Pet Sitting Notre Dame

“Debra did a great job with our elderly cat! She gave us updates every day and sent photos. We are very grateful for her care. We would use her again :)”

“Emily was wonderful with our dog. This was our first time using Rover and I was a little nervous leaving Chloe for a week, but Emily was so great to work with. She is very diligent and reliable. The care and love she showed towards our dog put us at ease while we were on vacation. I loved her report cards, which at times were funny but they always showed her caring spirit towards Chloe. We will definitely be using Emily in the future!”

“Christina made drop-ins on my dog Wilson while I was out of town! She made sure he had bathroom breaks and spent time with him during the day. I got photos of each visit! She was great!”

Adia R.

“Heather is so attentive, thorough, and caring. She was thinking through every possible way she could make my dog happier and more comfortable. Her notes and photos were so thoughtful and showed an attention to detail that reassured me while being away. I cannot recommend her enough, and we look forward to having her look after Rainer again.”

“Sydney went above and beyond taking care of my puppy. She clearly loves animals and is very communicative with everything. If i could give more stars I would!!! Highly recommend her care for your pets!!”

About: My family always had a pet dog. As a kid I would feed and walk dogs in the neighborhood while they were out of town. As I grew older I would stay at family or friend's homes if they went out of town. I'm in search of a similar situation in South Bend - dog walking and light housework included! Weekdays I can stop in and let the dog(s) out for bathroom breaks. On weekends/evenings I can stay at your home so that the dog is familiar and will make myself available 100% during that time. I prefer to stay or drop in to my client's home. I find that the dog is more familiar/comfortable this way too. I am happy to do a test run so that everyone feels comfortable/familiar!

About: I have had pets since I was 4 years old. Growing up on a farm, I learned to take care of animals from a very young age. Additionally, I spent a lot of my high school years pet sitting for neighbors, family friends, and friends of friends! I have had many dogs of many different breeds and ages. I tend to be an active person, so walking and playing with my pets to ensure their exercise is something I prioritize. I’m very good at adapting to pets different personalities and making them as comfortable as possible. I work 5 days a week but on a hybrid schedule- 3 days in office, 2 days working from home. My hours are 9-3, so I have plenty of time during the week to love on your pet! Additionally, my weekends are free. Though I do not have any pets currently, I have an apartment with plenty of room, outside space, and live directly across from a huge, gated dog park— which is friendly to all sizes of dogs. Additionally, I live right next to tons of walking trails, perfect for those pets who love their walks! If your pup is needing to be crated, I can easily make that happen, as well as anything else your pet needs!

“Alexis handled our two boys so well. Definitely gonna book her again! She is a really nice and kind human and great dog sitter!”

Joelle B.

“Couldn’t have asked for a better cat-sitter. This is the longest I’ve ever had to leave Victor on my own and Lydia made that so much easier. Even when there were difficulties accessing the apartment— she was still so helpful! Will vouch 100%”

Shimon L.

“Erin was a great help keeping our animals happy while we were out of town. No complaints and only appreciation.”

About: I stand out from other sitters because I bring a rare combination of veterinary training, hands‑on clinical experience, and a lifetime of caring for animals of all sizes. I am a veterinary nurse graduate from Marian University Plymouth 2026, which means I approach every pet with a strong understanding of animal health, behavior, and safety. Alongside my education, I’ve worked as a veterinary assistant in both large and small animal medicine, and during my several externships at Emergency, Specialty Hospitals, Private Practice and currently working at a veterinary clinic. These roles have given me extensive experience with senior pets, animals with medical needs, medication administration, safe animals handling and recognizing early signs of illness or stress — skills that most sitters don’t have. Beyond my clinical background, animals have been a central part of my life from the very beginning. I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life, and I’m comfortable with everything from energetic puppies to shy or anxious pets. I also have a fountain in farm work which created a strong sense of responsibility and dedication. Your pets aren’t just watched — they’re cared for by someone who truly understands them. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine since I’m currently working at a veterinary clinic with a consistent schedule. I work Tuesday–Friday, and depending on your location, I can stop by for mid‑day potty breaks during the week. I also follow a steady, work‑style rhythm, so I can visit in the mornings before my shift and return in the evenings for feeding, walks, or check‑ins. My weekends are even more flexible, giving me plenty of time for longer visits or extended care. Because of my profession and lifestyle, pet sitting blends seamlessly into my routine, and I make sure every pet receives dependable, attentive care throughout the week. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and consistent environment that keeps pets comfortable. I like too follow the pet’s normal routines as closely as possible — from feeding and medication schedules to preferred walking routes and bedtime habits — because familiar patterns help reduce stress. I treat every home with the same respect I’d want for my own. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, enrichment, and reassurance so they feel relaxed even when their family is away. My goal is to provide care that feels seamless, trustworthy, and grounded in both compassion and professional experience.

