Savannah is the most loving and sweet dog sitter! We had her overnight caring for our mini doodle-and when we came home-he did not even run to us-he stayed right by her side and was happy, content, and for the first time ever, he was not depressed while we were gone. So glad we found her!!

About: Hi, I’m Sabrina! I have over 7 years of experience with animals, including time in vet clinics, zoos, and dog daycares. I also did vet assisting for 7 years. I now focus on training, pet sitting, and spending time with animals full-time. I train my Cane Corso in various dog sports using a fair and positive balanced training approach that builds trust, structure, and confidence. I also have chickens, a cat, and a snake — so I’m comfortable with all kinds of pets! Your animals will be safe, loved, and well-cared for with me. I treat every pet like my own and believe play and connection are just as important as routine care. Let me know how I can help! I care for my animals daily—feeding my chickens, handling my snake, and cuddling my cat. I train and do dog sports with my two dogs every day, keeping them active and happy outdoors. I bring the same love, routine, and attention to every pet I care for. I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort when caring for pets, whether in my home or yours. I have a laid-back Cane Corso and a young, energetic hunting prospect GSP, so I’m experienced balancing calm time with fun, engaging activities like scent work. I tailor care to each pet’s needs, providing gentle attention, plenty of exercise, and a secure environment where they feel safe and loved.

I am working full time currently, I am off on the weekends unless and normally completely free these days. I work during the day most days. I usually work evenings one day out of the week,tuesdays. I am very flexible outside of my time with work! I currently have a dog and 3 cats. With my dog we feed him in the morning and evening, throughout the day I usually play with my dog let him out to go potty, and a couple walks throughout the day to keep them moving. I also feed my cats morning and night and play with them throughout the day and clean their litter box in the evening.

Kimberly was so attentive to all of our dogs needs! She made sure they were safe, happy, & healthy. We have more high maintenance dogs and she was the perfect sitter for them. In addition to making sure our dogs were perfectly taken care of, she went above and beyond with house sitting too! My house is going to be sad I’m back because Kimberly took such great care of the house and garden! 🥰

Samantha was amazing with my babies! She would ensure that they got daily exercise either by taking them out for walks and even going to the dog park. I booked the service where she stayed in my home and the house was super clean when I got back. She fed my dogs on time and kept me up to date on what they were doing and I got plenty of pictures of them! I hope to book her again my dogs loved her!

This was my first time using Rover and I have to admit I was nervous. Abby was fantastic! She took the time to come over and meet us and our pups before our scheduled trip. Abby kept in touch to let me know how our boys were doing. I could see by the end of the first day they felt safe with her. We came home and our pups were happy and obviously we'll cared for. Our house was just as we left it. I am so happy to have someone that we can trust with our fur babies. Abby's love of animals is obvious and natural. I would recommend her to anyone that asked.

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life I helped raise my parents dog, a four year-old Australian Shepherd named Eddy. I’ve dog sit and watched family and friends dogs, majority of my life. I really enjoy getting exercise and spending quality time with other peoples dogs, being able to socialize with them, play with them and get as much joy from them as I can. Im free in the afternoons Monday- Sunday. Also evenings my schedule is flexible. I live in Chesterton dune land area. I’m a animal lover but dogs are my favorite animals in general. I’ve got experience with many different breeds. From behavioral training - teaching dogs how to do tricks. From bathing and waking running swimming, I’ve got experience working with aggressive rescue to watching multiple dogs. I’m eager to help them no matter what the situation calls for. Thanks -Kyle. I’m currently working part time so I have extra time to earn extra income doing something I really love. It’s truly a dream job for me. I helped rise my parents 4 year old Australian Shepherd, i trained my dog to stay in the proximity of the yard when he was six months old he does not need a leash when we go on walks he stays by my side or within 100 yards. I’m very fortunate that I trained him early on at a young age so he knows the perimeter of the yard. He’ll also sit an watch the other neighborhood. Dogs play. He does not go into the their yards. He just sits at the perimeter of my yard and watches them play This is one something I’m extremely proud of.

He did an amazing job cat sitting my 6yo and 15yo cats! My 15yo had extra needs which were fully attended to and he kept me updated on how much they ate, if they threw up, etc. I booked an overnight stay and he went out of his way to wash the bedding he used. He cared a lot and was very thoughtful and detail oriented. Would/will book again!

About: Depending on the needs of your animals, I can come over how many times you need me to and take care of them! This even includes staying overnight if it is what your animal needs! As of right now I am currently unemployed, taking 1 online college course, allowing me to have flexibility to care for your precious animals all throughout the day! Animals are always most comfortable in their home environments and for this reason, pet care in a place where they are used to is best. I do require meet and greets before I take care of your animal, just so you know they are in safe and trusted hands!

About: Hi I'm Clarissa! I have a lot of experience with pets, both growing up with dogs and choosing cats as an adult. I have experience with disabled animals, as I often adopt special cats- currently I have a kitten who is blind and previously two cats who could not walk ♥️ My weekly routine can work around yours! I can usually be pretty flexible with your needs, especially now that summer is coming around! Looking forward to seeing how we can work together! I have two cats and treat them like members of my family. They are spoiled with love, treated with compassion, and cared for like they're my own children.

About: Although I am a cat mom of two, I also have deep care and compassion for dogs of all kinds! Since I was 16 years old, I have volunteered on and off at my local humane society, giving care to all animals. Care including: ensuring all dishes and laundry are fresh and clean, cleaning cages, feeding, as well as giving love & attention to each cat and dog! I also have had the honor of caring after my neighbors dog for about a year. This care included: taking him on walks and playing with him every 2-3 hours, feeding him, as well as giving plenty of love and pets! I’m currently working part-time, so I will have plenty of quality time to spend with your furry friend! During the week/weekends, I do not have a set work schedule, however I am flexible to work around my start and end times! If needed, I am able to easily crate your dog, I am able to take any precautions of care, as well as take upon requests that your fur baby may need during his/her time with me.

Lexi did a wonderful job watching our dogs! She was very nice, quick to respond, and sent plenty of photos of our dogs while she was spending time with them (I could tell they enjoyed her company as well). She was very tidy and left our home just as we left it. Would absolutely recommend her to anyone who needs a sitter!

Clarissa is great with pets. She'll probably over love and over care for them honestly. She's had multiple types of pets including a bunny that were loved and maintained well. She's timely, responsible and friendly.

Emma helped me with my pup while I was recovering from knee surgery. She walked him several times a day for me and played with him. There were times she'd even text me to see if she could come get him to walk or play. She was caring and patient which speaks volumes because sometimes my dog can be a handful. Emma herself is a very sweet and kind natured person and I highly recommend her to care for anyone's pet as I know she will go above and beyond!

Lexi did a wonderful job watching our dogs! She was very nice, quick to respond, and sent plenty of photos of our dogs while she was spending time with them (I could tell they enjoyed her company as well). She was very tidy and left our home just as we left it. Would absolutely recommend her to anyone who needs a sitter!

Katrina was wonderful. She took the time to come and meet our pets. She was at our home when she said she was going to be. She took our doges to the dog park and sent pictures to update us. We didn’t have to worry about our pets and knew they were well taken care of.

Aby was great with our two girls while we were on vacation. It was our first time using Rover and she kept us updated and sent us pictures of our pups! We will definitely be booking Aby when we travel out of town again!
