“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!”


“This is our second time we have used Emily and we highly recommend! We trust her with our two cats and she also grabs our mail during the time we are gone as well. Thank you for the daily updates and pictures. We surely appreciate them! We will definitely use Emily again in the future.”


“Melissa took care of our cat while we were gone on an extended trip. She gave him lots of love and attention and sent us updates and pictures. It was nice knowing someone was looking after our kitty and checking on things in the house as needed.”


“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.”



“Michaela did a great job looking after our cats. She came promptly each day and gave us detailed updates. It brought us great peace of mind to know our cats were being well cared for while we were out of town.”


“Joan was amazing. I had a simple job helping my Indoor/outdoor cat get fresh food, and she went above and beyond each visit. With intense heat coming, she even thought of extra things like cleaning the used cat dishes and emptying the trash to avoid flies while I was gone. We look forward to having her back. Thank you!”


“Lily took great care of my kitten this week! I booked on short notice after she spent the weekend at the emergency vet. Would 100% recommend and I've already rebooked for the future :)”


“Val was amazing! She did drop in visits for my dogs for about five days. On each visit she took pictures and updated me on the status of my dogs. I could see on their faces that they were having fun with Val. She even bought them some toys to play with. She was very attentive and responsible.”


“Hanling has been an amazing pet sitter for my cat, Peaches. Throughout my time away, she provided exceptional care and attention to Peaches' needs. Hanling was diligent with feeding, administering medication, and cleaning the litter box. She even noticed and addressed potential health concerns, going above and beyond to ensure Peaches' well-being. Her communication was excellent, keeping me updated with detailed messages and pictures. I felt at ease knowing Peaches was in such capable hands. I highly recommend Hanling for her professionalism, kindness, and genuine love for animals. Thank you, Hanling, for your outstanding care and support during this tough time!”


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.

About: I've had dogs since I was a little girl and can always be found hanging out with the pets over people at parties! I get along really well with furry friends and I will take really good care of yours! I am self-employed, so I always have availability throughout the week when I'm not traveling. I also have my puppy I would be bringing with me if I am house sitting, so please keep that in mind! She loves other dogs. I can come and play with your animals as often and as long as needed. I will stop in every few hours if need be and will definitely give them all the loves and pets!

“Ivanis was fantastic! She cared for our dogs, administered medication, and spent quality time with them during her hour visit. Highly recommend Ivanis for anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”


“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.”


“Kennedy was wonderful! She was kind, responsive, and timely. We received a note and picture after every visit and she reached out if she had any questions while we were away for a week, which let us know she wanted to make sure she was doing the best for our pup. We felt that our dog was so well taken care of while we were away and would definitely book Kennedy again!”


About: I've spent over 15 years surrounded by animals I’ve loved and cared for—including a dog, a bird, and two cats. Beyond my own pets, I once took in a lost cat, rehabilitated her with patience and care, and reunited her with her grateful owner. Animals tend to warm up to me quickly—I think they can tell I genuinely enjoy their company! Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or just being a calm presence, I’m here to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I'm currently working full-time away from home and looking to fill weekdays after 5pm and anytime on the weekends with playful pets! I'm available Most weekdays and 2-3 weekends per month. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I treat every home with the same respect and care I’d expect for my own, keeping things clean, secure, and just the way you left them. I’m attentive to your pet’s routines and boundaries, making sure playtime is fun but always safe. Whether it's double-checking doors, monitoring behavior, or sticking to feeding and walk schedules, you can count on me to provide loving care with a watchful eye.

“Shelby took great care of our two cats. She sent plenty of pictures and updates, played with them, and was all-around very conscientious. They were not fussy when I came home, so I know she made them feel taken care of while I was gone.”

About: I have had pets and taken care of them since I was 8 years old. I was a 10 year 4-h member and a HUGE animal lover! I am ready to care for your loved ones as if they were my own! I work in the operating room and my husband is a firefighter so one of us is usually always home to be able to help care for your animals! We have 1 dog and 2 cats. Our daily and weekly routine allow us time to attend to animals we will be taking care of. We will treat your home as if it's our own! We will look after your pets and clean messes they make while you are away. If you are using us for longer sitting (vacations etc.) we will take out and bring in your trash, get the mail, water plants and clean after your pets! No one wants to come home from a vacation to a messy home! This is all included with our service.
