About: Hi! I’m an animal lover with over five years of experience pet sitting for dogs, cats, and even the occasional exotic pet (most recently, an axolotl!). I have two dogs and a cat of my own, though they’re currently living out of state—so I’m really missing the daily joy of having pets around. I'm a responsible and reliable professional with a full-time job (8 AM – 4 PM), so I’m available for care in the mornings, evenings, and on weekends. I’m experienced with senior pets, administering oral medications, and providing extra care for animals with specific needs. I always aim to follow your instructions closely and make your pet feel safe, loved, and at home. Whether it’s walks, cuddles, playtime, or special care—I'm here to help and treat your pet like family. I’m a full-time professional with a work schedule from 8 AM to 4 PM, which means I’m available for pet care in the early mornings, evenings, and on weekends. I’m happy to accommodate feeding schedules, check-ins, walks, or cuddle time outside of those work hours. If you're planning a trip or need consistent care during non-work hours, I’m reliable, communicative, and happy to help. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or mine, their comfort and safety are always my top priorities. I create a calm, nurturing environment where animals feel secure, respected, and loved. In your home, I follow your routines closely and maintain a clean, low-stress environment so your pet feels safe while you're away. I value building trust—with both pets and their people—so I always communicate clearly and provide regular updates for your peace of mind. While my home does not have a fenced-in yard, your dog will get plenty of leashed walks, fresh air, and attention. I make sure they get the exercise, care, and affection they need, all while staying safe and secure. Your pet’s well-being is everything to me, and I care for them as if they were my own.

“Eddy was really easy to talk to. She was kind enough to grant our last minute request to watch for our dog Pixie. She took care of Pixie well. She sends updates with pictures and videos. Thank you so much. We would definitely book with her again.”

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.

“Genia was great, sending pictures of Augie and keeping in tounch as needed. We were very pleased with her accommodating our last minute need for a sitter and for the care she showed our dog.”

“Lindsay is fabulous! Margot loved her four night stay at her house. she was able to play with the dogs in her care during the day and she was extremely patient with her when she was whining at night in the beginning. I was worried that my six month doodle was going to come back matted after having five days without being brushed. I didn’t need to worry. Lindsay kept on top of the brushing (without being asked to do so). If we ever need a dog sitter in the South Bend area, we will jump at the opportunity to use Lindsay’s services again!”

“Andrew was a great sitter! Sent lots of videos and photos and did an awesome job taking care of our pregnant dog! He helped her during labor, and took care of the puppies. He even bathed the mother, and got her treats.”

About: We’ve been pet parents and pet sitters for over 13 years, and caring for animals has always been a big part of our lives. We know how important it is to have peace of mind when you’re away from your furry family members—that’s why we treat every pet as if they were our own. What makes us stand out is the personalized care we provide. Every pet has their own personality, needs, and routine, and we make it our priority to get to know them and keep them comfortable. Whether that means plenty of playtime, long walks, quiet cuddle sessions, or just sticking to their daily habits, we adapt to what makes them happiest. Safety is always at the top of our list. We create a secure, loving environment where pets feel at ease, while also paying close attention to their health and well-being. From giving medications and keeping feeding schedules consistent to making sure water bowls are always full and clean, we take the little details seriously. We also love to make the time fun! Pets in our care get lots of adventures—walks, games, and enrichment activities that keep them active and engaged. At the same time, we know the value of comfort, so they’ll also have plenty of rest and affection. For us, pet sitting isn’t just about the basics—it’s about building trust, creating happy memories, and making sure you feel completely confident while you’re away. Our schedule is flexible, and since we work remotely half the week, we’re able to adapt easily to your pet’s needs. Pet care is built into our daily routine, so your furry friend always comes first. Morning: We start the day with feeding, fresh water, and a walk or play in the yard to get energy out and set a positive tone. Midday: Playtime in the yard or a walk, along with companionship and attention to keep them happy while you’re away. Evening: Walk, feeding, and plenty of family time, whether that’s outdoor play, lounging inside, or simply relaxing together. Throughout the Day: We keep spaces clean, monitor activities for safety, and provide regular love and companionship. We care for pets with love and attention—making sure they’re well-fed, walked, and never short on companionship. Our fenced backyard gives them a safe place to run, play, and explore, and we’re always nearby to keep an eye on their adventures. We keep their spaces clean, cozy, and secure so they can feel relaxed, happy, and right at home while they’re with us.

“Lorraine did an excellent job with our dog Josie! Josie has separation anxiety and Lorraine was so kind and patient with her, making her feel safe and comfortable. By the end of her stay she was having a blast! Lorraine was great at communicating and giving photos and updates as well. We will rebook next time we need someone to take care of Josie. Thank you!”

“Ivanis is so very thoughtful and caring for our little girl. She is dependable and trustworthy. This is the second time we have had Ivanis watch our girl and she didn’t disappoint. I will ONLY ask Ivanis when I’m heading out of town. She is the best person for the job!”

“Jeanette and family were awesome with our cat during her 9 day boarding. They sent me photos or videos most days. Pick up and drop off were seamless. Our cat was no doubt given love and attention. Will definitely ask her to be Heidi’s sitter again!”