About: I'm a dedicated animal lover, I specialize in drop-in visits for dogs and cats, as well as dog walking services. My mission is to give your pets the exact care, exercise, and affection they need while you are away. My Experience: When I’m not pet sitting, I volunteer regularly at the local Humane Society. My time there involves walking shelter dogs of all sizes, as well as socialization and playtime with the cats. What I Offer: Dog Walking: Fun, safe neighborhood walks tailored to your dog’s energy level and pace. Drop-In Visits: Fresh food and water, potty breaks, litter box scooping, and plenty of focused playtime or cuddles.I am extremely reliable, safety-conscious, and ready to send you plenty of photo updates during every visit! My Schedule: I work a full-time remote job from home. During the week I am available for short drop in visits at lunch time and available anytime after 4pm for longer visits and walks. I'm available anytime on the weekends. I work a full-time job and can fit in short check in visits during the week at lunch time. I'm available during the week after 4 PM for longer visits and dog walking. I can feed, walk, and play with your fur baby making sure that they get plenty of attention and love while I'm there. I will make sure your pet has plenty of mental stimulation to avoid boredom.

About: I am here to provide a comfortable environment for your animals. I have had pets in my home for as long as I can remember. My goal while caring for your pets is to care for them the same way that you do! I am a college student and my schedule is very flexible right now! My profile will say that I am only available four days a week, but feel free to reach out if you require services in the evenings on MWF. My goal while providing my services is to make sure that your animals feel safe and comfortable while you are not available. I gaurantee that I will treat your pets with respect and love whenever I am present.

About: I've had a passion for animals my entire life and have experience volunteering with a local dog rescue since 2018, where I gained hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds, and personalities. Over the years, I have learned how to feed, walk, administer medications when needed, clean, socialize, and provide plenty of love and attention. Family members have also trusted me enough to care for their loved ones while away. I understand that every animal has unique needs, and I strive to make each pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I'm available for pet care Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM. During that time, I can provide drop-in visits, pet sitting, feeding, fresh water, potty breaks in the yard, playtime, enrichment activities, companionship, and medication administration if needed. Because I have tarsal tunnel syndrome, I do not offer dog walking services, but I love keeping pets active through indoor games, toys, and interactive play that matches their energy level. I'll always follow your pet's routine and provide regular photo and text updates so you can feel confident they're receiving attentive, loving care while you're away. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and any special needs before providing care. I'll treat your home and your furry family member with the same respect and attention I'd give my own. I'm attentive to behavior, keep a close eye on pets during playtime, and always follow your instructions regarding feeding, medications, and household rules. You'll receive regular photo updates and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away.

“Carly was a great cat sitter for Crystal! 😊 She kept me updated during each visit with pictures and videos, which really helped us feel at ease while we were away. She was patient and sweet with Crystal, and I was so happy to hear that Crystal warmed up to her 🤍 Thank you again, Carly, for taking good care of our baby!”

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life ❤️ I’ve had both cats and dogs my entire life, so caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I currently have two large dogs and two cats of my own, and I truly believe pets are family. I’ll always treat your pup with the same love, patience, and care that I give my own. I’m a stay-at-home wife, so I’m home throughout the day and have plenty of time to give your pup lots of attention, love, potty breaks, playtime, walks, and cuddles. I also have a fenced-in backyard where the dogs can safely spend time outside, play, get some fresh air, and enjoy the sunshine. I love getting to know each dog and their unique personality and making sure they feel happy, comfortable, and safe while they’re with me. I know how important it is to feel comfortable with the person caring for your fur baby, so I’m always happy to send pictures and updates so you can relax knowing your pup is being loved and well cared for while you’re away. ❤️ Being a stay-at-home wife gives me a very open and flexible schedule for pet sitting. I’m available throughout the week and can be flexible with drop-off and pick-up times. I’m also able to accommodate each dog’s usual feeding, potty, and sleeping schedule so their routine feels as normal as possible while you’re away. I want every dog staying with me to feel safe and comfortable in my home. I have a fully fenced backyard for secure outdoor time and two friendly large dogs of my own. I also have two cats who stay in their own separate room while I’m boarding dogs. I’m happy to crate your pup if that’s part of their normal routine, and I always follow any instructions you leave for me.

About: I’ve owned dogs my whole life and I’ve often cared for the dogs of my family friends! I feel comfortable working with dogs of all sizes. As a college athlete, I understand balancing busy schedules with taking care of pets, and I would love to spend time with your pets either for a walking break or to hang out with them while I study! I am a full-time medical student but can easily fit dog sitting into my study schedule! I will have slightly more availability on weekends but will hopefully be flexible as needed. I treat my client’s home like I’d want them to treat mine! I often end up doing some extra cleaning where needed and I always clean up after myself and their pets. Coming back to a clean and well-kept home is always a breath of fresh air after time away!

“We had a really good experience with Kylie taking care of both the cats. Both cats gelled with her, she made sure to share many pictures from every visit. Had a peace of mind, knowing they were in good hands. We will definitely approach her again if we get a chance.”
