive the same level of care and affection as my own companions. What sets me apart as a sitter is not only my genuine love for animals but also my ability to tailor care to meet the unique needs of each pet. Whether it's training puppies, providing specialized attention to senior dogs, or simply offering a warm lap for cuddles, I take pride in going above and beyond to create a safe and enriching environment for every furry friend entrusted to my care. With me, your pet isn't just a client – they're family. Weekend availability: full time to watch your pet. Weekday: 90% full time availability, I am a part time yoga teacher who teaches a couple classes a week. In my home or my client's home, I prioritize creating a comfortable and nurturing environment for pets under my care. This includes adhering to their regular feeding and walking schedules, providing ample playtime and exercise, and ensuring a clean and safe living space. I also make sure to administer any necessary medications or treatments as directed by the pet owner. Additionally, I offer personalized attention and affection to each pet, making them feel loved and secure while they're away from their owners. Whether it's overnight stays, daily check-ins, or dog-walking services, I strive to meet the unique needs of every pet and maintain open communication with their owners to ensure peace of mind.
“Val did a really good job with our little Miss Belle! She updated us through messages and instagram stories of what she’s doing throughout the day. She came back home happy ?”

About: Growing up in New Berlin, WI, I was lucky enough to be surrounded by dogs in my own household, as well as in my neighborhood. Whether it was playing with family and friends dogs or watching them interact, I developed a deep love and understanding for all kinds of pups from an early age. During my time at NKU, where I earned my bachelor’s degree in Communications, I had the opportunity to care for many athletes’ pets, which gave me the chance to bond with dogs and animals of all sizes and breeds. I also spent a year working as a pet nanny for an adorable Alaskan Klee Kai puppy, which only deepened my experience in handling and nurturing dogs. By engaging psychologically, physically, and emotionally with the dog is very important for their overall well being and growth. Currently, I have a 6-year old male Australian Shepherd named Remington who is full of energy and loves to socialize with dogs of all shapes and sizes. He’s very friendly, playful, and always up for an opportunity to make new friends. We’re lucky enough to have a large fenced in yard where we enjoy running around, playing fetch, and getting plenty of exercise. Whether you need someone to take care of your fur baby for the day, go for a walk, or overnight stays, I’m ready to give your pet all the love, attention, and care they need. With years of experience and a true passion for dogs I’m confident I can offer your pet, a fun, safe & happy experience while you’re away. I am free 24-7 on weekends, during the week it varies. Feel free to message me for more info! I would love to care for your fur baby. I believe in making the home not just a home for me, but for the dog as well. Making sure they are comfortable from the time they step foot in my door to when they leave.

“My fur babies had such a great time with Desmond! He was kind enough to take them in last minute and made me feel so comfortable. You could tell he really cared for them. I will definitely use him again soon!”
About: I have three pups. I've fostered for different rescues in the area and can provide references upon request. We've had every type of pup here and haven't ever had to turn one away. I only work about 20 hours a week so I'm home often to love on your pups. I have a completely fenced in backyard and dog doors so your pups can have freedom to play and potty when they need My pup is Ollie, a yellow lab born around 2014. He was a rescue from Homeward Bound animal shelter and is the best boy! Paddy (Padfoot), my Labradooodle was born around 2021 and has such a sweet disposition! He was also adopted from Homeward Bound. My pup Fred Rogers (Chi-Weenie) was also born around 2021 and was actually a client's (turned friend) pup through Rover. My client unfortunately passed but she asked that he stay with me and he has become an amazing part of the family. I've also fostered dogs through SBARC and for Homeward bound. I love helping our furry friends feel comfortable and loved.
About: As a big animal lover I’ve always sought ways to spend more time with them in whatever ways I could - be that pet-sitting for friends and family, helping to exercise friend’s dogs when they were busy, to volunteering for the last 12 years at a therapeutic horseback-riding facility. In that time I’ve dedicated to learning as much as I could about dogs, cats, and horses and how to care for and teach them so you can feel secure that your pet will be treated with the utmost kindness, respect, and love, with some dashes of training and fun mixed in. Need someone to care for your furry family member - look no further! I currently deliver packages for Amazon Flex and schedule my blocks day-of (usually only 2 hours or less before they start) so I’m always able to be available if need be. If in your home I can feed, water, walk, snuggle with, give medication, do basic training or exercise your dog and will do so in the most professional manner possible. If your dog is coming over to my home, I have a large, clear fenced in yard where my 11.5 month old Irish Setter has plenty of room to get her energy out daily so you can feel comfortable that your dogs would have ample space to wear themselves out and a super-friendly (and gentle) playmate to help in that endeavor. Afterwards I have a spare XL hard plastic crate if they need time and space to rest or if they are spending the night, along with plenty of fuzzy blankets and toys they can snuggle up with. Whatever it is your looking for, I’m happy to help make you and your dog’s lives happier, healthier and as stress-free as can be!
About: Hi! I’m Kelsey and I have a super pet-friendly studio for me and your favorite pup(s) in East Village. When I’m taking care of your cat or dog, my priority will always be to stay in touch, and I will be sure to send updates and accompanying photos of your pets adventures. Similarly, I will be sure to always be available if you need me! Taking your pets for walks and cuddling with your pets are a few of my favorite things. I’ll be sure to follow the schedule to which we agree. I possess over 10 years of pet sitting experience, and looking forward to many more!! Longer stays (7+ days) preferred! ***I will be updating my scheduling regularly and will try to respond to messages in under 2-3 hours.*** I have a very large pet friendly studio and work from home during the day! Your pups will love to stay with me! I will take your pup for neighborhood adventures every day of the week! My studio has AC and I live in my studio full-time. When not working at a restaurant in the evenings, I will be with your pup 24/7. Longer stays preferred (7+ days).
“We were very pleased with the care our beagle received. Her back yard is fenced which allowed Spencer to be outside without a leash, which he loves. Will use her again, absolutely!”
