Dog Sitting in South Bend

“Mykale is a wonderful cat-sitter! I have two elderly cats, one of whom requires twice daily medication, and so I'm always a bit nervous about leaving them behind if I have to travel. Knowing that Mykale is dropping in on them while I'm gone has really put my mind at ease. She is very communicative and the cats warmed up to her really quickly. When the winter weather got truly awful she even switched to an overnight stay last minute to ensure that Rascal would get his medication in the morning as scheduled even if everyone got snowed in!”

About: I have many years of experience with household animals, family/friends pets, and various types! I am fluid with service animals as well as with animals requiring special care needs! I am currently open to job opportunities and have a pretty flexible schedule for the foreseeable future. I currently have a 14 year old maltese boy Unless specified otherwise, feedings are routine and scheduled based. Any medicines that need to be administered are taken care of. I have a big backyard, unfenced but have space to let pets out and roam on a long leash.

About: In addition to our current two dogs and barn cats, we have taken care of family pets and have been trusted dog- and cat-sitters for friends and family since we were teenagers (probably a fair bit more than 10 years, but who's counting!). We are experienced with giving medications, special feeding needs, bathing, etc. We have a large, fully-fenced area of our property with lots of space to sniff and explore. We take walks around our neighborhood and the back of our property in addition to lots of running around the yard! Flexible work schedules mean we can care for pets during the week and on weekends! With any extra dogs, our yard becomes a fun dog park, so we would love to temporarily have your dog join the bunch! Our property has a large, fully-fenced yard (~0.25 acres), so it is an excellent place for dogs to run around and play. Our dogs are very friendly and love to play with other pets and humans. We know that many dogs have fine-tuned routines (feeding, walks, etc.), so we can always accommodate special requirements.

About: I have over three years of experience providing pet walking and house-sitting services, caring for a wide range of animals with reliability and compassion. I am passionate about working with pets of all kinds and committed to ensuring their comfort, safety, and well-being. I have two dogs of my own that I care for on a daily basis, giving me hands-on experience in providing consistent attention, exercise, and companionship. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize the comfort, routine, and well-being of each animal. For dog walking, I ensure they get regular, safe, and stimulating walks based on their energy level and needs. For pet sitting, I follow any feeding, medication, and exercise schedules provided and make sure they have plenty of companionship and attention. Additionally, I keep the home clean and provide regular updates to the owner. My goal is to make the pet feel comfortable and cared for while maintaining the owner’s peace of mind.

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them comes naturally to me. I’ve worked with playful puppies, independent cats, and senior pets who need extra patience and attention. I love getting to know each pet’s personality—whether that means long walks, playtime, or quiet cuddles—and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. My goal is to make your pet feel like they’re with a friend, not just a sitter. Pet care is already part of my daily routine because I care for my own cat every day, from feeding and cleaning the litter box to playtime and making sure she feels loved and comfortable. Having my own pet has made me attentive to routines, behavior changes, and the small details that help animals feel safe and cared for. I also love spending time with dogs, whether that’s going on walks, playing, or giving them the attention and exercise they need. Caring for pets fits naturally into my routine because it’s something I genuinely enjoy and make time for every day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I follow feeding schedules, provide fresh water, clean up after them, and make sure they get the playtime, walks, or quiet companionship they need. I believe pets feel most secure in their own home because it’s their safe space, surrounded by familiar smells and routines. Being able to care for them in that environment helps build trust and creates a stronger, more positive relationship, making the experience less stressful for both the pet and the owner.

“Kimberlee was very communicative and reliable! She took great care of Linus and made sure he was doing well with his food, water and litter box. Would definitely rebook!”

“First time using Rover and Ruth was amazing! Took great care of our dog and her communication was great. We definitely felt at ease having her stop by to take care of him. Will be rebooking with her next time we need it!”

Ben P.

“She’s just great! My boys loved her. Friendly and easy to work with. My younger kitty is very shy and he even warmed up to her :) Definitely recommend and will continue with her as our go-to sitter for my babies.”

About: For as long as I can remember my life has always involved dogs. I grew up with four dogs in the household, a Rottweiler , a pitbull, Chihuahua, and a Chihuahua mix. Beauty, Daddy, Baby, and Beast. I would always play with him, feed them, train them, and be their best friend. I am always the person that my friends and family ask to babysit and walk their dogs! I have always worked with dogs and I couldn’t imagine doing anything else. I am currently attending college full time. However, my schedule is flexible and my classes are online. I will always make time to provide pet care services! Your furry friend will always feel and be safe in my home! I have an apartment, and I also have a cozy dog bed for your furry friend to relax in! 🐾

“Michaela did a great job looking after our cats. She came promptly each day and gave us detailed updates. It brought us great peace of mind to know our cats were being well cared for while we were out of town.”

“This is the 3rd time I’ve used Josh to watch my pets when I was away & just as always he did a fantastic job!! He spends hours with them, playing with my dog outside & lounging on the couch with my cat. He sent me updates everyday making my two week vacation stress free. I’m sure my pets can’t wait for my next vacation so that they can spend more time with Josh!!”

About: Hi!! My name is Meira and I absolutely love animals with my whole heart. I currently own 1 dog and 1 cat. I have grown up around all animals and worked at a dog boarding facility. Either staying over night, working with them, or stopping by to feed them and give them potty breaks! I’ve worked with all types of dogs. Big, small, puppy, senior, and special needs. I am happy to help take special care for your pet. I understand bringing a stranger around your pet can seem scary, but I will do anything in my nature to provide all the love and safety for you and your furr baby! I am currently in college at Bowling Green State University, and I’m home for the summer! I’m usually free anytime everyday and will work around your schedule! I have a built in ground leash in my backyard. I do not have a huge sized yard because my dog is only 5 pounds. She is a barker to anyone, but is a sweetheart once you give her a little pet or play! My cat will leave everyone alone and will not bother. If your animal needs any special care or treatment I am happy to help. I love to interact with pets as much as possible, so giving lots of love and affection is my top priority!

“Kiersten was great! Did two drop in's for our lab and was dependable and communicative! Thank you!”

About: Your pet is welcome in my home! They will get lots of TLC, play time, feeding, walking & love. My house is small but live on 2 acres in the country. My yard is not fenced so I walk your pets on a leash & there are trails in the woods where they love to walk too. I also have a tie out if they dont do well on a leash & some are fine to free roam but they are never left unattended. I can take 2 small to medium dogs or 2 large or 1 giant dog. I will also transport your pet(s) to & from your home if needed. This will be an additional fee. I have been professionally petsitting for the past 17 years. References are supplied upon request. Any cancellation less than 7 days before stay begins will result in no refund provided.

About: I have taken care of birds, ferrets, squirrels, cats, dogs, and hamsters within my life so far! I currently have a 10-year old labrador and I can imagine how careful you would want me to be when hiring a pet sitter or walker. I also have extensive dog walking and sitting experience from my time on the app Wag. My schedule is fairly flexible on the weekends, but can be somewhat restrictive during the weekdays. Excited to meet your pups! I’m currently working part-time, so my weekdays are free after 5pm and my weekends are generally wide open :) currently looking for Fourth of July bookings! When I care for a pet in a client’s home, I am first and foremost respectful of their privacy and security. I take care of the pup as requested by the client and will spend plenty of time making them feel loved and nurtured!

“Isabelle took care of my two 14 y/o dogs for 7 days while I was away. She visited 3 times each day to feed/water/walk. I’m very particular about who I allow to watch my dogs due to their age but I was able to travel worry free thanks to Isabelle. Highly recommended.”
