“Rockne has now enjoyed two overnights and numerous daycare sessions with Christina. These experiences have significantly helped Rockne in his canine and human interactions.”
“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.”
“Kimberlee and her family loved our dog as if he were their own. They even gave us some training tops for our young dog. I will return again and again for such excellent care!”
“Lynnette provided excellent care for our dog while we were away for the weekend. She is very thorough and professional in her approach to care, and her home had a wonderful set up to make our dog's stay comfortable. Very quick response times on all communication and we received lot of updates and pictures to confirm he was having a good time. Highly recommend!”
“This was my dog’s first time boarding and he is a very excited dog, but kudos to Tiffani for taking such great care of our dog. Also appreciate you for taking last minute booking.”
“Roxanna was great with Kallie! Kallie can be shy when it comes to new people/places but she opened up right away once she met Roxanna. My flights coming home to South Bend kept getting delayed and Kallie ended up staying an extra night. Roxanna was extremely understanding about the situation and took care of Kallie as if she was her own. Highly highly recommend ?”
“Daisy was the happiest I've ever seen her with someone else taking care of her. Emily is a treasure that I found. I'll be using her often. Thank you Emily! And her dogs were awesome with Daisy!”
“Boba and Marvel had a good stay with Chris! Chris provided lots of updates as well as photos of them smiling the whole time! It was nice knowing someone was taking good care of them while I was away.”
“Kat was great to work with and our golden Doodle, Augie, gives her 5 stars. We got pictures during her stay and everything was ready when we came to pick her up. We will definitely schedule with Kat again.”
“Jamie really helped us out by taking in Buddy on short notice allowing us to meet the sweet newest addition to our family. We could tell he had a very good time based on falling asleep immediately on the drive home. She was very good at communication. Highly recommend.”
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.
“Callie's stay with Pamela was fantastic! Pamela's house is in a great location - close enough for us to drop Callie off before a flight out of South Bend airport but far enough to be on a quiet wooded street that's very dog friendly. Pamela sent us daily updates and pictures over the weekend so we knew Callie was well cared for !”
“Leandra and Mark were amazing! We left our behaviorly challenged yorkie with them for a week and they handled him like professionals! We we got back it was like he was on vacation not us! He clearly loved them and di so well! We hope to use them for future vacation needs. We could not have asked for a better place for our fur baby to stay while we were gone. ❤️🫶🥰”
“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!”
“Haley is AMAZING! She took care of my 15 week old puppy last minute, and was super communicative. She sent photos and updates, as well as took him to socialize and made sure he was well taken care of. THANK YOU!”
About: I worked as a pet-sitter in the Goshen area during college. I have experience with older dogs and multi-pet households. I’m happy to keep as close to your regular schedule as possible. I’ve just graduated from UND with my MFA and I am looking for a little extra income as I adjust to life post graduate school. My days are totally flexible and I am happy to work around your preferred schedule. I’ve accommodated picky eaters and older pets dealing with incontinence. No matter what the situation is, I’m ready to dive right in and make your pet feel as comfortable as possible.
“My dog, Gabi, really enjoyed her time over there. Andrea was great at communicating over Gabi's care. Gabi seemed excited to see me but wasn’t scrambling to get home the way she has in the past with other pet sitters. Definitely would recommend Andrea if your dog likes kids.”

Andrew and his girlfriend took great care of my dog and made sure he felt welcome, their dog Jameson made sure that my dog, (who had never had interactions with other dogs) felt welcome and they played all over. I would trust Andrew and his girlfriend any other time they are great and caring people!
