House Sitting in Pottawattamie Park

“Emily and her little chihuahua stayed at our home for a week taking care of our dachshund and cat. She did a wonderful job with the animals and also took really good care of the house. I could hardly tell that she was here when we got back. We will definitely use her again!”

“Brooklyn was a great sitter! We contacted her last minute so that we could take advantage of some good backpacking weather over the weekend. She communicated very promptly, took great care of the dogs while we were gone (even sent us pictures and updates), and left the place in great shape. We would definitely recommend Brooklyn!”

About: I can train puppies and care for senior dogs. I have had 8 different pets all lived over 15 years old and I insist it is because they know they were well loved. I can handle huge dogs I generally work part-time. Currently home full-time. I take dogs out generally about 4 times. They will be well loved. Bring their favorite toy so I can play with them with it. They will be walked every other day health permitting. I generally prefer dogs but I do have a cat currently. I care for dogs, cats. I currently have a cat of my own. I generally like to train them as well with simple commands to make your life simpler. I am currently pursuing a certificate in dog training.

“Wow what an incredible pup sitter Stephanie is! We came home to a very happy puppy! The house looked great and she was so kind in sending us pictures of Otis all throughout our time away. We will hire her again in a heartbeat! Thank you Stephanie!!”

About: I have extensive experience caring for a variety of pets, especially cats, and I bring a calm, attentive, and loving approach to every visit. From feeding and medication to playtime and companionship, I tailor each visit to meet the specific needs of every pet. As a lifelong animal lover and dedicated pet parent, I understand how important it is to maintain routines and create a stress, free environment while owners are away. Whether caring for energetic kittens, shy cats, or other small animals, I treat every pet like family. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because it aligns with what I already love doing, spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for, as well as caring for my three fur babies. I plan my schedule to allow plenty of time for visits, giving each pet the attention they need without feeling rushed. Whether it’s early morning feedings, midday check-ins, or evening cuddles, I enjoy building consistent routines that keep pets comfortable and owners reassured. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do, it’s part of how I live. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and routines, aiming to keep everything as familiar and consistent as possible for the pet. I follow detailed instructions, give updates to the owner, and make sure each visit includes essentials like feeding, playtime, and litter or potty breaks. I also keep an eye out for any changes in behavior or health. Whether in my home or theirs, I treat every pet like family, with love, patience, and dependable care.

“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! 🥰”

“Lilliana took such great care of our pups and cat! We got so many pictures while we were gone. She kept them active the whole time!! We will definitely be in touch for future needs!!”

About: I have worked with and cared for all kinds of animals including dogs, cats, birds, and common fish. I have been pet sitting for various neighbors and family friends over the years, and I’ve loved every minute of it. Also, I own a special needs dog, so I have a fair understanding of dogs who need a little extra care! I work part time as a non medical caregiver in various clients homes in northwest Indiana. This means my schedule differs from day to day, but I often have breaks during the day between clients. This means I’ll have the means to pop in to take care of your precious animals. While I won’t be boarding in my own home, I am very used to tending to people and animals in their own homes. Every client of mine will receive nothing but the best in terms of safety, trust, and maintaining a nice environment!

About: I've raised pets (dogs and cats) for most of my adult life and would love to care for yours while you're away! With me, your precious furry family members will get the love and care they deserve, and I'll stay in frequent contact with (texts/calls/pics) you about their care. I've been away or on vacation and employed pet sitters in the past, and I know how reassuring that frequent communication is! I am retired and have no strict obligations that would keep me from sticking to any care schedule you need. Over the course of my work life, I've adapted to about every time and day schedule possible - weekends/late nights/early mornings are no problem! I have a reliable two-year old car, and am very experienced using any modern technology necessary if anything unexpected happened (Google Maps/Hailing an Uber/Anything smartphone related, etc) I understand how important it is to meet your expectations regarding the care of your animals and I will do whatever it takes, and I will treat your home with the utmost respect.

“We love Helene! Not only is she sweet and caring towards pets, she is also super knowledgeable about all animals. We hired Helene to watch our 10 year old ailing dog and she took great care of her. Helene is now our go to for dog sitting.”

“My 3 month puppy needed some supervision while my wife and I were at work, so we go Ayla to house sit our little guy. She was absolutely amazing! Super friendly, followed our care instructions, and even sent both my wife and I and update. I highly recommend Ayla to care for your dog!”

About: I have always enjoyed spending my time with animals. I got my first dog when I was in elementary school - sadly he recently passed away - but since coming to college I have been missing my sweet fur baby. Being able to play with and care for someone else's pet while also earning extra cash would be an ideal job experience for me. Getting a new pet really isn’t an option for me right now. With all the free time on my hands, and I would love to get the chance to spend it walking and playing with your fur babies! In the past, I have dog sat for other friends and family and I really enjoyed it and having the extra company is always a plus!

About: I've taken care of dogs of every size for my entire life. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to pet-sit, walk, and play with their 4-legged family members for years. I am thrilled to extend my services to you as well! I am currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to care for your furry friend. I am available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and overnight pet-sitting any day of the week! As a passionate and reliable pet lover, safety, trust, and creating a comfortable environment are always my top priorities when caring for animals in a client’s home. Whether I’m doing a dog walk, a drop-in visit, or staying overnight, I make sure to follow all instructions closely and keep pets on their normal routine to reduce stress. I treat every home with respect and every pet like family—offering gentle care, consistent attention, and plenty of love. I believe in clear communication, daily updates, and building trust with both pets and their people.

About: I grew up raising dogs, both taking care of the family pets as well as raising puppies for my grandmother repeatedly. I also have some experience in dog training I work full time, but only four days a week. I can always check on animals in the evenings and I always have Friday/saturday/Sunday free for pet care In a clients home I am respectful of the space that’s there. I find it easier to deal with pets in an environment that is familiar to them as they seem more at ease that way. I do my best to follow any routine an animal has to keep the animal calm and to make sure they receive proper care

“Brianna is amazing and took care of Theo at our home! It was nice to let him stay at home with her so he could have fun ,play and hit the dog park! She is our go-to person for everything and very appriciated!”

About: My motto is that it's my responsibility to make sure that each dog under my care is HAPPY and SAFE. Every day that I'm with your pup, I keep that motto at the forefront of my mind. I know how important dogs are to our lives, so it's my duty to make sure that your dog gets to experience the same kind of love while you may be away. I currently volunteer at the Toledo Humane Society to walk dogs and I have loved it. I am currently studying at the University of Toledo with online classes. I am always looking for more ways that I can get extra exercise and spend time with pets. I grew up on a farm and have so many great memories taking care of all the many animals we had. I miss my pets at home so I hope I can care and walk your dogs like I have for many years at home. Taking care of animals fits in to my schedule in the mornings of most days because I am not busy until evenings and I would love to use that time to take care of animals that may need a friend while there parents are away. I love taking pets on long walks where they can get all the zoomies out. I always start with saying hi and giving them a much needed welcome treat with some pets. I then will have doggy poop bags if needed on walks with some extra treats along the way.

About: I’ve been taking care of animals since I was a child. I have experience walking others dogs for the past ten years. I work well with both dogs and cats and haven’t met one that didn’t like me yet. I have experience administering certain medications. I currently work full time in retail. I’m consistently off and available for 24 hour care on fridays. Throughout the week I’m flexible and able to do walks and drop in before and after work. Housesitting during the week is not a problem. I will provide any kind of care I’m instructed to give. I will treat your pets as if they were my own. Shy pets are not a problem either!
