“Nicholas did an AMAZING job watching our little dachshund Moo and our apartment when we went away for a week to Hawaii! He did everything we asked and much more! Nicholas is so nice and so professional and I would recommend him to anyone! He is now our go-to dog/house sitter!”
“Katherine is the best! She kept our animals very happy and would send pictures of them out of walks or playing. She is responsive and very kind! I would hire her again. She left our house very neat and tidy.”
“We are so extremely pleased with the petsitting services Kyra provided while staying overnight to care for our 11 year old 60 lb lab mix Macy who had surgery three weeks prior. Kyra is so very kind and wonderful with our dog and she administered Macy’s daily arthritis meds. I know Macy misses Kyra already and so do I. Do not hesitate to have Kyra assist with your house and petsitting needs. She’s wonderful and we highly recommend her!”

About: I am a lifetime pet lover. I have taken care of animals for over 25 years including senior dogs. I have a very pet friendly home where your dog will be treated like one of the family. I currently work from home which allows me to give your pet many potty breaks and walks around our neighborhood. I also have a fenced in yard so that they can get some fresh air throughout the day. I have a fenced in yard and 2 fur babies to keep your dog company. I like to take a lot of walks around the neighborhood and cuddle on the couch with my doggos.
“Alyssa was great with my dog! She was very responsive and started the process of meeting my dog right away. She sent me pictures pretty much every day I was away and I can tell my dog was well taken care of. On top of that, she was a courteous guest and my house was cleaner than I left it.”
“Elizabeth was an excellent dog sitter while I was away on vacation for a week. Archie felt comfortable with her right away during their meet and greet. She took great care of my Archie, communicated and shared pictures daily. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing he was being well taken care of. She stayed at my place for the week and everything was perfectly in it's place when I got home. Will most definitely be using her again!”

About: My name is Tiara and I'm a resident in Mishawaka. I have an amazing Brittany spaniel Bo and a spit fire of a cat, Bruno. I grew up with animals and both of my fur babes are rescues. Some of my favorite things are cooking, reading, swimming, trail walks, singing and of course animals. I know the feeling of guilt/stress all too well when it comes to leaving my pets to someone else's care, and I want to alleviate any of those feelings from you and your furry family members:) My schedule is pretty flexible, mostly evenings and weekends for availability. But I can make schedules during the day work! I'll work with you any way I can. Drop ins for walks, playtime, feeding, cuddling, potty time and anything they need to tire them out and keep their mind off of missing their family. I will treat with the same care I would my own babes! If client allows, trips to the dog park or walking trails!
“Janelle was great and we look forward to booking with her again soon! This was her first time staying with our pups and she took great care of them. Almost positive they were hoping it was her instead of us when we got home :)”
About: I grew up on a farm and I was the one responsible for feeding, walking and the safety of the animals. Trained puppies of all breeds. I have previous vet assistant experience. I have experience with grooming long haired breeds and administering medicine. I check daily temps outside to make sure pets don’t get too hot on walks. I have experience in noticing signs of bloat and know how to intervene. I will always let you know the minute your pet seems a bit “off”. I lost both of my Golden Retrievers due to age and now I fill my home with helping others and their pets which shines light into my life! I am currently working but my work is really flexible with my schedule. If I pet sit your dog or cat, they come first always. I have a fenced in yard and a river walk near by for daily exercise. I am used to medicine routines for cats/dogs as well. My pets have always been on flea meds and UTD.
“Candice did a fantastic job with my pup Bo. By the pictures sent to me he appeared to be having a blast. Once she left he was one tired pup. He went to the bedroom to lay down and I hardly heard a peep out of him the rest of the day/night. Thanks for making his day fun!”

Our dog was happy, well-exercised, and clearly loved being with her. I highly recommend Tiara to anyone looking for trustworthy, loving care for their pet. We’ll definitely be booking again!”
