About: I have always loved taking care of animals of every kind and I have been doing it for forever. If you let me take care of your pet, they will be loved and cherished and you will have a trustworthy and respectful person in your home. I am currently a college student so I am hoping to work with your pets on my breaks at home. On breaks or weekends I will be over to see your pet regularly and I will make sure each pet is well taken care of. That means working them into my daily routine. At your home, I am putting your pet and your house first. I will clean, take care of and watch anything you need me to while you give me permission to be at your home with your pet. No matter what I will make sure your house is taken care of and your pet is comfortable around me.
About: I grew up around dogs and have often been tasked with dog sitting, walking, playing, basically anything. Most of my family are dog people, and I was in charge of a lot for my childhood dog. I work nights, so I’m available during those busy days when you can’t find the time! I’m the perfect flexible carer during this hectic summer. I am incredibly respectful in spaces that aren’t my own, and while I can’t currently welcome your fur babies into my home, I’m comfortable in new environments and taking the pups for a walk anywhere!
“Madison took very good care of my three cats for a week while I was gone on vacation. Madison gave my one cat Meds even though Mittens resisted at first. She sent lots of pictures and left the house looking just as I left it. Cat boxes cleaned, food dishes full. I will have Madison watch my fur babies again.”
About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was 16! My goal when I pet sit for you is to leave your pet feeling well loved and your house better than I found it! As a dog and cat owner myself I know how important it is for our furry friends to be well taken care of! I work during the afternoons so I would be available during the mornings and evenings to be with your pet! Weekends are very flexible for me as well! I always make sure to go outside with the dog even if the yard is fenced to make sure they are safe! I want to make sure I follow what you want for your pet especially since that’s what they are used to.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, at one point we had 10. I’ve taken dog sat for many people in my church and in our neighborhood. I am currently a freshman at Trine University, so afternoons are best for me! I typically get out of class at 1 pm Monday-Friday. Thursdays I am completely free. I have a wood fenced yard that my two dogs play in and have plenty of space to roam. I can easily care for your dog if they have any special needs that need to be met.
“Michelle was awesome! She is very genuine and loves animals. She took great care of our kitty Hazel. She completed all of the visits as planned and sent great images and messages about the visit. She made our first experience with Rover a great one! We will request her again!”
About: I’ve had pets for as long as I can remember! I have been pet sitting for friends and family for the past 2 years. Sometimes just for the weekend and other times for some vacation. I walk, feed, bathe, play and sometimes give medicine to their pets. I am willing to stay at the home if needed and would love to be apart of your pets world❤️ I’m currently working full time Monday-Friday at a nursing home. My hours are 8am-4:30pm, but I am able to leave during lunch and leave early if need be. I am free Saturday nights after 10pm if needed and Sundays after 4:30pm! I will watch your pet(s) in your home. I want your pet(s) to be as comfortable as possible! I have crated animals before and would also be comfortable with staying with your pet(s)
About: The majority of my dog sitting caring experiance is for medium-large sized dogs such as Heelers, Huskies, Golden Doodles, and Corgies to name a few. I dog sat for family, friends, neighbors in high school then split my time childcare once I began college. I love all animals truly. I have two cats (an orange tabby and a Maine Coon mix) and a gorgeous Blue Heeler mix. So everything from overnight to quick walks I am at your disposal. I am currently working part-time in the mornings, so afternnoons and night stays work for me. This applies for both week days and weekends. My availablity is very flexible so I look to work around your schedule. My care is completely dependent on the need of each animal. If your baby needs to be hand fed every hour or just a pre-walk snuggle, I'm on it. Regardless giving them love and meeting your expectations is the priority.
