Michelle took great care of our dogs! Very responsive, handled minor issues with aplomb, gave us frequent updates. We (and more importantly our pups) could not ask for anything more! A+++++

Alyssa has stayed with our 2 cats twice now and we are very happy with her! She took great care of the cats, gave them plenty of attention and love, and communicated with pictures throughout her stay. She was also very neat and left our house in great condition. We will definitely book her again if we need an in-home catsitter!

Casey was an absolute lifesaver! I decided to book because she had great reviews and I was not wrong!! She reorganized her schedule to stay with my brand new lab puppy (10 weeks) for a full 5 days. My apartment was spotless and my boy was so so happy!! He even needed medication which she diligently gave him and I came back to a happier and healthier than ever pup! She was fantastic, and I would recommend her to anyone!!

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.

We loved Ruth! She was a great house sitter and pet sitter! We appreciated her quick responses and flexibility. She was great with our dog. He seemed happy and well taken care of the entire time. She not only left our house clean and neat, but she took the initiative and did some things without being asked, like bringing the trash can in the garage after trash pick up and taking the bed sheets off and placing them in the laundry room. We hope to have her back!!

About: Dogs are a part of my soul and will be well cared for. Including walks, playtime, food, water and a doggy door. I cannot wait to meet your pup. I am a stay at home dog Mom. I am always available unless I am running errands. I do 2 meals a day and walk in the afternoon. My pets rule the roost. I will take care of your pets as if they are my own. Also, if I am in your home I will be respectful as if it is my own.

Destiny did a fantastic job with the dog sitting over the weekend. Very communicative and everything worked out nicely. Dogs were great and she treated my house and animals with respect. It was so clean when I got back and I couldn't be happier. She said she does cleaning on the side. Next time I will take advantage of her deep cleaning while I'm gone. I know my pups loved their time with her.

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.

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: I love walking dogs and I make sure I have 2 water bottles for me and the dog(s) or cats. I’m a local, so I know all the hip spots where the dogs like to mingle. I can also care for sick pets and have experience with dogs having seizures and cats with diabetes. I’m willing to learn the proper way to care for your pet when they are in my care. If your pet has any special needs please inform me in full. I can currently only pet sit small dogs and cats in my current residence. A little info about me: I’m a local recent college grad involved in the artistic community around South Bend IN. I work for a local book store and have flexible hours. Mondays - Wednesdays my schedule is more giving. Thursday-Saturday, I am free after 3PM to care for your pet family. I work in the NN Neighborhood, so I’ll finish up at the book shop and can take your pets on a nice walk through the neighborhood. When I am home sitting for a pet parent, I’d like to know if the pets is on a specific schedule and if they are in need any medications. I spend time with the animals sitting outside in the yard or inside the home for pets who cannot handle outside weather conditions. If you have cats, I’ll make sure their litter box is clean when I leave and that all water and food bowls are filled.

This was my second time leaving my girls with a sitter. Jacee was wonderful, and made me feel completely at ease from the moment I met her, along with my dogs. She came to meet us at our home prior, and the one dog who takes a minute to get close, quickly welcomed her. Communicated frequently, sending pictures every morning and evening, which allowed me to see how happy they were with her, and I was able to not worry about them and focus on visiting and helping my grandfather while he is recovering in another state. I am looking forward to having her come back.
