“Emily is fantastic and highly recommend her services! She is great at communication and takes the best pictures of your pet. She also is very accommodating and even brought bottled water when my water was out for my dog. Highly recommend!”

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.
“Ashlee is great! I had to unexpectedly leave work and come home for a few minutes so I ran into Ashlee who was walking LiLi. When LiLi saw me, she got excited and was pulling hard. Ashlee handled all 80lbs of her pulling with ease and had her back under control in a few short seconds. Will continued to use Ashlee for sure!”

“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!!”

About: I’ve been a huge animal lover since I was a child. I absolutely love my fur baby she is my entire world. I don’t have kids so she is literally my baby. I make sure anytime I’m dog sitting all the fur babies are loved, cuddled and cared for. All my friends and family always call me to walk their pets ,for feeding, potty breaks and overnight stays. I currently work a full time 40 hour job at a psychiatric center here in south bend but I’m free most weekends starting Friday after 6:30pm all the way to Sunday! I do have plenty of time to take off work if I need to cover an emergency during the week, I am more than willing to do that I will mostly be sitting at clients homes, but if I dog sit at my home I do have a big yard but dogs will always be leashed for potty breaks because the yard is not fenced and I’d rather be safe than sorry, also if your dog needs a crate I do have a medium sized one from when my baby was spayed. I have AC and lots of comfy doggy beds and spots for dog to lay. I have a cute yorkie who is very playful, but also keeps to herself.
“Mary was fantastic! So punctual & sweet with Pearce! My golden had some separation anxiety, but Mary did everything she could to make him comfortable on the walk and it means everything! Best rover experience I have had yet!”

About: I have house sat and pet sat my entire life starting at about 10 years old. I am fairly new to the area and am excited to meet some new furry friends and get to know the area a little more I am currently waiting to hear back from jobs so I am very open to any times! If I hear back from a job I still plan to be available during mornings and nights! I follow the instructions that are left for me to provide the same schedule as the pet follows when normal family is home. I also do my best to befriend pets and keep them calm and comfortable while they are in my care
“Took great care of my corgi puppy, Rudy! Very punctual and spend extra time with him playing after his walk. Followed all care instructions and couldn’t be happier! Thank you so much Lily!”

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 am a huge pet lover! I’ve had several pets over the years and I treat them as if they were my child. I feel as if animals should feel loved and cared for just as much as us humans. For the time being I am available ALL week including weekends. I have always had a special connection with animals. My friend of mine had a Golden Retriever and his name was Benny he was my bestfriend. We’d always spend time together and I’ve always just felt the need to look after him as if he were my own. My point is I genuinely care for animals and it’s always in my best interest to keep them safe and care for them as best as possible. I have a huge field across from my house that I walk to every morning and afternoon just to get some fresh air so daily walks and outdoor time won’t be a problem for me. I also like to have cats as my primary emotional support animal so their presence alone would be a great addition to my daily routine. There is a ginormous field across from my apartment complex for your fur companion’s enjoyment so there will be tons of outdoor and play time. I do not have a fenced yard so I will always be alongside them at the park with a secured leash of course.
About: Hello Hello! I’ve been caring for pets for 5 years - from energetic 10 week old puppies to 13 y/o senior dogs, (and many more in between!) - and I truly treat every animal like family. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I’m comfortable with everything from high-energy pups to pets who need a little extra care or patience. Pet care is something I’m happy to incorporate into my routine! I’m currently in school, so I don’t have to work around a strict work schedule. I’m available for morning/ afternoon/ evening walks or visits, and I’m flexible with scheduling to fit your pet’s needs. Whether it’s a midday potty break and feeding or overnight care in your home, I’d be there to help make things easy and stress-free. When I’m caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping things as familiar and safe as possible. I’ll stick close to your pet’s usual routine- with feeding, walks, playtime, or medication- so they feel secure and comfortable while you’re away! I treat every home with the same care and respect I would my own. I’ll be mindful of your space, follow your instructions, and make sure your pet has everything they need. Whether I’m doing a quick drop-in or staying overnight, you can count on updates and photos, so you always know how things are going!
About: I am an accredited dog trainer with about 2 years of professional experience. I provide puppy/beginner training to advance packages, including Service Dog training. This can easily be incorporated to your Dog boarding/daycare or a private session. I grew up on a farm so I was taught how to care for domestic and livestock animals at an early age. I've taken care of dogs, cats, ferrets, reptiles, rodents, and just about most other traditional pets. I have the experience and accessibility to care for younger and older dogs that require special attention from frequent potty breaks to providing medication. I am a full time student so I have plenty of time to dedicate to your pet's every need. I have 2 friendly furry pals that would love to play and provide company to other pets. I live in an apartment, but I have a dedicated area for this purpose. I also have a fenced balcony and my apartment has a dog park on sight.

“Kimberlee was great! She was responsive to my request. She was on time for both walks and sent pictures of Finn. I will definitely use her again in the future and highly recommend that you book her as well.”

About: I'm new to professional pet care, but I've always loved animals and have helped friends and family look after their pets when needed.

I’m a college student with a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to care for your pets! I’m available most weekdays and weekends, and I can easily adjust my hours to fit your pet’s routine. I currently don’t have any pets at home, which allows me to give your furry friend my full attention. I provide a calm, safe, and clean environment, and I always follow your care instructions carefully to make sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for.

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.
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.

About: I have had dogs growing up and about 8 yrs ago decided to get a puppy with my fiancé. We spoil our little guy with only the best food and groomers. Semi loves having play dates, going to dog parks and just cuddling and lounging. He is very active and is very loving. He is about 13lbs so he is a small guy but gets along well with most dogs. We have a balcony and a private backyard for your pup to sniff around! We are great at keeping to your preferred schedule, extra instructions for medicine is a top priority for us. We will send photos at least once a day and can adjust according to your preference of contact! We will take care of your dog just like it is our own baby.
