3. Melissa M.
“Melissa is a dog whisperer. If I am not available, my 7 year old anxious yellow lab is happiest when Melissa is his temporary caregiver. I trust her completely to take care of my home and my anxious pup. She is dependable and communicative. She texts me pictures while I'm away so I know he is living his best life. We feel very lucky to have found Melissa!”

“Haley is so wonderfully sweet to my little old corgi girl Spooky. I’m so grateful to the kindness and care you show her. She can be ornery, but there’s nothing like a sweet Spooky cuddle. Thanks again for watching her! She was a sleepy happy girl when I got home.”

About: Animals are everything to me. Everyday I work with animals, Im a trained vet assistant who is in school to be a vet tech. I have fostered both young and old. If anything were to happen to your pets I can take them into my work place and discuss treatment over the phone. I work full time but my husband and I have every good schedule on letting out dogs. I also have a job that allows me to clock out to let them out midday. My animals are normal fed 7-9 am and 6-8 pm. My house is baby proofed as some of my babies are too smart for their own good. But I do have cameras to be able to see them and alarm systems. All of my pets have been around fosters of all shapes and sizes so pets coming into my home need to be comfortable with that.


10. Jamie M.

“Jamie is awesome! She took great care of out little golden doodle, Julep!! She walked Julep for us 3 times in one long, Notre Dame football game day!! Jamie also took time to stop by and meet us before sitting for Julep the next day!! We will definitely hire Jamie again!!”




11. Pamela W.

About: Your pet is welcome in my home! They will get lots of TLC, play time, feeding, walking & love. My house is small but live on 2 acres in the country. My yard is not fenced so I walk your pets on a leash & there are trails in the woods where they love to walk too. I also have a tie out if they dont do well on a leash & some are fine to free roam but they are never left unattended. I can take 2 small to medium dogs or 2 large or 1 giant dog. I will also transport your pet(s) to & from your home if needed. This will be an additional fee. I have been professionally petsitting for the past 17 years. References are supplied upon request. Any cancellation less than 7 days before stay begins will result in no refund provided.

14. Isabelle R.
About: I have been taking care of all kinds of pets since I was 8. I have a German Shorthaired pointer now so I can definitely handle some high energy dogs. I have many other pets including a cat, Guinea pigs, some reptiles, and fish so I am ready for anything! I am currently going to school to be a veterinarian so you can imagine how much I love pets! I have taken care of plenty of pets owned by friends and family and I am excited to have the opportunity to take care of yours! I am currently out of school for the summer so I have plenty of free time to play with, walk, feed, and watch your pets! I can’t currently board pets but I am willing to do whatever is needed for your pets in your home! Just give me instructions and I can do just about anything!

17. Yaneli H.

“She’s amazing!!”


18. Corinne B.

“Corinne was so incredibly helpful when we needed some last-minute help with our pup, Daisy! She was responsive, accommodating, and kind. Thank you, Corinne! 🥰”


19. Mary O.
“Mary is the person I would trust over anyone to watch my dog. She is the most animal loving human girl as well as responsible and smart. When I was out of town I asked Mary to watch my dog and I think my dog was genuinely grieving when Mary left. (I also am very picky about who I let walk my dog, but Mary of course came to mind first) She walked my dog very frequently, gave her love and affection, and was clearly always attentive to her needs. I can't recommend Mary enough.”




20. Abby M.

“Abby was great! My little dog Maggie loved Abby from the first meeting. Abby sent me plenty of pictures of her walks with Maggie and was very easy to work with. Thanks Abby, see you again soon!”
