House Sitting Simonton Lake

“Trisha reached out ahead of time on video chat and also stopped in for a meet and greet before our booking. She sent pictures throughout the week to keep us updated on our pups, they looked so comfortable and seemed to love hanging out with her. Our home was neat and tidy when we got back too. We love that our furry kids can stay home while we are on vacation vs. going to a kennel & will definitely rebook with Trisha again!”

I’m comfortable with high energy dogs along with gentle care for seniors. When you book with us your pet becomes part of the family. I know leaving your pet can be hard so I try to make the transition as stress free as possible. My approach to pet care is simple patience, love and reliability. I’m happy to offer dog boarding in our home, and cats are in home services only. I’ve worked with many different dogs and happy to accommodate based on their routine and personality . Book with me! Hi I’m Leandra and together with my husband we offer a loving and reliable pet care service through rover. I’m currently a SMC student and work as in home care aid for elderly, who has a soft spot for animals. We bring a compassionate and attentive approach to every pet we look after.

We’re excited to welcome your pet into our home and treat them like family. Welcome! My name is Leandra and Mark ,dedicated animal lovers providing a safe welcoming home for your dog!

Our home was also cleaner when we got home than when we left! Would highly recommend Ruth and will definitely rebook with her again!”

“Bethanie took great care of my 4 year old cavapoo Lucy on a 4 day housesit! She sent updates and pictures each day (including of my girl snuggled up in bed with her), reassuring me that Lucy was doing well. She was flexible with my schedule and asks and my home looked just like it did when I left! Thanks Bethanie 🖤”

About: Hi! My name is Jayla, and caring for animals is both my profession and my passion. I have over six years of pet sitting experience, nearly four years of hands-on experience working in a veterinary clinic, and I am currently in my second year of Veterinary Technician school. My veterinary background allows me to provide a level of care and attention that goes beyond traditional pet sitting. I am experienced with pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, including puppies, senior pets, anxious or fearful animals, and pets with medical needs. I am comfortable administering medications, including oral medications and injections, monitoring for signs of illness or discomfort, and following detailed care instructions to help maintain your pet’s routine. Working in a veterinary setting has taught me how important trust, patience, and individualized care are for every animal. Whether your pet loves playtime and adventure or prefers a calm and predictable routine, I will make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. My goal is to provide reliable, compassionate care and give you peace of mind through regular updates, photos, and open communication throughout your pet’s stay or visit. I look forward to meeting you and your pets and treating them like my own! Pet care is a natural part of my everyday life—both personally and professionally. I work full-time as a veterinary assistant, so I spend my days caring for animals with compassion and attention to detail. While I am away for about 6-7 hours during the weekday, I schedule my pet care services around my work hours to provide reliable potty breaks, feedings, medication administration, and check-ins as needed. I’m also fully available on weekends, which allows for more flexible scheduling, longer visits, or extra playtime and attention when your pet needs it most. I currently only offer pet care services in the client’s home, where pets are most comfortable and secure in their familiar surroundings. My priority is to keep their routine as consistent as possible, including feeding times, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and bedtime rituals. With my background as a veterinary assistant and over 4 years of pet sitting experience, I’m especially confident caring for senior pets and those who need a little extra attention. I have experience administering medications—including oral meds, injections, and topical treatments—on a schedule, and always monitor pets closely for any signs of discomfort or changes in behavior. I take the time to learn each pet’s individual needs, personality, and preferences so I can provide safe, loving, and personalized care. I also treat every client’s home with the utmost respect and professionalism.

About: I’ve taken care of my two Labs ever since I was 6 years old, (i’m 21 now) and have been dog sitting and cat sitting the past four summers!! Also I have worked in a vet clinic the past four years as well. I have the special skill of administering medication! I’m currently working part time at the vet clinic in the afternoons and it’s only 2-4 days a week usually. I can dog walk or pet sit in my free time during the day and on weekends. Possibly for a week or so. I unfortunately cannot watch them in my own home due to not having a good yard for them because it has a pool and not much area to run around. And also my dads allergies. I would have to watch them in your home.

About: Animals have been in my life since I was born. Cats, dogs, rodents, fish... even spiders! I've loved and cared for them all. I'm confident around all pets no matter their size or demeanor Working in education, my summers are always guaranteed off so I have plenty of time for your animals! Mornings, afternoons, evenings...even emergency visits! I can do them all. Including WEEKEND AVAILABILITY Any instructions given about your fur baby will be followed to a T. They are my number one priority and will always be treated as such.

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs and cats since my sophomore year in high school! I’ve never had an issue with a pet and love being able to help :) I’m currently on my summer break so I would like my availability to be Monday- Friday and I can make exceptions on weekends for emergencies :) I have a fenced in yard but prefer to care for your pet in the comfort of your own home as I think that makes meeting and interacting with your pet much easier and comfortable!

“Samantha was great! She sent pictures and videos and even took time to brush the dogs!”

“Rebecca was amazing! My dogs liked her the minute she came in the door! It was so reassuring to know Rebecca was caring for our babies while we were away. She also took excellent care of our home. We definitely recommend her for drop in visits or - as in our case - full time care in our home. We like to travel, and will definitely be calling Rebecca for our next trips!! Thank you very much, Rebecca! P.S. Avalon and Sierra miss you! ??”

About: Hi there!! I love both dogs and cats, and look forward to taking care of them. I've had many pets growing up. Habló Español también. As of right now I am available and flexible on time as school is out. I have been trying to find a second job, and would much rather prefer this to be my 2nd job as I enjoy going on runs with my dog and hanging out with my furbabies (I also have 2 cats). Why not make money while having fun and meeting new furbabies? I live near downtown Elkhart (heading towards Bristol). I live in a very safe and quiet neighborhood where there is plenty of space to walk, run, and enjoy a large field of grass (if allowed to be off leash).

About: I have taken care of many different dogs and cats for family and friends. I always had pets growing up and I currently have 3 dogs of my own. I’m currently working part-time teaching dance to the youth between 4-9pm. This leaves my whole morning/afternoon open. I do have weekend business trips here and there but most weekends are available. I have a fenced in yard and three friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. I have a crate for any dogs that need it. As well as extra leashes and harnesses for walks.

“Thank you Olivia, it meant the world to know that Tegan was in great hands.”

“I had Olivia take care of my fur babies recently. I have a rescue dog who is nervous/reactive and it can be stressful for me as an owner. Olivia was great with her and knew just how to make her comfortable. Sissy warmed up to her and there were no issues whatsoever. She sent me pictures/ updates to let me know how she was doing. I will definitely use her again when I need fur baby sitting in the future.”

Lindsay C.

“Nicholas is the best! He communicates, is so responsible and attentive to the pups! We will continue to use him again and again! We truly enjoy our get away knowing Nicholas is taking care of our home and pups! We appreciate him so much!”
