House Sitting in Shady Nook

“This was our first time using Morgan for our two medium sized dogs and she did a fantastic job! Our boys were well taken care of. During the meet and greet she asked good questions to get a picture of their likes and dislikes. She took notes of their schedule to make sure she maintained it. She sent lots of pictures of the walks they went on throughout the day. The boys were happy and worn out when we came home. We will definitely use her again for our boys when the need arises.”

About: Peace of mind is priceless; I’m here to provide it for you and your pet. My beloved boys passed away a few years ago; it gives me great joy to care for your dogs while you are away. As a dog owner with 30 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and horses, I understand how important it is to create a loving, safe space while you're away. Previously, I owned and managed a horse boarding facility in Goshen for 15+ years, where I cared for up to 20 horses alongside countless dogs and cats. I work from home full-time, allowing me to provide dedicated, attentive care for your pet. Whether it’s snuggles, treats, or frequent walks and potty breaks, your furry friend will be well-loved and cared for as if they were my own. I’ve even been called a “dog whisperer” by some! I know how much your pet can miss you while you’re gone, and I’ll go above and beyond to keep them happy, healthy, and comforted. I’m reliable, trustworthy, and flexible—ready to accommodate any special requests, from frequent updates to ensuring your little buddy follows their usual routine. Having used Rover myself, I understand how important peace of mind is. Rest assured, I’ll treat your family member with the utmost care and follow all your instructions to the letter. Your pet is welcome on the furniture, on adventures, and in my heart. Thank you for trusting me with your beloved family member! 🐾 I work from home full-time, which allows me the flexibility to provide attentive care for your pet throughout the day. From morning walks and playtime to mid-day snuggles and evening potty breaks, I can easily integrate your pet's needs into my routine. I ensure they receive plenty of love, exercise, and attention while keeping their schedule consistent and comforting. Your pet’s happiness and well-being are my top priorities! I live in a quite, safe neighborhood where your pet will be able to have plenty on potty breaks and outside time for walks. I do work full time, however I’m able to come home on my lunch hour for a potty break for your pet.

“She’s super kind and was more than helpful. She went out of her way to make my dogs extra happy, comfortable, and loved.”

About: We have a home where I have cared for and given a loving family to dogs and cats for years. We believe in a safe and playful environment for all animals upbringing. I only work part time and also work from home so I am able to pretty much dedicate all my attention to the animals when they need it. I have a fenced yard in my home where I can keep the pups stimulated with play time occasionally. If I have other dogs I'll make sure they get along but if need be separated. I mostly wfh and am trying to accommodate busy people by making last minute bookings so I'm pretty much available whenever it is convenient for you. In my home, I make sure to provide plenty of love and attention to all pets in my care. This includes feeding them on a regular schedule, providing access to fresh water, and giving them opportunities for exercise and play. I also make sure to keep the living space clean and comfortable for them. When providing services like house visits or house sitting, I follow the same routine as in my own home and also follow any specific instructions or guidelines provided by the pet's owner. If the pet is staying with me for an extended period of time, like during a boarding service, I also make sure to take them on regular walks and provide them with mental stimulation through activities. As mentioned, I have a fenced yard and able to put them on a playpen for their safety and comfort if necessary.

“Alissa was perfect for our Bailey! We had a really bad experience with Rover and was hesitant to try them again. She renewed our faith! Bailey was well taken care of. We will definitely use her again!”

About: I love animals and will take very good care of your pets! Play time and cuddling with no extra charge while keeping them very happy!! I am looking for a side gig that involves furry animals. I have a flexible schedule and I am open to anytime you need someone to look after your pets! I have 2 dogs and 2 cats that I play with daily. I let the dogs outside routinely but when it is Spring/Summer I let them outside for a longer period of time to get some of their energy out. In Fall/Winter I don’t let them out as long since it starts to get colder. For the cats I change the litter when needed and make sure they get just as much attention but also give them their space!

About: I’ve taken care of one shitzu and terrier mix and one German shepherd which are my uncle’s pets as he is most of the time on a work trip. I would looked after them on weekends and holidays. I’m used to feeding them, taking a walk and potty breaks and giving them a bath. Right now, I’m on summer break and I am not looking for a part time job or anything so I have lots of free time to look after your puppies! I don’t have any pets at my home but I’m confident that I can keep them safe and comfortable in my home! I’ll make sure to be tailored to any specific requirements or needs of each pet!

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 am new to Rover, but have been a pet/housesitter with TrustedHousesitters since 2018 and MindMyHouse since 2022. I am available for long term (7+days) in home pet sits anywhere. I am a snowbird, who lives in NE Indiana the rest of the year. If I happen to be in your area and don’t need to stay overnight in your home, I’m open to just stopping by and walking them. Just send me a message and we can figure it out. I am a social introvert, who enjoys spending time with animals, volunteering, babysitting, exploring, reading, gardening, photography and using my creative side as much as possible. I LOVE going on adventures with the pups that I sit for. Everywhere outdoors that I go, they go (if the pet owner approves). I am also just as content cuddling up with them at home. I bring over 30 years of experience in house/pet sitting. I have bonded with so many sweet pets (of all ages, sizes and breeds), made great friends with their owners, and have been blessed to be invited back by all of them (please see my 5 star reviews under my photos). I am very capable of sitting for multiple pets, while caring for your home, yard, plants, and pool. I grew up in a family of 7 and my parents raised us to be independent and self-sufficient. I have a flexible schedule and reliable transportation, therefore I have no trouble driving up to 16 hours to do a house sit. I am honest, reliable, clean, and respectful of other people's homes. I do not smoke, drink, or use drugs. I am very frugal and I strive to live a zero waste lifestyle. I have extensive experience with gardening, plant care, and yard maintenance. I worked as a florist for 10 years and have always had a garden and eclectic selection of plants of my own. Finally, I love photography and will most likely send you lots of cute photos of your pets. I work remotely five days a week and am able to be around your pets throughout the day to ensure they have the love and attention that they need. I will care for your pet in your home and can stay up to 1-3 months if I’m traveling. Locally, I’m only available for in home pet sits that are 3 days or longer. If I happen to be in your area and don’t need to stay overnight in your home, I’m open to just stopping by and walking them. Just send me a message and we can figure it out. Please see my reviews from my pet sitting experience via TrustedHousesitters.

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.

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: 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.

“Michelle made my family feel at ease about leaving our dog at home during our trip. She took excellent care of Rue and of our home while we were gone for a couple of days. We got daily pictures of Rue and we knew she was being loved on the whole time. I highly recommend Michelle!”
