House Sitting Near Northwest

About: I have many years of experience with household animals, family/friends pets, and various types! I am fluid with service animals as well as with animals requiring special care needs! I am currently open to job opportunities and have a pretty flexible schedule for the foreseeable future. I currently have a 14 year old maltese boy Unless specified otherwise, feedings are routine and scheduled based. Any medicines that need to be administered are taken care of. I have a big backyard, unfenced but have space to let pets out and roam on a long leash.

“Janelle was great and we look forward to booking with her again soon! This was her first time staying with our pups and she took great care of them. Almost positive they were hoping it was her instead of us when we got home :)”

“Victoria is the very first person we ever tried on Rover and she will be our ONLY choice from now on! She stayed in our home with our two pups. One of the boys has a daily medication and requires special attention. Victoria took them for walks each day. She sat with them while they played in the backyard and she let them have lots of snuggles while we were away. They were both happy and well cared for. Victoria sent lots of updates and pictures each day so we could see them. She cared for our home and left it spotless! Such an animal lover and we are happy to have found her!”

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life—there has literally never been a time growing up when I didn't have a pet at home! On top of my lifelong hands-on experience, I spent all four years of high school volunteering weekly at a local animal shelter, dedicating about 8 hours a week to caring for both cats and dogs. I’d love to bring that same high level of care, patience, and love to your furry family members! I'm currently on summer break from the University of Notre Dame, so I have plenty of time to spend with your pets! I work with the Boys and Girls Club as a Youth Development Professional seasonally. I value safety over anything and will keep a close eye on your pets as much as requested. I understand what can happen if an animal is left alone for too long, and will ensure that your animals are safe and protected.

“Lily kept our sweet dog in our home and did a great job. She sent pics and kept us updated. We felt so relieved to have found her and had a great trip knowing our dog was in such good hands. Would highly recommend her.”

“Bethanie was with Buster for 3 weeks. She did a wonderful job of keeping us updated with pictures and text messages every day. It is so relaxing to know that your pet is being looked after by someone so competent. She also left our home in a clean condition. We would not hesitate to use her services again.”

About: I grew up with animals, such as dogs, rabbits, and birds. I have a love for all pets, especially dogs. Different breeds and sizes. I did two years of a dog training club in 4-H and used the information with my dog. I currently have a full time job. I would be able to care for your pets in the evenings after 6:00 pm, as well as overnight if needed. I am available most weekends. I will treat your home with respect and integrity. Please leave a note with all expectations and I will follow them to the best of my ability.

“Samantha was very professional and responsive. She was quick to suggest a get-acquainted visit, so I was able to meet her and feel good about booking with her a couple of weeks before our trip. The day before the booking, she messaged me to confirm the time she would come the next day. As soon as she got in the house to take care of our dog, she texted a photo of him and assured us that he was doing well. She was great at communicating with us and sending pics of our pup. When we returned, the house was in great shape and our dog was calm and happy. We'll call her again!”

Shana B.

“Destiny did a wonderful job taking care of the two dogs overnight. It gave us a great weekend of seeing family and relaxing, knowing the dogs were well taken care of. We will definitely use her again and would highly recommend her.”

Marilyn D.

“Ruth did a lovely job taking care of our two dogs while we were on vacation and provided wonderful updates with photos. Our dogs were so happy and calm when we got home. Our home was also cleaner when we got home than when we left! Would highly recommend Ruth and will definitely rebook with her again!”

Tammy C.

“Absolutely wonderful! My husband and I felt very comfortable with Rachel and the dogs liked her from the start! Rachel kept us updated the entire time we were gone and even went the extra mile to water my plants since I was gone for so long! She even sent photos to us as she spent time with the dogs. Again, absolutely wonderful. I would recommend her to anyone with a dog, and who is picky about who they have watch their dog, as I was. Rachel was great. I will be using her again, definitely!”

Tracey P.

“Colette is a loving, proactive and communicative star! Who better to look after your four legged children than someone who does it full time. Colette is knowledgeable and provided regular updates on our little ones. I knew they were in excellent hands and care with wonderful Colette.”

Meg S.

“Candice did a fantastic job with my pup Bo. By the pictures sent to me he appeared to be having a blast. Once she left he was one tired pup. He went to the bedroom to lay down and I hardly heard a peep out of him the rest of the day/night. Thanks for making his day fun!”

About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience and genuine love for dogs. I've been caring for and owning dogs since I was 4 years old, and neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets. I would love the opportunity to care for your dog! Pet care fits naturally into my routine. As a former Division 1 athlete and University of Notre Dame alumni, I enjoy staying active. I love taking dogs on walks, playing with them, and making sure they receive the exercise that they need throughout the day.I have a flexible schedule and am committed to following their feeding schedule, exercise needs, potty breaks, and medications, as needed. I am a dependable and well-rounded individual who carefully follows all instruction to ensure each pet receives the best possible care. I enjoy spending time with dogs of all breeds and personalities and will treat every pet if they were my own. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client's home, I prioritize their habits to ensure their well-being.

About: I worked as a pet-sitter in the Goshen area during college. I have experience with older dogs and multi-pet households. I’m happy to keep as close to your regular schedule as possible. I’ve just graduated from UND with my MFA and I am looking for a little extra income as I adjust to life post graduate school. My days are totally flexible and I am happy to work around your preferred schedule. I’ve accommodated picky eaters and older pets dealing with incontinence. No matter what the situation is, I’m ready to dive right in and make your pet feel as comfortable as possible.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them comes naturally to me. I’ve worked with playful puppies, independent cats, and senior pets who need extra patience and attention. I love getting to know each pet’s personality—whether that means long walks, playtime, or quiet cuddles—and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. My goal is to make your pet feel like they’re with a friend, not just a sitter. Pet care is already part of my daily routine because I care for my own cat every day, from feeding and cleaning the litter box to playtime and making sure she feels loved and comfortable. Having my own pet has made me attentive to routines, behavior changes, and the small details that help animals feel safe and cared for. I also love spending time with dogs, whether that’s going on walks, playing, or giving them the attention and exercise they need. Caring for pets fits naturally into my routine because it’s something I genuinely enjoy and make time for every day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I follow feeding schedules, provide fresh water, clean up after them, and make sure they get the playtime, walks, or quiet companionship they need. I believe pets feel most secure in their own home because it’s their safe space, surrounded by familiar smells and routines. Being able to care for them in that environment helps build trust and creates a stronger, more positive relationship, making the experience less stressful for both the pet and the owner.

About: I've had pets since age 7. Everything from reptiles, fish, cats, and dogs (of all sizes). Grew up with multiple cats and currently have multiple dogs and cat. I have pet sat for family and friends since before I could drive. I love getting to know new furry friends and often walk dogs at the humane society so they get proper socialization, very important. Have had to administer pet CPR twice in my life. Both times were due to dogs choking on an object/food. Positive outcomes from both incidents. Safe and happy is always top priority. I work full time but still have plenty of time and energy to care for not only my own pets but others as well. I know what I can handle and will never take on too much. When in your home I like to know your routine with your pet(s) to keep them on it as close as possible to minimize stress on them which is why I prefer to stay at a client's home with their animal, if possible. Your pet will never be unsupervised outside, even with a fenced in area I will be out there with them. Your pet will be spoiled with love and pets, if they permit it.
