Jaclyn did a great job watching my dogs who can be difficult around new people. She was patient and updated me throughout her time watching them. Highly recommend!

Nicole was fantastic! She was super-reliable to make arrangements with, and she took wonderful care of our dog and two cats and our home, making it all work between her classes. She’s a treasure!

Nicolas responded promptly to communications and did what we'd asked, even dealt with a rather complicated feeding process with grace! As a bonus, he was even already familiar with Litter Robots. Thanks for taking good care of our pets while we were away.

Michelle was awesome! She sent up pictures and updates multiple times and took great care of our 15 year old Aussiedoodle. She came to our home and everything was great when we came back. I will definitely book with Michelle again.

Marlie was amazing—when my flight was cancelled, she went back to my house in order to give them dinner. Rescued the day for me and my boys. Cannot recommend enough. Thank you, Marlie!

Bethanie was just perfect and so caring with my overly active puppy. I was able to get out and escape the puppy blues knowing my puppy was well cared for.

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.

Ashley did a good job cat sitting and looking after our kitten for four days. She was responsive over messaging and even dropped by for a quick visit a few days before we went away to get acquainted with the house and our kitten. We felt she is a trustworthy person. Thank you, Ashley!

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.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my five years of experience caring for dogs of all ages and needs. I have worked with everything from energetic puppies, who require lots of playtime and consistency, to senior dogs who need patient, gentle care and a predictable routine. I am attentive, reliable, and committed to making sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I take the time to learn every pet's unique personality and tailor their care to meet their specific needs. I am currently a college student in South Bend, IN, and I am available to provide both dog sitting & house sitting services. I have experience caring for pets and maintaining a safe, clean home environment, and I am happy to accommodate your pet's routine, energy level, and specific needs. If you're traveling for the holidays or simply need an extra hand, I would love to help ensure your pets and home are well cared for. In your home, I care for your pets the same way I care for my own, by following their normal routine, giving them lots of love, and making sure they feel safe in their familiar space. I stick closely to your feeding, walking, and play schedules, and I am attentive to any special needs or instructions you share. I keep your home clean, respectful, and secure. I am happy to help with small tasks like watering plants or bringing in mail. I want both you and your pet to feel comfortable while you're apart.

About: I have owned a dog for ten years and have done pet sitting within that time frame for neighbors, family, and friends. I studied animal sciences for a year, so my services include caring for other animals. I worked at a doggy daycare bathing, feeding, playing with dogs, and giving them all the care, love, and attention I have to give. I will administer medications, too! My schedule is pretty flexible currently, and I’m just excited to meet new furry friends! I even have a puppy less than a year old, so playdates are optional! I can take your dog swimming in the summer and am willing to go in the cold during the winter, along with everything in between. Let me know how I can help you and your pet. I work as a property manager for a family, but summer is really when I’m busy. Fall to winter is much slower since this is a second home to them. I entertain myself by playing with my own pup and kitties! I have a fenced-in backyard which is great for playing with my pup, who would be THRILLED to have a puppy friend to play with! I feed him and my two cats twice a day and i make sure to play with my cats as well.

About: I love dogs! I have always had a dog (or multiple!) in my life and have dealt with every problem imaginable. Whether big or small, a young puppy or an older sweetheart senior, it would be a pleasure for me to help others out with your dogs too! I know I would be able to provide the best care for your furry friend. Right now, I’m in a flexible stage of life where I should have time available all week. Mid-day works especially well, but again can work with what you need. Whatever routines, necessities, or even quirks you use in your home, I’m happy to do the same! I want you to feel secure and satisfied.

I have used this app throughout the years and Nicholas is by far THE BEST! He is reliable, on time, communicates very well and leaves no trace. As a matter of fact, he left our place looking better than it was when we went away. Most importantly, our dog and cat were calm and happy - they were definitely in good hands. We recommend Nicholas and hope he is available for our family again in the future.

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.
